The Association's Bylaws, in Article V, Section 8, authorize the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee to appoint such committees with such duties and functions as may from time to time be determined. The Bylaws further permit adop tion of regulations for the conduct of committee affairs consistent with Association policy and subject to review and approval by the Board or Executive Committee as appropriate. To assist the committees in carrying out their functions consistent with the Bylaws, certain general principles applicable to the structure and operation of all committees are formalized in this Resolution. No committee or other group operating under CMA auspices on CMA business shall deviate from these general principles, except where specifically author ized by the Executive Committee or the Board (or as determined to be necessary by the President or Secretary of the Association). As used in this Resolution, unless otherwise indicated, the term "committee" includes all CMA standing committees and such special committees as may be authorized from time to time, but does not include the Executive Committee or other commit tees composed of members of the Board. 1. Functional vs. Product Committees. The Association's committees shall continue to be or ganized primarily along functional rather than prod uct lines. No committee having to do with a particular chemical product or product segment shall be formed without approval of the Board (or in an emer gency by the President of the Association), Before agreeing to the establishment of any such commit tee, the Executive Committee shall determine whether the existing committees are adequate to handle the problem, and if not, whether the problem is of such general concern as to call for a new stand ing or special committee. All committees dealing with a particular product segment of the industry and all other committees for a temporary purpose shall be deemed ad hoc. Unless otherwise specified, the term of such committee shall be no longer than two years, subject to renewal for periods of one year or less by specific action of the Board. * As approved by the Board of Directors on March 12, 1963, and amended by the Executive Committee on March 19, 1971; July 11, 1978, and June 3, 1981. 2. Purposes. Each committee shall operate in accordance with PURPOSES setting forth its au thorized activities which have been approved by the Executive Committee. Each committee's PUR POSES shall be printed in the Association's annual Directory. 3. Organization. All committees shall, unless otherwise authorized, be subject to the following rules in respect to their organization: (a) Members. Each committee normally shall be limited to not more than 15 members. The members shall be recommended by the President of the Association and appointed by the Executive Committee from qualified full time personnel of member companies interested in supporting such activities. To the maximum ex tent practicable, appointments should be rea sonably representative of all interested member companies, taking into account such factors as their size, geographical location, chemicals manufactured, and differences in the general nature of their operations. Normally, a member company may have only one representative on a given committee. Members of any necessary task groups shall be appointed by the commit tee on the same basis. The membership of each committee should be comprised of persons well qualified in the committee's field of activity, nor mally having primary responsibilities within that field in their respective companies. Nomination for committee membership will be made by member company Executive Contacts and shall include name, company affiliation and personal title, background relevant to committee's field of activity, and description of responsibilities with in the company. A committee may nominate for consideration by the President or Executive Committee one or more associate members representing governmental bodies or scientific trade associations where such representation on a continuing basis will facilitate significantly the committee's programs. Associate members shall have non-voting status and be subject to review and Executive Committee confirmation annually. 33 A \[h (b) Task Groups. A committee may form such task groups as may be necessary to assist it in conducting its authorized activities. The Executive Committee shall be promptly advised of the formation of each such task group, and terms of reference in each case shall be estab lished in writing by the parent committee subject to the review and approval by CMA staff and the President of the Association. (c) Officers. The chairman of each com mittee to serve as its chief executive officer, and a vice chairman, shall be appointed annually by the Executive Committee. The heads of task groups shall be appointed by the respective chairmen with committee approval. (d) Rotation. The term of individual com mittee members shall be three years, one third of the membership being rotated annually. Ini tial committee membership terms will be scaled to accommodate this rotation. Upon the expira tion of one term of committee membership, a waiting period of at least one year must lapse before a former member