Nevertheless, the Fund interprets these questions to relate to Manville Corporation, its predecessors or subsidiaries (hereafter "related entities"). The Fund objects to these discovery requests to the extent that they call for production of documents entitled to protection as privileged attorney client communications or attorney work product. To the extent that the information contained herein differs in any respect from any prior response to discovery, these answers shall be deemed to update and supersede such prior answers in any and all cases. The Fund reserves the right to supplement these responses to the extent that new or additional information becomes available. RESPONSES Interrogatory No. 1: Describe in detail Manville's complete corporate history, including, but not limited to, date and place of incorporation, corporate purpose, principal place of business, and location of sales offices, and including any mergers, consolidations, asset purchases, acquisitions or spinoffs which concern or affect manufacture, sale, or distribution of asbestos-containing products.

RESPONSE: For many decades, Manville Corporation or related entities engaged in the manufacture and sale of asbestos containing products, as well as the mining, milling and sale of asbestos fiber. The H. W. Johns Company, a predecessor to Manville Corporation, first commenced business in 1858. Manville Corporation or related entities first became involved in the mining and milling of asbestos in 1916 when it purchased the Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, Quebec. Johns-Manville Corporation was incorporated in New York in 1927. Johns-Manville Products Corporation, incorporated in 1927 in Delaware, was responsible for the manufacture of asbestos containing products. Johns-Manville Sales Corporation, incorporated in 1929 in Delaware, was responsible for the sale of asbestos containing products. In 1975, Johns-Manville Products Corporation merged into Johns-Manville Sales Corporation. A corporate reorganization in 1982 created a new parent corporation known as Manville Corporation, and in 1985 Johns-Manville Sales Corporation became Manville Sales Corporation. 2 Manville Corporation or related entities' principal place of business is Denver, Colorado. upon information available to the Fund the following subsidiaries of Manville Corporation or related entities at one time were related to the asbestos industry.

Copies of such reports and organizational charts are located at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado, and will be made available for inspection ana copying at a time agreed upon by the parties. RECORDS REPOSITORY All of the non-privileged documents in the possession, custody and control of the Fund which were obtained from Manville Corporation and which relate to asbestos litigation are located in a records repository in Denver, Colorado. The Fund assumed the management and operation of this repository on November 28, 1988, the date on which the Manville Corporation bankruptcy plan was consummated. The repositoxy was originally set up and managed by Manville Corporation to house the documents which Manville retrieved and produced in previous litigation. In 1983, pursuant to an order entered by Judge Ira Brown of the Superior Court in the City and County of San Francisco, Manville Corporation was required to produce all non-privileged documents relevant to the coverage litigation which Manville Corporation had commenced against its insurance carriers. That litigation was brought to establish Manville Corporation's right to defense and indemnification for costs incurred in connection with the asbestos litigation. The insurance litigation was ulLimaLely settled for sums in excess of $800 million. In order to comply with Judge Brown's order, Manville Corporation hired numerous paralegals and law clerks and undertook a massive and comprehensive review of the corporate records of the company which existed at various Manville facilities world wide. Manville spent literally millions of dollars to gather and maintain this collection of documents. Similarly, beginning in 1985, Manville Corporation was required to produce the vast majority of these same documents to representatives of the United States Department of Justice, in connection with Manville1a actions against the United States. In those cases, Manville Corporation was claiming a right to indemnification or contribution for expenses incurred in the defense of asbestos health cases brought by workers employed in government owned or controlled shipyards. These documents are currently kept at the document repository referred to above. The repository is now maintained and operated by the Fund. 12 Manville Fund Document Categories The repository contains 19,317 boxes and 968 rolls of microfilm. These documents are grouped in nine categories: 01: 02: 03: 04: 05: 06: 07: 08: 09: Manville plant collection - 10,383 boxes Waukegan plant collection - 4,908 boxes Lompoc plant collection - 149 boxes World Headquarters (WHQ) collection - 3,417 boxes Microfilm from Manville WHQ - 492 rolls Microfilm from Manville WHQ - 361 rolls Documents sent by Local Counsel - 385 boxes Microfilm with Redacted Documents - 115 rolls Documents produced in January, 1989 - 73 boxes The Manville Plant collection (01) includes documents from the Manville, NJ plant; the Nashua, NH plant; the Billerica, MA plant; the Savannah, GA plant; the Laurinburg, NC plant; and the Fort Worth, TX plant. It also includes documents sent to the plant for storage from Manville General Headquarters prior to the early 1970s, when the Headquarters offices were located in New York. In addition, this collection includes documents from plants in the eastern United States which were closed prior to the 1980s. The Waukegan Plant collection (02) includes documents from the Waukegan, IL plant and the Oak Brook, IL office. The Lompoc Plant collection (03) includes documents from the Lompoc, CA plant. The World Headquarters (WHQ) collection (04) includes documents which were obtained from a number of locations, including: the Denison, TX plant; the Franklin, PA plant; the Green Cove Springs, FL plant; the Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, Quebec, Canada; the Long Beach, CA plant; the Lompoc, CA plant; the Marrero, LA plant; the Manville offices in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; the Pompano Beach, FL plant; the Pittsburg, CA plant; the Stockton, CA plant; and the Waukegan, IL plant. The WHQ collection also includes documents obtained from the files maintained at the World Headquarters, including: the Asbestos Fiber Division; the Audio-Visual Department; Manville Contract Units; the Corporate Information Center; the Corporate Relations Department; the Engineering Department; the Executive offices; the Fiberglass Division; the Filtration and Minerals Division; the Finance Department; the Health, Safety, and Environment offices; the Holophane Division; the Industrial Products Division; the Labor Relations offices; the Legal Department; the Patent and Licensing offices; the Research and Development offices; Sales Offices; and Workers' Compensation records. 