They probably were; but 1 don't recall 12 A. Lacquers would be an example, but 1 can't 13 them, sir. 13 think of Aroclors being used in lacquers. 14 Q. And was it a type of a--a handout type 14 Q.

(By Mr. Taylor) Well, for example, if a 21 miscellaneous column? 21 customer didn't know what to do with 1254, would 22 A. 1 would think that would be more in the 22 that be something that the council would advise that 23 miscellaneous column, sir. 23 customer on? 24 Q. And that's 6 percent. What other uses 24 A. No. A better example would be a guy that 25 would be considered -- that you can think of that 25 was making something for the automotive industry and Page 102 Page 104 1 may fall under the miscellaneous column? 1 could not meet the tensile strength requirements of 2 A. 1 haven't the slightest idea.

Sir, were you on the Monsanto 4 replace it with X parts of Santicizer 160 your 5 plasticizer council? 5 tensile strength would be increased by 200 pounds 6 A. 1 guess 1 was, yes, sir. 6 per square inch. 7 MR. DIMURO: Well, 1 don't want you to 7 MR. TAYLOR: The next document will be 8 guess. 8 Waychoff 15. 9 THE WITNESS: Not guess? 1 can't 9 (Document was marked for identification 10 remember the plasticizer council hardly at 10 as Defendant's Waychoff Exhibit No. 15.) 11 all, sir. 11 (A recess was taken.) 12 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Well, you were aware of 12 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Mr. Waychoff, you have 13 a body by the name of the plasticizer council? 13 before you what's been marked as Waychoff 15 with 14 A. That was a salesman's dream 1 think. 14 today's date. 15 Q. Tell me what you mean by that. 15 MS. O'CONNOR: Is Adam on the line? 16 A. 1 think you just try to gussy it up and 16 MR. RADITZ: Yes, 1 am. 17 make it sound big. 17 MS. O'CONNOR: Oh, sorry. Okay. 18 Q. And what was your recollection of what 18 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Can you identify that 19 function the plasticizer council played within 19 document? 20 Monsanto or for its customers? 20 A. It's a personal and confidential 21 A. If a customer had a problem, they would 21 memorandum to all the market managers in the United 22 bring it to us and we would try to get together and 22 States concerning Aroclor Bulletin O/PL-306. 23 come up with a solution to the problem. 23 Q. Okay. Sir, it says in that first 24 Q. Now, is that part of the plasticizer 24 paragraph it has been out of print for some time. 25 council's function? 25 And this memo is dated April 3, 1970. Waychoff Pages 101 -104 WATER PCB-SD0000024264 Page 105 Page 107 1 Do you know when that bulletin went out 1 Q. Okay. So the sales director or the 2 of print? 2 marketing directors would not have been involved in 3 A. No, 1 do not, sir. 3 that decision - 4 Q. Can you estimate the time frame? 4 A. No. 5 A. 1 would only be guessing, and I'd prefer 5 Q. --to keep out of print or-- 6 not to guess. 6 A. Cumming Paton was probably the man who 7 Q. Well, was it during your tenure as 7 was involved, although 1 cannot swear to that. 8 product manager between 1960 and 1970? 8 Q. Okay. And would it have been within his 9 A. Yes, it was. 9 authority to make the decision that we are not going 10 Q. Would it be closer to 1970 than 1965 that 10 to distribute any more copies of Technical Bulletin 11 it went out of print? 11 306? 12 A. 1 don't know, sir. 12 A. If he knew it was incorrect, he could 13 Q. Okay. Do you know why it went out of 13 make that decision, yes, sir. 14 print? 14 Q. Okay. And just so I'm clear, the main 15 A. Because we started to get information- 15 reason that it was not distributed or that it 16 1 mean a lot of the technical bulletins were revised 16 stopped being distributed was because of the 17 during that period of time. Some of those became 17 publicity that was being put out in the media 18 massive jobs. And then we started to write this 18 regarding PCBs? 19 one. When we started to look at this one, we 19 MR. DIMURO: Object to the form. You 20 realized that whoops, we were going to have to do a 20 can answer it. 21 lot of changes. 21 THE WITNESS: To the best of my 22 Q. When you say whoops, we had to do a lot 22 knowledge, that would be correct. 23 of changes, what do you mean by that? 23 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Are you aware of any 24 A. There was information coming to light on 24 other technical reason that it was not distributed 25 the Aroclor problem and so we had to do some 25 any longer? Page 106 Page 108 1 changing. 