5 EXAMINATION
6 BY MR. DELUCA:
7 Q Mr. King, good morning.
8 A Good morning.
9 Q My name is Aaron DeLuca and I represent a
10 number of individuals who have claims against Union
11 Carbide Corporation in asbestos cases. I appreciate
12 you coming in this morning. I don't think I am going
13 to take very much of your time. I understand that you
14 are a lawyer?
15 A Correct.
16 Q And you are presently general counsel to
17 Elkem Metals Company?
18 A Yes.
.
19 Q That being said, I am sure you are very
20 familiar with the deposition process, just let me
21 remind you if you don't understand one of my
22 questions, I would ask that you tell me that and I
23 will attempt to repeat it or rephrase it. Fair
24 enough?
25 A Fair enough.
4
-- 1 Q I have issued a subpoena dated December 7, 2 2001 along with a notice of deposition, which I am 3 going to ask be marked as Deposition Exhibit No. 1. 4 And you have that in front of you right now; correct? 5 A I do. 6 (Thereupon, Deposition Exhibit No. 1 was 7 marked for identification.) 8 Q And you have had a chance to review that? 9 A Yes.
10 MR. HERSHEY: I would like just to have one 11 point of clarification and that is that the 12 subpoena was issued on behalf of the plaintiffs 13 in the cases that are pending against Union ' 14 Carbide. 15 MR. DELUCA: Yes, sir. 16 MR. HERSHEY: And I would like it noted 17 that Mr. King is here under subpoena and he is 18 not testifying in cooperation with plaintiffs but 19 going to respond to questions put to him under 20 subpoena. 21 MR. DELUCA: I agree to that. 22 Q Mr. King, do you recall our initial contact 23 on December 6 when I contacted the law department of 24 Elkem Metals? 25 A I remember a phone call, yes.
5
1 Q Sure. And at that time your secretary or 2 paralegal answered the phone. And I identified myself 3 to her as being a plaintiff's attorney. Following 4 that, she connected me with you, do you remember that? 5 A I remember being connected with you, yes. 6 Q What was the name of the lady who forwarded 7 that call to you? 8 A Her name is Kathleen spelled with a K, 9 Kantor,also spelled K-a-n-t-o-r. 10 Q Is she a paralegal with the law department 11 at Elkem Metals? 12 A She is kind of a girl Friday, she does 13 everything. She is my secretary, she's a paralegal, 14 we have a very small department. 15 Q Would you describe to me your employment 16 history with Elkem Metals as far as when you started 17 and the positions you have held? 18 A I started in February, 1985 in the same 19 position I hold today. 20 Q As vice president and general counsel? 21 A Correct. 22 Q You have had a chance to review the 23 documents which were attached to the subpoena that I 24 issued on December 7? 25 A Correct.
6
1 Q Can you provide me with any information as 2 to what, if any, business entities Elkem Metals 3 purchased from Union Carbide in the early '80's? 4 A The transaction was completed in 1981. I 5 believe the actual closing date was June 30, 1981. 6 And by virtue of that agreement, Elkem purchased the, 7 what was then known as the metals division of Union 8 Carbide Corporation. It was an asset purchase and the 9 assets -- I may miss something here -- but the assets, 10 as I recall, consisted of a plant in Marietta, Ohio, a 11 plant in Ashtabula, Ohio, a plant in Alloy, West 12 Virginia, a plant in Alabama, I think it was 13 Birmingham but I am not certain, and a plant in 14 Portland, Oregon. 15 The transaction also consisted of a lease 16 of facilities in Niagara Falls, New York and I'm 17 sorry, when I said Birmingham, Alabama, it was really 18 Sheffield, Alabama, I recall it now. There was also a 19 transaction agreed to at that time whereby Elkem would 20 purchase two plants in Canada at a later date. And 21 those two plants were actually purchased in 1984. 22 Q Can you tell me how Hawks Nest or Glen 23 Ferris fits into these transactions that Elkem entered 24 into with Union Carbide in 1981? 25 A Hawks Nest and Glen Ferris are
7
1 hydroelectric facilities that are located in proximity 2 to the Alloy, West Virginia plant and they were part 3 of assets of the purchase that were purchased. 4 Q Do I understand these to be hydroelectric 5 power plants? 6 A Correct. 7 Q And is there one plant or are there two 8 plants? 9 A There is two plants. 10 Q And they are known as Hawks Nest and Glen 11 Ferris? 12 A Correct. 13 MR. DELUCA: Off the record, please. 14 {Discussion off the record.) 15 MR. DELUCA: We are going back on the 16 record. 17 BY MR. DELUCA: 18 Q Mr. King, before we went off the record we 19 were just talking about the Hawks Nest plant and the 20 Glen Ferris plant which were hydroelectric power 21 plants, which were part of the purchase by Elkem of 22 the metals division of Union Carbide and I believe
23 that you told me that these two power plants were
24 associated with the facility in Alloy, West Virginia; 25 is that correct?
rr
8
--' 1 A That's correct. 2 Q With regard to the documents which I am 3 seeking by the subpoena which are enumerated in the 4 letter with enclosures dated August 17, 1981 from Mr. 5 DeBor to Mr. Fawcett, have you undertaken a search to 6 determine whether Elkem presently possesses those 7 documents? 8 A I have done as much as I thought I could to 9 attempt to determine if they exist.