13 Finally, the WHQ collection also includes: asbestos health claims filed against Manville; bankruptcy related materials; documents from the historical records kept at Manville headquarters ("B-Level"); insurance loss runs and policies; local counsel files; legal department files; and miscellaneous asbestos-related documents. The Microfilm collections (05), (06) also contain documents which were located at World Headquarters. Generally,the same types of documents from the same departments and offices are included. However, at the time of the production in the insurance litigation, these documents were produced on film, usually because the documents were in active files which needed to be maintained for normal operations of the company. Records from the following collections were included in these microfilm collections: patents and licensing department; the Research and Development offices; the Lompoc plant; the Health, Safety, and Environment offices; and the records from the Englewood Cliffs, NJ sales offices; insurance department files; insurance policies; industrial hygiene surveys; administrative bulletins; asbestos medical articles; asbestos health depositions; asbestos health files; Manville Corporation general ledgers from 1919 to 1952; and growth plans from 1971 to 1980. In addition, some document collections produced to insurance companies are also located on film in these collections. The Local Counsel Boxes (07) collection includes documents from Manville's counsel in California, Illinois and New Jersey. The Microfilm collection with the redacted documents (08) contains documents from many locations previously mentioned. However, privileged portions of the documents have been redacted, and the redacted copy was filmed, so that the documents could be produced. The Boxes produced in January, 1989 (09) are documents which had originally been classified as privileged. All privileged documents were reviewed again in 1988 and 1989, and the documents in the 09 collection were determined at that time to be producible. Box Index A Box Index for the repository is provided to reviewers. It took six paralegals three months to index the boxes. The microfilm took an additional three months to index. The finished indices were then spot-checked for accuracy by a supervising paralegal with five years experience in the asbestos litigation. The form used to prepare the index was reviewed in advance by Selected Counsel for the Beneficiaries, a group of three plaintiff's attorneys appointed by the Trust's Board of Trustees to represent the Asbestos Litigation Group. Any changes suggested by these attorneys were incorporated into the form. 14 The index consists of twenty subject categories, twelve document types, and twelve time periods ranging from pre-1930 to post 1985, in five year increments. Each box and microfilm roll is indexed individually. A box may contain more than one type of document, subject area, or time period. The Box Index allows reviewers to: 1) establish priorities for their searches; and 2) eliminate large numbers of boxes with irrelevant documents. For example, many boxes contain nothing but sales invoices or payroll records. A reviewer interested in documents relating to knowledge of asbestos health hazards would be able to eliminate those boxes from his or her search on the basis of the Box Index alone. Reviewers may order a copy of the index so that they can identify the boxes which they wish to review prior to their arrival at the repository. Alternatively, the Fund will provide reviewers with a printout of all the information contained in the index. Finally, the Fund will conduct computer searches of the data base for reviewers who identify the categories in which they are interested. Review Procedures The repository is open to all parties to the asbestos litigation. An informational packet on the repository is provided to all par-ties who express an interest in the collection. It contains information regarding the hours of operation, rules regarding reviews, and procedures for scheduling visits to the repository. Generally speaking, the Fund has been able to accommodate the schedules of persons wishing to conduct a review, and access is often provided with less than one week's notice. Interrogatory No, 2: If Manville has, at any time, been engaged in the mining, manufacturing, producing, processing, compounding, converting, selling, merchandising, supplying, distributing, and/or otherwise placing in the stream of commerce asbestos, asbestos products and/or material containing asbestos, be specific in your answer and state: (a) The trade name(s) of the product(s); (b) The date you first mined, manufactured, produced, processed, compounded, converted, sold, merchandised, supplied, distributed and/or otherwise placed in the stream of commerce your asbestos, asbestos products and/or products containing asbestos; (c) The date your asbestos, asbestos products and/or materials containing asbestos were first placed upon the market; 15 (d) The inclusive dates of mining, manufacturing, producing, processing, compounding, converting, selling, merchandising, supplying, distributing and/or otherwise placing in the stream of commerce; (e) A complete description of the product or products including the components of the product in percentage terms including specifically the percentage of each type of asbestos fiber (i.e., amosite, chrysotile and/or crocidolite) incorporated into the product; (f) A description of the physical appearance of such product; (g) A description of the intended uses of each such product; (h) The specific nature and date of each alteration or change in the composition of the product since the initial date of mining, manufacturing, supplying, distributing, and/or otherwise placing in the stream of commerce. RESPONSE: See Exhibit A attached hereto for a list of asbestos containing insulation or shipyard products manufactured by Manville Corporation or related entities. This list includes the product name, product type, fiber type, percent of fiber by weight, years of production and the date labeled. Additionally, the Fund has in its possession product directories prepared by the Advertising and Public Relations Department from 1959 through 1986. These directories provide information regarding product lines, construction of the product, popular uses, responsible sales division or department, various operating divisions, the plants at which certain products were manufactured, products with a registered trademark:, generic product names and competitive product names. The Fund also has in its possession eighty-three boxes of product literature and brochures. Much of this material came from the Manville Corporate Information Center which contained the corporate library materials for Manville Corporation or related entities. These documents will be produced at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado at a time agreed upon by the parties. In addition to the documents which will be specifically identified and produced at that time, there may be additional documents responsive to this Interrogatory among the general collection of documents in the repository. This collection of documents will be made available to counsel for review. See Exhibit B attached hereto for descriptions and intended uses of the products listed in Exhibit A. 16 The specific composition of asbestos containing products manufactured by Manville Corporation or related entities was changed frequently over the years in order to meet the needs and demands of customers. In general, these changes would have been made on the recommendation of personnel in the Research & Development Department. In addition, minor changes in product formulations were often accomplished at the plant level, depending on the availability and characteristics of certain raw materials. Many of these changes are reflected by manufacturing documents and product specifications which are located in the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado. Manville also developed asbestos free replacement products for many of the asbestos containing products which were manufactured previously. For the most part, these replacement products differed substantially from the products which they replaced, and were not simply products from which asbestos was removed. No asbestos containing products have been manufactured by Manville since 1985. With respect to asbestos fiber, Manville Corporation or related entities divested their interest in asbestos mining and milling operations in 1983. Substitutes for thermal insulation asbestos containing products manufactured by Manville Corporation or related entities and the dates of substitution are as follows: Asbestos containing products SUPEREX-M SUPEREX-1900 301 Cement 450 Cement 500 Cement Non-asbestos Products SUPEREX-1600 SUPEREX-2000 375 Cement 460 Cement 505 Cement Date Replaced 1971/73 1971/73 1971 1972/77 1972 THERMOBESTOS THERMO-12 1972/74 MARINITE 23, 36, & 65 MARINITE XL 1976 METAL-ON (THERMOBESTOS)1 METAL-ON (THERMO--12) 1972/74 SUPEREX-2000 SUPEREX-2 00 OAF 1972 (AF later dropped, making replacement product name SUPEREX-2000) Molded MIN-K (500, 1301, 2000) Flexible MIN-K Molded MIN-K (500, 1301, 2000) Flexible MIN-K 1973/77 1973/77 1 (High Temperature Std.)

