Report of a call with Mort Higgs, Technical Director of U.S. Gypsum Company, South Gate, CA. It records that U.S. Gypsum's fiber counts differed from Union Carbide's and from an insurance company survey, and that U.S. Gypsum's research people acknowledged an error in their calculating procedure. It also records Higgs's comments on competitors' asbestos-free tape joint compounds and on the spraying and sanding debates.
