Johnson ssJOSi 3111, you wanted to hocere roere finiliar with the legal-political prcclcr.s facing Arcelor with regard to pollution ar.d the accusations in the literature that chlorinated biphenyls are poisonins a^d 'Killins wildlife. These wildlife people have to be taken seriously. They have taken the D.vT industry to court in Vis- * consin. to prevent tha use and sale of DDT in Wisconsin and if they win in that state, DLT will "be banned in uany others. This case was on National Television last week. The wildlife people are o dedicated to the arise of DDT. Our probler is that. Aroelor has been "identified" alona with DDT residues and. hence we are alaost The thM'd step ir. to minimize cr.pccv.ro of Aroe3.or, to reduce air *ar.d water po31utJ.cn, to restrict. Aroclor to uses which con be controlled. This is the only vay I see to survive. I believe v:r should make su~a that our plants have minimum air or stream. pollution. I believe Anniston is vulnerable and that off-gas KC1 and Aroclor should be 1005 controlled. Kromarich r.v.y ?.lso need help. X believe v;e should demonstrate that Aroclor can be incinerated to harriess products for disposal. . I believe we should help our customers dispose of off-grace or non-reworkaole Aroclor, cither by in cinerating cr by tonic cunp. * I I believe plasticizer group marketing should know where their oroduct is going and be able to mini mize exposure'risk if Aroclor has truly beer, identiTied as a pollutant. I Ve probably have 6 months to 1 year while they fight out the DI7T case. I want to use this time to minimise our exposure. Vc will need your help * 5 .P nr TSD Carpets. ... i M* * . W . -R.
