P3i Q: Do you have any questions at the outset [i] the deposition about the groundrules that will be p] governing us today? pi A: No. ' [4] Q: Would you please state your educational Pl background, beginning with when you completed -- [] when you matriculated from high school? m A: When I matriculated from high school, I [8] attended university at Cambridge University in pi England, where I completed an honors degree in [io] chemistry and part two of the law degree at [in Cambridge, graduating with a degree under English [12] designation as a BA in chemistry and law. : __ [i3] Q: What type -- [i4i A: Let me correct that. They classify it as a [i3] BA in natural sciences and law. ui Q: You said that you were an honors student in [i7j chemistry, is that correct? [is] A: Yes. - [i9i Q: What chemistry courses did you take when you poi were at the university at Cambridge? pi] A: Organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, [22] physical chemistry, analytical chemistry. The other P3] science courses were not so much strictly chemical [24] courses, they were physics, quantum mechanics, [231 mathematics, geology, mineralogy. Page 9 [i]Q: And did the various chemistry courses that pi you just listed include laboratory time? [3] A: Yes. w Q: What sort of laboratory experience did you [3] have in chemistry? [<i A: Very basic physical chemistry, some basic pi analytical chemistry, some inorganic TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY synthesis and [8] inorganic product designation type of work. Some [9] organic synthesis. This was an undergraduate [io] chemistry degree even at the honors level, so, I [in mean, that was the basic type of laboratory work [12] supporting the theoretical courses that I was [13] taking. [i4] Q: When you graduated from the university, what psi did you do next? [i6] A: I joined Monsanto Chemicals in their [\t\ European organization headquartered in London. [is] Q: And how is it that you chose to begin [19] working for Monsanto Chemicals? [20] A: I wanted to work within the chemical pi] industry, and I interviewed with a number of pq British, European and American chemical companies. p3] I was offered positions by several of them. [241 Monsanto at that particular point was growing its ps] European business, and offered me a position that Page 10 [i] would involve me in that European growth, and I [2] chose to join them, pi Q: What was the size of Monsanto Chemicals in tq London at the time that you began working there? [si MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. When [6] you say size, you mean number of employees, m physical -- is] MR. DUFF: Let me clarify. How many [9] employees worked in Monsanto Chemicals when you po] began working there? pi] A: I don't know. [12] Q: Was it more or less than a hundred? [13] A: It was more than a hundred. It was [141 probably, totally in Europe at that time, less than [13] a thousand. [i6] Q: And just so we're clear, what year did you p7] graduate from the university? ps] A: 1960. (191Q: Did you begin working for Monsanto in the poj same year? pi] A: I began working as an entrant late in 1960, [22] took my first formal position as a technical sales [23] assistant in the spring of 1961. [241Q: As an entrant in late 1960, were you based ps] in London? ;Page 11 [i] A: Yes. pi Q: And did you receive training during that pi time period that you were an entrant? [4] A: Essentially, that was a period of [3] orientation when they were telling me something [6] about what Monsanto was, what Monsanto did, what pi type of functions made Monsanto work in Europe, how g] they saw Europe developing, introducing me to my [9] peers and my superiors at that time. Say, poi generally, giving me an orientation to what my role pi] might become within Monsanto, pa Q: Was it limited to what your role was to be [i3] as a sales person or did it go beyond that? P4] A: At that point it was focused very much on P3] how they saw the sales role developing. Page 7 - Page 11 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024778 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY [i6i Q: Did you receive orientation regarding the [i7i products that Monsanto sold at that time? [i8i A: In a very general fashion. Obviously, when [19] I was assigned a product as I became an assistant [201 technical salesman, then I was given much more pn specific training related to the product area that I [221 was to handle, mi Q: Were you given training in -- with respect [241 to functional fluids at that time? 125] A: We're talking at the time that I was an Page 12 in entrant? 121Q: Yes. pi A: Very little. [4j Q: What type of products did you receive [5i orientation regarding? (6) A: Monsanto was in the plastics business at [7] that time, we were in the fibers businesses, we were [g] involved in certain of the stearinic derivatives, pi We were involved in' fine chemicals and generic 1101 pharmaceuticals like aspirin. And there were a [111 range of specialty type chemicals such as the (121 Skydraul aviation fluids, the Aroclor fluids, the (i3] ethyl silicate binder fluids. Monsanto at that (i4) stage, I say, was beginning to introduce into Europe im some specific products which it had generated [i6] markets for in the United States and was planning to (i7i try to evolve those markets in Europe, and so they tisi gave me a very broad general description of products [191 within which Monsanto was active. [2Di Q: Did you receive orientation with respect to pi] Pydraul fluids? [221 A: No. [23] Q: Do you know if Monsanto sold Pydraul fluids [24] in Europe at that time? 125) A: At that time, I don't really recall. Page 13 (U Q: Your sales training period lasted pi approximately how long? ;_ pi A: We haven't -- can I try to ask you to w clarify the distinction you're making between my (5) entry level orientation and sales training? I think (6i I referenced that when I became assigned as an pi assistant technical salesman, I then received more [8] specific sales training. (9|Q: I understand. I'm talking about the period [ioi where you classified yourself as an entrant. How [in long was that period? [121 A: Well, I joined them, I think it was [131 September or October of 1960, and I was assigned to [i4i a product and a territory in the spring of 1961, so jisi at that stage I became more focused. I was still [i6i receiving ongoing sales training. [i7] Q: When you became a technical sales assistant, ns] what sort of training did you receive? (i9i A: Product training for the products that I was [20] assigned to sell. And some selling training related pu to how you approached potential customers and how [221 you managed the job of selling in a territory. Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 [23i Q: What products did you receive product [24i training for? [25i A: At that particular point in time, in the Page 14 [lispring of 1961,1 was assigned to sell ethyl pi silicate products, organic silicates, and I received pi product training in those products. [4j Q: What application are ethyl silicates used [5] in? [6] A: The major application, by far, is the lost Pi wax casting process, which is a technology and pi process for producing very precise shaped castings pi in high alloy steels for subjects such as the blades [ioi in turbine engines. (uiQ: And as a technical sales assistant, did you [i?i then move into other product areas after the ~ [i3i after the time that you were selling ethyl [i4i silicates? (i5i A: Later, yes. (16) Q: What products did you begin selling and [17] when? [is] A: Sometime between 1961 and 1965 my product [i9] line was extended to include dielectric fluids. [20] Q: What are dielectric fluids? pu A: Dielectric fluids are liquid insulants which pzi have a capability of enhancing the performance of 1231 specific commercial electrical equipment such as p4] capacitors and transformers. Monsanto sold a [25] capacitor dielectric called Aroclor, A-r-o-c-l-o-r, Page 15 in and it delivered to the marketplace a transformer pi coolant dielectric which in Europe we called pi Pyroclor, P-y-r-o-c-l-o-r. (4) Q: What were the ingredients in Aroclor at that [5] time? [6i A: Aroclor was sold in a number of product pi forms, mainly distinguished by the difference in the [gj viscosity of the various fluids and their dielectric pi constants. But they were -- the Aroclor fluids [ioi were essentially based on biphenyl, chlorinated to (in various levels. [121Q: And did Pyroclor also contain chlorinated (i3i biphenyls? [i4] A: It did. But the transformer fluid was a (i5i blend of chlorinated biphenyl with other components. [i6] Q: Was Aroclor pure chlorinated biphenyl? [i7i A: I'm going to have to ask you to clarify that [i8i question in terms of how do you use the word pure in [i9] this context? [2oi Q: Was there anything else in Aroclor other pu than chlorinated biphenyls? pzi A: No. It was a mixture of isomers of p3] biphenyl, chlorinated to different chlorination P4] degrees. [25] Q: So the difference between different types of Page 16 (U Aroclor depended on the type of mixture of isomers, pi is that correct? pi A: Yes. Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 11 - Page 16 WATER PCB-SD0000024779 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 [4] Q: And the level of or degree of chlorination, ra is that right? (<|A: Yes. in Q: And as a result, also, the differences in ll viscosity were apparent, is that right? Pi A: They were an outcome of the degree of [io] chlorination. nil Q: A characteristic -- they had different [izi characteristics, depending on the level of [13] chlorination, is that right? li4] A: Yes, that's correct. [is] Q: Pyroclor was a blend that included PCBs, is [iq that right? [17] A: Pyroclor was a blend which contained Aroclor psi -- I mean, at that time the term PCB that you just [i9] used was not really a current -- in current usage. poj The designation of Aroclor as being a PCB came later pi] in time. We always defined Pyroclor as a blend of [22] Aroclor with other components. ` 123] Q: Monsanto at that time referred to its m polychlorinated fluids and other products as [25] Aroclors, is that right? Page 17................................................................ in A: Or Pyroclor. If we were talking about [2] something that was a chlorinated biphenyl, then we pi used the term Aroclor at Monsanto. In that we sold m Pyroclor, which was a blend of Aroclor with other [5] constituents, I mean, if somebody said what is [6] Pyroclor, we would say it is a blend of Aroclor with pi trichlorobenzene, tritetrachlorobenzene and other pi additives. Pi Q: Do you recall what the other additives were [icq that went into Pyroclor? [U] A: Yes. They were additives which were [12] referred to as scavengers. And they were tin [13] compounds or a resin designated as PPO. They were [i4] added in very small percentages with the role of psi collecting and holding any small amounts of hydrogen ue\ chloride which. , were generated within the Pyroclor. [i7] Q: When you say a small percentage, do you mean [is] less than one percent? [i9] A: In the case of the tin compound, I seem to [20] recall that it was about that one percent type of pu level. I think the level for the PPO was -- if [22] that was used instead of the tin compound, that that [231 was somewhat lower. p4] Q: Were the different types of Pyroclor defined ps] by whether or not they had the scavenger as opposed Page 18 [il to the tin compound as opposed to the PPO? Pi A: For the main part, in Europe, we sold Pi straight forward Pyroclor without any w recategorization or amplification, and that was the [5] product that contained the tin compound. If we were [6] supplying material to a Westinghouse subsidiary in pi Europe, and the PPO scavenger was a Westinghouse p] development, then we would refer to that as Pyroclor pi PPO. But the product which was the general [icq transformer coolant was just TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY designated as Pyroclor. _ [it] Q: Other than Aroclor and Pyroclor, were there [12] any other dielectric fluids that you sold { at that [i3] time? And I'm talking in the period in the early [i4i '60s. [is] A: There was some highly specialized aviation p6] related dielectric coolants which were silicate [17] related, but they were very different nature of [is] business and very different function. [19] Q: Did they contain any chlorinated biphenyls? [20] A: No. [21] Q: Is that because they were silicate related? [22] A: Yes. They were different chemistry. [23] Q: Who were your customers when you sold [24] dielectric fluids from the time you began working ps] for Monsanto through 1965? Page 19 [i] A: In England there were essentially a small pi number of major capacitor manufacturers such as pj BICC, that's B boy, I indian, C Charlie, C Charlie, [4] British Industrial Calendar Cables. They were the [5] ............. largest capacitor manufacturer in England, and were [q our largest customer in Great Britain - for Aroclor. pi There were a number of smaller companies involved p] with making large ' power capacitors. There were a pi number of companies that were specializing in small [101 " fluorescent lighting capacitors. In transformers, [11] there were a number of the large electrical (121 manufacturers such as British GE, GE Company of p?i Great Britain, English Electric, Brush Electric, all [i4] of whom manufactured distribution transformers, and [i5] they formed the customer base. In Europe, our [16] customers tended to be the major electrical [17] equipment producers in the various European ps] countries. I refer, therefore, to companies like [19] Sieman's in Germany, Asea in Sweden. Asea is m A-s-e-a. pi] Q: What percentage of your -- strike that. [22] How long did you stay in the position of an [23] assistant technical salesman? [24] A: Somewhere between 1961 and 1965,1 guess we [25] -- somehow we knocked the assistant off and I ^ Page 20 pi gained my first stripe and became a fully fledged m technical salesman. I can't remember exactly what pi date that happened. v [4]Q: Would you please mark this as the next [si exhibit in number order, m (Discussion off - the record), pi ( Plaintiffs Exhibit 273 p] marked for identification). - P] MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, I'm handing you what's [i(qbeen marked as Plaintiff s Exhibit Number 273. And pi] I have a copy for counsel. P2i MR. CHAMBERS: Thank you. " P3] MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, do you recognize this p4] document? '; ps] A: Yes, I've seen it before. ^ [16) Q: Can you please identify this document Page 16 - Page 20 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314)241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024780 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY for [i7i the record? [18] A: This is a curriculum vitae of my life and [19] career with Monsanto up until May 1st of 1982. It [mi doesn't include the later parts of my career with pi] Monsanto. [22] Q: And do the items listed under professional [23] activities accurately state the various positions [24] that you held in Monsanto from the time you began [25] until you -- until 1982? Page 21 in A: No, not entirely. Because I note it doesn't pjreflect the move from assistant technical salesman, pi which I assumed that responsibility in May the 1st wof 1961, but I said gained my first stripe and pi became a technical salesman sometime between 1961 [eg and 1965. C7] Q: And, also, this does not reflect the time pi when you were an entrant at Monsanto, is that [9] also -- [io] A: That's also correct. [illQ: Other than those two discrepancies, -- [12] A: And the fact that I mentioned that it only [13] goes as far as May 1st, 1982. It seems to be [14] accurate. [is] Q: So you were a salesman-- you were either [i<s] an assistant technical salesman or a technical [i7j salesman from May of 1961 to June of 1966, is that [is] correct? [19] A: Yes. [20] Q: And during that time period, what reporting pu responsibilities did you have to anyone at St. p2] Louis? Let me step back a moment. Was Monsanto [23] headquartered in St. Louis? [24] A: At that point Monsanto and the businesses p5] with which I was involved was headquartered in St. __________________________ Page 22 m Louis. pi Q: And during that time period from 1961 to pi 1966 what reporting responsibilities did you have to w anyone in St. Louis? [5] A: In the early part of that period, none. My [6| reporting relationship was to my superiors in the pj European organization headquartered in the same pi office in London in which I was based. pi Q: Who were those individuals that you reported ncq to at that time in London? [it] A: When I was first appointed as an assistant [i2] technical salesman, I was reporting to a senior [i3] technical salesman called Dennis Hope, and later (i4j when I assumed additional responsibilities involving [15] dielectric fluids I was reporting to a Dr. John [lq Campbell. But both of these individuals were part [13 of the European staff and based in London. [is] Q: And you mentioned a moment ago that later [13 during that period your reporting responsibilities poi changed, is that right? pi] A: During this particular period through 1966, (2q and even beyond that, I had no direct Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 reporting [23] responsibility to Monsanto in St. Louis. Since we [24] were selling products which were themselves managed psj from St. Louis, there was not a formal reporting Page 23 in relationship, but there would be contacting, talking [3 about the business, escorting American visitors from p] the business groups as they made European trips to [4] update us on product information, to allow them to [5] meet the European customers and to exchange ideas [61 about what was going on in that particular industry n in America and in Europe so that we could optimize pi our market presence in America in expanding our [3 European presence. But to precisely get back to [io] your question, no, I had no direct reporting [ii] relationship to St. Louis. [12] Q: From 1961 to 1966, is that right? [13] A: That's correct, yes. [14] Q: After you reported to Dr. John Campbell, who [is] did you report to next? [il A: When I moved to Belgium in 1966 I was [i7] reporting, still, to Dr. John Campbell, but through [18] Dr. John Campbell to a Mr. Donald Cameron, [i9] C-a-m-e-r-o-n. [2o]Q: What was Mr. Cameron's position at that pi] time? [22] A: He was the manager for functional fluids, I [23] believe we were calling the business at that time. [24] Q: Prior to your move to Belgium, did Mr. [25] Campbell report to anybody in the functional fluids Page 24 [i] business? - (3 A: He was reporting to Don Cameron. pjQ: And then after your move, were you -- how [4] did your reporting - [5] A: The reporting relationships didn't change m with the move. Just to make sure that we're on the m same page on this one, Monsanto decided to move its p] European headquarters as Britain was entering the m common market, from London to Brussels so that we [io] had a more central European presence. And so a lot [ii] of the staff that had been headquartered in London [13 upped and moved to Brussels. So it didn't really [13] change the role -- reporting roles within the [uj business, it purely changed the location of where we [is] had our central European office. [il Q: Does this CV accurately reflect that when [13 you moved to Brussels your position also changed in (i8i that you became a sales supervisor at that time? [i9i A: Yes. Because as I left England and moved to [20] Brussels, we needed to appoint somebody who was pi] resident in England to act as the day-to-day contact [23 with our important British list of customers for [23] dielectric fluids, and they needed to be supervised [24] and mentored in that role, and so I took on an psi additional supervisor capacity. I Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 20 - Page 24 WATER PCB-SD0000024781 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 moved one stage up Page 25 Ml the totem pole at that point. [2] Q: At sales supervisor did you still report to pi Dr. John Campbell or did you then report to Donald [4] Cameron? ra A: At that stage I believe I was still m reporting to John Campbell. Pi Q: What responsibilities did you take on that [8] you had not had previously when you became sales ro supervisor? [icq A: The major change in role was that I had [i i| subordinates to supervise for the first time. [I2|Q: I'm sony, I didn't hear the last thing you [i3[ said. [mi A: I had subordinates to supervise for the (is] first time in my career. As opposed to being an nq individual salesman, I now had a salesman reporting im to me. . [i8i Q: How many salesmen did you have ' reporting to [i9] you at that time? [20] A: Initially, it was one, the one that we had pi] in England. Later, we added additional sales people [Mi for other countries in Europe. [23] Q: Who was the first individual in England? [24] A: Peter Marsh, M-a-r-s-h. [23] Q: And did Monsanto expand into markets in Page 26 [i] other countries during the period that you were pj sales supervisor? [3] A: Again, I'm going to have to ask you to [4iclarify how you're using the word expand in this [5] context. [6] Q: A moment ago you noted that you initially m had one subordinate that reported to you and then [8] thereafter you had other subordinates from other m countries, I believe, is that correct? [10] A: Let me try to place that into contextV As [11] Monsanto moved from London to Brussels, [i2i simultaneously with that move we were also changing [i3] from our previous ' configuration, which was selling [i4i through agencies in many countries, to gradually [15] establishing a direct Monsanto presence in some [i6] countries. And that happened not immediately across [i7j Europe, but over time we gradually developed a [is] number of independent Monsanto sales offices as [i9] opposed to working through outside independent [20] agents. And so there was a need as we went through cu that progression, which was establishing a stronger m Monsanto presence in total Europe, of having [23] salesmen who were Monsanto employees who would be [24] carrying out a role of selling themselves in some [23] countries and acting as a liaison with the agencies _Page 27 [i] in other countries until the agencies were pi discontinued and we added additional salesmen. So pi this was a progressive expansion of Monsanto's [4] direct presence in TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY Europe. Does that clarify what [5] you were looking for? [6]Q: Yes, I think so. p] A: Good. [8j Q: As a sales supervisor for dielectric fluids p] in 1966, was one of your responsibilities to [io] correspond with agents in other European countries? [u] A: Yes. [i2] Q: And what countries did you have agents in [i3] who you corresponded with in 1966? [i4] A: The list is very long. [i3i Q: Would it be easier to say were there any [16] countries in Europe that you did not -- in which [17] Monsanto did not enjoy a presence? [is] A: No. In fact, that wouldn't be any easier. [i?j I mean, we obviously had agencies in the major [20] economic centers in Europe; France, Germany, pi] Benelux, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark. Our [221 contact with eastern Europe was a direct presence of [23] Monsanto salesmen working with the state purchasing [24j agencies in those countries. Agencies that were of psi a different nature, . they were not our commercial .Page 2ft [i] agents, they were the procurement agents of the [21 state. North Africa was handled through agencies pj based in one country, but who would handle a number m of the North African countries. So here you have an [3] entity that is growing and expanding and the tq structure was changing year by year. So those m European countries where we had agencies, part of my isi sales supervision role at that point in time was, in pi part, giving them support in their country. [io] Q: In 1966 did -- at the end of 1966 did your [ii] position within Monsanto change? [i2i A: Yes, it did. Because recognizing the nature [is] of the support I was giving to not only the internal [i4] sales force, but to the agency structure as that was [13] evolving, we recognized that my role was becoming uq one more of product management than purely sales [17] management, and so the role was changed -- the ns] title was changed and the role was modestly changed [i9i to that of product supervisor for dielectric tm fluids. Whereas I had been sales supervisor, I was pi] assigned to be product supervisor. [22] Q: What additional responsibilities did you (23i have when you became a product supervisor? [24] A: As product supervisor there, the type of [23] responsibilities which became additional were those Page 29 in of saying if we had received notification from the pi United States of a particular application for the pi range of fluids which I was involved, and they had m produced some technical literature around that [3] application, then I would have a responsibility for [q .... Page 25 - Page 29 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024782 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY making sure that that technical literature was rn modified so that it was usable within our European m client base. So there was a . literature, there was a pi greater responsibility for coordination of sales [io] forecasts with manufacturing to make sure that we nij had appropriate production scheduling and inventory [12] of products. So the type of things which become [i3j slightly less focused on the customer and making [iq sure that the product is being centrally managed in [is] an effective and efficient way, were the changes in [iq emphasis. It wasn't that I hadn't had any (m involvement with any of these previously, but they nsi became a more focused accountability. (in Q: With respect to the responsibilities you [20] undertook regarding technical literature, was it pi] your responsibility to ensure that adequate and (221 accurate information about the products you were (23] selling was given to your customers? [24] A: Yes. [25] Q: And at that time was it important that your _____________ Page 30 [i] customers understand such things as toxicity and ta safe handling of products? Pi A: Veiy much. (A Q: And why was that important? [5] A: Even at that stage, I think Monsanto was [] being recognized around the world as being a pi corporation that took very seriously its [8] responsibilities in terms of the safe handling of [9] chemicals that it was delivering to the user no] market. And, therefore, yes, it was an important [in feature of our selling to a customer that we could [12a tell him about the appropriate^ handling of those [13] fluids within his process. (i4] Q: Was it important at that time for Monsanto [is] to convey to its custodiers all information relating [iq to toxicity that Monsanto believed to be valid? (i7] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [is] A: If we've got an objection here, I mean -- nsi MR. CHAMBERS: If you're able to respond to 1201 his question, you may do so. (21] MR. DUFF: You may answer. m MR. CHAMBERS: Would you like to have the p3] question -- (24i A: I'd like it repeated. [25] MR. DUFF: Would you please read the ;____________________ Page 31 in question back to the witness. [2] (The requested portion of the pi record read by the reporter). [4 A: I'm going to ask you to clarify the form of [5] the question in terms of how you're using "valid" (q and "all". There were two words you used there (?) which I'm having a little bit of difficulty in (sj knowing how to be responsive. [9] Q: One was -- (ioq A: You used "all" and you used "valid". Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 mi Q: Let me see if I can rephrase the question [12] for you. Do you agree that at that point in time it [13] was important for Monsanto to convey to its [i4] customers information relating to toxicity that [iq Monsanto's medical department had determined was [iq scientifically valid? [i7] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form, again, [is] But if you're able to answer -- [iq A: I can answer that. It was important that [20] Monsanto convey to its customers information that (21] would enable them to gain the benefits of the (223 application of our chemicals in a manner which ~ (23) that they would not incur harm in their use of the [24] product. [25] Q: And by the phrase incur harm, what do you Page 32 [i] mean? (2i A: I think I can best answer that by the pi example that in the case of capacitor manufacturing [q technology, you would impregnate the capacitor [5] winding in -- with Aroclor at elevated temperatures [q and we didn't want people being exposed to Aroclor rn vapors at elevated temperatures, and so we would [sj include in our literature and in our discussions pi with their manufacturing supervision at the time we [io] made visits to their plants suggestions of how they [in might ventilate their work areas to ensure that [12] there was no contact with the vapors of Aroclor at [131 elevated temperatures. So, that is the nature of [i4] the type of thing where I -- I'm trying to [15] exemplify what I'm saying about not incurring harm. (iq Q: So in your example, are you saying that you [i7] agree that at that time it was important for [is] Monsanto to convey to its customers information [i9] relating to inhalation of Aroclor vapor that (20] Monsanto's medical department had determined was (21] scientifically valid? (223 A: Monsanto had worked with various industrial (23] hygiene institutions and authorities, and there were pq sort of suggested workplace standards for [25] concentrations of vapor that should not be exceeded Page 33 mover an eight hour working day, and, yes, we felt it rn important that people should understand that those [3] levels had been set, not with precision, but that (q they had been set as seemingly providing safety m guidelines and good work practice and good [q industrial hygiene, and the people, therefore, could m accomodate their work practices to sustain those (8] safe working standards, rn Q: So that's what you meant when you said that iioiyou -- that it was important for Monsanto to help units customers use products in a way which would (123 avoid harm? [13] A: Yes, that's correct. [iq Q: You also stated that one of your [15] Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