10 Q And would you describe for me fully the 11 steps that you have taken on behalf of Elkem to 12 determine whether those documents are in existence and 13 if so where they would be located? 14 A Well, the starting point was to contact the 15 person to whom the letter of August 17 was addressed, 16 Mr. Harry W. Fawcett. I called his home, I talked to 17 him briefly to describe what was in the letter. I 18 read him the letter, and then I asked him if he had 19 any recollection at all of having received the 39 20 cartons of documents that are identified in the 21 letter. And the short answer is he had no 22 recollection at all. In fact, he didn't even remember 23 who I was, so, that was a dead end. That produced 24 nothing. 25 Then I went, I looked at our records
------------------------------p-f----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9
1 retention policy to see if there was any category of 2 documents in that policy that might have -- that these 3 boxes might have fit into. I really didn't find 4 anything that was relevant, in my mind, at least, as 5 to a category that might have picked up these 6 documents. 7 Then I had my legal assistant, Mrs. Kantor, 8 check our database, that is our own law department 9 database, which includes all of our departmental 10 records by category, and she didn't find anything in 11 there that was applicable. 12 And the last step was to check the manifest 13 of retired documents that we have. We store retired 14 documents in a mine north of Butler, Pennsylvania and 15 the manifest categorizes those records both by the 16 name of the person who delivers them for the storage 17 and also by category in very broad categories. An 18 example of the latter would be accounts receivable, 19 for example, and under documents that I have sent for 20 storage it comes under the heading FK, Frank King. 21 And we looked through that and we didn't find anything 22 that looked applicable. Those are the steps I took. 23 Q I would like to ask you about each one of 24 those, if you don't mind. 25 A Sure.
10
1 Q When you talked to Mr. Fawcett and you read 2 him this letter, am I correct that he said he just 3 didn't remember receiving these documents as opposed 4 to telling you that he did not receive these 5 documents? 6 A He said he didn't remember. 7 Q He couldn't tell you one way or theother? 8 A That's right. 9 Q And did Mr. Fawcett cite to you any other 10 individuals that he thought perhaps could address your 11 inquiry? 12 A No. 13 Q Do you know when Mr. Fawcett retired from 14 Elkem Metals? 15 A Actually, I don't think he ever worked for 16 Elkem Metals. Harry Fawcett was -- I only know this 17 by what predated my being employed by Elkem in 1985, 18 Harry Fawcett, originally was a fairly high ranking 19 executive at Alcoa. At the time that I knew him after 20 I started in 1985, he was retired, and he was working, 21 I believe, as a consultant for a sister company of
22 Elkem called Elkem Chemicals. They were located at
23 Building No. 1 on Cliff Mine Road in Pittsburgh. And 24 he worked there. I met him a few times. He left the 25 company about a year after I started.
TT
11
1 Q Mr. King, I note that your business card
2 indicates that you are employed by Elkem Metals
3 Company, LP.
4 A That's an old card. It's no longer true.
5 It's now called Elkem Metals Chem, Inc. I just
6 haven't had the cards updated.
7 Q I would note that both of those entities
8 differ from the entity that's listed in this letter
9 dated August 17, 1981.
10 A That's correct.
11 Q That was addressed to Mr. Fawcett of Elkem
12 Management, Incorporated?
13 A Right.
14 Q Is that a different company than the Elkem
15 Metals?
16 A It is. They are sister/daughter type
17 companies. It's all one umbrella of companies under
18 the same ultimate management ownership.
19
Q
I am not seeking anyconfidential
or
20 proprietary information about the operations of Elkem,
21 but can you tell me what relationship Elkem Management
22 has or had with Elkem Metals?
23 A Well, at the time this letter was written,
24 August 17, it would have post dated the closing on the
25 purchase arrangement and Elkem Management, Inc. would
12
1 have been the managing partner of Elkem Metals 2 Company. I can tell you what the structure was at 3 that time. There were four partners, they were all 4 ultimately owned by a Norwegian corporation called 5 Elkem Metal Chem a/s, small a, small s, and those four 6 partners, in turn, owned -- I'm sorry, Elkem 7 Management, Inc. is a corporation. Those four 8 corporations that I just mentioned, owned the 9 partnership, Elkem Metals Company. 10 Q Is there an entity in existence today known 11 as Elkem Management, Incorporated? 12 A No. 13 Q Can you tell me when Elkem Management, 14 Incorporated -- well, strike that. Is there --do you 15 know whether Elkem Management, Incorporated ceased to 16 do business or whether it changed its name? 17 A Changed its name. And then it ceased to do 18 business subsequent to that. 19 Q Can you tell me the name of the entity that 20 Elkem Management, Incorporated became known as before 21 it ceased to do business? 22 A Well, today, what was Elkem Management, 23 Inc., along with several other companies are now 24 merged together in a single company known as Elkem 25 Investment Holdings, Inc.
r~r
13
-- 1 Q Where is that entity headquartered today? 2 A In Pittsburgh. 3 Q You are not employed by that company; 4 correct? 5 A No. 6 Q You don't serve as general counsel to them? 7 A I do in the sense that it's a -- yes, I do 8 serve as general counsel to them. 9 Q Do they maintain records separate and apart
10 from Elkem Metals? 11 A No. 12 Q Did you contact anyone at Elkem Investment? 13 A Could I correct that? 14 Q Yes, sir. 15 A They do maintain separate records in the 16 sense of corporate identity type records like minute 17 books and all the corporate documents. But as far as 18 correspondence and that type of thing, they are all 19 held at our offices pretty much together. 20 Q Did you contact anyone associated with 21 Elkem Investment Holdings, Incorporated to determine 22 whether or not they possessed the records which are 23 listed in this letter of August 17, 1981? 24 A No. 25 Q Are you able to tell me -- withdraw that
~ " -- " *T t----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14
1 question. 2 When you spoke to Mr. Fawcett, you said 3 that he was here in the Pittsburgh area? 4 A Yes. 5 Q Does he presently live in Sewickley, 6 Pennsylvania? 7 A Yes. 8 Q Does he work in any capacity with Elkem 9 today, for instance, as a consultant? 10 A No. 11 Q Getting back to the four steps that you 12 listed for me, I think the second one is that you 13 checked your records retention policy? 14 A Correct. 15 Q You wouldn't have a copy of that with you 16 today would you? 17 A I do. 18 Q May I mark that as Deposition Exhibit 2? 19 (Thereupon, Deposition Exhibit No. 2 was 20 marked for identification.) 21 Q Did I understand you to say that when you 22 reviewed the records retention policy today, you
23 didn't see any categories of documents in here which
24 would suggest to you that the documents that I am 25 seeking have been destroyed subject to this policy?
