9 Carolina.
10
Q. All right. W hen you started in

16
Q. Have your responsibilities always
17 sort of been on the financial side?
18
A. Again, tim e frame.

A. No.
3
MR. SMITH: Excuse me. I apologize.
4
Is there any way we can get the m icrophone
5
a little closer to the w itness? I'm having
6
trouble hearing his responses.
7
MR. PANATIER: It's pretty close.
8
M aybe you could just keep up your voice a
9
little bit. I'm going to m ove the phone a
10
little bit closer.
11
MR. SMITH: Thank you. I hear you
12
perfectly. The witness ju st seem s a little
13
far away.
14
MR. PANATIER: M y elocution is

flaw less, so that's probably why. All

right. W e'll try that.
17
MR. SMITH: And just can I get a
18
read-back of the last tw o answ ers with
19
respect to the questions o f him being

Q. Sir, starting in 1962, Foseco
3 on that role in April 1974.
3 developed som e asbestos-containing insulating
4
Q. All right. 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. No.
18 attributes fo r different applications; is that
19
Q. Have you ever had any
19 fair?
20 responsibilities for regulatory com pliance on
20
A. Correct.
21 health and safety issues?
21
Q. Ail right. Starting in 1965 when
22
A. No.
23
Q. Have you ever been the person who
24 served as a liaison or som eone w ho com municated
22 the Profax insulating boards m ade by Foseco 23 becam e available com m ercially, is it fa ir to 24 say they contained approxim ately 4 percent
25 with any regulatory bodies on the issues of
25 am osite asbestos and up to 4 percent

2
A. No.
2 location was different, but w e, w e used som e
3
Q. Okay. W ill you go ahead and tell me
4 w hat the correct numbers are?
5
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

17
Q. Okay. Does Foseco acknow ledge that

So today, the com pany's an sw er is
11
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

22
A. I didn't -- I'm not sure how to

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.

24
Q. Okay. Do you agree that from day

20
Q. Foseco understood that crocidolite

A. Correct.
16 from th is Is th a t th e re is a p o tentially higher

A. Yes.
8 okay, for Profax boards, hot tops, what's the
8
Q. -- hot top. So instead o f having to

16
Q. So if you had a 38-pound hot top, we
17
Q. Okay.
17 could take this num ber, 756 m illion particles
18
A. And they were usually unique to that

Q. For the big end down m olds at Arm co
20 at least in Foseco's understanding, th ere w ould
21 Butler, how big would the hot tops be?
21 be in one o f those products, right?
22
A. Various. It depends on the mold.

MR. INABINET: Objection to form.
23
Q. Okay. W ell, give me an example.
23
THE WITNESS: I'm not technically
24
A. Well, this - if this is the ingot
