Oolne through jeok's film 1 md jour June 2$ mmmo to Howard
with intaraat. Tou my recall It dm It with jour discussions
Km.Kith Sr. Knust of Bayer and F. Jay of frodalao on
It
contains Informtion that would help us a lot X think In our
International arm.
1. Bayer has notified ell Clophen user* of PCB hazard and asked for sorap fluid to be returned for InsInsration.
Pub lie 1 ting this to our world arm aanagers would be good. In latin Assam# customers always tAed to give m the
Impression Bayer was assuring them there were no hesards. The Implication of oourse being that the future was cloudy with Monsanto but bright and gloAoua with Bayer.
2. Prods Iso sells reels lead fluid ate<a lowanjmloe whloh could oontain oil oontaalnation above O.L. Halts.
Properly handled this could be a good eosqpat^tlve tool.
3. Prodslsc hsfirfe discontinued epoxides for tiumfonar sskarel and reverted to tin tetre phenyl. Does this affect their work on capacitor fluids as their blends with epoxide were getiing the Interest of Xtel and others in intln Aserloa on ay last Aslt.
4. Both Bayer and Prodelee have toxic tetraohlorodlbonsofuian In their products# Monsanto has not. Again a potential eoepetltlve toot.
Vac there a smears of confidentiality in your talks. I see the need for delicate handling bat when I hear your consents on R.O.V. pAolng X aa tmpted. This la for the record when
you and X alt down to work on this topic.
