2 ambiguous, overbroad as to time, scope, products and location not in issue, and seek information not
3 relevant to the issues in this lawsuit.
4
Without waiving said objections and in the interest of full disclosure, Kaiser Gypsum responds
5 solely with regard to its Seattle facility and with regard to products identified by plaintiff.
6
Kaiser Gypsum continues its ongoing investigation to locate information regarding the subject
7 matter of these interrogatories and reserves its right to supplement these interrogatory responses as may
8 be necessary, if and when, such further information becomes available.

18 RESPONSE: ,,
19
Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, burdensome,
20 ambiguous, and overbroad, as it contains years when Kaiser Gypsum was not doing business, and thus
21 it is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Without waiving said
22 objections, Kaiser Gypsum responds: see Exhibit A attached hereto.

1
Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous, and
2 overbroad, as it contains years when Kaiser Gypsum was not doing business, and thus it is not
3 reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Without waiving said objections,
4 Kaiser Gypsum responds:
5
Kaiser Gypsum was organized and incorporated in 1952. On June 19, 1952, Permanente Cement
6 Company (later known as Kaiser Cement Corporation) formed a wholly owned subsidiary named Kaiser
7 Gypsum Company. On December 1, 1952, Kaiser Gypsum Company was merged with Pacific Coast
8 Cement Company, a Washington corporation and another subsidiary of Permanente Cement Company.
9 At the time of the merger, racine Coast Cement Company had no assets or operations. The name of
10 the combined company was then changed to Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc. In 1978, Kaiser Gypsum 11 Company, Inc. ceased all business operations.

17
product; (e) how each product was packaged; and
18
(f) your gross sales of each asbestos containing product between 1950 and 1978.
19
RESPONSE:
Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous, and
20 overbroad, as it seeks information about types of products and places not at issue in this litigation and
21
22 years when Kaiser Gypsum was not in business. Thus, this interrogatory is not reasonably calculated
23 to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. As to subsection (f), Kaiser Gypsum objects to this on
24 the grounds that it is unduly burdensome, harassing and not reasonably calculated to lead to the

For each product identified in response to Interrogatory No. 4, identify all warnings you
6 employed to protect the purchasers said products from asbestos-related harm including in your answer 7 the text of said warning and the date on which it commenced.
8

9
Beginning in 1972, Kaiser Gypsum affixed caution labels to the packages and comaincrs of its
10 asbestos-containing products. The warning label, as prescribed by OSHA, read:

19
Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous,
20 overbroad, and assumes that any type of asbestos, in any condition or in any amount, poses a hazard
21 to human health.
22
Without waiving said objections, Kaiser Gypsum responds that it became aware generally
23 sometime in the 1970s that users of some asbestos-containing building products could be at risk of
24 inhaling quantities of respirable asbestos fibers sufficient to pose a potential hazard to their health.

Identify all measures you employed to protect the users of your asbestos-containing products
2 from any asbestos-related harm.
3
RESPONSE:
4
Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous,
5 overbroad, and not sufficiently limited in time or scope. Without waiving said objections, Kaiser
6 Gypsum responds that it placed warning labels on its asbestos-containing products upon learning that
7 such products posed potential health hazards to end users.
8 INTERROGATORY NO. 9:
9
Identify all measures you employed to protect your employees from any asbestos-related harm.
10
RESPONSE:
11
Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous,
12 and overbroad. Further, Kaiser Gypsum is informed and believes that plaintiff was neither employed
13 by Kaiser Gypsum, nor present at any of its plants at any time. Thus, events occurring at any Kaiser
14 Gypsum plant have no relevance to the conditions allegedly experienced by plaintiff. Therefore, this
15 interrogatory is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
16 INTERROGATORY NO. 10:
17
Identify all trade publications to which you subscribed between 1950 and 1978.
18
RESPONSE:
*
19
Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous,
20 overbroad, and unintelligible as to the word "trade publications". Furthermore, this interrogatory
21 contemplates years when Kaiser Gypsum was not in business. Thus, this interrogatory is not reasonably
22 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Without waiving said objections, Kaiser
23 Gypsum responds that it is informed and believes it was a member of the Gypsum Association from
24 approximately 1952 to approximately 1978, and believes it may have received its publications.

Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous,
15 overbroad, and unintelligible as written, as there was no such entity as "Kaiser Gypsum Corporation".
16 Furthermore, this interrogatory is vague and ambiguous as to "legal relationship" and calls for "legal"
17 opinion beyond the scope of responding defendant's knowledge. Without waiving said objections, and

Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous,

13 to the discovery of admissible evidence, as Kaiser Gypsum's Oregon plant never made the types of
14 asbestos-containing products at issue in this case. Without waiving said objections, Kaiser Gypsum
15 responds that as of November 1, 1970, the manager of Kaiser Gypsum Oregon plant was J. Cassidy.
16 At this juncture, Kaiser Gypsum is unable to discern who the plant manager's "four principal

Kaiser Gypsum objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous,

17 that Kaiser Gypsum has not manufactured a product since 1978, there is no one currently employed who
18 is able to identify the full names of said individuals, their names and addresses, any positions which
19 they may have held or whether they are living or dead. Additionally, Kaiser Gypsum objects to this

evidence. See response to Interrogatory No. 19.

Kaiser Gypsum objects to this request on the grounds that it is vague, ambiguous, overbroad and
2 not reasonably limited in time, scope, or location. Furthermore, this request is violative of Kaiser 3 Gypsum s right to privacy as a privately held corporation and seeks information which is proprietary 4 in nature. Additionally, this request is vague and ambiguous as to "refer or relate to". Without 5 waiving objections, Kaiser Gypsum responds, as it understands the request, that none of the minutes
6 of its Board of Directors' meetings "refer or relate to" its asbestos-containing products. 7

I Asbestos -- Labeling Kaiser
K. Parker - 2649 N. Reddick - 265 ^T
Cement Products
I This memorandum deals with the labeling of the packages of
Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc., for its various gypsum products
I containing asbestos or other materials, that some sources
have alleged to be injurious to health, and is written at the request of Jim Parker.
I ^
recommenda uion that Kaiser Gypsum not apply caution
or warning labels to any of its packages, except those con
I
taining asbestos, and as to them, caution labels should be
I applied to each package, which labels are to be printed in
letters of sufficient size and contrast as to be read'ly
visible and legible. The labels shall state:
*
CAUTION
.
I
Contains Asbestos Fibers
I Avoid Creating Dust
3reathing Asbestos Dust May Cause
I Serious Bodily Harm
Immediately below the label but not necessarily in lettering
Ox the same size, insert "Above label is in comoliance with
Federal Regulations relating*, to Occupational, Safety, and
1
Health Standards, 29 CFR 1910.93a."
'
I The reason for using the foregoing label only for asbestos-
containing products is that they are the only gypsum products
which Federal laws, at this time, require to be marked. The
regulation wenu into effect July 7, 1972. Therefore, every erfort should be made to immediately comply with it. The label should be applied by stencil, stamps, stickers, or
I
whatever may be the most convenient means for prompt compliance
i u is recommended that no reference be made, or warning given, 1
I to the efiSc i Oi any other material marketed bv Kaiser
Gypsum or treatment given its products, such as mixing or
I I p u u t f f ^ I i g EXH IBIT /3 I

sanding, because there are no existing Federal or State laws or regulations which require then* and there appears to be considerable confusion and c Isagreement as to their need, or whether or not any harmful effects result from such other material. Therefore, at this stage, to volunteer instruc tions may give rise to- inferences, implications, construc tions, the cc~rectness of which is now in doubt, and the effect of which may be to add further to the confusion. This memorandum does not deal with the use and handling of asbestos and other materials in gypsum manufacturing opera tions in our plants since our Safety, Medical, and IR organizations are involved with these matters.
JZ7:jh
* The above is based or. a comprehensive investigation which zrnie and I have made. However, there is a proliferation of laws, rules, regulations, etc., issuing from govern mental bodies at this time dealing with potentially harm ful substances and the like. Therefore, if any of you now know, or later learn, of any requirement for applying warning or caution labels to our products, please advise me or Ernie Reddick.