[isi A: Yes, I did. [i9] Q: Were there any other responsibilities that [20] you undertook when you became product supervisor for pi] dielectric fluids in 1966? [22j A: As I tried to portray earlier, it was really P3] an extension and a slight change of focus rather p4] than it being undertaken abaniscio. But there are [25] many facets, and to try to delineate every one of Page 34 [i] them in what goes into the day to day function of pi sales management and product management, I find it a pi little bit difficult to give you a complete shopping w list of them. Obviously, as I say, managing [5] inventories, managing production schedules, [6] literature support, advertising support, talking to pj agencies about the architectural benefits of the PI customers' applications, preparing case histories, pi There are many features of the...-- job, and I'm not sure no] how helpful this is being to you. [ii] Q: Well, is it fair to say that you were [izi responsible at this time for all facets of [13] dielectric product sales and product supervision [14] that Monsanto was engaged in in Europe at that time? [15] A: Yes. [iq Q: When you became product supervisor, did you [i7i still report to John Campbell? [is] A: I think at that stage -- it was at that [i9] point or very shortly thereafter that I was poi reporting to Don Cameron directly, pi] Q: When exactly did you become product pn supervisor? [23] A: I'd have to go back to my --" [24]Q: If that helps, that's -- feel free to refer [25] to that. Page 35 [i] A: I feel that that was accurately stated here, pg so, I mean, it would have to have been late in pi 1966. And this states November, and I have no [4] reason to believe that the personnel record does not [5] accurately reflect that that was the date they put a [] notice on the board. Pi Q: Did you prepare Exhibit 273? Pi A: No. I reviewed it. It was prepared by the [9] personnel group. [ioj Q: At Monsanto? Hi] A: Yes. Or it was a joint effort. I mean, we [i2] went back through the records to get the appropriate p3] dates. There was at no point that I have sat down (i4j and with accuracy have said it was May the 1st that (isj that announcement was made and it was -- so -- (iq Q: Do you have any reason to believe (hat you [i7] did not become product supervisor for dielectric [is] fluids in Europe on November 1, 1966? [i9] A: No, I believe that's when it happened. TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY [20] Q: And at this time after you had become _ pi] product supervisor, was one of your responsibilities p2j still corresponding with x Monsanto's agents in other [23] European countries? [24] A: Yes. .. [25] Q: Who was Monsanto's agent at that time in Page 36 [1] Sweden? [2] A: A company called Rising and Strand, pj R-i-s-i-n-g and Strand, S-t-r-a-n-d. w Q: Was there one individual or more than one [5] individual from Rising and Strand with whom you [$i corresponded when you were in the position of pi product supervisor? [8] A: Depending on the particular communication, I pi could have been writing to one or two people. Most noi of the correspondence involving dielectrics would [uj have been sent to Ola Palm. O-l-a, Palm, P-a-l-m. [12] Q: When you were product supervisor, were you [13] responsible for any Monsanto " .`........... -- products that contained [i4j chlorinated biphenyls other than dielectric fluids? ' [is] A: No. [il Q: Were you responsible for any products ^' other [i7] than dielectric fluids? [is] A: At that point, no. I was the king of [i9] " dielectric fluids at that point. [20] Q: For Monsanto in Europe? pu A: For Monsanto in Europe. Let's be quite [22] clear, I mean, I was only a small king of a minor p3] European kingdom. [24] Q: Who was Ola Palm? [25i A: Ola Palm was a long term general sales ;Page 37 [i] representative for the agency that we had in Sweden, pi Rising and Strand. I gave you a spelling. [3] Q: How long had you corresponded with ` Mr. Palm m in 1966? Let me rephrase that. [5] A: Yes. [i Q: When did you -- prior to 1966, had ' you and pi Mr. Palm corresponded before? _ [8] A: Yes. [9| Q: When did you first begin corresponding with [ioj Mr. Palm? [ii] A: Sometime in the period between 1963 . and [i2] '65. When I began handling dielectric fluids in p3] England initially, I learned -. something of the [i4] business in the English marketplace, and then ps] sometime in that period between '63 and '65, before pil moved to Belgium, I was handling European p7i - marketplaces for dielectric fluids from England, and psi so sometime in that period I would have begun a p9] communication and a relationship with Ola Palm. But pm I can't " place it with any more accuracy than that. pi] Q: How frequently did you correspond with Mr. p2] Palm during that time period from the time you began p3] corresponding with him Page33-Page37 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314)241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024784 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY to 1966? [24] A: Depending on what was going on in the [25] Swedish marketplace with dielectric fluids, I might ^__________________________ Page 38 [i]have occasion to write to him, say, in one quarter [2] three times, and then I might not write to him again pj for three more quarters. So, there was no routine [4] frequency. But there were a small number of [5] significant users of chlorinated biphenyls in the (q Swedish marketplace, which was a very competitive pi marketplace between ourselves and the major European pi manufacturers of chlorinated biphenyls. Unlike the pj United States where Monsanto was the -- for many [io] years, the sole producer of chlorinated biphenyls, [ii] there were a much larger number of producers of [121 chlorinated biphenyls equivalent to Monsanto's in [13] Europe. [14] Q: Is it fair to say that you corresponded with [is] Mr. Palm several times a year? [i6| A: I think that would typify it. Not on a i\i\ regular basis, but it would be several -- it would [is] probably be more than one and it would probably be pq less than ten. [20] Q: But sometimes it might have been once a [2ij month for a few months in a row? [22] As Yes. [23] Q: And when you corresponded with Mr. Palm, did pqyou write to him or did you speak with him? [25] A: Both. Page 39 in Q: And did you meet with Mr. Palm personally at [21 times? pi A: Yes, I did. [4] Q: How many times a year would you travel to [5] Sweden to meet with Mr. Palm? [i A: I didn't visit Sweden' to visit with Mr. pj Palm. I -- ^ [8] Q: Let me rephrase the question for you. How [9] many times did you meet with Mr. Palm in Sweden? [101 A: At least once a year. If commercial [11] considerations demanded, more than that. [i2] Q: And during this competitive period did you [i3] meet with him in Sweden more frequently than once a [14] year? [15] A: The whole of that period was competitive, [iq Europe was a very competitive marketplace for [17] chlorinated biphenyls. The French were particularly [is] aggressive at that particular point commercially. [i9]The Germans felt that mainland continental Europe poi was theirs and Monsanto shouldn't be trying to gain [21] a toehold in Europe. So, it was a very competitive [221 period in chlorinated biphenyls in Europe. [23] Q: Did Mr. Palm ever meet with you in London or [24] in Brussels? [25] A: He didn't meet with me in London, I know Page 40 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 in that. When I had made the move to Brussels, Mr. m Palm would probably make one trip per year to the pj Brussels headquarters office to talk with a number [4] of product managers, because he handled -- he was [5] not a specialist in dielectric fluids, he was, as I [q said, a general representative, and so he would rn visit Brussels and meet with me amongst several [8] other product line managers. [9iQ: What was Rising and Strand's role as [io] Monsanto's agent in Sweden? mi A: They would handle the day-to-day contact [12] with Monsanto's customers for all its products. [i3iThey would coordinate with customers the acquisition (i4j of the appropriate import documentation and payment [151 documents, that is, credit and the like. They would [lq arrange for appropriate unloading of cargoes of [17] chemicals moving into Sweden. They had very limited [is] warehousing, but they could hold reserve inventories [iq of some products for customers who chose not to [20] inventory themselves the whole of their [21] requirements. They did the sort of things which a [22] good professional sales agency did. [23] Q: Did they monitor the market in Sweden? [24] A: In that they met, and, as I said, had that [25] day-to-day interface with the customer base, yes. Page 41 [i] They were expected to give us feedback on was demand [2] growing in Sweden or certain product lines. P)Q: Did they handle press relations in Sweden? [4[ A: No. [5]Q: Who handled Monsanto's press relations in [q Sweden? p] A: We would normally in that type of situation ra -- if there was a need for Monsanto to make a m press release of its own in a number of European poi countries, we would have wprked through our internal [in public relations department and then to an external [121 agency that would be capable of knowing how to [i3] prepare and place a press release in a number of [iq different languages in different European countries [iq with different media. We would certainly involve a [iq Rising and Strand, in the specific example of {\i\ Sweden, if we were going to make a press release, [is] We would be sure that they knew it was going to [i9] happen. But we did not depend or rely upon them in [20] any way of having, themselves, public relations [21] expertise, ca Q: Did you rely on Rising and Strand to monitor [23] what the press was saying? [24i A: No. We understood that they were pn intelligent, well educated individuals, and Page 42 in therefore, they much more so than, say, America at pi that point in time -- Europeans read a lot more p] newspapers than Americans, and they, therefore, tend [4] to be pretty well Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 37 - Page 42 WATER PCB-SD0000024785 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 versed in what's going on in the ra media in their country, and if they saw something [q which they felt was pertinent to the business that pi they were conducting for Monsanto, they would bring [q it to Monsanto's attention. But there was no formal pi responsibility of our talking to them and saying did [ioj you check the newspaper this morning to see if there [in was something about a Monsanto or a product line in [121 which Monsanto had any involvement, no. [i3] Q: But a good agent would do that, is that [Hi right? [i3] A: Yes. And they were a good agency. [i6] Q: Was Mr. Palm the only person at Rising and [\i\ Strand who handled dielectric fluid -- the [is] dielectric fluid business for Monsanto? [19] A: No. There would have been other . people who poi would have been in departments involved with customs pi] clearance, shipping and handling, and that sort of [22] thing, who would have been involved with [231 dielectrics. In terms of the interface with the [24] customers-- of Monsanto's or of customers of our [25] competitors for this product line in Sweden, Mr. Page 43 [i] Palm would have been the general sales [2] representative who had Aroclor as one of his product pi line responsibilities. [4] Q: Who were the users of dielectric fluids in [si Sweden at that time? [6] A: The major user of chlorinated biphenyl based ra dielectrics were a company called Liljeholmens. Do piyou want that spelled? L-i-l-j-e-h-o-l-m-e-n-s. [9] liljeholmens manufactured a wide range of electrical [ioj capacitors. There was a very large transformer [ii] manufacturer in Sweden called Asea, A-s-e-a. They nzi were a large manufacturer.af transformers, but they [13] did not figure largely in the market for chlorinated [14] biphenyls ' insulated transformers. They tended to [15] make standard oil filled transformers and air cooled [i6] transformers. They had only a very small business in [17] chlorinated biphenyl transformers. And those two [iq companies, essentially, were the major Swedish [19] potential for the type of dielectric fluids that we, [201 Ruan Cologne and Bayer sold based on chlorinated 1211 biphenyls. cm Q: Were there any other users of dielectric rn] fluids other than the two you mentioned? [24| A: I seem to remember there might have been a 125] couple of real small ones, but you're taking me too Page 44 [1] far back. [2] Q: But those two were the major users? [3] A: If I were going to visit Sweden, I would try [4] to charge discussion with those two companies. [3] Q: And there weren't other companies at TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY that [6] time who you made a special point of meeting with if ra you were to travel to Sweden, is that right? ra A: Not in Sweden. Normally, my trips would be [q Scandinavian in nature, and there were other [ioj manufacturers of electrical equipment in other [uj Scandinavian countries. But Rising and Strand were [12] a Swedish agency. [i3j Q: Did Rising and Strand serve as Monsanto's [i4j agent in any other country other than Sweden? [13] A: No. They were a -- they were a Swedish [16] company working in Sweden. [17] Q: Who were the other manufacturers of [iq dielectric fluids that competed with Monsanto in the [19) Swedish market? [201 A: The German -- the large German chemical [21] manufacturer that I would call Bayer, that you may [221 know as Bayer, B-a-y-e-r. That's my European [23] background, again. And a company in France called m Prodelec, P-r-o-d-e-l-e-c. There was an Italian ps] company called Caffaro, C-a-f-f-a-r-o. And I believe Page 45 in at a time there was a small Spanish producer. And ra in eastern Europe there was a state producer of pi dielectrics based on chlorinated biphenyl, ra Q: In 1966 when you were a product manager -- [5] excuse me. In 1966 when you were product ra supervisor, what share Of the Swedish market did [7] Monsanto enjoy? [8] A: Less than my supervisors would have liked, m At that stage the major user of dielectric fluids in [10] Sweden was Liljeholmens, and they were delighted by [in the emerging competition for chlorinated biphenyls, u25 and was swinging their contracts between the three [iaj major suppliers, the French supplier, the German [14] supplier and beginning to use Monsanto's presence in [is] continental Europe as leverage with those two [i6] suppliers. So, if we had more than 20 or 30 percent nTl on an annualized basis -- that's the number I have [iq in mind. But, again, this is a lot of years ago, [19) we're going back 30 years. poi Q: At that time did you view the Swedish market [21] as ripe for expansion of Monsanto's dielectric [221 business? [23] A: Yes. Because historically at that point in [24i time the Scandinavian countries were part of a [23] European trading group called EFTA, European Free Page 46 [i] Trade Association, which had duty-free entry for ra products between the member countries of EFTA, and p] England and Scandinavian were part of the European ra Free Trade Organization, whereas France and Germany iq were part of the emerging EEC, or European Economic ra Community, so for the 1 Page 42 - Page 46 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024786 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY first time there were some pi trade region benefits to be gained by Sweden pi importing dielectric fluids that had been pj manufactured in Great Britian, and Monsanto [ioj manufactured its European chlorinated biphenyls in [in Great Britain, so as EFTA and EEC emerged, there was [121 a temporary opportunity there for Monsanto to [13] potentially be able to become a more interesting [14] trading partner for the Swedish economy. [15] Q: And was Brussels -- excuse me, was Belgium [ko also in the EFTA. [i7] A: No. Belgium -- the Benelux, Italy, France, [isi Germany were part of the origins of the European [ii community. [20] Q: Where in Great Britian did Monsanto 121] manufacture dielectric fluids? [22] A: Our plant was -- we had two major [23] manufacturing facilities. The Aroclors were [24] manufactured, I think, in Newport, Wales. [25] Q: You mentioned that there was a second Page 47 [1] manufacturing facility, is that right? [2] A: There was a second manufacturing facility of pi size in north Wales, and a product line which I m handled later in my career was manufactured -- I'm [5]just trying to remember which line was manufactured [<q at which location. IT) Q: Did the northern Wales facility manufacture [s] any chlorinated biphenyl products? pi A; No, it didn't. [io] MR. DUFF: Off the record, [uj (Recess). [121 MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, after -- strike that. [i3] How long did you hold the position of product [i4] supervisor for dielectric fluids in Europe? ' [is] A: Until early in '68. [i] Q: And at that time how did your jitj responsibilities change? [isi A: Monsanto had a totally separate line of [19] products which we called the food and fine [20] business. Just to describe that, a fine chemical is pi] something which might find a use in a pharmaceutical [221 type of application, it might be a pharmaceutical [23] raw material, something of that nature. And [24] Monsanto at that time was the world's largest [25] producer of the chemical entity aspirin. You've Page 48 in never seen an aspirin tablet with Monsanto's name on [2] it, but something like 60 percent of the aspirin in pj the world was manufactured by Monsanto. And that tq was a very large business in Europe. And they isi decided that there were things that needed to be [6] done with the marketplace development of that [7] business that I had the skills to be able to handle, [s] and, therefore, they assigned me to that food and [9] fine business. [ioj Q: And your position was what at that time? [in A: Market supervisor for food and fine [iq Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 chemicals, later to become product manager. [i3] Q: And how long were you a supervisor in the [i4] food and fine chemicals business for Monsanto? [15] A: If I take your term supervisor to include [16] the market supervisor role and the product manager [itj role, I was in that role from 1968 until 1974. ns] Q: Did you become market -- excuse me. Did [19] you become market manager after you were market [20] supervisor? pi] A: Yes, I did. [22] Q: And you were product manager during what [23] period? [24] A: I was product -- in the product manager [25] role, which, again, was the heading up that business ;Page 49 in in the European arena, from 1972 to '74. [2] Q: Are you relying on the CV which has been pj marked as Exhibit 273? [4i A: To make sure I give you those dates [5] accurately. I could have given you the years [6] without referring to it, but I needed to check the pj dates. [8] Q: And what position did you hold next after [9] you were product manager for fine chemicals? [io] A: I held at that stage the position of [in international market manager for fluids in St. [12] Louis, Missouri. [13] Q: And by fluids, what do you mean? [14] A: Fluids were the dielectric fluids which 1 [15] had had previous experience with in Europe. [16] Aviation fluids. Monsanto makes a product called [i7] Skydrol, S-k-y-d-r-o-1, which is the hydraulic fluid [isi in commercial aircraft, which we sell around the [i9j world. There was some minor involvement with [20] Pydraul, some minor involvement with Therminol. And [21] then there were three or four very specialized small [22] fluids involved with the space program and military 123] avionics which took a small part of my time. [24] Q: What involvement did your position have with [25] Pydraul fluids? _________ .Page 50 til A; If we were selling a Pydraul fluid, for [2] example, in Australia, and I were visiting Australia pj to talk about our dielectric fluids business and our m aviation fluids business, I had to have sufficient [51 knowledge of what the Pydraul group were doing in m Australia to be able to be an accurate carrier of m messages and to talk with the people in Australia, pi to use that example, about what they might do to [9i extend the business or -- so, the major part of the [to] international assignment was related to the major (iij product lines of dielectrics and aviation fluids. [i2] Q: During the time that you were the [i3j international market manager for fluids, were any of [io those fluids -- did any of those fluids contain [151 PCBs? Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 46 - Page 50 WATER PCB-SD0000024787 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 [i] A: I think by the time I assumed that position [in Monsanto had already changed the formulations of the [lsipydrauls to be non-containing of chlorinated [is] biphenyls. [20] Q: Is it correct to say that at that time pi] Monsanto's Pydraul fluids were phosphate ester [221 based? [23] A: Yes. [24i Q: And that is because they had had -- strike [25] that. That is because Monsanto's Pydraul fluids at Page 51 [i] that time had been reformulated to remove PCBs and pi PCTs, is that right? Pl A: I believe that's right. [4] Q: And by PCBs you understand me to mean [5] polychlorinated biphenyls, is that right? [6] A: Yes. n Q: By PCTs you understand me to mean pj polychlorinated terphenyls? ' [9] A: Yes. (ini Q: You stated a minute ago and correct me if I [in misstate what you just testified to, that you needed [i2] to know about other products... such as Pydraul in [13] order to be fully informed for the benefit of your, [i4j predominantly, dielectric customers, is that right? Ii5] A: No. No. You did misunderstand me. If you [i6] look at Monsanto's presence in the non-U. S., [i7] non-European marketplace for products which were [isi encompassed in the business of functional fluids, (19] dielectric fluids were the largest international poi business. The aviation fluids were the second pi] largest aviation business. The heat transfer fluids pa were probably the third largest business. The (23] hydraulic fluids were probably the fourth largest p4] business. And then there were a smattering of these pqhighly specialized avionics, aerospace, space, high....* [i] * * * 5 Page 52 [i] vacuum fluids which were very a . specialized category p] of products. So, in most cases if I were addressing pi a particular international market situation, the [4] major component of my focus and effort would be on [5] the dielectric business. I probably was --1 was (4 traveling to that country to talk about dielectrics pi business, I would talk to the national airline about pi aviation fluids, and depending on which specific pi country it was, I might or might not get involved in poia discussion on heat transfer fluids or Pydraul. So mi if I were to break down the time and effort in my [123 assignment, it would have been in the sequence that p3] I've just outlined. But I was not taking [i4] information about hydraulic fluids for the benefit (i5j of dielectric customers, which is the way you [iei portrayed it. [i7[ Qs I understand. [is] A: Okay? [isi Q: Were you responsible for any customers in 1201 the United States when you TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY were international market pi] manager? [22] A: I wasn't responsible for companies in the [23] United States. I was responsible for familiarizing [24] myself with dielectric customers in the United ps] States who would have -- who might have Page 53 [i] subsidiaries in other countries. So that if I were ra to visit South America, Brazil, and visit the pi General Electric subsidiary, that they would feel m that, yes, I knew something about what General pi Electric and Monsanto were doing in the United [6] States. [7] Q: So your responsibilities with respect to 18] companies in the United States was limited to pi situations where those U.S. companies had [to] subsidiaries, affiliates or facilities outside of (in the U.S., is that right? [12] A: Yes. [13] Q: Did you ever have any contact with Tennessee [i4] Gas Pipeline during your career at Monsanto? [15] A: No, I didn't. [16] Q: Did you ever speak with anybody at ----Tennessee [17] Gas Pipeline? [isi A: Not that I can recall doing so. Not in a [19] business context. I mean, I may have met them at poj some industrial gathering, but -- pi] Q: Do you recall meeting with anybody at pg Tennessee Gas Pipeline at any time? [23] A: I don't. [24] Q: As an international marketing manager, did [23] you work with any customers who were solely Pydraul Page 54 [i] customers? pi A: Yes. This was a period of time when pi offshore drilling was an important world-wide w development, and there were specific phosphate [j] ester-based Pydraul fluids that we used in the [6] offshore drilling industry to clamp down the caps on pj drilled wellheads, and to move the rig up and down, ra Some of these floating rigs, they were getting very [9] large and very sophisticated at that point in time. [io] So there would be some companies around the world pi] involved in offshore drilling that by the very [12] nature of my travel program, if I was in that p3] country where offshore drilling was at a high level, [14] then I would talk to some of the drilling companies ps] specifically about Pydraul and I would have no need [i6] to talk to them about dielectrics or aviation fluids p7] or anything else, pg] Qs Were any of your Pydraul customers -- [i9] strike that. Did you ever work with customers at pog Monsanto -- strike that. While you worked for pi] Monsanto, did you ever work with any customers who iza used Monsanto fluids in air compressors? ps] A: I won't say that I never met one, but p4i certainly it was a tiny part of my role. I mean, psiair compresser lubricants were a very small Page 55 Page 50 - Page 55 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314)241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024788 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY m component of hydraulic fluids, and hydraulic fluids, pj as I said, were a very small part of my work. pi Q: Do you recall any customers who used (4) Monsanto fluids in air compressors? is] A: No. [q Q: What type of Pydraul fluids were used in the pi offshore drilling industry at the time -- excuse pi me, I'm sorry. At the time, what type of Pydraul [q fluids were used in the offshore drilling industry, [ioi at the time that you were international market mi manager? (i2i A: The major fluid of use in that particular (i3i application was a Pydraul 29 ELT, which was a (Mi phosphate ester-based fluid. [is] Q: Was one of your responsibilities as uq international marketing manager to discuss with (i2i customers the historical presence of chlorinated [isj compounds in functional fluids? (i9j A: No. 5 [2oi Q: Were there times when you did discuss with pi] Monsanto's customers the fact that functional fluids (221 in the past had contained chlorinated hydrocarbons? (23] MR. CHAMBERS: Let me object to the form. [24i When you say functional fluids, you mean more than (251 pydrauls now? Page 56 in MR. DUFF: Yes. [2] MR. CHAMBERS: Okay. It included dielectrics pi and heat transfer and -- [4] MR. DUFF: Yes. [5] A: As I say, the dielectric fluids still did (q contain PCBs at this point in time. To the extent pi that -- most of my conversations, as I traveled pi internationally, were dielectrics based, so I [91 certainly had discussions as I went around my (iq international business at that time about PCBs in mi dielectrics and Monsanto's view of PCBs in [i2j dielectrics. I said the second area of emphasis was [13] to talk about aviation fluids. Aviation fluids, for [iq technology reasons, never had contained PCBs. They [iq had to work at very low temperatures, because planes [iq get cold up there in the sky. To the extent that I i\i\ met occasionally, as I portrayed, with people who [iq were involved in hydraulic fluid use, I mean, they [iq were aware that Monsanto had reformulated its fluids m and that the fluids that Monsanto was then selling pi] did not contain any PCBs. So, did we occasionally pq get into some dialogue about well, what do you think p3i about PCBs? I can't say it never happened, but I [24] was not part of the dialogue that went on with pq Pydraul users as Monsanto reformulated. That had* 4 Page 57 in happened before I got involved with functional [21 fluids after six years away from that business. pi Q: After you were international marketing [4] manager, what position did you hold next? iq A: Then I became -- what title did we use? Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 (q Market manager, dielectrics. Pi Q: And when did you become market manager for pi dielectrics? Pi A: In 1975. [101Q: And what were your responsibilities when you [i 11 were market manager for dielectrics? [121 A: To relate to the market for dielectric [131 fluids around the world, to understand customer and [14] marketplace needs for the types of dielectric fluids uq that Monsanto manufactured, to be able to (iq communicate with our customers as new fluids were [iq being developed to potentially replace [iq PCB-containing fluids, to represent a proper balance [iqbetween Monsanto's desire to disengage from PCBs and pq our responsibility to the electrical industry to pi] make sure that the -- both our immediate customers [221 and their customers were able to satisfactorily p3i conduct business as this transition away from PCBs [24] was occurring. (2q Q: And what position did you hold next? .Page 58 in A: I became industry manager, dielectrics. And pi that was January 1st of 1976 and went for a two year pi period through'77. [4i Q: What were your responsibilities as industiy [q manager for dielectrics? [q A: Responsibility then was to make sure that pi Monsanto exited PCBs responsibly and that we pi appropriately evaluated if Monsanto could supply any (q alternative fluid to the industry to replace those (ioi dielectrics containing PCBs in the applications (in where they had been used, and to make sure that [121 Monsanto was in tune with the conversion timetables [i3i of electrical equipment producers and electrical [iq equipment users, and talk with the EPA as [iq regulations were beginning to be formulated about [iq identification, location, dismantling and disposal [iq of PCB-containing electrical equipment as it went [iai out of service in the future. And to make sure that [iq approach was appropriately conducted simultaneously pojon a world-wide basis, pi] Q: Any other responsibilities? [221 A: That kept me very busy. [23i Q: Did Monsanto -- what did Monsanto determine pq about whether or not it could supply replacement pq fluids for the dielectric fluids that contained Page 59 [11 PCBs? [21 A: We came up with some interesting molecules pi to be replacement transformer coolants, but the m industiy ultimately decided to go to a greater use tq of non-fire retardant transformers, coupled with an (q increased use in resituated dry type air cooled pi transformers. And in a couple of situations to use [q a newly developed silicone fluid to insulate [q transformers, even though its properties were seen [icq to be inferior to those Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

