Wills et al, re: trip report (attached) on trip to Midwest Research institute (MRI) to discuss combustion of tetrachloroethylene (Wecosol non PCB transformer fluid)-- work MRI was doing under an b p a contract, appears Westinghouse was trying to talk MRI into changing wording of its report (e.g., discusses eliminating mention of dioxins in opening statement of MRI report.) #110 (787358-360): Dec. 6, 1984 cracknell (Westinghouse) to Gulf States Utility Co., re: MRI data on tetrachloroethylene (Wecosol), with Jan. 6, 1986 EPA memo attached by paper clip; l ^FROM 503 528 7105 P2 these refer to #101 above, without Wills' name on them. #131 (787991-996): March 5, 1984 "(W)" Building room 1895, to "f c b study Team91 including R.E. wills, attaching EPRI 12/7/83 update on PCBs. That's all 1 could find. Most of the documents in these two boxes are PA records and published studies, nothing correspond ing to the stuff Westinghouse it says it didn't destroy. Do you have copies there of the above? If not, and you need them, let me Know quickly, I could fed-ex copies in the morning or fax them late tonight. Good hunting -- Carol 2
