INTER-OFFICE COMMUNICATION ' TENNECO HYDROCARBON CHEMICALS DIVISION (RES-103-71CD) TO: FOR: MR. MANAGEMENT R. M. PATE/ FROM: MR.R- E. SIMMONS RE: VCM--AMERICAN CHEMICAL COMPANY DATE MARCH 9, 1971 CC: HEO/DCL On March 8, I called Mr. Herbert Kendell, General Manager of American Chemical Company, Long Beach, California (213/834-8571), to determine their current VCM status. Mr. Kendell said that they are expanding both their PVC and VCM production capability and will be fairly much in balance. He does not foresee that American Chemical will require any outside VCM purchases during 1971 onward. However, Mr. Kendell promised to keep in touch in case he does require spot monomer for some unfore seen reason. RES:j em R. E. SIMMONS 000249
