The black and white sheets were first completed in 1971 with revisions made over the years. The red and white sheets were produced in 1982. To the best of our knowledge, no records of materials such as MSDSs were kept until recently. Also enclosed are sample Technical Data Sheets from the early 70Ts. These were part of our submittal for the PVC fire cases. If it is necessary to do a more in-depth search for this type of information, you should check with Elizabeth O'Conner. She is familiar with old PVC records. T. G. Grumbles ajo Enclosures vvv 000012203 (conoco Conoco Chemicals Company A Division of Conoco Inc. 15990 North Barker's Landing Road P.O. Box 19029 Houston, TX 77224 June 18, 1984 Mr. Bob Archer Director of Health and Safety Millipore Corporation 80 Ashby Road Bedford, MA 01730 * Dear Bob: Enclosed are my comments on the meeting minutes from Detroit. I have put some suggestions in the text, but where suggested revisions were too lengthy for this. I've put comments below with corresponding numbers in the text. In general, I think the content of our meetings was important enough that a little more detail should be in the minutes as to our discussions. A. Add 2 - The need, scope and function of executive sessions. 1. Suggest expanding to state: "Based on the defined responsibility and scope of function defined in the AIHA By-Laws, Article XII, Section 1, the Board cannot restrict the activities of the audit committee. This is a basic issue. Furthermore, it would follow that the Board cannot restrict audit committee attendance at "closed" or executive sessions. 2. The Board should discuss the intent, content, and need for an executive session and vote whether to go into executive session. 3. At the invitation of the Board members present at the morning AC session, the full AC attended the afternoon Board meeting to present and discuss our position and actions regarding executive sessions. 4. Should be restated as on page one. 5. In response to the AC proposal as a compromise on executive sessions, and to address the Board's concern on the consistency of decision making criteria for executive session attendance, the AC expressed a willingness . . . 6. To clearly indicate that the annual report was approved by the AC, suggest: The annual report, with the exception of item 4 was approved by the committee. Section 4 would be finalized on Monday a.m. after hearing further comment from the Board on our proposal. 000012^0/* Bob Archer Page 2 June 18. 1984 Some further general comments. Should we indicate the post-lunch discussion on Sunday in some fashion? Should we indicate somewhere our reaction to C. Powell's "blue-ribbon" panel proposal? Please call if you have questions or comments on these suggested revisions. Sincerely * *>----------------------Thomas G. Grumbles, C.X.H.