1 A. No, sir. 2 Q. And the company -- well, whose decision 2 Q. Okay. And the date of this memorandum, 3 was it to pull it from print or to take it out of 3 April 3, 1970, was during the time that the company 4 print? 4 was in the process of making a decision to withdraw 5 A. It was nobody's decision that was made. 5 PCB products from the market,correct? 6 They just printed up so many copies; and when we 6 A. That is correct. 7 distributed them all, then it was out of print. 7 Q. Just give me amoment. What was meant by 8 Q. 1 understand. But was there a conscious 8 for your information only, that phrase? Do you have 9 decision not to put it back on the copier? 9 an understanding of that? 10 A. No, not that 1 know of. We realized it 10 MR. DIMURO: In this document? 11 had to be revised. 11 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) In this document. It 12 Q. Right. 12 says -- there's a caption -- for your information 13 A. And so we decided we were not going to 13 only. Do you see that? 14 send out any more until we revised it. 14 A. Yes, 1 do. 15 Q. Okay. That's what I'm saying. Who was 15 Q. Do you know what Mr. Paton was referring 16 involved in that decision to decide that you weren't 16 to there? 17 going to send out any more? 17 A. He was just saying -- no, 1 don't know 18 A. 1 do not know, sir. 18 specifically what he's referring to, sir. 19 Q. Were you involved in that? 19 Q. Okay. Well, if you look at the 20 A. 1 probably was, but 1 cannot say for 20 recipients of this memorandum, is there any reason 21 sure. 21 to believe that the intendant recipient was only a 22 Q. Would it have been something decided at 22 specific -- or a specific group of people within 23 your level or above you? 23 Monsanto, to be kept from other departments or 24 A. It would probably be my level or below 24 anything like that? 25 me. 25 MR. DIMURO: Object to the form. You Waychoff Pages 105-108 WATER PCB-SD0000024265 Page 109 Page 111 1 can answer it, if you know. 1 A. Where we would develop substitutes for 2 THE WITNESS: 1 don't know why he said 2 the Aroclors for specific applications. 3 that. 3 Q. Okay. And those substitutes included 4 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Why don't you just take 4 some of the santicizer products and things like 5 a look at the recipients? There's a large list of 5 that? 6 them. 6 A. Yes, sir. 7 A. Those are all managers of sales in the 7 Q. And was the research and development 8 retail markets in Europe, Africa, Europe, Hong Kong, 8 department of Monsanto underway in those efforts to 9 Canada, Europe, and the United States. 9 come up with a replacement product? 10 Q. Okay. What I'm trying to find out is, 10 A. Yes, they were, sir. 11 the statement for your information only, did that 11 Q. And how were they faring? 12 mean that the recipients should not share this with 12 A. Pretty good. They came across several of 13 customers or as opposed to other people within 13 them. 14 Monsanto? 14 Q. And what were some of those replacement 15 MR. DIMURO: Object again to the form. 15 products? 16 You can answer it. 16 A. 1 can't recall specifically what products 17 THE WITNESS: 1 would say from reading 17 they developed; but if they were trying to make a 18 the memorandum he is saying hey, we're going 18 plastisol, they would come up with a different 19 to have solutions to this problem, just bear 19 formulation for the plastisol. 20 with us a little bit. 20 Q. Okay. Now, sir, at this time in April of 21 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) And is the reason - 21 1970, about five months or so before you wrote the 22 were these technical bulletins heavily sought after 22 letter in September 1970, had you made your mind up 23 by customers that would say why can't 1 get a copy 23 that Aroclor should be pulled from the market? 24 of it? Was there that kind of pressure going on? 24 A. Yes. We were convinced of that. 25 A. No. 1 think we just told the customers 25 Q. By April of 1970? Page 110 Page 112 1 that they were out of print at this time and going 1 A. Mr. Paton and 1 were convinced of that. 2 to be revised. 2 Q. That you should pull it from the market? 3 Q. And you were telling customers that they 3 A. Yes, sir. 4 were going to be revised? 4 Q. And you were convinced of that as early 5 A. Yes, sir. 5 as April of 1970? 