And there was a high [i3j viscosity, high flash point oil that was produced by [uj a company called RTE Corporation, which had a psi limited -- very minor success and then failed pq because it really wasn't fire-resistant. So we im tried and failed, but we had already made a usi commitment that when the industry said that it could [i9] change, then we retained the right to cease po] production, as we did, irrespective of whether pi] Monsanto was selling a replacement fluid. Equally, [22] in capacitors, different solutions were found forpra -- whereas the PCB-containing dielectrics had p4] characteristics which made their use very universal psi between small and large capacitors, the industry ;Page 60 [i] splintered in the stage of transition and ' came up ra with a number of different solutions for different ra sectors of the capacitor marketplace, and we, again, [4] had two fluids that were of interest to major [5] capacitor______ producers, but the economics of producing [ei those and using those proved to their evaluation to ra be inferior to some alternatives that they looked at ra and so, ultimately,, when they sort of said we're ra now ready to make the transition, we stopped n<q producing askarels and exited the dielectrics pi) business. [12] Q: Was askarel the name that Monsanto used for (oj its dielectric fluids? [14] A: Oh, I'm sony. I knew we were going to [15] reach a point where I suddenly, habit after [16] life-time, dropped in askarel. Askarel was an [i7] industry term for a -- I've got to remember the pq definition. It's a fire resistant fluid which does [i9inot produce fire resistant -- does not produce pq inflammable gases under arc conditions. And so the pi] chlorinatedbiphenyl dielectrics were a member of pa the class of askarels. There were other fluids that [23] would fall within the definition of askarel that [24] were not PCBs. [25] Q: Such as what? :Page 61 [i] A: Some of the liquid gas type coolants such pi as, I think, sulphur hexafluoride was considered pi that it could be designated as an askarel. The m major askarel were the chlorinated [5] biphenyl-containing dielectrics, and so a lot of ra people even in the industry and well familiar with pj askarel tended to use chlorinated biphenyl ra dielectrics and askarels almost interchangeably. I ra shouldn't have ever mentioned the word askarel, we po] wouldn't have gotten that definition. piiQ: After you were marketing manager for [121 dielectrics, what position did you hold next? [13] A: I thought we had gone -- I went from market pq manager dielectrics to industry manager, dielectrics [iq and you asked me what was my role as industry peg manager dielectrics. TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY Am I sort of getting out of p7] sequence here? [ra Q: No, I think you're correct. What time [ra period were you industry manager for dielectrics? po)A: '76 and'77. pi] Q: We did cover that. And what position did [22] you hold next? [23j A: Market manager, heat transfer and process (24] chemicals. I had almost forgotten that one. [25] Q: And how long did you hold that position? Page 62 [i] A: From January '78 to December '79. pi Q: What were your responsibilities as market ra manager for heat transfer and process chemicals? ra A: Two major responsibilities. I was now in ra what we termed the specialty chemicals division, ra which we referred to earlier as the functional ra fluids division. A rose by any other name. It ra really was the same collection of products, but it ra had become known as specialty chemicals. Two po] .... ... components of that specialty chemical business were pi] a range of fluids which were used in industrial [ra indirect heating applications. And a second area [ra were what we referred to as process chemicals, which pq were -- the larger part of the process chemical pj] business was the production of solvents for pq carbonless paper systems. [ra Q: Did you have any other responsibilities in [is] that position when you were market manager for heat [ra transfer and process chemicals, other than those pq that you've stated? [21] A: I said those were the major products. There [22] were two or three other tiny products which were in [23] the development phase, but that was the major part pq of the assignment. [251Q: Did you have any other responsibilities * 'P4age 63 pi other than with respect to those two categories of ra products when you were marketing manager for heat ra transfer and process chemicals? [4] A: Yes. I also had responsibility at that time ra for ethylene maleic anhydride copolymers. ra MR. CHAMBERS: We may need to spell that. ra As Ethylene, e-t-h-y-l-e-n-e. Maleic, ra m-a-l-e-i-c. Anhydride, a-n-h-y-d-r-i-d-e. ra Copolymers, c-o-p-o-l-y-m-e-r-s. EMA copolymers poi were used as thickeners in pigment systems which pi] were used for coloring fabrics such as cotton. They [12] were used as resins to adhere active coatings to [ra some parts of the carbonless paper system, which was pq why they were included in the same business area as [ra the solvents used in the carbonless paper business, pq and they were used as an essential component in the [ra Page 59 - Page 63 Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

I had responsibility [is] for the finally divided carbon business that we had [i9] at that time, which was used as a mold release in poj producing copper ingots by the primary copper pi] producers around the world. That's about it. 122] Q: And after you were marketing manager for [23] heat transfer and process chemicals, what position [24] did you hold next? [25] A: I made a major career move, I swing across ____________________ _ Page 64 [i] the desk from marketing to purchasing, at my request p] and with Monsanto's agreement. Pi Q: Why did you request that change? hi A: Monsanto and I had mutually decided that I [3] would stay in America and not go back to Europe and, [ej therefore, I needed to find out more about the U.S. p] chemical industry. And because you will note that esj most of my career to that point had been in rather [9] small volume specialty type chemical areas, and if I no] was to make a career in the U.S. chemical industry I [ii] needed to learn something about the -- some of the [12] larger volume chemical businesses in the United [i3] States, and we agreed that what better place to [i4] learn about those than in the purchasing role, which [m gave me access to a dialogue with many of the--[i] many of America's leading chemical producers. [i7] Q: So was your position one of purchasing ns] materials for Monsanto to produce products? [19] A: Raw materials. Raw material chemicals. [20] Q: What sort of raw material chemicals were you pi] responsible for purchasing for Monsanto? [22] A: I was responsible for buying the propylene psj and ethylene. Do you want any spellings? Monsanto m had at that time been operating a major cracker, psj c-r-a-c-kre-r, down in Texas in the Gulf, and this __Page 65 [i] was in a joint venture with Conoco, and when DuPont pj reached out and bought Conoco, they bought us out of pj that Olefin operation in the Gulf, and so we needed m to buy major amounts of olefins, o-l-e-f-i-n-s, is] which is the collective name for propylene and [6] ethylene. So that was -- strategically placed p] Monsanto in a position of needing to talk at that m point in time to all the major Gulf coast [9] petrochemical producers, and so I was very involved [iai with that as part of my career development and [ii] learning more about the U.S. chemical industry. I [12] also bought precious metals for Monsanto, I bought mi catylists for Monsanto, I bought the most broad [i4 range of oxalalcohols, I bought -- [is] Q: So you were responsible for all raw chemical nq purchases? [17] A: No. [is] Q: Is that right? [i9] A: No. No. No. No. That isn't right. Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 You [20] lept to a conclusion. There were plenty of things I pi] didn't buy. But I -- Monsanto organized its [22] purchasing department at that time into a small St. ps) Louis based group that bought the major chemical raw [24] materials for the corporation, so I was one of about [25] four members of that team. But not the only one. Page 66 [i] But Monsanto bought many raw materials, and the ones [2] that I bought, oh, several billion dollars a year pi worth of raw materials, which was a great [4] opportunity to learn about the U.S. chemical [51 industry. [6] Q: After you held the position of manager for p] raw materials purchases, what position did you hold [8] then? [9i A: I went down to Brazil to become commercial [uq director for Monsanto's operations in the chemical [lijand plastics area, non-agricultural chemical, in the [12] Brazilian marketplace. [i3] Q: And what were your responsibilities in that [i4] position? [15] A: To represent the interests of Monsanto's [14 chemical group. At that time Monsanto was broken [17] down into the chemicals group, the agricultural uq group. We had acquired Searle and Nutrasweet at [i9] that time. So, essentially, I handled the complete [2cq range of products offered by the chemical group, and [21] also represented the Nutrasweet interest in Brazil. [22] Didn't get involved with agricultural chemicals, taj And so my responsibility was to sell the products m that we made in America into Brazil, to profitably ps] grow the businesses where we had already built Page 67 [i] plants in Brazil to serve the Brazilian and ca Brazilian export market, and to define new projects [3] by which Monsanto could expand its capital w investments in the manufacture of chemicals in 151 Brazil. [q Q: How long did you hold that position? p] A: Six years. My wife would have it we should [8] never have left. [9] Q: So was that from approximately 1982 to 1988? no] A: '88. [in Q: What position did you hold next? [121 A: When I came back from Brazil I joined the us] resins group, the resins division, and handled the [14] adhesives business and the specialty resin business [151 and the specialty plasticizer business as business [i6] director. [17] Q: And how long did you hold that position? [i8i A: The reason why I hesitate is because we went [is] through a lot of restructuring at this time. I held m the position per se with slight variations as we pi] moved part of that business from the resins division [22] to the specialties division. In the specialties [23] division -- so I probably held the resins division p4]job in '88, '89 and into the beginning of '90, then ps] in Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

We then pi restructured a second time and moved the polymer iq modifier business back to the resins division, and [5] at that stage I became Director Americas, North and [q South, for the Saflex business, which is the plastic n interlayer for laminated glass that we were-- that pi we alluded to earlier. And then I took an early pj retirement from Monsanto in the fall of 1993, and [io] that concluded my career with Monsanto. [i i] Q: What did you do following your retirement [iz] from Monsanto? [13] A: I took a year to decide whether I would [14] retire retire, work for somebody else or start my [is] own business, and decided that . retirement retirement [iq after a trial period' held no great reward for me or [n] desire for me. I decided I didn't really want to [i8] work for anybody else at this point in my career, psi and so I formed a small business called David Wood [20] and Associates that I've subsequently merged and pi] incorporated into a business with an ex-colleague to p?i form Paton Wood Associates International. [23] Q: What is the business of Paton Wood pq Associates International? [25] A: It has two business foci. One is die Page 69 pi development of and implementation of international pi strategy, and secondly, in terms of enhancing that pi implementation in offering a range of skill iq development courses and training. [si Q: What type of international strategy are you [6] referring to? m A: There are many companies who today recognize m that the commercial world & becoming more global in pi aspect, and historically they may have been in [io] local, national, regional markets, and this could (in be, for example, a company here in Missouri who has [121 aspirations to grow into Europe or to grow into [is] South America or to grow into Asia. It could be a [iq European company that wanted to move into the [15] American marketplace. Both I and my colleagues have [i6] a lot of hands-on experiences of international (12] business and growing and developing international [ig] business, and so we can remove an element of fear [is] from the process of corporations expanding into poi international marketplaces, pi] Q: Is your partner Cumming Paton? cat A: Yes, it is.

Was that the position that [6] you held from the beginning to the end of October pi 1966? Pi A: Yes. [9] Q: And you said that it was on November 1st, [1011966 that you moved into the position of product [in supervisor for dielectric fluids, is that right? [i2] A: That's the date of the assignment change. [13] It wasn't the date that I actually physically moved [iq from London to Brussels. Just to make sure [is] we're -- [16] Q: Sure. I understand. So did you actually [17] become product supervisor for dielectric fluids [is] while you were still in London? [i9] A: I probably started to pick up information. [201 But as I said, you know, it takes several weeks to [211 move internationally, and so there was a period when pzi I was toing and froing between London and Brussels. [23] But in terms of when was I assigned and when did I pi] officially-assume the office of product------supervisor, psidielectric fluids, that was November the 1st, 1966.

It was written [ii by a general sales representative in the offices of [i7] Rising and Strand, and it was reporting his [isi observation of some media publicity in Sweden [i9] concerning a chemical which he believed might be poj associated with Monsanto's chlorinated biphenyls. PHQ: And when you say Monsanto's chlorinated [221 biphenyls, you mean Monsanto's Aroclors, is that [231 right? [24i A: Yes. [25] Q: When Mr. Palm sent you this letter, was he Page 73 in following up on a conversation that you and he had pi had prior to the date of this letter? pi A: He opens the letter with the words "As [4i mentioned", and so I can only make a conjecture, and jsi it's only that, but we must have immediately prior [6] to this had a very brief telephone call when he said pil'm sending you a letter about. Pi Q: Do you recall this telephone call with Mr. [si Palm? [ini A: No, I don't. [in Q: And when Mr. Palm sent you this letter, he [12] told you in this letter that there had been some [isi publicity in Sweden concerning investigations made [141 at the Institution of Analytical Chemistry at the psi Stockholm University, is that right? pqA: Yes.' im Q: Were you familiar with this Swedish research psi at the time that Mr. Palrn sent you this letter? ;, [19] A: To the extent that there obviously had been [20] a very short preliminary telephone conversation, I [21] was familiar that he was sending me a letter about [221 what had been reported in Sweden. Prior to that [231 telephone call, I knew nothing of any work going on pq in Sweden. [25] Q: Do you recall if in that telephone call Mr. Page 74 pi Palm indicated to you that he believed that the pi Swedish research related to Monsanto's Aroclors? pi A: No. [4i Q: You don't recall that? in A: No, I don't. [<si Q: Had the Swedish research received any pi publicity in London at this time? (8) MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [9] MR.