FT
15
1 A I didn't see any category of documents 2 listed in that policy that I thought would pick up the 3 types of documents that were in the letter that was 4 addressed to Mr. Fawcett. 5 Q Okay. And then you indicated that your 6 assistant, Ms. Kantor, checked the database that your 7 law department maintains which covered departmental 8 records? 9 A Correct. 10 Q Can you tell me when that database came 11 into existence? 12 A Only roughly. I would say probably about 13 1996 or 7, I am not sure which. 14 Q And that was after the point in time you 15 joined Elkem? 16 A Yes. 17 Q Is this something that was done pursuant to 18 your instruction? 19 A Yes. 20 Q And can you tell me what efforts were made 21 in -- I'm sorry, did you say '86? 22 A What are you asking me, when -23 Q When did the database come into existence? 24 A Round '96 or '97. 25 Q '96 or '97?
11 i r 1
-- -- -- ...
---- .....
16
--. 1 A Right. 2 Q Can you tell me what efforts were made in 3 '96 or '97, to look to see what documents were in 4 existence for inclusion in the database? 5 A That would be all the legal department 6 records, all of our files. 7 Q If there were files which were not 8 generated or used by your legal department, they would 9 not be in your database; is that correct?
10 A That's correct. 11 Q And then, finally, you indicated that you 12 checked a manifest of retired documents? 13 A That's right. ~ 14 Q Could you just tell me what that means so 15 that we are clear? 16 A Well, when documents reach a certain point 17 in the records retention policy that they are due to 18 be retired, then they are cartoned up and sent off to 19 this storage point, which is north of Butler, 20 Pennsylvania. And then they are manifested; that is. 21 they are marked in a certain way as to what they are. 22 And then after they have been there for a period of 23 time, they are supposed to be -- when they reached the 24 destruction point, they are supposed to be destroyed. 25 And that's basically it.
------------------------------n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17
1 Q Is that the Iron Mountainfacility?
2
A
I don'tknow the name of it.
I have been
3 there but I forgot the name of it.
4 Q It's an old mine?
5 A It's an old mine, yes.
6 Q Just generally, can you tell me the volume
7 of boxes that Elkem stores at that location?
8 A I can't tell you specifically. I know that
9 I have been out there searching for documents on one
10 occasion in particular, and I spent the better part of
11 three days out there going through a definitive
12 category of documents. I knew what I was looking for.
13 Q Are there thousands of boxes there?
14 A I think so, yes.
15 Q And there is some sort of index that you
16 have created either for your own purpose or for the
17 benefit of this facility that would tell you what is
18 generally found in each box?
19 A That's the manifest that I referred to.
20 Q And can you just give me an example of the
21 type of information or the quantity of information
22 that would be located on this manifest as it would
23 relate to describing the contents of any given box?
24 A It's pretty basic. It's just like I said,
25 it's categorized by either the name of the person who
18
-- 1 sent it or the initials of the person who sent it or a 2 general subject matter like "accounts receivable," 3 that type of thing. 4 Q By chance, did you bring a copy of your 5 manifest with you today? 6 A That, X didn't, no. 7 Q Is that something that you would be willing 8 to provide? 9 A Sure.
10 Q There was no effort made to look into any 11 boxes that are housed in that storage facility north 12 of Pittsburgh to see whether the documents I am 13 seeking would be located therein? 14 A No. 15 Q There was just a general effort to see who 16 sent the boxes or whether there was any description 17 which might match what I was looking for? 18 A Correct. 19 Q Did you look for documents that Harry 20 Fawcett would have transferred to this facility or 21 possibly transferred to this facility? 22 A Well, I looked through the manifest and 23 Mrs. Kantor did, as well, under my direction, to see 24 if there was anything in there that might indicate 25 that these documents in this letter of 1981 were there
-----------------------------p-r----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19
1 and there was no indication. There was nothing under 2 the name, Fawcett, for example, HWF, or anything like 3 that. 4 Q Were there any documents that would have 5 pertained to Hawks Nest or Glen Ferris among these 6 documents that are stored there based on your review 7 of this manifest? 8 A There were general categories of what we 9 call plant documents, also of boxes of what we call 10 plant documents, okay? There were also, for example, 11 my database, there are lots and lots of files that 12 relate to Hawks Nest, that relate to Glen Ferris, that 13 relate to the Alloy plant, that type of thing, but 14 nothing that would correlate between those general 15 categories and the documents described in the letter. 16 Q Mr. King, did you or anyone at your 17 direction review the documents which you possess that 18 pertain to Hawks Nest or Glen Ferris to see whether 19 any of the documents that I am seeking were mixed in 20 with them? 21 A Well, as far as the documents that were in 22 storage, no, because we didn't go out to the mine. As
23 far as the documents that are in my database, I looked
24 at the file headings, I looked at -- I mean I know 25 these documents, and I can tell you that there's
20
nothing you are looking for that was in that, that 2 were in those documents, I am sure of that. 3 Q You had described a certain category of 4 documents as being plant documents. Let me ask you 5 about the status of Elkem in regard to the Hawks Nest 6 and the Glen Ferris plant. Does Elkem have any 7 interest in those plants at present? 8 A We own them. 9 Q You still own them today? 10 A Yes. 11 Q Was there any effort made in response to my 12 subpoena to contact those plants to determine whether 13 or not they possess any of these 39 cartons of 14 documents which I am seeking? 15 A No, I thought about that but then I thought 16 "Why bother," because these documents were sent 17 specifically to Harry Fawcett according to the letter, 18 they weren't sent to the plant, so there is no way 19 that I can think of that those documents would have 20 wound up at the plant. 21 Q That involves an assumption on your part 22 that Mr. Fawcett did not send them to the plants that 23 these documents pertain to,- correct? 24 A I guess that's right. Yes. 25 Q When I first spoke with Mrs. Kantor before
-------------------------------1 r
21
-- 1 she transferred me to you, she had indicated that she 2 had received a request three or four weeks earlier 3 than the conversation I had with her on December 6, a 4 request for these documents from someone from Texas. 5 And she believed that that person was acting on behalf 6 of Union Carbide. 7 A I don't think it was three to four weeks. 8 Very shortly before I talked with you, I received a 9 phone call from a law firm in Texas that represented
10 themselves as representing Union Carbide, inquiring 11 about the same matter. Unfortunately, I didn't write 12 the fellow's name down. And I don't know who it was 13 that contacted me but he did indicate that there was a " 14 trial that was imminent, and I don't remember the 15 court in Texas, and he asked me about these documents 16 and I said I didn't have a clue as to where they might 17 be, and if they even existed, and that was pretty much 18 it, the conversation. 19 Q Did you summarize your conversation with 20 this person in the form of memo or did you take any 21 notes about it? 22 A No. 23 Q Do you have any information as to the 24 identity of the person that called you? 25 A I don't. I didn't go back and look at my
-----------------n-----------------------------------------------------------
22
-- 1 yellow pad or white pad that I had in front of me at 2 the time. There may be a name there that I would 3 recognize but I didn't look for that. 4 Q Did that individual ask you to make any 5 search for these documents? & A No. 7 Q Is there anything else that you can recall 8 about that conversation? 9 A Just what I have told you.