6 Q. And in the first sentence underneath that 6 A. 1 believe that is correct, sir. 7 heading, it says that 306 must be drastically 7 Q. Okay. Now, he goes on to say that it 8 revised in the light of the letter on PCBs that we 8 would appear inconsistent from an image standpoint 9 have sent to Aroclor customers in the U.S. and plan 9 that at the time we are promising support to 10 to send to U.K. and Canadian customers. 10 scientists/agencies we publish a new bulletin 11 What letter is he referring to? 11 promoting PCBs. 12 A. 1 don't know, but did you show me a copy 12 What did he mean by that? 13 of a letter - 13 MR. DIMURO: Again, 1 object to the 14 Q. Idid. 14 form. 15 A. --previously? 15 THE WITNESS: 1 don't know what he 16 Q. 1 showed you a letter that you authored 16 meant by that. 17 in September of 1970. This is April of 1970. 17 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Well, he says -- and 1 18 Was there an earlier letter to customers 18 skipped over the parenthetical that he said in all 19 relating to the Aroclor products and problems 19 sincerity let me emphasize. 20 relating to it? 20 What did he mean by in all sincerity let 21 A. 1 don't know, sir. 21 me emphasize? Do you know? 22 Q. And he goes on to say as you know, we 22 MR. DIMURO: 1 object to the form. 23 have programs underway to solve the problems the PCB 23 THE WITNESS: 1 don't know what he 24 situation poses for our Aroclor business. 24 meant. 25 What programs is he referring to? 25 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Is it a fair reading Waychoff Pages 109-112 WATER PCB-SD0000024266 Page 113 Page 115 1 that he meant that Monsanto was sincerely working 1 (The record was read by the reporter.) 2 with the scientists in the various agencies to solve 2 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Sir, if you skip down to 3 the PCB problem? 3 the last sentence on that page, Mr. Paton says we 4 A. I don't know what he meant, sir. 4 plan to issue a much-condensed bulletin giving the 5 Q. Okay. Well, he goes on to say in the 5 physical properties of the various Aroclors without 6 sentence right after that that the lack of O/PL-306 6 reference to applications. 7 should not -- and he underlines the word not - 7 Why, sir, were the applications to be 8 inhibit your sales or your efforts. 8 removed from the technical bulletin? 9 Do you see where he says that? 9 A. I have no idea, sir. 10 A. Uh-huh. 10 Q. Would you be willing to speculate as to 11 Q. Sir, in your mind, did you support that 11 why the applications would be - 12 statement that Mr. Paton made? 12 MR. DIMURO: Objection. 13 MR. DIMURO: I object again. 13 MS. O'CONNOR: Objection. 14 MR. TAYLOR: I'll rephrase. 14 MR. DIMURO: I'm not going to have him 15 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Do you support that 15 speculate. 16 statement that the salesmen should not have their 16 MR. TAYLOR: Let me finish the 17 efforts inhibited at that time? 17 question, if I can; and then you can put your 18 A. Yes. I agree with that statement, only 18 objections on the record. 19 because we were developing replacement products and 19 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) The question is can 20 we wanted to keep the customer receptive to our 20 you -- are you willing to speculate as to why the 21 ideas. 21 references to applications were to be removed by - 22 Q. By saying that the lack of O/PL-306 22 removed in the replacement technical bulletin? 23 should not inhibit your sales efforts, Mr. Paton was 23 MR. DIMURO: I'm going to object to the 24 referring to the sales of Aroclors, correct? 24 form of that question. I advise the witness 25 A. That's correct. 25 not to speculate. If he has any Page 114 Page 116 1 Q. And isn't that inconsistent with the 1 recollection, he can answer. 2 position that you believed, that at the time that 2 THE WITNESS: I do not have any 3 the products should be pulled from the market? 3 recollection, sir. 4 A. We were developing replacement products 4 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Well, do you remember if 5 for them, sir. You know, if the customer developed 5 there was, in fact, a replacement technical bulletin 6 a use, we would come out with a replacement product, 6 issued? 7 say hey, use this instead of AroclorX, Y, Z. 7 A. I can't recall that, sir. 8 Q. But in the interim, you were still 8 Q. Did you reply in any way to this 9 telling the salesmen that they should not be 9 memorandum to Mr. Paton? 10 inhibited in the sale of their Aroclor products? 