MINUTES OF MARCH 11, 1969, MEETING. The Minutes of the March 11, 1969, meeting of the Board of Directors were approved as submitted to the members. II. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-TREASURER. (a) Financial Report for Ten Months Ending March 31, 1969The financial report for the ten months ending March 31, 1969, was summarized by the Secretary-Treasurer. CMA 069022 1204 ON MOTION, duly made and seconded, it was VOTED: That the report be accepted and placed on file. (b) Employment of Auditors. On recommendation of the Secretary. Treasurer and ON MOTION, duly made and seconded, it was VOTED: That the firm of Bond, Beebe, Bond & Bond, Certified Public Accountants, be appointed to conduct the annual audit of the Association's books prior to the expira tion of the fiscal year. Arrangements have been made by the staff to close the books on May 16 for audit begining May 19- III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. (a) Budget and Financing for Fiscal 1969-70- Chairman Smith of the Finance Committee reported that the Executive and Finance Committees had met the previous day and reviewed the proposed fiscal 1969-70 budget. Although the proposed budget appears to be essentially the same as the budget for fiscal 1968-69, this is due to the proposed carry-over of project funds from this fiscal year to the next. On a spending basis the proposed budget is over 10% above current levels. Estimated income and surplus from the current year, however, are expected to support the proposed budget without an increase in membership fees or significant invasion of accumulated surplus. Further, any necessary invasion of surplus is not expected to bring it below the customary level of six months' expenses. Cognizance was taken of increasing costs of doing business and, with its recommendation for approval of the proposed budget, the committees will put the Association on notice that if spending levels continue the present rate of escala tion, it will most probably be necessary to either seek an increase in the dues structure in fiscal 1970-71 or curtail Association programs . These programs are currently under review by the Policy Study Committee, and the Finance Committee will have the benefit of their guidance when the fiscal 1970-71 budget is prepared. Chairman Gerstacker announced that Directors would receive the pro posed budget for advance study two weeks before the May meeting. i (b) Report on President's Reception for Members of Congress and Government Officials. General Decker reported that the reception for Members of Congress and Government officials on the previous evening was a success ful CMA 069023 1205 and well-attended affair. A number of guests had commented favorably upon it and attendance exceeded that at previous receptions, totaling 256, with a congressional contingent including wives and staff of 196, and 33 from the Executive Branch. Credit for the excellent attendance was accorded Directors who ad dressed letters of invitation to their Senators and Representatives. (c) Proposed Amendment of Article III of the By-Laws Concerning Membership. Chairman Menke of the Membership Committee summarized the proposed amendments of Article III of the By-Laws relating to membership, as set forth in Exhibit A, ON MOTION, duly made and seconded it was VOTED: That the proposed amendments be approved for presentation to the mem bership at the next Annual Meeting. (d) Reallocation of Water Resources Committee Project Funds. Furnished to Directors in advance and summarized by Chairman Bryant of the Executive Committee was a staff proposal to reallocate $20, 000 authorized for research during the current fiscal year on chlorination of organics, project W-12, to project W-3 concerning effects of chemicals on water uses, copy ap pended as Exhibit B, which the Executive Committee had endorsed at its meeting on the previous day. ON MOTION, duly made and seconded, it was VOTED: That $20, 000 be reallocated from project W-12 to project W-3 as proposed. (e) Proposed MCA Position on H. R. 7489 to Restrict Conglom erate Take-overs. (f) Proposed MCA Position on Texas Chemical Manufacturing Tax. Sent to Directors in advance of the meeting and summarized by Chairman Bryant of the Executive Committee were the proposed Association positions on H. R. 7489, introduced by Chairman Wilbur Mills of the House Ways and Means Committee, to restrict corporate take-overs by conglomerates, and on an occupation tax on the business of manufacturing chemicals which the Governor of Texas had recommended to the Texas State Legislature. Statements of the positions, recommended by the Tax Policy Committee and endorsed by the Executive Committee, are appended as Exhibits C and D. Furnished to those present were copies of proposed letters to Chairman Mills and key members of the Texas Legislature respectively setting forth the Association's positions. Following discussion, in which the consensus was that Association statements should avoid the defensive posture of opposing "hostile" take-overs suggested by Exhibit C, it was, 69Q24 1206 I ON MOTION, duly made and seconded, VOTED: That the proposed positions be approved, except as indicated, and that the proposed letters be sent to Chairman Mills and appropriate Texas officials. (g) 97th Annual Meeting of the Association. Mr. Harrison, Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, reported that current registration for the Annual Meeting totaled 828 registrants from 140 companies, present indications being that accommodations at The Greenbrier will again be heavily taxed to accommo date all registrants. Details concerning the golf tournament have been mailed to registrants and the meeting program has been completed with the exception of the Friday evening banquet speaker, but intensive efforts are continuing with the hope that an early announcement can be made concerning this feature. IV. COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS. The following committee appointments were approved. (a) Air Quality Committee. Richard H. Mansur. Reynolds Metals Company (b) Education Activities Committee. William D.

