The AAIB report on the Challenger 604 crash at Birmingham England a few years ago made specific (and, IIRC, scathing) reference to the FAA document in question...should be easy enough to track down....
Strangely enough, I recently found and quoted the same passage on a different forum. I think the CVR captured an exchange that sums it up nicely:

Commander: “GOT A (????) FROST ON THE LEADING EDGE, ON THERE, DID YOU-ALL LOOK AT IT?”
Handling pilot: “HUH?”
Commander: “D’YOU (????) THAT FROST ON THE LEADING EDGE – WINGS?”
Handling pilot: “ DID I FEEL ‘EM?”
Commander: “YEAH, DID YOU-ALL CHECK THAT OUT?”
Handling pilot: “YUH”

They lived for a further 14 minutes.