10 Q The conversation that we had on the 6th, 11 which was before you were served with the subpoena in 12 this matter, during that conversation, it appeared to 13 me that I was on speakerphone and that Mrs. Kantor was * 14 in the room with you. Was that the circumstances? 15 A No, you were on the speakerphone but she 16 wasn't there. 17 Q I heard someone talking in the background. 18 Would that have been Mrs. Kantor? 19 A She might have appeared in the doorway and 20 said something or whatever, I don't know. 21 Q I thought that during our conversation the 22 name, DeBor, was raised by you as the name of somebody 23 who may have contacted you about these documents. 24 A Yes. You are right. You are right. And 25 the reason I know that is because that's a name of a
-------------------------------|--f----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23
-- 1 person I know here in Pittsburgh, that was 2 coincidental. I believe his name was DeBor. 3 Q Was this a different conversation than the 4 one you described to me? 5 A No, I think he was the --he was probably 6 the fellow that called me representing Union Carbide. 7 Q Do you know whether you received more than 8 one call from either Union Carbide or someone acting 9 on their behalf?
10 A I believe just him. 11 Q So Mr. DeBor was the one that called you, 12 asked you whether you knew where these documents were 13 and Mr. DeBor was the person who did not ask you to ^ 14 search for them? 15 A I believe so, yes. 16 Q Do you know or did he disclose to you, Mr. 17 DeBor, that he was the DeBor that had signed this 18 letter addressed to Mr. Fawcett dated August 17, 1981? 19 A Wait a minute. Now, I am getting a little 20 confused. DeBor is the name of the person on the 21 letter; correct? 22 Q That's true. 23 A Maybe that's where I picked the name up. 24 I am going to rescind my testimony that that was the 25 name of the fellow that called me. I am not sure
.........
IT
' -----
--------
24
-- 1 about that now. 2 Q Did Mr. DeBor indicate to you that he was a 3 potential witness in the Union Carbide trial which 4 just occurred in Texas? 5 MR. HERSHEY: You are now attributing an 6 understanding that he has testified he doesn't 7 have, that is he no longer -8 Q Let me rephrase get. Did Mr. DeBor 9 disclose to you that?
10 A I am going to back up. And now it's coming 11 a little bit back to me. I wasn't paying a whole lot 12 of attention to this at the time that it happened 13 because I was working on a project when these calls 14 came in. I do now believe there were two calls. I 15 think there was a call from possibly a Mr. DeBor who 16 indicated that he was calling on behalf of Union 17 Carbide and inquiring about these documents and then I 18 think there was a second call from a lawyer, because I 19 asked Mr. DeBor could I speak with the counsel and 20 then I the got a phone call from the counsel. That's 21 the way it happened, I recall it now. Okay. 22 Q I didn't mean to interrupt you. 23 A I recall now that there were two calls; one 24 was from a Mr. DeBor, I believe, and the second call 25 was from a lawyer who identified himself as
' > f
...................
........
