CROWE State Bar No. 05164250 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I hereby certify that a true and correct copy of the above and foregoing document has been forwarded to Plaintiffs' counsel of record, Mr. Russell W. Budd, Baron & Budd, by hand delivery on the X___ day of sePf. 1993 DEFENDANT U. S. GYPSUM COMPANY'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFFS' INTERROGATORIES f:\asb3\usg2.rog Page 1 PREFATORY STATEMENT United States Gypsum Company (hereinafter "U.S. Gypsum") has, to the best of its abilities, gathered non-privileged documents into a document repository for inspection by plaintiffs' counsel in response to requests for production served in asbestos litigation. These documents provide information that supplements and expands upon that provided in these answers to Interrogatories and Requests for Production. Accordingly, by way of further response to these Interrogatories and Requests for Production, U.S. Gypsum hereby offers to make available these documents at a mutually convenient time at its offices at 125 S. Franklin Street, Chicago, Illinois. In giving its responses to Interrogatories and Requests for Production as to asbestos-containing products, U.S. Gypsum refers to products containing commercial asbestos as part of their formulation and to the type of commercial asbestos used as part of the formulation. OBJECTIONS U.S. Gypsum objects to the manner in which plaintiff purports to include in its definition of U.S. Gypsum "any of its merged, consolidated, or acquired predecessors, division, subsidiaries, foreign subsidiaries, foreign subsidiaries of predecessors, and/or affiliates known to have mined manufactured, sold, marketed, utilized or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products into ships or other water-going vessels. This definition includes present and former officers, directors, agents, employees, and all other persons acting or purporting to act on behalf of U.S. Gypsum Company or its predecessors, subsidiaries, and/or affiliates known to have mined, manufactured, sold, marketed or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products. 'Predecessors' further means any business firm, whether or not incorporated, which had all or some of its assets purchased by you or came to be acquired by you whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise known to have mined, manufactured, sold, marketed, utilized, or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products. 'Subsidiaries' further means any business firm whether or not incorporated, which is or was in any way owned or controlled, in whole or in part by defendant or its predecessors and which is known to have mined, manufactured, sold, marketed, utilized or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products." In that U.S. Gypsum Company is the named defendant, this definition is overly broad and would require U.S. Gypsum to engage in unduly burdensome research, divulge privileged informa tion and produce privilege documents. This defendant, United States Gypsum Company, responds to these Interrogatories and Requests for Production on behalf of itself. DEFENDANT U. S. GYPSUM COMPANY'S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFFS' INTERROGATORIES :\asb3\usg2.rog Page 2 U.S. Gypsum further objects to these Interrogatories and Requests for Production to the extent they ask for "identification" of voluminous documents on the ground that they are overly broad, unduly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. As set forth infra. U.S. Gypsum will produce documents which are the proper subjects of an appropriate document request. Finally, to this defendant's best current knowledge, informa tion and belief, this defendant believes that its products were never used in the shipbuilding trade. This defendant never manufactured any asbestos insulation material suited for shipbuild ing. Most of this defendant's asbestos-containing products were gypsum-based and therefore were not suitable for use around water, moisture, ships, etc. ANSWERS TO INTERROGATORIES INTERROGATORY NO. 1: Identify by name and location each plant ever owned, operated, or at a later time bought or at a later time bought or under control of U.S. Gypsum Company, in which asbestos-containing products were manufactured, assembled, or prepared for sale or marketing, specifying which plants produced each item, the dated each plant is or was in operation, and the time span during which each asbestos-containing product was manufactured, assembled, or prepared for sale or marketing. Answer: See attached Schedule D. INTERROGATORY NO. 2: Does U.S. Gypsum Company have in its possession or custody any x-rays, taken before 1970, of individuals who worked in any plant in which asbestos-containing products were manufactured, assembled, or prepared for sale or marketing? If so, state: a. The name of each plant; b. The location of each plant; c. The time periods in which asbestos-containing products were manufactured, assembled, or prepared for sale at each plant; d. The date each plan closed; e. Where such x-rays are kept; and f. The occupations of the individuals who had x-rays taken. DEFENDANT U. S. GYPSUM COMPANY * S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFFS* INTERROGATORIES f:\asb3\usg2.rog Page 3 Answer; Objection. This Interrogatory is overbroad, irrelevant, immaterial, and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. INTERROGATORY NO. 3: Has U.S. Gypsum Company turned over any papers, documents, writings concerning asbestos, the health effects of asbestos, or asbestos-related disease to any law firm? If so, state: a. A description of each paper, document, or writing; and b. The name and address of the law firm. Answer; Objection. This Interrogatory is overbroad, irrelevant, immaterial, and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. INTERROGATORY NO. 4: . Has U. S. Gypsum Company, or attorneys representing U. S. Gypsum Company, destroyed any documents which refer or relate to asbestos, the health effects of asbestos, asbestos-containing products, or dust studies that measured asbestos dust? If so, state: a. A description of each document; b. The author of each document; c. A summary of the subject matter of each document; and d. The reason for the destruction of each document. Answer: This defendant has a record retention policy in place which will be made available. To this defendant's best knowledge, information and belief, no documents referring or relating to asbestos, etc. have been destroyed since this defendant became involved in the asbestos litigation. DEFENDANT U. S. GYPSUM COMPANY *S OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO PLAINTIFFS* INTERROGATORIES f:\asb3\usg2.rog Page 4 RESPONSES TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1.: Produce copies of all writings or documents relating to asbestos, the health effects of asbestos, or asbestos-containing products that U.S. Gypsum Company has provided to, and which are currently kept by, any law firm, other than writings or documents that are subject to the work product privilege. RESPONSE: Objection. This Request is overbroad, irrelevant, immaterial, and is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Without waiving this objection, non-privileged, responsive documents, to the extent they exist, will be made available to plaintiff at a mutually convenient time through U.S. Gypsum Company's offices at 125 South Franklin Street, Chicago, IL. REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2.: * Produce all reports, documents or writings of dust studies performed in U.S. Gypsum Company plants or facilities in which concentrations of asbestos dust were measured. .

The cancellation of these operating bulletins usually coincided with cessation of production, but occasionally bulletins would remain uncancelled after the manufacture of a product had been discontinued. Consequently, the years shown for cancellation of authorisation are believed to be the last possible year of manufacture, although manufacture may have in fact ended earlier. Production dates established through documentation other than product operating bulletins have been footnoted. Temporary and trial production runs are inoluded (along with regular production). These have been footnoted for Flrecode and can be determined for other products from a review of operating bulletins. With texture products, such runs were occasionally given slight name variations.

At some period ot time between 1926 and 1930, Sabinite la believed to have been manufactured at U.S. Gypsum's plant at Arden, Nevada. However, no bulletins for that plant have been located, it having been closed in 1930. Sabinite may have been produced until this date, but sales diminished substantially by the mid-1950's. Not sold in the United States. Two-component Hi-Lite plaster was authorized for production in June 1953 and discontinued in August 1954.