[i9i Q: Mr. Palm told you that this Swedish poj research, quote, revealed that a group of products pi] called polychlorinated biphenyls, PCB, accumulated [22] in certain organs of animals, correct? P3] A: That's what he stated in the letter. And [24] specifically he stated that polychlorinated [25] biphenols had been the subject of some Swedish Page 75 [1] research. [2] Q: And he referred to that chlorinated compound pj as PCB for short, is that correct, in his letter? [4] A: In his letter he so referred. But, I mean, [5i he talked about a paper which was related to a class [q of compounds which he designated as polychlorinated m biphenols. And I want to emphasize that, because it [8] became material in internal discussions at Monsanto. [9i Q: And he spelled that -- he spelled biphenols [io] in the first paragraph of this letter [iub-i-p-h-e-n-o-l-s, is that right? [12] A: That's correct, yes. [is] Q: But then he referred to polychlorinated [141 biphenols as PCB, is that right? [i5i A: He referred in that fashion, yes. [16] Q: And he told you that the Swedish research or 1171 the Swedish investigations had indicated that this (isj chlorinated compound had been found to accumulate in [191 organs of animals, is that right? [20] A: He states in the letter that an organic [211 chemical is claimed by a Swedish research group to [221 accumulate in the tissue of animals. [23] Q: And did you understand this organic chemical [24] to be Monsanto's Aroclors? [251 A: No. ;Page 76 pi Q: Did you understand this chemical to be [2] polychlorinated biphenyls? pi A: No. [4] Q: Did you understand that it was possible that [5i it was, in fact, polychlorinated biphenyls that Mr. [i Palm was speaking of? pj A: I understood that when lay people are [si reporting technical issues they can sometimes get [9] into problems with nomenclature, so I chose not to iiai make any assumption at that point in time. [illQ: Were you concerned that Mr. Palm might be [12] speaking of a product that was manufactured by [13] Monsanto?

[22] Q: Elsewhere in Mr. Palm's letter to you on [23] November 28, 1966 he referred to these chlorinated [24] compounds as polychlorinated biphenyls, y-l-s, is ps] that correct? Page 77 [1]A: I'll need to -- [2] MR. CHAMBERS: Can you direct -- P] A: Can you direct me to a particular point that [4] you - [5] MR. DUFF: Certainly. I'll direct your [6] attention to the last page of this document, and P] specifically the second to the last paragraph, pi A: Are you talking to the paragraph which [9] starts, I quote, I suppose there is no doubt that [icq what has been term polychlorinated . biphenyls is pi] equal to Aroclor, is that the'~ [i2] Q: Yes, I am. In that sentence Mr. Palm p3] referred to polychlorinated biphenyls spelled -- [i4] where biphenyls was spelled b-i-p-h-e-n-y-l-s, is ps] that correct?............ ... [i6] A: That's what he -- yes. Mr. Palm makes his [i7] personal supposition in that paragraph. P8] Q: And his supposition relates to whether or 09] not there is any doubt, is that correct? m A: He supposes, Mr. Palm supposes that there is [zi] no doubt that what has been termed polychlorinated tm biphenols which, in fact, was not referred to as [23] polychlorinated biphenyls, is equal to Aroclor, pq which is an incorrect assumption as well, because as [25] I told you earlier in testimony, Monsanto was trying ;Page 78 Pi to penetrate the Swedish market, but if, indeed, tzi firstly the class of organic ' ` compounds was related pj to the biphenyl; y-1, molecule, then it's certainly [4] not a correct supposition on his part to make an [5] ' assumption that it is equal to Aroclor. There is a [6] looseness in language. You're talking about a p] Swedish gentleman who is writing in English, which [s] is not his native language, and so as I read this, I [9] mean, I took that for what it's worth and addressed [ioi the question differently to the way that you've [ii] suggested it could be read. [i2] Q: Do you agree that in this sentence Mr. Palm [i3] was telling you that the chlorinated compound which [14] was the subject of the Swedish research had been pj] termed polychlorinated biphenyls, y-l-s? [i] A: No. [in Q: You don't agree that that's what this (isi sentence says? [i9i A: No, I don't. [aqQ: In this letter of November 28, 1966 Mr. Palm pi] also told you that these chlorinated compounds were izu said to be related to DDT and equally poisonous, [23i correct? TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY [24] A: Can you again draw my attention to a [25] particular paragraph? Page 79 [i] Q: Certainly. The first paragraph of the pi letter. In this first paragraph did Mr. Palm tell [3] you, quote, they are said to be related to DDT and [4] equally poisonous, unquote? [5] A: He reported what he had been reading in a [6i sentence, which to quote the letter, Mr. Palm's pj letter, they are said to be related to DDT and m equally poisonous. [9] Q: And Mr. Palm also told you that these [io] findings of the Swedish researchers were discussed [ii] at a meeting of scientists at the Wenner-Gren Centre [izj in Stockholm on November 22, 1966, is that correct? [i3i A: That's stated in Mr. Palm's letter. [i4] Q: Did I pronounce that correctly? Is it [i5] Wenner-Gren? [16] A: Strictly not, but -- that's sort of [i7] irrelevant. [isi Q: Were you present at that meeting of p9i scientists on November 22nd? po] A: No, I certainly wasn't.....-- ---.... ...-- pi] Q: Are you aware if anybody from Monsanto, any pzi representative of Monsanto was present at that p3] meeting? [24] A: No. PS] Q: Do you know if Mr. Palm was present at that Page 80 [1] meeting? [2] A: He was not. [3] Q: Do you know that for a fact? [4] A: Yes. [5] Q: In this letter of November 28, 1966 Mr. Palm [6] translated for you an article that had appeared in a pj Swedish daily paper recounting the findings of the [8] Swedish scientists, correct? [91 A: Yes. [icq Q; And he told you -- strike that. And he mi translated the article in the Swedish daily paper as iizj saying, quote, it is found in salmon and in pike, it [i3j is found in sea eagles living on fish, it is found [i4] on the surface of needles of the fir trees that is [i5i in the air, it is found on the hair of a five months pq baby, is that correct?

[20] Q: What was your reaction when you saw this pi] letter from Mr. Palm? pzi A: My reaction was one of puzzlement and saying [23] that I needed to seek advice from colleagues within [24] the Monsanto technical community to say -- tell me pj] a little bit about the relevance of this article in ___________ ______________ Page 81 [i] Sweden, is there a connection or is there a possible [2] connection between here, are we talking a different pi class of chemicals, are we talking about a media [4] misunderstanding, are Page 76 - Page 81 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314)241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024794 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY we talking about a factual pi representation. There's something here that if, a [q very sort of qualifiable if, a product which pi Monsanto, amongst others, makes and supplies to [8] European industry is accumulating in the pi environment, then we need to address the issue. do] Q: In feet, it was a very important issue to [i ii get to the bottom of, is that right? [i2] A: Very important? It was a very-- it was a [i3] significant issue to clarify what was indeed being [i4] talked about. I mean, at this stage I received no [is] scientific paperwork, all I'm receiving is a [iq translation of an article from a Swedish daily [i7] newspaper whose reputation I know nothing of, about usi a situation where certain strangely unscientific [i9] language is used. And, so, is it very important? [20] No. As responsible manufacturers of chemicals, if [21] something is happening in an area of chemistry which [22] even by supposition is closely related to something [23] that we are doing, we need to appropriately address [24] it and find out from the scientists involved what ps] they've really been doing. Page 82 ID Q: Whose responsibility was it to clarify pi whether or not polychlorinated biphenyls, the [3] product manufactured by Monsanto, was the subject of m the Swedish research? [3] A: I assumed an initial responsibility, but [] communicated the rather tenuous report that I pi received from Mr. Palm to my colleagues in the [8] United States, and asked for their guidance. [] Q: Who did you contact in the United States to [tor convey this information that was contained in Mr. nij Palm's letter? [12] A: I think I contacted Paul Benignus. I think [i3] that's what my initial step would have been. [14] Q: And why is that? us] A: Because Paul Benignus was essentially the [i6] product manager for the dielectrics business in a [171 world-wide context at St. Louis headquarters of [isi Monsanto, and if even I had commercial or technical [19] questions, my first contact would be with Mr. pq Benignus to allow him to access the appropriate pi] level of expertise within the headquarter company in [22] America. [23] Q: Did you speak with anyone else in St. Louis [24] at this time? [25] A: I think you need to say at this time. I'd Page 83 [i] like -- the sequence of events, I think, are pi evident from communications that you'll probably be pi walking me through today. Did I speak -- I remember [4] that I contacted Benignus. I cannot remember [3] anything else that would not have been generated by [6i that first contact with Benignus. Pl Q: How soon after receiving this letter from Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 p] Mr. Palm did you contact Paul Benignus? [9] A: Fairly quickly. I can't remember the date [io] that I wrote to him. But it was fairly rapidly. [in Q: Did you call him or write him a letter? [12] A: I wrote him a letter. [i3iQ: You didn't pick up the telephone and tell [i4] him what you had learned? us] A: No. [lei Q: Do you recall if you wrote him a letter on [i7] the day that you received the correspondence from [is] Mr. Palm or was it a week later? [i9] A: I don't recall. [2D] Q: Do you recall who in St. Louis you spoke pi] with next? [22] A: No. [23] Q: Do you recall any of the individuals that [24] you spoke with at the end of 1966 other than Mr. ps] Benignus who were from the St. Louis office? :Page 84 [i] A: I don't -- I can speculate, but I don't pj think that helps us, I mean, because I think that pi there are records of who I spoke to. [4] Q: I don't want you to speculate. [3] A: Well, I'm glad. [6i Q: Directing your attention to the third page p] of Mr. Palm's letter, and specifically the paragraph pi to which we were referring a moment ago, which ra begins "I suppose" -[10] A: Is that the the penultimate paragraph? [inQ: Yes, it is. [12] Q: He also wrote to you, quote, there is also [i3] no doubt that the published facts will cause [14] considerable unrest in several comers, . is that [is] correct? [i6i A: That's an accurate reading of the second [17] sentence of the penultimate paragraph. [is] Q; What was your reaction when you read this [i9] sentence? pq A: One of recognition that at a time when the pi] liberal release of DDT to the European environment 122] was being questioned in a highly public form and p3] that this report that Ola Palm was translating was p4] in a Swedish daily newspaper, and Sweden, in its ps] very socially forward thinking, was a country which Page 85 in had a reputation, justly arrived at, of being pi concerned about the environment, that if there was pj publicity about a new chemical class other than DDT ra that was being found in the environment, that this, rj indeed, would cause considerable unrest in several ra quarters, m Q: Did Monsanto manufacture any phenol products pi at this time? pi A: Monsanto had manufactured chlorinated [io] phenols. And whether we were manufacturing them at [iij that time, I cannot recall. But we were [12] manufacturing chlorinated phenol, not chlorinated [i3] biphenol. [i4] Q; So at this time Monsanto was manufacturing [is] chlorinated phenol, is that Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 81 - Page 85 WATER PCB-SD0000024795 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9,1995 correct? nl A: I just said -- I just said I cannot recall (i7i whether Monsanto was manufacturing chlorinated [is] phenol at this time. [i9] Q: I understand. So there was a time when [to] Monsanto manufactured chlorinated phenol, is that pu right? [22i A: There was a time! And the start of that [23] time and the end of that time -- I was never [24] associated with the chlorinated phenol product line 1251 in Europe, and the dates that we were involved with Page 86 Hi that business, I don't recall and have no direct [21 knowledge of. pi Q: Did Monsanto ever manufacture chlorinated w biphenol? [3i MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. He i just said -- . pi A: No. No. No. No. He asked if we [si manufactured -- first he asked if we manufactured [91 chlorinated phenol, do] MR. CHAMBERS: Correct. [in A: And I said we had. [12] MR. CHAMBERS: Correct. [13] A: And I couldn't remember the dates between [14] which we manufactured it. [i3] MR. CHAMBERS: Correct. [16] A: He then asked had we ever manufactured (17) chlorinated biphenol. [is] MR. CHAMBERS: Correct. I understood your [i9i testimony from earlier to have -- that you stated [201 sometime a few moments ago that Monsanto had never pu manufactured it. [22| A: We had never manufactured a biphenol [23] chlorinated product. [24j MR. DUFF: Thank you. [23] A: Sony. I misunderstood the level of where Page 87 [i] you were. . - .. m MR. CHAMBERS: As long as we get it clear, pi that's fine with me. [41 A: And this, gentlemen, is an area which is [Si difficult to get totally clear, I've found in [6] previous depositions. Pi MR. DUFF: Well, we'll attempt to do so. Pi A: We welcome that. [9] Q: So when Mr. Palm used the phrase in the [io] first paragraph of his letter polychlorinated (in biphenol, you did not -- strike that. When Mr. Palm [13 used the term polychlorinated biphenols in the first [13] paragraph of his letter, you knew at that time that [i4i that Monsanto did not manufacture a product which [151 included polychlorinated biphenols, is that right? [i6] A: I'm going to have to ask you, Mr. Duff, to [17] be very careful as we go through this particular bit [is] in terms of the way you pronounce biphenyls and [191 biphenols. Okay? [201Q: I'll try and put the -- [21] A: For the tape, if nothing else. It can get (22ivery confusing and it's rather important. TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY [23] Q: Let me restate the question for you. At the [24] time that Mr. Palm wrote you this letter on November [23] 28, 1966 and referred in the first paragraph of his Page 88 in letter to a group of products called polychlorinated ra biphenols, you knew at that time that Monsanto did pj not manufacture any such product, is that correct? W A: No. I knew that we did not sell any [5] chlorinated biphenols in Europe. I didn't know [6] whether another part of Monsanto in the States might pi ever, or at that time have manufactured a ra chlorinated biphenol. I knew we had been involved pj with phenol, I knew we had been involved with other [io] cyclical compounds. No. But I didn't know -- I [ii] was just concerned that we had some trouble here in [12] terms of some terminology. I did not know what the [13] article in the Swedish newspaper was really about. [14] Q: So, at the time that you received this [13] letter from Mr. Palm and he referred to [ii polychlorinated biphenols in the first ............. paragraph of [17] the letter, you knew that Monsanto did not sell [is] polychlorinated biphenols in Europe at this time, is [191 that right? [20] A: That's correct. [21] Q: And as far as you knew, at that time [221 Monsanto had never sold polychlorinated biphenols in (23] Europe, is that right? [24] A: That's correct. [23] Q: Directing your attention again to the third Page 89 in page of Mr. Palm's letter, he also told you in the [21 penultimate paragraph that, quote, we probably will pj have to register -- excuse me. Let me read that [4] again. He told you, _ quote, we probably will have to [51 have Aroclor registered with the Swedish Board of [6] Poisonous Substances and the industry will have to pjbe particularly careful in handling the material, ra correct? [9] A: That is what he wrote. I didn't agree with [io] what he wrote. (in Q: But based on what he wrote, you understood [121 Mr. Palm to be assuming that the subject of the [i3] Swedish research was polychlorinated biphenyls which D4i was manufactured by Monsanto at this time, is that [is] correct? [i6] A: I assumed that he had made a mental leap. I [17] thought he was being very responsible in reporting [lsjthis event to us, and determined in my own mind that [i9j this was something that we had to find out what the (20] Swedish researchers were talking about, was it or pu was it not associated with a product Monsanto pq manufactured, along with other manufacturers in [23] Europe at that time, and to determine what would be [241 an appropriate course of action depending on the [23] substantive nature and supportability of the Page 85 - Page 89 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314)241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024796 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY work Page 90 in that the Swedish people were reporting, if, indeed, pi it were related to a product that Monsanto [3] manufactured. [4i Q: Are you aware of any other substances that [5i were manufactured by Monsanto at this time that were [6i registered with the Swedish Board of Poisonous pi Substances? [8] A: No. pi Q: So this would have been a first if Mr. Palm [loi was correct, is that right? [i ii A: If Mr. Palm were correct, then -- and if, [12] indeed, the products that were being found in Sweden [13] had been our products or had been chlorinated [i4] biphenyls, at which time they could have been -- [is] and probably, you know, had to have been somebody pq else's chlorinated biphenyls, then should they be 1171 registered with die Swedish Board of Poisonous tig] Substances, because DDT would have been so [i9] registered, but we were not selling material as a poi pesticide, so this letter was full of suppositions pi) which foundations had to be established around for [221 Monsanto to determine what was the appropriate [23] course of action. 124] Q: Sitting here today with the benefit of pq hindsight, you know now that Mr. Palm's supposition Page 91 in that Monsanto's Aroclors were-- strike that, pi Sitting here today with the benefit of hindsight, piyou know that Mr. Palm's supposition that [4| polychlorinated biphenyls were the subject of the [q Swedish study was correct, is that right? [6i MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. pi A: I'd like the question repeated, because I [8i thought you got it wrong the first time and I think [9i you got it wrong the second time. But I'd like to [iog answer the question. [in MR. DUFF: Could you please repeat the [121 question. [13] (The requested portion of the (i<q record read by the reporter). [15] MR. CHAMBERS: Same objection. But you may pq respond if you're able to. [i7i A: I can't say that his supposition was (is) correct. [i9] MR. DUFF: And how was he mistaken? poi A: Well, again, I'm trying to wend my way back pi] through a very detailed question. I mean, if, [221 indeed, chlorinated biphenyls were what Soren Jensen [23] had found, were they of Monsanto or a European pq competitor's manufacture as prime polychlorinated pq biphenyls, had they escaped into the environment or Page 92 01 been detected through ineffective sampling in the pj particular series of studies which Soren Jensen pi carried out, a number of, still, hypothetical i<\ things. So, no, even in hindsight, I still have to [5] maintain the Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 position that what I gained from here [q was evidence that something had been found in Sweden pi and it was appropriate that Monsanto found out what [8] exactly had been found in Sweden, and on the basis pi of that discovery, talking scientist to scientist, [ioi could we then determine what action, if any, were [1 u necessarily related to Monsanto' s actions in the [121 Swedish marketplace. We certainly couldn't talk to [i3]the French, Italian or German producers' position. [i4i Q: Are you aware if polychlorinated biphenols [i5j were ever discovered as accumulating in the [iq environment in Sweden? [17] A: No. [is] Q: The article that Mr. Palm translates for you [i9i in his letter of November 28, 1966 describes the poi substances that were the subject of the Swedish pi] research, is that right? [22] A: The letter describes some statements that [23] were made in the media, accurately reported or not, pq of what was reported to the media, about the [251 presence of a class of substances which they used Page 93 in the term PCB, which I want to emphasize was not [2i currently in use at that time anywhere in the world pi related to polychlorinated biphenyls. It uses the [4] term PCB to describe polychlorinated biphenols, a [5i class of chemicals with which I was not familiar, [q and describes some applications of these materials, m which I don't know what the source of that [8] information was. So, again, my analysis of the [91 report in this letter was, again, as I stated [ioi earlier, that there's something going on here pi] related to a class of chlorinated compounds which [121 seems to be an industrial use, and as a supplier of [13] a chlorinated material in industrial use it behooves [14] us to find out what it is these people are talking (iq about as scientists, what they have done, and what pq they have determined. [i7i Q: In this letter you learned from Mr. Palm [is] that the Swedish paper that he was translating for (i9i you indicated that the substance that was the poi subject of the Swedish research was not manufactured pij in Sweden, but was used in the industry. What did [221 you understand him to mean by that? [23j A: That the -- whatever chemical it was that [24i they were talking about was not manufactured in [251 Sweden and that it had industrial rather than Page 94 in agricultural uses. pi Q: How were phenols used in the Swedish timber pi industry at this time? [4i A: I don't know. [5i Q: Do you know that they were? iq A: I can't answer the question as you asked it, pi because you relate to -- you asked me if phenols pi were used, you did not say Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

I [9] do not know of applications of phenol in timber, [io] then or now, but, then, I've not really been widely [in exposed to agriculture. Do I know that chlorinated [i2] phenols were used in the timber industry? Yes, they [i3i were extensively. Were they being used in Sweden at [i4] that time? I don't know. [15] Q: Are chlorinated phenols considered to be [16] poisonous? [17] A: They became to be considered as poisonous. [i8] What their consideration was in November of 1966,1 [i9] don't recall. [2D] Q: Are chlorinated phenols closely related to pu DDT, chemically speaking? [22] A: As closely as chlorinated biphenyls are. [23] Q: Would phenols break down considerably slower m than DDT? PS] A: I haven't looked at the biodegradation rates Page 95 in of chlorinated phenols. p] Q: Do you have an understanding? P] A: I would expect them to -- a heavily [4] chlorinated green structure would be normally fairly [5] slow to break down. The fact that chlorinated tq phenols had a wide currency of use as timber pi preservatives with long life said that they would pj break down slowly. So, chlorinated phenols would [9] tend to be fairly slow in breakdown. [io] Q: Would phenols -- strike that. Would [in chlorinated phenols give rise to damage of the liver [i2] and skin? [i3j MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [i4 A: Well, I don't know. I was never heavily [i5] involved with chemistry or the commercialization of [iq chlorinated phenols. [i7] MR. DUFF: Do you know if chlorinated [isi phenols were used as a herbicide? _ [19] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. --- [20] A: I was never involved actively with the pu commercialization of chlorinated phenols, so when p2iyou say was it used as herbicides, no, I said I knew [23] that they were used, as many people know they were paused, in the timber preservation area. [25] MR. DUFF: Do you know how they were used in .___________________ _Page 96 [i] the timber preservation area? PI A: Coated, as a paint, as a type of stain to pi preserve the timber. And that's not just timber in m the forest, I -- [siQ: Do you mean preservation of timber for use [] of wood in products such as iumiture, is that what m you mean? pi A: No, I don't. No. I mean -- I don't know pi where your beautiful home is, but if you have a deck (i<q on it and you had built a deck with pine, then up [in until some years ago I could almost guarantee that [i2]as a prudent house owner your deck would have had [i3] chlorinated phenol protection of your deck, so TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY that [M] your fine home did not fall apart around your ears [i5i after five years. [i6] Q: So, did chlorinated phenol serve as a [i7i sealant or something along those lines or was it -- [is] did the serve some other -- [i9] A: Wood preservative. If you go to your local [20] timber store, I'm sure they'll have cans of stuff pi] today which they will call wood preservatives. Now, [221 I'll pretty well guarantee you that they don't [23] contain a chlorinated phenol, but, I mean, you are [24] using it. And if you are an owner of a home with [25] deck or exposed wood, be it fence work, fence line, Page 97 in that you will normally add a timber preservative. [21 That is not normally as a sealant, it's a sealant, a pi moisture repellent tends to protect against beatle [4] eating and all these sorts of things.