25
1 representing Union Carbide in an asbestos litigation 2 in Texas. 3 Q So the first call that you received about 4 these documents was from Mr. DeBor? 5 A That's my recollection. Yes. 6 Q And then you -7 A I know it was a layman; it was not a 8 lawyer. I think his name was DeBor. 9 Q Is it your recollection that following or 10 during the conversation with DeBor, you requested to 11 speak with an attorney? 12 A That's correct. 13 Q Can you tell me -- and then later, did you. * 14 in fact, speak with an attorney representing Union 15 Carbide? 16 A That's correct. 17 Q Can you tell me how much time elapsed 18 between the two conversations? 19 A Not really. I think it was the same day. 20 Probably a couple of hours. 21 Q For purposes of this record, I don't want 22 to confuse the conversations or what statements were 23 made by what party, so I apologize but can we just get 24 your recollection as to exactly what Mr. DeBor said to 25 you and then we can get your recollection of what
------------------------------n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26
1 transpired during the conversation with counsel? 2 A Well, I have told you just about everything 3 I recall. But I believe Mr. DeBor identified himself 4 said he was representing or he was working on asbestos 5 litigation for Union Carbide, and asked about old 6 records. I didn't have a copy of this letter 7 obviously, in front of me at the time, asked me if we 8 had any old records from Union Carbide relating to 9 Hawks Nest and I said, "None that I am aware of." And 10 then as we talked for a few minutes, I said, "Look, 11 why don't you have your counsel call me and let's find 12 out specifically what you are after. And if we can 13 help you, we will. If we can't, well, we can't." 14 Q And then you were contacted by counsel? 15 A Correct. 16 Q And could you, as best you recall, describe 17 the contents of that conversation? 18 A I believe he asked me the same question, 19 "Do you have any of these records? We are starting an 20 asbestos trial, Union Carbide is a defendant, do you 21 have any knowledge of these kinds of records at all?" 22 I said, "I don't have a clue. I wouldn't even know 23 where to begin looking for them." 24 Q And am I correct, Mr. King, that neither 25 Mr. DeBor nor Union Carbide counsel asked you to
27
1 search for them? 2 A I don't believe so. I don't recall them 3 asking me to conduct any kind of search. 4 Q Did Mr. DeBor disclose to you his potential 5 involvement as a witness in the Texas litigation? 6 A No. 7 Q Do you have any knowledge as to whether 8 there was any federal laws which would have required 9 Union Carbide to transfer these documents to Elkem in 10 association with the purchase of the Hawks Nest and 11 Glen Ferris facilities? 12 A Do I know if there were any federal laws 13 that require that? No, I don't. 14 Q Do you know whether there are any federal 15 laws that would require the retention of these 16 records? 17 A No. 18 Q Can we go off the record, please? 19 (Recess taken.) 20 BY MR. DELUCA: 21 Q Mr. King, I do have some more questions for 22 you. I am just looking for some general information 23 because I am having a hard time within my own mind 24 understanding this Hawks Nest plant and Union Carbide 25 and Elkem's interest in it. When Elkem purchased the
rr
28
1 Hawks Nest plant from Union Carbide, do you know
2 whether that was a transaction that was negotiated by
3 Elkem's legal department or whether there was outside
4 counsel involved?
5 A It was outside counsel.
6 Q Do you possess a file on that asset
7 purchase?
8 A Yes. We have -- I am reasonably certain
9 that there are files that were retired that would be 10 out at the mine but we also have a complete set of
11 documents in my office which are bound, all the basic
12 documentation of the transaction was bound. I think
13 there is like nine or ten volumes of that transaction.
14 Q Okay. And would that contain the purchase
15 and sale agreement?
16 A Yes.
17 Q And the deeds, title instruments, things
18 like that?
19 A Yes.
20 Q And I wouldassume thatprior toElkem 21 purchasing that, they conducted some sort of title 22 search to determine the legitimacy of the deed that
23 Union Carbide was prepared to convey?
24 A Correct.
25
Q
Would youhaveinformation relating
to the
29
-- 1 title search in your possession in those volumes of 2 documents that you maintained? 3 A It would be in there, yes. 4 Q Do you know whether the Hawks Nest tunnel 5 was part of the purchase by Elkem of assets owned by 6 Union Carbide? 7 A Yes. 8 Q Does Elkem currently own the Hawks Nest 9 tunnel?
10 A Yes. 11 Q And that was something that they purchased 12 from Union Carbide? 13 A Yes. 14 Q And you have documents relating to that? 15 A Yes. 16 Q And would there be a title search for that, 17 as well? 18 A I assume so. 19 Q Can you tell me what you know.about the 20 Hawks Nest plant and the construction of Hawks Nest 21 tunnel, just generally? 22 MR. HERSHEY: This goes pretty far beyond 23 the subjects covered in the request for documents 24 and Mr. King's search for the documents requested 25 in the subpoena. He was asked to search and look
30
1 for documents in Exhibit A and he has done that 2 and his familiarity with Elkem's affairs began in 3 1985, so he can answer your questions as fully as 4 he is able but his understanding of the facts 5 regarding Elkem and its properties really begins 6 in 1985. 7 MR. DELUCA: Let me see if I can lay a 8 foundation. I am not trying to expand the scope 9 of this. I think it relates to my ability to try 10 to find documents. 11 Q I don't know if there are any other 12 documents that Elkem may have which would be relevant 13 to my cases, but upon your employment with Elkem ^ 14 Metals, in preparation for undertaking your job, did 15 you have the occasion to review historical information 16 about the Hawks Nest plant and the Hawks Nest tunnel? 17 A Before being employed, no. 18 Q From the time that you have been employed 19 by Elkem, have you undertaken any review of documents 20 which would give you some insight into the 21 construction of the plant or the construction of the 22 tunnel? 23 A I would answer it this way. I have learned 24 about the asset, I would call it, the hydro facility 25 simply by virtue of my work with the Federal Energy
------------------------------n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31
1 Regulatory Commission, for example, FERC, that plant 2 and that facility are licensed by FERC, so there is a 3 great deal of information that you have to review and 4 provide when you are relicensing, we relicensed that 5 facility in 1987, so, I know a fair amount about it. 6 Q Let me see if I understand, and if I am 7 incorrect in any regard, please let me know that. 8 I am sure you would. 9 A Okay. 10 Q This plant, Hawks Nest plant, was regulated 11 by the FERC? 12 A Correct. 13 Q And when Elkem purchased this plant from 14 Union Carbide, the transaction had -- the transaction 15 was also regulated by FERC? 16 A Well, it was regulated in the sense that 17 it's a licensed facility, it was a licensed facility 18 by FERC in 1981 and that license had to be transferred 19 from Union Carbide to Elkem. And that was done. And 20 then -- but the licence ran out in 1987, and it was 21 relicensed in 1987 for 30years. 22 Q By Elkem?