10 A. Not that I know of, sir. 11 MR. DIMURO: I'll object. That's not 11 Q. Do you remember discussing this 12 what he said. This is Cumming Paton's 12 memorandum with Mr. Paton? 13 letter. 13 A. I do not recall, sir. 14 MR. TAYLOR: I'm just asking him what 14 Q. Did you discuss this memorandum with 15 his understanding was. 15 anyone else within Monsanto? 16 THE WITNESS: I felt that we had to 16 A. I do not recall sir. 17 keep promoting our image with the customers. 17 Q. Do you remember seeing any kind of 18 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) And part of that image 18 correspondence or memoranda that were issued in 19 was to be able to supply them with products that 19 response by any of the people to Mr. Paton's 20 they needed including Aroclors? 20 memorandum? 21 A. At least let them do the research with 21 A. No, sir, I do not. 22 the Aroclor products. How far they would get 22 (A discussion ensued off the record.) 23 towards going commercial is another question. 23 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Sir, did you have any 24 MR. RADITZ: Can you read back that 24 involvement with AMSCO? 25 last response? 25 A. That was a distributor set up to handle Waych off Pages 113-116 WATER PCB-SD0000024267 Page 117 Page 119 1 small volumes, and I had very little involvement 1 distributorship situation? 2 with AMSCO. 2 A. A memorandum? 3 Q. Well, why don't you tell me what 3 Q. No. An agreement, written agreement. 4 involvement you did have with AMSCO? 4 A. I'm sure there was a written agreement; 5 A. I cannot recall that I really had any 5 but I do not recall seeing it, sir. 6 except to make sure they had our technical 6 Q. You had no involvement with the terms of 7 literature, and they then went from there to calling 7 that agreement? 8 on their own customers trying to promote the 8 A. No. That was Mr. Schalk and Mr. Wright 9 Monsanto product line. 9 primarily. 10 MS. O'CONNOR: I can't hear the 10 Q. Okay. Do you remember any name from 11 witness. He needs to move closer to the 11 anyone at AMSCO over the years that you dealt with? 12 phone, please. 12 A. No, I do not, sir. 13 MR. DIMURO: If it was any closer, it 13 Q. And when you would deal with them, would 14 would be in his lap, Carolyn. I could have 14 they come to Monsanto's offices? 15 him repeat -- you want him to repeat the 15 A. No. If I ever saw anybody from AMSCO, it 16 answer? 16 was while I was making a call in the area and the 17 MS. O'CONNOR: Yes, please. 17 salesman would say let's drop in and say hi to them. 18 THE WITNESS: I do not recall having 18 Q. Okay. Now I'm going to mark--I'm going 19 much contact with Amoco or AMSCO, whatever 19 to refer to what has previously been marked in the 20 the name of the place is, American Mineral 20 deposition of Mr. Orem as Exhibit No. 3, and it is 21 Spirits. 21 Aroclor Plasticizers Technical Bulletin 306. 22 We supplied themwith technical 22 If you can, review this document. Just 23 bulletins and they went and did their own 23 take a look at it and let me know when you're 24 thing with customers. 24 finished. 25 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Well, who at AMSCO did 25 Just for the record, it bears Bates stamp Page 118 Page 120 1 you deal with? 1 MAE 040881 on the cover page; and it goes through 2 A. I do not recall the name of anybody. 2 040934. 3 Q. How often would you have interaction with 3 MR. DIMURO: Do you have a specific 4 anyone at AMSCO in any given year? 4 question? 5 A. I can't recall when AMSCO was -- when 5 MR. TAYLOR: Yes. 6 they were appointed distributors for Monsanto 6 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Obviously you're not 7 products, but I would say it would just be just very 7 going to read the whole thing. I just wanted you to 8 slight contact with AMSCO. 8 get a feel for it. 9 Q. Was there anyone else within Monsanto 9 A. Okay. 10 that had more involvement with AMSCO than yourself? 10 Q. Do you recognize that document? 11 A. Jim Wright and Walter Schalk. 11 A. I think I do, yes, sir. 12 Q. Again? I'm sorry. Who was - 12 Q. Well, was this a document that was 13 MS. O'CONNOR: What was the second 13 produced during your tenure either as a technical 14 name? 14 consultant or as product manager at Monsanto? 15 MR. DIMURO: Walter Schalk. 15 A. I do not remember, sir. 16 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) And if I remember, 16 Q. Who put together the technical bulletin 17 Walter Schalk was a sales- 17 at Monsanto? 18 A. Manager. 18 A.

