RE: Plant 3 (Formosa Plastics) in VC Study Dear Carol: After you informed us that the two Formosa Plastics plants would consider participation in the vinyl chloride study, we , contacted both plants. Pat Loupe, Employee Relations manager at Formosa Plastics in Baton Rouge, advised us over the telephone | that Allied Corporate handled the previous vinyl chloride studyf He said that another longstanding employee at the Baton Rouge plant in Employee Relations remembers the study, but thinks the plant has no records of who participated in the study or any other information about the study. The problem is that the study records that we hold currently at EHA have no personal identifiers. Mr. Loupe suggested, therefore, that we or CMA should get in touch with Allied to see if they have a list of names, etc., of the cohort. If we could not get such a list, he would be willing to attempt matching records; however, he could not guess at the success or timeliness of that effort. I think it may be more appropriate for CMA to contact Allied. According to our file, the Allied Chemical corporate contacts were John M. Quinn and Warren S. Ferguson.