[4j A: No. [5] Q: Do you know if chlorinated phenols were used iq as lubricating oils to be used at a high temperature [7] and pressure? [8] A: No. [9j Q: Do you know if chlorinated phenols were used [ioj as paint, or in paint? [in A: I know that they were. mi Q: Do you know if chlorinated phenols were used [13] as pigments in plastics? [14] A: No. [is] Q: You don't know, is that what your answer is? [iq As I don't know whether they were or they [i7] weren't. As I was not aware that chlorinated [i8i biphenyls were used in pigments in plastics. (iq Q: Are you familiar with a man named Dr. A.V. [20] Holden of Scotland? Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 pi] A: No. [22] Q: I'd like to direct your attention again to [23] the penultimate paragraph of Mr. Palm's letter. In m this paragraph he states, quote, "I understand that psi there hardly exists a convenient method of Page 101 [1] destroying Aroclor and that possibly burying [2] unusable material may be the only answer". [3] Unquote. Is that correct? 14] A: That's what he states in his letter. [5]Q: Was that consistent with your understanding [q regarding disposal of Aroclor at that time? Pi A: At that time, our recommendation for [8] disposing of spilled polychlorinated biphenyls was [9] to stabilize it by absorption on to diatomaceous [101 earth and then containment and then burial. [11] Q: Is that diatomaceous? [12] A: Oh, boy, here we go with my spelling. [13] D-i-a-t-o-m-a-c-e-o-u-s. [14] Q: And what is diatomaceous earth? [iq A: A highly absorbent clay material. [iq Q: Is it also sometimes known as Fullers Earth? [17] A: Fullers Earth is a highly pure form of [iq diatomaceous clay. I would not necessarily use [i9] Fullers Earth as an absorbent for burial purposes, m There are some slightly more economical diatomaceous pu earths available. Fullers Earth was used in [221 processing dielectrics as a purification media, it [23] was a highly pure material. [24] Q: Where would one obtain diatomaceous earth in pq 1966? Page 102 [i]A: Oh, all over the place. It was readily -pj available. p] Q: Would one dig it up on their own property or [4] purchase it from a vendor? iq A: No, you'd purchase it from a vendor, tq Q: In 1966 did you recommend to your dielectric m fluid customers that they use diatomaceous earth in [8] disposal of spilled fluids? Pi A: Yes. [ioj Q: Please mark this as Exhibit 274. [ii] ( Plaintiff's Exhibit 274 [12] marked for identification). [13] MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, I'm handing you a [14] document that's been marked as Plaintiff s Exhibit [tq 274. It bears production number STR 017390. Do you [iq recognize this document? [i7] A: Yes, I do. [iq Q: Could you please identify this document for [19] the record? poi A: Yes. This is a letter that I wrote from pi] Brussels on the 1st of December 1966, and this was [22] addressed to George Buchanan in St. Louis. So, I [23] spoke in error earlier when I said I wrote to Paul pq Benignus, I wrote to George Buchanan. Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

[8] Q: In fact, that's what you did, is that pi correct? (loi A: Yes. [iilQ: Who is Mr. Buchanan at this time? [i2i A: Mr. Buchanan was one of the senior [isj executives in the fluids group, and was a supervisor [i4i of Paul Benignus. [15] Q: Was Mr. Buchanan the director of the lie) functional fluids group at this time? [i7i A: I don't remember what his role was, 8] exactly. There were a couple of changes going on in [i9] the U.S. organization. The precise role that George [201 had at that point in time, I don't recall. ................................ ...... pu Q: Was Mr. Buchanan the most senior person with [221 whom you were familiar in the fluids group at this P3i time? BA A; No. [25] Q: Who was senior to Mr. Buchanan? Page 104 in A: I said, you know, this is what -- I think pi Mr. Cunningham was senior to Mr. Buchanan. Mr. pj Buchanan, I seem to recall, had been in Europe that [4] summer, and so since I hadn't sent this to Paul, I [5] sent it to George because he had been in Europe the [<si most recently. pi Q: And in this letter to Mr. Buchanan, pi directing your attention to the second paragraph, [9] you wrote to him, quote, "Based on the [io] recommendations made by our - medical departments we mi shall have to decide whether to arrange for [^publication of data in Sweden or not". Correct? [is] A: I say that in the second paragraph. [Mi Q: What did you mean by that? [15] A: I meant that once we found out exactly what [i6i it is that the Swedish scientific community is [171 talking about, if it were to turn out that it is a [is] polychlorinated biphenyl, then we will have to [i9j consider publishing the appropriate medical [20] background information that we have, so that there pi] is a factual record of what polychlorinated pzi biphenyls do or don't do. But, as I said, but that [231 will be based on the recommendations made by our [241 medical departments, and depending on what we find [25] out about the accuracy of the research work being ;Page 105 in done in Sweden. I mean, I think it makes it quite [21 clear if you -- I would like, in responding to that pi last question, to comment on my ps, where I relate [4] back to the fact TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY that, you know, are we mdeed [5j talking about . products with which we are associated [6] or are we talking with the outcome of release of pi 4 much larger quantities of pentachlorophenol and [s] sodium pentachlorophenol from the - industrial timber pi cultivation in Sweden. Very large industry in [101 Sweden is timber, mi Q: What were the recommendations that were made [121 by the medical department? > [13] A: Find out what the people in Sweden are [14] talking about. ns] Q: When were those recommendations made? ~ [i6i A: I, probably at the same time as I was \yi\ sending this letter to George Buchanan, and after [i8i receiving the November 28th letter , from Ola Palm, [i9] would have talked to D. V.N. Hardy in London, and as [201 my product safety medical advisor in Europe, and [2i] before I had written that letter, because when I'm [223 talking about based on the recommendation by our [23] medical department, I'm talking about die European emi medical department. .... .......... * [25i Q: Actually, I think you use the plural of Page 106 pi departments, did you mean by that both the medical ezi department in Europe and also the " medical department pi in St. Louis? [4] A: No. I meant the medical department in [5i Europe. I had a Belgian secretary who inadvertently [6] did make typing mistakes when she was writing pi English letters. [8i Q: And did there come a time when Monsanto did [9] publish data in Sweden relating to polychlorinated [i<q biphenyls? [in As Not in die period that I was involved with [121 the dielectric fluids in Europe. [i3] Q: Are you aware if Monsanto ever published P4i data in Sweden relating to polychlorinated [i5] biphenyls? [i6i A: I'm going to have to ask you to clarify what [i7] you mean by published. [181Q: Well, you used the term in this letter. [i9] A: And I can tell you what I meant -- I can [201 tell you what I mean by the term published, but I [2i] asked you, in answering the question, so I don't C22j mislead you, what you were ,, asking in your question. [23] Q: That's fair. And I would repeat to you to [24) ask me to clarify if you don't understand [25i something. - __________________ Page 107 [i]A: Yes. pi Q: Maybe we can start by, what did you mean pj when you used the word publication in the second [41 paragraph of this letter to Mr. Buchanan? [5] A: When I talk about publication, it's if we [6] reach a point where there is concern in ~ Sweden about pi a product which is a chlorinated biphenyl, and not isi something else, then we would probably need to talk ra with the Swedish authorities and say do we Page 102 - Page 107 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314)241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024800 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY need to cioi publish in terms of communicate data to the users of mi chlorinated biphenyl in its various industrial [121 applications, do we need to communicate it more [is] broadly to people who are using their products, do [hi we need to communicate information to the public at [i5] large. And we would be guided, to a certain extent, [13 by relevant discussions with the Swedish [17] authorities. But, I mean, this would depend on, [is] again, what was really happening in Sweden. Nothing [19] worse than somebody running into a cinema and poj calling fire. I guess that's a theory which you as a 121] lawyer are familiar with. [22] Q: I move to strike the last sentence as [23] non-responsive. After the date of the letter that [24] you sent to Mr. Buchanan, when was the first [25] publication of data in Sweden related to Page 108 . [i] polychlorinated biphenyls? pi A: Repeat the question, pi (The requested portion of the [4] record read by the reporter). [5] A: We had already published industrial hygiene [i data about polychlorinated biphenyls in Sweden in m support of the sale of our polychlorinated biphenyl m products in Sweden. Our competition, equally, had pj published data in support of the use of their [i<q chlorinated biphenyls in Sweden. When did we [ill publish something additionally? I don't know. I [12] mean, did we or didn't we? I'm not saying that we [13] didn't, but when it happened, I don't know. And in [14] what form it took. I tried to clarify a sequence [i5] and scale of events, and - [13 Q: In the third paragraph you wrote, "In [17] relation to the specific problem mentioned of [is] disposal 'of materials, we would be interested to [19] learn how this problem is handled in America", poj Correct? pi] As Yes. [22] Q: I'm sorry, your answer? [23] A: I said yes. [24i Qs How were you informed that the disposal [25] problem was handled in America? Page 109 in A: That they essentially were dealing with the tn problem in the way that they recommended it be pi handled in the technical brochures that supported [4] our product, which was absorption into absorbent [5] earth. I see I use the term vermiculite or some [3 similar pourous material. But, essentially, in both pi cases we're talking about using earth or a pourous [g] material to stabilize the liquid, then encapsulating pj in a drum and then -- you know, what you were no] telling people to do in England is, indeed, in line, [in we've not moved further than that at this point in [12] time. [i3] Q: That's what they told you after you wrote [i4] this letter? [i5] A: You asked a question and this was, right on, [13 that's what we tell people to do. [i7] Q: And what was the response to your Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 question [isihas any entirely safe method been developed for uti disposal of waste Aroclor? [20] A: They -- as I recall, they responded at that pi] point, sort of saying (hat this was the recommended [22] form of disposal at this point in time. [23] Q: And were you told that absorption into [24] vermiculite or absorbent earth was an entirely safe ps] method of disposal? Page HO [i] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form, pj A: No. I can respond to that question in the [3] spirit in which I asked it in the first place. I [4] sort of say in the U.K. many companies were burying [5] materials in drums, having been absorbed in [3 appropriate pourous material. Has an entirely safe pi method been developed for disposal of waste [8] Aroclor? I meant something which totally destroys pj it. And I think that since there wasn't a method, [io] they sort of said the recommendation for the U.K. is [ii] -- did they sort of classify that method as being [12] unsafe or entirely safe? No, they didn't. They [i3jsaid it's appropriate. [i4] Q: So, in asking the question which you have [is] set out in the last sentence of your letter -- [13 strike that. In answering -- strike that. In asking [17] the question that you set out in the last sentence [is] of the third paragraph of your letter, you meant has (19] any method been developed pursuant to which waste [20] Aroclor could be totally destroyed, is that correct? pi] A: That's what I meant by entirely safe. I [22] mean, you break it down to its primary carbons and (23] oxygens and -- [24] Q: And the response to that question was that [25] waste Aroclor should be disposed of by absorption ____________________ _____ Page 111 in into vermiculite or another absorbent earth pi material, is that right? Pi MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. Go [4] ahead. [5] A: Well, again, we can keep on answering this [3 question time and time again, if that's what is pj required to impress it. But I was answered that m that was at that point in time the appropriate (9) method of disposal of waste Aroclor. no] Q: Who is A. Arpino? (in A: Adolph Arpino was a colleague in Brussels [12] who at that point in time was part of my sales (13] group. He was selling Aroclors. He was an Italian [i4] living in Belgium, ns] Q: Excuse me. Did you finish your answer? (13 A: I believe I did. Just before you -- I don't [i7] know whether you heard it over Kevin's interruption, [is] You did? Good. [i?i Q: Why did you send a copy of this letter to po] Mr. Aipino? pi] A: Because Mr. Arpino, as I was assuming more (221 of the product management role in Aroclors, was to [23] have a greater involvement Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

[4] A: Yes, I did. [31Q: What was Dr. Emmet Kelly's position at that [6] time? [7] A: He was the medical advisor to the Monsanto [si group in St. Louis. Pi Q: Was he also the director of the medical lid) department at that time? [it] A: Yes, he was. I copied him at the suggestion [izjof Dr. Hardy in London. [13] Q: And, in fact, you sent a copy of this as [14] reflected in the top of this letter to Dr. Hardy, is [is] that correct? [mi A: Yes. I think it would have been [i7i inappropriate had I talked to him and then taken [is] action on his suggestion and not let him know what I [i9] had done. [2] Q: So after you spoke - I'd like to just step pi] back a minute here. After you spoke with Ola Palm [221 and received the letter from Ola Palm, you then p3] spoke to Dr. Hardy, is that right? [24] A: Yes. Yes, I did. [23] Q: And was that a face-to-face meeting between Page 113 myou and Dr. Hardy? in A: No. He was in London, I was in Brussels. pi Q: So, did you call Dr. Hardy or write him a [4] letter? [5] A: Yes, I did. No, I called him. [lQ: And what did you and Dr. Hardy. discuss in m that phone call? pi A: The fact that I had received this report.[9] Did he know anything about a Swedish study. No, he hoi didn't. What were the implications. And got his [ii] response, "David, you're doing exactly the right an thing we need to find out what this is all about". [13] Q: What were the implications that you and Dr. [i4] Hardy discussed? [iq A: I asked him for guidance. I was fairly new [i<] to product management in Monsanto, and I sort of tm said look, we've got a report from a country which [is] reports finding a product that we, amongst other [19] European manufacturers, supply to that country, it's po] not clear whether they really are talking about our [21] product or not. If they are, then -- and, indeed, [221 they are finding it, then what's our understanding [23] of how this could have entered the environment. You [24] know, tell me what I should be doing as good p3] practice at this point in time to follow up on this ;Page 114 [i] loose and wooly report from Sweden. And his (2) recommendation was find out what the TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY scientists are pj talking about. [4] Q: And then he recommended that you send a [3] letter to Mr. Buchanan, is that right? [61 A: No. He recommended that I report this to pi St. Louis, and whoever I chose to send it to in St. pj Louis, that I copy Dr. Emmet Kelly, who was his [9] opposite number, essentially, or senior opposite [ioj number in St. Louis, so that he would have the [ii]benefit of saying David talked to me and he kept you [121 informed, also, of what he had heard from Sweden, [i3jand let's discuss this. [i4] Q: You also copied R. A. Steenrod? [13] A: Yes. [16] Q: And who was R. A. Steenrod? [17] A: Dick Steenrod was in a position in the [is] fluids group at that time not unsimilar to that [i9] which I assumed when I went to St. Louis much later, pojin 1974, of having an international type of pi] responsibility, so that -- [22] Q: Was he the international marketing manager [23] for fluids? [24] A: I can't comment whether he was international [23] marketing assistant or international marketing Page 115 [i] supervisor, but he had an international pi responsibility for some international coordinating, pi If I were to want a series of new bulletins or [41 something like that, I would probably go to Steenrod [3] to ask him for that, and, therefore, as a courtesy, [6] since he was another of my regular contacts on the Pi business in Europe, as reporting back to the U.S., I pj had no reporting responsibility or alignment to pi Steenrod, but as a courtesy we tried to work as a [ioj team and keep each other communicated with. [in Q: Please mark this as Exhibit 275. [12] ( Plaintiffs Exhibit 275 [13] marked for identification). [14] MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, this document has been [iq marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit 275. Please take a [i] moment to review it. For the record, it bears [17] production number TRAN 056624. Have you had a list moment to review this document? [i9i A: Yes. po] Q: Can you identify that document for the pi] record? [22] A: This is a letter from Dr. Emmet Kelly in St. p3] Louis, dated December the 12th, in response to his p4] copy of my letter to George Buchanan of the 1st of psi December that we reviewed. Page 116 [i] Q: This is in 1966 as well? pi A: It is in 1966, yes. [3]Q: I'd like to direct your attention to the [4] third paragraph of this letter.

You read well, tio] Q: He went on to say, quote, "Our only problem mi is whether or not we want to bring these facts up [121 and have our herbicide program receive another black [i3j eye. This I will leave to your judgment". Correct? [hi A: That's what the letter states. [is] Q: What did he mean by the last two sentences? [161 MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [i7i MR. DUFF: Were you familiar with how [i8j Monsanto's herbicide program had received a black [i9] eye previously? 1201 A: No, I wasn't. pu Q: So you did not know what Dr. Kelly was [221 referring to here, is that right? [23] A: That is correct. [24] Q: But he was telling you that there was [25] something he was going to leave to your judgment, is Page 117 [ij that correct? [21 A: That was obviously an assessment which he pi made erroneously, because I wasn't in a position to [4] make that judgment. [5i Q: Did you contact him after you received this [6] to tell him that you didn't know what he was talking m about? [8i A: I can't remember what action I took next. [9i It will probably emerge from the record. But I [101 really can't remember whether I took him up on that [i ij one, because it seemed, again, to be saying, again, inhere - the most important point in this letter to [131 me as I read it was -- [i4] Q: Actually, that's not the question I asked. [i5i A: Oh, okay. Then we don't want to get what we (ii intended by this. Okay. I'm sorry. Did I answer [17] your question? I start rambling. I think I did. :_ [i8i Q: I believe so. Let me just ask -- let me [i9ijust ask this question and then if -- maybe it's oo] sufficient to move on after this. I guess you said pij you didn't recall what you did after you received [221 this letter from Dr. Kelly, is that right? [23] A: That's correct. No, it's not correct. I'm [24] sorry, I can't allow that to go. Because my [25] previous answer was responsive, because you asked me Page 118 [i] if I recalled what I did when I got this, and pi Q: In the context of the third paragraph, pi A: I essentially ignored the third paragraph [4] and concentrated on the fourth paragraph, which [si suggested we find out what the Swedish scientists [4 were talking about. mQ: Okay. Pi A: So I did what I responsibly previously pi considered I should be doing, discounting the fact [icq that I couldn't help with paragraph three. Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9,1995 in) Q: And were you the person in Europe primarily [121 -- strike that. Were you the person within [i3i Monsanto who was primarily responsible for [14] determining what the Swedish study related to? [is] A: No. [161Q: Who was? [i7i A: This was a joint responsibility of myself [is] and Dr. Hardy. [pi Q: So were you and Dr. Hardy - [20] A: And it would include, in my area of pu responsibility, that I include some of our research [221 department. I mean, so, ultimately, as product p3] manager, just to make this clear, the product m manager role in a company such as Monsanto, you have (25] an overall accountability for the product line. So, Page 119 diwas it my responsibility? Yes. Could I do it pi alone? No. Who had to be involved? Myself and pi some of my colleagues. It was my accountability to [4] make sure I got them involved. [si Q: At the end of 1966, after you had received [6] the correspondence from Mr. Palm, did you undertake pj to research scientific publications to see if there [si had been anything else published in this area? [9i A: Personally, no, I did not make that [ioj undertaking that I would make that study. I [in undertook that I would have people within Monsanto [i2iask some questions around their networks in this [i3j scientific community and see if there had been other [hi work done of a similar nature. Particularly Dr. [151 Hardy. [161Q: So, was Dr. Hardy given the responsibility [17] to see what other scientific publications were usi saying on the subject of chlorinated compounds (191 accumulating in the environment at this time? po] A: Was he given the accountability? No, he pi] assumed and undertook that he would. And I think [221 further correspondence that we may come across will [23] show that he did that. [24] Q: Was it your understanding that that was [2si something that he was going to be responsible for? Page 120 diA: Yes. [2i Q: Who was responsible for seeing what play the pj Swedish study received in the press and scientific [4] publications? [5i MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [6i A: I don't think we undertook, in the terms [7i that you're using, to sort of say what play the [8] press will make. I was certainly alert, and I pi talked to colleagues, I said this is a strange 1101 article, and I was still categorizing it as this [instrange article appeared in Sweden and we're trying [121 to get more information about it.