General Decker reported on developments in the Association's program of projects and activities since the last meeting, copy appended as Exhibit E. At the outset, General Decker announced that the ICC Examiner's Report and Recommended Order in the tank car allowance case had been issued the previous day, adopting a modification of the MCA formula at a level of allowances slightly higher than requested. If the Examiner's Order is upheld, MCA member companies would receive an additional $ 10-$ 11 million annually. VI. LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS. Mr. James G. Morton, MCA Director of Government Relations, reported upon the status of legislative matters of primary concern to the chemical industry, including an assessment of future prospects based upon information obtained from Washington sources. Following Mr. Morton's report, Chairman Gerstacker summarized recent developments in the Government's efforts to expand exports and urged Directors to communicate with their representatives in Congress concerning the threatened repeal of the investment tax credit. Chairman Gerstacker introduced General Bruce Macdonald (Canadian Army Retired), President of the Canadian Chemical Producers' Association, and, on behalf of the Directors, expressed their pleasure in having him as a guest. There being no further business to come before the meeting, it was unanimously resolved to adjourn. James R. Carnes Secretary-Treasurer Certified Correct; Carl A.

MCA-4/15/69 CMA 069030 EXHIBIT B PROPOSAL FOR BUDGET REALLOCATION Proposal To reallocate $20,000, authorized for research on chlorination of organics (Special Project W-12), to the project concerning effects of chemicals on water uses (W-3). Reason Arrangements to initiate W-12 have progressed slowly because of the procedural details in volved in negotiation with the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration on co-funding. Hence it is doubtful that the project can be gotten under way before the end of MCA's cur rent fiscal year. The like amount ($20,000) being requested in the 1969-70 budget will provide for initiation, rather than continua tion as originally planned. $20,000 thus derived can be applied effectively to supplement the current year's authorization ($30,000) for W-3, and relieve the request for stepped-up funding of this project, as earlier recommended by the Water Resources Committee, in next year's budget. The Water Resources Committee and staff concur m this reallocation proposal. 4/15/69 CMA 069031 EXHIBIT C RECOMMENDATION OF THE TAX POLICY COMMITTEE CONCERNING PROPOSED MCA POSITION ON H.R. 7489, CHAIRMAN MILLS1 BILL TO RESTRICT CONGLOMERATE TAKEOVERS. H.R. 7489, introduced by chairman Wilbur Mills of the House Ways and Means committee on February 24, 1969, would restrict corporate take overs by limiting the deductibility of interest on indebtedness incurred by corporations in acquiring stock in other corporations where more than 35% of the consideration for the acquired stock consisted of evidence of indebtedness of the acquiring corporation. The Tax Policy Committee has studied this bill. The majority of the members favor the concept of restricting unfriendly domestic take overs. They are of the opinion, however, that this is an "overkill" bill with too broad implications. Major objections to the bill are the following: 1. It would apply to foreign, as well as domestic acquisitions. The Committee believes that it should not apply to the acquisition of stock of foreign cor*porations, particularly under present circumstances where it is almost obligatory to borrow overseas for such purposes. 2. It could apply to situations where corporations borrow funds to construct new facilities, and because of state laws or other business conditions, desire to house the new facilities in a new subsidiary. If the corporation exchanges the borrowed funds for stock in the new subsidiary an interest deduction would be denied. 3. it could have a tracer effect with regard to funds borrowed at a time before an acquisition was contemplated. The Tax Policy Committee recommends that MCA submit a letter to the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee indicating Association support for the principle of discouraging unfriendly domestic takeovers, but recommending that the bill be amended to restrict it to this pur pose. in particular, the bill should not apply to foreign acquisitions. There is some urgency in taking action on this matter as there are strong indications that Chairman Mills plans to bring this bill up for Ways and Means committee action, without public hearings, in the very near future, possibly as early as the week of April 14th. MCA - 4/15/69 CMA 069032 RECOMMENDATION OF THE TAX POLICY COMMITTEE EXHIBIT D CONCERNING PROPOSED MCA POSITION ON TEXAS CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING TAX *1 On March I9th the Governor of Texas recommended to the Texas State Legislature that an occupation tax be imposed on the business of manufacturing chemicals. The proposed tax would be computed at the rate of one-half of one percent of the value of the chemicals manufactured, the value to be determined by the gross receipts from the sale of chemicals manufactured in Texas. It is the unanimous opinion of the Tax Policy Committee that this proposed tax be opposed for the following reasons: 1. The tax is discriminatory in that it applies only to chemical manufacturers. 