23 A By Elkem.
24 Q I apologize for asking this but licensed 25 for what, sir?
32
1 A Well, any hydroelectric facility in the 2 United States that's on a navigable body of water has 3 to be licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory 4 Commission and it's a very cumbersome process, it's a 5 very time consuming process and it involves a whole 6 lot of input from various federal agencies and it goes 7 onto a docket for comment by the public, for comment 8 by interested parties, for protests, for example, by 9 interested parties, and FERC is required to conduct. 10 do an investigation of the need for the project, the 11 continuing need for the project, and to field input 12 by, for example, the Fish and Natural Wildlife Agency, 13 and all other interested parties, and conduct, really, ^ 14 a very, very sophisticated investigation as to the 15 need for the project. 16 If they are satisfied that the project 17 represents the best and highest use for the navigable 18 water, in this case the New River in West Virginia, 19 then they will grant the licence for a hydro project. 20 If they are not convinced, they will turn it down.
.-as 21 Q If I wanted to learn more about the 22 obligations of the license holder, there would be a 23 statute on point that would address that? 24 A Yes. There would be. There is a large 25 body of statutory law and regulations, primarily
-----------------------------n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
33
^ 1 regulations that govern how you license a 2 hydroelectric project. The licence, itself, that's 3 granted by FERC is usually the document that contains 4 all the restrictions on the use of the project. 5 Q Okay. And once a license has been granted, 6 it's generally valid for 30 years? 7 A It depends. Ours went for 30 years. I 8 think the norm right now for FERC is 30 years. 9 Q Are there ongoing inspections or
10 responsibilities under that statute? 11 A Under the licence, itself? 12 Q Under the licence. 13 A Yes. 14 Q May I ask, sir, whether Elkem Metals 15 currently does business with Union Carbide in any way? 16 A That's a good question. It's not Union 17 Carbide anymore it1s now Dow Chemical. Union Carbide 18 was merged with Dow Chemical. 19 Q Yes, sir. 20 A But, I am sure we do. We have done 21 business with Union Carbide over the years buying and 22 selling different materials. I am currently in a 23 project with Union Carbide, a legal project, involving 24 the former Portland, Oregon facility where we share 25 responsibility on an environmental issue. Yes. I
-----------------------------p-r----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
34
1 would have to safely say we do business with them. 2 Q I apologize if I covered any part of this 3 question earlier but you had referenced that you 4 possess files pertaining to Hawks Nest, your own 5 personal files? 6 A Correct. 7 Q What types of documents would be contained 8 within your Hawks Nest file? 9 A Mostly the licensing files with FERC, and 10 the ongoing responsibility or compliance with that 11 license would be in those files. We have had a couple 12 of incidents involving the project. There was a 13 drowning a couple years ago that resulted in a 14 lawsuit. There would be files relating to updating 15 the facility, itself, by you know, spending projects 16 to refurbish turbines and that type of thing, just a 17 whole host of different typical business projects that 18 surround a project like that. 19 Q How long has Elkem been in business, sir? 20 MR. HERSHEY: Which Elkem? 21 Q Well, that's a bad question. 22 A In the U.S. Elkem was in business in a 23 small way prior to 1981. The main business started 24 with the purchase of the metals division from Union 25 Carbide in 1981.
35
1 Q And this is a Norwegian entity, the parent
2 company? 3 A Yes.
4 G The parent company is from Norway?
5 A Correct.
6 Q And they have been in business for a long
7 time? 8 A I think they go back to the early 1900's. 9 MS. ROMANO: I didn't hear that. 10 A I think they go back to the early 1900's.
11 Q Would you happen to know whether Elkem has
12 a company historian or anything like that? 13 A I don't know the answer. But I am certain 14 that there is a lot of history of the company that's 15 recorded.
16 Q Where would it be recorded?
17 A In Norway.
18 Q In Norway. Do you know whether Elkem has
19 put out a brochure, commemorating an anniversary or 20 something like that that would show its corporate 21 history? 22 A I don't know.
23 Q Do you know whether Elkem ever published
24 any materials such as a brochure or anything else, for 25 that matter, specifically with regard to its purchase
36
-- 1 of Hawks Nest from Union Carbide? 2 A I doubt that there is anything specifically 3 related to Hawks Nest. I am not aware of any. 4 Q Finally, sir, I would like to just look at 5 some of the different categories of documents which 6 are described in the attachment to Mr. DeBor's letter 7 of August 17, 1981 which is part of the subpoena which 8 is Deposition Exhibit 1. There are some -- and you 9 have had a chance to review this, so, I think we can
10 go through this quickly. 11 There are some references to licenses. 12 there are some references to land and water rights, 13 there are some references to -- I believe there were ^ 14 some references to deeds. Would those typically be, 15 documents, licenses, deeds, would those be the types 16 of documents that you would retain based upon your 17 records retention policy? 18 MR. HERSHEY: Can you point to any specific 19 item on the list that you are referring to? 20 Q Well, sure. For instance, these documents 21 itemize the 39 cartons referenced in Mr. DeBor's 22 letter and then the last few pages appear to be a more 23 in depth description of documents that were contained 24 in carton 30 and 31. Just looking at the box No. 1, 25 carton No. 1, it says, "Project 2512, West Virginia,
--------------------------------r----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
37
1 Hawks Nest, two folders." Then it says in parens, 2 "(Federal Power Commission License.)" Would a Federal 3 Power Commission license be the sort of document that 4 Elkem would retain? 5 A Yes. 6 Q And there wouldn't be any set time for the 7 disposal of those types of documents like licenses? 8 A I doubt it. 9 Q And then carton 2 says, "Application, 10 licenses, & workpapers" and it gives a range from 1940 11 to 1952. Again, based on your understanding, those 12 were the types of documents that Elkem would want to 13 retain? 14 A Probably, yes. 15 Q And that's your understanding as general 16 counsel? 17 MR. HERSHEY: Your question refers to the 18 licences as opposed to the workpapers and so 19 forth? 20 MR. DELUCA: That1s true. 21 A Probably, yes. Yes. But let me state 22 this, if I can. I would guess, that at least the
23 documents that are described in paragraph No. 1 there
24 are probably in the binders that I am talking about 25 that are in my office.
