CANA 6 i October 18, 1967 File: C-310.02 L.A.B. Bottoms Mr. A. Ven&ette * Monsanto Canada Limited 425 St. Patrick Street Ville La Salle, Quebec 'v. Dear Avila: & It was a pleasure to talk to you yesterday and I am genuinely sorry that I will not have time to visit EXPO this fall as I had planned. I certainly agree with you that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The samples of the heavy alkylate from our linear alkyl benzene operation have been ordered from Sarnia and you should receive them in a week or so. From the experience we both have had with hard bottoms, I am sure that you appreciate that these are by-products and are subject to some fluctuations in quality. The samples will be identified as follows: 1) DA 122A - Heavy Alkylate from Escane 440 (light grade) 2) DA 123A - Heavy Alkylate from Escane 460 (heavy grade) . A combined total of about 3 MMlb. will be available, with about 60$ from the heavy grade. VJe agreed that you would take a prelininary look at the samples and if your interest is maintained, we would have further discussions regarding the price. . Thank you for your enquiry: we will await further word from you when you have completed your evaluations. . Yours very truly, ^G.R. Fern^ 0S\N 587706 m STLCOPCB4093042
