Have you ever done 4 boards com m only referred to as hot tops, 5 anything outside of the financial side or 5 correct? 6 treasury side? 6 A. They started w ork on developing 7 A. In 1 9 8 0 ,1 took over all the 7 those proj-, projects, yes. 8 corporate functions, like secretarial, things 8 Q. One of those boards that contained 9 like that. So my background or my experience 9 asbestos w as called Profax, and that w as 10 has been in financial w ith som e adm inistrative 10 available fo r com m ercial sale in 1965, co rrect? 11 functions. 11 A. Correct. 12 Q. Okay. To this day, could you say 12 Q. There was another variation o f that 13 th at your entire history at Foseco has been 13 board called Proflex w hich w e n t available 14 financial and administrative? 14 co m m ercia lly in 1969, right? 15 A. Yes. 15 A. Correct. 16 Q. Okay. Have you ever had any 16 Q. Okay. They were essentially the 17 responsibilities fo r health and safety? 17 sam e product but with ju st som e different 18 A.

W hen w e first developed the product 6 fo r co m m ercial sale in 1965, it's my 3 standard recipes. 4 Q. G e n era lly sp ea kin g -- and I 've 5 looked over your interrogatory answers. 6 Generally speaking, is it fair to say that the 7 understanding th e percent o f asbestos in w as 7 m ajority or the, the m ain bulk of the hot tops 8 1.75 percent, and it w a s a m o site a sb e sto s in 8 sold by Foseco contained -- over the years 9 1965. 9 contained approxim ately 4 percent am osite 10 Q. So in 1965, the insulating board hot 10 asbestos and up to 1 percent chrysotile 11 tops, w e'll ju s t call th em h o t tops, w e re ab o ut 11 asb e sto s? 12 1 percent asbestos. W hen did they - w hen did 12 MR. INABINET: Objection to form. 13 that percentage change? 13 BY MR. PANATIER: 14 A. It, it changed -- I'm not sure of 14 Q. A ctually, le t m e rep h rase it. 15 the dates. I know that it w as shortly after 15 Is it fair to say that over the 16 1965. So I'm not sure o f the, of th e date. 16 years that Foseco w a s selling these boards from 17 And then it did increase to w hat you 17 '65 - sh o rtly a fte r '65 until asb esto s w a s 18 asked me. It did increase to 4 percent, w hich 18 rem oved, the m ajority o f those boards that w ere 19 w as - it could have contained 4 percent 19 sold contained either 4 percent am osite o r 3 20 am osite, or it could have contained 3 percent 20 percent am osite and up to 1 percent chrysotile? 21 am osite and 1 percent chrysotile. 21 MR. INABINET: Excuse me, Chris. 22 Q. Okay. So we'll get this straight 22 W e're taking about Profax? 23 then. So im m ediately after Foseco started 23 MR. PANATIER: Uh-huh. 24 selling hot tops, they w ere around 1 percent 24 MR. INABINET: Okay. 25 asbestos? 25 TH E W ITNESS: It w as 4 percent until 1 A. 1.75. Page 15 1 w e started th e asbestos-free, and then it Page 17 2 Q. Okay. 1.75 asbestos. 2 reduced from 4 percent down to 0 at the 3 Shortly after that, they increased 3 end. So up until - from '66 onwards, if 4 the am ount o f asbestos; is that right? 4 you like, until the asbestos-free program 5 A. Correct. 5 kicked in, it w as 4 percent. But then it 6 Q. And they increased it to 6 gradually cam e dow n in, in increm ents. 7 approxim ately 4 percent am osite asbestos or 3 7 BY MR. PANATIER: 8 percent am osite asbestos and up to 1 percent 8 Q. W hen was the earliest time that 9 chrysotile asbestos; is that fair? 9 Foseco had a viable asbestos-free substitute 10 A. That's correct. 10 fo r asbestos-containing Profax? 11 Q. All right. Are those percentages 11 A. It w as different by account. The - 12 you just gave me the ones that remained 12 w e had som e, so m e one o r tw o products w hich w e 13 basically co nsistent until asbesto s w a s rem oved 13 w ent asb esto s-free early, but it w as o nly fo r 14 from the product? 14 specific applications. But the first big 15 A. It rem ained consistent, but it 15 breakthrough for a m ajor account w as in 1973. 16 didn't go from 4 percent down to 0. W e got 16 Q. W ho was that? 17 som e recipes and products w e could ch an ge 17 A. It w as Arm co Middletown. 18 fairly, fairly quickly. But som e w e tried to 18 Q. And when you say there was a 19 reduce th e am o u n t o f asbestos. So it d id n 't go 19 breakthrough, w hat w as that? 20 from 4 to 0. It went from 4, to make an 20 A. The, the practice that Arm co 21 exam ple, to 2 to 0. 21 M iddletow n did is they let their ingot m olds 22 Q. Okay. There were various different 22 cool down to am bient tem peratures, w hich w as a 23 dim ensions and recipes for different 23 different practice than other mills. And so 24 applications, right, for different custom ers? 24 w hat w e could do is we developed a product 25 A. There was different specifications 25 w hich contained paper, w hich w e could put in HG LITIGATION SERVICES HGLITIGAT10N.COM 5 (Pages 14 to 17) ANTHONY MONEY Page 18 Page 20 1 those ingot molds, and it would work. 1 A. Sorry. Can you repeat the question 2 But if and when we tried at other 2 again? 3 accounts, because they didn't let the molds 3 Q. Sure. Does Foseco agree that all 4 cool down to am bient tem perature, they were 4 form s of asbestos contain m esotheliom a? 5 hot, it burned the, the product. 5 MR.