38
X Q Old licenses and things like that? 2 A Uh-huh. 3 Q That would show the history of - 4 A Well, simply because that license was in 5 existence when the transfer took place in 1981, so 6 obviously, it would be part of the turned over or 7 turned over papers to us. 8 Q And sir, as far as documents like in carton 9 14, blueprints, and I understand that that is somewhat 10 vague but also references to land and water rights and 11 engineering specifications, those would also be 12 documents that would be useful for Elkem to retain 13 being that they purchased this power plant? 14 MR. HERSHEY: Are you asking whether they 15 were retained or whether in the abstract it would 16 be advisable to retain them. 17 MR. DELUCA: I think my question is in the 18 abstract whether it would be advisable. 19 A Well, to the extent that these general 20 descriptions would relate to dimensions of a project, 21 for example, the size of the tunnel, the depth of 22 concrete in the dam, that type of thing, certainly 23 they are the kinds of records that Elkem would need to 24 have in order to know what it had received and whether 25 there were any problems with what it had received in
rr
39
the way of assets. Whether those documents exist 2 separately from this list here, I would expect that 3 information of that type does exist separately from 4 the 39 cartons that are described in this letter. 5 Q Would I be correct, sir, that to the extent 6 there were any laws or regulations which would require 7 Elkem to maintain such documents, that Elkem would in 8 fact, comply with those laws? 9 A Sure. 10 Q Sure. Okay. And finally, sir, may I 11 request from you that you just make a call or check at 12 the plant level at Hawks Nest or the Glen Ferris plant 13 for these documents, as you told me earlier that's 14 something that you didn't do. 15 MR. HERSHEY: And you are talking 16 specifically about the 39 cartons? That's what 17 we were asked to do. 18 MR. DELUCA: Yes, sir, the 39 cartons 19 and/or the contents thereof. 20 MR. HERSHEY: Yes, well, the question is 21 whether Mr. Fawcett might have sent any of the 22 cartons to the plant, as opposed to disposing of 23 them either in his office or later having them 24 disposed of in the mine. We are looking for the 25 39 cartons.

...-- --
40
1 MR. DELUCA: Are you representing your 2 search is ongoing? 3 MR. HERSHEY: No, we have made a search and 4 the only area of search that you have suggested 5 that Mr. King might pursue further is to check 6 with the plants, right? 7 MR. DELUCA: Yes, sir. And also to the 8 extent that any of the documents here may have 9 wound up in those binders, I would request those 10 also. 11 MR. HERSHEY: You want the binders? Well, 12 the binders weren't in the cartons. 13 A The binders that I referred to, they are 14 bound volumes of all the documents that represented 15 the transaction between Elkem and Union Carbide that 16 took place in 1981. 17 MR. HERSHEY: They don't fall within your 18 subpoena. 19 MR. DELUCA: The reason I said that is that 20 he earlier said as to one particular category of 21 documents that "that's something that might be in 22 my binders. '' 23 MR. HERSHEY: That kind of a copy of that 24 document might be in the binders but the binders 25 were not in the 39 cartons which were the
FT
41
1 documents that are the subject of your subpoena. 2 You want the 39 cartons. 3 MR. DELUCA: We can talk about the binders 4 at a later date. I understand that he is here 5 only in response to the subpoena. 6 MR. HERSHEY: I want to make it clear that 7 Mr. King has complied with the subpoena. 8 MR. DELUCA: I don't suggest that he 9 didn't. I am only requesting that as a final 10 step in searching for these documents that he 11 contact the plant level because he indicated he 12 didn't do that. 13 THE WITNESS: Right. I can do that 14 MR. DELUCA: And you will agree to that? 15 MR. HERSHEY: Yes. I just want to make it 16 clear as to what he is supposed to ask when he 17 contacts the plant. And the question he will 18 ask, in order to comply with the subpoena, is 19 whether to the knowledge of anybody at the plant, 20 any of the 39 cartons wound up at the plant and 21 if so, the documents in those cartons will be 22 produced. 23 MR. DELUCA: You know, I think that's fair 24 but I don't want to get bogged down in a matter 25 where due to semantics something isn't done that
42
-- 1 I would have expected to be done. So I am simply2 asking that a search be made by Elkem to 3 determine whether any of the these 39 cartons or 4 the documents thereof might be located at the 5 plant level. Is that fair? 6 MR. HERSHEY: Yes. 7 MR. DELUCA: Off the record. 8 (Discussion off the record.) 9 BY MR. DELUCA:
10 Q Just a few more questions. Mr. King. As 11 general counsel to Elkem Metal, I am sure that one of 12 your responsibilities is to ensure that Elkem complies 13 with any federal or state laws that affect their ^ 14 business? 15 A Hopefully. 16 Q Hopefully. Certainly that would be your 17 goal. And I would just like to turn you to the last 18 several pages of this -- actually, it's the last three 19 pages which purports to be an itemized listing by 20 carton of documents shipped to Elkem by Union Carbide 21 pertaining to Hawks Nest and Glen Ferris and that 22 would be the itemization of carton 30 and 31, the last 23 two pages. And -24 A Okay. 25 Q And my question to you would be, as general
11 1 V f
11
, --. `
43
1 counsel of Elkem Metal, are you aware of any federal 2 or state laws that would require you to keep these 3 specific documents, and I want to go through them 4 category by category, very briefly. 5 A Okay. 6 Q And if there wasn't a federal requirement, 7 then whether you would expect to have those in your 8 files or not. The first one is 3.61, "Incorporation 9 Committee on New Kanawha Power Company. Affair 10 Dissolution - Reorganization of Power Department." 11 Are you aware of any federal or state law which would 12 require Elkem to main those documents? 13 A No, I am not. 14 Q In the absence of such a law, those would 15 be documents that you wouldn't necessarily keep? 16 A No. I don't know what the New Kanawha 17 Power Company was, to be honest with you. 18 Q 3.612, "Financial estimates - 1927 through 19 1937. Yearly and monthly research projects. Retarded 20 construction program. Construction budgets." Am I 21 correct, sir, that you are not aware of any federal or 22 state legal requirement to keep those types of 23 records? 24 A No, I am not. 25 Q And accordingly, you wouldn't necessarily
