Two-page memo about possible liability from not labelling the company's joint compound products as hazardous because of their asbestos fiber content. It reports that tests showed fiber levels inside Federal Government limits, that attorneys and Mr. Kipp thought this gave inadequate protection, and that Product Management feared a competitive disadvantage from labelling. It recommends taking the matter to the Gypsum Association as an industry problem rather than acting unilaterally. One paragraph on page 1 is blacked out.
