A marked-up draft letter from W. C. Thurber to OSHA stating that Calidria Corporation has mined and milled chrysotile asbestos in San Benito County, California, since 1963 and has used a warning label on its bags since 1968. The letter says the company plans to begin using an updated label, citing new health hazard information and the OSHA Hazard Communication regulation (1910.1200), and asks OSHA to say if it has objections. Handwritten edits change the date and addressee and add a note that appears to say "within 30 days".