Interrogatory No. 7: Describe in detail the type of packages in which Manville sold, distributed or delivered asbestos, material containing asbestos, asbestos products and compounds in the Commonwealth of Virginia, listing: 30 (a) The date each type of package was used; (b) A physical description thereof, including the size of the package, color, and size of any lettering on the package, including warnings of any kind; and (c) A description of any printed material or trademarks that appeared on or in said package, including a verbatim statement of any warnings or cautions; and (d) The name(S) of the most knowledgeable person(s) concerning the packaging of the asbestos and asbestos products. RESPONSE: PRODUCT PACKAGING Asbestos containing pipe covering and block were placed in Kraft cardboard boxes. Asbestos cements were sold in multi-ply Kraft paper bags or heavy duty, polyethylene bags. Asbestos cloth was rolled, wrapped in laminated kraft paper, tied with tape or twine, and placed in burlap tubing. In later years, reinforced paper was used in place of burlap tubing. Asbestos yarns were wound on paper tubes and shipped in fiberboard cartons or wooden boxes. Depending on the specified size, asbestos tubing was either wound on spools or cut to specified lengths, and placed in fiberboard cartons. Asbestos tape was rolled, bound with twine, and placed in fiberboard cartons. Asbestos sheeting was rolled on tubes then wrapped in laminated kraft paper, tied with tape then placed in fiberboard cartons with paper lining between each roll. Larger sheets, which were individually wrapped in kraft paper, were placed in corrugated fiberboard cartons or placed in wooden crates. Printing on the cartons or bags usually included the J-M logo, the name "Johns-Manville", the product name, the size and the weight. Additional language may have been used from time to time. Some photographs and product literature are located at the document repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado, and will be produced at a time agreed upon by the parties. In addition, warning labels were placed on packaging of asbestos containing products beginning in 1964 as set forth below. Also, the Fund has in its possession finished product specifications and purchase specifications for various asbestos containing products which describe the packaging of each product in detail, any alterations thereto, and the physical description thereof, including placement of warning labels. These specifications will be produced at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado, at a time agreed upon by the parties. 31 FIBER PACKAGING Manville Corporation or related entities first began to sell asbestos fiber in 191G. From that time through the early 1920s, fiber was packed by hand in jute bags. From the 1920s to the 1950s, the fiber was fed into spouts which poured fiber into jute bags. Dimensions of some of the jute bags used were as follows: 20" X 3 6" 23" X 4 0" 30" X 4 0" 32" X 4 0" 25 1/2 ii X In addition to jute bags, the use of open mouthed, two or three ply kraft paper bags began in 1940. The standard dimensions of the open mouthed bags were 16 1/4" x 7 1/2". Beginning in the late 1940s, Manville Corporation or related entities began to use valve paper bags in addition to the open mouthed bags. This multi-walled bag was constructed of a specified number of plies, then completely sealed except for a sleeved opening on one corner, through which the fiber was injected. Dimensions of the valve bags ranged from 15" x 6 3/4" to 25" x 7 1/4". Manville Corporation or related entities first began to "pressure pack" fiber in the late 1940s. The pressure pack method allowed the fiber to be automatically weighed out, dropped into a chamber, and compressed into a block. By 1954, all fiber was pressure packed. Jute bags were no longer used after this date unless specifically requested by the customer. Two standard bags were used in conjunction with the pressure pack method: 1) the open mouthed multi-walled kraft paper bag, described above; and 2) the woven polyethylene bag. Pressure packed woven polyethylene bags were constructed of woven polyethylene filaments, which gave the bag strength and durability. The bags were coated on the outside with a polyethylene film to make it impervious to dust and moisture. The bag was then passed through a bag sealer, which automatically applied glue to the flaps and creased the bag together. These woven polyethylene bags may have been "palletized" for shipment by stacking and gluing several bags together to form a stable load for mechanical handling. The size of the mold and resulting package dimensions were related to the density of the fiber grade involved. Varied sizes of pressure packers were developed to accommodate ranges of fiber grades and included the following: 32 11" X 16" X 24" 10" X 16" X 24" 8" X 16" X 24" 7" X 16" X 3 0" In the 1970s, additional equipment was developed which was capable of producing high-density blocks of fiber measuring 9" x 12" x 16." These blocks had a density of 100 pounds per cubic foot, approximately twice the density of a standard pressure packed bag. Additionally, in 1972, Manville Corporation or related entities completed modifications of all pressure packaging equipment to allow production of a standard sized package with dimensions of 9" x 15" x 22 1/2." This new package accommodated fifty kilograms of fiber. Also in the 1970s, Manville Corporation or related entities began to use a newly developed multi-ply unsized kraft paper bag to package fiber which was used in wet papermaking processes. The entire bag could be thrown into the mix, without removing the fiber from the bag. Manville Corporation or related entities developed packing and shipping procedures designed to avoid damage to the bags during shipment. For example, when palletizing bags of fiber, various stacking arrangements were used to create a stable load. Some of the stacking practices implemented by Manville Corporation or related entities included the five bag pattern, three bag pattern, pinwheel pattern, two bag cross pattern and two bag pattern. Additionally, it was necessary to pack the fiber in a fashion which would accommodate the customer's unloading practices. Single decking was used when the customer was capable of handling the full height and weight of units. In this case, a pallet was placed under the bottom layer of the bags so that the mechanical equipment could pick up the entire load. Double decking was used when the customer was incapable of handling a full height and weight unit. In that case, the units which were prepared were approximately one half of the normal height and weight. The types of pallets used included cardboard deck sheets, cardboard deck sheets with stringer, single faced wood, double faced wood and polypropylene sheets. In order to prevent deterioration of the pallet load during transit and subsequent handling by the customer, Manville Corporation or related entities used adhesive to bond the bags together on the pallet. The adhesive was applied to the face of the bag. If the bags were palletized automatically, as were pressure packed bags, the adhesive was automatically applied by a spray gun. If the bags were palletized manually, the adhesive was applied by brush. 