becomes eligible for reappointment. For this purpose, a term will be regarded as three years or any fraction thereof according to the member's latest appointment to that committee. A committee member ap pointed chairman in the third year of his commit tee tenure may be appointed to a second year as chairman in which case he would serve in this post outside of the member limit on commit tee membership. A chairman cannot be extend ed in this manner for more than one additional year (e) Staff Executive and Committee Sec retary. Each committee shall have as its staff executive and secretary a full time CMA staff employee who shall function as the Board's administrative representative for such commit tee and as its chief administrative officer. It shall be the staff executive's duty and responsibility to see that all operations and proceedings of the committee, and of all its task groups, are con ducted in full conformity with their purposes and this Resolution, consulting with General Coun sel as necessary. On all procedural questions arising within any committee, including matters related to established Association policy, the staff executive's decision shall be accepted, pending appropriate review. 4. Meetings. The business of each committee shall be conducted in executive sessions attended by its members and by others who have a leading role in matters to be considered at the particular meeting. Each task group meeting shall be an exec utive session of assigned members of the task group plus any members of the parent committee who wish to be present. (a) Frequency. Each committee and task group will meet only as necessary to perform authorized committee business as determined by the chairman in consultation with the CMA Staff. Meetings should not be held where sub ject matter can be adequately and practicably handled by correspondence or telephone be tween the appropriate staff executive and indi vidual members. (b) Location. To the extent practicable and in the absence of cogent reasons for being elsewhere, all committee and task group meet ings should be held in Washington, D.C., prefer ably at the Association's office. Other locations, such as major city airports, may be considered in instances when they would afford greater convenience and cost savings to attendees. (c) Agenda. Following consultation with the committee chairman, the staff executive assigned to each committee shall prepare writ ten agenda prior to each of its meetings, which agenda shall be cleared in advance with Gener al Counsel. (d) Attendance of Staff Executive. No CMA committee meeting shall be held without the attendance of the staff executive assigned to it or other full time CMA staff employee. Gen eral Counsel or his designate should also attend any meeting whenever in his option the nature of any subject on the agenda makes his pres ence desirable. (e) Minutes. The staff executive assigned as secretary to the committee shall keep accu rate and complete minutes of all business trans acted at each meeting, which are to be subject to review and approval by General Counsel. CMA 129181 (f) Discussions Limited to Agenda. All substantive discussions at any CMA committee meeting are to be limited to authorized aspects of subjects on the agenda, except where addi tions to the agenda are specifically approved by the staff executive assigned to the committee. The staff executive's decision as to the propriety of any subject matter raised for dis cussion at any meeting shall be accepted, pending appropriate review. Any discussions or occurrences on the occasion of any meeting which are contrary to CMA's policies or rules and which have come to the staff executive's attention shall be reported promptly by him to his supervisor and to General Counsel. (g) Task Groups. The foregoing rules on meetings are applicable to all committees, task groups, and any other working groups, and any other working groups meeting under CMA aus pices, except that subparagraphs (c), (d), and (e) may be modified as indicated below in those cases where the group must meet in order to carry out a limited and specific written assign ment from the parent committee and it is im practical for a staff executive to be present. In each such case, (i) the specific assignment must be set forth in the parent committee's minutes; (ii) the CMA staff executive assigned as secretary to the parent committee must be satisfied that the meeting in question is neces sary and that the subject matter is not such as to require staff presence, (iii) the chairman of the group is to be responsible for carrying out the duties of the CMA staff executive, including par ticularly those specified in subparagraph (f) above; and (iv) the chairman must promptly make an accurate and complete written report to the parent committee and to the CMA staff executive as to everything occurring at such meeting (h) General Meetings. Apart from execu tive sessions, each committee shall schedule meetings, at least two per year, to which desig nees of Executive Contacts whose companies are not represented in the membership of the committee shall be invited and other interested representatives of member companies may at tend.

