Additional information available to u* indicates that 29 of the remaining 37 have converted to non-PCB fluids.

Discontinue sales of PCBs for heat transfer applications 3he Bales of FOB heat transfer fluids in the U.S. were terminated on December 15, 1971 with two exceptions, both covered with hold harmless agreements. We con tinue to supply Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company under an agreement until August 7, 1972. We supplied fluid to Bendix Corporation under an agreement but sales were terminated prior to June 1972. Certified by T. L. Oossage II, Further sale and delivery of PCBe as dielectric fluidB for transformers and capacitors will be made in conformance with certain restrictive policies adopted by Monsanto management. Sales of PCB dielectric fluids in the U.S. were terminated on January 15, 1972 except to approved customers who satisfy Monsanto's special requirements. Certified by T. L. Gossage III. Discontinue all sales of PCTs (polychlorinated terphenyls) no later than June 30, 1972, The program calls for 75JC of such sales to be terminated by March 31, 1972, with the remainder to be terminated during the second quarter of 1972. With two exceptions, sales of plasticizers containing PCTs were terminated on March 31, 1972, exclusive of a few customers who had signed hold harmless agreements. Hie two exceptions occurred in early April, Sales to customers who had Bigned hold harmless agreements were terminated prior to June 30, 1972. Certified by W. S.

Effective date of discontinuance shall be date of letter giving formal notification. Sales of PCBb for all uses other than dielectric fluids in transformers and capacitors were terminated by January 31# 1972. Certified by E. Greene D. Qoodwillle W. S. Clark II. Further sale and delivery of PCBs as dielectric fluids for transformers and capacitors will be made in conformance with the restrictive policies adopted by Monsanto management. In Canada sales of PCBs to dielectric applications were terminated on January 31# 1972 except to approved cus tomers who satisfy Monsanto's special requirements. Certified by D. Goodwillle Remaining export Bales of PCB dielectric fluids were terminated on March 31# 1972 except to approved customers who satisfy Monsanto's speoial requirements. Certified by E. Oreene III. Discontinue all sales of PCTs no later than June 30# 1972. The program calls for 75 of such saleB to be terminated by March 31# 1972 with the remainder to be terminated during the second quarter of 1972. All sales of plasticizers containing PCTs were terminated on March 31# 1972 except for those customers who signed special agreements. These were terminated by June 30# 1972. Certified by W. S.

Sales of all PCB productB other than hydraulic fluids for the Oerman mining industry and dielectric fluids were terminated on January 31/ 1972. Program calls for ter mination of sales to the Oerman mines by November 30, 1972. Certified by P. J. Marsh II. Further sales and delivery of PCBs for dielectric uses for transformers and capacitors will be subject to the same re strictive policies adopted for U.S, domestic and U.S. export sales and the effective date of Implementation will be March 31, 1972. Sales of PCB dielectric fluids were terminated on March 31, 1972 except to approved customers who satisfy Monsanto's special requirements and to Eastern European customers to whom we continue to sell withuTit*^reatreTWS. Certified by P, J. Marsh MMK PROGRAM Mitsubishi Monsanto discontinued the exporting of PCBb except for dielectric purposes on January 31, 1972.
