Wm. Papageorge - Glenn Brown Trial Testimony 10/29/91
1 THE COURT: Counsel, you may continue.
2 MR. KOTOSKE: I recall William Papageorge.
3 CONTINUED DIRECT EXAMINATION OF WILLIAM PAPAGEORGE
4 QUESTIONS BY MR. KOTOSKE:
5 Q. Mr. Papageorge, is it a fair statement that
6 the Anniston plant in Alabama was the plant that supplied
7 the PCBs to Monsanto, (inaudible) PCBJo s to the Westinghouse
8 plant in Bloomington, Indiana?
9 A. It is one of the two plants, yes.
10 Q. I want to focus your attention on the
11 conditions of the Westinghouse plant in Bloomington, and 12 in order to differentiate between Monsanto plant which is
13 making the PCBs and Westinghouse plant, I'm going to refer
14 to it as the Bloomington plant so we keep an orderly
p15
differentiation in our discussions. Did it come to
your
16 attention in the 1960's that the working conditions of the
17 workers in the Bloomington plant -- I'm going to have to
18 strike that.
19 Did it come to your attention in the '60's the
20 conditions under which workers were working with the PCBs 21 in the Bloomington plant? 22 A. No. I was never told the conditions in the
23 plant.
24 Q. Let me show you a memorandum dated September
25 21, 1967, and I']p 11 see if that refreshes your

1 recollection. 2 MR. CARNEY: Could we approach the bench, 3 Your Honor? 4 THE COURT: All right. 5 (A bench conference was held.) 6 MR. KOTOSKE: Judge, can I have that copy 7 back? 8 THE COURT: Oh, sure. Ladies and gentlemen, 9 now that I've got you down here, we're going to have to
10 take a very short fiv]p e-minute break. I apologize for the 11 disruption, but we have to discuss something, so a 12 five-minute break. Stretch your legs a little bit. Don't
13 discuss the case among yourselves or with others. 14 Felicia, bring them back at quarter to 10:00. 15 (Brief recess.) 16 THE COURT: Proceed. 17 Q. Have you had chance to look at the 18 memorandum? 19 A. Yes. Yes.
p20 Q. And you were copied on that memorandum; were
21 you not? 22 A. I was.
23 Q. Does that memorandum refresh your 24 recollections as to the working conditions at the 25 Bloomington plant?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49517
3 1 A. Your question, sir, is -- When you asked me, 2 as I understood it, was I told about plant conditions, my 3 mind immediately went to the arrangement of the equipment, 4 the absence or presence of ventijo lation. 5 REPORTER: Presence of what? 6 A. Absence or presence of ventilation in the 7 working area, these kinds of things. The memo reminded me 8 of the presence of liquid and oil on the workers and their 9 shoes and the fact that they didn't change their clothing. 10 I would associate that more with the workers' practices 11 rather than condition of the plant. 12 Q. Thank you for your explanation. Now, let' s]p 13 cut right to it. What did you know about these workers at 14 the Bloomington plant handling PCBs in a sloppy fashion? 15 A. The author of that memorandum did use that 16 word, and he was relaying in that memorandum information 17 he received from someone at the Bloomington plant. 18 Q. Who was the author of the memorandum? 19 A. Paul Benignus. 20 Q. Who is Paul Benignus? 21 REPORTER: (]p Inaudible.) 22 MR. PAPAGEORGE: B-e-n-i-g-n-u-s. 23 A. Mr. Benignus at that time was the manager of 24 marketing of the dielectric fluids that contained PCBs. 25 Q. He was a Monsanto employee; was he not?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49518
1 A. Yes.
4
2 Q. He was a seller of PCBs. He was in the sales
3 department; wasn't he?
4 A. Well, yes.
5 Q. And he was reporting to you in this]p
6 memorandum on which you received a copy back in '67 that
7 the conditions out at that plant in Bloomington were
8 unacceptable?
9 A. Were sloppy is the word he used.
10 Q. Would Mr. Benignus be in a position toknow
11 that type of information?
12 A. If he personally saw it, yes.
13 Q. Did Mr. Benignus in his memorandumrefer to
14 spilling of PCBs, workers getting their clothes soaked,
15 ]p their shoes full of PCBs?
16 A. He did.
17 Q. Those were conditionsthat Monsanto would not
18 tolerate in its plants; would it?
19 A. That is correct.
20
Q.
Those conditions could bevery harmful
to the
21 Bloomington plant workers; would they not?
22 A. Not on a one-time condition or exposure, but
23 repeated, eventually, yes.
24 Q. The conditions were so bad that if they
p25 continued those workers could have died from that
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49519
1 exposure?
5
2 A. That would be the extreme case, yes, sir.
3 Q. But certainly those workers at the
4 Bloomington plant, considering the conditions that you
5 knew, were quite likely to have chloracne from that
6 exposure?
7 A. No. I had no information to tell me that
8 they would have chloracne.
9 Q. Did you have any informjp ation that those
10 workers were likely to incur liver damage from that
11 exposure?
12 A. I had no information of that kind.
13 Q. You knew that their exposure consisted of
14 clothes drenched in PCBs, shoes soaked in PCBs; did you
15 not?
16 A. I did.
17 Q. You knew that as early as the 1960's?
18 A. By that memorandum, yes, sir.
19 Q. You also knew at that time that repeated^)
20 exposure to PCBs in conditions described in that
21 Bloomington plant could result, could result, in those
22 workers contracting chloracne?
23 A. Could under the right conditions, yes.
24 Q. You also knew at that time that those
25 workers, if that exposure and those conditions at that
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49520
6 1 plant continued, they could incur liver damage?
2 A. If they continued long enough, yes.
3
p Q.
How long is long enough?
4 A. I do not know.
5 Q. Did Monsanto, knowing the conditions in which
6 the PCBs were used at the Bloomington plant, ever conduct
7 a seminar or a session with the workers themselves -- I'm
8 talking about the men and women who worked in that
9 plant -- to explain to them the dangerous conditions from
10 exposure to PCBs?
11 A. Did Monsanto do that?
12
13 p
Q. Yes. A. No, sir. We cannot speak to our customers'
14 workers.
15 Q. I'm going to change the subject. Did you
16 ever visit the Bloomington plant?
17 A. Yes, sir.
18 Q. How many times?
19 A. Once.
20 Q. When? 21 A. July 1970.
22 Q. What were the conditions of the plant when
23 you visited there?
24 A. Well, I saw a fairly clean plant.
25
Q. Anybody tell you that the plant had been

spruced up just for your visit?
A. No, sir.
Q. Did you ask?
A.
No.
It wouldn't occur to me to ask.
Q. I wonder if this question occurred to you.
Did you ask anybody at the Bloomington plant, "Listen, how
did these workers work on a day-to-day basis with this
stuff, the PCBs that we manufacture and sell themjo ? How do
they work on a day-to-day basis?"
A. We had such a discussion.
Q. Who did you have thediscussion with?
A. Oh, a room full I would say of about a dozen
people, including the top managers, the plant manager
himself, and his engineering people, his manufacturing
people.
Q. And you were told that these workers handle
this stuff in perfect order, in perfect condition, according to all rules and regulations issued by Monsanto? A. I don't recall the word "perfect" being used,
but I was assured that all the precautions that were
well-known to the Westinghouse managers were being
emphasized and the foremen were observing the activities
and that the proper kinds of equipment were available,
that they were following good practices.
Q. Let me ask you something. By now you know
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49522
8
the chemical can be dangerous if it's misused. We've
agreed on that?
A. Oh, I knew it even then, sir.
Q. Did the thought ever occur to you to make a
surprise, unannounced visit?
A. The thought did occur, sir, but that just
isn't done. I can't walk into a plant -- That would be a
form of trespassing the way I see it.
Q. That's your explanation?
]p A. Yes.
Q. Now, I want to talk a little bit about Renate
Kimbrough
Renate Kimbrough conducted some toxicity
studies on animals in the early '70's; did she not?
A. Yes, she did.
Q. And she came to the conclusion, did she not,
that the PCBs you were producing were toxic to (inaudible)
animals; did she not?
A. One of the PCB mixtures that Monsanto was
producing used in hp er tests showed an effect on the test
animals, yes
Q. It was an adverse health effect; was it not?
A. Yes. That's her interpretation.
Q. You knew that in the early '70's; did you
not?
A. Yes .
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49523
9
1 Q. And you were not pleased -- Monsanto was not
2 pleased with the results and the conclusions she reached
p3
about the toxicity of her animal studies on your
PCBs?
4 A. I think a more accurate word would be we were
5 surprised rather than not pleased.
6 Q. Were you concerned?
7 A. Certainly.
8 Q. Now, the last of thosestudies ispublished
9 by Renate Kimbrough in 1974. I ask you to accept that
10 date as true. Studies, (four of them, three of them),
11 were in '72 and '74 when she found your PCB to be very
p12
toxic. Did you change the warning label
the workers would
13 see, if they ever saw it, to include the data and warning
14 about the toxicity that she found in her laboratory
15 animals?
16
A.
No, sir. You don'tchange wording
based on
17 one isolated study that has not been confirmed.
18 Q. And you didn't consider her at that time to
19 be world renowned in the area of PCB toxicology?
20 A. She was world renowned, certainly, but that
21 doesn't mean th]o at the one test could go unchallenged.
22 This is done in the scientific community all the time.
23 Q. Now, the results she reached were directly
24 opposed to the results reached by IBT; were they not?
25 A. I don't know what you mean by the word
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49524
1 "opposed". They --
10
2 Q. Scientifically they reached different
3 conclusions?
4 A. Correct.
5
Q.
On the one hand you had]o
the IBT studies
6 showing no toxicity, and on the other hand you had the
7 Renate Kimbrough studies showing toxicity?
8 MR. CARNEY: I'm going to object. I think
9 it's mischaracterizing the studies.
10 THE COURT: I'm going to let the witness
11 explain if he doesn't agree. You may answer, sir.
12 A. Sir, both studies showed toxicity of that
13 particular PCB, the Aroclor 1260. It was the
14 interprjo etation of what the pathologists were seeing
15 through their microscopes that was in dispute.
16 Q. Nevertheless, both studies finding toxicity
17 in test animals, you did not change your warning label
18 after you had your studies and the Kimbrough studies; is
19 that true?
20 A. That is true. The warnings already there
21 would have prevented workers from reaching a condition
22 described by either of these sets of pathologist^) s.
23 Q. Now, for the balance of this examination, I
24 want you to have before you, which you probably
25 (inaudible), Exhibit 11. Let me show you how
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49525
11 1 (inaudible). Refer to those pages from Exhibit 11. The
2 first thing I'd like to talk about, and if you could stay 3 with me, I want to look at the material safety data tests 4 or sheets for Monsanto for the manufacturing of its own 5 Aroclors, and they start ]o on page one, and I'm sure you are 6 familiar with these data sheets. Start on page one, and 7 they go through page, I believe, 23 or so, page 20. I 8 want to -- Let's look at page one. This material safety 9 data sheet is dated May of '71. I asked this question of
10 Dr. Kelly, and he (inaudible). Where are the material 11 safety data sheets for the '50's and the '60's? 12 A. There were no such documents by the
13 Department of Labjo or, the new OSHA organization. 14 Q. Aside from the federal requirements now 15 requiring safety data sheets, did Monsanto nevertheless 16 have material safety data sheets for the manufacture of 17 PCBs prior to the 1970's? 18 A. There were data sheets that addressed the 19 safe handling of material, but they were not in a format 20 such as we're looking at now. 21 Q. I don't care about the format. Where are
22 t]o hose documents? Does Monsanto still have those
23 documents? 24 A. That I can't answer, but I do know that 25 safety data was included in Monsanto's manufacturing

12 procedure manuals and in their operating instructions
which the operators used. Q. Let me just interrupt you, please. I'm
talking about the material safety data sheets. Did Monsanto have material safety data sheets prior to 1970?
A. You're referring to a piece of paper with that title on it?
Q. Yes. A. No, sir. Q. Something like that? A. No such documents existed in industry at that time. Q. Look at -- You're familiar with these kinds of documents; are you not? A. Certainly. Q. I want you to turn to section four of this document. Just!) use the first part, it's easier to read, where it says fire and explosion hazard data. A. I see it. Q. It says the flash point of PCB is 180 degrees centigrade; does it not? A. That's what it says, yes. Q. I'm going to read some of these to the jury, and you tell me if I read it correct. It says, "Special precaution, special fire fighting procedures," and it says
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49527
13
1 "Respiratory protection when fighting fires or exposure to
2 vapor or gases is possible." Does it not?
3 A. It does.
4 Q. That means you've got to wear a mask of some
5 kind?
6 A. During a fire.
7 Q. I understand. Some type ofrespiratory
8 equipment. Is that what it says?
9 A. Yes. Against the smoke and whatever else
10 develops during the fire.
11 Q. And]o then it talks aboutexploding hazards;
12 does it not? Do you read that?
13 A. I do.
14
Q. And it saysthis:
"Highlytoxic gases,
15 chlorides and chlorine, can be involved in fires of this
16 product." Does it not?
17 A. It does.
18 Q. When a person -- If you look at section five,
19 health hazard data, do you see that?
20 A. I see it.
21
Q.
And it talks about theeffects
]o of over
22 exposure to PCBs; does it not?
23 A. It does.
24 Q. And it says this is what happens when you're
25 overexposed. Skin irritation in a form of chloracne.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49528
14 1 Systemic intoxication leads to nausea, vomiting, loss of 2 weight, edema, and abdominal pain. Does it not? 3 A. It does. 4 Q. Let's just stop. On any warning, on any 5 warning label that you've ever seen at Mon]o santo that was 6 on these drums or on these tankers or however you 7 delivered your PCBs, did you ever include this language, 8 "Exposure can result in skin irritation in the form of 9 chloracne. Systemic intoxication leads to nausea, 10 vomiting, loss of weight, edema and abdominal pain"? 11 A. No. 12 Q. Spills or leaks -- This is Section 7. 13 A. I see it. 14 Q. When there's a spill of PCBs, you'rjo e supposed 15 to (inaudible) clay, sawdust or other absorbing material, 16 place it in a drum, bury it in an approved chemical 17 landfill in accordance with local and state regulations. 18 Did I read that correctly? 19 A. Yes, I did. 20 Q. I just wantto ask you something. In all the 21 time you worked at Monsanto, in the '50's, in the '60's, 22 in the '70's -- And there's an exception. You changed 23 your warning in thejo '70's about environmental (inaudible); 24 did you not? 25 A. We did change that warning.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49529
15 1 Q. Did you ever have in the '50's, '60's and 2 '70's a warning to workers on the labels of these drums or 3 tanker cars or whatever that when a spill occurred it 4 would have this language included on it? Did the label 5 have that language? 6 A. The language you just read out of Section 7? 7 Q. Yes. 8 A. No. 9 Q. Section 8, special precautions, ventilation. 10 You're supposed to have ventilation for the vapors; is 11 that right? I'm down in Section 8. 12 A. Are you -- Under which part of that? 13 Q. Local exhaust. 14 A. Local, yes. 15 Q. It says, "Protective clothing, rubber gloves, 16 chemical (buffers)." Does it not? 17 A. Yes . 18 ]o Q. Now, down at the bottom Monsanto writes on 19 this material safety data sheet, quote "While the 20 information and recommendations set forth herein are 21 believed to be accurate as of the date hereof, Monsanto 22 Company makes no warranty with respect thereto and 23 disclaims all liability from reliance thereon." Did I 24 read that correctly? 25 A. You did.

16 Q. Will you please turn to page 22?
A. May I -- Earlier you mentioned a May date. Would you repeat that for me? I can't find that.
Q. It's May '71. A. That's the date that OSHA designed this form. Q. All right. Is that when you first started using it? A. No. Q. When did you first start using it? A. We started using it in late '71. This one is dated, as you can see at the ]o bottom of page two, January 26th, '72. Q. Thank you. Would you turn to page 22? I'm not going to spend a lot of time on these medical studies, but I had asked you before whether or not you had read these medical studies, these toxicity studies from the Harvard School of Public Health carried out by (inaudible). They start on page 22. A. Page 22. I have it. Q. When I asked you before ]o whether -- These were the studies I was referring to. Were we talking about the same studies? A. Yes. Q. Turn to page 46. Can you tell me what this document is?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49531
17 1 A. The document starting on page 46 appears to 2 be part of a manufacturing process manual. 3 Q. For PCBs? 4 A. For PCBs at Monsanto. 5 Q. That's a Monsanto document; is it p not? 6 A. Yes . 7 Q. I'm interested to know whether or not you 8 ever read it 9 A. Certainly. 10 Q. Turn to page 51, and I'm going to read 11 something. 12 A. I have it. 13 Q. Did you read this document at or about the 14 time it was published or shortly thereafter, or when did 15 you read it? 16 A. I read this document when I was assigned to 17 the p Anniston plant in 1964 or so. 18 Q. This document is dated in 1955, but, 19 nevertheless , you read it when you got to the Anniston 20 plant? 21 A. Yes, sir. 22 Q. This document states on page 51, talking 23 about your PCBs, "There is need, therefore, to give 24 warning for the toxicity of these compounds has been 25 repeatedly demonstrated both from a standpoint of the

p1
absorption from the
inspired air as well as from their
2 effects in producing serious and disfiguring dermatitis
3 when allowed to remain in contact with the skin." I want
4 to ask you something. On any warning on any label that
5 Monsanto ever had on any of these drums or tankers or on
6 anything, did that warning include the language that I
7 just read?
8 A. You mean word for word?
9 Q. Yes.
10 A. No.
p11 Q. Would you please turn to page 57, please? I
12 don't know if you've seen this letter. Do you need a
13 minute to look at it?
14 A. It's been a while since I've seen it.
15 MR. CARNEY: What page are we on now?
16 MR. KOTOSKE: 57.
17 Q. I'm interested, Mr. Papageorge, in the last
18 paragraph of this document.
19 THE COURT: On page 57?
20 MR. KOTOSKE: Yes, sir.
21 l5
22
A. I have read the last paragraph. Q. This document is authored by Dr. Emmet Kelly?
23 A. It is.
24 Q. Did you ever discuss the contents of this
25 document with him?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49533
19 1 A. I did back in early 1970, yes, sir. 2 Q. This document says -- And we already know 3 that MCC stands for Monsanto Chemical Company. This 4 document is referring to the toxicity of your P]p CBs; is it 5 not? 6 A. It does. 7 Q. And it says, "Monsanto's position can be 8 summarized in this fashion. We know Aroclors are toxic, 9 but the actual limit has not been precisely defined. It 10 does not make too much difference it seems to me because 11 our main worry is what will happen if an individual 12 develops any type of liver disease and gives a history of 13 Aroclor exposure. I'm sure the juries would no]p t pay a 14 great deal of attention to MAC." Did I read that 15 correctly? 16 A. You did. 17 Q. At any time in the '50's, in the '60's, in 18 the '70's, did the warnings on the labels of the drums and 19 the tankers, or however you sold this stuff, ever contain 20 the language that I just cited - 21 A. No, sir. 22 Q. --in this document? 23 A. No, sir. 24 Q. The fact of]p the matter is in the 1950's you 25 didn't even know how toxic PCBs were; did you?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49534
20 1 A. Well, I hesitate, Mr. Kotoske, because I need 2 some help from you. Will you describe for me what you 3 mean when you use the word "toxic"? 4 Q. I'm going to rely on Dr. Emmet Kelly, the 5 medical director for Monsanto, who indicates he doesn't 6 know how toxic this stuff is. 7 MR. CARNEY: I'm going t]p o object. That 8 mischaracterizes what he said in (inaudible). 9 THE COURT: The letter will speak for itself. 10 Let's proceed. 11 A. What's your question, sir? 12 Q. I'll move on. I want you to turn to page 64. 13 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I don't think he 14 gave the witness a chance to - 15 THE COURT: There was a question. You want 16 to withdraw it? 17 MR]o . CARNEY: I would object to his giving 18 speeches (inaudible). 19 THE COURT: Just drop it. Let's proceed. 20 Q. Turn to page 64. Is this a Monsanto 21 document? 22 A. This is a collection of portions of a 23 Monsanto document. 24 Q. When was it published? 25 A. Well, the date of the document is July 1964.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49535
21 1 Q. It's a Monsanto in-house document?
2 A. Yes. 3 Q. Turn to page 66. Before I ask you this 4 question, was chlorine gas used in the manufacture of 5 PCBs ? 6 A. Yes. 7 Q. Read to the jury what it says about chlorine 8 gas on page 66. 9 A. The entire section? 10 Q. No. Just right across from number one, the 11 chlorine gas. 12 A. "Chlorine gas is a very toxic, corrosive gas. 13 Leaks or highjo pressure can occur to liberate it." 14 Q. Thank you. Would you please turn to page 70? 15 A. I have it. 16 Q. Biphenyls were used in the manufacture of 17 PCBs? 18 A. Biphenyls, yes. 19 Q. Read what it says there about biphenyl. 20 A. "Biphenyl is a flammable material which will 21 burn. Burning should not be done in the presence of 22 biphenyl or biphenyl vapors. The melting poinjo t is 68.7 23 degrees C, flash point 106 degrees C, the fire point is 24 124 degrees C, and the auto ignition temperature is 258 25 degrees C. Inhalation of biphenyl fumes is not

