Dear Gordon:
I have enclosed a proposed Rule 11 Agreement. In the event that this agreement meets with your approval, I will not call Mr. Theodore Torkelson as an expert witness. Mr. Torkelson generally will testify as to the knowledge in the medical and scientific literature of the hazards of exposure to vinyl chloride. Mr. Torkelson's opinions in this regard are generally the same as those expressed by Dr. Legator in this case as well as in the following cases in which Dr. Legator has given expert opinions:
Joseph Edward Powell, et al vs. Pulte. et al: No. 84-75865; In the District Court of Harris County, Texas; 151st Judicial District;
Kevin Jones, et ux. et al vs. Farm & Home Savings Association, et al: No. 85-17210; In the District Court of Harris County, Texas; 189th Judicial District;

These additional depositions are available for your review to confirm Dr. Legator's prior testimony in which he has repeatedly stated the knowledge of the hazards of exposure to vinyl chloride first came to the attention of the medical and scientific community in the early to mid-1970's.