Was there some sort of an 23 together. 24 agreement between AMSCO and Monsanto that 24 Q. A hired consultant? 25 memorialized this distribution agreement, 25 A. Not hired. Just a member of Monsanto's Waych off Pages 117-120 WATER PCB-SD0000024268 Page 121 Page 123 1 advertising department. 1 Q. On Page 4 of the document which bears 2 Q. Okay. Now, what department would be 2 Bates stamp MAE 040885, in the middle under the 3 charged with the responsibility to put the technical 3 introduction paragraph -- when you get there, let me 4 bulletin together? 4 know. 5 A. That would be our advertising department. 5 A. Okay. 6 Q. In conjunction with whom? 6 Q. Okay. The paragraph beginning with this 7 A. In conjunction with the person in charge 7 bulletin describes, in the second sentence it says 8 of the product that they were writing the bulletin 8 examination of their physical properties, also given 9 on. 9 in considerable detail, may suggest scores of new 10 Q. So that would be you? 10 uses that would not be performed by any other known 11 A. Yes. If it was written during the time 1 11 material. 12 was product manager, yes. 12 Do you read that? 13 Q. That's my question. During your time as 13 MR. DIMURO: Could not be performed. 14 product manager, did you have involvement in the 14 MR. TAYLOR: I'm sorry. You're right. 15 production of this Technical Bulletin 306? 15 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Could not be performed 16 A. 1 don't recall the date of this manual; 16 by any other known material, do you see that? 17 and since 1 wrote many technical bulletins, 1 do not 17 A. Yes, sir. 18 recall whether 1 wrote this bulletin or not, sir. 18 Q. What is meant by that, could not be 19 Q. Okay. Maybe you can take a look and 19 performed by any other known material? 20 determine somehow when this document was produced. 20 A. They're just saying here -- you're saying 21 A. That's what 1 was looking for in here, 21 here that these things are versatile, they have 22 see if there was a date anyplace. 22 unique properties, and look at them and see if 23 Q. Okay. If you look--and, again, on the 23 they're suitable in your applications. 24 second to the last page towards the -- almost to the 24 Q. And from a technical point of view, was 25 bottom, very bottom right-hand corner. See if that 25 the technical bulletin produced to give the Page 122 Page 124 1 helps you out any. It looks to me like it says 1 customers ideas on possible uses and -- was it used 2 1/2/68. 2 to give customers ideas for other possible uses? 3 MS. O'CONNOR: 1 can't hear you. 3 MR. DIMURO: Are you talking about this 4 MR. TAYLOR: 1 said it looks to me that 4 bulletin? 5 it says 1/2/68. 5 MR. TAYLOR: This bulletin, 306. 6 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Do you see that? 6 THE WITNESS: 1 would say yes, it was 7 A. 1 see it, yes, sir. 7 produced in order to try to stimulate 8 Q. Does that help you any in determining 8 consideration of Aroclors and other uses. 9 when this particular bulletin was produced? 9 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) Okay. And 1 may have 10 A. It was probably in 1968, but 1 cannot 10 misunderstood your testimony earlier. 1 thought you 11 guarantee that. 11 said that the Aroclor plasticizers were not 12 Q. Okay. But in your experience in dealing 12 compatible with PVCs, polyvinyl chloride? 13 with the technical bulletins, is that date which I'm 13 A. No. 1 said they had limited 14 referring to consistent with where they would be 14 compatibility. They were considered secondary 15 placed on a technical bulletin? 15 plasticizers having to be used with a primary 16 A. 1 would think it would be on the front 16 plasticizer with PVC. 17 page, not the back page. 17 Q. Okay. Then explain to me on Page 5--if 18 Q. Okay. But irregardless, do you have any 18 you turn to page -- under compatibility. There's a 19 recollection of an involvement with this technical 19 heading, compatibility. 20 bulletin in its production or any revisions of it? 20 A. Uh-huh. 21 A. I'm sure 1 did; but 1 cannot recall it, 21 Q. And it says -- well, you can read it. Is 22 sir. 22 that consistent with your last answer, that it 23 Q. Okay. You can hold on to that. I've got 23 needed to be 1 believe a coplasticizer - 24 a couple of follow-up questions. 