Now that the job has been more thoroughly studied, we have decided that it would be more ad vantageous for Stone and Webster to handle all phases of this work (engineering, purchasing, and construction) in view of the similarity of this job with certain phases of the No. 4 Ethyl Chloride Plant. in particular, most of the pressure vessels required for the No. 3 plant revision are exact dupli cates (with possible exception of nozzle orientation) of vessels required for the No. 4 plant. In order to expedite this project to take advantage of the early availability of the light ends stream, approval is being given to place duplicate orders wi th the successful bidder on the corresponding vessel in the No. 4 plant* The placement of orders should not be held up pending the study of nozzle orientation* We are attaching to- this letter specifications for the major items of equipment (towers, drums, exchangers, and pumps) which are now known to be required* Subsequent investi gation may indicate that additional items are required, so the list should not be considered as fixed. Specifications on piping, instruments, etc* have not been handled at the time of this writing, but will be forwarded later* It is possible that the piping revisions could be made in the field to dispense with piping detail drawings.

Box 341 Eaton Rouge 1, Louisiana ----- SECOND EXPANSION PROGRAM Dear Mr. Schaefer: This will acknowledge your letter of November 11th regarding the purchasing of equipment and materials for the seventh Tetraethyl Lead Manufacturing Building and related facilities. We understood that j^o'u desire to avoid delay by having us proceed with the purche ses until such time as de cision is reached on the selection cf a contractor to perform the necessary engineering, procurement and construction work, which decision, at the time of the discussions, you knew would not be reached prior to November 16th. Your understanding cf the agreements reached between Mr. E. B. Turner and Mr. Harry Houghton is essentially correct except as indicated in the following which refers to the cor respondingly designated subparagraphs of your letter: (a) Correct. However, the following should be added, which was part of the understanding: "..o until the contractor to perform the necessary engineering, procurement and con struction work has been selected but not later than December 10, 1948." (b) Correct. (c) Correct. (d) Correct, except that we have changed the designa tion for this work from J. 0. 8027-1 to J. 0o8027-K ^-07424 Mr* John H. Schaefer C. November 22,19*+R (e) One of the purposes of giving the main job order number 8027 a designating letter (now K) was to be able to segregate time of personnel devoted to this work and any expenses from those to be charged to the .job order number suffixes A to H. Therefore, v/e suggest that this subparagraph read as follows; M(e) Inasmuch as purchases for the Second Expansion Program will be made over a limited period and will be accomplished by using the available local personnel of uStone Webster Engineering Corporation, the time spent on such purchasing and any expenses incurred will be charged to J.Oo 802/-Ke However, Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation will not charge any fee for such purchasing work.." (f) This is no longer required since the fact that wu 'will not make any fee charge is covered in the suggested new subparagraph (e) i'ou will note that the above does not change the prin ciple of the -understandings but primarily concerns the proper de signation of the purchasing work which is under way. If you are in accord with these suggested changes, we shall be glad to re ceive an amended letter for our acceptance;, Yours very truly, Karl Flnsterbusch Vice President KFjAAR cc:NYB BosB Pro.Div.:NY,, FAS(2) HSH lx Bos E--07425 AFE FILE Stone 6 Webster Engineering Corporation 90 Broad Street.

ETHYL CHLORIDE SUPPLEMENTARY AGREEMENTS Dear Mr. Schaefers During my recent trip to Baton Rouge, I outlined a situation which has arisen in connection with our affiliate. E.B. Badger & Sons Co., in reference to the design and construction of plants to produce ethyl chloride. Our original Supplementary Agreement dated July 29, 1940, in connection with our construction of your ELA Plant No. 2, has ex pired. The Supplementary Agreement dated August 29, 1944 was made at the time we contracted to design and supervise the construction of the Ethyl Chloride Plant at Baton Rouge designated as your CP Project. This agreement will continue to be effective for a period of a little more than one year and although Badger are not &owned or controlled by our Corporation, they are wholly owned by our parent corporation, Stone Webster, Inc., and we consider it applies to their activities. In any event we would construe our obligation to you in the broader sense of professional ethics. The August 29, 1944 agreement provides, among other things, that we, and Badger by inference, agree not to design or construct plants for the production of ethyl chloride for a period of five years from the date of the agreement without your full knowledge and approval. The Supplemental Agreement made October 1, 1947, in con nection with your present expansion program stipulates that we will not use in the design or construction of any ethyl chloride or ethylene dichloride facilities, any "know-how" acquired from you except with your full knowledge and consent. It has developed that Badger have received inquiries for their services to design and construct ethyl chloride and ethylene dichloride facilities. They do not have any experience on this work but it has been indicated that possibly Standard Oil Development Company would make certain basic information available to them so that they thr''- rlU- F-07443 Hr. J. H. Schaefer 2. July 22, 19*48 would be in a position to render the desired services. We would not be called upon and would not make available to Badger any of your "know how" in the event any of this work were to go forward. On this basis, we understand that you would not have any objection to Badger undertaking the design or construction of these facilities and we would appreciate receiving your confirmation to this effect for our records.

As brought to your attention on my last visit to Baton Rouge, du Pont have asked our affiliate, E. B. Badger & Sons Co., to ascertain if any companies would be interested in installing plants to produce electrolytic sodium, in which event du Pont would furnish the basic designs and "know how" for Badger to carry out the detail design and construction work that might result. We consider that our Supplemental Agreement with you also ap plies to Badger but understand that under the circumstances, provided we did not release any of your information to Badger, you would not object to their undertaking design and construction work on electrolytic sodium facilities. We would appreciate your confirming this understanding. Yours very truly, Karl Finsterbusch Vice President* KF:HW CC: NYB BB ELAC HEB Supplementary Files (N. Y. & Bost.) F--07445 SAFf- c!LE