It is written for both the guidance of those CMA committee members who have no particular knowl edge of this complicated subject, and to provide a useful reminder or "refresher course" for those who have had the benefit of antitrust advice from their own company counsel The Chemical Manufacturers Association is a non-profit industry association representing about 175 chemical producers. Like other industry associ ations, CMA is composed of member companies (many of whom are competitors of one another) representatives of which serve on its Board of Direc tors and on its committees. Whenever competitors meet together problems can arise under the antitrust laws. If the meeting or other activities among competitors is conducted by or through a trade association, it is just as vulnerable to antitrust attack as if the same companies were meeting or acting together without the medium of an association. Trade associations generally seek, quite properly, to promote understanding and coop eration among their members. But if this "coopera tion" restrains competition, both the association and its members will be in trouble under the antitrust laws. Antitrust enforcement is being emphasized as never before. The number of criminal and civil anti trust actions is steadily increasing. Congress has greatly increased both criminal and civil antitrust penalties, has made important procedural changes, and has substantially increased the budgets for the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, the two agencies charged with antitrust enforcement. The courts are expanding the scope of antitrust prohibitions which may especially affect trade association activities, and such associations are more frequently becom ing the objects of FTC and Antitrust Division investi gations. In view of these developments, increased awareness of the applications of the antitrust laws to association activities is essential. Like most reputable trade associations, CMA has objectives and programs that are well within the law It also makes every effort to prevent possible antitrust abuses from arising. But a large responsi bility also rests upon its member companies--and particularly upon their individual representatives who serve on CMA committees This means that committee members should know enough about this subject to be able in their CMA work to avoid actions 38 or discussions that might raise antitrust questions. The main purpose of this guide is to help all commit tee members to recognize what is, or might become, an "antitrust question." Some actions or discussions by members of a trade associations are clearly illegal; many others are wholly legal and proper; and there is a sizeable "grey area" or danger zone in between. This grey area between legal and illegal association activity is often vague and uncertain, and CMA's policy has always been to keep far away from the doubtful zones. The Association's aim is not only to avoid actual violations of the law-it wants to prevent even any appearance of violation which might invite suspicion or investigation on the part of the enforcement au thorities. To protect itself and its members in this respect, CMA has adopted and observes several basic policies: 1. It has well-defined, constructive objectives and programs which are designed to promote the overall interest of the industry and the public. 2. Its organizational structure consists primari ly of standing committees with specific and limited functional purposes; and activities concerned with pricing or marketing chemical products are scrupu lously avoided, and limitations are also imposed on the subject matter and duration of ad hoc commit tees dealing with specific chemical products or product segments. 3. It maintains various procedural safeguards particularly those set forth in the "General Principles Applicable to the Structure and Operation of Com mittees" which appears in the Association's annual Directory. 4. It retains counsel to help insure full obser vance of the above policies and procedures, and to provide guidance and protective advice as to all CMA operations from an antitrust standpoint. 5. It has approved the issuance of this "Anti trust Guide" to help member company representa tives on CMA committees avoid problems under the antitrust laws. THE FEDERAL ANTITRUST LAWS Beginning in 1890, Congress has enacted a series of statutes which are known collectively as the federal antitrust laws. These laws are designed to promote and preserve our competitive private enterprise sys tem by encouraging free and open competition in open markets. The federal antitrust laws give the force of law to the philosophy underlying our eco nomic system, namely, that a free market in which supply and demand operate to determine the condi tions and terms of production, distribution and sale, and where each seller and a buyer deals indepen dently, serves to achieve the most equitable alloca tion of high quality goods and services at the lowest possible prices. The central core of federal antitrust legislation is formed by the Sherman Act (1890) and the Clayton and Federal Trade Commission Acts (1914). Most states have also enacted antitrust laws similar to the federal statutes but no attempt is made to discuss them in this brief manual. Similarly, there is no dis cussion herein of other areas of