That's correct. 10 BY MR. PANATIER: 11 Q. Okay. So how much of Foseco's total 11 Q. And does Foseco acknow ledge that all 12 business in term s o f percenta ge revenue, if you 12 com m ercial form s o f asbestos, chrysotile, 13 w an t to do it o r so m e o th e r w ay, w ere th ese 13 am osite, and crocidolite, as o f today, they 14 asbestos products? 14 adm it that ail form s cause m esotheliom a? 15 A. I, I d o n 't know. 15 A. That's the understanding today, 16 Q. W as it a big part o f Foseco's 16 correct. 17 business? W as it a sm all part? 17 Q. Okay. Does Foseco acknow ledge that 18 A. Initially it w as a sm all part, but 18 there is no known safe level o f exposure to 19 it grew as we, as w e w ent through the '60s. 19 asbestos? 20 Q. All right. And by 19 - let's say 20 A. I, I ca n 't a n sw e r th at. 21 by 1975, can you characterize for the jury 21 Q. Is there som eone a t Foseco w ho is 22 about how much of Foseco's business w as m ade up 22 better suited to answ er th at question? 23 through the sale o f these asbestos hot tops? 23 A.

Well, that's a different question, 11 you don't have an a n sw e r to th a t qu estio n as to 12 because you're saying asbestos containing and 12 w h eth e r o r not th ere's a kno w n sa fe level o f 13 you m entioned '75, and w e had a lot o f accounts 13 exposure to asbestos; is th a t fair? 14 converted over to asbestos-free in '75.

Did Foseco understand that 21 asbestosis could be a fatal disease? 22 A. I didn't -- I'm not sure how to 20 d o w e h a n d le it. 21 And so we got letters back from the 22 com panies saying that there has been som e 23 answer that question. I honestly don't know. 23 reports linking blue to cancer, but the -- but 24 Q. Okay. Do you agree that from day 24 not the brown, not the, not the w hite w as the 25 one Foseco had an understanding that asbestosis 25 im pression or understanding that Foseco had at 1 X was a preventable disease? Page 39 1 the time. Page 41 2 A. Yes, if -- w hen it w as discussed, it 2 And so when they, they found that 3 w as discussed that there is a potential 3 out, w e said w e should look at a replacement. 4 asbestosis hazard if it w asn't bound correctly 4 And that's w hen in '6- -- '64 they started 5 in the pro duct o r w a sn 't bound. A n d I d o n 't 5 getting am osite and replacing that -- replacing 6 know how, I don't know how to answ er your 6 the blue with, with the brown. 7 question technically. 7 Q. Did Foseco ask the am osite raw 8 Q.

