Treasurer's Report Mr. Herrman reported that through the eleven months ending April 30, the Association had received revenues of $14,071,500 and had incurred expenses of $11,345,400. He indicated that the process of closing the books for the year was under way and that the year-end Treasur er's Report analyzing variances would be mailed when that process was com pleted. He estimated that the Association would end the year with revenues slightly above budget, expenses about IS - 2S below budget, with a resulting contribution to reserves of $100,000 - $200,000. Reserves would then be about $5-9 million. CMA 065988 + 2 In looking toward the coming year, he reported that dues invoices Cor 1987/88 would be mailed to the membership on June 4. Four members had not yet reported 1986 chemical sales information, and follow-up was continu ing with these members. 4. Standing Committee Appointments Mr. Van Vlack presented the list (Exhibit A) of proposed appointments to fill vacancies on several of the Association's standing committees. These were approved, 5. TSCA Litigation Mr, Zoll reported on a current case involving a CMA member company (Lonza) which was the subject of an EPA enforcement action under TSCA. Because of the precedent-setting nature of the action and the potential for significant impact on many member companies, Mr. Zoll indicated that CMA was filing a motion to intervene. It was agreed that appropriate communications should be sent to the membership, alerting them to the im plications of EPA's apparent new TSCA enforcement policy. 6. Underground Injection Control Mr. Roland reported that the issues raised at the May Executive Committee meeting regarding possible changes in the advocacy role of the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Group had been resolved in the interim and that the UIC task group had agreed that no changes in its charter were necessary at this time. 7. Officers' Planning Meeting Mr. Sorgenti reviewed the results of the Officers' Planning Meeting which had been held on June 2-3. Major areas Included the Regional Executive Contact Meeting Program; membership and membership criteria; relations with other associations; Board and Executive Committee meetings and activities; establishment of Board committees to pursue issue and program priorities; and increases in the Catalyst Awards. A summary of these items Is attached as Exhibit B, With respect to the Catalyst Awards, the Executive Committee agreed to increase the 1987 and future year awards for national winners from $1,500 to $5,000 and for regional winners from $500 to $2,500, Mr. Sorgenti requested that directors submit their ideas on sug gested program or issue areas where the formation of new Board committees would be appropriate, together with an indication of their preference as to which group they would be willing to setve on or chair. This input was requested to be sent to Mr. Roland no later than mid-July, so that recom mendations could be prepared for the Officer's review in early August, with final action expected at the August 3I-September 1 Board meeting. 8. Review of Board Agenda Items There was no additional discussion of the Board agenda items not otherwise scheduled for discussion by the Executive Committee. 9. State Toxic Initiative Report Mr. Murray reported on the activities of the State Toxics Initiative Work Group and their recommenda tions for action by CMA and member companies. These recommendations related to: a funding mechanism to address the sizeable costs associated with being active on initiatives; chemical Industry strategy in priority states where initiative activity can be anticipated; and a preliminary plan for action in Oregon. CMA 065989 'T" 4 12. Membership Fee Schedule Following up on the recommendation made at the Officers' Planning Meeting, a resolution was presented to provide a phased-in fee schedule for new member companies joining the Association. Following discussion, the following resolution was adopted: RESOLVED: That for companies who become members of the Association during the 1987/88 fiscal year, the following phased-in membership fee schedule shall apply: o One-third of the normal dues for the first fiscal year of membership. In the case of companies joining during the fiscal year, the initial dues shall be one-third of the pro rata amount due for the remainder of the year. o Two-thirds of the normal dues for the second fiscal year of membership. o Full dues for the third and subsequent years of membership. That the phased-in membership fee schedule shall be applicable only to those companies who become new members during the 1987/88 fiscal year and in no event shall the membership fee of any company, on an annualized basis, be less than the existing minimum fee ($5,560). 