federal antitrust law (such as the Robinson-Patman Act and many parts of the Clayton Act) which may bear directly on the activities of individual companies but are usually not involved in association activities. The primary focus here is on horizontal conduct i.e., involving relation ships between competitors, rather than vertical rela tionships such as those between a company and it customers. Section 1 of the Sherman Act prohibits "con tracts", "combinations" or "conspiracies" in restraint of trade or commerce. These are terms of collective action or conduct by two or more persons, and they include agreements and understandings of all kinds, whether written or oral, formal or informal, which unduly restrain competition. Because of the collect ive nature of most trade associations activities, this section is the principal weapon used by the Depart ment of Justice in antitrust suits against trade asso ciations or their members. Such suits are usually based upon an alleged conspiracy or agreement among competitors to restrain trade. (The Federal Trade Commission also can, and does, challenge trade association activity which is alleged to lessen competition under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act which prohibits "unfair methods of competition.") Although the language of the antitrust statutes is deliberately general in its coverage, prohibiting "(every) contract, combination or conspiracy in re straint of trade" and "unfair methods of competition," the courts have defined a number of specific activi ties as inherently unlawful, the so-called "per se" offenses (see "Prohibited Activities," infr). The legali ty of other activities is determined by the "rule of reason, "i.e., whether the activity Is ancillary to the achievement of a legitimate business objective and r is no more restrictive of competition than necessary to achieve that objective. Although this necessarily involves difficult questions of interpretation, even here useful guidelines or antitrust compliance have evolved from the courts' decisions. The importance of obtaining legal counsel in any area of uncertainty cannot be overemphasized, for the sanctions im posed for violations of the antitrust laws are severe. ANTITRUST ENFORCEMENT The Federal antitrust laws are enforced by the De partment of Justice (Antitrust Division) and the Fed eral Trade Commission and frequently provide the basis for suits by private parties. All of the following penalties can be imposed for violations of antitrust laws. 1 Imprisonment. Violations which are crimi nal offenses, including most prohibited collusive ac tivities are felonies, and each individual participant is subject to a prison sentence of up to three years. Prison sentences are becoming increasingly com mon, particularly in price-fixing cases. Convicted felons may also be denied citizenship, the right to vote and other privileges and rights. 2. Fines. Fines of up to $1,000,000 for corpo rations and up to $10,0000 for individuals may be imposed for each criminal offense. An individual may not be reimbursed by his corporation for fines paid by him and fines are not deductible for income tax purposes. 3. Injunctive Court and Federal Trade Commission Orders. Orders (injunctions) which prohibit future violations or activities can be imposed as a result of civil action brought by the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade commission, or private parties, with far-reaching consequences. Such in junctions may contain sweeping prohibitions which go well beyond the scope of the violations charged and prohibit conduct which is not itself considered contrary to the antitrust laws. Such orders can seriously limit freedom of corporate or association action, require burdensome and time consuming reporting obligations, cause day-to-day activities to be supervised by a court or agency, and even re quire dissolution of a trade association. Violation of an injunctive order issued by a court can result in contempt proceedings with attendant fines, while failure to comply with an injunction ("cease and de sist order") issued by the Federal Trade Commission carries penalties of up to $10,000 for each day the non-compliance continues, 39 CMA 129186 & 4 Treble Damages. A sanction which has been applied with increasing frequency as private antitrust suits have rapidly increased in recent years is the "treble damage" provision of the antitrust laws which allow persons or businesses injured by an antitrust violation to recover three times the amount of actual damages sustained. Such cases have re sulted in hundreds of millions of dollars of damages being paid to private litigants. Thus, an antitrust violation could impair the financial resources of any corporation and significantly weaken its competitive position. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES As noted above, many antitrust violations--and par ticularly those involving trade associations--result from concerted or collusive activity, that is, from an "agreement" between or among competitors which result in a restraint of trade. An illegal agreement may be proved in a number of ways. It need not be written, and seldom is. Rather, the term "agreement" in antitrust parlance may mean no more than know ing adherence to or a participation in a common scheme. Explicit promises, commitments, or assur ances are not necessary to establish a violation, nor must the parties actually carry out the agreement. (This definition of "agreement" is assumed through out.) Convictions for collusive activities can be based on a series of seemingly isolated facts which have been linked to present a chain of circumstantial evi dence from which an agreement or conspiracy--a meeting of the minds--can be inferred; for example, identical price increases by competitors following shortly after a trade association meeting at which "business conditions" and the need of the industry for higher prices were discussed. For this reason it is important when participating in CMA committee work or other association activities, which involve contact with other members of the industry, to avoid doing or saying anything which might even give an appearance of agreement with others in areas which may involve a lessening of competition. (a) Agreements Involving Prices. Pricing is the most sensitive subject under the antitrust laws "Price" in this context includes all the elements of the terms of sale: sales prices, discounts, allowances, freight, credit terms, container deposits, and all other services or conditions integrally related to a sale. Any agreement between competitors which fixes, stabilizes, maintains, bolsters, depresses, or tampers in any way with price is unlawful per se," 40 that is, the activity is indefensible and illegal without further analysis of its reasonableness, good in tentions, arguable benefits to the public, or extenuat ing circumstances. In short there is no defense "Price-fixing" encompasses not only agree ments with competitors on a selling price. It may also include, for example, agreement to buy up surplus goods, to adhere to a formula for determining prices, to standardize discounts, to control raw material prices, and any other agreement which has the net result of affecting the price structure of a given product. Moreover, it is just as unlawful for competi tors to agree on the prices at which they will offer to buy from their suppliers, as on those at which they sell. As previously noted an agreement can be shown in a number of ways. Thus, even the mere exchange of price lists between competitors on a regular basis may in some circumstances serve as evidence of an illegal price-fixing agreement The essential rule is that each seller must deter mine on its own the prices at which it purchases and sells. To avoid inferences of agreement or collusion --and there can be no exceptions--CMA members must not engage in any direct or indirect discussions with any competitors regarding prices, pricing poli cies, or any other marketing policy which may affect pricing. The following are a few examples of activi ties which have been found by the courts to consti tute evidence of illegal price-fixing. 1 Some supermarket executives were held to have violated the Sherman Act on the basis of evi dence which included a trade association meeting where one participant made remarks to the general effect that it was time to stop passing lower whole sale meat prices on to the consumers and keep some of it for themselves After viewing this and other evidence in light of the article pricing practices, the court upheld a jury verdict that the attendees at the trade association meeting had engaged in an illegal conspiracy to keep wholesale prices low and retail prices high. (The jury awarded plaintiffs a ver dict for over 32 million dollars, plus the plaintiffs' attorneys' fees.) 2. In another case, the sales manager of the leading company in a market invited the sales man agers of the other major companies in the market to a meeting at which he described a proposal for reclassifying distributors and changing discount schedules- No one present openly agreed to re classify his distributors and change his discount schedules Subsequent to the meeting, however, the CMA 129187 leading company instituted the changes proposed at the meeting and the other companies, one by one, adopted the same distributor classifications and dis count schedules. All of the companies and their sales managers were convicted of engaging in an unlawful conspiracy. The fact that all of the individual defendants were at the meeting, heard the discus sion, and subsequently reclassified their distributors and changed their discount schedules, supported a jury finding that they had unlawfully conspired to fix prices, 3 Sales officials of corrugated cardboard box manufacturers in the Southeast followed a practice of occasionally calling each other to determine quotes given on specific and current sales to identi fied customers. The Supreme Court held the prac tice illegal because it had the effect of stabilizing prices (i.e., it tended to limit price reductions and the range of price changes). The decision was reached in spite of an express finding that the calls did not result in an actual agreement on prices. Rather, each defendant, on receiving a request for pricing information, usually furnished the data with the ex pectation that reciprocal information would be fur nished to him. This simple exchange of information was held to establish an unlawful combination