-----------------
1 f-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
44
1 expect to have those in your files? 2 A That's right. 3 Q 3.6120, "Invoices and Requisitions," to the 4 extent that that identifies anything, you would be 5 unaware of federal or state law on point that would 6 require you to keep those? 7 A That's correct. 8 Q And again, it would appear looking at the 9 top of this page that anything in the 3.6 range would 10 pertain to the New Kanawha Power Company now Electro 11 Metallurgical Company? 12 A That's correct. 13 Q As to 3.6121, "Payroll - Expense Accounts 14 Employment Personnel, 3.61210, Work Orders," again, 15 you would be aware of no federal or state law which 16 would require you to maintain those documents? 17 A No. 18 Q 3.62, "Applicationsfor Positions. 19 Positions in other Companies, 3.63, Weekly Reports 20 Construction, etc. See Book, 3.64, Plant Balance 21 Sheet and Summary of Charges to Operation, 22 Miscellaneous Financial. Cost of West Virginia 23 plant. Accounting instructions. Property 24 accounting." Again, sir, you would be unaware of any 25 federal or state law which would require you to
45
- 1 maintain those documents? 2 A I don't know of any such law, no 3 Q In the absence of any such law, you would 4 not expect to find these in your files? 5 A That1s correct. 6 Q 3.69, "General - Medical Services 7 Sanitation. For housing see 3.90," 3.690, "Insurance 8 - Surety Bonds, etc." Sir, are you aware of any 9 federal or state law which would require you to
10 maintain these documents? 11 A No. 12 Q 3.691, "Rates - Public Service Commission 13 Typical Rates in West Virginia - Sales of Power - Sale 14 of Boomer Electric to Appalachian E.P. Company. (See 15 also 3.702, 1930-34." Again, sir, you would be 16 unaware of any federal or state law which would 17 require you to maintain these documents? 18 A I don't know of any. 19 MR. HERSHEY: Can I ask whether in this 20 matter, it's the position of the plaintiff or any 21 party that Elkem had an obligation to retain any 22 category of document here? And then we can focus 23 on that and see whether those documents have been 24 retained. 25 MR. DELUCA: I can't address that question
11 > r ""

46
1 at this time, Mr. Hershey, but just to let you 2 know, I am just going to go through the rest of 3 these documents and as we get a little bit 4 further on here, that's where my major interest 5 lies, and then I will be finished. I am not 6 suggesting anything at this point. I am just 7 trying to - 8 MR. HERSHEY: So it's not your position 9 that there is a federal law that requires the 10 retention of these documents? 11 MR. DELUCA: I don't have a position on 12 that matter. I don't have a statute to hand you 13 right now, either. 14 MR. HERSHEY: Well, your questions have 15 that premise and - 16 MR. DELUCA: I would tell you that, and I 17 don't have the pages to give you for now, but 18 it's my understanding that it was suggested by 19 Union Carbide that such a statute existed. And 20 that's all I can say at this time on the matter. 21 I am not suggesting that that's true or false at 22 this point. I am just trying to discover what 23 the facts may or may not be. 24 BY MR. DELUCA: 25 Q Picking right up where we left off.

Thank you. 7 MS. ROMANO: To the extent that any 8 documents are produced by Elkem entities or any 9 other source we assert an attorney-client 10 privilege on behalf of Union Carbide as 11 applicable to the documents. 12 MR. DELUCA: I will respond to that 13 objection or claim of privilege at the time any 14 such documents are produced. And I would just 15 simply state that if these documents were truly 16 privileged you wouldn't have been giving them to 17 other folks. 18 MS. ROMANO: And secondly -19 MR.

Re: Union Carbide Hawks Nest Documents
Dear Mr. King:
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me yesterday about the Union Carbide Hawks Nest documents. I have reviewed this matter with my clients and they have instructed me to issue the Subpoena we discussed. Enclosed is a Subpoena, Notice of Deposition Duces Tecum, and statutory witness fee.
You indicated yesterday that you would be filing a Motion to Quash. Although I oppose such a Motion and do not believe there is a basis for one, I want to advise you that the Judge presiding over these cases is Judge Robert P. Horgos, 816 City County Building, Pittsburgh, PA 15219. Judge Horgos hears all asbestos cases in Allegheny County and hears all pre-trial motions associated with asbestos cases.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours.

Section IX - Administration
Subsection 2. Record Retention
Policy
Prepared by: Legal
Approved by: /0 . ^ Doc. No.: 2.1 A. C. LaRussa/fLA- Rev. No.: 0
Duplicate and Electronic Copies
This policy applies to all copies of Company records, including photocopies, microfiche or microfilm, computer floppy or hard discs, and tape drives or other electronic media, whether located in individual offices or employees' homes. No physical or electronic copies shall be retained in excess of the prescribed retention period.
Personal Records
Employees frequently maintain various forms of personal records, such as electronic or desk calendars, phone lists and the like. No specific retention schedules are established for such records, but a good rule of thumb is to destroy these records after a two-year retention period. As noted above, however, all copies of records subject to the attached retention Schedules are themselves subject to the Schedules, whether maintained in formal Company files, "personal" desk files, or otherwise.
Administrative Procedures
Each operating unit shall, under the direction of its controller, develop and implement written procedures to comply with this policy. Such procedures shall ensure the identifiability and retrievability of records and shall properly protect their security and confidentiality. Procedures shall provide for periodic audits as appropriate to ensure compliance with this policy.
