3 I have reviewed the interrogatories
4 submitted by Dr. Selikoff on February 11, 1966.
5 Briefly, Dr. Selikoff reviewed a series of
6 films on Mr. Tomplait dating from 1961 through 1964,
7 which he interpreted as showing progressive changes
8 consistent with asbestosis.
9 The letter from Mr. Rienstra, attorney in
10 Beaumont, Texas, addressed to yourself, which is Mr.
11 Logan, he had added three additional interrogatories
12 to be addressed to Dr. Selikoff.
13 The point of these questions appears to be
14 to establish that asbestosis was a well-known entity
15 to industrial medical practice over the entire period
16 that Mr. Tomplait handled asbestos-containing
17 insulation.
18 The answer to the three questions can be
19 summed up by saying that the condition was well-known
20 and well documented in the literature during the
21 entire time that Mr. Tomplait used the insulation.
