NEW YORK OFFICE tT(st. 7c + ^ .r PLAINTIFFS EXHIBIT AB-210 Messrs. N.G. Belury P.H. Clapp, Jr. G.N. Decker R.A. Frick P.W. Norris W.D. Raddatz /G.L. Romine M.B. Terry ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL COMMITTEE The Environmental Control Committee has succeeded the Air Pollution Committee which was established in 1967. The Environmental Control Committee will report to me, and is composed of the following members: Eads Johnson, Jr., Chairman C.H. Bocherding, Jr. J.P. Carroll J.J. Sheffield A.M. Unger This is an advisory committee whose purpose is to keep Bill Kelly and me informed on external pressures which may affect the company's capacity to function profitably, in harmony with our neighbors, and to recommend a course of action whenever necessary to avoid either legal restraints or public condemnation. Of primary interest at the time the committee was orginally formed was air pollution. This is, of course, one of our most troublesome problems and will remain so in the foreseeable future. Air pollution includes discharge into the atmosphere of smoke, dust, gases, particulate matter, and odors. Also, there is water pollution, noise, and even traffic pollution. Any or all of these, whether subject to legal codes or not, can constitute a nuisance in the surrounding community to the extent of breeding ill-will among our neighbors and providing political leverage for public officials unsympathetic to business in general or Abex in particular. Either kind of trouble spells long range expense. SPNY 006038
