A report by Daniel C. Braun, Medical Director of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, to the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association, dated September 1957 and marked "Restricted Copy 23". After criticizing earlier autopsy-based studies, it follows 5958 miners at Thetford Mines and Asbestos, Quebec, from 1950 through 1955, finding nine proved and three suspected lung cancer deaths, all in smokers. It concludes the miners had no significantly higher lung cancer death rate than the general population, and suspects that under-reporting of asbestosis produced an apparent asbestosis link.
