PENNSYLVANIA A MISSOURI July 31, 1990 Peter Montague, Ph.D., Editor Environmental Research Foundation P.O. Box 3541 Princeton, NJ 08543-3541 Re: William R. Gaffey, Ph.D. Dear Dr. Montague: Thank you for your letter dated July 18, 1990, in which you agreed to print a retraction regarding William R. Gaffey, Ph.D. Dr. Gaffey has forwarded to me the retraction and clarification that you requested about the Monsanto press release. However, before sending you the retraction and clarification, please send a check in the amount of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150.00) to cover Dr. Gaffey's legal fees. Dr. Gaffey is unwilling to settle this matter unless he receives a satisfactory retraction and payment of his legal fees. If payment is not received by August 17, 1990 followed by an immediate retraction, which will be forwarded to you upon receipt of this payment, appropriate legal action will be taken to protect Dr. Gaffey from the torts of defamation, disparagement or injurious falsehood and interference with prospective and existing contractual relations. Please be advised that Dr. Gaffey has authorized me to vigorously enforce all of his legal rights and remedies in order to rectify his good name. Thank you for your attention to this matter. An immediate payment of Dr. Gaffey's legal fees followed by a suitable retraction will settle this case. Very truly MRG/ks Monnye R. Gross