13. Worker Notification It was agreed that the position on worker notification legislation adopted by the Executive Committee and Board at the April meeting should be reiterated to the membership at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Clark Indicated that he had added specific language to his speech to the membership addressing the issue of the Association's support for the modified worker notification legislation. The Executive Committee endorsed this approach. 14. New Business Mr. Davis reported on a major advocacy success in Utah which reinforced his belief that the industry needed to develop addi tional positive legislative initiatives which could then be advocated at the state level. *** The meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m. Harold A. Sorgenrf, Chairman CMA Executive Committee Charles W. Van Vlack Vice President-Secretary CMA 065990 3 With respect to funding, the group recommended against creating a central CMA fund to finance initiative activities in individual states. The three principles which the group recommended pursuing were: anticipate and project funding needs in advance; tie requests for funding to a well-con ceived, state specific action plan; raise money early to be able to respond quickly to developments and opportunities. Consistent with these principles, the group further recommended that CMA "seed money" be used in priority states to engage in-state consultants and to undertake initial planning and coalitioning activities, hopefully prior to the circulation'of petitions. Mr. Murray noted that $50,000 is provided in the current State Affairs budget for these kind of "positioning" activities, but that as much as $100,000 $150,000 might be necessary. For the actual expenses of conducting the initiative campaign, Mr. Murray recommended the development of a pledge system through which companies would contribute their proportionate share of the expenses. The pledge system would also envision companies allocating funds early to draw against as initiative campaigns arise; preclearing the use of these funds for initiative purposes; designating an individual with authority to commit these funds; and checking any legal requirements/ restrictions on the expenditure of those funds in the priority states identified in Exhibit C. With respect to Oregon, Mr. Murray recommended proceeding with the development of a state specific, proactive initiative plan for Oregon, including the engagement of a local initiative consultant and exploratory work on building an Oregon industry coalition. The group, working closely with EMC and HSC representatives and legal staff, would develop a "model" initiative for possible introduction in Oregon, incorporating industryacceptable principles on groundwater, air and/or waste minimization issues. Following discussion, the proposed plan as outlined above and as set forth in Exhibit C, was approved and the group was directed to continue development of the generic program as well as the specific plan for Oregon, The Oregon plan would be reviewed in the fall and the Executive Committee and Board would make a go/no-go decision for active involvement in Oregon at that time. 10. Energy Mr. Kennedy indicated his growing concern over the energy tax legislation currently being considered by the Congress. He reviewed the sunset of CMA's Energy Committee and program in the Spring of 1986 and the subsequent formation of the Special Energy Advisory Group (SEAG) which has operated in a monitoring, nonadvocacy capacity. He then proposed that the energy program be reactivated within the Association. Following discussion of the activities of the Coalition Opposed to Energy Taxes (C0ET) and the process which SEAG should have employed to bring the changed circum stances to the attention of the Executive Committee for resolution, it was agreed to reactivate the Association's energy program and through that program to provide a focus for member company energy advocacy activities. 11. Air Quality Survey Following up on the report made at the May meeting, Mr, Griffith provided updated results of the survey of member companies on the status of implementation of the air quality program. Based on the significantly higher response rate, it was agreed that the survey results could be used in advocacy with respect to reauthorization of the Clean Air Act, CMA 065991 COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS EXHIBIT A 1, International Trade Committee * Juliane H.

