TO: Distribution Interoffice Communication FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: W.L. McClain December 7, 1989 PVC/VC LITIGATION DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION VISTA Attached is the first attempt at organizing all relevant existing documents which could be needed in the defense of litigation involving either PVC or vinyl chloride. I would greatly appreciate it if you could review the index of the documents currently organized, and advise me as to whether you currently have additional documents which should be included in the index. If you do have such documents I can arrange to assist you in locating, organizing and reproducing them for the repository. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions please call me. William L.

Grumbles December 13, 1989 CLEAN AIR ACT AMENDMENTS VISIA Attached is a major issue comparison of the four most recent CAA amendment bills. At this time it appears S. 816 and H. R. 3030 are the most likely to survive. Also, attached is the list of Chemicals to be included as Hazardous air pollutants as it exists now in H. R. 3030 which is favored by the administration. CMA has heard that the administration desires to have a bill done by April 20, Earth Day. Most insiders doubt that can happen. T. G.
