Dear Mr. Logwinuk:
We have reviewed the June 21, 1968 licensing agreement between Foster Wheeler Corporation and Coastal States Petrochemical Company. We have made several changes in this agreement and are sending to you a revised copy Incorporating these changes. We are as anxious as you are to finalize this agreement and would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible regarding these revisions.
Yours very truly,

At the present time a licensing agreement is being negotiated with Foster-Wheeler for rights to license our isobutane cracking technology. Although the isobutane cracking technology differs greatly from the P-2 Process technology they both convert paraffins to olefins and both are used to manufacture propylene.
I became aware of the state of the license agreement through
Foster-Wheeler at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers
Convention in Los Angeles last week. I am concerned that the
licensing agreement'b'e written-so that the grant back provisions
and the technology definition be such that there can be no
cross-over between isobutane cracking and P-2. We do not have
the right to commit TRW to a situation where Foster-Wheeler
has some rights to a portion of the P-2 Process. I recommend
that we take all measures possible to eliminate the chance of
such a situation arising.
N
To this end, I request that you clear with Mr. Brown the parti cipation by either you or myself in any negotiations in the future concerning this licensing agreement.
