Re: Nevada Power v. Monsanto, et al
Dear Paul:
Dr. Kelly continues to be unavailable for testimony for medical reasons.
We have had discussions regarding Monsanto's response to plaintiff's Rule 30(b)(6) Notice to Monsanto for corporate witnesses on Monsanto's notice or knowledge of "any and all a l l eged potential, or actual h a z a r d s 11 of PCBs (Attachment A ) . We are enclosing a copy of Dr. Kelly's testimony from the litigation entitled Glenn Brown v. M o n s a n t o , w h i c h we are p r o p o s i n g to use as a partial response to Att a c h m e n t A.
Please review the enclosed transcript promptly and advise whether you will accept this deposition testimony, we will then discuss the particulars.
I m a y also wish to offer portions of this testimony for Monsanto's partial response to plaintiff's Rule 30(b)(6) Notice re IBT, recently served (Attachment 8). This Notice has been modified by Mr. Bradley, and as modified, is an exhibit to the transcript for Dr. Levinskas. I have not seen the exhibit, but I believe A t t a c h m e n t 8, as attached, reflects R a l p h ' s changes.
Thank you.
Very truly yours