Regional Executive Contact Meetings o The "inreach" program which was undertaken this year was a success and should be continued. A report on this year's meetings has been prepared and will be sent to all Executive Contacts. o For 1987-68, we will hold a special 2-hour meeting for Execu tive Contacts in conjunction with the fall semiannual meeting in New York. The meeting will allow the officers to update the membership on current issues and priorities, and will be structured to provide the opportunity for the Executive Contacts to provide feedback to CMA through the use of small breakout groups. o A follow-up round of regional meetings will tentatively be scheduled for 1988/89. 2. Membership o The group developed some suggestions for changes in the Association's membership criteria that would allow additional chemical manufacturing firms to qualify for membership. These suggestions are being referred to the Membership Committee for review and for the development of final recommendations for Bylaws change to be presented at the September 1 Board meet ing. o The Association will review the merits of raising the minimum fee for membership (currently about $5,5001 to more accurately reflect the services and value provided. o The Association should pursue an aggressive program to recruit new members, with the Membership Committee serving as the catalyst and coordinating group. CMA 065993 T 1 o As part of the membership drive, the Association should offer a phased-in fee schedule (1/3 first year, 2/3 second year, full dues third year) particularly to attract newly organized companies, including leveraged buyouts. 3. Other Associations o The Association should continue to pursue the formation of an international chemical manufacturers federation. The fed eration would have neither budget nor staff. o The Officers will host visits from the European chemical associations, following up on the Officers' visit to Europe this spring. o The Officers will undertake a series of visits with other key associations in the United States, such as API, SOCMA, etc. O A Board group should be established to analyze the relation ship among the domestic Associations representing the chemical industry. o CMA should examine how to encourage additional company support for CIIT. 4. Board and Executive Committee Meetings and Activities o The format and content of the meetings will be changed to provide more focus on priority action items and less attention to informational presentations and detailed briefing mate rials. o The direct involvement of all the Directors in the meetings and activities of the Board and Association will be a priority in the year ahead. o The annual reports of the standing committees will no longer be made to the Board, but to the review committees instead. o Board meetings will be scheduled for no more than three hours, with the bulk of the time to be targeted for presentations and discussions by the Directors. o Outside speakers will be brought in on a selective basis. o Briefing materials on Board action items will generally be limited to one page. CMA 065994 --T' 3 Establishment of Board Committees 0 Issues such as liability reform and health effects, public perception of the industry, grassroots, and state affairs are increasingly important to the Association. o Using the work of the Liability Reform Work Group as a model, a number of Board committees will be established at the September meeting to review these issues and programs and to develop plans and recommendations in these areas. Board members will be asked to submit suggestions for issues or programs which require top down attention for successful resolution. Board members will also be asked to volunteer to chair and serve on these groups, together with selected representatives from existing committees. a As the work of these Board committees progresses during the year, the results will be channeled into the 1988/89 budget process with the expectation that additional support may be allocated to these areas in future years. Catalyst Awards o The Catalyst Awards for chemistry teachers will be raised immediately to $5,000 for national winners (currently $1,5001 and $2,500 for regional winners (currently $500). The award amount will be reviewed during the yeer to determine if further increases are appropriate.

BACKGROUND SB 975 says that no business shall knowingly discharge into any source of drinking water a chemical known to the state to cause cancer or birth defects. This is similar to the California law but without the "bounty hunter" provisions. This bill is currently in committee and is not expected to move. Therefore, it is very likely to appear on the ballot in November, 1968. TIMETABLE Deadline for 1988 ballot is July 1, 1988. Signature gathering could begin anytime.

Minutes of Last Meeting The Minutes of the June 3, 1987, meeting were approved as distributed. 3. Treasurer's Report Mr, Herrman reported that for the 1986/87 fiscal year concluded on May 31, the Association received revenues of $14,196,500, incurred expenses of $14,008,400 and made a contribution to reserves of $188,100. Reserves total approximately $5.88 million, repre senting approximately 38Z of the operating budget. He further reported that for the -first two months of the current fiscal year, the Association had received revenues of $13,687,000 and had incurred expenses of $1,700,000. He .indicated that dues receipts had been excellent, with only three companies remaining who had not yet paid. CMA 066001 ' '"'T j. 2 4. Committee Appointmenta Mr. Van Vlack presented the list (Exhib it A) of proposed appointments to fill vacancies on several of the Asso ciation's standing and special committees, including the appointment of Messrs. Stenzel and Deavenport to the Special Programs Policy Committee. These were approved. 5. Nominating Committee Dr. Forney presented the nomination of Davis Richardson, President of Shell Chemical Company, for membership on the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee for a term ending May 31, 1988, replacing James Street of the same company, who had been named Presi dent, Shell Development Company. 