33 In an additional effort to provide stable pallets for shipping, Manville Corporation or related entities utilized an automatic wrapping machine which wrapped a single or double layer of stretch film around the pallet load. PRODUCT WARNING LABELS Manville Corporation or related entities placed warning labels on the packaging of its asbestos containing thermal insulation products from which dust might have been released during installation. These labels and dates of their use are as follows: 1964 to 1970 CAUTION THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER. INHALATION OF ASBESTOS IN EXCESSIVE QUANTITIES OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME MAY BE HARMFUL. IF DUST IS CREATED WHEN THIS PRODUCT IS HANDLED, AVOID BREATHING THE DUST. IF ADEQUATE VENTILATION CONTROL IS NOT POSSIBLE, WEAR RESPIRATORS APPROVED BY THE U.S. BUREAU OF MINES FOR PNEUMOCONIOSIS- PRODUCING DUSTS. 1970 to 1972 CAUTION THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER. AVOID BREATHING THE DUST. INHALATION OF ASBESTOS IN EXCESSIVE QUANTITIES OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME MAY BE HARMFUL. IF DUST IS CREATED WHEN THIS PRODUCT IS HANDLED, USE PROPER PROTECTION. IF PROPER DUCT CONTROL CANNOT BE PROVIDED, RESPIRATORS APPROVED BY THE U.S. BUREAU OF MINES FOR PROTECTION AGAINST THE PNEUMOCONIOSIS- PRODUCING DUSTS SHOULD BE WORN. 34 1972 to 1978 CAUTION CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER AVOID CREATING DUST BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM 1978 to 1985 CAUTION CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBERS AVOID BREATHING DUST BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM SMOKING GREATLY INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS BODILY HARM Manville Corporation or related entities began using these warning labels in 1964, after learning of reports from Dr. Irving J. Selikoff that there was a health risk associated with the installation Of some asbestos containing thermal insulation products. The label in use from 1972 to 1978 was prescribed by the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) pursuant to 29 C.F.R. Sec. 1910.1001. In November 1978, this label was revised by Manville Corporation or related entities to include a no-smoking warning. In addition, product literature and brochures which were distributed to customers also addressed potential health risks associated with the installation of asbestos containing thermal insulation products. Warning or caution labels which were used for asbestos containing products manufactured by Manville Corporation or related entities were generally located on the packaging material, such as the bag or box. In addition, the caution information was often also stenciled on the top of the shipping unit. However, the exact location of the warning label depended on the type of product 35 involved. After 1972, labeling practices were dictated in part by United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Asbestos containing pipe covering and block insulation were shipped in cardboard cartons, and a label was printed on a side panels of each carton. For asbestos containing board products, labels were stamped on every sheet or every fifth sheet, depending upon the specific product. Asbestos cements were shipped in multi ply kraft paper bags or heavy duty polyethylene bags, and the warning label appeared on the back panel of each bag. Asbestos cloth, shipped in tubes, contained a label on the exterior of each tube. Asbestos containing millboard products, shipped in corrugated cardboard cartons, had a label located on the top side of the carton. FIBER WARNING LABELS Manville Corporation or related entities placed warning notices on the packaging of its asbestos fiber. The warning labels and the dates of use are as follows: 1969 to 1972 CAUTION THIS BAG CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER. PERSONS EXPOSED TO THIS MATERIAL SHOULD USE ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE DEVICES AS INHALATION OF THIS MATERIAL OVER LONG PERIODS MAY BE HARMFUL. 1972 to 1978 CAUTION CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER AVOID CREATING DUST BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DODILY HARM 1978 to 1983 CAUTION CONTAINS ASBESTOS FIBER 36 AVOID CREATING DUST BREATHING ASBESTOS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM SMOKING GREATLY INCREASES THE RISK OF SERIOUS BODILY HARM The label in use from 1972 to 1978 was prescribed by the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) pursuant to 29 C.F.R., Sec. 1910.1001. In November, 1978, Manville Corporation or related entities revised this label to include a no-smoking warning. Manville Corporation also placed warnings on all bags containing asbestos fiber in five additional languages; i.e.: French, Dutch, German, Spanish and Japanese. Additional language may have been used from time to time. In addition, product literature and brochures which were distributed to customers also addressed potential health risks associated with the use of asbestos. No single person can be considered "most knowledgeable" about more than sixty years of operations of Manville Corporation and related entities. In an effort to be responsive, the Fund will produce corporate organization charts at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado at a time convenient to the parties. Interrogatory No. 8: Identify which products manufactured, distributed or otherwise placed into the stream of commerce by Manville which qualified under any military specifications. For each asbestos-containing product manufactured, distributed, or otherwise placed into the stream Of commerce by Manville that qualified under one or more of the military specifications: (a) State which military specifications it satisfied; and (b) State the inclusive dates that the product was listed on the military qualified products list for that particular military specification. RESPONSE: During World War II and all times subsequent, asbestos products were considered strategic and critical materials under national legislation. Manville Corporation or related entities sold various asbestos products which met various specifications written by the United States Navy, the Maritime Commission and other entities, including the American Society for Testing and 37 Materials (ASTM) Specifications, the Coast Guard Specifications, the Maritime Administration Specifications and various government specifications such as Guide Specifications and Project Specifications. In order to meet many of the standards, new insulation products were developed, resulting in