22
1 recommended since it can cause a drugged effect on the
2 person." What does that mean, "drugged effect"? That's
3 what I'm interested in (inaudible).
4 A. Similar to a light alcohol drug,
5 lightheadedness, unsure movements, so on. Q. Would that include dizziness?
7 A. To some people, yes.
Q. Now, I want you to turn to page 75, if you
9 will, and it has a list -
10 A. I have it.
11 Q. And that's your drum weights when you shipped
12 these PCBs out, is that right, 55 or five-gallon drums?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Now, I'm going to -- Mr. Papageorge, I'm
15 going to ask you a series of questions. ]p They're going to
16 sound kind of inane, but a foundation. Everybody knows
17 the answer. I want to make the record. In the '50's,
18 '60's, '70's, was Monsanto in the business of selling
19 PCBs?
20 A. Yes.
21
Q.
It's not difficult.
I've got to ask it. Did
22 you place your PCB products in the stream of commerce?
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. Did you sell theminterstate?
25 A. Yes.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49537
23 1 Q. All right. And I might have asked you. You 2 were engaged in the business of selling PCBs? 3 A. Yes. 4 Q. All right. And when the PCB products that 5 you manufactured left your plant, they left your plant 6 without any substantial change in the specification of 7 PCBs that you (inaudible)? You weren't telling your 8 customer, "Here's one," and then sell them another? 9 A. Oh,]p certainly not. 10 Q. The product, the PCBproducts, were expected 11 to reach and did reach a consumer, Westinghouse, without 12 any change in their conditions as far as you know? 13 A. Not necessarily. 14 Q. How did they change? I'm talking about the 15 time you ship them from your plant until they arrive at 16 the plant at Westinghouse. That's all we're talking 17 about. 18 A. I understand. The Wesjo tinghouse Corporation 19 gave Monsanto a specification of the product they expected 20 when it arrived at their plant. Monsanto shipped -21 Q. Anddid it arrive according to those 22 specifications? 23 A. Yes. But Monsanto shipped a product with a 24 tighter specification to make certain that if there was a 25 change enroute it would still arrive and meet the
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49538
24
p1
specification called for by Westinghouse.
So there were
2 slight changes.
3 Q. They were not substantial changes in the
4 chemical structure?
5 A. Oh, no. No.
6 Q. Those specifications were designed to insure
7 the product arrived without a substantial change in
8 specifications?
9 A. That is correct.
10 Q. I think I'm almost done in this series of
11 questions. You had told us -- Excuse me. Page 78, moving
p12 right through.
13 A. Page 70?
14 Q. 78.
15 MR. CARNEY: Did you say78?
16 MR. KOTOSKE: Yes. 78.
17 A. I have it.
18 Q. These are the corporate minutes of Monsanto
19 with respect to the Corporate Development Committee, dated
20 April 22, 1968. I don't know what the Corporate
21 Development Committee is. What is it I guess is the
22 question?
23 A. Th]o is committee consists of the highest
24 officials in Monsanto Company, and it's chaired by the
25 chairman of the Monsanto board and the chief executive
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49539
25 1 officer. The other members include the executive vice 2 presidents who were responsible for the different areas of 3 activity going on at Monsanto, such as marketing, 4 manufacturing, and so on. And they met on a scheduled 5 basis to discuss the important matters facing the
corporation each month. 7 Q. Fine. And then there's some notes on page 79
of what they concluded, and one of those notes has to do 9 with PCBs. Do you see the last paragraph there? 10 A. I see it. 11 Q. And it says - 12 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I'd like to object 13 just on relevancy grounds. This paragraph has to do with 14 transformers and Therminol. It's a heat transfer. 15 Doesn'Jo t have anything to do with capacitors and PCB. 16 THE COURT: Is it a PCB? 17 MR. KOTOSKE: Yes. 18 MR. CARNEY: Yes, it is. 19 THE COURT: I'm going to allow it with the 20 objection. Let's keep it moving. 21 Q. The Corporate Development Committee decided 22 on April '68, quote, "In the case of Aroclor, the key 23 issue becomes how to significantly increase the sales 24 quotas whip le maintaining the domestic supply position and 25 profitability. It is believed transformers and heating

26
1 systems provide the major opportunities." Have I read
2 that correctly?
3 A. You have.
4 Q. Now, if you'll turn to page 80, this is a
5 Monsanto letter.
6 A. Yes.
7 Q. It was sent to all your customers that used
8 PCBs ?
9 A. No. This was sent to th]p e -
10 THE COURT: Did you say 80?
11 MR. KOTOSKE: Page 80.
12 THE COURT: 80. You said eight. Proceed.
13
Q.
Page 80.
Are you with me?
14 A. I'm with you.
15
Q.
All right.
What is this document?
16 A. This is a Monsanto letter mailed on March the
17 3rd of 1969 to Monsanto customers who purchased PCBs for
18 use in electrical equipment.
p19 Q. And it is authored by Elmer P. Wheeler?
20 A. It is.
21 Q. Who worked with Dr. Kelly?
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. The substance ofthisletter is reporting on
24 what Swedish scientists had found with respect to PCBs and
25 their persistence in the environment; is it not? I was
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49541
27 1 unfair. You may take a minute and look at it. 2 A. It does refer to the Swedish work. It also 3 ref) fers to other work known as of March '69. 4 Q. Now, Mr. Wheeler says in this letter, "The 5 Swedish and American scientists also imply that 6 polychlorinated biphenyls are highly toxic chemicals. 7 This simply (inaudible). This is simply not true." He 8 goes on. "PCBs are not toxic unless they are mishandled 9 or misused." Mr. Papageorge, that's a bald 10 misrepresentation what you knew to be the toxicity of 11 PCBs? 12 ]p A. Sir, that's why I asked earlier for your 13 definition of the word "toxic". The word "toxic" is used 14 by so many people in so many different ways that it's 15 become difficult to communicate using that word unless 16 someone describes it in detail. 17 Q. Turn to the next page of this letter. We're 18 on page 82 at the bottom. 19 A. I see it. 20 Q. Mr. Wheeler goes on, "It is, therefore, not 21 only p]p uzzling, but extremely difficult to conceive how 22 commercially-produced PCB can show up in wildlife as DDT 23 and other pesticides appear to be. This raises the 24 question whether the substance identified in the Swedish 25 work and now in California is actually PCB." Mr.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49542
28
1 Wheeler's position at the time he wrote this letter was
2 whatever these people found, it wasn't PCB?
3
p4
A. No. Mr. Wheeler was just raising the question is it in truth PCBs, which reflected the thinking
5 of scientists working on this PCB/DDT problem.
6 Q. Is that your answer?
7 A. Yes.
8 Q. Shortly after, in fact, a month later, a memo
9 was issued by Monsanto, and it appears on page 83.
10 A. I see it.
11 Q. And it's dated April 14th, 1969; is it not?
12 A. It is.
13 Q. And it's --
14 ]p MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I'm going to object
15 to this memo on relevancy grounds. This is a memo with
16 regard to disposal of Aroclors.
17 THE COURT: We're not to get into disposal,
18 but is there another area in here that's relevant to the
19 issues ?
20 MR. KOTOSKE: Paragraph two is very relevant.
21 THE COURT: I'll allow that, but --
22 MR. CARNEY: Paragraph two has to do with
p23 Pydrauls, Your Honor, the hydraulic fluid.
24 THE COURT: Are Pydrauls PCBs?
25 MR. KOTOSKE: They are.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49543
29 1 THE COURT: I'll allow (inaudible). 2 Q. The letter states quote, "At present we are 3 putting reclaim Aroclor into new Pydraul hydraulic fluid. 4 We can't really satisfy pollution people with this 5 explanation. This will just bring the focal point to 6 hydraulic flujo ids that much sooner." Who were the 7 pollution people that were referred to in this memo? 8 A. Well, Dr. Richard is referring to people - 9 MR. CARNEY: Let me object here. I think 10 this might call for the witness to speculate inside Mr. 11 Richard head. 12 THE COURT: Well, let him answer as best he 13 can. Overruled. You may answer, sir. 14 (Ms. Olliges was replaced by Ms. Carter.) 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49544
30
1 A. Dr. Richard was referring to those
2 individuals who looked upon PCB as a serious environmental
3 problem, and that included people, private citizens,
4 government people, as well as industrial people.
5 Q. That's who he was referring to as the
6 pollution people?
7 A. That was my understanding, yes, sir.
8 Q. Who wrote this memo?
p9 A. Dr. Richard.
10 Q. Who was he?
11 A. He was the director ofresearch or manager of
12 research for products that included PCBs in their makeup.
13 Q. Was he a Monsanto employee?
14 A. Yes.
15 Q. If you will please go ahead now and turn to
16 April 28th, '69. There are more corporate minutes. And
17 they are on pages 85 and 86.
18 A. I have found it, yes.
19
Q.]p
As of April 28, 1966, you were still seeking
20 to expand the production of PCBs, that is, Monsanto?
21 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I'm going to object
22 here. This (inaudible) on relevance grounds. What we are
23 talking about here is a solid Aroclor in a solid form, not
24 in a fluid form. None of this material was sent to
25 (inaudible).
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49545

1 MR. KOTOSKE: (inaudible) PCBs, Your Honor.
2 It exprejo sses the attitude of the (inaudible) .
3 THE COURT: I'm going to allow it on that
4 basis. Overruled. Let's keep it limited.
5 Q. (By Mr. Kotoske) Now, despite what you know
6 and have learned about the persistence of PCB, the Swedish
7 scientists, the problems began to develop in the late
8 '60s, on April 28, 1969, you were seeking to expand PCB
9 production by expansion of the Anniston plant, were you
10 not?
11 p
A. No, sir.
12 Q. What does that mean? And I'll read it.
13 THE COURT: What page are you on again?
14 MR. KOTOSKE: Oh, 86.
15 Q. (By Mr. Kotoske) Are you on page 86?
16 A. Yes, sir.
17 Q. "The president advised that he would
18 recommend to the board of directors for approval -
19 Organic Division Appropriation Request," and then its has
20 its number abbreviajo ted "for $1,100,000 for solid Aroclor
21 expansion-Anniston." What does that mean?
22 A. That refers to a project to expand the
23 facilities for making another line of products that had
24 the trademark Aroclor, but they were not PCBs. These are
25 different chemicals.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49546
32
1 Q. The chemicals called Aroclors didn't have
2 PCBs in them?
3 A. Yes, sir.
4 Q. Turn to the corporate min]p utes on November 17,
5 1969, that appear on page 87.
6 A. I have it.
7 Q. Mr. Wheeler now discussed the environmental
8 aspects of PCBs, does he not?
9
A.
That's reportedhere, yes,
sir.
10 Q. And you now know for sure that "5 and 6
11 chlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1254 and 1260) have been
12 found at limited locations in water, in birds and some
13 forms of aquatic life. Recent indications are th]p at such
14 biphenyls may affect reproduction of fowl life and may be
15 toxic to shrimp." And he says, "These products are not
16 toxic from the acute standpoint to man or fish." Do you
17 see that?
18 A. I do.
19 Q. Do you know that to be true?
20 A. That's my understanding, yes, sir.
21 Q. Despite what you told us?
22 A. I'm sorry?
23 Q. Despite what you have told us yesterjo day and
24 today?
25 A. I don't know that I mentioned anything about

acute toxicity.
Q. The memo goes on on page 89 where the company
reached some conclusions. Do you see that at the bottom
of page 89?
A. I believe I do, yes.
Q. And the company concludes, "In light of the
recent and developing evidence of a possible threat to
,pcertain species of birds
aquatic life, we should plan to
discontinue the manufacture of Aroclors 1254 and 1260.
The division is instructed to develop a program to
discontinue these products" and report back. That was in
1969, was it not?
A. Yes, sir.
Q.
But, nevertheless, youcontinued
to
manufacture those things, did you not?
A. No.
Q. 1254?
A. Yes.
Q. A.
Q.
1242? Yes.
Why didn't you just stop the whole problem
right there? Why didn't Monsanto just stop it?
A. That would havebeen anirresponsible act on
Monsanto's part because these materials, we kept getting
assurance from our customers, were very critical in the

34 manufacture of electrical equipment, and we believe that sincerely.
Q. You believe that the elecjo trical equipment was more important than the environment?
A. No, I didn't say that. Q. I know you didn't say that, but isn't that the conclusion you've drawn? Monsanto took the position in 1969 you could have stopped the production of PCBs altogether. You took the position that the electrical industry, Westinghouse, General Electric, McGraw-Edison and the rest of them, your customers who reaped profits for your coffers were more important than the environment and human health? A. That is not true. Q. You continued to make PCBs even after 1969? A. That is correct. Q. Would you please turn to page 90. I wonder if you've seen this letter before. I've discussed it with Dr. Kelly. And we referred to it the other day, I believe. A. Have I seen this particular l]p etter? Q. Yes. A. It was addressed to me, yes, sir. Q. This letter is dated March 30, 1970. And he's discussing a PCB product, and you knew it by the name
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49549
35 1 'Krumar,' did you not? 2 A. 'Krumar' was a -- Yes, that was the term used 3 to describe this particular mixture. 4 Q. It contained PCBs, did it not? 5 A. Yes . 6 Q. And you p painted -- people used it to paint 7 the inside of silos, did they not? 8 A. Yes . 9 Q. And it leached the PCB into the food that was 10 to be fed animals, in this particular case cows? 11 A. Yes . 12 Q. And the dairy milk became polluted with PCBs, 13 did it not? 14 A. Some of it. 15 Q. And the people drank the milk? 16 A. Some of it, yes. 17 Q. Andp people became polluted with PCBs, did 18 they not? 19 A. That I don't know. I don't have any evidence 20 to show me that. 21 Q. And Dr. Kelly was warning you in early 1970 22 that "We've got to tell the people or we are going to have 23 serious legal problems and publicity concerns," didn't he? 24 A. That's what he says. 25 Q. What did you do in response to that study
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49550
36 1 because n]p ow you're in charge of the environmental program 2 we discussed yesterday; isn't that right? 3 A. I don't know that I would use the word "in 4 charge." 5 Q. Well, (inaudible) but - 6 A. There were others who were heading it up. I 7 was helping them. 8 Q. What did you do? 9 A. In response to this letter? 10 Q. Yes. 11 A. I got in touch with Dr. Kelly and infojo rmed 12 him that he hadn't caught up with this yet. We had 13 already embarked on a program to phase out of that 14 particular application that he was talking about here. 15 Q. How long did that take (inaudible)? 16 A. Well, we finally -- we started this 17 particular activity in about December of '69, and we 18 totally stopped all sales to the paint applications in 19 August 30, 1970. 20 Q. Let's go to April 20,]p 1970, and we'll look at 21 some more corporate minutes on page 92. 22 A. I have it. 23 Q. The corporate minutes indicate, "Publicity 24 about PCBs has been limited to a few articles in 25 scientific publications and newspapers until Congressman
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49551
37
1 Ryan's press conference" -- Oh, my. Let me repeat that
2 again. "Publicity about PCBs has been limited to a few
3 articles in scientific publications and newspjo apers until
4 Congressman Ryan's press conference, implicating Monsanto
5 and the products." What were the products that the
6 corporate officers were talking about?
7 A. The PCB products.
8 Q. And what did you -- Do you know what -- They
9 use the word "implicate" Monsanto. At this particular
10 point in time nobody in Congress knew to what extent you
11 had distributed and manufactured PCBs, had they?
12
A.]p
As of 1970, yes, many -- Did you say
13 Congress? I'm sorry.
14 Q. Congress did not know the scope of your
15 production. You hadn't given them sales figures, had you?
16 A. That is true.
17 Q. At this point in time they didn't even know
18 who all your customers were, did they?
19 A. That is true.
20 Q. And whereas Congress was trying to deal with
21 the scope of the PCB problem, they cap me to you and asked
22 you for a customer list, didn't they?
23 A. Congress never asked me for a customer list.
24
Q.
You're quite correct.
EPA. Tell me what
25 federal agency asked you for a customer list?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49552
38 1 A. Representatives from the EPA did, yes, sir. 2 Q. And (inaudible) 3 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, may we approach the 4 bench, please? 5 (A benchjo conference was held.) 6 THE COURT: Why don't we go for about another 7 15 minutes, Mr. Kotoske? You may proceed. 8 Q. (By Mr. Kotoske) I want you to turn to page 9 94. By this time, Mr. Papageorge, Monsanto knew that 10 Congress was coming after Monsanto as a manufacturer of 11 PCBs ? 12 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I object to that as 13 a foul mischaracterization of the record of what Congress 14 (inaujo dible). I think he's mischaracterizing the record. 15 MR. KOTOSKE: I'll rephrase. 16 THE COURT: All right. Rephrase. 17 Q. (By Mr. Kotoske) Who was Congressman Ryan? 18 A. Congressman Ryan was the Congressman from 19 Manhattan, New York, who in 1969 -- Let me think -- '70 20 and '71 became interested in PCBs and attempted to enact 21 legislation regarding PCBs. 22 Q. He was a federal Congrejo ssman? 23 A. Yes, sir. 24 Q. And he was trying to enact legislation to 25 totally ban the production, manufacturing of PCBs; isn't
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49553
39
1 that right?
2 A. He tried to do that at his second attempt.
3 Q. In fact, he submitted legislation to Congress
4 to make it a criminal act to even manufacture this stuff?
5 A. As I remember, that is correct.
6 Q. On page 94, h]p ave you seen this letter before?
7 A. I don't believe I've seen the letter, no,
8 srr.
9 Q. It's from NEMA, National Electrical
10 Manufacturers Association?
11 A. It is.
12 Q. And you were selected to be the chairman of
13 that committee we discussed yesterday to coordinate a
14 response to Congress' effort to control PCBs both in the
15 water, in the ground. Do you remember that?
16
A]p .
First of all, I was not chairman of the NEMA
17 committee.
18 Q. I understand. It's ANSI?
19 A. It's the ANSI committee. And the committee
20 met to draw up a standard on the proper way to handle PCBs
21 which had no relationship to what Congress was or was not
22 thinking about PCBs.
23 Q. You wanted to have a coordinated position,
24 did you not?
25 A. Well, certainly for a common effort, for a
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49554
40 1 common good. 2 Q. And that included Monsanto, Westinghouse, 3 General Electric, McGraw-Edison, Saginaw Weston and all 4 the (inaudible) and transformer manufacturers, not all of 5 them, but most of them? 6 A. And the EPA, the Department of Defense, 7 Department of Interior, the TVA Authority and many other 8 groups, yes. 9 MR. KOTOSKE: Your Honor, this is a 10 convenient^) place, and I will pick up with Mr. Papageorge' s 11 speech. If you'd like me to go into it now, I can. 12 THE COURT: Yes. Let's get into it. 13 Q. (By Mr. Kotoske) You gave a speech, if 14 you'll turn to page 100. Is that a speech you gave? 15 A. I didn't think of it as a speech. I 16 personally looked upon it as a status report on what I 17 knew of what Monsanto knew about PCBs and was sharing it 18 with this c]p ommittee that we just talked about, the ANSI 19 committee. 20 Q. For the record, that committee has a number, 21 it's ANSI, A-N-S-I, right? 22 A. Correct. 23 Q. And it was number 107, I believe, wasn't it? 24 A. It was C-107. 25 Q. I stand corrected. You're absolutely right,
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49555
41
1 C-107. So when we talk about ANSI 107, that is the
2 committee that you chaired; is that truejo ?
3 A. True.
4 Q. And that contained a membership of
5 Westinghouse, General Electric and so forth?
6 A. The group we described earlier, yes.
7 Q. These were the electrical equipment
8 manufacturing people in part?
9 A. In part, yes.
10 Q. All right. And this speech was given to the
11 ANSI committee; is that right?
12 A. Yes.
13
Q.
All right.]o
Before you gave these remarks,
14 did you think about what you were writing down here? Did
15 you intend to be careful and accurate?
16 A. As much as I could be, yes.
17 Q. Did you go back to the company records and
18 try to reconstruct as best you could what you knew about
19 PCBs at the time?
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. All right. You said on the first page, the
22 second paragraph, "We at Monsanto first heap rd of PCBs as a
23 potential environmental contaminant in early 1967 when we
24 received copies of a talk given in Sweden by Professors
25 Widmark and Jensen of the University Stockholm." Is that
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49556
42
1 statement correct?
2 A. It's correct in terms of copies of the talk.
3 It is incorrect in that we first heard of it in late ' 66
4 initially.
5 Q. You first were aware in 1966?
p6
A.
November
or so of '66. And then this copy of
7 a talk confirmed that initial report.
8 Q. Now, I'm going to go down to the last
9 paragraph on this page, and you say, "During this period
10 Monsanto mounted an extensive program aimed at acquiring
11 more knowledge about PCBs and their effects on the
12 environment. We provided our analytical methods, and we
13 started animal toxicity studies," and so forth. Those
14 animal toxicity studies wer]o e the IBT studies?
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. Page 2, "Our animal toxicity work was similar
17 to the type we would have undertaken if we had wished to
18 have FDA approval for food use." Is that what you told
19 the people?
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. These were the IBT studies?
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. Still on the same page. "To summarize what I
p24
have said about Monsanto's sponsored animal toxicity
work,