6. President's Report There was discussion of the written Presi dent's Report included in the Board book for each meeting. It was agreed that a shorter and more focused document would be of greater use to Directors in preparing for the meeting. A target of 8-10 pages was suggested, 7. Review of Board Agenda Items a. Liability Reform Work Group The morning report of the group was discussed further with particular emphasis on the recent tort reform effort In Texas. It was the consensus of the Executive Committee that the Liability Reform Work Group place added emphasis on: coalitionlng (particularly with labor and other nonbusiness groups), judicial selection and training, and counteracting over the long-term the disproportionate influence of the trial bar. b. Title III Implementation Additional discussion focused on: the need to distinguish the treatment of routine (process) releases from those that are sudden and accidental, the need for CMA leadership in message development and plant manager training, and the need to get out in front with local officials and opinion leaders before the emission data is required to be filed and made public in July, 1988. c. Worker Notification There was extensive discussion of the pending worker notification legislation, its prospects for enactment, CMA's position, and the extent of the Association's activities and its profile with respect to the Metzenbaum and Gaydos bills. There was overall consensus that no change in the Association's position of support for the Metzenbaum/ Gaydos worker notification legislation (as modified to meet our priority concerns) was warranted. There was also consensus that CMA's activities in support of the legislation should be consistent with our original agreement with the ^sponsors and that such support should be manifested in the lowest possible "profile. d. Clean Air Act There was brief discussion of the pending Senate legislation. It was agreed that the Association would continue to appose the air toxics provisions as currently drafted in the Senate and would continue to coordinate closely with Representative Dlngell in the House. e. Trade There was brief discussion of the pending conference committee consideration of the Omnibus Trade Bill, the negotiations on a U.S,/Canada free trade agreement, and the possible need for Board member/CEO calls on both issues. CMA 066002 T' 3 8. Membership Committee Hr. Sadler reviewed the Officers' June request thee the Membership Committee should develop recommendations to esse the membership requirements end to pursue as aggressive recruitment program to enlist new members in the organization, particularly those major chemical companies who are currently the beneficiaries of the Association's advocacy programs without being CMA members. As a first step In this effort, the Board approved a phased-in fee schedule for new members at the June meeting. He reported that amendments to the Bylaws had been developed to allow the following types of chemical companies (which were previously Ineligible) to join: Mixers, formulators, compounders and blenders; totally captive chemi cal manufacturers not selling any substantial amount of their production in the open market; developers and marketers of chemical products who contract out for the actual manufacturing; and those companies whose chemical manu facturing operations that are a significant,.but not the primary, part of a member's business. In addition to the Bylaws changes required to be made to effect these changes, conforming changes would also be required to the "Definition of Chemical Sales" in order to provide a dues base for the new classes of members. He indicated that these chemical sales definition changes would likely have an impact on a number of existing members. Mr. Sadler pointed out that while the chemical sales definition changes contained in the recommendation were not perfect, it was nacessary to adopt them at this time in order to be able to move ahead on the membership drive. Further modifica tions and clarifications to the definition could be made at a subsequent time. Mr. Sadler moved approval of the recommendations to: amend the membership criteria In the Bylaws (Exhibit B); approve on an Interim basis for new members the conforming changes In the Definition of Chemical Sales (Exhibit C); approve the revised application form (Exhibit D); and request that the Impact of these changes be reviewed so that appropriate final recommendations can be brought forward. Following considerable discussion of the recommendations in general and the nature and potential impact of the changes in the definition of chemical sales In particular, the motion was agreed to. Mr. Sadler then advised that the Membership Committee had reviewed Che qualifications of Cain Chemical, Sterling Chemical, Georgia Gulf and Harborchem and recommended their election to membership. With respect to Harborchem, the recommendation was conditional upon approval of the Bylaw changes. These new members were approved for presentation to the Board, Finally, Mr. Sadler indicated that a list of prospective members would be circulated at the Board meeting the following day and that volun teers from the Board would be solicited to contact these companies regarding membership. 9. Ad Hoc Board Committees Mr. Sorgenti presented the Officers' recommendations (Exhibit E) for the formation of the ad hoc Board Committees. These were approved for presentation to the Board. The importance of the standing committees in this process was emphasized, with the ad hoc Board CMA 066003 T' 4 groups1 activities being Intended to be additive to the existing efforts. The addition of non-Bosrd member participants to the Board committees was also contemplated. 10. Energy lasues Chairman Forney led a discussion on the eval uation) activities and current status of the Association's Special Energy Advisory Group (SEAG) and the Independent coalition of chemical companies comprising the Coalition Opposed to Energy Texes (COET). Be reviewed the Officers' discussions with respect to the sctlvltles end future of the two groups (SEAG and COET) and expressed the Officers' consensus that CHA intended to be en active pleyer on energy issues, noting the June budget amendment for energy activities. He Indicated that COET will continue to operate for the immediate future for two reasons; chemical companies who ere energy consumers only (not producers) want to be represented independently, and the cost of COET's retained lobbyist la beyond CMA'e budget structure for the current year. Hr. Baker observed that ones CHA's energy advocacy program is firmly reestablished, the possibility exists for the two efforts to be merged under CHA sponsorship. **** The meeting adjourned at 3:25 p.m. Charles W.