24 A. Used with aprimary plasticizer. 25 A. Okay. 25 Q. Primary? Waychoff Pages 121 -124 WATER PCB-SD0000024269 Page 125 Page 127 1 A. Yes, sir. 1 compatibility test. One of the most severe used - 2 Q. Is that consistent with this 2 and that may be the word several, but it looks like 3 compatibility table which identifies PVCs as a resin 3 severe used by the industry. 4 that the Aroclors are compatible with? And it 4 Can you describe to me what that test 5 doesn't mention there, as I see it, anything about a 5 is? 6 mixture or that has to be mixed with some other 6 A. Yes, sir. 7 plasticizer. Maybe you can correct me if I'm 7 Q. Well, first of all, tell me what is meant 8 wrong. 8 by no exudation. Is that gooeyness? 9 MR. DIMURO: You're asking him if what 9 A. Stickiness, yes, sir. 10 he just said is now inconsistent with what's 10 Q. Okay. Then if you can tell me-- 11 in this table? 11 A. Loop compatibility test is where you take 12 MR. TAYLOR: Yes. 12 a piece of PVC and you bend it over in a sharp angle 13 THE WITNESS: To understand the 13 and let it sit like that. When you open it up, 14 plasticizer business, you must understand 14 right where the crease is there is exudation where 15 that secondary plasticizers are compatible to 15 the plasticizer comes out. And that's just saying 16 vinyl to a limited degree. 16 that if you use up to 25 percent and you run that 17 Once you exceed their compatibility 17 test it will be compatible. 18 limit, then they will exude; and it must be 18 Q. And that's the loop just like turning it, 19 used with a primary plasticizer if you're 19 bending it over? 20 going to use higher concentrations of the 20 A. On itself, yes, sir. 21 secondary plasticizer. 21 Q. Got you. Okay. In the back of the 22 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) That's what I'm trying 22 bulletin -- and we've talked about this earlier and 23 to get at. According to this table, there are uses 23 I said I'd get to it -- they have a statement on 24 of Aroclors with PVCs where the Aroclor is the 24 toxicity and also safe handling. 25 primary plasticizer, correct? 25 MR. DIMURO: What page is that on? Page 126 Page 128 1 A. Yes, if you use a small amount of them 1 MR. TAYLOR: Page 50 of the bulletin 2 Q. Okay. 2 which is Bates stamped MAE 040931, and it 3 A. If you look over at the bottom of Page 3 goes on to the next page. 4 7- 4 MR. RADITZ: I'm sorry. I'm losing - 5 Q. Okay. That's where 1 was going to go 5 MR. TAYLOR: Okay. I'll speak up. 6 next. 6 Adam, I dropped my voice off. I'm referring 7 A. The bottom of the page there, that's 7 him to Page 50 of the Technical Bulletin 306 8 where it covers plasticizer compatibility. 8 which bears Bates stamp 040931. 9 Q. And it says about 25 percent? 9 MR. RADITZ: Bulletin 306? 10 A. Right. 10 MR. TAYLOR: That's right. 11 Q. Are compatible with -- as a primary 11 MR. RADITZ: Okay. 12 plasticizer with PVCs? 12 MR. TAYLOR: Okay? 13 MR. DIMURO: Where are you reading 13 MR. RADITZ: Thank you. 14 from? The bottom? 14 MR. TAYLOR: Sure. 15 MR. TAYLOR: No. I'm just asking a 15 Q.

Actually gotothepagebefore 15 catalog we published on plasticizers or what. 15 that, and it says guide to plasticizer performance 16 Q. Okay. Well, have you ever heard of the 16 in protective coatings. 17 term plasticizer blue book? 17 A. Okay. 18 A. Yes. Okay. Is this the blue book? 18 Q. And earlier you had said that a ceiling 19 Q. I'm asking you. Is this a plasticizer 19 tile -- 20 blue book? 20 MR. DIMURO: Well, it says for metal, 21 A. I'm looking for something that would 21 wood, fabric, paper. 22 identify it as a plasticizer blue book, but 1 cannot 22 MR. TAYLOR: Okay. 23 tell. 23 MR. DIMURO: Okay. 24 Q. Well, in any event, if you can, turn to 24 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) And that ceiling tile 25 the second page which is Bates stamped MAE 059240. 25 may be considered a protective coating; or a Waychoff Pages 137-140 WATER PCB-SD0000024273 Page 141 Page 143 1 plasticizer put on ceiling tile may be considered a 1 my notes and just take a two-minute break. 