Yes. 11 could cause the d isease m esotheliom a, co rrect? 11 Q. Okay. So - and w hat did they tell 12 A. In, in the early developm ent, there 12 you? 13 w as an understanding th at e xp o su re to the 13 A. That it w as not a clear answer. 14 crocidolite, blue asbestos, was getting 14 There w as - they w ere not -- they w ere not 15 publicity that it had been or could be 15 saying there w as any, any direct link at all. 16 associated with, with m esotheliom a or, or 16 They were, they w ere saying there w as no 17 cancer at th e tim e - 17 evidence to show that, w hich -- 18 Q. Okay. 18 Q. W as it surprising to Foseco that the 19 A. - if not handled correctly. 19 supplier o f the am osite said our stuff is okay? 20 Q. Foseco understood that crocidolite 20 A. I'm not saying it's okay. I thought 21 could cause m esotheliom a as o f '65, correct? 21 you were asking me about lung cancer. 22 A. Correct. 22 Q. Any type of lung disease. Okay? 23 Q. Crocidolite was actually a fiber 23 A. W ell, let me answ er it this way. 24 that Foseco had been using in the precom m ercial 24 The, the im pression Foseco had at the time, 25 hot tops it w as making, right? 25 that if not handled correctly, there was a HG LITIGATION SERVICES HGLITlGATION.COM 11 (Pages 38 to 41) ANTHONY MONEY Page 42 Page 44 1 potential for lung cancer using the blue. But 1 disintegrates into ju st dust? 2 there w as a potential problem using the brown, 2 A . You m ean in end use? 3 but it w as asbestosis rather than cancer. 3 Q. In end use. 4 That's the impression that they had at the 4 A. In end use, it, it's used and then 5 time. 5 it, it d ro ps aw ay. But d u st is not a w ord I'd 6 Q. All right. So let's go forw ard from 6 use. There's, there's som e sintered products. 7 there. So Foseco moves to brown asbestos from 7 There's som e -- I don't know how to best to 8 blue, right? 8 d escrib e it. But d u st w ould not be, not be one 9 A. Yes. 9 of them. 10 Q.

But the, the i 15 is Foseco m oves to brow n a sbesto s, and Foseco 15 dust is one thing I'm a bit w orried about 16 u nderstands a t th at point it's u n clea r w h eth e r 16 b ecau se -- in answ ering your question is ; 17 o r not am osite is going to be im plicated in 17 because w e did not just supply hot tops, 18 lung disease. 18 boards, when w e w ere doing this. 19 Is that fair? 19 W e also supplied a pow der called 20 A. It -- w hat w e did is when w e started 20 ferric w hich w ent on top of the steel in the 21 m aking the products, we, w e w ere very proactive 21 ingot m old. So when you're talking about dust, 22 in looking to see w hat potential problem s w ere 22 if there w as -- w hatever was left at the end, 23 and how do w e handle the brown. I m entioned 23 it w as a com bination of these sintered parts of 24 earlier we went to the suppliers to ask for 24 the board, plus any rem ains of the, the 25 their inform ation that they had. 25 exotherm ic powder w e put on top. j Page 43 1 W e also got the Industrial 1 Q.

I think they took that as, as 12 got four days later in 1964, April o f 1964, to 13 another indication th at there w as potential 13 sum m arize, it reaffirm s that there is an 14 problem s handling asbestos if not handled 14 asbestosis hazard w ith aii fibers, correct? 15 correctly. But the, the consensus they got 15 A. Correct. 16 from th is Is th a t th e re is a p o tentially higher 16 Q. It says that there have been reports 17 risk using blue than the other. And that's one 17 o f m esotheliom a in th e United States, in the 18 o f th e reasons th at because o f com m ents like 18 U.K., and in South Africa with relation to blue 19 this that they decided we, w e should switch 19 and w hite chrysotile asbestos, correct? 20 over to am osite from the blue. 20 A. It - I know it says that for blue. 21 Q. So sort o f in ju st regular people 21 I'm not sure w hether all three it says 22 term s, there w as an understanding that there 22 chrysotile asb esto s b ut it, it does. 23 w as a risk from all o f the fibers but th at blue 23 Q. It specifies - to be clear, it 24 probably had the highest risk. Is that fair? 24 specifies the United States ~ or actually, 25 A. It's, it's -- that, th at w as the 25 "Cases have been claim ed in the United States Page 67 Page 69 1 consensus from these letters, that's correct. 1 and Canada associated with exposure to 2 Q.

