INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM Date: From: Dept: Tel No: ll-May-1992 11:11am CDT Loren Wassell WASSELL, LOREN W. MCC 314-694-7002 FAX 314-694-1585 TO: Laurence J. O'Neill ( O'NEILL, LAURENCE J. ) CC: CC: CC: Kevin S. Cahill Rita A. Hartmann Nancy J. Pollock ( CAHILL, KEVIN S. ) ( HARTMANN, RITA A. ) ( POLLOCK, NANCY J. ) Subject: HIGHLIGHTS o On Friday, May 8, we announced Monsanto is no longer considering Bowling Green, Kentucky, for a new Fome-Cor plant. Coverage was balanced, and, we hope, finished. Public Affairs will join the business group in examining other sites to help assess and manage community issues. o The Wall Street Journal's Scott McMurray made a second visit to the Sauget area to ask about remediation sites. It's not yet clear where his story will focus, and he's indicated it won't appear soon. Questions have touched on the former Krummrich landfill, PCBs in Dead Creek and financial reserves for remediation. (Corporate ultimately declined any interview on the reserves because of potential litigation.) Loren Wassell DSW 136140 STLCOPCB4036109
