TO: Distribution Interoffice Communication FROM: DATE: SUBJ: T. G. Grumbles October 28, 1991 TSCA CONSULTANT TRAINING VISTA Attached is a preliminary agenda of items that we would ask Mark Scoville to cover in a one-day TSCA training and problem solving session. In general, I'd like to reach agreement on the agenda, execute a contract and confidentiality agreement with him, and then provide details on several specific issues, such as paraffin splits for his research prior to the meeting. I spoke with Mark on Friday and he is currently working the alkyl range issue with another client and very familiar with the general issue as well as our alkyl benzene descriptions since he was the agency contact when we were negotiating these. He works for $150.00 an hour. As to dates, I would propose 11/22, 12/3, 12/5 or 12/6 as dates to do It in Austin. We would include a broad group of people from R&D and possibly other locations in the meeting. Please give your thoughts ASAP so we can proceed to schedule the meeting. T. G.