products which were lighter in weight and less flammable. These products also met industry standards. The Fund has in its possession various specification directories which were designed serve as sales aids in identifying products of Manville Corporation or related entities which were involved with U.S. government specifications. These directories include the specification number, the title of the product and the comparable product material of Manville Corporation or related entities which may or may not comply with the specification. The directories will be made available for inspection and copying at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado at a time agreed upon by the parties. In addition to the documents which will be specifically identified and produced at that time, there may be additional documents responsive to this Interrogatory among the general collection of documents in the repository. This collection of documents will be made available to plaintiffs for review. See response to Interrogatory No. 1. Interrogatory No. 9: Was the composition of any of the asbestos-containing thermal insulation products manufactured and/or distributed by Manville, specifically including asbestos content, intentionally different with regard to sales by Manville of said products to the United States Government or any of its agencies as compared to asbestoscontaining thermal insulation products sold and/or distributed by Manville for sale to non-governmental private industrial consumers? If so, state the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) The type of asbestos-containing thermal insulation product in which the composition of the product was intentionally different with regard to sales by Manville to the United States Government or any of its agencies as compared to sales to non-governmental private industrial consumers; The trade name of any such product; The time period during which such intentional variation in the composition of said product(s) occurred; Describe each such intentional variation; Explain why each such intentional variation occurred; and Identify the person or persons who are most knowledgeable concerning these intentional variations. 38 RESPONSE: See response to Interrogatory No. 8. Interrogatory No. 10: Was there any difference in the packaging of any asbestoscontaining thermal insulation product manufactured and/or distributed by Manville and sold to the United States Government or any of its agencies and sold by Manville to non-governmental private industrial consumers? If so, state the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Identify the type of asbestos-containing thermal insulation product which was sold and/or distributed by Manville to the United States Government or any of its agencies in packages that were substantially different from said products sold and/or distributed by Manville to non-governmental private industrial consumers; The trade name of any such product; The time period during which such differences in packaging occurred; If there was a reason for each such difference in packaging, state what each such reason was for each packaging variation; and Identify and describe all variations in the packaging of asbestos-containing thermal insulation product(s) identified above that was sold to the United States Government which distinguished such packaging from the asbestos-containing thermal insulation product that was sold to non-governmental private industrial consumers. RESPONSE: Manville Corporation or related entities sold their products to the U.S. Government in packaging designed to strictly comply with existing federal and military standards for packaging promulgated by the particular purchasing activity. For example. Military Standard 129 (MIL-STD-129), first promulgated in August 1951, was a compilation of various previous standards of the Army, Navy and other defense related institutions. The purpose of MILSTD-129 was to provide uniform marking of shipments. Deviations were only permitted upon the approval of the procuring activity. Unauthorized markings were prohibited unless permitted by the procuring activity or by statute or regulation.

Interrogatory No. 12: When, if at all, did Manville first realize that unprotected exposure to airborne (or inhalation of) asbestos dust and fibers could foreseeably cause illness or disease of any kind? (a) What illnesses and/or diseases did Manville discover could foreseeably be caused, precipitated, or aggravated by such exposure; (b) The specific date Manville acquired awareness of each disease entity and its foreseeable relationship to asbestos exposure; 42 (c) Explain fully how Manville obtained this information, including the source of any such information (i.e., medical articles, papers, journals, or warnings). RESPONSE: Representatives of Manville Corporation or related entities became aware of the confirmation of a relationship between asbestos exposure and the disease known as asbestosis in workers involved in mining, milling and manufacturing operations in the early 1930s. This knowledge was acquired: 1) from published medical literature which discussed the relationship between occupational exposure to asbestos and asbestosis among workers involved in asbestos mining and milling and certain asbestos manufacturing operations; and 2) as a result of claims filed by Manville's employees in 1929 and the early 1930s alleging injury due to occupational exposure to excessive quantities of asbestos. Representatives of Manville Corporation or related entities first learned of a possible relationship between mesothelioma and occupational exposure to asbestos in approximately 1960, when Dr. Wagner of South Africa published an article on this topic. Manville or related entities received a workers' compensation claim which alleged mesothelioma in 1962. Representatives of Manville or related entities first began to discuss a possible relationship between asbestos exposure and lung cancer in approximately 1943. However, for a number of years, there was no certain confirmation of a causal relationship. In 1955, Dr. Doll of Great Britain published an article on this topic, based on his epidemiological study of asbestos factory workers. Dr. Doll concluded that there was an increased incidence of lung cancer among those occupationally exposed to asbestos. Subsequent research has shown that lung cancer in those occupationally exposed to asbestos occurs primarily, if not exclusively, in persons who also use tobacco products. Interrogatory No. 13: When, if at all, did Manville first learn that the United States Government knew that the use or handling of asbestoscontaining products without respiratory protection could foreseeably cause lung diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, or mesothelioma? (a) (b) (c) (d) How did Manville first learn that information; Identify the person or persons at Manville who first learned this information; Identify any documents which support Manville's answer to this interrogatory; identify all persons who have knowledge concerning this interrogatory. 