2 coating, correct? 2 (A recess was taken.) 3 A. No. It would be a formulation. With a 3 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) And, sir, in 4 plasticizer put on it, it could be considered a 4 consideration of all of the plasticizers, how would 5 protective coating. 5 you grade the Aroclor products as a fire retardant? 6 Q. That's what 1 meant. 6 A. Compared to what? 7 A. Yes, sir. 7 Q. Compared to - 8 Q. Now, if you go on to the next page, it 8 A. Other plasticizers? 9 says lift flap for chart. Before you lift the flap, 9 Q. Other plasticizers. 10 can you explain the instructions given below that? 10 MR. DIMURO: I'll object to the form. 11 And specifically it says when the same plasticizer 11 You can answer. 12 appears under two or more of the properties desired 12 MR. RADITZ: Same objection. 13 in the finishing coating - that plasticizer 13 THE WITNESS: 1 can answer? 14 definitely merits evaluation. 14 MR. DIMURO: If you can, sure. 15 Do you remember that type of instruction? 15 THE WITNESS: Yeah. Well, the Aroclors 16 A. I'm reading it again and saying yes, 16 compared to other plasticizers, some of the 17 okay, it sounds correct. 17 other plasticizers, you light a match to them 18 Q. Okay. Well, it says two or more of the 18 they'll burn. The Aroclors would not. 19 properties desired in the finishing coating. What 19 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) So it was a good fire 20 is significant about the fact that there may be two 20 retardant plasticizer? 21 desired properties in any given -- for example, say 21 A. Fire resistant or fire retardant, yes, 22 resin. What's the significance of the fact that 22 sir. 23 there was two desired applications? 23 Q. And the term punking, what does that mean 24 A. If you'll turn over to Page 397- 24 to you? 25 Q. Okay. 25 A. It doesn't mean a thing to me. Page 142 Page 144 1 A. -- perhaps 1 can give you an example. 1 Q. Okay. 2 Q. Great. 2 (A discussion ensued off the record.) 3 A. It says tensile strength, elongation, and 3 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) In the blue book at 4 adhesion at the top under the resin. Ifyougodown 4 Bates MAE 05932 -- no. 5 to PVC, you will see that Santicizer 160 is 5 MR. DIMURO: No. That can't be it. 6 considered in all three categories for that 6 MR. TAYLOR: That can't be. 7 performance. 7 MR. DIMURO: Does it end in 392? 8 Q. Okay. 1 see. I'm with you. So 8 MR. TAYLOR: Yes. It may end in 392 9 utilizing PVC, just as you gave me that example, for 9 I'm sure. I'll find it. Here it is. I'm 10 example under adhesion Aroclor is present, correct? 10 sorry. The reference is MAE 059382 and then 11 A. Aroclor is present, yes, sir. 11 059383. 12 Q. Okay. And if you go to the next page, 12 Q. (By Mr. Taylor) If you'd turn to 059383, 13 under hardness for PVC -- you kind of have to match 13 you'll see a box that has Aroclor plasticizers. 14 it up here, but go across - 14 That's 059383. You'll see there that it says that 15 A. Right. 15 the Aroclors are particularly effective in reducing 16 Q. Aroclor is mentioned there under 16 flameout time and the glow termed punking. That's 17 hardness, correct? 17 all. That's what 1 was referring to. 18 A. Yes, sir. 18 A. Yeah. 19 Q. Okay. So that's how you would match 19 Q. Does that mean anything to you? 20 up -- if you would find two or more, then that may 20 A. The term punking would be like if you 21 be a plasticizer that you would want to consider for 21 have a punk to light firecrackers when 1 was a kid. 22 that resin? 22 That's what it means to me. 23 A. Yes, sir. 23 MR. TAYLOR: 1 just wanted to know what 24 MR. TAYLOR: Okay. 1 understand. 1 24 your understanding of that was. 25 think that's all 1 have. Let me just check 25 That's all 1 have. Thanks.

Waychoff Pages 153-156 WATER PCB-SD0000024277 Page 157 Page 159 1 A. They would receive all technical 1 Q. Okay. Who would be faster? 2 bulletins on plasticizers, ma'am. 2 A. AMSCO. 3 Q. Okay. So you can only speak to all 3 Q. Okay. Why is that? 4 technical bulletins on plasticizers? 4 A. Because they stocked it locally. 5 A. That's correct,ma'am. 5 Q. Okay.

