Abex further objects to this interrogatory on the ground that the information it seeks lacks
relevance to the issues arising in this case, and is not calculated to lead to the discovery of
admissible evidence.
Abex further objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is over broad, oppressive,
harassing and otherwise unduly burdensome, and calls for speculation to the extent to which it
requests knowledge, information or materials which are not within the personal possession or
control of Abex, its employees or agents, or which may be ascertained or derived, if at all, only
from a page-by-page review of the existing voluminous business records and documents of
Abex.
Subject to and without waiving these objections, and insofar as it understands this
interrogatory, Abex responds that it was a member of the following trade associations at various
times:
Asbestos Information Association/ Asbestos Information Association ofNorth America (AIA/NA) (1975 to 1980)
The Brake Lining Manufacturing Association (from an unknown period to 1949) Friction Materials Standards Institute (1949 to 1994) The Air Hygiene Foundation of America (1937) (subsequently known as the
Industrial Hygiene Foundation) The Industrial Hygiene Foundation (1946) The American Industrial Hygiene Association ("AIHA") The Air Pollution Control Association The Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (formerly the
Machinery and Allied Products Institute).
