A Union Carbide Metals Division internal memo of October 31, 1978, from Harrison B. Rhodes to E. A. Piersall, forwards an attached Johns-Manville letter on EPA actions to regulate mineral fibers as asbestos. The attached October 9, 1978 letter from Richard P. Carter of Johns-Manville to EPA's Joseph Padgett disputes an EPA draft report and a recommendation by Roy Albert to regulate taconite as an asbestos cancer hazard.