W ell, there would be concern. And 14 So w e could stop there. W hat, what 14 as always, you, you make decisions on knowledge 15 this guy at least is saying is w e shouldn't 15 available a t th e tim e. A nd I th in k th a t Foseco 16 really be co ncerned because th ese new cancers 16 did a diligent effort in trying to find out 17 w e're talking about, they don't affect that 17 w h at w as asbestos, w h at are th e different 18 m any people, right? 18 types, and w hat w ere the potential hazards. 19 MR. KADISH: I object to the 19 And this w as ju st another piece in there. 20 sum m arization. I think it speaks for 20 Q. Right. 21 itself. 21 A. But I'm telling you the thing that 22 MR. PANATIER: He can agree or 22 came from this is there was potential more 23 disagree w ith it. 23 danger from using the blue. So they started 24 THE W ITNESS: That's w hat it says, 24 working very quickly on using the brown. 25 yeah. 25 Q. W hat they knew about brown and then 18 (Pages 66 to 69) HG LITIGATION SERVICES HGLITIGATION.COM ANTHONY MONEY Page 70 Page 72 1 subsequently white, when they added w hite to 1 please, to page -- actually, to the next page, 2 it, w as th e y knew brown w as an asbestosis 2 the very next page. It ju st says this is a 3 hazard already and they knew that white w as 3 m onthly report from April of 1965 from the 4 im plicated in m esotheliom a already, correct? 4 technical division, right? 5 A. That's w hat it shows on, on this 5 A. It does. 6 report. 6 Q. Okay. And then there's -- 7 Q. A nd w hen Foseco g ot it, they read 7 basically, when they did these reports, they 8 the report, right? 8 w ent through various different issues that they 9 A. Yes. 9 w e re having o f a technical nature; is that 10 Q. They didn't ignore this, did they? 10 fair? 11 A. No, no. 11 A. Correct. 12 Q. Okay. You can set th a t aside, sir. 12 Q. All right. If you'll turn, please, 13 A. Both of them ? 13 to p ag e 15, th ere's a section there called 14 Q. Yes, sir. 14 "D evelopm ent Foseco (FS) Limited silica and 15 N e xt is Exhibit 7. 15 asbestos-free Profax." 16 (M oney Deposition Exhibit No. 7 16 Do you see that? 17 w as m arked for identification.) 17 A. Yes. 18 MR. INABINET: I'm assum ing you have 18 Q. The second paragraph there says, 19 provisions highlighted or -- 19 "Two sam ples o f m ineral wool have been 20 M R. PANATTER: I do.

Yes. 10 So I have a few follow-up questions. 11 Q. Okay. And then I'll point up to the 11 First, th is is 1965, so this is the year that 12 right page. 12 Foseco started selling asbestos hot tops 13 A. That's fine. 13 com m ercially, correct? 14 Q.

It is true that the only draw back 3 Q. So it had nothing to do with 3 cited by the technical group here is that 4 potential health hazards? 4 fiberglass costs m ore than asbestos, correct? 5 A. It, it could have. But this, this 5 A. That's w hat it says here, but w e 6 is just the technical report associated with 6 tried both o f them and w e could not g et them to 7 that.

W ell, this is a report about health 19 So we're talking about the end 20 hazards having to do with tw o ingredients, 20 users, not the folks m anufacturing Profax 10, 21 right? 21 correct? 22 A. All I'm telling you, all research 22 A. That's correct. 23 and developm ent reports had to be marked 23 Q. They m entioned silicosis. But at 24 strictly confidential. T h at w as the policy 24 the end of that paragraph, it says, "More 25 that the group had. 25 recently, further objections have been received Page 79 Page 81 1 Q. Could a com petitor ever buy one of 2 your hot tops and pretty easily find out that 1 regarding a possible asbestosis hazard and its 2 associated danger o f cancer o f the respirator/ 3 it had asbestos and silica in it? 3 tract." 4 A. They, they - w e w ould not sell them 4 Now, at this time, a little bit more 5 a board. But if they got a board, they could 5 than a year earlier, Foseco had already been 6 do w hatever analytical w ork they knew about. 6 m ade aw are o f th e potential cancer hazard in 7 Q. And, sir, you certainly know that 7 addition to asbestosis, correct? 8 they could have easily determ ined, to the 8 A. That's correct. 9 extent they got one of your boards, that it had 9 Q. The next highlight says, "The 10 silica and asbesto s in it. 10 inform ation gained has been used to illustrate 11 A. Oh, yes. 11 the possible risk o f pulm onary disorders 12 Q. They could have determ ined exactly 12 accom panying the m anufacture and use o f Profax 13 how m uch as w ell, right? 13 10 and a basis fo r considering w ays o f reducing .14 A.