43 1 you go on to describe that they are toxic to some animals; 2 is that right? 3 A. Well, I prefer that you read what I have. 4 "Does have some effect on animals." 5 Q. Were you relying on the IBT studies? 6 A. Yes, sir. 7 Q. Now, if the studies weren't published until 8 November 12, 1974, and this speech was g]p iven in September 9 of '74, how did you know about those IBT studies? 10 A. This particular talk was dated '71. 11 Q. Pardon me? 12 A. By September '71 I had information regarding 13 the results of the studies. It took from September to 14 November of that year for the typing to be completed and 15 the printing process to be completed and the copies to be 16 distributed. 17 Q. Let me understand what yo]o u're saying. You 18 knew prior to the time the actual studies were finally 19 concluded what the results of the studies were? 20 A. What the principal, overall results, yes, 21 sir. I was getting reports every six to eight months on 22 the progress of the study. 23 Q. Now, you told us about three people that went 24 down to IBT and actually looked at the raw data. One of 25 them was Mr. Wheeler. The other was, I believe, a

44 Dr. Hunt, and the third guy was Levinskas, all Monsanto employees, right?
A. They were Monsanto employees. I didn't know that I said they looked at raw data. They visited the laboratory and discussed in a professional way whatever toxicologists do.
Q. You told us yesterday that they reported on the raw data to you, and you testified yesterday that they told you that those studjo ies would be conducted according to protocol?
MR. CARNEY: I don't think he's exactly summarizing, as I heard it, what the testimony was. I think he's mischaracterizing.
THE COURT: I'll let the witness disagree if he wants to disagree. It's overruled. You may answer, sir.
A. I was kept informed that they were following the protocol. I know nothing about raw data. That's two
different areas, as I see it. Q. (By Mr. Kotoske) What kind of information
were you receiving on a periodic basis from IBT? A. I was receiving nothing from IBT. Q. Well, you just told us you were receiving
reports. A. From Mr. Wheeler. He would give me a two- or

TOWOLDMONOQ49559
45 1 three-page summary about a paragraph or two on each of the 2 studies as to the findings to date.jp 3 Q. And did Mr. Wheeler ever tell you what he 4 based his conclusions on? Did he say, "Bill, I went down 5 and looked at the raw data. It looks good to me. Here's 6 my summary of what I found"? 7 A. That's roughly what he did, yes, sir. 8 Q. Did Mr. Levinskas do the same thing? Did he 9 go down there, come back and say, "Hey, Bill, I've been 10 down to IBT. I looked at the raw data. This is according 11 ]o to protocol." Is that roughly what happened? 12 A. Mr. Levinskas, if he did that, would have 13 told Mr. Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler would have communicated to 14 me. 15 Q. How about Bill -- Is Mr. Hunt's first name 16 William? 17 A. William Hunt, yes, sir. 18 Q. Did he tell you, "Papageorge, I went down to 19 IBT. I looked at the raw data. It's according to 20 protocol"? Did he come back and tell you]o that? 21 A. Not to me directly, no. 22 Q. He would have told that to 23 A. Mr. Wheeler, his boss. 24 Q. Then told you? 25 A. Mr. Wheeler was my contact

TOWOLDMONOQ49560
46 1 Q. That's how it worked? 2 A. Yes. 3 MR. KOTOSKE: This is a convenient place, 4 Your Honor. 5 THE COURT: All right. We'll stop for ten 6 minutjo es. We'll take a ten-minute break. Do not discuss 7 the case among yourselves or with others. Let's keep it 8 to ten minutes, please. 9 (A recess was taken.) 10 Q. (By Mr. Kotoske) We are on page 103 of 11 Exhibit 11, to your remarks to the ANSI committee. 12 A. I have it. 13 Q. And you told the committee, last paragraph on 14 that page, "There is a growing concern that we should be 15 con]o sidering to a greater degree chronic effects of all 16 these materials rather than relying on old acute studies 17 that used to serve as a screening for many, many 18 chemicals." Have I readthat correctly? 19 A. You did. 20 Q. When you referto all these materials, were 21 you referring to PCBs? 22 A. Yes. 23 Q. And in this vein you were conducting the IBT 24 studies to get more current toxicity informjo ation, were you 25 not?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49561
47
1 A. Yes.
2 Q. Going on, page 6, that would be 105. You
3 told the committee, "We have questions raised, 'Is it in
4 my shower curtains at home? Is it in my draperies, in my
5 carpet?' The answer to those is 'Not very likely,' and I
6 use those words because we really don't know." At this
7 point in time you had no -- Monsanto had no knowledge of
8 how far and how wi]p de the PCB problem was?
9 A. I wouldn't say we had no knowledge. We had
10 considerable knowledge. We lacked some detailed knowledge
11 on those sales that were made by distributors. That's the
12 only area where we didn't know what the final use would
13 be.
14 Q. Let me ask you the question point blank. You
15 did not know how toxic, you did not know the outer limits
16 of the toxicity of PCBs at this time?
p17 A. I need help with that word "toxic" because
18 the extreme can be death, as we all know, but the word
19 "toxic" is used in my understanding to describe any
20 unwanted effect by a material on a living creature.
21 Q. Thank you. You did not know how far and how
22 wide PCB pollution was? You did not know to what extent
23 it had contaminated the milk supply in 1971?
24 A. No one knew. That's true.
p25
Q.
You did
not know how far the water systems
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49562
48
1 had been contaminated?
2 A. That is true.
3 Q. You did not know how far and wide the fish
4 stocks in this country were contaminated?
5 A. That is true.
6 Q. You did not know and you still do not know to
7 what extent the human population is contaminated?
8 A. That is true. No one knows.
p9
Q.
Would you agree with me
that to produce a
10 chemical like this without knowing these outer parameters
11 is reckless and done with conscious disregard for the
12 rights of the human citizens in this country?
13 A. No, I don't agree with you at all on that.
14 Q. Thank you. Page 111, secondparagraph,
15 "Because of this incident, Congressman Ryan withdrew the
16 first bill that was submitted and now has placed before
p17
the same committee a bill which
would totally ban PCB and
18 does not provide for any use whatsoever." By 1971 you
19 knew there was a Congressional effort to ban this stuff?
20 A. There was one Congressman's effort, yes.
21 Q. And you objected to what he was doing?
22 A. Certainly.
23 Q. It would have a tremendous impact on the
24 profitability of Monsanto and the sales from PCBs?
25 A. No. At thattime the profitability was
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49563
49 1 inconsequential to Monsanto. 2 Q. How much was it? 3 A. I don't recall a number, sir, but it was not 4 a star, if I use that word, product for Monsanto. 5 Q. Why didn't Monsanto just quit (inaudible)? 6 A. Because there was no fire-resistent 7 alternative available to use in this electrical equipment, 8 and it would be irresponsible to put products out there 9 that would resujp It in explosions and fires. I don't 10 believe I would like to stay in a Holiday Inn with a 11 transformer outside my door that might explode and burn on 12 me. That's the kind of situation that existed. 13 Q. There are thousands of transformers out there 14 today with PCBs in them? 15 A. Yes, there are. 16 Q. There are thousands of capacitors out there 17 today with PCBs in them? 18 A. Yes, there are.jp 19 Q. PCBs which you manufactured? 20 A. Right. 21 Q. Page 111, "We feel we have good technical 22 data to justify our staying in the business for limited 23 applications, but we cannot overlook the emotions that 24 have set in. And believe me, there are many and they are 25 deep." Continuing, "This is a real problem. In my
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49564
50
1 opinion it is a difficult problem." Is that what you told
p2 the committee?
3 A. Well, you've skipped several sentences.
4 Q. I understand that I did. Is there anything
5 else that you would like to read?
6 A. Let me read and see what -- because that last
7 statement may refer to what you didn't read.
8 Q. Go right ahead.
9 A. Now, I've forgotten yourquestion.
10 Q. Did you make those statements to the
11 committee?
12
A.]o
Yes, I did.
13 Q. And then you tell the committee on page 113,
14 "A thought we must all keep in mind, too, is that we've
15 got to live with the PCBs we introduced into the
16 environment for the past 40 years. They have not
17 disappeared overnight. They will not disappear overnight.
18 We do not have any tests that tell us how long it will
19 take." Did you make that statement?
20 A. I did.
lip21
Q. Page
4, you told the committee, "I will
22 attempt to summarize. I think we can conclude that PCBs
23 are in the environment. There is no question about it.
24 Many of these PCBs are man-made and were introduced into
25 the environment because of our lack of understanding of
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49565
51 1 what these materials can do to the environment. In this 2 country Monsanto as the sole producer has attempted to 3 improve the situation by limiting the applicajo tions of 4 these materials to which these materials are used." Why 5 didn't you just stop right there? Why didn't you stop 6 making PCBs if you didn't have the understanding? If 7 Monsanto didn't have the understanding, why didn't you 8 just stop? 9 A. Not having understanding, sir, of how a 10 chemical is going to behave in the environment doesn't 11 mean that that chemical cannot be used for its benefits as 12 long as it' s]p not allowed to get into the environment. And 13 this was the intent that Monsanto had in mind. Let's 14 benefit from the safety features, keep it out of the 15 environment so you don't introduce these unknown questions 16 as to what's happening in the environment. 17 Q. Page 115, "In my personal opinion the emotion 18 that is now prevailing regarding PCBs is something that we 19 must contend with. Whether we believe in it or not, there
p20 are many people that sincerely believe PCBs should be
21 totally banned." Did you make that statement? 22 A. I did. 23 Q. And Congress did, in fact, ban them by 24 (inaudible)? 25 A. Yes, many years later.

52 1 Q. Fine. (inaudible) October 17, 1976. When 2 this speech was made was September 14, 1971? 3 A. Sir, as I understand it, in '76 Congress gave 4 the EPA authojo rity to consider regulating PCBs. 5 Q. Would you please turn to 116? 6 A. I have it. 7 Q. This is a letter? 8 A. It is. 9 Q. Dr. Levinskas, Monsanto Company? 10 A. He is the addressee,recipient. 11 Q. And he is being told on June 14, 1973 - 12 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, may I object before 13 we get into this? Why don't you take a look at the 14 let]p ter, if you would.. I think you might object to the 15 obvious. 16 THE COURT: Yeah, it depends on how you're 17 going to use it. 18 MR. KOTOSKE: Exactly. 19 THE COURT: Be careful of the contents. Do 20 you want to come over or not? 21 MR. CARNEY: All I'm saying is the obvious we 22 all see. 23 THE COURT: Stay away from that. 24 MR. CARNEY: And, in addijo tion, the letter 25 isn't concerned with PCBs, at least the first two

53 1 paragraphs. 2 THE COURT: I'm going to let Mr. Kotoske 3 proceed, pursuant to my earlier ruling and trust that he 4 will steer the questioning the right way. 5 MR. KOTOSKE: I understand. 6 Q. (By Mr. Kotoske) Renate Kimbrough on October 7 14, 1971, was advising Monsanto of other toxic problems 8 associated^) with PCBs. 9 MR. CARNEY: Objection, Your Honor. That's 10 not true, and it's, I think, in violation of the order. 11 THE COURT: Come on over. 12 (A bench conference was held.) 13 (Ms. Pape replaced Ms. Carter.) 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

p3 Kim--Renate Kimbrough of October 14, 1971. Attached to this
4 letter are two studies showing toxical effects from exposure 5 to PCBs? 6 A. There are --I see what I think are reports from 7 three different studies. 8 Q. Correct. 9 MR. KOTOSKE: Three reports is correct, Your Honor. 10 Q. Three reports. The toxic effects on animals 11 from exposure to PCBs--you can answer that yes or no be]o cause 12 we have a ruling. 13 THE COURT: Just answer yes or no. 14 A. This first article is strange to me. I have 15 to read it over. This is the first I've seen it. I -- 16 Q. How about the other two articles? 17 A. The other two, the answer is yes. 18 Q. Now, at this time in 1971, did Monsanto have a 19 screening program for its workers involving cell tissue-take 20 a biopsy of]p the skin to see if there was any problems? 21 A. No, sir. 22 Q. Turn to page 123. I want you to look at pages 23 123, 129. Tell us what it is, when it's dated. Then I'm 24 gonna ask you some questions about it. 25 A. The pages you refer to are parts of a Monsanto

p7 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I'm gonna object on
8 relevancy grounds (inaudible). 9 THE COURT: (Inaudible)
10 (A discussion was had at the Bench.) 11 THE COURT: You may proceed. 12 Q. 'Barphenyl'--biphenyl is a component of PCB?
13 A. I wouldn't call it a component, sir. It's a 14 material you start with to make PCBs.

A. I agrejo e. Q. Chronic local toxicity rating is unknown? A. Correct. Q. Let's go to page 126. It states, "Biphenyl vapors are irritating to the upper respiratory tract. Workers should not be exposed to vapor levels throughout their shift in excess of the threshold limit values of one milligram per cubic meter of air"--or about two--pardon me--.2 parts per million. "The compound, or organic solutions of the compound can absorb through the intact skin; therefore, repeated skin contact should be avoided." True? Is that what it says? A. That's what it says for biphenyl, not PCBs now. Q. Turn to page 130. A. I have it. Q. This document is dated January 25, 1972. And I'm interested in paragraph 3. What we're looking at is a report to the Januajo ry meeting of the board of directors of the status of PCB implementation program. Is that the board of directors of the company? A. Yes, sir. Q.

9 to quickly summarize Monsanto's position regajo rding water
10 standards. 11 Q. I understand. I'm gonna read a couple things 12 here from this letter that you wrote, and I'm going to ask
13 you whether that's correct. On page 148. "Monsanto has been 14 a major manufacturer of chemical products since 1901." Is 15 that true? 16 A. That's true. 17 Q. You go on, "The chemical structure of PCB has 18 been known for nearly 100 years. It was not untiljo the late 19 1920s that a use for PCB was found--as a dielectric fluid in
20 transformers and capacitors." Is that true? 21 A. That's true. 22 Q. "Monsanto began the commercial production of
23 PCBs in 1929." Is that true? 24 A. Not technically. The company purchased by 25 Monsanto started in 1929.

1 Q. Well, is the statement that you gave the EPA

true or not?
(]p Inaudible)?
3 A. Well, I don't either, sir. To me, Swann
4 Chemical and Monsanto are the same thing.
5
Q.
Thank you.
"Today"--page 150--"PCB
6 manufactured by Monsanto Company is sold to the electrical
7 industry where it is used in closed systems as a dielectric
8 fluid in transformers and capacitors." Is that true?
9 A. I have lost the page, sir.
10 Q. Top sentence, page 150. 11 ]p A. 150? That's true. 12 Q. Same page starting with recognizing.