43 RESPONSE; All responsive documents in the possession, custody or control of the Fund will be produced at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado. In addition to the documents which will be specifically identified and produced at that time, there may he additional documents responsive to this request among the general collection of documents in the repository. This collection of documents will be produced at a time agreed upon by the parties. See response to Interrogatory No. 1. Interrogatory No. 14: Did Manville know that one of the customary work methods for the use of asbestos-containing products involved the use of hand saws, knives and scissors to cut or shape asbestos-containing products to fit around pipes? If so, (a) When did Manville first learn this information; (b) After learning this information, did Manville ever conduct any test to determine the amount of airborne asbestos fibers created from the cutting and/or shaping of its asbestos-containing products; (c) If so, state when and where each such test was conducted; (d) If such tests were conducted, identify all such test results, including any correspondence, memorandum, report or document which may reference or contain information about such test results. RESPONSE: Yes. The Fund is unable to state with specificity the exact date such knowledge was acquired by Manville Corporation or related entities but most likely was contemporaneous with the production and sale of such products. See response to Interrogatory No. 2. Beginning in 1968, Manville Corporation or related entities provided the services of an industrial hygienist to Dr. Selikoff and the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York for the purpose of making environmental evaluations, including dust counts, at construction sites where thermal insulation products were being installed. This service was provided in conjunction with the joint scientific research program being conducted by the Mt. Sinai Environmental Sciences Laboratory, Johns-Manville Corporation and the International Association of Heat & Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers Union. Reports of this program were published from time to time and are contained in the Insulation Hygiene Progress Reports from the Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Program, Environmental Sciences Laboratory, Mt. Sinai school of Medicine, New York, NY. These reports, referred to as "green 44 sheets" and published in The Asbestos Worker magazine, were sent to each insulator who belonged to the union, and described possible health hazards and safe handling procedures. From 1970 to 1973, surveys were performed at approximately one hundred of the company's fabrication shops and construction sites by Manville's Environmental Control Department. These tests were conducted under the direction of Edmund M. Fenner, now deceased. In addition, beginning in January 1973, a Manville staff engineer visited company job sites in order to perform dust counts to evaluate the dust levels at various locations. Thereafter, hundreds of tests were taken for airborne concentrations of asbestos.

Interrogatory No. 17; With respect to any plants where Manville produced asbestoscontaining thermal insulation products, describe in detail any changes Manville made in work practices and/or equipment used and/or policies developed during the period of its production of such asbestos insulation products, concerning the safety of its plant employees with respect to their exposure to airborne asbestos dust fibers (which would relate to safety procedures, ventilation systems, cleaning procedures, safety equipment, etc.). For any such changes, practices, or policies: (a) State the nature of each such change, practice, or policy; (b) State the approximate date of such change, practice, or policy; 50 (c) State the reason the changes were made; and (d) Identify any documents in your possession which reflect such change, practice, or policy. RESPONSE: Manville Corporation or related entities responded in a number of ways to various developments with respect to increasing knowledge of health hazards associated with asbestos exposure. These responses included, but were not limited to: 1) the funding of additional research; 2) changes in operating systems within facilities or contract units controlled by Manville Corporation or related entities; 3) the reduction and eventual elimination of asbestos in products manufactured by Manville Corporation or related entities; 4) the promulgation or revision of booklets containing information regarding asbestos health issues; 5) the adoption and modification of warning labels; 6) revision of employee training and education programs; 7) modifications of medical programs offered for employees; 8) modifications of industrial hygiene programs; 9) changes in dust control equipment; 10) changes in job methods or practices; 11) implementation of safer work practices and use of personal protective equipment such as respirators; and 12) modification of product literature. Many or all of these practices have been in effect in Manville plants which manufacture asbestos containing products since the early 1930s. The practices, procedures and technology have changed substantially with the passage of time, in accordance with developing knowledge in the fields of industrial hygiene and occupational medicine. All responsive documents in the possession, custody or control of the Fund will be produced at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado. In addition to the documents which will be specifically identified and produced at that time, there may be additional documents responsive to this request among the general collection of documents in the repository. This collection of documents will be produced at a time agreed upon by the parties. See response to Interrogatory No. 1. Interrogatory No. 18: Has Manville ever given medical examinations to its employees who were exposed to airborne asbestos dust and fibers? If so, state: (a) When said examinations were given; (b) Whether chest x-rays were included in the examinations; (c) The names and current addresses of the persons who conducted these examinations; (d) Whether any employees who were found to have any asbestos-induced abnormality were so advised. 51 RESPONSE: Manville Corporation or related entities provided employees with physical examinations beginning in the 1930s. The frequency and nature of the examination varied considerably over time and from location to location. Generally, chest x-rays were a part of these examinations from the earliest years. Pulmonary function tests were incorporated much later, as that technique gained recognition as a viable tool for the physician. In recent years, the physical examination program for asbestos exposed individuals has been regulated by OSHA.

