Peterson Toxicology Consultants, Inc. 5202 Denton Place Madison, Wisconsin 53711 Re: Nevada Power Company v. Monsanto Company, et al, USDC, District of Nevada Case CV-S-89-555-LDG (LRL) Dear Dick: This letter is to cofirm a change in your contract under the travel provision. Under "Travel expenses incurred," the paragraph containing the definition of travel expenses shall be changed to include the language, "This covers expenses generated in travelling portal to portal, to or from sites for meetings, conferences, depositions, hearings or trial. All air travel will be regular coach class unless no other accmodations are available." I hope that this will set your mind at ease on this matter. As for the other items which you felt needed to be discussed, we did receive your letter regarding the excess of $5,000 notice, and it has been approved by Paul. There will be some fine tuning on your expert statement, nothing more than some stylistic changes - the basic content of the statement which you sent will remain the same. Thank you for taking the time to work on it yesterday. Finally, if you could, while you are on vacation, please call us every other day or every third day, collect, and we will be able let you know as soon as possible when your deposition will be taken, and any other pertinent detai1s regarding the deposition as they arise. Dr. Richard Peterson July 27, 1993 Page 2 I will be calling you in a few minutes to confirm this information. Do not hesitate to call me if you have any further questions. Sincerely, rj s :bms cc: Michael Gallagher John H.
