These documents provide information that supplements and expands upon that provided in these answers to Interrogatories and Requests For Production. Accordingly, by way of further response to these Interrogatories and Requests For Production, U.S. Gypsum hereby offers to make available these documents at a mutually convenient time at its offices at 125 S. Franklin Street, Chicago, Illinois. In giving its responses to Interrogatories and Requests For Production as to asbestos-containing products, U.S. Gypsum refers to products containing commercial asbestos as part of their formulation and to the type of commercial asbestos used as part of the formulation. OBJECTIONS U.S. Gypsum objects to the manner in which plaintiff has defined U.S. Gypsum to the extent that plaintiff purports to include in its definition of U.S. Gypsum "any of its merged, consolidated, or acquired predecessors, divisions, subsidiaries, foreign subsidiaries, foreign subsidiaries of predecessors, and/or affiliates known to have mined, manufactured, sold, marketed, utilized or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products or that incorporated asbestos or asbestos-containing products into DEFENDANT'S RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFFS * INTERROGATORIES AND REOOESTS FOR PRODUCTION f:\asb3\USG3.rog Rage 2 ships or other water-going vessels. This definition includes present and former officers, directors, agents, employees, and all other persons acting or purporting to act on behalf of the corporate Defendant or its predecessors, subsidiaries, and/or affiliates known to have mined, manufactured, sold, marketed or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products. 'Predecessors' further means any business firm, whether or not incorporated, which had all or some of its assets purchased by you or came to be acquired by you whether by merger, consolidation, or otherwise known to have mined, manufactured, sold, marketed, utilized, or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products. 'Subsidiaries' further means any business firm whether or not incorporated, which is or was in any way owned or controlled, in whole or in part by Defendant or its predecessors and which is known to have mined, manufactured, sold, marketed, utilized or distributed asbestos or asbestos-containing products. Defendant is required to produce a schematic or diagram detailing its subsidiar ies, predecessors and divisions that would be included in the above definition. (See Request for Production No. 2).M In that U.S. Gypsum Company is the named defendant, this definition is overly broad and would require U.S. Gypsum to engage in unduly burdensome research, divulge privileged information and produce privileged documents. This defendant. United States Gypsum Company, responds to these Interrogatories and Requests For Production on behalf of itself. . DEFENDANT'S RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFFS' INTERROGATORIES AND REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION :\&sb3\USG3.rog Page 3 U.S. Gypsum further objects to these Interrogatories and Requests For Production to the extent they seek information or documents protected by the attorney-client privilege and the work product rule and to the extent they seek trial preparation or expert materials or documents. In addition, U.S. Gypsum objects to these Interrogatories and Requests For Production to the extent they ask for "identification11 of voluminous documents on the ground that they are overly broad, unduly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.

The cancellation of these operating bulletins usually coincided with cessation of production, but occasionally bulletins would remain uncancelled after the manufacture of a product had been discontinued. Consequently, the years shown for cancellation of authorization are believed to be the last possible year of manufacture, although manufacture may have in fact ended earlier. Production dates established through documentation other than product operating bulletins have been footnoted. Temporary and trial production runs are included (along with regular production). These have been footnoted for Firecode and can be determined for other products from a review of operating bulletins. With texture products, such runs were occasionally given slight name variations.

However, no bulletins for that plant have been located, it having been closed in 1930. 1 Sabinite may have been produced until this date, but sales diminished substantially by the mid-1950's. 3 Not sold in the United States. * Two-component Hi-Lite plaster was authorized for production in June 1953 and discontinued in August 1954. Approximately 4 tons of a temporary variant was produced during 1953, and packaged as "Lime-Keene's Acoustical Plaster." 5 Marketed as Red Top Acoustical Plaster with the word 'Spray' stenciled on the bag from 1954 to 1955; marketed as Red Top Spray On Acoustical Plaster in 1955; marketed as Red Top Audicote Acoustical Plaster from 1955 to 1968. s A trial job of 3 tons only. T Contained less than 1.0% asbestos (not asbestos-containing products under applicable law), I Two month production run only. ' Temporary production of Firecode only. 10 Trial jobs were produced in 1959 for tests by Underwriters' Laboratories; regular production commenced in 1960.II II As of December of 1969 Firecode V had been dropped from U.S. Gypsum's product line and sales of this product had not been actively solicited by the company for some time. U.S. Gypsum believes that a limited quantity of Firecode V was produced in early 1970 at the East Chicago plant for the completion of a single job already in progress. page 15 of 16 February 16, 1993 U.S. Gypsum manufactured SprayDon pursuant to the specifications of Sprayon Research Corporation, While Types A and G remained on operating bulletins until 1973, production of G was discontinued in 1970, and A was discontinued on January 1, 1972.. Type I, though authorized, was never produced. From production records, K-Fac 19 was produced for A.P. Green and packaged and sold by that company under the name INSBLOK. Information contained in plant records suggests that production may have commenced in 1969. Information contained in plant records suggests that production may have commenced in 1965. Temporary production only. Trial job authorized for temporary production only on and off from 1959 to 1961. Marketed from 1970 to 1977 as Sheetrock Texture Finish Paint in Canada. Although authorization to manufacture these products was not cancelled until 1940, the last sales took place in 1938. Actual Canadian production ceased in 1978. This product line was manufactured by a company that became a U.S. Gypsum subsidiary in 1971, and records of the production history are incomplete. Records regarding the production history of this product line are incomplete. Though authorized for production until 1978, actual production ceased in 1977. Most of the products identified in this exhibit have-a shelf life of approximately six months, with some variation due to humidity and storage conditions. It is the policy of the defendant to provide this information to all customers. Therefore, date of last production approximates date of last sale, though U.S. Gypsum is not certain whether shelf life guidelines were adhered to by its customers. Reasonable investigation is continuing. Further information concerning products which are established to be at issue is contained in documents which will be made available for inspection at the offices of United States Gypsum, 125 South Franklin Street, Chicago, IL 60606-4678. The following represents this defendant's best current information: Exhibit 1 3RGANIZATION Gypsum Association DATES OF MEMBERSHIP HEALTH HAZARDS OF ASBESTOS DISCUSSED AT MEETINGS ATTENDED BY UNITED STATES GYPSUM COMPANY PERSONNEL DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO UNITED STATES GYPSUM COMPANY______________ 1930-present Asbestos discussed at all of the following: Membership meetings: 10/27/71 - 10/28/71 E.
