Gorey - B2SL. . . * 3) H. S. Bergen - B2SL As you know, our approved policy on selling Pydrauls to, the German Mines is that we are permitted to do:so until substitutes can be found and approved (assuming of course no German laws banning PCB's, etc., are passed in the : meantime) . . . : The attached telex from Peter Marsh and Keith Fletcher - summarizes the current position on this subject as well: as their suggestion on how we define our supply' commit-: ... ment to this market. ' . . . ' . - My recommendation is that we accept the proposal Peter , makes and that we continue to supply indefinitely our . PCB Pydrauls subject to the. contingencies he outlines. ,: and secondly,, that we continue, to pursue approval on other non-PCB & PCT containing Pydrauls based on other; : . formulations. . I certainly do not feel we should lose, market share at : ,. this time, particularly since Bayer themselves are . '; supplying an Aroclor-1242 type, product now to the. . V;.';'. German Mines If the three of us ,are in agreement, then I think we should seek final- concurrence with Pres Cunningham so that he clearly understands where we stand and what1our. future posture will be. .. !