2. This tax undoubtedly would have a pyramiding ef fect that could result in chemical products being taxed several times during processing. 3. it would more than double state taxes paid by chemical manufacturers in Texas and would make Texas taxes higher than those of seven other major chemical producing states. 4. Adoption of this "Value Added" type tax by Texas could lead to the adoption of similar taxes by other states. The Texas chemical Council is spearheading opposition to this tax proposal and recommends that members contact their Texas State legislators urging them to oppose the tax. The Tax Policy Committee recommends that MCA take the follow ing action: 1. Alert members and encourage those with facilities in Texas to voice their opposition to the tax directly to the Texas State legislators. 2. Submit a letter to the Texas Legislature setting forth MCA opposition to the tax. This course of action has been discussed with Harry Whitworth of the Texas Chemical council who concurs wholeheartedly with it. He sug gested that letters from MCA be sent not only to the Chairman of the House Committee on Revenue Taxation, but also to the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate and the Governor of Texas. Mr. Whitworth informs us that the Texas House Committee on Revenue and Taxation plans to commence hearings on this measure on April 16th. MCA - 4/15/69 CMA 069033 EXHIBIT E STAFF REPORT April 15, 1969 Presented by General G. H. Decker The Subcommittee on Foreign Economic Policy of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs held hearings on Congressman Tunney's H. Con. Res. 85 to express the sense of Congress that foreign direct investment controls should be terminated as soon as possible. On March 27 as requested by Chairman Gerstacker, I presented MCA's statement recommending that a firm date for termination of the controls be set. This recommendation was based on our poll of MCA members which reflected the overwhelming view that continuation would weaken the chemical industry's competitive position in world markets, and inhibit normal growth and sales potentials of foreign affiliates of U. S. com panies, thus detracting from the long-term interest of the country. The Pres ident subsequently announced liberalization of the controls for 1969- The Office of Foreign Direct Investments is not to be abandoned, but will continue to function over the easements. The President specifically approved: (1) Per mitting a company to invest up to $1 million abroad this year without controls, up from $300, 000; (2) larger foreign investment quotas for TJ. S. firms by raising the allowables from 20 to 30 percent of last year's foreign affiliate earnings; (3) a special liberalization for airlines; (4) a fairer system for regu lating investment for companies in the extractive industries; (5) new guidelines for bank foreign lending ceilings; (6) a reduction in interest equalization tax, thereby adjusting the tax to 11-1/4% of the stock value on purchase of foreign securities. A decision has been made to retain the office of Special Trade Represen tative as an independent office reporting directly to the President. Mr. Carl J. , Gilbert, formerly of the Gillette Company has been appointed to fill the position. On March 14, Mr. William E. Pardoe, Treasurer of Union Carbide, testified on MCA's behalf at the House Ways and Means Committee Tax Reform hearings on the subject of foreign tax credits, Mr. Pardoe recommended the extension of the foreign tax credit to all situations in which the United States imposes Federal Income Tax on undistributed profits of foreign subsidiaries. He also urged that foreign tax credit be extended to foreign corporations below the second tier and connected to the domestic corporation by a 10 percent stock ownership. * CMA 069034 T -2- H. R. 100, introduced by Representative Thompson (D-N. J. ), would amend section 8(b) (4) of the National Labor Relations Act so as to legalize situs picketing and secondary boycotts at the site of construction, operation, painting and repair of a building, structure, or other work. It is believed that the language of H. R. 100 is broad enough to permit secondary boycotts, not only against construction contractors, but also against manufacturers who contract for construction work to be done on their premises, or make equip ment or material for such work. This bill is identical to H. R. 100 of the 90th Congress, and is scheduled for hearings following the Easter recess of Congress The Industrial Relations Advisory Committee is strongly opposed to this measure and a statement reflecting MCA opposition is now being prepared for submission to the House Education and Labor Special Subcommittee on Labor which will conduct the hearings. s!