2 A. 172.
3 Q. I want to talk to you about this meeting.
4 Yeah, 172. Now, I can't expect you to read that whole

6 A. Certainly.
7 p Q. All right. Are you familiar with it?
8 A. Yes, sir.
9 Q. All right.
10 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I would object here. This

68
2 A. That is correct.
3p
Q. "The purpose of the meeting"--reading from the
4 document--"was to share information, experiences and
5 impressions"--
6 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I'm gonna object.
7 Q. --"to help each of the participating
8 companies" --
9
MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I'm gonna object here.
I
10 think this is something that's covered by your ruling you
11 just made.
12
THE COURT:
I'm gonna o]o verrule the objection.
I do
13
admit it uses some of the language therein.
I'm gonna let
14 him do it with cross examination--you have the right to bring
15 out the fact that it's--there is some irrelevancy in the
16 general purpose, but he can ask the question. Go ahead.
17
Q.
Let me start over.
First of all, you are the
18 chairman (inaudible)?
19 A. Yes, sir.
20 Q. And the purpose of the meeting is statjo ed.
21 "The purpose of the meeting was to share information,
22 experiences and impressions to help each of the participating
23 companies in taking appropriate actions which are mutually
24 supportive and effective in persuading the administration of
25 EPA to modify the proposed PCB Effluent Standard." That was

69
1 the idea of it all, right?
2 A. Yes .
3 Q. Now, I want--I want to know the particp ipants
4
Turn to the next page.
Because they're listed here, are they
5 not?
6 A. They are.
7 Q. General Electric well-attended by three
8 persons; is that true?
9 A. Well, this is the anticipated list of
10
attendees.
I--
11 Q. You don't deny that Westinghouse had
12 representatives there?
13 A. Yes, but I don't know if they are these
14 specific individp uals listed.
15
Q.
I don't care about that.
I want to know if
16 there were representatives there from General Electric.
17 A. There were.
18 Q. From Westinghouse?
19 A. Yes .
20 Q. Monsanto?
21 A. Yes .
22 Q. You had scheduled to be there yourself.

A. Yes .
Q. And Mr. Paul Wright?
6
A. Yes.
Q. Manager, Toxicology?
3 A. Yes .
4 Q. You had--you had an agenda prepared for this
5 meeting, did you not?
6 A. Yes, sir.
7 Q. And one of the sections in that agenda was
8 toxicity --acute and chronic. We're talking about human
9 beings here, are we not?
10
A.
No, everything.
All known toxicity.
Fish,
11 birds--whatever p was known.
12 Q. Including humans?
13 A. Yes .
14 Q. Now, as one reads through this memorandum,
15 each participant--General Electric had certain tasks to
16 perform, Westinghouse had certain tasks that they were gonna
17 perform, and you were gonna have a coordinated effort with
18 respect to the electrical industry's presentation to the EPA
19 in connection with its efforts to regulate PCBs; is that
20 p true?
21 A. That is true, yes, sir.
22 Q. Now, I want you to bear with me for a minute.
23 I want to look at the section that Paul Wright was
24
(inaudible).
Do you see, for example, on page 164--I want to
25 read the --at the bottom. You on page 164?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49584
1 A. I am.
70
2 Q. "Mr. Wright (Monsanto) went through the
3 rationale used by EPA in arriving at a PCB discharge
4
p maximum"--and then it's stated.
"He also showed how the
5 standard could be changed" --
6 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I think we're talking
7 about --
8 Q. --"and yet be" --
9 MR. CARNEY: Objection, Mr. Kotoske. Here we're
10 talking about clearly the area of effluents. And I think
11 your ruling--
12 MR. KOTOSKE: That's not what--
13 14]o
15
MR. CARNEY: That is what this case is about.
THE COURT:
I know that.
I'm gonna let --I'm gonna
overrule the objection.
I stand by my earlier ruling about
16 that other issue.
17
MR. KOTOSKE:
You know what I'm doing, Judge.
I'm
18 not interested in how much PCBs in (inaudible).
19 THE COURT: You're allowed to continue as long as
20 you remember what my rulings are and how (inaudible).
21 Q. Back on page 146--and I'm gonna read it again
22 p because I was interrupted--"Mr. Wright of Monsanto went
23 through the rationale used by EPA in arriving at a PCB
24 discharge maximum. . . He also showed how the standard could
25 be changed and yet be consistent with published data on
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN TOWOLDMONOQ49585
71
1 PCBs." Were you present when he gave those remarks?
2 A. Yes.
3 Q. Now, I want to do one other thing. You
4 decided amongst yourselves at this meeting that youp were
5
gonna make a presentation to the EPA.
I'm on page 172.
6 A. I have it.
7 Q. You were definitely gonna show up--somebody
8 from Monsanto was gonna appear; is that right?
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. Were you gonna do yours by way of affidavit or
11 what? I will tell you that your vice-president, Fitzgerald,
12 showed up to testify in this (inaudible). Were you gonna put
13 in some technicap 1 data?
14 A. I am confused by your statement --
15 Mr. Fitzgerald showing up at a water effluent standards
16 meeting.
17 Q. No, I'm talking about the data. How were you
18 gonna carry out the role that you were given?
19 A. For the effluent standards?
20 Q. Yes.
21 A. Personally be present and read from a prepared
22 outline.
23 Q. And then GE was given certainp tasks on page
24 172?
25 A. Yes.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49586
72
1 Q. And they were gonna explain why PCBs are
2 used--the consequence of a ban and so forth?
3 A. Yes.
4 Q. What was Westinghouse's role?
5 A. Supportive of GE.
6 Q. Now, were GE, Westinghouse and Monsanto the
7 three major players in this effort to persuade EPA to change
8 standards of--to regulatejo PCBs?
9 A. I don't know how to describe--they were, of
10 course, the bigger companies represented, but there were
11 others there that were just as interested and just as active.
12 Q. All right. Now, turn to page 174. That's a
13 letter from Monsanto to the EPA enclosing your affidavit?
14 A. It is.
15 Q. And there appears your affidavit to the EPA
16 under oath; isn't that true?
17 A. True.
18 Q. Let's move through a little
19
inaudible).
If you'll turn to page 189.
20 A. I have it.
21 Q. That's your signature?
22 A. Yes, it is.
23 Q. You signed this affidavit?
24 A. Yes .
25 Q. Under oath?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49587
1 A. Yes.
73
2 Q. Penalty of perjury if it's--if there were
3 an]p ything false?
4 A. That's my understanding.
5 Q. Sent it to EPA?
6 A. Yes.
7 Q. Concerns PCBs?
8 A. Yes.
9
Q. Attempts by EPA toregulate
PCBs?
10 A. In waterways, yes.
11 Q. You state on page 175, "I am a member and have
12 served as chairman of a committee of the National Electrical
13 Manufacturers Association which has reviewed th]p e
14 environmental effects of PCBs and has recommended procedures
15 to users of PCBs which should minimize the possibility of
16 entry of PCBs into the environment." Did you make that
17 statement?
18 A. Yes, sir.
19
Q. Next page. You state,
"The proposed effluent
20 standards for PCBs are unwarranted and practically and
21 economically unattainable." Did you make that statement?
22
23 p
A. I did.
Q. Did you believe when you signed this document
24 that PCBs should not be regulated?
25 A. Yes, I did.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49588
74
1 Q. You stated, "The definition of PCBs in section
2 129.09a, Subpart I, should be changed to read"--and then you
3 suggest a definition of PCBs?
4 A. Yes.
5 Q. Don't you?
6 A. Yes, I did.
7 Q. And then you go on, "The pp roposed PCB effluent
8 standard is based on inadequate toxicity information, on
9 nontypical fish species and on an unusually high and
10 artificial bioaccumulation factor." Did you make that
11 statement?
12 A. Yes, I did.
13 Q. Where did you get that information from?
14 A. Got that from our own Monsanto scientists.
15 Q. Who?
16 A. Well, it depended on the type of informatiop n.
17 The toxicity information came out of Mr. Wheeler's office.
18 Q. Thank you. That's all I need to know. The
19 upshot of this affidavit was your objection--Monsanto's
20 objections to the regulation of PCBs in water?
21 A. It's the objection to an unreasonable level in
22 water.
23 Q. What did you think was a reasonable amount of
24
PCBs in water?
(Inaudible.)
Was there -- strike that
25 questip on. Was it Monsanto's position at the time you sent
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49589
75
that affidavit to the EPA that there was a reasonable amount
of PCBs that people should tolerate in their drinking water?
A. We're not talking drinking water, sir.
Q. What kind of water are we talking about?
A. Water in the natural streams in the
environment.
Q. People, of course, don't drink that?
p
A.
Well, I mean I can't say that.
Some people
do.
Q. How much did you think was reasonable for us
to have in our waterways ?
A. In our waterways? We were convinced that ten
parts per billion in the waterways was something that the
environment could cope with and tolerate and would cause no
harm.
Q. You figured in your collective wisdom over
here at corporate headquartjo ers that this country could stand
to have ten parts per billion in the water?
A. As the maximum.
Q. Okay.
A. Yes, sir.
(Ms . Pape was replaced by Ms. Olliges.)
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49590
76
1 Q. Would you turn to page 184? It says there
2 the cumulative sales of PCBs in the United States since
3
1930 has been estimated to be about 500,000 tons.
Is that
4
p5
6
true?
A. Q.
As best as I could determine, yes. And that the total world production was
7 probably one million tons?
A. That was the number used by all the
9 authorities at that time, yes, sir.
10 Q. Monsanto produced half of all the PCBs on
11 this planet?
12 A. I haven't made a comparison of the two. We
13
did make quite a few of them.
I don't know if it was a
14 half or not.
15
Q. Another statement you make, page (181),
16 "Although many reports have been published on the subject
17 of polychlorinated biphenyls and living organisms, the
18 majority of these describe the presence of PCB in the
19
environment.
Presence should not be assumed to imply
20 adverse effect." What did you mean by that?
21 A. I meant that the mere fact that the
22 analytical chemist with his sophisticated instrument was
23 p able to detect the chemical in an environmental sample did
24 not necessarily mean that that PCB had caused any harm or
25
was going to cause any harm.
It depended on too many

other conditions regarding what kind of place it was in
and what creatures were near it and so on.
Q. Please go forward in the exhibit to page 191.
This is a letter addressed to you from Westinghouse dated
February 3, A.
Q.
1975; is it not? It is.
Did you receive it?
A. Yes.
Q. And in this letter, Westinghouse is asking
Monsanto about the toxic effects of this chemical, PCBs,
and they attach to it a list of questions.
Did you read
those questions?
A. Certainly.
Q.
I'd like to read a few of them.
First, the
cover letter says, "Attached you'll find the list of
questions^ that have been asked by our employees regarding
the use of Inerteen. Mr. Garry Wilburn, our Engineering
Manager, felt if these questions could be answered you
would be the man to answer them." Is that what it says?
A. It does.
Q.
Let's look at thequestions
that the
Westinghouse employees are asking in 1975.
MR. CARNEY: Let me object. He
mischaracterizes. This is a plant in South Boston,
Virginia. He's implying it's Bloomington.

THE COURT: That's correct. MR. KOTOSKE: It's a Westinghouse -
THE COURT: Do you accept that correction?
MR. KOTOSKE: Of course I do.
THE COURT: Let's proceed. Q. We all know that. These Westinghouse
employees are asking questions. What do they make at that
Westinghouse pl]p ant in Virginia?
A. Transformers. Electrical transformers.
Q.
Here's one of the questions.
"Question -
Does Inerteen have permanent effects on the human body? If so, what type of permanent damage and how long a period
of time does it take for this to develop? If not, explain
why, if possible." You think that was an important
question to ask?
A. Certainly.
Q.
Here's another p question (inaudible).
"Since
Inerteen effects birds and other animals, if there is no
real effect on human beings, how do you explain it to the
employees in such a way that they will understand why you
can kill a bird and not a human?" Did you think that
question was important?
A. Yes. Q. "If an employee spills Inerteen on his
clothing and later takes the clothing home to be washed 6
with other clothes, will this have any effect on he or his family and should he carry his clothes home to be washed?"
Did you think that was an important question?
A. Certainly.
Q. Let me read one more. "Employeescarry Inerteen home on soles of their shoes and complain quite a
bit about the effect Inerteen has on wearing out their
shoes.
Is this a serious problem? Will Inerteen in the
soles andjo leather of shoes, over a long period of time,
have an effect on the feet and skin since the shoe is the only protective equipment we wear on our feet and the
Inerteen penetrates through the leather?" Do you think
that was an important question?
A. Certainly. Q. These are the kind of questions you should be
addressing in your labels, your warning labels to workers
who use this PCB; isn't it?
p A.
No, sir.
Q. These are the kind of questions that
employees at Westinghouse need information on to be
adequately warned about the dangers of Inerteen; isn't
that true? A.
The employees at Westinghouse, at least
through their management, had been informed of what to do
to avoid ever reaching these conditions. They should

never have experienced these if they followed what was already on the label. Q. But if we believe you, Mr. Papageorge, why do
you think these employees were asking questions?
MR. CARNEY: Well, I'm going to object.
It
calls for this witness to speculate about somebody in
South Boston, Virginia.
THE COURT: I'll sustain that. Proceed.
Q. Well, Mr. Papageorge, on page 193, you
acknowledge that you have received a letter from Westinghouse and that you're going to have the medical
department answer the questions; right?
A. I do.
Q. Is that your signature on that document, 193?
A. It is.
Q.
(Inaudible) you wrote anothermemo
before
these answers were sent down to Westinghouse; didn't you?
It appears on 194.
A. I see that, yes.
Q. Let me read that memo. Does it bear your signature?
A. No. That was signed by my secretary.
Q. Did you dictate it?
A. Yes. Over the telephone.
Q. And you dictated it -- Who did you dictate it

to? A. Mr. H. R. Ford, a Monsanto employee in
Atlanta, Georgia. Q. And why did you dictate this memo to him? A. He was the district manager, the person of
hi]p ghest position in that area who was near this plant, and I was asking him to personally deliver the message since I couldn't personally deliver it.
Q. There's a copy of this memo that's sent to E. P. Wheeler. We know who that is.
A. Yes . Q. Who's D. Wood? A. David Wood at that time was the marketing manager for PCBs. Q. Now, the memo says, "Attached is the original letter addressed to Mr. Dan A. Albert of Westinghouse, South Boston, Virginia. The contents of this letter have been reviewed with David Wood, and it was agreed that the letter be delivered by you personally to South Boston, giving you an opportunity to discuss with the Westinghouse representatives the proper approach that must be taken in presenting this information to avoid undue concerns and misunderstandings. Will you ple]p ase deliver this letter as soon as practical." You wanted this fellow to go over and hand-deliver this?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN TOWOLDMONOQ49595
81
1 A. Yes, sir.
2 Q. You didn't want to raise undue concern?
3 A. That is correct.
4 Q. What were you concerned about?
5 A. Well, I've been experienced enough with
6 working people who upon hearing some information regarding
7 health misunderstand, and they ]o get so concerned and
8 worried, and I don't believe it's responsible to cause
9 people to worry needlessly.
10 Q. Did you think -
11 A. It's just not responsible to cause them to
12 worry without making sure they understand what was said.
13 That's why I was concerned that the message was conveyed
14 in a very responsible kind of way, not to whitewash it, at
15 the same time not to leave the wrong impression.
16
Q]p .
Do you think it's irresponsible to tell the
17 people the truth?
18 A. Absolutely not.
19 Q. Even if they find it concerning and have
20 problems with the truth, you've got to tell them?
21 A. That is true.
22
Q.
Even if it upsets them,
you've got to tell
23 them the truth?
24 A. True. But don't mislead them to worry
25 needlessly.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49596

1 Q. You were wor]p ried that the employees at that
2 plant when they found out what I'm about to read, the
3 answers to those questions, they would be upset; weren't
4 you?
5 A. No, I wasn't, because I assumed that they
6 already heard most of these.
7 Q. Then you don't have any concern?
8 A. That is true. That's good --
9 Q. But you just told Mr. Wood you were
10 concerned?
11 A. You can take any]o sentence in here and create
12 unnecessary misunderstandings. So one must be very
13 careful how it's described.
14 Q. The first question, "Does Inerteen have
15 permanent effects on the human body? If so, what type of
16 permanent damage and how long a period of time does it
17 take for this to develop? If not, explain why," et
18
cetera. And here's your answer.
"The polychlorinated
19 biphenyls in Inerteen have permanent effects on ]o the human
20 body."
21 A. Can have.
22 THE COURT: Can have.
23 Q. "Polychlorinated biphenyls in Inerteen can
24 have permanent effects on the human body."
25 A. Correct.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49597
83
1 Q. "The length of time or period of exposure
2 necessary to develop symptoms depends on the degree or
3 amount of exposure."
4 A. True.
5 Q. The problems are --]p I'm skipping down. No.
6
I'm going to read them all.
"In general, a single
7 exposure for a few minutes to atmospheric concentrations
8 that cause irritation to the eyes and/or respiratory tract
9 would not be expected to cause either skin eruptions or
10 demonstrable liver injury. The problem arises from
11 repeated and prolonged exposure to atmospheric
12 concentrations in excess of the accepted Threshold Limit
13 Levels or repeated and prop longed skin intact."
14 MR. CARNEY: Skin contact.
15 Q. Reading on, "The potential toxic effects in
16 humans from excessive exposure to polychlorinated
17
biphenyls include injury to the liver and chloracne.
In
18 animals, the liver effect is demonstrated by increased
19 liver weights and injury to cellular tissue. Although
20 chloracne is difficult to evaluate in animals, in humans,
21 this takes the form of comedones (larp ge blackheads with
22 typical acute pustules) and may be an external symptom of
23 overexposure preceding serious liver injury."
24 You go on to say to question number three,
25 "Since Inerteen effects birds and other animals, if there
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49598
84
1 is no really effect to human beings, how do you explain it
2 to employees in such a way that they will understand why
3 it can kill a bird and not a human?" And you answered,
4 p "There is a potential real effect to humans - including
5 death - as discussed in the answer to Question 1."
6 To the question about carrying Inerteen home on
7 their shoes and so forth, you people wrote, Monsanto
8 wrote, "There should not be polychlorinated biphenyl on
9 the floor for workmen to contaminate their shoes to carry
10 home. The plasticizer or solvent action will destroy or
11 shorten the life of the shoes. More importantly, wea]o ring
12 of contaminated shoes could lead to absorption of the
13 liquid through the soles of the feet as through any other
14 unbroken skin surface."
15 I'm going to ask you something, Mr. Papageorge.
16 You were still making polychlorinated biphenyls and
17 selling them when you wrote that, when Monsanto answered
18 those employees' questions?
19 A. Yes.
20 Q. Did you ever change your warning label on
21 drumjo s or tankers or trucks, however you people sold this
22 stuff, to include the information that I just read to you
23 in the form I just read it to you?
24
A.
No, sir.
40 years of experience showed us
25
that what we had on the label was working beautifully.
It
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49599
85
1 worked so well that we were quite --
2 Q. You've answered the question.
3 MR. CARNEY: Let him finish.
4 THE COURT: ]p Let him finish the sentence.
5
Then move on.
Finish the sentence.
6 A. I've forgotten what I started to say. But,
7 nevertheless, the message that existed on those labels for
8 decades worked so well that for 40-plus years we did not
9 have any reports from anywhere that employees working with
10 PCB liquids were being harmed in a permanent way, even to
11 the ultimate of death, which you've indicated here. There
12 just was no evidjo ence to say, "Your labels are not
13 adequate. You better change them." It was working. Why
14 bother with something that was working?
15 Q. Was medicine changing during that 40 years?
16 Did science change?
17 MR. CARNEY: With regard to PCBs?
18 MR. KOTOSKE: Absolutely.
19 A. There was no new evidence that would say the
20 label as worded was not doing the job and was not proper.