Linder "Synopsis," it 15 Now, pulmonary disorders means 16 addresses both silica and asbestos, but we're 16 breathing o r lungs generally, right? 17 going to focus on asbestos. 17 A. Okay. 18 It says, "The m echanism s causing 18 Q. Do you agree with that? 19 these diseases are discussed. The nature and 19 A. Yes. 20 exten t o f th e hazards associated w ith Profax 10 20 Q. And, again, this man brings up not 21 are considered and it is concluded that the 21 just the m anufacture, but also the use of 22 m anufacture and use o f this m aterial are not 22 Foseco's hot tops, true? 23 entirely w ithout risk. Means o f obviating 23 A. Correct. 24 these hazards are recomm ended." 24 Q. There's a long section on silicosis 25 So what he says at the very -- on 25 we're not going to address. HG LITIGATION SERVICES HGLmGATION.COM 21 (Pages 78 to 81) ANTHONY MONEY Page 82 Page 84 1 And then if you'll please turn to 1 and brown are the m ost dangerous form s of 2 page 7, sir, there's the heading "Asbestosis." 2 asbestos, correct? 3 A. Yes. 3 A. That's what he says. 4 Q. It says, "Description o f the 4 Q. He says chrysotile and other form s 5 disease. Exposure to asbestos dust produced a 5 o f asbestos are slightly less harm ful, correct? 6 type o f lung fibrosis w hich is diffuse, unlike 6 A. Correct. 7 the nodular fibrosis caused by silica. 7 Q. That m eans they're still harmful, 8 Affected lung tissue contains asbestos bodies 8 correct? 9 capable o f identification in m icroscopic 9 A. Correct. 10 sections o f lung tissue." 10 Q. All right. So all three o f the 11 So he's basically defining 11 types of asbestos that Foseco had, had used, 12 asbestosis as a type o f fibrosis in the lung, 12 w as using, w ould use in th e future have been 13 tru e? 13 identified as harm ful by this m an a t Foseco, 14 A. Correct. 14 correct? 15 Q. AH right. If you go to th e next 15 MR.

Yes. 21 as you have a respirator and can breathe clean 22 Q. Okay. Now, this is the year that 22 air, right? 23 Foseco has decided to sell its asbestos- 23 MR.

PANATIER: 2 asbestos, correct? 2 Q. So maybe this guy thought blue 3 A. Correct. 3 asbestos was more dangerous than brown asbestos 4 Q. And this Foseco em ployee has 4 and that's w hy he recom m ended brown. Is that 5 identified am osite, along with crocidolite, as 5 what you're saying? 6 the most dangerous grades of asbestos, true? 6 MR. KADISH: Objection; speculation. 7 A. T h a t's w h at he says. But in his, in 7 THE W ITNESS: I, I, I can't - I 8 his conclusion or his summary, he says blue 8 don't know w hat his thoughts w ere writing 9 asbestos m ust be im mediately eliminated from 10 the form u lation o f Profax 10; am osite asbestos 9 the report. 10 BY MR. PANATIER: 11 is a perfectly satisfactory substitute. 11 Q. Okay. As o f this date, did Foseco 12 Q. Even though it's ju st as dangerous 12 place a w arning label on its hot top s th a t says 13 and crocidolite? 13 this hot top contains the m ost d an g ero u s form 14 A. W ell, he, he, he doesn't say it's 15 just as. He says they are the m ost dangerous, 14 or one of the two m ost dangerous form s of 15 asbestos? 16 which is a bit confusing to me reading this. 17 But he says that, but his recom m endation is 18 substitute blue for - - 1 mean substitute brown 19 for blue, which w e'd already done months 20 earlier. 21 Q. Okay. So to be very dear, the same 22 guy in th e sam e report says on the one hand we 23 can substitute brown asbestos for blue, right? 24 A. Correct. 25 Q. And on the other hand, he says blue 16 A. No, he did not. But he did notify 17 the steel m ills o f every raw m aterial in the 18 product. A nd w e're dealing w ith sophisticated 19 com panies, the steel mills. 20 Q. I'm going to object to 21 nonresponsive, but I w ill address that. 22 Sir, as of 1965, did Foseco tell the 23 steel mills w hat they knew about other their 24 own product, w hat Foseco knew, that it 25 contained either the m ost or the second m ost 22 (Pages 82 to 85) HG LITIGATION SERVICES HGLITIGATION.COM ANTHONY MONEY Page 86 Page 88 1 dangerous type o f asbestos in its product? 1 A. No. 2 A. It told th e steel m ills th at it had 2 Q. Only in Profax 10? 3 asbestos in th e product. 3 A. No. 4 Q. Did it say th a t in o u r opinion, in 4 Q. They're not using it? 5 Foseco's opinion, our product contains one of 5 A. No. 6 the two m ost dangerous types of asbestos? 6 Q. Okay. He -- is he ju st verifying 7 A. I found no docum entation that says 7 th a t am o site is w h a t th ey should be using in 8 anything like that, no. 8 his opinion? 9 Q. The next section says, "Mechanism of 9 A. He's, he's - this is a report, not 10 Asbestosis." "It w as form erly thought that the 10 ju st for Foseco, Inc. This is a report 11 dam aging effect o f asbestos on the lungs was 11 g en erated fo r th e Foseco co m panies. A nd w h at 12 purely m echanical, the sharp ends of the fibers 12 he's saying is that there's a potentially 13 puncturing adjacent tissues. However, this 13 higher risk using blue. And he's not 14 view is in disagreem ent w ith the fact that 14 recom m ending.

