INTRODUCTION
Plaintiffs submit this Pre-Trial Order dated April 11, 1984 in response to the Magistrate's Pre-Trial Order No. 17.
Wherever possible, plaintiffs have attempted to follow the format set forth in that Pre-Trial Order. The table of contents and numbering of Exhibits attempt to follow the Order as closely as possible. Where "Bates" numbers appeared on the documents produced by the defendants or by the United States Government, or where the defendants or the Government used other designations in identifying the documents produced previously, plaintiffs have designated such documents by those numbers as a "Pretrial Identification Number" or "PIN" number in the text of the exhibit lists comprising portions of this order.
Where portions of the Pre-Trial Order are to be completed at later dates pursuant to the terms of Pre-Trial Order No. 17, the plaintiffs have simply made general statements to that effect, so as to allow the format to remain in conformity with the numbering system contained in the Magistrate's Pre-Trial Order.
Plaintiffs reserve the right, in view of the Magistrate's congnizance of the fact that discovery is continuing in these causes, to supplement this Pre-Trial Order on the terms set forth in Pre-Trial Order No. 17.
The medical records of the individual plaintiffs are not being tendered at this time as exhibits to this Pre-trial Order. Plaintiffs and defendants continue to assemble those records and plaintiffs presume that discussions will take place between counsel for all parties attempting to reach a stipulation regarding a common set of exhibits of that kind.
Plaintiffs have not in this submission copied and tendered the
I-1
153
voluminous contracts of each defendant relative to the sale of Agenr Orange herbicides to the United States Government. Those contracts are on file with the Clerk of the District Court in the defendants' several responses to Pre-trial Order No. 33. Plaintiffs have likewise not copied the defendants' answers to various interrogatories as exhibits with this submission. They, too, are all on file with the Clerk.
Time constraints have made it literally impossible to either review all of the documents produced through the course of discovery or to completely paginate deposition testimony references and plaintiffs respectfully request the opportunity to continue doing so for the purpose of including relevant documents and testimony in their amended submissions to be filed hereafter.
I2
II
SUPPLEMENTATION OF THE PRE-TRIAL ORDER
Pursuant to the terms of the Magistrate's Pre-Trial Order No. 17, specifically paragraph "II" thereof, plaintiffs will supplement their Pre-Trial Order in conformity with those terms from time to time hereafter.

Ill
STIPULATION AS TO ADMITTED FACTS
In Supplements to this Pre-trial Order, plaintiffs will set forth any stipulations achieved with respect to facts admitted in this litigation. Thus far, no such stipulations have been entered into.
III - 1
QA
IV. A. Plaintiffs hereby submit the following list of identified Exhibits in response to requirements of Paragraph IV (E) (1) of the Magistrate's Pretrial Order No. 17.
Due to the fact that discovery in the form of depositions and document production to date has been so voluminous, plaintiffs believe that they should be allowed to supplement this list at the time that both the amendatory and final form Pretrial Orders are filed without regard to whether or not a specific document has been previously produced. Time constraints imposed in connection with the requirement of filing this Pretrial Order have been such that it has been physically impossible to review every document produced in this litigation despite the fact that plaintiffs' counsel have deployed many of themselves and their assistants on a round-the-clock basis to attempt to compile important documents for the purpose of including them in this list.
The voluminous copies of the individual plaintiffs' medical records are purposefully not being submitted at this time. Plaintiffs' and defendants' counsel have been attempting to reconcile and exchange such records in order to be certain that all parties have identical and complete sets of those records. Plaintiffs presume that it would be in all parties' best interests to attempt to stipulate as to a common set of such exhibits. Plaintiffs will attempt to achieve such stipulation prior to the time that the amendment to this Pretrial Order is due.
Plaintiffs also have purposefully not recopied each of the
government contracts involved in this litigation for the reason
that defendants have appended each of the contracts they claim to
have fulfilled in each of their responses to Pretrial Order No.
33, all of which such copies are on file with the Clerk of this
Court.
Plaintiffs intend to rely upon those contracts as filed
and further intend to rely upon statements contained in the
defendants' filed answers to interrogatories from time to time
throughout the course of this trial or of the trial of these
