(A) See answer to Interrogatory No. 18, above.
(B) Fred Pundsack, Senior Vice President, Research and Development.
20. Answer:
See answer to Interrogatory No. 15 above. In addition
in 1968, Johns-Manvilie joined in the establishment of the
Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Program of Mt. Sinai Hospital.
The purposes of this study are:
;
(1) To develop improved methods of minimizing inhalation
by insulation workers of dust and fumes encountered .
in their work;
i
(2) To disseminate knowledge of those improved methods
;
of dust and fume control wherever they may be
1
applied advantageously; and
ij (3) 'lb offer cooperation, advice and assistance toward
]i universal adoption of these methods. i'
The Program Director is Irving J. Selikoff, M.D. , ji Director of the Environmental Sciences Laboratory, Mt. Sinai ! School of Medicine, New York, New York. These studies have not i been concluded. Reports have been published from time to time ; and circulated to the trade through the union and are presumably
available to Plaintiff's attorney through the Director of the Program, Dr. Irving J. Selikoff. In 1969-1970, at Defendant's 1 Research and Engineering Center at Manville, New Jersey, tests were conducted for the Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Program '| by Thomas J. Weeks and Allen F. Bums, published in the American |! Industrial Hygiene Association Journal (May-June, 1970).
!J
Defendant, through its membership in the National Insu lt lation Manufacturers Association has funed, in part, the studies
conducted by Dr.Clark Cooper, et 'al. / at the University of Ij California at Berkeley. The following have been generated by ii this study: ||

26. Answer: Yes .
27. Answer:
Defendant states that it does not understand what Plaintiff means by injury resulting from the use of the products. Once theproducts have beeninstalled, they are essentially immobile and not tised by workers. They merely become an integral part of a functioning system. If, however. Plaintiff's question has reference to the handling and/or application and/or installation of Defendant's products by insulation workers so that such products may serve their end use, then Defendant answers as follows:
j ,
j
; [
Defendant makes regulation inspections of areas where
workers who a e employed by Defendant are working with finished
insulation p:
manufactured by Defendant which contain
asbes tos.
j
| ;
ant has affixed caution labels on the packaging of it s ir.d . --'Lai products which contain asbestos as follows:
CAUTION
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER.
INHALATION OF ASBESTOS IN EXCESSIVE QUANTITIES OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME MAY BE HARMFUL.
IF DUST IS CREATED WHEN THIS PRODUCT IS HANDLED, AVOID BREATHING THE DUST.
IF ADEQUATE VENTILATION CONTROL IS NOT POSSIBLE, WEAR RESPIRATORS APPROVED BY THE U. S. BUREAU OF MINES FOR PNEUMOCO NIOSIS-PRODUCING DUSTS.