Q.]p
Turn to page 203.
22 A. Okay.
23 Q. Were you still using IBT as late as 1975?

TOWOLDMON0049600
86
1 A. Yes, sir. 2 Q. Was Mr. Calandra still president of that 3 company in April of 1975 as far as you know? 4 A. Yes, sir. 5 Q. And you were CC'd on this letter dated April 6 17th, 1975, appearing g as page 203 of Exhibit 11. Did you 7 receive a copy of this letter? 8 A. I did. 9 Q. Did you read it? 10 A. Yes, sir. 11 Q. It says, "Ifully appreciate that the meeting 12 on PCBs today was not completely satisfactory and that 13 many nagging questions remain." What was Mr. Calandra 14 talking about? 15 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I think he may have 16 to -- You want to approachjo the bench? 17 THE COURT: Just a moment. 18 (A bench conference was held.) 19 THE COURT: You may rephrase your question or 20 restate it. 21 Q. (Inaudible.) Let me start over again. Are 22 you on page 203? 23 A. Yes, I am. 24 Q. All right. Who is George Roush at Monsanto 25 Company?

You didn't have any problem getting your mail out at Monsanto? A. Nop . Normally no. Q. George Levinskas is this fellow we've been talking about in this trial; isn't it? A. His name has come up. Q. And Mr. Wheeler, his name has come up? A. Yes, sir. Q. They also received copies ofthisletter according to the distribution (inaudible)? A. Yes. Q.

MR. CARNEY:
I don't think it's all been

This is a poor reproduction, sir.
I really

1 A. Yes .
2 Q. All right. Now, I want you to look at this
3 letter dated August 4, 1975 from Mr. Cap landra to Monsanto,
4 specifically to George Levinskas, Manager of Environmental
5 Assessment and Toxicology.
6 A. Can you give me a page number, sir?
7 Q. (Inaudible) 212.
8 A. I have it.
9 Q. Did you ever see a copy of that letter?
10 A. I have seen a copy of this letter as it
11 related to a case.
12 Q. A case involving Monsanto?
13 A. Yes, sir.
14
]p
Q.
All right.
In which you testified?

19
Q.
Now, I want you to turn to page 213.
I'm
20
going to start a different subject matter here.
If the
21 jury can bear with me, I've got about a half an hour.
22 THE COURT: Fine.
23 MR. KOTOSKE: Maybe 20 minutes.
24 THE COURT: Then we'll take a break.
25 Q. Along about October 17th, 1975, the EPA had
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49604
90
1 now been seeking information from Monsanto; is that
2 correct?
3 A. Yes. This is one of -- an example of that
4 kind of request.
5 Q. They sent a list of questions to you to
6 answer; did they not?
7 A. They did.
8
Q.
And those questionsarecontained
on]opages 15
9 through -- 215 through 219; is that right?
10 A. That is correct.
11 Q. One of the questions that the EPA asked you
12 is No. 10, and here's what EPA asked you to provide them
13 with. A description -
14 THE COURT: Is that on page 218?
15 MR. KOTOSKE: Yes.
16 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, can I record an
17 objection as to the relevancy of that? If you want to a
18 p take a look and read it (inaudible).
19 THE COURT: Well, as long as you stay away
20
from the effluents question (inaudible).
I'll let you ask
21
the question as long as you stick to that area.
Proceed.
22 Overruled.
23 Q. Question No. 10, "A description of any
24 adverse health or environmental effects which you know or
25 believe to have resulted from the introduction of PCB
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49605
91
1
compounds or mixtures i]p nto the environment.
Indicate any
2 specific occasions, including, dates, times, locations,
3 amounts, parties involved," and so forth. And you were
4 asked to answer that question?
5 A. I was.
6 Q. Now, turn to page 220.
7 A. I have it.
8 Q. This is Monsantomemo written by this David
9 Wood?
10 A. Yes, it is.
11 Q. And he, as I understand, is in marketing?
12 p A. Yes, sir.
13 Q. And it's his comments on these questions that
14 we're going to read; is that right?
15 A. They appear to be. Yes, they are. Uh-huh.
16 Q. And he says with respect to Question No. 10
17 on page 221, he states --
18 MR. CARNEY: Are you talking about Question
19 No. 10?
20 MR. KOTOSKE: That's right.
21
MR. CARNEY:
I see it on page 220.
Right?!)
22 THE COURT: The answer is.
23 MR. CARNEY: You said 221.
24 MR. KOTOSKE: I'm looking at page 221 for the
25 answer to Question No. 10.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49606
92
1 MR. CARNEY: Okay. Yeah.
2 THE COURT: Okay. Go ahead.
3 Q. And the answer by Mr. Wood to this particular
4 question about adverse health effects is -- We shouldn't
5
be saying none.
He writes "none" p to the question.
6
"Yusho" with a question mark.
"Chloracne years ago -
7 Dangerous question." Is that what Mr. Wood wrote?
8 A. He wrote that, but you described it as an
9 answer. These are Mr. Wood's reactions to the question.
10 Q. He thought that that question was a very
11 dangerous question?
12 A. He apparently did; otherwise, he wouldn't
13 have written it that way.
14 Q. Did you receive th]p is back from Mr. Wood?
15 A. Yes, I did.
16 Q. When you received his response, which was
17 apparently a choice between none, Yusho, chloracne years
18 ago, or dangerous question, how did you choose to answer
19 that question to the EPA?
20 A. First, I don't interpret this as a choice.
21 The way I read it, Mr. Wood is saying are there any? In
22 other words, none? Is Yusho an environmental kind of
23 exposure? p And the chloracne that we experienced years
24 ago, does it fit the question which says due to
25 environmental? And he says "Dangerous question?" And
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49607
93
1 only he knows what led him to use the word "dangerous". 2 Q. Let me ask you something. Why in the world 3 does Monsanto have a guy from marketing even answer these 4 type of questions? 5 A. Well, sir, he's not answering. He's trying 6 to be helpfuljo to me. He volunteered the sheet and sent it 7 to me. 8 Q. I don't mean to be flip, but why in the world 9 didn't you use the medical department to answer that kind 10 of question? 11 A. Well, I did. 12 Q. Let's see what they say. Their answer is on 13 page 241, Question No. 10. Of course, you're trying to be 14 helpful to the EPA, give them all the information that you 15 have available; isn't that right, M]p r. Papageorge? 16 A. That was the intent, yes, sir. 17 Q. And here's what you tell them in answer to 18 Question No. 10. Quote, "Monsanto Company is not aware of 19 any health or environmental effects resulting from the 20 introduction of PCB compounds or mixtures into the 21 environment which has not been reported in the scientific 22 and popular press and already known to the representatives 23 of the EPA. " That was your answejo r? 24 A. That is right, yes, sir. 25 Q. Did you authorize that answer?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49608
94
1 A. Yes, sir. That's a truthful answer. 2 Q. Mr. Papageorge, would you turn to page 246 in 3 the exhibit? 4 A. (Inaudible.) 5 Q. I had mentioned to you earlier in your 6 testimony, in my examination of you, about Vice-President 7 Fitzgerald making a comment to the EPA at the hearings 8 early in '76? 9 A. You did mention it, yes. 10 Q. This is what I was talking about. 11 A. All right. 12 Q. This particular speech on 246 and 247. Were 13 you present when he gave his remarks? 14 A. I was. 15 Q. Is this a true and accurate copy of the 16 speech he said he used, his testimony put into the record? 17 A. It is.
18 Q. And he told EPA p at that time, quote, "Let me
19 emphasize that we have no desire to remain in the PCB 20 manufacturing business any longer than is necessary. " Did 21 you believe that statement to be true in May of - 22 A. Yes. 23 Q. Where were these alternative dielectric 24 fluids? In what state of development? 25 A. There were -- As best Monsanto could

determine, there were some liquids under test at that time, but as yet none had been proven satisfactory. Q. Now, Mr. Papageorge, Congress banned PCBs by
name in the statute on October 16, '76, but the phasing
regulations prepared by EPA give different deadlines so
that you could stop making PCBs in '77; right? When did
you stop making PCBs?
MR. CARNEY:
I'm going to object.
He's
misled the jury to thinking Congress banned the PCBs, he's
done it p several times, in '76.
It was done in '79, and I
think he's just deliberately trying to confuse the jury
with that kind of question.
MR. KOTOSKE: We don't have to --
THE COURT: Sustain.
MR. KOTOSKE: We'll bring the statute in and
I'll let everybody -
MR. CARNEY:
I'd like to do that because I
think it's important for the jury to know.
THE COURT:
Fp ine.
We'll do that.
I'll
sustain as to form of question. You may rephrase.
Q. Why did you raise the price of PCB in 1976?
A. The cost of producing the PCBs for the small
market that existed was increasing. We still had all that
equipment and all the costs that go into making chemicals
that were constant, but the volume had dropped so that the 6
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN TOWOLDMONOQ49610
96
1 cost per pound to manufacture had gone up, and Mo]o nsanto
2 had to raise the price to meet that increased cost.
3 Q. Why did you ask all your customers who had
4 PCB manuals to destroy them in September of '77?
5 A. I'm not aware of that.
6
Q.
Turn to page 249.
Is this a Monsanto letter?
7 A. It is.
8 Q. Dated September 22, 1977?
9 A. It is.
10
Q.
Signed by J.
A. A-l-l-e-y,Industrial
11 Specialist in Dielectjo rics?
12 A. Yes, sir.
13
Q.
Does it say,
"I suggest that you destroy all
14 copies in your files and offices so we don't inadvertently
15 supply obsolete information to the industry"? And he's
16 talking about Monsanto bulletins for inspection and
17 maintenance of transformer askarel?
18 A. He is referring to that, but I don't recall
19
which year of publication that is.
I don't know if it's
20 an obsolete one ]o or the latest one.
21 Q. Finally, I'm going to show you one document
22 in Exhibit No. 12. We're through with Plaintiff's 11.
23 This exhibit has to do with Mr. Paul Wright who worked at
24 IBT, and you heard his testimony, the testimony of Mr.

he not?
A. I think you're referring to the incentive
award from Monsanto.
Q. p I think that's what you call it.
A. I was made aware of that lately, yes, sir.
Q. Turn to page -- the last page in that
exhibit, page 522.
A. I have it.
Q. Do you recognize that sort of document?
A. I recognize the form, yes.
Q. Is that the form used for cash incentive
awards ?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do you recognize Levinskas as you gep t down
there next to the date July 16th, 1976?
A. I do.
Q. Did you sign the document?
A. He did.
Q. How about you? Did you sign it?
A. No, sir. I had nothing to do with this.
Q.
This is a cash award to Paul Wright.
I'd
like to read to the jury what Monsanto gave him this award
for.
I'll read from the document.
"His excellent
analysis and synthp esis and widely-scattered observations
played a prominent role in forestalling EPA's promulgation
6
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49612
98
1 of unrealistic regulations to limit discharges of
2 polychlorinated biphenyls, EPA's proposed regulations that
3 precluded the use of these materials by Monsanto's
4 customers." So Monsanto gave him a cash award?
5 A. I still haven't found the line, sir.
6
Q.
I can help you.
In the middle of the page.
7
MR. CARNEY:
I'll agree that he read the
8 words correctly, at least part of the words.
9 Q. Do you see where it starts "Particularly
10 noteworthy"?
11
A.
Yes.
I found it.
12 Q. Let me read it again so (inaudible).
13 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I stipulated that he
14 read the words correctly the first time.
15 THE COURT: It's been read.
16 MR. KOTOSKE: ]p I have no further questions.
17 THE COURT: All right.
18 MR. KOTOSKE: I do.
19 Q. How much money did Monsanto pay Paul Wright
20 for his efforts in PCBs?
21 A. Sir, I don't know anything about this other
22 than I saw this document fairly recently.
23 Q. You don't know how much money?
24 A. No, I don't.

Q.]p
(By Mr. Carney) You didn't think I was ever
going to get the chance to ask you questions,
Mr. Papageorge. Now it's my turn. You know who I am?
A. Certainly.
Q. I was going tocall you in my case, but
Mr. Kotoske has called you in plaintiff's case. So I'm
going to go through the questions that I would have asked
you in my case, and I can just save time rather than just
recalling you, if that's okay?
A. Yes.
Q. And ratherthan trying to berepetitious, I
went over last night and tried eliminating any questions
Mr. Kotoske covered.
I'm not sure if he asked you where

I started out in anti-aircraft and then
got into infantry, and then during the occupation of Japan
I was in the Corps of Engineers.
Q. And you're a chemical engineer. That's your
degree?
A. Yes.
Q. Just very briefly could you tell the jury what a chemical engineer does, what it is?
A. I will try. Chemical engineering involves
the use of, knowledge of mathematics, knowledge of
chemistry, knowledge of physical properties of things like
flowing of fluids or movement of gases and the like. 6
And

7 A. I am.
8 Q. How long have you had that registration?
9 A. Oh, since about 1963, if I remember
10 correctly.
11 Q. And I believe you indicated when you retired
12 from Monsanto, I believe that was '86?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. When did yo]p u start with Monsanto? I'm not
15 sure that date was mentioned.
16 A. November 1951.
17 Q. And I think -- and I just want to briefly -
18 You covered a lot of your jobs when Mr. Kotoske was asking
19
questions.
So I don't want to repeat that, but your very
20 first job was at the Queeny plant?
21 A. Yes.
22 Q. And what was your -- Were you in charge?
23 Were you a supervisor of anybody in that very fi]p rst job
24 from 1951 to 1953?
25
A.
No.
I worked as a loneengineer

1 equipment.
2 Q. Were you working in the plant or were you in
3 an air conditioned office?
4 A. I was in an office, air conditioned office,
5 as you put it, yes.
6 Q. And the Queeny plant didn't manufacture PCBs,
7 did it?
8 A. That is correct.
9 Q. Did you havejo anything to do with PCBs that
10 first two years, 1951 to 1953?
11 A. Absolutely nothing.
12 Q. And you didn't knowanything about PCBs
13 during that two-year period?
14 A. That is correct.
15 Q. But you learned aboutthese later?
16 A. Correct.
17 Q. Now, you had a couple jobs, and then I think
18 in 1956, '57 you were supervisor of maintenance at the
19 Queeny plant?
20 ]o
A. I was.
21 Q. And you had a small group that you were
22 responsible for?
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. And then from '57 to '59 you had a work force
25 'j
of about 400 people? 6
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49619
105
1 A. Yes.
2 Q. And you were superintendent of the
3 maintenance department?
4 A. Correct.
5 Q. Now, I believe Mr. Kotoske asked you when you
6 were supervising g these 400 maintenance people if you saw
7 any written warnings to employees in the maintenance area,
8 any written warnings? Do you recall your answer to that?
9 A. I believe I do.
10 Q. Did you recall any written warnings?
11 A. I recall written sheets which described what
12 chemicals they might be exposed to and what kind of harm
13 might be expected under certain conditions of mishandling
14 or misuse.
15 ]o Q. Did you rely on those written documents when
16 you were in charge of the maintenance people to get across
17 how to safely handle PCBs in the work place?
18 A. I relied on them, of course, but I sort of
19 looked upon them as something to back up what the
20
employees heard at the safety meeting.
I believe the
21 spoken word carries a better message than the written word
22 that's over on some desk somewhere.
23
Q. ]o
And did you have regular safety meetings at
24 the Queeny plant during that time?
25 'k
A. 6
Certainly, every month a meeting.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49620
106
1 Q. And what -- Do you recall what was said in
2 these safety meetings with regard to the PCBs?
3 A. We covered the usual, the need to be careful.
4 Don't breathe too much. Don't get it on your skin. When
5 you get a chance, change your clothes. Don't panic.
6 There i]p s no need to rush over right away, but when time
7 permits, go over there, change your clothes. Take a
8 shower if necessary or at least wash off the area that's
9 got the oil on it. We also emphasized to help control
10 PCBs to look for those two what I call early warning
11
symptoms.
If any of you get red skin on your hands
12 because you didn't wear the right kind of gloves, go to
13
the dispensary, report to it to the medical doctor.
If
14 ]o you have a bad chest cold, don't assume it's just a chest
15
cold.
Find out from the doctor.
It may be related to you
16 breathing too many fumes. So once we controlled those
17 two, then we were comfortable that nothing more serious
18 would happen by working with PCBs.
19 Q. Did you see while you worked at the Queeny
20 plant, were there any employees that got chloracne because
21 of PCBs?
22 A. At the Queeny plant, no, sir,]o no.
23 Q. Did anybody get any type of liver effects or
24 liver damage that you saw at the Queeny plant because of
25

PCB exposure?

MR. KOTOSKE: Judge, excuse me for not
standing. He is not a medical man. He can't diagnose
whether somebody's got chloracne.
I'm sorry I didn't
object earlier. That I would like to object to have
(inaudible) medical documents.
THE CO]p URT: Well, I don't know if he can
(inaudible). When you say "saw," what do you mean by
"saw"?
Q. (By Mr. Carney) Well, did anybody to your
knowledge get chloracne at the Queeny plant from PCBs?
MR. KOTOSKE: See, that's the objection. He
can't diagnose, and he doesn't know, and he doesn't
have -- He's already told me he doesn't have that
expertise.
THE COURT: I agree there, bu]p t I'm trying to
figure out from what source you're talking about.
Q.
(By Mr. Carney)
Let me ask.
Have you seen
chloracne?
A. I have seen chloracne, yes, sir.
Q. And where did you see it?
A. When I was assigned to the Sauget, Illinois,
plant one of the departments that was my responsibility
making wood-treating chemicals had an accidental release
years before I arrived. The e]p mployees at that time were
exposed to this wood-treating chemical.