Was anyone within iaq Monsanto monitoring or following the publicity that pi] was given to the Swedish work? [22] A: I was -- I had asked Ola Palm to let me [23] know if there were any follow-up articles or [24] anything else published in Sweden as a result of the ps] article. There was no concerted European-wide ^__________________________Page 121 in program to monitor the public media channels. I [2] know that Dr. Hardy, in terms of his discussions pi within the U.K. technical community, intended to m sort of ask people if they were aware of any other [S] scientific publication which related to the [6] ' Jensen-Widmark work. P] Q: Did you read scientific publications as a [8] regular part of your business at this time? [9] A: I'm going to ask you to be a little............ clearer [io] in defining scientific publications. There are a [iii range of levels of scientific publication. . [12] Q: Was it your habit to read technical journals [i3] on scientific issues during the period 1966? [14] A: I would routinely read Chemical Week, [15] Chemical Engineering News. I would read trade [i6]journals associated with the electrical industry. I \\t\ would read New Scientist. I would read Nature. As [ig] a genuinely interested person who had received an [i9| education and training as a scientist.

[iqA: No, I don't. [in Q: What was your opinion of New Scientist TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY [i8i magazine in December 1966? [i9] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. m A: I believe that it was, in scientific pi] integrity, somewhere middle of the road. They [22] weren't always accurate. Did they do a fairly good p3| screening of other publications, both above them and p4] below them on the technology scale to see if there pj] were areas of scientific interest? Yes, they did. Page 123 [i] So, they were not the most impressive magazine in [21 the area, but I found them useful in keeping p] up-to-date with some new and different thinking. [4] Q: And this was one of the publications that [5] you read regularly at this time, is that correct? [6i A: I didn't take -- I was not a subscriber. If Pi I saw a copy around the office, I would tend to [si browse it. So I'm not a faithful reader, but -- [9i Q: Do you know if Monsanto subscribed to this [io] publication? Hi] A: No, I don't.---------------------------------- ------- [121Q: I don't mean this to be redundant over the [i3] last question, but what type of articles would New [14] Scientist publish in 1966? [i5i MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [t6j A: I didn't read them frequently enough to be [i7] able to categorize types of articles at that period [is] in time. I'd be sort of misleading you if I said I [i9] did. m Q: Do you disagree with the description of the pi] Swedish research as it's described in this P2] publication? [23] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. m A: like I said, I've never seen this before, ps] Okay? So, I mean, you want me to spend time now. Page 124 [i] read it and tell you whether today I disagree with p]it? I couldn't have disagreed with it then because p]I didn't see it then. Where do you want to go with w this? [5] Q: I'11 ask you another question. [6] A: Please. p] Q: Please mark this as Exhibit 277. [8] ( Plaintiff's Exhibit 277 pi marked for identification). no] MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, this document has been [in marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit 277 and bears 1121 production number TRAN 056035. [13] A: Yes. . [14] Q: Are you familiar with this document? [is] As No. [i6] Q: This document is dated December 29, 1966, [i7] correct? [is] A: That's the way it's dated. [i9i Q: Do you recall if you've seen this document [201 before? pi] A: I know I haven't. [22] Q: Were you aware that -- is it Gunnar Widmark m\ visited Monsanto in St. Louis in Page 120 - Page 124 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024804 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY (24) A: I was not aware of that. (25i Q: Did I pronounce that name correctly, do you dlknow? Page 125 p] A: Gunnar. He would have probably used avid, pi V sound, "Vidmark". W Q: Do you know what the phenolic composition of [5] TCP means? [6i MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. Pi A: I know nothing about this letter. I don't pi know what the subject of the meeting with Mr. Ford pjwas. [ioi Q: Do you know who Mr. Ford was? [ill A: I don't. I mean, over my career with [121 Monsanto I'm aware of certain gentlemen by the name [131 of Mr. Ford who worked for Monsanto. Which this [i4] particular one was, I don't know for sure. [is] Q: Do you know what TCP is? ` [i6] A: I associate TCP with a phosphate chemistry. ini Q: And what phosphate chemistry do you [is] associate that with? [is] A: Tricresyl phosphate. [20] Q: Did Monsanto use tricresyl phosphate in any (21] of its functional fluids at this time? [22i A: I don't think we did. And that's why, you [23] know, I'm a bit thrown by this. [24i Q: Do you know if Monsanto used tricresyl [25] phosphate in any of the products it manufactured at Hi this time? Page 126 pi A: No, I don't. Pi Q: Were you aware that employees of Monsanto [4] had furnished Widmark with samples of Monsanto [5] material for purposes of conducting analytical iq investigations? m A: And again, I have not had a chance to read pi this and see what samples he claims to have received pi or asked for or what. [ioi Q: I understand that you earlier testified you [inhadn't seen this document before, so I'm going to [121ask you independent of this document if you were [13] aware that employees of Monsanto furnished Widmark [14] with samples of Monsanto material for the purpose of [i5i conducting analytical investigations? [i6] A: No. " ini Q: Who was Gunnar Widmark? [is] A: Gunnar Widmark was either a full professor [iq or an adjunct professor at the Carolinska Institute po] in Stockholm, and was the person who was supervising [21] the work of Soren Jensen, whose name is associated 12% with the report that we've been discussing [23] intermminably. [24] Q: Have you ever spoken with Mr. Widmark? [25] A: Yes, I have. Page 127 in Q: When did you first speak with Mr. Widmark? ci I'm sorry, is it Doctor or Mr. Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9,1995 Widmark, do you know? [3] A: I thought he was a Doctor. [4i Q: When did you first speak with Dr. Widmark? [5] A: It was either very late in 1966 or earlyish [6] in 1967. Pi Q: What did you speak with Dr. Widmark [8] regarding? Pi A: About the report that had been published [ioi under the joint authorship of himself as sponsor and [ii] Soren Jensen as researcher. [i2] Q: And do you recall specifically what he said [i3] to you? [i4] A: Specifically, not. I mean, I'm sure I wrote [is] a report of that discussion, but I don't recall [i6i after 30 years specifically the way the conversation [17] went. [i8i Q: Do you recall any of the details of your [19] conversation with him? [20] A: I remember that he -- he was expressing pi] some concern that what he felt had been very good [22] work done by Soren Jensen had been abused for [23] commercial purposes by the people who had helped him [24] with the supply of equipment to the extent that ps] before they had professionally published the work Page 128 [i] that it had received public review through the pi media, through the newspaper, with Soren Jensen as a [3] less than totally mature scientist making comments [4] in response to questions from the press which lay [5] outside his area of expertise. He was very proud of m Jensen's analytical work and less than proud of his pi publicity. [8] Q: Do you recall anything else that was said in [9] your conversation with Widmark? do] A: I think he made some requests for some [ii] additional samples of isomeric materials which he [12] felt would be helpful in furthering their research [13] efforts. And he asked us if he ultimately would [i4j present -- give us copies of the papers, the [15] scientific background papers, that we not -- that [i] we not publish them, that they be strictly sort of [i7] confidential between -- you know, this isn't a [is] question -- as an academic scientist, we could [19] understand where he was coming from. You don't want [20] to do three years of work and then have it pi] pre-published in some sense by another party. [22] Q: And did you make arrangements for him to p3] receive the isomeric materials that he requested? [24] A: No, I requested them, and was advised that [25] these were not readily available materials. And, Page 129 [i] again, I think it needs to be mentioned that when [2] you manufacture chlorinated biphenyls commercially, pjyou take the -- you take benzene and you stick two m benzene rings together to make biphenyl, and then [5] you chlorinate the biphenyl and you get a mixture Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 124 - Page 129 WATER PCB-SD0000024805 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 () that comes out, depending on the temperature and the pi time for which you chlorinate. And that mixture is pi a mixture of a lot of different materials which are m the two benzene rings stuck together with chlorines [toi attached in various places. What Widmark was [ill looking for was a biphenyl core with chlorines in [12] specific places in specific numbers around that [131 biphenyl core. So Monsanto's commercial production [i4] would never produce such an animal, and you'd have [is] to get into a veiy sophisticated and special [i6] synthesis to make each and eveiy one differently. [in Q: Was he looking for for pure isomers? [is] A: Yes, he was looking for pure isomers, ns] Q: And Monsanto produced -- [20] A: Isomeric mixtures, pi] Q: Isomeric mixtures, which were characterized m by a percentage of chlorination by weight, is that [23] correct? [24] A: Yes. [25] Q: Where there might be variations on the ...--------------------- Page 130 [i] number of chlorine attached to the benzene rings, is m that right? Pi A: A mixture which was categorized as being 54 [4] percent chlorine by weight, which we within Monsanto [3] would designate as Aroclor 1254, would have a [6] mixture of biphenyl with two chlorines on the ring, m three chlorines on the ring, four chlorines on the pi ring. Most of it would peak around about five [9] chlorines on the ring. You would then have six [iaq chlorines on the ring, seven chlorines, eight [it]chlorines. It wouldn't have much of that percentage [12] that was getting up to sort of the complete [13] chlorination. But there would be a mixture. And if [i4j you consider the number of combinations of putting [is] three chlorines on the double ring, you- know, within ni that mixture there would probably be 10 or 15 [i7j various forms of the three chlorine on the two [is] rings. So, it was a very complex mixture. [19] Q: Are you familiar with the names that are [20] handwritten on the left -- upper left margin of this pi] document? I'm referring to Exhibit 277. [22] A: I know the -- you're talking -- the first [23] one on this list appears to be J.R. Darby, the [24] second one appears to be F.M. Parks, and the third [23] one I can't make out. Page 131 [i] Q: Are you familiar with these individuals? Pi A: I knew of Joe Darby. I never worked with p] Joe. [4] Q: Who was Joe Darby? [3] A: Joe Darby was for many years involved with (6| Monsanto's plasticizer program, and that's -- when I n was looking at this letter and I saw they were pi talking about TCP, because the tricresyl phosphate [9] had some currency at that point in time as (101 plasticizer TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY products, and so that's why -- this is (111 a whole different department within Monsanto and, (i2| boy, I mean, here we seem to have a classic left (i3]hand not talking to the right hand. [i4] Q: Are you surprised that you did not see this [is] letter at about the time it was -- [16] A: Chagrined, perhaps. Surprised, no. I mean, [17] you get a large company like a Monsanto or duPont, a [is] Ford, General Motors, and, you know, these are very [19] large organizations, and you wish you could claim [20] that your communications were so strong that you [21] would always sort of be involved in what you need to [22] be involved in. But, am I surprised? No. [23] Q: When you met with Widmark in December of '66 [24] or January of '67, did he mention to you that he had 125] met with Monsanto people previously? ____________ ;________ Page 132 [1]A: No, he didn't. [2] Q: Did he mention that he had spoken with pi anybody at Monsanto previously? [4] A: No. .......... " ` ....... [3] Q: When you met with Widmark at that time, did [6] anybody else attend that meeting? [7] A: Ola Palm. I didn't know how well Professor pj Widmark spoke English. I assumed that as a well [9] educated Swede that he did speak English. But I, [ioj therefore, did not want to not have Ola Palm there [it] to make sure that we were able to appropriately [12] communicate. [13] Q: Did you meet in Stockholm? [14] A: Yes, we did. [is]MR.

He doesn't -- I didn't see a pi point in here where Dr. Hardy discusses whether he pi is in agreement with Richardson's conclusions. I no] mean, he states that he discussed with Richardson [iii the Soundness of Jensen's claims and was assured by [121 Richardson that Richardson felt that the work and [131 findings of Jensen were sound.

P3] A: I recognize this as a letter which, for [24] identification purposes, I'll state was prepared by [25i me, mailed from Brussels, prepared on the 26th of Page 137 ID January 1967, on the subject of Aroclor and Sweden, [zi It was addressed, as I had addressed my earlier pj letter, to G.L.

[3| Q: Please take as much time as you need to M review this document. It may help to direct your [3] attention, just to expedite things, to the last [] paragraph of your letter, rn A: Okay. "As you will see from the press pi release", yes. I just wanted to make sure that I [9] could confirm to you that I did, 30 years ago, uoi attach a four page press release to this particular [in memorandum. [i2] Q: In this memorandum you told Mr. Buchanan [i3] that because some of the uses of the materials in [mj Jensen's study were consistent with uses of [>3] Aroclors, you made a point of visiting Jensen in [i] Sweden, is that correct? ' [i7] A: Yes. [is] Q: Did you meet with Jensen before or after you [i?i met with Widmark? [20] A: I don't recall. I can't remember------------ whether I pi] met them sequentially, separately. I just don't [22] recall the sequence. [23] Q: Do you recall if you met with them at the [24] same time? [23] A: It would have been on the same visit to Page 139 in Stockholm, let me categorize it that way. But I [2] don't recall whether it was a joint meeting, whether [3] it was a separate meeting, and if it was separate w meetings, what the sequence was. [S]Q: Do you recall who else attended the meeting pg with Dr. Jensen? P]A: Ola Palm. [8] Q: And what did you discuss with Jensen in that ra meeting? _ [io] A: I discussed how had he got into th&jii].- particular research program that he was in. Tried [i2j to find out from his perspective as the actual [i3] researcher what he felt he had found and on what [i4| basis the people who had published his work ahead of [i3] him having scientifically published it made some [i] assertions about the toxicology of the chlorinated [m residues that he was finding, ns] Q: And how did he tell you that he got into the uoi research? [2oi A: That he was looking at DDT. He started from pu the point that his work was associated from the pzi outset with DDT, that in finding some residues that p3] did not appear to be DDT he had put together a work [24] plan which he hoped would help him identify what was [25] interfering with his DDT analysis. And the work Page 140 in that he had done led him to die conclusion that he [2] was looking at a double benzene ring nucleus type pj chemical with variable amounts of chlorine scattered tq around that nucleus, TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY and that in terms of, [3] therefore, going out and trying to find what sort of ra chemicals were in commerce that had that sort of p] configuration, one of the classes of chemicals that pi he had come across were polychlorinated biphenyls, p] and that in terms of having acquired some samples of [ioj commercially available mixtures there were [nj similarities between the peaks that those materials (iq produced to the peaks that he was observing in [i3] residues, which led him to the hypothesis that what [uj he was seeing was, or was similar to polychlorinated [is] biphenyls, and then he went out to try to gain some [i] data with how were polychlorinated biphenyls used, [i7]just as backdrop to trying to begin the theorization [is] of how they might have appeared in the environment. [i9] Q: And you made clear in this memo after your po] meeting with Jensen, quote, "To eliminate any [2i] earlier confusion that there may have been, I should tzn like to emphasize that there is no doubt that the [23] chemical which is the subject of the investigation [24i and the news release is chlorinated biphenyl, i.e., [23] Aroclor", correct? Page 141 ui A: That's what I wrote. In hindsight, I should pi have expressed it slightly differently, but -- pj Q: You also told the recipients of this n memorandum that the company that supplied the mass pi spectrometer described the research program -- [] described in the press release which you attached, pi and which research was carried out by Jensen, and p] you described in clear terms how chlorinated [9] biphenyls were identified, correct? uoi As I'm sorry, take me to a paragraph, you've [ii] confiised me. I'm not sure what you're asking me [izi right now. [nj MR. CHAMBERS: I think he's just asking you no to read the document, unless I'm misunderstanding. [i3] MR. DUFF: Let me ask the question again. [i6] In this memorandum did you state that the research [i7] program -- strike that. The press release [i8] describes in clear terms how chlorinated biphenyls uoi were identified by Jensen, correct? poi MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form of the pi] question. p2] A: No, I don't believe it does. P3] MR. DUFF: Well, I direct your attention to [24] the third paragraph of your memorandum. [25] A: Yes. ;Page 142 [i] Q: Did you say with respect to the press pj release attached to this memorandum that it, quote, pj does basically describe the research program carried [4] out in Sweden and describes in clear terms how [3] chlorinated biphenyls were identified?

So it fairly [121 clearly lays out the steps that they led Jensen to mi follow, which led him to identify what he was seeing [141 as chlorinated biphenyls. [is] Q: Thank you. When you met with Jensen, did he [i] show you the instrumentation that he had used in his [17] work? [is] A: No. I don't believe he did, anyway. I [i9] mean, I don't think a lab tour was part of it, not [20] that I recall. But it would have been fairly -- I pi] mean, I knew that it was LKB Productor, that they p2] described it as a mass spectrometer. That was not [231 equipment I was familiar with, nothing would have pq been gained from me staring in any level Of awe at [25] this particular black box. I need to be able to Page 143 in report back to my professional practicing chemist 121 colleagues what equipment had been used and for them p] to talk to LKB Productor to sort of see did they [4] rate this equipment as being effective in what they [sj claimed it to be able to do. ra Q: When you met with Jensen, the point that you m made to him was the need for care in any further m publication of his work, is that right? [9i A: I tried to emphasize that we respected good [io] science, and there was an element of danger if good inj science was badly submitted for publication in that (i2| it didn't get appropriate peer review or that the (13] media drew conclusions beyond what the actual no research work itself could support, that that was in iiq nobody's best interest. : [ii Q: Were you suggesting to Jensen that he had [in badly published his earlier work? [i8i A: No. I was suggesting that LKB Productor, in [19] trying to maximize the exploitation of his excellent pq study to promote their equipment, had put together a pi] forum where misleading views were drawn and extended [221 from the professional report that Jensen had put p3] together. That's why I used the term earlier that I m thought that his professional work had been abused pq by LKB Productor. ;Page 144 in Q: When you met with Jensen he told you that he pi had been approached by several Swedish workers who pi were concerned about the effect of PCBs on their [4j health, is that right? [q A: I don't recall it. If I read the memo and I (6i report it in the memo, it is likely that we had that pj part of the conversation. Is there a particular p] paragraph that you can help me refresh my memory? . Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 Pi Q: Yes. I'll direct your attention to the top [io] of the second page of your memo, the first [in paragraph. [i2i A: And, so, can you ask the question again? I [13] can probably respond better now. [14] Q: Certainly. Please repeat the question. [15] (The requested portion of the [i6] record read by the reporter). [i7] A: Yes, he did tell me that. But to be [is] correct, the way I reported it, that he had been [i9] approached by several workers associated with [201 chlorinated biphenyls for non-electrical uses. I [21}just want to be clear that -- what we're talking [22] about here. [23] Q: So we weren't talking about dielectric [24] fluids, is that right, or any -- [2Ji A: That's right. These were not workers from _Page 145 in capacitor plants or transformer plants. I mean, he [21 was very specific that these were people who had [3j relationship with chlorinated biphenyl products in [4] other applications. [5] Q: Did he tell you what those applications [6]were? [71 A: If he did, I don't recall. [8] Q: You also told Buchanan and the other [9] recipients of this memo that if any technical [101 journal takes up the press release from the LKB [in Productor Company, there is little Monsanto could or [12] should do in the way of publishing rebuttals, [131 correct? [i4] A: My personal recommendation contained in this [is] memo is contained in that statement. I mean, if any [i] technical journal sort of wants to look at the LKB (17] Productor press release and say we'll review this in [is] our journal, little or nothing could be gained at 9] this point in time of January 1967 of our trying to tan state this is bad equipment or good equipment. We [2i] didn't know very much about their equipment. Again, yp\ professionalism sort of says you don't take out p3] after people until you know what you're doing. [24] Q: Directing your attention to the bottom of [25] the second page. ____________________ Page 146 [U A: The second page. in Q: Which is where that last language came pi from. You then stated, quote, "We do not want [4] personally as Monsanto to get too involved in this (sjquestion". Correct?