Chairman Sorgenti requested input from the Directors on the areas where these ad hoe committees should be formed. The following criteria were suggested in.evalu ating the appropriateness of an issue or progrsm for Board involvement: e Does the issue have special implications or impact for the chemical industry in particular, as opposed to industry in general? e Is it a program or issue not currently being effectively addressed by the existing CKA 'core program* or which couldn't satisfactorily be assigned to an existing committee? e Is it a program or issue which would benefit substantially from Board member/CEO involvement (e.g., is top-down involvement the difference between success and failure)? e Is it an issue which presents the opportunity for (or demands) a bold move and/or requires the dedication of a significant amount of addi tional resources to resolve? e Are the players/disciplines/committees so diverse or the issues so divisive that the normal CMA committee process is unlikely to be able to resolve it? Thirty directors submitted comments which were evaluated by CMA staff and the Officers. Based on those comments and evaluation, the Officers are recommending the formation (or expansion in the case of the Liability Reform Work Group) of seven ad hoc Board committees. While most of the suggestions from the Directors are accommodated within the charters of these new committees, there were other worthwhile suggestions which will either be handled directly by the Officers or which will be turned back into the normal standing committee process for enhanced attention. recommendations e That the following ad hoc Board Committees be established as special committees of the Board of Directors: - Public Perception Committee - Advocacy Committee - Health Effects Committee - State Toxics Initiative Work Group - Liability Reform Work Group - Trade/Economics/Tax/Competitiveness Advisory Group - Transportation Advisory Group CMA 066011 -2 That the charters of the Board committees as set forth in Exhibits B-l through B-'< be approved. e That the appointment of chairmen and the tentative assignment of Directors to serve on these committees as set forth in Exhibit A be approved. (Tentative committee assignments have been made based on the comments of those Directors who indicated a preference and on the need to provide an even distribution of Directors on the various conmiittees. Each member of the Board, with the ex ception of the Officers and the existing Board Committee Chairmen, have been tentatively assigned to one of the new committees. Directors who wish a dif ferent assignment will be given that opportunity at the Board meeting. Addi tional assignments of standing committee and other participants to these committees will be made subsequently.) ACTIOH REQDESTED Approval of the above recommendations.