Q. Was this PCB? A. No, no. Q. Another? A. Another chemicalaltogether, but, nonetheless, because of that exposure they developed chloracne. When I arrived there were 12 of those individuals still under the medical program. And every so often they would be given a pass to leave the plant ]o and go to the doctor to get treatment. And I was very much involved because they would come by the office, and I would sign the pass, and they would go to the doctor for treatment. Q. And you saw their chloracne? A. Yes, I did. Q. And what did it look like? Can you describe -A. To me it looked like, I'm going to use terms that are probably not medical, blackheads ]o on their cheek bones, their hairline behind the ears, and some of them even had it in their throat and the forehead, the hairline of the forehead. And there were others that had not only blackheads, but they had raised portions on their skin, what I call whiteheads. That's what I saw, and that - the medical doctor at the plant told me that was an outward symptom of chloracne. 6

1 Q. Did you ever p see any of the maintenance
2 people that worked for you at the Queeny plant that worked
3 with PCBs come down with chloracne?
4 A. I did not see anything like that.
5 Q. Did you ever hear of anybody at the Queeny
6 plant getting chloracne from PCBs?
7 A. I never heardthat.
8 Q. Did you ever hear of anybody getting liver
9 effects at the Queeny plant from PCBs?
10 A. I did not.
11 l5 Q. Or liver damage? 12 A. I did not.
13 Q. Did you ever see among your maintenance
14 people that worked with PCBs at the Queeny plant -- I
15 believe all 400 didn't work with PCBs, but I think it was
16 60 or 70 or whatever it was you said?
17 A. That's close.
18 Q. Did you ever see them get the red skin, which
19 is the first symptom that they might have some exposure to
20 PCBs? 21 p A. I never saw that.
22 Q. Did you ever see -- Did you ever have any of
23 your maintenance people get the stuff on their throat like
24 a chest cold that they thought might be related to

'o
breathing PCB fumes?

1 A. I did not.
2 Q. You next went to this plant called three
3 things, the East St. Louis plant, it's called the
4 Krummrich plant, and it's called the Sauget plant. What
51? do you like to call it?
6 A. Well, I think I'm using the word Sauget,
7 Illinois, plant.
8 Q. We'll use Sauget. In other words, it's right
9 next to East St. Louis?
10 A. Correct.
11 Q. And they made PCBs at that plant?
12 A. Yes, they did.
13 Q. Now, you were involved as a superintendent at
14 that plant of about one-sixth of the manufacturing area of
15 that plantjo ?
16 A. Roughly that, yes.
17 Q. Now, did your section of the plant that you
18 supervised in the Sauget or East St. Louis plant, did that
19 involve a PCB section where they made PCBs?
20 A. No.
21 Q. Well, while you worked there, I think you 22 worked there from 1964 through 1965?
23 A. Yes.
24 Q. About two years, was it?
25 A. Roughly, yes.
'P 1? 1
6 Q.
Did any of the employees that worked with
2 PCBs at the Sauget plant get chloracne to your knowledge?
3 A. To my knowledge -- No, not to my knowledge.
4 Q. Did any of the PCB workers in the Sauget
5 plant near East St. Louis have liver damage at any time?
6 A. Not that I know of.
7 Q. Let me ask this because Mr. Kotoskeasked you
8 several times why Monsanto didn't put chloracne or liver
1? 9
disease on the labels that you could get those two
10 problems by exposure to PCB. Did you. Bill Papageorge,
11 know of any cases of chloracne in an American capacitor
12 plant? Have you ever heard of it?
13 A. I never heard of it or saw it, no.
14 Q. Did you know of any cases of liverdisease in
15 an American capacitor plant, whether it was General
16 Electric, whether it was Westinghouse, whether it was
17 Bloomingtonjo , did you ever hear of any liver damage in any
18 American capacitor plant because of PCB?
19 A. I did not.
20 Q. And that's true up to today?
21 A. To this day, yes.
22 Q. And have you heard it today? Have you
23 heard -- Well, I'll leave that for the doctors who are
24 going to testify as (inaudible). I won't have you get
25 into that. Could you briefly describe your duties? I

Ill
1 p think you told the jury that for five years from 1965
2 until toward the end of '69 you were plant manager in
3 Anniston, Alabama?
4 A. I was, yes.
5
Q.
You just describedthat's
where they made
6 PCBs ?
7 A. Yes.
8
Q.
In fact, that's the
plant thatMonsanto
9 bought that was owned by Swann Chemical, and Monsanto
10 bought the plant in 1935?
11 A. Yes.
12
Q.
S]p tarted making PCBs
from that time until
13 1977?
14 A. That is correct.
15 Q. Could you just describe your duties when you
16 were plant manager of the Anniston, Alabama, plant?
17
A.
I suppose the best, simple
statement I could
18 make is I guess I was responsible for everything that
19 happened there from the hiring of the worker, the training
20 of the worker, the getting the necessary equipment and
21 using th]p at equipment to make chemicals at the proper
22 costs, that the cost didn't get out of hand, and to do all
23
of this safely.
Don't hurt anybody.

the neighborhood. Watch the water discharge so it doesn't
pollute the local sewage treatment plant. Participate in
the local communities lik]o e the United Way and the local
music club and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and the
YMCA. These are just examples of the kind of
participation, not only with donation of money, but with
allowing the workers at the plant to take time off from
work to go help these organizations.
It even went down to
instructing the truck drivers on how to behave on the
highways and roads of the cities so they did not create
problems and a ba]p d reputation for Monsanto.
Q. Was this good-neighbor policy that you
described, was this the policy that Monsanto followed at
all of its plants?
A. Oh, yes, yes.
Q. It's true at the St. Louis plants as well?
A. Yes.
Q. What other products were manufactured at the
Anniston plant other than we already know about PCBs?
There were other products, weren't there, that were
manufactured there? Could you just give a few examples?
A.
I'll try.
Of course, we made muriatic acid.
We made an insecticide that's used in cotton fields called
parathion and its cousin chemical we called 'niran.' We
made potassium phosphorous -- I'm sorry -- phosphorous 6

pentasulfide which was a chemical used to make other
materials. We made the biphenyl that we sold as biphenyl
to other ch]p emical companies. We made other products that
started with biphenyl, like hydrogenated biphenyl.
I
don't want to get too complicated, but there's a whole
family of chemicals that come from biphenyl. And, of
course, we made the chlorinated terphenyls which were also
called Aroclors.
Q. And they are not PCBs?
A. They are not PCBs.
Q. Let me ask you this because you just hit upon
somethijo ng I'm going to ask you later on, but I'll ask it
right now. Mr. Kotoske I think during his examination
today was asking you about the toxic properties of I think
it was biphenyls, wasn't it?
A. Yes .
Q. Do you recall that?
A. Yes .
Q. And that's a raw material for PCB?
A. That 's what we called it, yes.
Q. Now, can you have, say, two raw materials
are toxic, for example, very toxic, and they make
something that either is less toxic or maybe not very
toxic at all? Is that something that happens?
A. 6
Well, that happens fairly often.

114
Q. Can you give me any examples, give the jury
an example?
A.
I'll try.
I don't know how many of the jury
recognize an acid like muriatic acid or battery acid.
Muriatic acid is one that'Jp s used to clean brickwork after
bricklayers are finished putting the wall up.
Q. It's toxic? A. Oh, yes, definitely. And if you couple that
with lye that many of us are familiar with, that's pretty
corrosive, that's pretty toxic. You combine muriatic acid
and lye in the right mixture so you don't have too much of
one or the other, you end up with salt water. Sodium from
the lye combined with the chlorinejo from the acid makes
sodium chloride, which is salt water. That final product,
as we all know, is innocuous.
It doesn't hurt anything,
but the two starting materials must be carefully handled.
Q. Let's get back to the Anniston plant for a
minute. Did you have written information that was
available to the workers at Anniston that made PCBs about
how to handle PCBs?
A. Yes, we did.
Q. C]p an you describe what that information was?
A. Well, it's a -- it's a sheet of paper in
which the information is typed, of course, and is
available for the worker to read. 6
In addition to that,

they had copies of the pamphlet put out by the American
Industrial Hygiene Association describing how much PCBs is
permissible in the air that the worker breathes throughout
the eight-hour shift. That kind of documjo ent was
available. That pretty well covers it.
Q. And did you rely on this written material as
the only source of information to the employee about how
to handle PCBs at the Anniston, Alabama, plant?
A.
No.
I personally didn't rely on that written
material as the only source.
I relied on that written
material as sort of backup information. The better way to
communicate to the worker is to tell them facejo -to-face
what to look out for, and what the material can do to you,
and what's the best way to protect yourself, what kinds of
equipment are available, where do you get this equipment
and where do you keep it so it's handy, under what
conditions do you use it. That is the most effective way,
and this is reviewed at the safety meetings.
Q. How often are these safety meetings held or
how often were they held in the ' 6]p Os while you were at
Anniston?
A. Safety meetings are held once a month, but
the subject changes each time so that the exposure to
chemicals might be covered every third meeting or so.
Q. 6
What about a new employee, if he came and

'w
116
didn't have a safety meeting, say, for two months, how was
he to know how to handle PCBs safely?
A. Before a now employee is sent to work in the plant, he has one or more meetings, and it depends how many are hired at a time, but generally it's a few at a
time. And they meet with the safety supervisor of the
plant. They meet with the medical doctor. They meet with
their future foreman and supervisor to discuss many
things, amongst which is the safety and health aspects.
Q. And what was told to the Anniston, Alabama,
workers that worked with PCBs?
]o A. Don't get it on your skin and leave it on
there too long. There is really no need to panic, you
know, drop everything and run to the wash room. But first
chance you get, wash it off.
Same thing goes with your
clothes.
If they are badly drenched, certainly, go get
another pair of trousers or what have you.
If not, you
can wait till the end of the shift, and there won't be any
harm.
If there are some fumes that you must w]p ork in, use
your judgment as to whether you can turn off the source of
the fumes quickly or whether you should go get your
respirator which has been assigned to you, by the way.
It's not -- Everybody doesn't use it. Get your
respirator, put it on and go out there and do what it
takes to stop the fumes. 6
So the whole program is really

based on training that employee and relying on his
judgment, rather tha]o n have the boss breathing down his
back all the time because, keep in mind, there is 21
shifts to the week, and the boss is only there about 5.
Q. By "the boss," you mean the foreman?
A. The foreman is the immediate boss. So the
other 17 -- My arithmetic's wrong -- the other 16 shifts
we have to rely on each worker taking care of himself.
Q. And you described the protective equipment
that was ava]p ilable to the workers at Anniston, and I won't
cover that again. But let me ask you this, did the PCB
workers wear these rubber coats and the respirators and
the rubber gloves going up their arms at all times?
A. Oh, no. Only when in their judgment the
conditions called for it.
Q. What was their normal uniform? What did the
PCB workers wear on a daily basis?
A. A normal uniform was a two-piece, ]o gray khaki
shirt and trousers. They had safety shoes issued to them
and a hard hat. That would be during milder weather.
During colder weather they would also have a jacket and
maybe even a wool knit cap to wear underneath the hard
hat, and they wore gloves, generally a plastic-lined
canvas glove, unless they were involved in a situation
that a lot of PCBs would get on those gloves. 6

would pu^) t on the neoprene gloves.
Q. Let me ask you this while I'm thinking about
it, did you ever -- did you walk through the plant,
particularly in the area where the PCBs were made or did
you stay in your air conditioend office? I don't even
know if it was air conditioned, but (inaudible).
A. I made a point to walk through the plant at
least once a day whenever I was in town.
If I was
traveling, of course, I cl) ouldn't do it.
Q. And you were in town most of the time at the
plant?
A. Yes.
Q. And did you ever get PCBs on you as you were
working or as you were walking through the plant or going
through the PCB area?
A. Many times, yes.
Q. Can you describe it?
A. Of course, it varied.
Q. You weren't drenched from head to toe, I take
it?
A.
Oh, no, no.
I never found myself in that
situation, but let me describe, when I first arrived, the
conditions were a little different than when I left in
terms of the degree of cleanliness that was expected.
When I first arrived, I found that the handrails were 6

gummy. The steps -- and up the steps were -- they had
PCBs on them, and my shoes would stick on them.
In fact,
at the bottom of eachjo stairwell they had a little sand box
to pick up some sand so they wouldn't slip as they go up
the steps. There were some fumes coming out of the pots,
the reactors because the workers were not covering that
opening. So as I'd walk through, yes, I would get spots
of oil on my shoulders or down my pants leg. Then I'd
pick up material on my shoes.
I remember many times going
to the car in the parking lot and finding a piece of stick
or a twig and cleaning out the material from the front of
my heels.
I remember that.
So there were at that time
opportunities to pick up the PCBs.
Q. Did you get it on your hands when you touched
the rails that were gummy?
A.
Yes, I did get it on my hands.
I would get
it on the door knobs. Of course, unless I ate something,
that wasn't often, I had to wash my hands before I picked
up any food o]o r even sometimes a piece of paper and pencil
because the work would get dirty from the PCB.
Q. If you got it on your hands would you
immediately run to the wash room?
A. No, not immediately, but when I got back to
the office, I'd wash up.
Q. 6
Did Monsanto ever manufacture -- I'm

I thought I had a question
2
to follow up.
I can't remember what it ]o was.
So I'm going
3 to switch the subject for a minute. Did Monsanto ever
4 manufacture or sell trichlorethylene?
5 A. No.
6 Q. Or trichloroethane?
7 A. No.
8 Q. And then you were given the job, and I think
9 you've discussed that at some length in the last day or
10 so, of manager-environmental control. In that job, and
11 you had that from 1970 to '76, was your only job with
12 regard ]o to PCBs?
13 A. Initially, yes. But as the program
14 developed, I was given other products to be responsible
15 for. So my work load did change.
16 Q. Say from the period 1973 to '76 how much of
17 your time was spent on PCBs as opposed to other issues
18 unrelated to PCBs?
19 A. I would estimate about half of my time was on
20 PCBs, in that period of time.
21 Q. And before that it would be more?
22 ]o
A. It was 100 percent before.
23 Q. Generally, and I'm not sure you were given
24 the opportunity to do this, can you just describe what
25 your job duties were?

121
2 Q. In 1970 when this position was created that
3 you assumed.
4 A. I was expected to know as much as I could
5 about PCB and the environmental issue and to communicate
6 that information to]p anybody that had any interest in it
7 within Monsanto, within the university community, within
8 the government agencies, foreign producers, environmental
9
groups, anybody that had a question about PCBs.
I tried
10 to serve at least as a starting mark. And if I felt I can
11
answer the question properly, I would do so.
If not, I
12 would make it a point to get the real expert to answer the
13 question.
14 Q. You described the safe h]p andling procedures
15 that you told the workers about at the Queeny plant and at
16 the Anniston, Alabama, plant. How did you learn about
17 those safe handling procedures?
18 A. Primarily my principal source was the plant
19 doctor and his files at both of those plants.
20 Q. I remember now the question I couldn't think
21 of a minute ago. You described the conditions of the
22 Anniston plant at the time you started, 1965, and ]o they
23 weren't as good as you thought they should be. Would that
24 be fair to say?
25 A. They weren't good enough for me. That's
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49636
1 true.
122
2 Q. And did the -- Did you institute some changes
3 to improve conditions?
4 A. I did, yes.
5 Q. Just generally describe what you did.
6 A. I'll try.
7 Q. And the reason for it, if you can.
8
A.p
I'll try.
I don't know if I'll make myself
9
' inaudible'
As I see it, there are about four reasons to
10 push for good housekeeping. One, of course, is to avoid
11 exposing workers to hazardous materials, and that was
12 being done at the Anniston plant in spite of the sticky
13 handrails and the sand box at the bottom of the
14 footsteps -- of the stairways. Another reason for good
15 housekeeping is to avoid the slippery steps, for example,
16 the kinds of situations that result in falls and broken
17 ankles and the like and lacerations and other kinds of
18 injuries. That's still kind of safety related. There is
19 a third one that became more and more prominent as time
20 went on when I was there. This is the one having to do
21 with the environment. A dirty plant sort of dirties its
22
neighborhood.
So good housekeeping helps environmental
23 contamination. And the fourth one, and ]o this, I guess, one
24 could laugh at me for, but I have a strong belief that
25
people like to work in a clean place.
It seems to show up
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49637
123
1 in the way they keep their records, their enthusiasm on
2 the job, the way their tools are kept clean and safe.
3 I've even seen it in the way they appear. They just comb
4
their hair better, and they dress cleaner.
It sort of
5 feeds on itself. So finally I was gratified that -- I
6 ]o forgot what year it was, 1968 I think it was, Monsanto
7 gave the Anniston plant an outstanding award for
8 housekeeping. And at this point the employees came in and
9 asked could they bring their families by. And I was ready
10
for the answer.
I expected it. And the answer was
11 "Certainly." So we had the families, and they brought
12 their children in. The place was clean enough that they,
13 themselves, were proud enough to show it, which pr]p ior to
14 that they just would not have even thought of it. Does
15 that help any?
16 Q. Yes. Back in the late 1930's were the people
17 at Monsanto, including yourself -- Well, strike that. You
18 weren't there in that period?
19 A. Not quite.
20 Q. You were probably in grade school or
21 something?
22 A. Right.
23 Q. But you did look into when you took the job
24 in 1970, you]p studied the history of Monsanto's association
25 with PCBs and any problems that might have been caused by
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49638
124
1 PCBs during the period from 1935 until 1970?
2 A. Yes, I did.
3 Q. And in that review was Monsanto aware that if
4 you breathed the fumes, and this is back in the 1930's,
5 from heated PCBs for an extended period you could develop
6 some situations where your liver would be affected?
7
A]p .
Yes.
8
Q.
And I mention the word heated PCBs.
If you
9 had a vat of PCBs sitting right here in front of the jury,
10 between us, would that be of concern, the fumes, if they
11 were at room temperature? 12 A. No.
13 Q. Why not?
14 A. They do not give off fumes at room
15 temperature the way, say, gasoline would. They are just
16 not that type of liquid.
17 Q. So you've got to he]p at the PCBs to generate
18 fumes that would cause any type of problems whatsoever?
19 A. Certainly.
20 Q. As far as you know, based on your years 21 you've spent at Monsanto dealing with PCB matters, what 22 human health effects or health problems can be caused by
23 exposure to PCBs?
24 A. Well, they can run from stinging of the
25 eyes -- When it gets in the eyes, it does sting. No
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49639
125

quesjo tion about it.
It can cause reddening of the skin
2 that I believe I described as like similar to chapped
3
hands.
It can cause this severe chest pain that I
4 described similar to a chest cold, a coughing and
5 irritation.
6 Q. Let me stop you right here because I want to
7 clarify something. There have been some words used, and
8 I'm not sure that they have been explained. Maybe I'm
9 being over-simplified in this, but are tho]o se what you
10 would call acute symptoms from PCB exposure? 11 A. Yes. That would fit the definition for acute 12 exposures, yes.
13 Q. What does the word "acute" mean?
14 A. That means a very short-term exposure at a
15 level enough to cause the effect that you're seeing for a
16 very short time, like a snapshot from a camera kind of
17 thing.
18 Q. And that's pretty immediate, those effects?
19 ]o I mean they wouldn't show up ten years later or two months
20 later? 21 A. Oh, no. 22 MR. KOTOSKE: We are in a position now where
23 the man doesn't have the qualification to answer that
24 question.
25
MR. CARNEY:
I think, Your Honor, he does.