con spiracy under the Sherman Act. (b) Agreements to Control Production or Sales. Competitors may not agree to limit or control production or sales. Any limitations on output by direct or indirect agreement are illegal per se and cannot be justified, even where the purpose is to preserve the industry or conserve natural resources (c) Division of Territories and Allocation of Customers. Any agreement between competitors to divide or allocate either sales territories or cus tomers is unlawful perse. Exchanges of information with competitors relating to customers or territories can create the appearance such collusion or agree ment and must be strictly avoided. (d) Refusals to Deal. Any agreement among competitors which results in a refusal to deal with suppliers or other competitors---for example, a blacklist or boycott--is illegal perse. For this reason exchanges of information (e g. credit information) concerning particular customers which might lead to parallel decision not to deal should be avoided. Application of Antitrust Laws to Trade Association Activities The valuable and proper activities of CMA and its committees can be accomplished effectively if parti cipating members are alert to the prohibited types of behavior described above and react quickly when danger signals appear. Obviously, CMA activities should be conducted in such a way as to avoid any possible inference of agreement among its members with respect to prices, controlling production or sales, division of territories, or refusals to deal in any form whatsoev er, Further guidelines are given here to highlight potential danger zones to be avoided When a dan ger zone appears, counsel should be consulted for specific guidance. In reviewing the following guidelines there are a few general points you should bear in mind' 1 As indicated above, an otherwise lawful act may become unlawful if done for an improp er purpose, or if it is part of a larger unlawful scheme For example, a product standardiza tion program might be justifiable considered by itself, but not if it is combined with other activi ties to facilitate the fixing of uniform prices. In other words, the courts may look at the cumula tive effect of several activities--not at each one separately 2. Good motives are not an excuse for doing things that are otherwise unlawful, either be cause they fall within one of the"per se" catego ries discussed previously or because they are more restrictive of competition than necessary to accomplish their legitimate objectives. Thus even though a product standardization program may be intended to increase competition by providing consumers with important informa tion, it may nevertheless be found unlawful if conducted in a manner more restrictive than necessary to achieve its legitimate purpose, 3 An ostensibly lawful program or activity runs a greater risk of getting into vulnerable areas if conducted by a group of competitors making the same product. That is the mam rea son why CMA operates primarily through func tional committees, and imposes limitations on the subject matter and duration of any ad hoc committees dealing with matters concerning a specific chemical product or product segment. 41 CMA 129188 4. As a member of a CMA committee, you and your company can be held responsible for any improper acts that may occur which you know about (or should know about), and if you fail to protest or disassociate yourself from them. Participation in CMA Committee Meetings All meetings of CMA committees must be conducted in strict compliance with the procedures set out in the "General Principles Applicable to the Structure and Operations of Committees."* These General Princi ples provide for agendas, attendance of staff repre sentatives, and for the keeping of accurate and com plete minutes-all of which are designed to avoid antitrust risks. If you participate in a CMA task group meeting held without a staff member being present (pursuant to the special circumstances set for in subparagraph 4(g) of the General Principles), be sure that the meeting complies with the requirements of that subparagraph 4(g) including an "accurate and complete written report... as to everything occurring at such meeting." Note: The attitude of enforcement personnel will be governed by what committee or task group members actually do, not by what is said in reports or minutes that may be incomplete or inaccurate. CMA committee members participating in activ ities involving advocacy before governmental enti ties should be familiar with and carefully observe the guidelines set out in the memorandum, "General Principles and Guidelines for MCA Advocacy," dated May 14,1975. In general, advocacy should be con ducted in lawful ways and directed solely at efforts to influence that policy. It should not be used as a sham or as a means to affect competition directly and independently of what would be the effect of the government policy which is sought to be influenced. While committee agendas will have been clea red in advance with CMA counsel, it is the obligation of all committee members to make sure that their own participation in committee meetings will not give rise to even an inference of antitrust wrongdoing. Thus, even when carrying out approved and legiti mate