< & * % !( s): # The version of the Water Duality Improvement Act of 1969, reported by the House Public Works Committee on March 25 as H. R. 4148, is satisfactory in respect to MCA's principal concern expressed in recent testimony. It pro vides for certification by state or interstate agencies of "reasonable assurance" that activities in prospect under Federal license or permit will meet applicable water quality standards of the agency having jurisdiction. Federal certification would be authorized only under certain qualified circumstances. :{e $ $ $ $ ijs $ The Examiner's Report and Recommended Order in ICC 8406 proceeding was released yesterday. While I have not yet seen a copy, I understand that the Commission considered the railroad's proposed allowance level as unlawful and prescribed a six-level schedule of allowances slightly higher than those requested by MCA, on a modification of MCA's formula. If the Examiner's Order is upheld, MCA members will benefit to the extent of an additional $ 10 - $ 11 million annually. In addition, the proposed mileage equalization rule was rejected and a portion of the railroad's proposal on empty car movement charges was approved. All in all, MCA fared well. The National Air Pollution Control Administration Bureau of Criteria and Standards has offered to place MCA on the list of outside reviewers to examine drafts of future air quality criteria documents. This will provide the chemical industry with an opportunity to follow the development of docu ments so as to be in a position to submit comments on a timely schedule. I l ** t CMA 069035 k -3- The Air Quality Committee has become concerned about the prolifera tion of regulations for control of particulate emissions based on process weight tables. These often copy the 1947 Los Angeles tables without regard to the validity of their applicability to the jurisdiction in question. Dr. Louis McCabe, director of the Los Angeles agency at the time these regulations were developed, has been engaged to write a technical publication to explain the irrationality of applying this rule to situations in which the factors may be quite different. # >Jc sf: # * Jit Objectives and scope for a proposed study of atmospheric emissions from electric furnace operations of reactive metals producers have been out lined and submitted to the MCA-PHS Steering Committee. As drafted, it covers cost elements as well as technology problems beyond current industrial prac tice. The former would depart from existing MCA policy which proscribes collection of information on elements of manufacturing cost, and the latter would go beyond the limitations imposed by the MCA-PHS Memorandum of Understanding; hence this matter is being placed under cognizance of staff and general counsel. Wn- Jtl|r! tb J# tli O# #1* In response to a proposal to delete glass carboys from the list of author ized containers for ocean transportation, MCA on March 21 advised the Coast Guard that such deletion would seriously affect the ability of chemical companies to maintain high purity standards required for certain products in certain uses. # * afs sis # # # The epidemiologic study at Michigan Institute of Industrial Health supported by 19 member and two non-member producers of polyvinyl chloride has been completed. The Institute director has written each company pertain ing to findings concerning its employees having cases or suspected cases of Raynaud's phenomenon or occupational acroosteolysis. There is a strong sus picion that "polycleaning" operations might be a contributing cause in seven or more companies. A report on the work, after review by a Task Group of the Occupational Health Committee, has been cleared to the full Committee and the participating company representatives who have been invited to a Washing ton meeting May 6 at which time the Institute staff can clarify any questions on this complex subject. This will also provide an opportunity for free and open discussion of the problem to the extent that proprietary information is not disclosed. re- m,U n* k-iL1* CMA 069036 -4- Chemical Progress Week occurs April 21-26, with a program developed around a theme of chemistry's contributions in the field of environmental health, Materials for the week were distributed, and indications are that many com munity relations endeavors -- especially among the Chemical Industry Coun cils -- will take advantage of this annual national observance.