In addition to the documents which will be specifically identified and produced at that time, there may be additional documents responsive to this request among the general collection of documents in the repository. This collection of documents will be produced at a time agreed upon by the parties. See response to Interrogatory No. 1. Interrogatory No. 20: State whether or not any research or tests were ever conducted by Manville, or at Manville's reguest, to determine the health hazards associated with the unprotected exposure of human beings to the inhalation of airborne asbestos dust and fibers. If so, state: (a) (b) (c) (d) The date(s) of the research; The name and current address of anyone connected with conducting said research; The results of said research; and Identify all documents concerning the above-mentioned research or test(s). RESPONSE: Beginning in 1928, Manville corporation or related entities participated in animal research on the effects of asbestos at the Saranac Laboratory of the Trudeau Foundation in upstate New York. This research was indirectly funded by Manville Corporation or related entities in the form of premium payments and assessments to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, which was the immediate sponsor of the study. Thp amount of these contributions are unknown. In early 1931, a report of this animal experiment was published by Dr. Leroy U. Gardner, the director of the project, in Vol. 13, No. 3 of the Journal of Industrial Hygiene. This report was entitled "Studies on Experimental Pneumonokoniosis. VI. Inhalation Of Asbestos Dust; Its Effect Upon Primary Tuberculosis Infection." In 1929, shortly after the Saranac animal research began, Manville Corporation or related entities, along with other companies, asked the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company to determine whether asbestos dust was an occupational hazard and, if 68 so, the nature of the hazard and methods of control. Manville's contributions again were indirect and took the form of increased premiums and assessments of unknown amounts. The Industrial Hygiene Division of the Department of Public Health of the McGill University Medical School in Montreal assisted Metropolitan Life in this research. The results were published in 1935 in the Public Health Reports. Vol. 50, No. 1, issued by the U.S. Public Health Service. The title of the article was "Effects of the Inhalation of Asbestos Dust on the Lungs of Asbestos Workers" by A. J. Lanza, et al. As a result of some of this early research, the Saranac Laboratory undertook additional research on the health effects of prolonged excessive inhalation of asbestos fiber. The Quebec Asbestos Mining Association ("QAMA"), of which Manville Corporation was a member, contributed to this new research. A report on this research was delivered at the Seventh Saranac Symposium in 1952 and was entitled "Pulmonary Function Studies in Men Exposed for Ten or More Years to Inhalation of Asbestos Fibers" by Fernand Gregoire and George W. Wright. As a result of industry sponsored research, the Saranac Laboratory also published an article entitled "Experimental Studies of Asbestosis," by Arthur J. Vorwald, Thomas M. Durkin and Philip C. Pratt, Archives of Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Medicine, January 1951, Vol. 3, Page 1. In the early 1950s, the Saranac Laboratory obtained funding from the QAMA for an animal research project to investigate the reported association between asbestos exposure and lung cancer. A report entitled "Asbestosis and Pulmonary Cancer" by Arthur J. Vorwald was released in 1952. The QAMA also sponsored an epidemiological study of lung cancer among asbestos miners in the province of Quebec, Canada. The study was conducted by Daniel C. Braun and T. David Truan for the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The study was entitled "An Epidemiological Study of Lung Cancer in Asbestos Miners," and appeared in the June 1958, Vol. 17 issue of the Archives of Industrial Health at Page 634. The Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America conducted inter- trachcal injection experiments on test animals using asbestos fiber taken from an asbestos mine owned by Manville Corporation or related entities. Manville contributed $1,250 to this study, which was completed in 1968. This study is entitled "The Pulmonary toResponse Coalinga Asbestos Dust: A Preliminary Investigation" by Paul Gross, et al. 69 Manville Corporation or related entities contributed personnel and data to a seven to ten year environmental, clinical and epidemiological study of workers exposed to asbestos which was conducted by the Division of Occupational Health of the United States Public Health Service.

Sinai School of Medicine, City University of New York, entitled "Biological Effects of Modified Inorganic Fibrous Microparticles." This study commenced November, 1969 and was completed in October, 1970. The purpose of the study was to: 1) explore the development of new biological test systems for fibrous materials; and 2) determine the effect on biological activity of asbestos fiber which had been coated with various physical or chemical substances. Manville Corporation or related entities contributed $25,000 on related research, which resulted in the publication of a report entitled "Asbestos Hemolysis" by R. J. Schnitzer and F. L. Pundsack, Environmental Research, January 1970. Manville Corporation or related entities contributed $70,000 to the Industrial Hygiene Foundation of America's "Fibrous Dust Study." The purpose of this program was to investigate factors 70 involved in the pathogenicity of major varieties of asbestos fiber to determine the nature of ferruginous bodies.

In January, 1977, Manville Corporation or related entities contributed $250,000 to the Mount Sinai School of Medicine to fund a mesothelioma treatment study and program. This was a cooperative effort by Manville and the International Association of Heat & 73 Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers Union, which also contributed $250,000. The director of the Program was Irving J. Selikoff, M.D. Manville Corporation or related entities released a report on August 2, 1982, which set forth the findings of a study performed for Manville by Epidemiology Resources, Inc. This report, entitled "Projections of Asbestos-Related Disease 1980-2009" attempted to project the incidence of asbestos-related disease over the next three decades. On information and belief, the Fund states that Manville Corporation or related entities continue to monitor current workers and retirees who have previously worked with asbestos, as a part of the overall surveillance program incorporated in MESHIMS (Manville's Environmental Safety and Health Information Management System). Beginning in 1968, Manville Corporation or related entities also sponsored studies relating to possible risks associated with the installation or insulation products. removal of asbestos containing thermal In that year, Manville joined in the establishment of the Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Program, Mount Sinai School of Medicine. The purposes of this study were as follows: (1) to develop improved methods for minimizing inhalation by insulation workers of dust and fumes encountered in their work; (2) to disseminate knowledge of those improved methods of dust and fume control wherever they may be applied advantageously; and (3) to offer cooperation, advice and assistance universal adoption of these methods. toward The Program Director was Irving J. Selikoff, M.D. In 1969-1970, Thomas J. Weeks and Allen F. Burns conducted tests for the Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Program at Manville's Research and Engineering Center at Manville, New Jersey. The report on these tests was entitled "Performance of Dust Respirators against a Fibrous Dust," and was published in American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, (May--June 1970)- In addition, in 1968, the Clinica del Lavoro, Milano, Italy, initiated an epidemiological study of the biological effects of asbestos dust among the Port of Genoa and LaSpezia Arsenal insulation workers. This study was sponsored by the Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health, which was, in turn, funded by QAMA. Manville Corporation or related entities contributed to the funding of the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association.

