A one-page memorandum from Darrell K. Mattheis of Organization Resources Counselors (ORC) to its Occupational Safety and Health Group and Asbestos Task Force, forwarding a British Health and Safety Executive news release of 27 August 1982 on tighter asbestos control limits. The memo notes the Commission's statement that the new limits are not absolutely safe levels and that the U.S. has used considerable crocidolite.
