Correspondence 1993-1998, re Michael O’Connor’s move to release copies of Turner & Newall records gathered in preparation of Chase Manhattan Bank v. T&N plc et al., United States District Court, Southern District of New York.

At the time O’Connor was Vice President and Senior Associate Counsel of Chase Manhattan Bank.

Includes

• set of Turner & Newall documents re insulation and shipbuilding, 1944-1950, with an overview
• SPAID documentation on Dr Kevin Browne
• set of Turner & Newall documents re asbestosis widows and press coverage of one of them, Molly Fisher
• press coverage on Chase Manhattan’s case turning to dust, and an inquiry from Nancy Tait with London colleagues, asking could they let her have “the index to Mike O’Connor’s papers”

Closes with Nancy Tait corresponding re O’Connor’s Freedom of Information Award in the UK, 1995, in recognition of “his remarkable efforts to supply British victims of asbestos diseases with documents needed for their compensation claims."

Copies of minutes and other papers relating to T&N Board and Executive Committee meetings, 1967-1990.

With a detailed covering letter from Michael O'Connor, 20 July 1993. Correspondence and papers re proposed changes to the Asbestos Regulations and T&N's subsequent steps for compliance.

Papers include

• minutes of T&N Chairman's Committee meetings, meetings of Advisory Panel on Problems Arising from the Use of Asbestos, meetings between the Ministry of Labour (renamed Department of Employment and Productivity in 1968) and the Asbestosis Research Council (ARC)
• also records re first prosecution of T&N for breaching the new regulations, 1971
• and what Michael O'Connor (and Nancy Tait with him) termed the "evil day" memorandum of 12 August 1968. This came from the manager of J W Roberts Railways and Insulation Department, advising the Chairman of J W Roberts (A N (‘Sandy’) Marshall) on the probable impact of the provisions made in the draft Regulations on Asbestos re sales of sprayed and other asbestos.The memorandum includes the comment: “If … we demonstrate, by a token effort only of ostensible intention to comply with the regulations, it is conceivable that we can ward off the evil day when asbestos cannot economically be applied …”

Corporate correspondence and papers re media coverage on the asbestos industry, in particular the Yorkshire Television documentary ‘Alice: a fight for life’ (broadcast 20 July 1982). The programme was named after Alice Jefferson, who developed malignant pleural mesothelioma thirty years after working at an asbestos plant for a few months as a teenager. The film documented her last days and explored the health issues surrounding the manufacture and use of asbestos products.

Includes

• formal complaint to the Independent Broadcasting Authority by Wilfred Penney (Asbestos Information Centre)
• T&N's extensive point by point refutations of statements made in the documentary, among them the allegation that T&N had removed four pages from the evidence it submitted to the Advisory Committee on Asbestos (Simpson Committee) in 1976-1977; presumably the tables 'Airborne asbestos dust survey results' 1961-1972, see http://atom.lib.strath.ac.uk/oeda-turner-newall-tables-to-aca )

The bulk of the file dates from 1982-1983. Covering correspondence with Chase Manhattan is dated 1993.