MR. KOTOSKE: Please.
126
THE COURT: Your objection is qualifications?
MR. KOTOSKE: Yes. He ca]p n't speak for
(inaudible) periods and (inaudible) diseases. He is not
qualified to do that.
THE COURT: Well, he's a chemical engineer.
MR. KOTOSKE: Well, that doesn't give him
medical qualifications to diagnose and articulate the
medical effects and the health hazards from exposure to
chemicals.
I concede he's a chemical engineer, and he
might design a very good chemical piece of equipment, but the human body is something that this man doesn't know
anything about.
THE COURT: I'm going to sustain to form the
question, Mr. Carney. Rephrase.
MR. CARNEY: Maybe we'll -- You know, I think
this witness is qualified to talk about acute versus
chronic, something very basic, but we'll have medical
doctors who will describe it, and I'm perfectly willing to
wait.
THE COp URT: That's fine.
MR. CARNEY:
I just thought I'd clarify it
for jury.
MR. KOTOSKE: Don't misunderstand me, Judge.
He can give symptoms. He can talk about chest pain,

3 MR. KOTOSKE: That's right. Don't

5 THE COURT: It's up to you, Mr. Carney.
6 MR. CARNEY: I'll wait on it. We have other
7 witnesses, and they are going to cover that.
8
Q.
(By Mr. Carney)
Let me ask you this.
I
9 interrupted your answer. Based on all of your knowledge
10 and study of PCBs over the years, I'd like to ask you what
11 are the human health effects, health problems that can be 12 caused by exposure to PCBs? And you started out and you
13 gave me those three. Will you finish your answjo er?
14 MR. KOTOSKE: Well, I have the same
15 objection. Enough is (inaudible) What he sees, I have no
16 objection to.
17 THE COURT: It's based on this information.
18 He is not making a medical diagnosis. It's based on his
19 learning, as to what he's learned, et cetera. So I'm
20 going to overrule the objection. You may answer. 21 A. In addition to those that I described, 22 further exposure beyond t]o he sore chest and the red skin
23 could lead to the chloracne we talked about earlier and,
24 again, still further exposure could lead to damages to the
25 liver, to the point where the liver is affected.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49642
128
1 Q. (By Mr. Carney) Any other health problems 2 that can be caused by exposure to PCBs?
3 A. I can't think of any more. 4 Q. Now, there's been some testimony and some 5 evidence about if you]o drink cups of PCB material or
6 something, it can cause death. Has there ever been any
7 situation you're aware of where somebody has died from
8 exposure to PCBs?
9 A. I have not heard or seen or witnessed any
10 such death. 11 Q. Why did you say -- or I don't know if it was 12 you or somebody from Monsanto. Maybe it was somebody from
13 Westinghouse -- that if you ultimately -- the extreme is 14 the PCBs could causjo e death? 15 A. I say that because my medical advisors at the 16 plants knowing how the liver can be affected and its 17 ability to repair itself told me that if it goes too far, 18 the liver, in essence, gives up. And without a liver, you 19 have death.
20 Q. Is that something unique to PCBs as an 21 industrial chemical that it can cause death? 22 A. That's not unique to PCBs. The liver damage?
23 Q. Y]p es . 24 A. Many chemicals cause that. 25 Q. There are other industrial chemicals that if
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49643
1 you get too much of them can cause death?
129
2 A. Certainly.
3 Q. Are there other chemicals that we know of
4 every day that can cause death if you get too much of
5 them?
6 A. Certainly.
7 Q. Can you give me an example?
8 A. Well, let me try to think o]p f something we
9 all --
10 MR. KOTOSKE: Well, judge, you know, let's
11 not drift too far, and I think we are. 12 MR. CARNEY: Well, I think he's making the
13 point that if you drink a gallon -
14 MR. KOTOSKE: Let's not argue in front of the
15 jury. There's a time for that.
16
THE COURT:
(inaudible) arguing. I'm going
17 to overrule the objection, but remember what we're here
18 ]o about as far as this witness is concerned.
19 MR. CARNEY: I know (inaudible).
20 A. I guess gasoline and the motor oil and the 21 gasoline in our cars are examples of materials that can 22 cause death if misused. The liquid bleach in our homes
23 and the drain cleaner that clears up our stopped-up drains
24
could cause death if misused.
(inaudible) just come to
25 mind a common, every-day kinds of things that we use and
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49644
1 yet they are hazardous if misused.
130
2 Q. (By Mr. Carney) Now, you started to mention
3 something else. I'm not sure this has been clearly
4 mentioned in this case yet (inaudible). Are there other
5 industrial chemicals that cause chloracne?
6 A. Yes, sir.
7 Q. You mentioned -- I goes you did mention
8 earlier the wood preservative. Can you give me some other
9 examples of chemicals thatjo are industrial chemicals that
10 cause chloracne?
11 A. Well, I suppose I could rattle off a group of 12 chemicals, but I think I could shorten it by saying that
13 most of the family of chemicals that are referred to by
14 the chemist as chlorinated hydrocarbons, that's carbon and
15 hydrogen with a chlorine, that combination leads to many
16 chemicals that can cause this chloracne symptom.
17 Q. And those chemicals also cause l]o iver damage?
18 A. Yes.
19 MR. KOTOSKE: I'll stipulate that they will.
20 MR. CARNEY: Good. 21 THE COURT: Do you? 22 MR. CARNEY: Good.
23 Q. (By Mr. Carney) Are there other industrial
24 chemicals that can cause skin irritation, redness of the
25 skin that we heard some plaintiffs talk about?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49645
131
p1 A. Certainly. There's many of those, of course.
2 Q. Just give a couple of examples. 3 A. Paint thinners, anything that blends well 4 with the fats and oils that will extract the fat out of 5 the skin will redden the skin. That's paint thinners, the 6 dry cleaner fluid, triethylene, perchloroethylene. These 7 kinds of things will extract oils and will cause 8 reddening. 9 Q. I want to briefly cover this topic, and I
10 want to get into it a li]p ttle more today. You've mentioned 11 what you told Monsanto workers about safe handling or 12 precautions with PCBs. Did Monsanto give any information
13 to its customers about safe handling of PCBs? 14 A. Yes, they did. 15 Q. Can you describe the types of information? 16 We've already had some mention of the labels, but can you 17 describe some of the other information that was given to 18 Monsanto's customers about that subjeep t? 19 A. The other information includes primarily
20 booklets and brochures that describe the product and its 21 properties and its uses. There are sections in those 22 brochures that highlight the safe handling required for
23 that particular material. 24 Q. Was there also correspondence between 25 customers such as Westinghouse back and forth, questions?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49646
132
1 A. Very much of that, where individuals^) from our
2 customers' plants would inquire directly to Monsanto with
3 sometimes a general question and sometimes a very
4 specific. And the medical department would respond to
5 those either by a return telephone call or a letter,
6 sometimes a visit, whatever was appropriate.
7 Q. Now, when you were plant manager at Anniston,
8 did you have any of your PCB workers that came down with
9 chloracne?
10 A. No.
11 I5
12
Q. Any liver damage - A. No.
13 Q. -- because of exposure to PCBs?
14 A. No, sir.
15 Q. Did you have any problems with dermatitis or
16 a reddening or a rash of the skin with a PCB worker while
17 you were plant manager at the Anniston, Alabama, plant?
18 A. I recall one case, the individual who,
19 incidentally, was a 30-year employee and a chief operator.
20 TH]p E REPORTER: And a what? 21 A. And a chief operator just didn't put on his 22 gloves when he was filling a tank car and taking a sample
23 of the material, and he didn't do that for several evening
24 shifts in a row.
25 Q. (By Mr. Carney) He didn't wear gloves for
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49647
1 several evenings?
133
2 A. That's right. He finally noticed his hands
3 getting red, and he reported it to the doctor. And, of
4 ]o course, the doctor told him how to treat it and then told
5 him to wear his gloves, as he should be. So the doctor
6 then in his daily stop by my office told me about it. And
7 I made it a point to wait for that evening shift to meet
8 the employee, and I saw his hands. They were red and had
9 broken hair lines with evidence of past bleeding by that
10 time. He was treating. And he sheepishly admitted that
11 he should have known better.
12 MR. KOTOSKE: Objection. Let's strike the
13 whole thing as hearsay.
14 MR. CARNEY: I think it goes to the knowledge
15 of Monsanto employees.
16
MR. KOTOSKE:
(inaudible).
17 THE COURT: I'll allow the answer.
18 Overruled. You may finish your answer.
19 A. He sheepishly admitted to me that he should
20 have known better. He was wearing his gloves.
21 Q. (By Mr.]p Carney) Did he miss any work?
22 A. No.
23 Q. Did that problem ever occur again?
24 A. No.
25 Q. Did you ever in any of the five years you
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49648
134
1 were Anniston plant manager ever see any other injury of
2 any kind related to PCB exposure?
3 A. I didn't.
4 Q. Whether it was skin rash or any kind of
5 injury?
6 A. I did not.
7
Q. ]o
Is there a difference that you observed
8 between the skin rash that you saw of a PCB worker and the
9 chloracne that you observed that you described earlier?
10 A. Yeah, to me there was a definite difference.
11 Q. Can you describe to the jury the difference
12 between a skin rash from a PCB worker that you saw and
13 chloracne?
14 MR. KOTOSKE: Judge, same objection. I hope
15 this is not going to be construedjo as any kind of medical
16 diagnosis with any medical overtones.
17 THE COURT: You're not representing that, are
18 you?
19 MR. CARNEY: No. He's seen both, and I just
20 want him to describe what he saw.
21 THE COURT: He can describe what he saw.
22 A. The skin rash definitely was a reddening of
23 the skin. I don't know quite what to compare it with. It
24 was an angry looking kind of red]o skin; whereas, the
25 chloracne, I didn't see any redness. I just saw the
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49649
135
1 imperfect texture of the skin. It was rough, along with 2 the blackheads. 3 Q. (By Mr. Carney) Let's go back. I'd like to 4 give the jury a little bit of background about Monsanto's 5 history. And I'm going to be very, very brief about it. 6 I think there's been some mention, Monsanto was founded in 7 1901? 8 A. Y]p es . 9 Q. What was it -- What was the company's first 10 product, if you recall? 11 A. Saccharin. 12 Q. And what are the types of businesses that 13 Monsanto is in now or in the last, say, five years? 14 A. They are in the fibers business. They 15 manufacture fibers that are used in Wear-Dated clothing or 16 in the Wear-Dated carpeting, the acrylon and nylon fibers. 17 They make the sweetener Nutra-Sweejo t. They are in the diet 18 drinks that we see. They make many of the plastics we 19 find in the automobiles these days, the dashboard, the 20 paneling, the outside trim. And they also make the 21 plastic liner that's in the safety glass for your 22 windshield and also for those windows that are now -- they 23 have a colored sheet in there to keep out sunlight. And 24 they make that same liner for building windows in the sky 25 scrapers that we no]o w see with the glass that you can see
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49650
136
1 out, but you can't see in kind of thing. Of course, they
2 make a lot of chemicals for other industries. They make
3 many of the ingredients that go into detergents like the
4 shampoos and so on, the liquid soap. They make materials
5 that go into plastics to make them soft that I talked
6 about earlier, plasticizer. They make a lot of the
7 chemicals that go into rubber tires so the t]p ires don't
8 crack and dry and stay flexible and sturdy and reliable.
9 I can't think of any more.
10 Q. I think that's enough. I wanted to give a
11 little flavor of the company. Monsanto has some plants
12 located near this courthouse?
13 A. Yes.
14 Q. Can you name the ones in the city of
15 St. Louis?
16 A. There is one on the South Second Street.
17
That's the Queeny plant we talked about.]o
Then there is
18 one in south St. Louis, the Carondelet plant.
19 Q. And there is one, of course, across the
20 river, Sauget?
21 A. Sauget, yes, sir.
22 Q. And Monsanto's headquarters are out on
23 Lindbergh and Olive; is that correct?
24 A. That's correct, yes.
25 Q. The Carondelet plant down in south St. Louis
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49651
137
1 makes ingredients for toothpaste and other tooth producjo ts?
2 A. Yes, sir.
3 Q. I almost hesitate to ask this question, but I
4 want you to be very brief. And I'll ask you to give a
5 very brief explanation of what PCBs are made of. And I've
6 heard you give a detailed explanation, and I couldn't
7 follow it. So if you could just be real brief, I think
8 that's all we need.
9 A. I'll try. We start out with -
10 THE REPORTER: One moment.
11 ]o
(The reporter changed paper.)
12 A. We start out with two common chemicals that's
13 common to most of us, I believe. There is chlorine gas,
14 just like the chlorine used to sterilize public swimming
15 pools. And we start with benzene, which is an ingredient,
16 for example, in gasoline. The benzene is heated at a high
17 temperature and pressure, and it makes biphenyl, two
18 benzenes combined to make biphenyl. The biphenjo yl at room
19 temperature looks like white candle wax. So it's kept
20 heated so it's molten. We bubble chlorine through it.
21 The chlorine attaches itself to the biphenyl, and we start
22 making chlorinated biphenyl. And depending on which of
23 the chlorinated biphenyls we need, the chlorination is
24 either a short one or a longer one. At the -- I'm sorry.
25 Q. I'm sorry. Go ahead.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49652
138
1 A. At the end,]p that mixture is boiled off, and 2 the vapors are cooled, and you collect the good PCB. The 3 bottom is a brown or black tar that is discarded. 4 Q. What do the PCBs look like after they are 5 manufactured? 6 A. The lower chlorinated, like the 1242 type, 7 look very much like baby oil or the mineral oil you buy in 8 the drugstore. It's about that consistency. And it's 9 water clear. Once in a while it might be describejo d as 10 having a faint yellow color to it, but generally when it's 11 real pure it's like baby oil. The higher chlorinated ones 12 pick up this yellow tint. And finally when you get to the 13 very high chlorinated ones, they become a solid like the 14 Aroclor 1268 when it's ground up looks like table salt. 15 Q. So it's not a liquid at all at that point? 16 A. That is true. 17 Q. What do PCBs smell like? We have had a]o lot 18 of testimony about that. I'd like your (inaudible). 19 You've been in the (inaudible). 20 A. To me, they remind me of disinfectant kind of 21 odor, like many of the household disinfectants, those 22 without the perfumes in them, sort of a medicinal kind of 23 odor, the kind you might associate with, again, in my 24 mind, with an operating room disinfectant kind of aroma. 25 Q. Do they smell at all like rotten eggs?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49653
139
1 A. That's the first I heard of that expression 2 was in this courtroom. I've never heard that description 3 before. 4 Q. And what was Monsanto's trade name for PCBs? 5 A. Aroclor was one of the trade names, followed 6 by a number. 7 Q. And most of the PCBs that were sent to the 8 Bloomington plant were what type of Aroclor? 9 A. Aroclor 1242. 10 Q. A]p nd I may give a little more detail on this 11 later, but was there another PCB that was about the same 12 chlorination as Aroclor 1242? 13 A. Yes, there was. 14 Q. And what was that called? 15 A. Aroclor 1016. 16 Q. And both these two PCBs, what percentage of 17 the amount of PCBs sent to Bloomington were these Aroclor 18 1242 or 1016, which are about the same? 19 A. Oh, gosh, over 99 1/2 percejo nt, very close to 20 100 percent. 21 Q. Of all the PCBs sent to Bloomington were this 22 1242 or its sister compound, 1016? 23 A. That's right. 24 Q. Was there any of the 1260 that we have heard 25 about and tested at IBT that went to Bloomington?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49654
140
1 A. No, not that I know of.
2 Q. And there was a tiny, tiny amount of 1254? 3 A. A little bit, yes. 4 ]p Q. So the overwhelming majority, in fact, 99 5 over 99 percent of PCBs sent to Bloomington was 1242 or 6 the related 1016 which had the same chlorination? 7 A. That's correct. 8 Q. These are both what you would call lower 9 chlorinated PCBs? 10 A. Yes. 11 (Ms. Pape replaced Ms. Carter.) 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

1 Q. And the PCBsjo that Renate Kimbrough found some 2 problems with in the rats, were they the lower chlorinated 3 1242 or the higher chlorinated? 4 A. They were the higher chlorinated 1260. 5 Q. 1260. And no 1260 even went to Bloomington, 6 did it? 7 A. That is true. 8 Q. And the 1242 means 42 percent chlorination? 9 Or am I--describe the 42--1242--what the 42 means. 10 A. 42--it says tha]o t--let me put it this way: For 11 every 100 pounds of that PCB, 42 pounds of that is chlorine. 12 Q. And in the 1254 would mean--? 13 A. 54 percent by weight is chlorine--54 pounds 14 out of every 100 pounds. 15 Q. And the 1260, the 60 would mean the same 16 thing--60 pounds? 17 A. Correct. 18 Q. Chlorine by weight? 19 A. Correct. 20 Q. Just for curijo osity, why did you have 1016? 21 Why did you not have that the 1242 or have a 42 at the end of 22 it since it was 42 pounds chlorinated by weight? 23 A. We tried that, but it caused so much confusion 24 in the minds of everybody connected with it. They couldn't 25 tell whether we're talking about the older product or the new
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49656
142
1 product. And in order to avoid that confusion, we decided to
2 keep the number 1016 whip ch was used back at the laboratory to
3 identify that material while it was under test.
4 Q. And the 1016 was the product that Monsanto
5 made to replace the 1242?
6 A. Yes.
7 Q. And that came about in trying to find a PCB
8 that wouldn't harm the environment?
9 A. That was the intent, yes, sir.
10 Q. Mr. Kotoske has talked about the profits on
11 PCBs. Can you give me som]p e idea--give the jury some idea as
12 to how profitable an item of PCBs was for Monsanto as
13 compared to the other products that it had?
14 A. I guess the best way I can describe it is just
15 to say that PCBs were not what I want to call a star product.
16 They were a good average product for a chemical company.
17 Q. Indeed, Monsanto was the only producer or
18 manufacturer of PCBs in the United States?
19
p A.
That is correct.
20 Q. Did Monsanto have a patent on PCBs?
21 A. No, it did not.
22 Q. And there were other manufacturers of PCBs in
23 the world?
24 A. Yes.
25 Q. Japan?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49657
1 A. Yes.
143
2 Q. And what countries in Europe had companies
3 that manufactured PCBs?
4 A. Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Czechoslovakia
5 ]p and Russia.
6 Q. Did Monsanto sell its PCB products to the
7 United States Government?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. To which branches?
10 A. The Department of Defense--all the military
11 installations and the like--the General Services
12 Administration, the T.V.A. Authority, the Rural
13 Electrification Administration. That's all I can think of at
14 the moment.
15 Q. What ]o did the Government use the PCBs for that
16 they bought--the United States Government?
17 A. They use it in power distribution
18 equipment--electrical equipment.
19 Q. Transformers and capacitors?
20 A. Transformers and capacitors, yes, sir.
21 Q. Who were the first customers for PCBs that
22 were made at the plant back in 1935 that Monsanto bought?
23 A. The electrical equipment
24 ]o manufacturers--General Electric, Westinghouse .
25 Q. For how many years did Westinghouse purchase
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49658
144
1 Monsanto's PCBs for use as a dielec--for use in transformers 2 and capacitors? 3 A. Over 40 years. From the middle '30s to--to 4 '77 . 5 Q. So the Bloomington plant--the Westinghouse 6 Bloomington plant was opened in about 1958, so for over 20 7 years Westinghouse had been buying ]o PCBs from Monsanto prior 8 to Bloomington plant being opened? 9 A. That is correct. 10 Q. Let me hand you this book and I'm gonna ask 11 you to look at Exhibit D-246. 12 MR. KOTOSKE: No objection if he wants to offer 13 that. 14 MR. CARNEY: Just briefly, I want to describe the 15 D-246 and D-247. Can you describe those exhibits for the 16 jury? 17 A. Yes. These are U.S. ]o patents issued to 18 representatives of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation and 19 they refer to the use of chemicals that are added to 20 transformer PCB-type oils to make them perform better and to 21 make them more stable. 22 MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, I would offer these two 23 Westinghouse patents in evidence at this time. 24 MR. KOTOSKE: What's the other one--246? 25 MR. CARNEY: 247. 246 and 247.