This capability was fully demonstrated at the federal legislative level in the 1985/86 Superfund reauthoriza tion process. Despite this success, it is clear that the industry has not yet achieved its full advocacy capability across the spectrum of its advocacy responsibilities. Develop recommendations and identify resources to achieve the level and type of advocacy capability necessary to successfully meet the public policy challenges the chemical industry faces. The Advocacy Committee will examine and recommend ways to optimize the chemical industry's advocacy at all levels (federal, state, local and international) and in all forums (legislative, regulatory and judicial) through establishing, strengthening, integrating, coordinating, or reorganizing various programs or activities. ' The committee will direct particular attention to the follow ing areas where the needs/opportunities are perceived to be greatest: o Increased support and involvement for state chemical organizations (CICs). Potential areas for considera tion include staffing, funding, membership, member company participation, scope of programs and activities, and organizational relationship with CMA. o Increased support and involvement for state legislative and regulatory advocacy. Potential areas for consider ation include the role of CMA on state issues (direct vs. indirect), state initiatives, state vs. federal issue needs and timing, personnel commitment of member companies to state advocacy. o Increased support for federal legislative advocacy. Potential areas for consideration include federal grassroots, candidate information, political contri butions, direct involvement in campaign activity, and use of legislative consultants. o Maximize positive interaction among domestic trade associations on issues of common concern. CMA 066014 --- T o Regulatory advocacy and the need for additional financial and personnel aupport for legal and technical/research advocacy programs. o The increased demand for intense cownunications advocacy support on multiple issues. o International advocacy. o Local advocacy, including the use of the CAER network for advocacy purposes. The committee will include in its recommendations the resource requirements needed to achieve the objective of optimizing advocacy at the various levels and forums. t*t CMA-8/7/87 CMA 066015 i. PUBLIC PERCEPTION COMMITTEE Premise: The public has a negative overall image of the chemical Industry. No significant improvement in that image has occurred, despite the industry's improved performance in many areas and its continuing contribution to the eco nomic health of the country end the public's quality of life. If this strongly negative image continues, the . industry's long-term prospects for-innovation and growth are threatened by Ill-conceived legislation end regula tion, and by a negative market climate for our products. The only way to achieve a change in our image is through a broad-based, industry-wide effort organized and led by the industry's senior management. Objective: Long-term, significant Improvement in the public's perception of the chemical industry, its products and its performance. Committee Charter: The Public Perception Committee will: o Quantify the current perception end basis for that perception of the chemical Industry by those publics most important to our future viability and growth. o Explore ways to assess, promote, measure end docu ment positive chemical industry performance on issues of high public concern or Interest (Deliver ing on our promises -- CAER, sir quality, waste minimization, waste site cleanup, transportation i safety, etc.) o Explore ways to improve industry/academia relation ship for our mutual benefit. o Examine and develop strategies to Increase positive public perception of the chemical industry and Its activities and products. These strategies would specifically address the Issues of risk perception, risk perspective end risk acceptance and would be used to communicate to identified publics (i.e., legislators, regulators, other public officials, plant communities, employees, shareholders, sup pliers, customers, teachers, students, public interest groups, etc.) o Recommend programs end activities, utilizing CMA, member company end other identified resources, to Implement those strategies to achieve the overall program objective. o Calculate the resources (industry and association) needad to carry out the recommended programs end activities. CMA-6/7/87 l CMA 066016 T i HEALTH EFFECTS COMMITTEE Premist: The reel end perceived lapect of chemicals on human heelth Is the princlpel driving force behind much of the legislation end reguletlon v face. In addition to environmental impacts, the public's mein concern end interest with respect to chemicals is their impact on human heelth. The chemical industry has contended that while a few substances pose a real risk to human health when sufficient exposure occurs, the vast majority of chemicals do not pose any substantial threat to health. The limited amount of human health data (epidemiology studies, etc.) that is available generally supports this view. However, the problem is very little data exists to broadly respond to the public's perception and the charges of our opponents. Objective: Develop data and credible studies to show that chemicals generally do not pose a significant threat to public health. ` Committee Charter: The Health Effects Committee will explore and make recommendations on: o Enhanced CMA coordination with and company support for CUT and its programs. o Coordination and sharing among companies of health affects data and studies. o Improved legislative and regulatory uae of . human health effects data and studies. 0 Rationalization and coordination of health affects studies required by the U.S. and foreign agencies. o Enhanced cooperation and coordination oii healtn effect studies among the chemical industry worldwide. ' o Identification of additional ways to improve, promote, coordinate and share health effects data.