activities members must be careful to avoid discussions or exchanges of information with their competitors on any sub]ect relating to the "per se" restraints listed above since such discussions or information exchanges may give rise to inferences of agreement. As examples, you should avoid any dis cussion with competitors of the following: (a) Individual company prices, price changes, price differentials, mark-ups discounts al lowances, credit terms, etc. (b) Individual company figures on costs, pro duction, capacity, inventories, sales, etc. (c) Industry pricing policies, price levels, price changes, differentials, etc. (d) Changes in industry production, capacity, or inventories. (e) Transportation rates or rate policies of indi vidual shipments or particular products, in cluding basing point systems, zone prices, freight equalization, etc. Note: This was an alleged factor in the 1962 FTC charges against MCA (now CMA) in the TSP (trisodium phosphate) case. MCA denied the charges, but joined the producers in signing a con sent order prohibiting the practices charged. Stand ardization of TSP containers was another principal factor in the TSP case, these charges pertained to an activity in 1939-1940 which has long since been abandoned. MCA denied that this activity was ille gal, but joined the respondent TSP producers in signing a consent order prohibiting the various prac tices charged, in order to avoid costly and time con suming litigation. (f) Bids on contracts for particular products; procedures for responding to bid invita tions. (g) Plans of individual companies concerning the design, production, distribution or mar keting of particular products, including pro posed territories or customers. (h) Matters relating to individual suppliers or customers that might have the effect of ex cluding them from any market. (i) Any matter relating to TSP as a specific product. * As approved by the Board of Directors on March 12, 1963, and amended by the Executive Committee on March 19, 1971; July 11, 1978, and June 3, 1981. 42 Regardless of subject matter, you should not attend or tolerate any meeting with your competitors CMA 129189 in connection with CMA business which has no agenda, or which is concerned with matters outside your committee s terms of reference, or which other wise fails to conform with the procedures in the General Principles. Informal Gatherings It is important to avoid discussions of the above subjects, not only at formal CMA or committee meet ings, but also in connection with social or other gath erings on those occasions. If any improper discus sion should start in your presence, you should pro test; if the discussion continues, you should prompt ly excuse yourself from the group and communicate your protest to the appropriate CMA staff manager. Even if you do not take part in any improper discus sion, your presence without participation could still get you and your company into trouble. Any in dividuals who participate in such improper discus sions, whether deliberately or innocently, are doing their companies, and CMA, a real disservice, and subjecting themselves to possible liability. In case of doubt as to whether a particular subject may proper ly be discussed with your competitors, you should consult your own company counsel. Documents Care must be taken to avoid wording any written documents including reports or notes from commit tee meetings in a way that might be interpreted as indicating, contrary to fact, the existence of an anti trust violation. Every memorandum, letter or other document dealing with prices, competition, or the other danger areas specified in this guide should be written with the assumption that it will one day be examined for antitrust implications. An antitrust case may be based on documents which are in reality innocent or innocuous but have been written in such a way as to create suspicion and require explana tion. Such documents may include personal notes based on recollection, or taken at committee or other meetings, which record personal impressions rather than the facts of what transpired. Conclusion It is hoped that this guide will help you to understand how the antitrust laws bear upon trade association activities, and to carry out your CMA work in full compliance with these laws and with CMA policies. Again, please remember that this is a limited outline and is not intended to be a complete description of the application of the antitrust laws for answers to specific problems, you should consult CMA counsel and your own company counsel. 