MR. KOTOSKE: No objection.
THE COURT: So admitted into evidence. Both of
' em.
BY MR. CARNEY:
Q. Westinghouse had patents on the use of PCBs in
electrical equipment, correct?
A. As reflected by something like these two.
Q. And 247 covers an additive that Westinghouse
added to PCBs to make a better PCB for the electrical
equipment? A. That is correct.
Q. Next I'd like to refer to D-54 and D-55.
I'd
like you to look at those.
MR. KOTOSKE: You mean 254 and 255, don't you?
MR. CARNEY: I'm sorry. Defendant's Exhibit 254
and 255.
MR. KOTOSKE: I'll have an objection to 254 because
that has to do with Westinghouse Inerteen transformers which
has nothing to do with this case. And 255 is tranjo sformers.
If he's got some for capacitors, I don't care, but I don't
want transformers going into this case.
MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, this--these are PCBs. Or
it's the transformers using PCBs, and it goes to the
knowledge of Westinghouse about these.
THE COURT: Overruled.

A. Will you help me find it again, sir?
Q. Let me do that. Why don't I read this one
because I--it probably goes quicker if I read it. "In this
Golden Jubilee Year, Westinghouse takes pleasure in
presenting Inerteen."
MR. KOTOSKE: I'll s]o tipulate that's what it says.
MR. CARNEY: "Much time and effort have been
expended in developing this truly nonflammable liquid which
may be used as a substitute for transformer oil. Research
work to bring about this outstanding development dates back
to the year 1921 when the United States patent"--I won't read
the number--"was assigned to Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company. Inerteen was first used commejo rcially
in transformers early in 1933. Inerteen has been approved by
the National Board of Fire Underwriters, thus making possible
its use for many applications where oil-insulated
transformers carry restrictions." And that's a
document--what' s the date of that document?
A. 1936.
Q. Okay.
MR. CARNEY: Your Honor, this will probably be a --

15
MR. CARNEY: D as in David.
Defendant's Exhibit
16 255 which has been admitted into evidence.
17 ]o
Q. And this is a Westinghouse 1936 document,
18 correct?
19 A. Yes, sir, it is.
20 Q. And would you go to page 7?
21 A. I have it.
22 Q. And read starting with the Inerteen Network
23 Transformers. Would you start reading there? Read the first
24 three sentences
25 A. "Westinghouse research and installation
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49664
150 1 engineers have produced a new p nonflammable insulating and
2 cooling medium for use in transformers and switches known as 3 Inerteen." 4 Q. Now, that Inerteen was Westinghouse's trade 5 name, right? 6 A. Yes. "In addition to these characteristics, 7 Inerteen has dielectric and thermal characteristics equal to 8 or better than transformer oil. It is nonflammable in the 9 sense that it cannot be made to burn, and nonexplosive since 10 p the gas given off is noncombustible when mixed with air in 11 any proportion." 12 Q. Okay. Now, go down to the sentence starting 13 more or less. 14 A. "More or less irritation to the skin may be 15 expected in handling these liquids, and, for this reason, 16 care is necessary when working around transformers and 17 switches in which they are used." 18 Q. Okay. Are you familiar with the type of 19 cap pacitors that were manufactured at the Westinghouse 20 Bloomington plant between 1958 and 1977? 21 A. To a degree, yes. 22 Q. And was Westinghouse plant--well, was 23 Westinghouse one of the largest PCB customers of Monsanto? 24 A. Yes. 25 Q. Next to General Electric?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49665
1 A. Yes.
151
2 Q. What is a capacitor? Can you just explain it
3 briefly?
4 ]o
A. I'll try. Since I'm not an electrical
5 engineer, I'll try to use my layman's understanding.
6 Q. That would help everybody.
7 A. It's a device that is used to store electrical
8 energy and to release it in--when needed in sudden bursts to
9 run motors, for example, or to send power along transmission
10 lines on to its destination, wherever it's headed, so that it
11 gets to that destination at the righjo t level, so it doesn't
12 peter out and there's nothing there at the end of the line.
13 Q. Did Westinghouse buy Monsanto PCBs for use in
14 any products other than capacitors at the Bloomington plant?
15 A. No.
16 Q. Did Westinghouse also buy PCBs for other
17 plants that it owned?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. Tell me what those--just mention those other
20 plants--Westinghouse plants that b]o ought PCBs for capacitors
21 or transformers.
22 A. Sharon, Pennsylvania, and South Boston,
23 Virginia.
24 Q. Were those transformer or capacitor plants?
25 A. Transformer plants.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49666
152
1 Q. Okay. Did they also use PCBs at Westinghouse
2 in its Muncie, Indiana, plant?
3 A. There was a time, yes, when they did.
4 Q. Did Westinghouse also use PCBs in]p its
5 Cincinnati, Ohio, plant, if you know?
6 A. I don't remember that.
7 Q. And where were the headquarters of
8 Westinghouse?
9 A. Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
10 Q. How were PCBs shipped to the Bloomington
11 plant?
12 A. In tank cars--railroad tank cars.
13 Q. Were there also some 55-gallon drums shipped?
14 A. Oh, yes. Yes.
15
]o Q.
But the vast majority of the PCBs went by tank
16 cars to the Bloomington plant?
17 A. Yes.
18 Q. Take a look at Exhibit 248 and 250. Can you
19 identify Exhibit 248?
20 A. 248 is a copy of a Westinghouse purchasing
21 department specification for 54201 CF and CH.
22 Q. Are those PCBs?
23 A. (No oral response.)
24 Q. Let me ask you this, Mr. Papageorge: Was thisjo
25 a specification for Inerteen for capacitors?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49667
1 A. Yes.
153
2 Q. And this was a Westinghouse specification
3 telling Monsanto how they wanted their Inerteen manufactured?
4 A. Not--not manufactured, but how they
5 wanted--what properties they expected of the Inerteen when
6 they received it.
7 Q. And did Monsanto follow the Westinghouse
8 specifications in makingjo and sending PCBs to the Bloomington
9 plant?
10 A. Yes.
11 Q. Take a look--and that's a specification made
12 in 1961, correct--Westinghouse specification?
13 A. That is correct.
14 Q. Take a look at the next exhibit--250.
15 A. I have it.
16 Q. Is that a Westinghouse specification for
17 Inerteen for capacitors?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. p And that's dated 1971?
20 A. Yes.
21 Q. And did Monsanto follow this specification in
22 making and delivering to Westinghouse PCBs for the
23 Bloomington plant?
24 A. Yes.
25 Q. What is the purpose of these specifications
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49668
154
1 that Westinghouse sent to Monsanto for capacitors for
2 Inerteen?
3 A. It's to inform Monsanto of the type of product
4 that^) Westinghouse expected to be delivered to its plants.
5 Q. It would describe the chemical, physical and
6 electrical properties that Westinghouse required PCBs to
7 meet?
8 A. Yes.
9 Q. Did Westinghouse have any procedures for
10 testing the PCBs that it received from Monsanto to make sure
11 it met its specifications?
12 A. They did.
13 Q. Did Westinghouse Bloomington plant ]o test the
14 PCBs when they came in railroad tank cars?
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. And what would happen if the PCB tank car
17 shipment didn't meet the Westinghouse specification?
18 A. If it was slightly out of specification, they
19 would attempt to treat it in their own plant. If it was far
20 off specification, they would send the tank car back to
21 Monsanto.
22 Q. Did that ever happen?
23 ]o
A. Occasionally.
24 Q. Were PCBs a good dielectric product for use in
25 capacitors ?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49669
155
1 A. The best. 2 Q. Why were they the best? 3 A. Well, of course, they had near perfect 4 electrical properties. But in addition to that, they had 5 this resistance to burning--to fire that was very important. 6 Q. What does fire-resistant mean? 7 ]o A. It means that the material, even in the 8 presence of air, will not support a flame. The flame will 9 keep snuffing out. It will not keep burning. 10 Q. Why is it important to have a fire-resistant 11 material in a capacitor? 12 A. Well, many capacitors are installed in 13 locations that involved valuable property and, of course, the 14 presence of people. And, of course, the idea there is to 15 prevent any ]o disastrous fires from resulting because of a 16 failed capacitor that erupts into a flame and then spews 17 burning oil in all directions. 18 Q. Were capacitors and transformers used in 19 public places like stadiums and subway stations and high-rise 20 buildings? 21 A. Exactly, yes. 22 Q. What is a--what is a building code? 23 A. Well, a building code is a set of--of the 24 listed requiremejo nts describing the kinds of things that a 25 community will--expects in the construction of a building.
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49670
156
1 Q. Did any of the building codes in the 2 United States require the use of PCBs? 3 A. Many of the building codes in the 4 United States did require that, yes. 5 Q. For what reason? 6 A. For safety protection--for fire protection. 7 MR. CARNEY: Before I forg]p et, Your Honor, I--I had 8 the witness identify the exhibits 250 and 248--the Inerteen 9 Westinghouse specifications for capacitors. I would offer 10 those exhibits. 11 THE COURT: Any objections? 12 MR. KOTOSKE: No objection to 250. I want that in. 13 But I got a problem with 248. And it's not a big problem. 14 My exhibit has a 248-A attached to it. Does yours? 15 THE COURT: No. 16 MR. KO]p TOSKE: Should I just discard-17 MR. CARNEY: I'll tell you what the difference is, 18 Judge. 19 THE COURT: No, wait. I'm sorry. It does. 20 MR. KOTOSKE: Well, is he offering 24-21 THE COURT: Yeah. 22 MR. CARNEY: I believe they're the same document 23 except one of 'em came out of--let me make sure on this. 24 MR. KOTOSKE: And the other problem, Judge--I don't 25 think it]p 's major. This one--248--it's got a whole lot of

1 handwriting notes.
2 MR. CARNEY: Oh, I--
3 MR. KOTOSKE: Do you know what that means? Other
4 than that, I--you know, I don't object to it unless
5 (inaudible). But I want the exhibit in. I just don't want
6 it in this form.
7 MR. CARNEY: Okay. What we have here is the same
8 document. One of 'em has Westinghouse bar codes on it]p .
9 That's 248-A which is, I believe, what you have. The other--
10 MR. KOTOSKE: Is that the one you wanted to use?
11 MR. CARNEY: And that's fine.
12 THE COURT: Want to use A?
13
MR. CARNEY:
(Inaudible).
14 THE COURT: All right.
15 MR. KOTOSKE: Use this 248-A.
16 THE COURT: Defendant's Exhibit 248-A and
17 Defendant's 250 are admitted into evidence.
18 p MR. KOTOSKE: No objection.
19 BY MR. CARNEY:
20 Q. Did Westinghouse--Mr. Papageorge, did
21 Westinghouse have an industrial hygiene or a medical
22 department during the years that they were using PCBs?
23 A. Yes, they did.
24 Q. And how do you know that?
25 MR. KOTOSKE: Oh, I'll stipulate they had a medical
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49672
158
1 department.
2
MR. CARNEY:
And industrial^ hygiene department?
3 MR. KOTOSKE: Oh, I don't know about that.
4 Q. Did Westingho use also have: an industrial
5 hygiene department?
6 A. They had an industrial hygienist. I don't
7 know if they were organized into a department.
8 Q. And who was the head of the--or who was the
9 person that you had dealings with or had--or who was the
10 person that Monsanto corresponded with in the industrial) 1
11 hygiene department at Westinghouse primarily? 12 A. Mr. Speicher.
13 Q. You described how Monsanto conveyed
14 information about PCBs and safe handling to customers. Let's
15 focus on Westinghouse because that's the customer that was
16 involved in this case. How did Monsanto give Westinghouse
17 information about how to handle PCBs safely? Could you
18 summarize the different types of information?
19 ]o A. There were, of course, the product bulletins
20 that were made available to many people at Westinghouse --
21 research people, manufacturing people, health people. There
22 were, of course, discussions--person-to-person kind of
23 discussions. The opportunities for that were many. Examples
24 include the contact from Monsanto sales representative who
25 would drop by with brochures in hand and any new information
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49673
159
1 p that he might be brought up to speed on. There were
2 opportunities for Westinghouse people to come to St. Louis 3 and sit down with the--the right people at Monsanto and have 4 these discussions. Opportunities also for individuals from 5 Westinghouse to go to Monsanto plants and then compare notes. 6 That's all that comes to mind now, but-7 Q. Okay. And we'll get into some of those 8 documents tomorrow if we don't get into i]p t today. And, of 9 course, there were warning labels that were put on all the 10 drums? 11 A. Oh, yes. Yes.
12 Q. How do you know the Monsanto warning label was
13 put on every drum of PCBs? 14 A. Well, the procedure at Monsanto for labeling 15 drums involves many individuals whose job it is to check that 16 label through that system. The label is applied to the drum 17 by the individual in charge p of the drumming facility. That 18 drum is labeled before the contents--before the materials is 19 put into the drum. It's moved, then, into the filling 20 station where the individual who fills it again checks that
21 label to see that it's getting--it's labeled with the 22 material it's going to receive. When the drum is full, it
23 is, of course, stenciled with other information like lot 24 numbers and dates and so on. And that's then sent over!) and 25 put on a pallet--four drums to a pallet. Other individuals
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49674
160
1 with fork lift trucks come by when notified to pick up that 2 day's drumming and take it to a warehouse. The individual 3 picking it up checks the labels again to make certain that 4 all four drums on each pallet has the right label on it. 5 Because he's carrying a ticket that tells him what kind of 6 material he's to pick up and where he is supposed t]p o take it. 7 When it arrives at the warehouse, the area designated for 8 that particular load, there is another individual in charge 9 of that warehouse who makes sure that what goes into that bay 10 or that area is the right material. And he fills out his 11 ticket. So that when all these papers go back, then, to the 12 office, they should all match. And then later when a 13 shipment is made, the shipping people know exactly where to 14 ]o go to get the right material to make the proper shipment. 15 Q. Because of those procedures that you talked 16 about, are you certain that every PCB drum that would have 17 PCBs in it that was sold by Monsanto had a label? 18 A. Yes. 19 Q. And it had a Monsanto warning on it? 20 A. Yes. 21 Q. You've described, Mr. Papageorge, how--in a 22 general way how Monsanto conveyed information a]p bout PCBs to 23 Westinghouse. Can you tell me whether Westinghouse had any 24 knowledge about PCBs other than what was given to them by 25 Monsanto?
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49675
161
1 MR. KOTOSKE: This is gonna call for hearsay and 2 I'm gonna object. I just don't want to get caught short. 3 MR. CARNEY: I think this--you know, this goes to 4 our knowledge as to what Westinghouse knew. I think it goes 5 to that issue. 6 THE COURT: You want to come over? 7 MR. KOTOSKE: Yeah, I think so. 8 (A discussion was had at the Bench.) 9 THE COURT: You may proceed. 10 Q. Mr. Papageorge, did you know certain people at 11 Westinghouse that worked for Westinghouse? 12 A. I did, yes. 13 Q. Tell me the people that you knew personally. 14 A. I recall a Mr. Don McClain. 15 Q. Where did he work? 16 A. Bloomington, Indiana. 17 Q. Westinghouse Bloomington plant? 18 A. Yes, sir. 19 Q. Okay. 20 A. Dr. T. K. Sloat. 21 THE REPORTER: Dr. whom? 22 THE WITNESS: T. K. Sloat--S-l-o-a-t. He was with 23 the Sharon, Pennsylvania, transformer plant. I remember a 24 Mr. Wilburn. I believe he was with the South Boston, 25 V]o irginia, plant. There was a Dr. Dakin--D-a-k-i-n--in the

1 research dependent in Pittsburg.
2 Q. Did you know a Mr. Mandelkorn?
3 A. Mandelkorn, also with research, yes, sir.
4 Q. Did you have discussions with these people and
5 meetings with these people and telephone conversations with
6 these people?
7 A. Many times.
8 Q. Based on those discussions and col) nversations
9 that you had--let's take 'em one at a time. Let's talk about
10 D. T. Sloat.
11 MR. KOTOSKE: Your Honor, just one other thing.
12 Can we have a rough time frame when it happened?
13 THE COURT: Sure.
14 Q. What was the time period that you knew
15 Mr. Sloat?
16 A. 1970 through 1976. And I still know him
17 today, I guess, but I worked with him through '76.
18
]o Q.
What was the state of Mr. Sloat's knowledge
19 with regard to PCBs?
20 MR. KOTOSKE: Well, see, that's the problem.
21 Objection.
22 Q. Based on your personal knowledge and
23 experience and discussion.
24 THE COURT: He can relate to the tenor of the
25 discussions. He can get into what was discussed and then the
Papageorge, William P.E. (fmr Mons Mgr Occ Hlth) in G. BROWN
TOWOLDMONOQ49677
163
1 jury can make the necessary conclusions. So go ahead and do 2 ]o that. 3 Q. Go ahead. 4 A. Dr. Sloat, to me, was the key Westinghouse 5 individual who knew an awful lot about PCB and transformers. 6 He was Mr. Transformer--Mr. Westinghouse Transformer --in my 7 way of observing him. He was a pioneer in a way, and 8 certainly knew a lot more about PCBs than I did in the 9 transformer application.
10 Q. Did he indicate through the discussions you 11 had witjo h him any knowledge about toxicity of PCBs? 12 A. Oh, yes. In fact, he taught me a few things.
13 Q. Did he -- 14 MR. KOTOSKE: Okay. Now, the objection. You 15 forced the issue. Now, the objection is learned (inaudible). 16 MR. CARNEY: Well, Your Honor, could we do this at 17 side bar? I don't want to get into speeches. 18 THE COURT: Yeah. That's a legal point. 19 (A]p discussion was had at the Bench.)
20 THE COURT: All right. Ladies and gentlemen, we're 21 gonna--I'm sure you'll be disappointed to hear this, but 22 we're gonna stop for today. And the attorneys and I have
23 some matters in chambers that we have to discuss further, so 24 I'm gonna ask you all to be here at 10:15 tomorrow morning, 25 so (inaudible). Again, do not discuss the case among