T h is ca m e o u t in A ugust. And 17 And the reason I highlighted that, I 17 w e'd alread y sw itched from blue to brow n in, in 18 w anted to ask you about is -- 18 April. 19 A. I'm sorry. I've been trying to find 19 Q. So in August he's saying w e should 20 that on the page. 20 switch from blue to brown. But they had 21 Q. Oh, you know w hat? Yeah, it's right 21 already done it? 22 there. It's g o t a box around it, a highlighted 22 A. W e'd a lread y done it. 23 box around it. It's right u nder "M echanism of 23 Q. Okay.

The U.S. had already done it? 2 Q. Okay. W hat he's saying is that it 2 A. W e'u already done it. 3 m ay not just be how the fiber is shaped that 3 Q. Had everybody already done it? 4 causes disease because other m aterials with a 4 A. I don't know , but I d on't believe 5 sim ilar shape aren't im plicated in dam aging 5 so. 6 lung tissue; is that fair? 6 Q. All right. So there were som e 7 A. That's w hat he says, yes. 7 Foseco com panies that had not switched from 8 Q. All right. At the, at the bottom it 8 blue to brown? 9 says, "Cancer associated with blue asbestos." 9 A. That's my understanding. 10 He says, "It has been known fo r a long tim e 10 Q. A ll right. On th e page m arked 8, 11 th at th ere is a higher incidence o f ca ncer in 11 there's a section called "Perm issible D ust 12 the lungs and adjacent tissues am ong asbestos 12 Concentrations," and there should be a 13 w orkers than am ong the rest o f the population 13 squared-in paragraph. 14 by a factor o f approxim ately 10 to 1." 14 A. Yep. 15 S o w h a t he's saying th e re is 15 Q. It says, "The Ministry of Labor" - 16 asbestos by a factor of 10 to 1 causes cancer 16 and I take it that's so rt o f sim ilar to the 17 over nonexposed individuals, right? 17 Departm ent o f Labor here in the U.S.? 18 A. He's saying blue asbestos. 18 A. It is, yes. 19 Q. Right. Okay. 19 Q. -- "lays down a lim it of 5 m illion 20 If you'll turn the page, sir. And 20 asbestos dust particles per cubic foot of 21 at this tim e -- because I, I believe you said 22 that he was advocating am osite as a substitute 21 atm osphere.

A t this tim e 23 o f this recom m endation is restricted by the 24 Foseco is still using the blue asbestos; is 24 limited inform ation upon which it is based." 25 that right? 25 So I'll stop there. W hich is -- HG LITIGATION SERVICES HGLITIGATION.COM 23 (Pages 86 to 89) ANTHONY MONEY Page 90 Page 92 1 that's sort o f a caveat, that there is a lim it 1 A.

It says, "It should be noted that 14 Q. Oh. Oh. Okay. U.S. Steel. W hat's 15 the starch binder product." W hat, w hat was 15 a 699 ring? 16 that? 16 A. It is a design for one o f their 17 A.

"It should be noted that the 20 Q. The whole tim e I w as like w hat are 21 starch binder product is to take priority over 21 they doing with a hot top on a ship. Again, 22 th e nonasbestos program at the present time. 22 I'm a lawyer, not an industrialist.

I, I -- I do not o ff the top of my 16 going through the asbestos-free program when we 16 head, no. 17 had other significant variations in som e o f the 17 Q. Okay. But this man - I guess he's 18 recipe form ulations. So that's why the starch 19 had a priority. 18 a salesperson? 19 A. Yes. 20 Q. I understand. But it w as a reason 21 to set the nonasbestos program aside at least 22 for that period of time? 20 Q.