43 CMA 129190 OBLIGATIONS AND PROCEDURE FOR MEMBER DISSENT* The strength of an effective association in an advo cacy role is its ability to identify issues of common concern to its members and to reach agreement on collective policy. When that agreement is reached, the Association can than strongly advocate a unified industry position. While the Association's objective is to strive for consensus on every issue, CMA rec ognizes that there may be cases, following the con structive sharing of diverse opinions, when individu al members may ultimately choose to dissent from a CMA position. If a member company intends to advocate pub licly a position on an issue which it believes is not consistent with an existing CMA position, the com pany should first inform the Association, by letter to the President, stating the basis for its disagreement, and give the Association a reasonable length of time to respond before presenting its position to others outside the Association. Before external dissent takes place, thorough internal discussion should be conducted either to resolve or confirm identified dif ferences. The Association has the responsibility of expeditiously reweighing its original position to de termine whether it should be modified. To aid in this internal review, members who initiate this process of dissent should inform the Association of any parties to whom they have expressed a contrary position and what the nature of the dialogue was so that this information can be utilized in the process of reevalu ating the Association's position. If the identified differences are not resolved, the Association recognizes the nght of the member company to publicly pursue its own position. When presenting its position to others, the dissenting member company should make clear that it speaks for itself and not for the Association and the industry. Anyone can express to others outside the Associa tion a CMA position, but only one designated by the Board or the President can represent that he speaks on behalf of CMA. Similar procedures should be followed in those cases where the Association does not have an exist ing position on an issue, but has begun the process of developing such a position. In those instances, the member company should inform the Association, by letter to the President, of its intent to present that position to others. If possible, the member company should defer presenting its position to others until CMA has had a reasonable opportunity to review the company's position, identify any potential areas of significant concern and attempt to reach an agree ment on a CMA position. The Association recog nizes that in some cases the time for CMA review and action will be very limited. In the absence of a CMA position on an issue, a member company presenting its position to others should make it clear that it is speaking for itself and not the Association. As approved by the Board of Directors on June 5, 1980, and amended by the Board on June 6, 1985. 44 HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY* Public recognition of the benefits of chemicals in today's society is tempered by public concern about the impact of chemicals and hazardous waste on human health and the environment. Recognizing this, CMA endorses the following principles and urges its members and all chemical manufacturers to adopt them. We intend to produce only those chemicals that can be manufactured, used and disposed of safely. We will conduct our operations in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. We will cooperate with appropriate federal, state and local agencies to deal with problems creat ed by past disposal of hazardous substances. We will conduct or sponsor studies to in crease understanding about health and environ mental effects of our processes, products and waste materials. We will communicate with government agencies, employees, customers and the public about any significant health or environmental effects that may be identified and about methods necessary for safety and health protection. We will foster continuing dialogue with a broad range of groups who are concerned about the impact of chemicals and hazardous waste on health and the environment. ' Position Statement Adopted by the Board of Directors, September 13, 1983 45 129192 CMA AND ADVOCACY* Advocacy means pleading or defending a cause, hence advocacy is implicit in CMA's representation of the chemical manufacturing industry, and should be conducted forthrightly and forcefully, concentrat ing on matters which affect a number of its members or which broadly concern the chemical manufactur ing industry even though not immediately affecting many members. To be beneficial, advocacy must be persuasive. Solid evidence and reasoned interpretation coupled with effective presentation are needed. Enlightened and progressive advocacy is di rected to the common good rather than being merely self serving. Bearing in mind the pervasive signifi cance of chemicals, it is vital that CMA advocacy so qualify. Advocacy on behalf of a collective industrial group must heed antitrust limitations. For this reason and because of the fact that certain chemicals com pete with others in the marketplace for similar pur poses, CMA normally limits its advocacy to matters having general applicability, as contrasted with those involving particular chemical substances or companies. If an important precedent-setting princi ple is involved, however, CMA may elect to advocate it regarding the principle alone. The foregoing precepts underlie CMA's advo cacy role. Each member company should recognize this in no way diminishes its responsibility to protect its own interests, nor is intended to restrict independ ence in so doing. Each member company is encour aged to express its individual views ' As approved by the Executive Committee on July 11, 1978. CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 2501 M Street, MW Washington, DC 20037 202 887-1100 CMA 129194
