' CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS DIVISION INTER-OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE WRG 37b I? PLAINTIFFS 11 EXHIBIT || WRG-582 TO: K. Harrison, Cambridge from; C. Wendel, Los Angeles CC: DATE: November 23, 1970 subject: Mono-Kote Research Thanks for sending me the outline for Mono-Kote Research. It looks to me that it is very thorough and well organized. I would like to stress that although cost is mentioned, I do not think it is emphasized enough. It should be high on the priority list We have just run out another batch of MK 4 and find that the cost per bag at the plant for MK 4 is 23d per bag more than MK 3. This increase would make it very difficult to substitute MK 4 for MK 3 and expect our customers who have large contracts to swallow the difference. The main increase in cost is due to the price of the fiber and I am wondering if everything possible is being done by our purchasing department to get a lower price on this item. At one point, the cellulosic fiber was more or less a by-product for the wood people. They are certainly not pricing the product on that basis. We are very pleased with the working qualities of MK 4 and if it were not for the increased cost we would swing over to it as soon as possible. I am returning the white paper to you as requested.
