ARTHUR M.BUECHE VICE PRESIDENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GENERAL ELECTRIC GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK 12301 NOV 12 m November 10, 1975 Mr. Monhe C. Throdahl Vice President, Technology Monsanto Company 800 JWorth Lindbergh Boulevard St./Louis, Missouri 63166 Dear Monte: Thank you very much for your call the other day asking if Monsanto can be of additional help in our PCB problem. After looking into it, I find that your people have already been of considerable help and are cooperating in every way we think possible at the moment. Those who have been working with our Dr. Ed Simons, our lawyers. and our chemists have been Bill Papageorge and Howard Bergen, who, I believe, are in the Customer Relations activities, and Jim Mieure and Robert Kaley from your Analytical Laboratory. Only last week Bob Kaley was in Albany with one of our people helping review the chromatograms being pre sented as State's evidence. In addition. Bill Papageorge has been particularly helpful in tracking down information on process details that might possibly be relevant to the origin of the dibenzofurans. Monte, we certainly appreciate all of this fine cooperation and are very grateful for your telephone call. If you see other ways in which you might be helpful, please give me a call. In the meantime, we'll continue to rely on those with whom we are already working. Best personal regards. Sincerely AMB:m cc: JF Brown JF Welch DSW 338468 STLCOPCB4082301
