           featuring expert speakers:

              -- Sean Fitzgerald, President, Scientific Analytical
                 Institute, Inc.
              -- Richard A. Lemen, Ph.D., M.S.P.H., Former Deputy
                 Director and Acting Director, National Institute for
                 Occupational Safety and Health and Assistant Surgeon

                 ADAO

WHAT:      Press Conference to Unveil Research Findings on Products
           Containing Asbestos

           ADAO and guest experts will discuss landmark findings from
           ADAO and the Scientific Analytical Institute that reveal
           asbestos in everyday products including children's toys,
           appliances, hardware & household goods and home & garden
           items. The findings, the first in a series of test results,
           will include specific product examples, analyses on the
           dangers of asbestos exposure, and the new, younger profile
           of asbestos victims. ADAO has been working with Senator
           Patty Murray (D-WA) and other key members of Congress to
           implement a full ban on asbestos. The occurrence of
           asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma, lung
           cancer and asbestosis, is growing out of control. Studies
           estimate that during the next decade, 100,000 victims in
           the United States will die of an asbestos related disease
           annually - equaling 30 deaths per day.