The Act contains tone of the eoat extreae environmental requirements yet imposed under state or federal law. The most likely effect of the law will be huge expenditures by business that represent lost opportunities to address more serious and real environmental problems ,, After their success in California, the proponents of the initiative are likely to seek similar laws in other states, either through initiatives or legislative action. The net result would be to steer environmental regulation away from permits and safe effluent/emission limits, to zero discharge. Objective: Develop and implement an industry-wide strategy to manage state toxics initiative/legislation and to minimise the adverse impact of these laws on the chemical industry. Committee Charter: The State Toxics Initiative Work Group will: o Examine, recommend and expedita implementation of generic legislative/initiative strategies which can be modified and customized for specific states. o Provide guidance on development of a "model" state initiative for possible introduction incorporating Industry-accepted principles on groundwater, air and/or waste issues. o Ensure timely delivery of positions/principles to state industry organizations and other state coalitions. o Examine ways to focus the support and involvement of member companies in resisting undesirable Proposition 65 type state initiatives. o Examine ways to develop and implement a national coalition on state toxics initiative Issues. -v o Calculate the resources (industry and association) needed to carry out recommended programs and activities. o Develop and implement a funding plan which would include an industry-wide pledge of resources end appropriate funding mechanisms. CMA EC-8/31/87 BD-9/1/87 CMA 066018 --- TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY GROUP PROBLEM OBJECTIVE COMMITTEE CHARTER The public and elected official* are becoming increasingly concerned about risks posed by hazardous materials transportation, the current level of safety, and emergency responders' ability to effectively handle transportation incidents. These concerns could lead to severe restrictions -- perhaps even banning of the movement of many hazardous materials. If CMA fails to address this problem, chemical transportation will be mired in even more detailed restrictions which will hamper the smooth flow of raw materials and products. To develop new, or expand existing safety initiatives and educational programs. Working with the Distribution Cosmittee, the Transportation Advisory Group will examine and develop recomaendations on; e Upgraded, real-time product identification, tracking and information systems e Transportation risk management programs e Emergency response-related programs a Public perception relating to transportation e Other transportation and carrier safety issues which merit additional priority attention CMA EC - 08/31/8?

Tbeee proposals are based on the assumption that the currant sytam is not able to fairly and efficiently compensate persons injured by long-term exposure to haxardoue substances. Public institutions can be expected to carefully review this issue in the months ahead. QtA must be prepared to participate in the public debate. Recommend the long-ten goals and principles CHA should adopt on toxic hens, including alleged harms from produets, workplace exposures and anvironaantal releases. The Liability Reform Work Croup will: o Review previous CHA positions on toxic harm issues. o Assess CHA's current tort reform efforts, both in the ststes and at the federal level. o Identify the critical interests of the chemicel industry in the toxic harm issue, including such business impacts as the availability of insurance and such protections as fault-based liability. o Obtain information to better understand trends in workers' compensation and toxie torts and examine the public's perception regarding thase issues. e* o Examine whether the existing tort law and workers' compensation systems are adequately handling alleged toxic harms, and whether they will continue to do ao in the future. o Ascertain what assistanea ecience can offer to halp resolve the causation issua and whet procadural changes in existing compensation systems and tort law could assura better utilization of science. o In addition to seeking tort reform, explore potential advantages and disadvantages of alternative compensation systems. CHA EC-8/31/87 BD-8/31/87 CMA 066020 T TRADE/ECONOMICS/TAX/COMPETITIVENESS ADVISORY GROUP Premise: The world chemical Industries ara undergoing great changes in structure. Governments, Including that of tha U.S., ara increasingly setting trade and tax policies that can advantage or disadvantage the U.S. industry. Negotiations to open markets have resulted in tha Generalized System of Preferences and the Carribean Initiative, with the U.S. - Canada Free Trade Agreement and GATT multi national negotiations now underway. Achieving equity in these is essential to the well being of the industry. Economic data in support of CMA issue advocacy has proven highly useful in the limited number of areas where it has been available, but effective extension of similar efforts to other issues is needed. The competitiveness of the industry, Including the overall impact of local, federal and state measures, causes growing concern. Effective ways must be found to measure and address this problem. Objective: Strengthen the impact of the chemical industry on developing public policy so as to enhance the economic viability of the industry. Committee Charter: The Advisory Group on Trade, Economics, Tax and Coaipetitiveness will: o Examine the priority and scope of advocacy in trade and tax policy and make any recommendations necessary to ensure appropriate levels of activity. o Examine CMA trade philosophy to set tone for International Trade Committee efforts. o Identify and examine factors which cumulatively affect chemical industry competitiveness. o Determine effective approaches to supporting CMA issue advocacy with economic rationale and recommend means to achieve them. o Provide an informed source of executive involvement to supplement existing advocacy.
