Cover letter from Harrison B. Rhodes to T. R. Alexander responding to his March 14, 1978 letter on DOT Docket HM-160, enclosing an annotated copy of the March 2, 1978 Federal Register notice of proposed rules on transporting asbestos and a draft Asbestos Information Association/North America (AIA/NA) comment letter dated 4/18/78. The letter describes the AIA/NA strategy of trading more extensive labelling for relaxed requirements, and the draft objects to the finding of unreasonable risk, rigid airtight packaging, the undefined term 'occupational exposure', and the ban on open vehicles.