[22i MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. But if (23] you're able to answer, you can. [24] A: I didn't then. I have a better realization (25i now. ;Page 147 [1] MR. DUFF: What is your understanding -- [2i what is your realization now? [3] A: That the equipment combined two different [41 and analytical techniques and allowed certain isi organic species to be detected and categorized in [q smaller concentrations than had previously been a [7] possibility. . Pi Q: Were you familiar with gas ' chromatography in pi 1967? [101 A: Very obliquely. It had not been an area of mi concentration in my own undergraduate chemistry tizi work.--- ----- ----------------- ------------ ' [13] Q: Were you familiar with mass spectrometry? [i4i A: Very obliquely. To the extent, in both, [isi that I recognize when -- to know that I didn't know pq and I needed to refer it to people in Monsanto who pq had fuller knowledge of that type of analytical [is] procedure. [it] Q: Who in Monsanto would you refer to for such poi knowledge? [2i] A: At that particular point I would have gone |22] back to my main commercial contacts and the medical [231 department and have allowed them to identify who in [24] the Monsanto technical community they felt were best psi able to address that issue. Page 148 [il Q: Do you know who at this time? - ... [2] A: Dr. Baxter in England would be the person, pj in Europe, that would be best able to bring [4] resolution to that issue. And, I say, I depended on [sg Buchanan, Benignus and Kelly to determine who they [q wanted to talk to this issue from Monsanto's pi professional scientist group in North America. [8] Q: Did you speak with -- strike that. Where p] did you get this LKB press release? [ioi A: I seem to think -- I seem to think I was mi given it by Jensen, but I don't state in the memo [12] where I actually -- I just say attach it, without [i3] sort of saying who gave it to me. [14] Q: Did Jensen give you any other documents? [is] A: Did he give me separately the gas pq chromatograph? If he did, it will be in here [17] somewhere. No, Jensen said he would forward to me [isi copies of his mass spectrographs. [P] Q: And do you recall that he did so? [20] A: I believe he did. [21] Q: Was it shortly after you met with him that [22] he did so? TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY [23] A: I believe it was. But, again, I don't [24] recall with any certainty when it would have [25] happened or whether he sent it to me or whether we ;Page 149 [i] arranged for him to send it directly to somebody to [q whom it would make more intelligent sense. 13] Q: Did you contact anybody at LKB Productor [4] after seeing this press release that's attached to [S]your memorandum? [qA: No. [7] Q: Did anybody at Monsanto conduct LKB, as far [8] as you are aware? M MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. Go [ioi ahead. [in A: I don't know. [12] MR. DUFF: Did you tell anybody at Monsanto [131 to conduct LKB Productor? [14] A: I did not. [is] Q: Did you recommend to anybody at Monsanto [iq that they purchase an LKB Productor -- I'm sorry. [17] That -- did you recommend to anybody at Monsanto [is] that----they purchase the combined gas chromatograph, [19] mass spectrometer from LKB Productor? [20] A: Not in my place to do so, so I didn't. I pi] mean, it's like saying that if I wanted somebody to m comment on a road review of a Rolls Royce that they p3] necessarily needed to buy a Rolls Royce to m accomplish that. [25] Q: I move to strike the last sentence of the Page 150 [i] witness's answer as non-responsive. If Jensen's pjwork was correct, then the news for Monsanto' s pj Aroclor business was devastating, correct? [4] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form, _ iq A: If Jensen's work was correct, the iq consequences to Monsanto's chlorinated biphenyl pj business were not devastating. [8] MR. DUFF: If Jensen's work was correct, [9i Monsanto stood to lose millions of dollars in -- no] strike that. If Jensen's work was correct, then -- im strike that. Do you know if Monsanto subsequently pq purchased a combined gas chromatograph, mass [i3] spectrometer? [i4] A: Just for clarification, you're talking about [isi did they buy an LKB Productor version of the pq equipment or did we buy a combined piece of [i7] equipment? LKB Productor were not the only people psiwho made these. [19] Q: Who else made this type of equipment? [20] A: I mean, there were -- as time went by, the [2i] technique of using those two combined pieces of pq equipment became a more recognized procedure for 1231 determining presence of materials in small [24] quantities in a number of residue sample situations, psi and Monsanto, in common with the chemical industry, Page 146 - Page 150 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314)241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024810 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY _____________ Page 151 Hi ultimately became owners of a fair number of such pi pieces of equipment in conducting their professional [3] businesses. [4j Q: Do you know when Monsanto first acquired a [3] combined gas chromatograph mass spectrometer? []A: No, I don't. t7i Q: Why didn't you go to LKB Productor and give [8] them samples of Monsanto's PCBs and ask them to run [9] it through their equipment? [io] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [in MR. DUFF: You can answer. [12] A: LKB Productor had to our mind at that stage [i3] unprofessionally used Jensen's work, and we were [i4] addressing the issue of what were the implications [isj of Jensen's work, nothing was to be gained by at u] that stage involving LKB Productor in any series of im tests on their equipment and our materials unless [is] such research were thought to be something which the [i9j Monsanto technical community felt would give them a [201 better understanding of the situation. So, 1 was [21] not about, from my position as being the commercial [22] product manager, to start ordering people to go off [23] and do this or do that with LKB Productor. I [24i brought the research programs that had been [23] conducted in Sweden to their attention with a Page 152 [it description of the protocols that had been used and [2] expected them and asked them to come to some pi conclusions about the validity of that work. Now, w for me to dictate how they should go about doing [3] their jobs in that technical sense would have been [6] highly unprofessional. [7] Q: Please mark this as Exhibit 280. ra ( Plaintiffs Exhibit 280 ra marked for. identification). [io] MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, this document has been [in marked as Plaintiffs Exhibit 280 and bears [12] production numbers TRAN 056036 through 61. [13] A: Sorry, I find that on the side? [14] Q: That's on the right margin. [i3] A: Yes. [i6] Q: Please take a moment to peruse this [nj document. [isj A: Yes. [io] Q: Do you recognize this document? [20] A: This was a copy of the typed script of the [2i] paper which Soren Jensen delivered to the conference m at the Wenner-Gren Institute that we alluded to mi earlier that I confirmed that I had not attended, [24] and nobody from Monsanto attended, and this was a [23] result of my talking to Jensen that this ultimately Page 153 [i] came to Monsanto. [2j Q: This was the presentation that Mr. Jensen pigave on November 22, 1966, is that Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 right? [4] A: That's my understanding, yes. [3] Q: And is this the copies of Jensen's mass [6] spectrographs and the details of his sample pi preparation that you referred to in your memorandum (S) of January 26, 1967? [9] A: I believe so, yes. Yes. [io] Q: And when you received this document from [in Jensen, what did you do with it? [i2] A: I sent it to my faithful list of readers [13] that we talked about before. [i4] Q: You sent this, then, to Mr. Buchanan, is [is] that right? * [16] A: There's no cover memo attached to this [m specific exhibit, but my recollection is that I had [is] established that previous list as people who needed [19] to be kept up-to-date and, therefore, certainly all [20] of the people on that previous list would have been 121] sent a copy of this particular paper. [22] Q: And that list you're talking about is the [23] people who are listed at the top of Exhibit 279? [24] A: 279 is that earlier memo of mine to -- yes. [25] Q: Do you recognize the handwriting on the Page 154 in left-hand margin of this? [2] A: The script looks like that of a twenty pi something year old British person called David Wood. M Q: Is that your handwriting that says - [3] A: I believe so. []Q: --November22, '66? pi A: Yes. [l Q: That's your handwriting that says "Dr. [9j Kelly, please comment"? [10] A: Yes. [11] Q: Next to the word toxicologic? [12] A: Yes. [13] Q: And do you recall if Dr. Kelly commented on [mi that section or on this document in general? [isj A: I'm sure he did. But I surely can't recall [ij chapter and verse of what he told me. [17] Q: Were you asking him to comment on the [isj history of the toxicology of PCBs? [i9| A: I was asking him, as our chief medical [20] officer, to comment on the section of this report [211 which was headed toxicology. I mean, he could choose [22] to comment on whichever part or all of it he chose [23] to comment on, but it was appropriate that he [24] comment on it. [25] Q: When you received this document from Jensen, Page 155 [ljyou realized that Jensen's findings related to [2] polychlorinated biphenyls, correct? pi A: No. I believe at that time that I had hi reached a personal conclusion that I felt that it [3] was pretty likely that what he was seeing was [6j related to polychlorinated biphenyls. But as I read m this article and as I talked to Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 151 - Page 155 WATER PCB-SD0000024811 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 my colleagues about pi this new technology of mass spectrometry, that the pijury was still out. I mean, I say, I was beginning [ioi to feel myself that probably what we were talking pu about here was polychlorinated biphenyls, but after [izi all, I was a fairly young, fairly newly graduated [i3] with only an undergraduate degree in chemistry, I [i4j was not about to second guess my more qualified pq professional peers, so I was still sending the more pq technical aspects of these reports to the [i7] appropriate people to tell me, David, you know, we pq agree or we disagree or whatever. [19] Q: So when you received this document from [mi Jensen, you knew that Jensen thought that he was pu finding PCBs? [22] A: Oh, yes. [23] Q: Correct? [24] A: No question. Jensen felt that he was pq finding -- I'm sorry, I'm going to have to ' take you ' Page 156 [i] back one removed. Jensen felt that he was finding pi chlorinated biphenyl mixtures. This term PCBs is pi sort of a Swedish invention, almost. We were not [4] using -- PCBs became - achieved a level of iq notoriety later. But just so we're careful, Jensen iq was sure that he was dealing with a family of pi chlorinated biphenyls, put PCBs on one side for a iq moment. [9] Q: And that was a family of chlorinated (ioi biphenyls of which Aroclor was one, correct? mi A: Aroclor was Monsanto's trademark for a range [tz] of chlorinated biphenyls that we were one of the [i3] world's manufacturers. [i4] Q: So if Jensen was correct in this document [is] which has been marked as Exhibit 280, then the pq implication was that Aroclors were being found in [17] the environment, _ correct? - [i8] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [is] A: No. No. [20] MR. DUFF: Let me ask the question again, pi] If Jensen was correct, then, substances which had pq the same chemical composition as Aroclors were being [23] found in the environment, correct? [24] A: No. p5] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. __Page 157 in MR. DUFF: Why is that not correct? pi A: If you read this paper with understanding pj -- and I don't know what your scientific [4j background is, and, you know, mine being somewhat [5] constrained, I can still review in this document [q some problems and issues that Jensen has with pi retention times and different chemical entities m having similar retention times so that they appear [9] in the same spot on the -- they peak at the same pet point in the curve, and this depends as much on the [it]substrate from which you're extracting the residue [iq as it does -- I mean, TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY this was good fundamental new [p] leading edge work. Jensen, I think, had done a very [i4] credible job and believed that he was finding pq famililes of chlorinated biphenyls, of which nq Monsanto's family was called Aroclor. But he didn't [i7] know what he was -- if what he was seeing was pq chlorinated biphenyls manufactured by Bayer, [i9] Prodelec or Monsanto, who had sold various amounts poi for various reasons, us the smallest provider to pi] Sweden, so Aroclor per se was not being implicated. [22] When you say were chlorinated biphenyls per se being [23] implicated, no, because people at that stage didn't [24] know what happened to other chlorinated organic pq materials as they were biodegraded in nature, did Page 158 in they break down and go through product stages which pi were very similar to where those peaks would have pi occurred for chlorinated biphenyls. We were trying m to be totally objective at that point in time. So, [q the evidence was growing that said somebody's [q chlorinated biphenyls seem to be appearing in pi Sweden. But the way that you were framing the [q question, which was trying to get me to sort of say pi that Aroclor was in deep trouble in Sweden, no. I [10] mean, the jury was still out at that point in time, [inbut we were still doing a lot of the right things to [izi find out what the hell was going on in Sweden. Does [i3i that clarify where you wanted to take me? [i4] Q: I think so. In this document Jensen sets [iq out the characteristics of what he calls PCB, [iq correct? [i7] A: Can you again -- it's a long time, and I [iq was not totally familiar with this document even 30 [19] years ago, so where are you taking me specifically? [20] Q: On the first page of the document, pi] A: Paragraph two? [22] Q: The second paragraph. The paragraph [23] that -- [24] A: That starts "The main characteristics"? pqQ: Yes. And in this paragraph Jensen sets out Page 159 [i] the characteristics of PCB, correct? pi A: He makes some statements about some personal pi beliefs about PCBs. And the reason I state it that w way is because under item two he says they are tq hardly metabolized in living organisms. I'm not [q aware -- I wasn't aware then and I'm not aware now pj of any major scientific studies which had looked in tq detail at the metabolism of PCBs in living [9] organisms. The very research techniques that he was (uq busily evolving were an essential component of pi]people even getting being able to design such pq metabolism studies. So, for him to make this broad [131 general statement of they are hardly metabolized in pq living Page 155 - Page 159 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024812 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY organisms is conjecture on his part, pq unsupportable by any scientific evidence at that {tel point in time. ii7] Q: Hadn't he stated that he found that [is] polychlorinated biphenyls had accumulated in fish [i9i and in birds? [20] A: He talks about enrichment and other such pi] strange terminology, which later in time, with p2i biorefractory materials, became better qualified as [23] bioaccumulations and this sort of thing. But, [24] again, here you've got a young man doing excellent pq analytical work, but stretching out and using Page 160 [i] hypotheses outside -- metabolism and that sort of pi thing. Unless he could reach out and produce pi supporting technology to be able to sort of say I've [4j done the front end of this, which is the analytical [q work, and that is supported by these studies in [q animals, in ecosystems and the like, he makes these n sweeping generalizations to characterize PCBs where p] there's no supporting evidence. He says if more -- pi under item three, he says if more than four chlorine [ioj are present they are non-inflammable. I'll excuse [inbecause of language deficiencies the double [izi negative, he means non-flammable, I think. But I [131 can make a pentachlorobiphenyl bum. I can make a [i4] hexachlorobiphenyl bum. You know, so he goes pq beyond his area of research expertise and starts pq making a lot of sweeping generalizations which just [nj aren't true. Now, that takes away, unfortunately, pq and it was one of the problems that Widmark, his m professor had, you know, a little from his m credibility in the good solid research processes and pu procedures and protocols that he was working on. P2i Q: There was validity to some Of the p3] conclusions that Jensen reached, is that right? [24] A: Which conclusions would you like for me to [23] respond to? ' Page 161 in (Discussion off the record). P] MR. DUFF: Would you please mark this [3] document as Exhibit 281. [4] ( Plaintiffs Exhibit 281 [q marked for identification). [] MR.

Filer? [i9| A: Jim Filer was an American expatriot working po] in Brussels for Monsanto and I believe involved at pi] that time with -- I'm not sure what Jim's assignment was at that point in time. [23] Q: Did he report to you? P4j A: No. pq Q: Did you report to him? Page 163 [i]A: No. pi Q: Who was Eugene Wilde? pi A: Eugene Wilde was a long-term marketing hi employee of Monsanto in St. Louis who was involved [5] with various product lines, to my knowledge, over (q his long career with Monsanto. He's also a retired pi gentleman. What his assignment was in February of [si 1967,1 don't recall. [9] Q: Dr. Kelly told you in this memorandum that [ioj an extensive meeting was conducted in St. Louis [in relating to the memorandum that you had sent them, pq correct? [13] A: That's not what it says. Because when it [i4] says there was an exstensive meeting, which would pq include those individuals receiving copies of this [iq memorandum, this very memorandum we're reviewing, [i7] not my memorandum. That's the way I read that. [is] Q: Dr. Kelly told you in this memorandum that's [i9]been marked as Exhibit 282 that an extensive meeting pq had been held in St. Louis on the subject of Aroclor pi] in the air and various fish and other living [22] reservoirs, correct? [23i A: That is correct, yes. pq Q: And one of the things he told you in this pq memorandum, directing your attention to the third Page 164 [i] paragraph, is, quote, "We are very worried Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

[ioi A: That is the next sentence in that third [in paragraph. [i2i Q: And that is something he told you in this ini memorandum, correct? [mi A: Yes, he did. [is] Q: He also told you that Monsanto had been [i6i receiving quite a few communications from its [i7] customers, including one which he called the most [iai critical one from NCR, which customers were very [i9j much involved -- strike that question. He also [201 told you that - Monsanto had been receiving quite a [211 few communications from its customers at this point [22] in time, correct? P3] A: Yes, he did. [24] Q: And he told you that the most critical psj customer who had communicated with Monsanto at this Page 165 [1] time was NCR, correct? [2] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. Pi A: No, that's not what that fourth paragraph, w if that's where we're reading, states. I read that [3] differently to your interpretation of the text. We [6] have been receiving quite a few communications from n our customers. The most critical one I read is the tn communication from NCR. Not that NCR is the most pi critical customer. That may be a minor -- [i<q Q: Were you aware of any communications from mi Monsanto's customers at this time? - [12] A: Monsanto's customers in the United States to [is] Monsanto in St. Louis or Monsanto's customers [14]anywhere? [i5i Q: Anywhere. [16] A: Specifically, no, I was not receiving [in reports of individual customer communications to 'pq Monsanto, either as to content or the number of [19] them. [20] Q: Were you aware of the communication that pi] Monsanto received from NCR in particular? [22] A: Until I received this particular memo, I P3] didn't know that NCR were one of the -- a customer [241 who had communicated with Monsanto about chlorinated psi biphenyls. . Page 166 in Q: Just so I'm clear, were you aware of any [2] communications from any customers to Monsanto about pi polychlorinated biphenyls at that time? [4| A: Well, the trouble I have, and that's why, [3iagain, I'm trying to be clear here, Monsanto was in [6| the business of selling TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY chlorinated biphenyls, and, m therefore, there were daily communications with many p] of our customers about the business of supplying, pi using chlorinated biphenyls. Now, you chose to use [ioi we've been receiving quite a few communications from [inour customers, I had to read between lines and say [12] that they were receiving communications about the [13] -- what people were reading about what the press [i4] was saying had happened in Sweden. Now, I was not [is] aware of any individual communications from any [i6] customer, NCR or otherwise, that were amongst that [i7j category of quite a few communications, which I was [is] making an individual assumption that they meant [19] communications about chlorinated biphenyls and [201 Sweden. Does that clear it up for you? [21] Q: I think so. [22] A: Good. [23] Q: Was it critical at this point in time for [24] Monsanto's customers to have all the information [25] available to them that Monsanto ... ..had available to it---------------------------- ------------ Page 167 [1] with respect to the findings of Jensen? [2] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [3] A: I'd like you to repeat the question, I'm not [4] sure that I -- [3] Q: Certainly. Please repeat the question for [6i the witness, pi (The requested portion of the pi record read by the reporter). [9] MR. CHAMBERS: Same objection. [101 A: Well, I can respond to it. No, it wasn't. [i u MR. DUFF: Why not? [13 A: Because, without intellectual arrogance, [13] Monsanto had decided to try to establish a factual [i4] basis of what was happening in Sweden, and so [i5] included in the "all" which would be encompassed [ii within your last question would be things that we \\i\ felt were inaccurate, irrelevant, and so it would [is] only increase the circle of people who were being [19] confused at that point in time. We had a [20] responsibility to our customers to solicit 121] clarification of what was happening in Sweden. But p2i to try to respond to your specific question, was it [23] critical at that date that our customers heard all [241 that Monsanto had been notified about, no, it [23] wasn't. But I don't want to sort of put that in any Page 168 in context where you say that Monsanto was acting in [2] any way irresponsibly or hiding anything; no, we pj weren't. But Monsanto, indeed, was acting very pj responsibly. [3] Q: Was there any factual basis to Jensen's [6] findings? Pi A: That we were aware of at February 1967? PlQ: Yes. pj A: We believed there were some factual bases. [101 We didn't know where factual crossed into minon-factual hypothesis, Page 164 - Page 168 Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

