The exhibit combines a Union Carbide report of call on United States Gypsum Co. (Des Plaines, Ill.) with an internal memo from H. B. Rhodes to J. L. Myers. In the call report, Dr. Earl Maynard of USG research confirmed that USG plants would supply asbestos-free product to areas that prohibit or restrict asbestos, and the report recommended seeking clarification of the New York law and the West Coast specifications. The memo, dated April 11, 1973, discussed the FDA ban on general-use asbestos garments and suggested getting an interpretation from the law department.