Hold on a second. Let me 19 Monsanto, correct? 20 get back on my computer here. You indicated that 20 A. Yes, ma'am. 21 you understand that Armstrong World Industries 21 Q. Have you ever seen one? 22 purchased a small amount of Aroclor 1254 from 22 A. No, ma'am. 23 American Mineral Spirits. 23 Q. What makes you think there is a written 24 Do you remember that testimony? 24 agreement? 25 A. Yes, ma'am. 25 A. That was Mr. J.D. Wright's Page 158 Page 160 1 Q. Okay. How is it that you came to know 1 responsibility. 2 that Armstrong purchased a small amount from AMSCO? 2 Q. Okay. But what makes you think there was 3 A. Because 1 looked at some records prior to 3 one? Because that was part of-- in other words, 4 leaving Monsanto and prior to making a call on 4 part of his job description was to ensure that there 5 American -- on Armstrong Cork, and 1 saw where they 5 would be a written agreement? 6 had sold small amounts to Armstrong Cork. 6 A. Yes, ma'am. 7 Q. Okay. Now, these records that you're 7 Q. Okay. Have you ever seen one of these 8 looking at, they would have been Monsanto records? 8 agreements before regardless if it was between AMSCO 9 A. Yes, ma'am. 9 and Monsanto? Have you ever seen a general 10 Q. Okay. And they would have reflected that 10 distribution agreement? 11 American Mineral Spirits sold to Armstrong? 11 A. No, 1 have not. 12 A. They were sales to Armstrong Cork of the 12 Q. Okay. Do you happen to know whether or 13 products here. Now, the source of the data, 1 don't 13 not these agreements were annual agreements or 14 know whether it came directly from Monsanto, 14 whether or not they were set for life? 15 American Mineral Spirits, or where it was. 15 A. 1 do not know, ma'am. 16 Q. Okay. So you don't know if the actual 16 Q. And 1 guess Mr. Wright would know that? 17 documentation you were looking at was an American 17 A. Yes, ma'am. 18 Mineral Spirits document or a Monsanto document, 18 Q. Where is Mr. Wright today? 19 correct? 19 A. 1 don't know. 1 haven't seen him in 27 20 A. That is correct. 20 years. 21 Q. Okay. Do you know why Armstrong would 21 Q. Okay. 22 purchase Aroclor 1254 from American Mineral Spirits 22 A. 27 years from now I'm going to ask all 23 Corporation as a distributor rather than going 23 these lawyers where in the heck they were on the 24 directly to Monsanto? 24 23rd of March, 1998. 25 A. Yes. Speed of delivery. 25 (A discussion ensued off the record.) Waychoff Pages 157-160 WATER PCB-SD0000024278 Page 161 1 Q. (By Ms. O'Connor) All right. Let's 2 see. One second. You indicated that you did not 3 know a contact person at AMSCO, correct? 4 A. That's correct. 5 Q. Okay. So therefore you never went to 6 Armstrong World Industries with any representative 7 from AMSCO within your company, correct? 8 A. 1 did not, ma'am. 9 Q. Do you have any idea whether or not AMSCO 10 as a distributor would in any way alter the product, 11 Monsanto's product, before distributing it to 12 Armstrong World Industries? 13 A. They should not alter it, no, ma'am. 14 Q. Okay. And why do you say they should 15 not? Is that part of the agreement? 16 A. Because they were selling a product by 17 the given name; and if they altered it, it would no 18 longer be the product. 19 Q. Okay. So, in other words, in order to 20 maintain the Aroclor 1254 name, AMSCO was not to 21 change the product? 22 A. That's correct. 23 Q. Was it also true that AMSCO was to 24 forward the technical bulletins to the customers? 25 A. They should present them to the Page 163 1 World Industries, information from Monsanto 2 regarding Aroclor 1254? 3 A. Today 1 saw a bulletin that had AMSCO's 4 name on it and it was Monsanto literature. 5 Q. Okay. Anything besides what you saw 6 today? 7 A. No, ma'am. 8 Q. I'm sorry. I'm losing you due to some 9 clicking going on on the phone here. 10 MR. DIMURO: The answer was no. 11 MS. O'CONNOR: Thank you. 12 Q.

Do you know whether or not Monsanto 18 provided forms for the purchase of Monsanto products 19 to its distributors? 20 A. 1 do not know, ma'am. 21 MS. O'CONNOR: Okay. 1 don't have any 22 other questions. Thank you. 23 MR. RADITZ: 1 just have one follow-up 24 question. 1 was just going to clarify one 25 thing in my mind. Page 162 Page 164 1 customers, yes, ma'am. 1 RECROSS-EXAMINATION 2 Q. Okay. Do you know whether or not that's 2 BY MR. RADITZ: 3 part of the agreement? 3 Q. Mr. Waychoff, prior to November of 1970 4 A. No, 1 do not, ma'am. 4 when you left Monsanto, did you ever see any 5 Q. Okay. Do you know if the distributor is 5 correspondence drafted by an employee of Monsanto 6 to provide any other form of information besides the 6 that was sent to a customer concerning the 7 technical bulletins to its customers on behalf of 7 withdrawal of PCB-containing-Aroclor products from 8 Monsanto? 8 the market? 9 A. No, 1 do not, ma'am. Listening to the 9 A. No. 10 question, 1 got a little confused on the question. 10 MR. RADITZ: Okay. 1 have nothing 11 Q. Okay. I'll do it again. That's okay. 11 further. 12 Do you know whether or not a distributor is supposed 12 MR. DIMURO: Okay. 13 to provide any written materials outside of 13 MR.

Just a letter or something like that to 20 21 the customer. 21 22 Q. Okay. Anything else? 22 23 A. That's all 1 can think of, ma'am. 23 24 Q. Okay.