There's no [iq question we believed that there was some parts of [i3] this work which were very valuable and factual and [i4] needed to be explored, investigated, clarified and [is] communicated. ni Q: Why didn't Monsanto convey the factual basis [17] of Jensen's work to its customers? [is] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [i9] A: Because at that point in time Monsanto could [20] not completely identify which bits our technical pi 1 experts really did believe were factual and which [221 bits they believed were speculative, which I think [23] is indicated by the very opening statement in [24] paragraph two of this memo, which talked about the [25] outcome of the extensive meeting, which the decision Page 169 [i] was that more information had to be gained and that pi this could likely necessitate a trip so that we pi could get our experts alongside their experts to [4] begin to sort out fact and fiction. [5] Q: Monsanto had certain information available kg to it already as of February 10, 1967, correct? [7] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [8] A: Monsanto had available to it at February Pi 1967 a set of information which were a blend of [io] potential fact and potential errors on Jensen's impart, potential inaccuracies in reporting Jensen's [12] work, in potential inaccuracies in interpretations [13] put upon and conclusions drawn from Jensen's work by [i4] others with unsupported qualifications to make such [is] statements, and so we had a mass of data which very [iq inconclusively could be designated as fact or [171 fiction. [is] Q: Would it have been a mistake for Monsanto to (nqtell its customers about Jensen's work as of [201 February 1967? I .. . pi] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [22] A: I don't know. [23] Q: In February 1967 were you qualified to make [24] that determination? [23] A: I probably wasn't. And I would not Page 170 [i] necessarily have been invited to make that decision. Pi Q: Who at Monsanto would have been qualified in [3] February 1967 to decide whether or not to tell [4] Monsanto's customers about Jensen's findings? [5] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [61 A: I was not privy at that time to all the pi debate going on about that issue. I don't know who [8] attended meetings or, indeed, how many meetings [<q there were in St. Louis to discuss that. But [ioj there's no question in my mind that for us to set im off on some pilgrimage in Europe to get into any [iq broad scale customer or public communication with im the level of data that we had would have been [iq totally a mistake. Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 ns] Q: Was there an individual that you considered [iq to be the authority on toxicological issues in [m Monsanto in February 1967? im A: I was led to understand that Dr. Emmet Kelly [i9] was the person who would, in consultation with po] appropriate experts that he wished to consult with pi] to fill in gaps in his own expertise, be the person [22] who would have a very large voice in deciding what [23] safety related information should be given to our [24] client base and/or the public and/or users of [25] equipment containing our products at that point in Page 171 [1] time. You know, I still believe that I got the [2] question to the right person at the right time. PI Q: Was Dr. Kelly the person who was best suited [4] to convey Jensen's findings to customers in February [5] 1967? [q MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form, pi A: No. [8]Q: Who was? [9] A: I don't think there was any one individual [io] who you could say was best able to communicate [11] Jensen's work to the world at large at that point in [12] time. There were a number of people who had various [13] functions within Monsanto's corporate and product [14] line organization who were qualified to contribute [iq to the decision about what Monsanto's nq responsibilities were at that point in time to [i7l support the use of our products with data, be it [is] analytical data, industrial hygiene data, safety [19] data, toxicological data, and they all played a role [201 in establishing policy. [21] Q: By this memorandum which has been marked as [22] Plaintiff's Exhibit 282 Dr. Kelly told you that, [23] quote, "The consensus in St. Louis is that while pq Monsanto would like to keep" -- PS] A: I'm sorry, are we still on this Exhibit Page 172 [i] 282? pj Q: Yes, we are. pi A: If you're leading from that, then can you [4] tell me where - which paragraph you're working [q from. iq Q: Yes. I'll direct your attention to the last pi paragraph of this memorandum, pi A: On the second page? (9j Q: Yes. no] A: It starts "The consensus in St. Louis". [ii] Q: Yes. By this memorandum which has been [12] marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit 282 Dr. Kelly told you [13] that, quote, "The consensus in St. Louis is that [iq while Monsanto would like to keep in the background [iq in this problem we don't see how we will be able to (iq in the United States". [i7] A: That's what he wrote and told me in that [is] memo of February 10th. Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 168 - Page 172 WATER PCB-SD0000024815 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 [19] Q: He also told you that, quote, "We feel our (Mi customers, especially NCR, may ask us for some sort pi] of data concerning the safety of these residues in 1221 humans". mi A: Yes, he states that, too. 124] Q: And he had told you that -- 125] A: Can we just -- I mean, there's another Page 173 [i] sentence which is fairly vital to the response to pi the last question, so let me just add and read that pj next sentence. "This might open the door to an w extensive and quite expensive toxicological and pi phamacologicsl investigation", which says they will [] ask us for information which we don't have. Okay? p] If you read those two -- we're going to be asked pi for data that we'll need to investigate. Now, pjreading the middle part of that, therefore, it says no] we're going to be asked for data that they don't ini have. And I don't mind him sort of saying that HZ] we're concerned, that we're going to be asked for (iaj some data that we don't have and that's troublesome.------ ------------- -- [i4] Q: And by this memorandum Dr. Kelly listed a psi number of {mints that he asked you to gather pq information on, is that right? (i7] A: I seem to recall, but let me refresh my [is] memory. [l?] Q: Certainly. [20] A: There were seven points that he alluded to, pu and essentially, since I was the addressee of this [2zi memo, he was asking me, if not necessarily to get p3] all that information myself, it would be to pq coordinate and use my authority in Europe to gather ps] that information. _Page 174 [i] Q: And did he ask you because at this time you pi were the person in Monsanto in the.best position to pj gather this information? - [4] A: No. He asked me because in my role of -- [5] I'm going to go back to my original exhibit here (q and, was I product supervisor or product management pi of manager in '67? (8]Q: You're referring now-- pj A: I was product supervisor, dielectric fluids. [io] Q: You're referring to Exhibit 273 now? dU A: I'm referring to Exhibit 273. In that [in position, and having got myself involved with this [i3] issue, he knew he could depend on me to work within pq our organizational resources to develop this (in information. I had shown some ownership of the [ii problem in Europe. [i7] Q: Please mark this as Exhibit 283. pq( Plaintiffs Exhibit 283 psj marked for identification). [20] MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, this document has been pi] marked as Plaintiffs Exhibit 283 and bears [221 production numbers TRAN 056616 through 18. Do you p3i recognize this document? pq A: Not until I've reviewed it. TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY [25] Q: Please take as much time as you need. Page 175 [11 A: Yes, I recognize it. Pi Q: Can you please identify this document for pi the record? [4] A: This is a memo from Rising and Strand, our pj agents in Sweden, to myself, David Wood, in [i Brussels, dated February 17th, responding to my pi request for generating the data that had previously pj been requested by Dr. Kelly in his last reviewed p] memo, Exhibit Number 282. no] Q: Do you recall exactly what you asked Mr. [ii] Palm to obtain for you? [12] A: Yes. Those bits of the action points one [is] through seven in Exhibit 282 which pertained to the [iq Swedish part of the questions. I gave him the (isi complete list of items one through seven in case he pq were able, from his contact with Jensen, to elicit [it] any data about OECD, although OECD was broader than pq Sweden, and, indeed, he did comment to that issue as [19] well. So, again, very practically, I got the poj question to the right person rather quickly and he pi] very rapidly responded and gave us the answers that [22] Dr. Kelly had sought. [23] Q: Mr. Palm also related to you that Jensen pq wanted isomer samples, is that right? [25] A: Yes. Page 176 ID Q: And you already knew that, because Jensen pi had mentioned that when you met with him? pj A: Jensen had alluded to these when we were in (q -- and, again, when he met with Palm, he also said (si remember, I talked to Mr. Wood about samples, and I [q had raised the issue inside Monsanto about pure p] isomers and you will see -- I'm sure we will come [g] across a some documents in a few minutes, if not pi tomorrow, which talk that issue and the time at [ioj which we addressed that issue. In fact, we may [ii] already have had a Baxter memo that we didn't touch [12] on that point, but I don't recall. [13] Q: Do you recall a letter that you sent to [iq Soren Jensen on February 8, 1967? [is] A: No. I sometimes have to remember those who pq I sent Christmas cards last year. No, I don't (in remember a letter that I sent to Jensen on February pq 7th -- February 8th. pq Q: One of the things that Mr. Palm told you in pn] this letter of February 17, 1967 was that there were pij plans for future toxicological studies in Sweden, (225 correct? [23] A: No. pq Q: That's not correct? P5] A: That's not correct. _Page 177 Pi Q: Why is that not correct? Pi MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. Pi A: If we look to the paragraph one, two, three (q on the second page of this exhibit r ... _ > ~ - ' M . Page 172 - Page 177 Gore & Perry Reporting Co.

Ii3j Q: Do you know if such work was, in fact, ]i4] carried out? ]i5] A: Very limited work, because of the funding, [lq If you want to sort of say ~ ask the question, was im money spent on toxicological work around [isi polychlorinated biphenyls, a emporor's ransom was (isispent on toxicological work surrounding chlorinated poj biphenyls. How much of that was spent at the [2i] Carolinska Institute in Sweden? I would think 1221 almost nothing. [23] Q: Were you concerned that -- strike that. 124] Were you concerned about the potential that [25] Monsanto's dielectric customers' polychlorinated Page 178 (i] biphenyls were escaping into the environment? pi MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form, pi A: I think I can answer that, but since you [4] threw me a little bit, I'd like to - is] MR. CHAMBERS: Absolutely. And you should [6] answer, if you're able, regardless of my objections, pj that's fine. I'm sorry that distracted you. pi MR. DUFF: Please read the question back to [9] the witness. [iq (The requested portion of the [ii] record read by the reporter). (i2j A: I'm going to ask you to qualify or rephrase 113] the question around the word concern, because [i4] concern, in the context which I felt you used it [i$i determines, you know, a deep worry. Did I feel that tiqthe type of recommendations that we were already [17] making about the application of chlorinated [18] biphenyls in the manufacture of electrical [191 equipment -- [20] Q: No, that's not exactly what I'm asking, pi] A: -- if properly executed, would not lead to [22] any major burden on the environment? [23j Q: That's not what I'm asking. Let me see if I [24] can rephrase it for you. [25] A: Sorry, I just shifted the chair, can you Page 179 injust check that I'm still in your picture? Thank [2] you. pi Q: Were you aware that there was a potential (4] that Monsanto's dielectric customers' [j] polychlorinated biphenyls were escaping into die iq environment? pi A: No. If they were manufacturing following [8] the procedures that we reviewed at their plants, if [9] there were any releases to the environment they [io] would be so small they could not possibly lead to [in levels in the Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 environment which would be capable of [121 detection in the framework and limits that were [13] being hypothesized by Jensen. [14] Q: Is that because dielectric fluids are [15] intended for closed systems? [16] A: Dielectric fluids are designed into closed [17] systems. The very stability says that that piece of [isi equipment then remains in useful service for many [i9] years. Its failure mode through the design of the pojequipment is such that you detect the unit has pi] failed while the fluid is still inside the pn equipment, so that when you replace the equipment, [23] in most cases you recover almost one hundred percent [24]of the fluid that was in the failed piece of [251 equipment. So, answering specifically the question __________________________ Page 180 HI that you asked me, did I have any awareness that our pi dielectric customers were releasing or could pi potentially be releasing PCB into the environment, I [4] had an awareness that this is not a major problem. [5]Q: Were you aware that Monsanto's customers who [i used polychlorinated biphenyls in open systems may . n have their polychlorinated biphenyls escape into the [s] environment? (9) MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [io] A: From reading the Soren Jensen article, he [it]had theorized some transportation systems, and I'm [musing transportation systems in the ecological sense [13] of how does a material move from one part of the [u] ecosystem to another part of the ecosystem to [15] another part of the ecosystem. The particular pi hypotheses that he had drawn did not seem, given the uti physical characteristics of chlorinated biphenyls, [isi to be ones that would have resulted again in levels [19] of chlorinated biphenyls if that, indeed, was what [20] he was seeing, in the areas that he was seeing pi] them. So, an open system could potentially -- an [221 industrial open system use of chlorinated biphenyls (23) could release some chlorinated biphenyls to the [24] environment, but here you're talking about studies [25] which are examining and finding similar levels of Page 181 [i] concentrations of two chlorinated substances, one m being DDT, which people are liberally and (3) intentionally spraying into the environment, if you [4] consider what DDT is used for and how it is used. I [5] mean, there society was intentionally spraying DDT ra into the environment. Now, sales of chlorinated pi biphenyls for industrial use were very much smaller [8] than the sales of DDT and the open applications were [9] only part of the situation, and their physical [101 characteristics were such that most of the open [in systems would still not be frequently releasing 112] substantial parts of their volume to the [i3] environment. So, to answer your question -- see, nql'm getting to Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 177 - Page 181 WATER PCB-SD0000024817 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 an answer ultimately. Yes, you're [iji aware of an obvious release in the environment where [iq you're intentionally spraying DDT into the \\t\ environment. You are aware of a potential move into [iq the environment, but at a very much lower level of [iq frequency of an open industrial system. You are poi aware of almost zero potential for the involvement pq of substantial volumes of chlorinated biphenyls from [2a dielectric applications, closed by nature, giving [23i potential for environmental load. [24i Q: Why didn't Monsanto tell its customers who [25] were using fluids that contain polychlorinated ____________________ _____ Page 182 pi biphenyls in open systems at this time in February pi of 1967 that there was a potential for PCBs to get pi into the environment? iq MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [si A: I don't know. I was accountable for' iq dielectric fluids in Europe, and there was certainly pi no need to my mind to heavily publicize the Swedish [8i work, which had little relevance to the dielectric [9] applications at that point in time. As we've seen [icq already today, there's some memos and other [indiscussions going on. How that related to decisions [izi of non-electrical customers, I don't know. [i3l Q: Please mark this as Exhibit 284. [i4j ( Plaintiffs Exhibit 284 [isi marked for identification). [iq MR. DUFF: Mr. Wood, this document has been [i7] marked as Plaintiff's Exhibit 284 and bears [iq production number TRAN 085966. Do you recognize [iq this document? [20|A: No. ph Q: Do you recognize the handwriting in the P2i upper right-hand comer of this document? [23i A: No. [24i Q: This document is dated February 21, 1967, [25] and is authored by R. Emmet Kelly*.. do you see that? _Page 183 in A: Yes, I do. pi Q: In the first sentence of this document Dr. pi Kelly refers to talking to you on the morning of w February 21, 1967. Do you recall that conversation? pi A: I trust Emmet, and if he reported that he [q and I had a conversation on the morning of February m 21, 1967, I'm prepared to stipulate that we had such (q a conversation. - [9]Q: Do you recall what you discussed with Dr. [ioi Kelly on that morning? mi A: No. But this would likely -- again, I trust [izj his -- [i3i Q; Was it typical for you to have telephone [iq conversations with Dr. Kelly at this time? [iq MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [iq A: No. Again, the I want you to understand [i7i that while the situation in Sweden was evolving, I pq was responsible for the European-wide market for [iq dielectrics, and Sweden was a very small part of poi that TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY market. I had lots of wonderful experiences pn keeping me busy day by day. But conscientiously, as p2il received requests from Dr. Kelly such as the one I [23] sought the information on the seven points from pq Exhibit 282,1 reached Out and made sure that they [251 were effectively and rapidly handled. And when I Page 184 til got the response from Ola Palm, I would have called m Dr. Kelly. So, as he reports, he has 90 percent of pi the information asked for. That is totally [q consistent with the way I ran my business. So -- [5] Q: So as of this date you had given him 90 [q percent of the information he had asked you for? Pl A: No. He said I have 90 percent. I . believe I [q may have sent it on to him by mail. pi Q: That is what this says. It says that you do] told him that you had 90 percent of the information [ujhe asked for on February 10th? H2) A: And I will forward the bundle when I get the [i3] rest. ...... -.. [iq Q: And you told him that you would have that [i5] information to him by the end of February, correct, q 1967? (i7) A: I told him that it should be forwarded to [iq him and should arrive within a week of February the [i9i21st, which would have been the end of February. [20] Q: You also told Dr. Kelly that your customers pi] were less concerned at this time than they had been P21 since the publicity surrounding Widmark and Jensen's p3) findings had died down, correct? pqA: No. I didn't say that. [25] Q: What did you say? Page 185 u) A: I said his customers -- he reports -- [21 again, he tended to report fairly factually, that my [3] customers in Europe were less concerned than they [q were since there has been no particular government [5] activity. The government does not seem to have [q engaged itself on a particular witch hunt on an pi emergency timetable about this issue, and there's (q been no increase in newspaper articles. Didn't say [9] newspaper articles were still not appearing, but [ioi people seemed to be not pannicking, people seemed to [iiibe willing to let good science work at the pace of 11-23 good science. We didn't have a crisis situation (i3i where people could be reacting to and pannicking to [iq half truths, there seemed to be an environment where [iq common sense and good science could work [iq effectively. So -- but let's not sort of say I was [i7j saying hooray, the problem's gone away. That's not [iq what I was saying. [i9| Q: You also told Dr. Kelly in this conversation 1219 on February 21, 1967 that your customers wanted pn reassurance on the toxicity of Aroclor, correct? > i Page 181 - Page 185 Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314)241-6750 621-4790 WATER PCB-SD0000024818 TENNESSEE GAS PIPELINE CO. vs. MONSANTO COMPANY 1221 A: Yes, I did. And, again, I don't know [231 whether I used the word reassurance. He chose to [24] express my comments to Gene Wilde in that sort of 123] context. I guess I asked him that we had received Page 186 [i] some questions of people saying do you have any pj information about the effect of very small p] quantities of Aroclor on human health over extended m periods of time, and as he echos to Gene Wilde in [5] this memo, told me that information about the action [<s] of nanograms of Aroclor in the human body over a p] life time isn't available. [8] Q: So he told that you there wasn't any [9] experimental data on the effect of Aroclor on [io] humans, is that right? [in A: No, he didn't say that. [12] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [13] A: He didn't report as saying that. There's no [i4] evidence available on the effect of Aroclor in nsj nanogram quantities in the human body over a [its] lifetime of exposure. And that's different. [171Q: Did Dr. Kelly tell you anything with respect [is] to experimental data on the effect of Aroclor on [i9] plant life? pot A: No. pi) Q: Did he tell you anything about experimental m data on die effect of Aroclor on aquatic life? mi A: Let me see if I can cut through this a 124) little bit. The industrial hygiene recommendations [23] that Monsanto made to clients who used chlorinated Page 187 [i] biphenyls was based on not just sticking our fingers in in the air and saying do this, do that, do the pj other. There was some very industry accepted range m of fundamental toxicological testing of an acute einature, of skin contact type situations that had psjbeen done well, thoroughly and appropriately and p] were reported as a basis for the recommendations pi that we made about the use of our material. Now, at pi the time this work was developed, nobody knew there [to] were nanograms of anything. Lots of things in the (in environment, the methods to detect them didn't [12] exist. So, it's like if a tree falls in the forest [is] and nobody hears it, did it really fall. So the [i4] statement that Kelly is making at this period of [isi time is that the type of work that people would like [ii to see evidence of if they believe for the first [17] time that they may have identified the presence of [isi PCBs in very small volumes in the environment isn't [i?i there because the work has not been done to test pa\ it. Does that mean Monsanto has done no responsible [211 toxicological testing in support of its product? [22] Damn, no. ~ [23i Q: You're saying that Monsanto had done Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9,1995 [24] A: We were leaders. We were leaders in [25] industry in doing safety testing of the products ;__________________________Page 18 Hi that we sold to our customers. [2iQ: Was that because Monsanto's customers [3] approached Monsanto with questions about the [4] toxicological effects of Monsanto's products or was [3] it because Monsanto was a responsible corporate [q citizen? P] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form, isi A: I'm sorry? [9] MR. CHAMBERS: I'm just noting an objection [io] to the form of that question. You should respond. [it] A: I'm going to respond, because I'm damn proud [121 of Monsanto. [13] MR. DUFF: Will you repeat the question? [14] A: No, I don't need to repeat the question, I [is] heard what you said, and I resent the suggestion. ni And I'll have that on die record. Monsanto had a [17] very fine corporate reputation from the time I [i8]joined Monsanto. One of the reasons I joined [i9] Monsanto was because I found that they were a [20] company who took its responsibilities seriously in [21] delivering the benefits of chemistry to the [22] population. [23] Q: I'm not suggesting anything. [24] A: No, you asked me fairly forcefully a [25] question, I'm giving you a damn forceful answer, Page 189 [i] because I happen to respect what Monsanto has done, [21 not only in the PCB area, but in a lot of other pi areas of becoming a leader in responsible use of [4] chemicals. [5] Q: So, just because -- I just want to make [j sure -- I understand your answer, p] A: Okay. Good. isi Qs And I appreciate your answer. Just so the [9] answer follows the question appropriately, I asked, nojI guess, two things. The fist -- and it sounds [in like it's a pretty simple answer. But the first [12] question is, Monsanto conducted these toxicological [is] tests over the years because Monsanto's customers [i4] had at times raised questions on these issues, is ri3] that right? ins] MR. CHAMBERS: I object to the form. [17] A: No. I'll answer it. I agree with you, it's [is] a lousy question, but I'll answer it. Monsanto, [19] from the outset, was and continued to be a leader in [20] furnishing safety data in support of its products, pi] If a customer in a specific area of application had [221 a question that the toxicological testing that we [23] had hitherto done did not provide an answer, we would normally sit down with them and sort of see [231 did we understand why they were asking the question __________________________ Pag in and what was involved in appropriately answering m them or allaying their fears, not burying their pi fears, appropriately allaying Gore & Perry Reporting Co. St. Louis, Missouri (314) 241-6750 621-4790 Page 185 - Page 190 WATER PCB-SD0000024819 Deposition of DAVID WOOD NOVEMBER 9, 1995 their fears or [4] agreeing what would be an appropriate methodology to [5| get such test work concluded. If we were a sole [6] provider, we might say we need to, over the next m couple of years, do this test. And when we say over m a couple of years, that was not to delay anything or pj reduce the cost of doing it, but if you want to do a [ioj one year feeding study, I can assure you as a uij non-technical person you need to understand that a [i2] one year feeding study takes two years to do. [13] Q: So Monsanto is -- [14] A: Monsanto was responsive from its own [is] volition to a very strong leadership role in product [i6] stewardship as early as 30 years ago, let alone [i7j where the corporation is today in that leadership, [is] And in terms of responsiveness to its customers [19] request for additional specific data related to tao] their specific applications, we were responsive. pi] Q: And just getting back ~ [22] A: Does that answer the question? [23] Q: Yes, I think it does. So getting back to my [24] original question, Monsanto was responsive like that [231 both because -- and this is what my original Page 191 [ij question was -- Monsanto was responsive in the way m that you just described, both because Monsanto's [3] customers raised such questions and because Monsanto [4] was a responsible corporate citizen, correct? [31 A: I still object to the form of your question. (<l MR. CHAMBERS: Thank you. You saved me from pi having to do so. Go ahead, if you're able to. pi A: I mean, you sequence that sort of saying we pi were responsive when somebody asked us and [io] additionally we did some sort of testing. I told [111 you, the one -- reverse that in your question and.[i2j I'll say yes. We did fine product stewardship and [13] if beyond that customers asked some specific [i4i questions, we got involved and were responsive to [13] their needs. [ii MR. DUFF: Thank you. Off the record.