A 20-minute slide/tape program on health aspects of working with asbestos. A 25-minute motion picture on occupational health risks associated with asbestos fiber. A newspaper entitled "The Asbestos Report" published by JohnsManville Corporation in 1976. In 1980, Manville Corporation or related entities published the 1980-1981 edition of the Health, Safety and Environment Catalog which, in addition to the above, included: "A Study of the Problem of Asbestos in Water," which was a reprint of a report by the American Water Works Association Research Foundation. This report was the result of intensive study and literature search and covered all aspects of the use and safety of asbestos-cement pipe materials. "Asbestos Facts," published by Johns-Manville Corporation, was a series of one-page fact sheets covering various aspects of the asbestos and health issue. "Asbestos Minerals in Modern Technology," published by Johns- Manville Corporation, was a comprehensive review of mineralogy. "Does AsbestoR-fpmpnt Pip Pose a Health Hazard?" This reprint of an article in California Builder & Engineer discussed the health guestions regarding the use of asbestos- cement pipe. "Dust Control Technigues in the Asbestos Industry," published by Johns-Manville Corporation, summarized engineering efforts at Manville to control the emission of asbestos in mining, milling and manufacturing operations. "The Asbestos Issue: A Matter of Principle," published by Johns-Manville Corporation in 1979, reported on issues related to asbestos health concerns and covered research efforts, Manville health programs and actions. "Today: Special Asbestos Update," published by Johns-Manville Corporation, covered asbestos policy, benefits and applications, types of diseases and groups affected. Manville Corporation or related entities cooperated with the Asbestos Information Association in the production of the following booklets: 81 "Recommended Work Practices - Molding and Fabrication of Asbestos-Containing Plastic Products." "Recommended Work Practices - Fabrication and Use of Asbestos Friction Materials." "Recommended Work Practices - Fabrication and Use of Asbestos Paper Products." "Recommended Work Practices - Shop and Field Fabrication of Asbestos Sheet Products." "Recommended Work Practices - Use and Handling of Asbestos Textile Products." Additionally, Manville Corporation or related entities participated in 1971 through the Occupational Health and Safety Committee of the National Insulation Contractors Association in the preparation of a booklet entitled "Safety Reminders." Over the years, Manville Corporation or related entities also produced, published or distributed for use by employees a number of booklets which addressed a number of different safety and health issues in Manville operations. Many of these booklets addressed safe work practices to minimize exposure to dust. In addition, until Manville Corporation or related entities ceased manufacturing asbestos containing materials, there were many oral presentations and meetings at the plant level concerning safety practices related to asbestos exposure. Manville Corporation or related entities directly or indirectly advised its contract unit personnel to utilize ventilation equipment, good housekeeping procedures and personal protective equipment, such as respirators, at the sites where finished insulation products were being worked with and applied. Beginning in 1968, Manville Corporation or related entities provided the services of an industrial hygienist to Dr. Selikoff and the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York for the purpose of making environmental evaluations, including dust counts, at construction sites where thermal insulation products were being installed. Some Manville contract units were included in this program. This service was provided in conjunction with the joint scientific research program being conducted by the Mt. Sinai Environmental Sciences Laboratory, Johns-Manville Corporation and the International Association of Heat & Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers Union. Reports of this program were published from time to time and are contained in the Insulation Hygiene Progress Reports from the Insulation Industry Hygiene Research Program, Environmental Sciences Laboratory, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY. These reports, referred to as "green 82 sheets" and published in The Asbestos Worker magazine, were sent to each insulator who belonged to the union, and described possible health hazards and safe handling procedures. Manville Corporation or related entities also made efforts to educate contract unit employees regarding the risks associated with asbestos exposure. Manville participated in and contributed to the informational and educational program of the National insulation Manufacturers Association (NIMA). This program was designed to educate the insulation contractors' industry with respect to the health aspects of exposure to asbestos. To this end, NIMA sponsored a number of regional meetings to aid contractors in minimizing or eliminating the inhalation of asbestos fibers by those who worked with, installed or applied asbestos containing thermal insulation products. In 1967 and 1968, approximately eight hundred insulation contractors attended these regional meetings. Approximately three hours in length, these programs included a review of: 1) the biological effects of exposure to asbestos; 2) the threshold limit value for asbestos; 3) methods for evaluating concentrations of dust; and 4) engineering and method recommendations designed to assist the contractors in dust abatement and environmental control. The highlights of these presentations were published in several booklets prepared by NIMA. One such booklet, entitled "Recommended Safe Practices for Handling and Applying Thermal Insulation Products Containing Asbestos" printed May 1, 1968, was written by members of the NIMA Education and Information Committee. This booklet was distributed during the 1968 meetings. In addition, the booklet was distributed to customers, employees and other interested parties. The chairman of the NIMA Education and Information Committee was Clifford L. Sheckler, who, at that time, was Manager, Accident Prevention and Health Administration at Manville Corporation. Other members of the committee included John Vyverberg, OwensCorning Fiberglass Corporation; Harry Mesler, Ruberoid Company; Leon Horowitz, Certain-Teed Corporation; and Jack Barnhart, Executive Secretary of NIMA. Manville's communications to applicators were primarily oral and in the form of implementing work practices. At regular meetings, Manville Corporation or related entities communicated with its district managers in charge of contract units as to the possible hazard. In turn, district managers and other supervisory personnel working under their direction discussed possible hazards with insulation applicators. 83 Moreover, insulation applicators who were employed by Manville Corporation or related entities were members of the Heat and Frost Insulators and Asbestos Workers Union, which was actively involved in educational efforts regarding possible health hazards associated with asbestos exposure. The union members who were employed by Manville were, in turn, addressing questions relating to health issues to supervisory personnel at the contract units. Thus, there was an ongoing dialogue with employees regarding these topics. Manville Corporation or related entities also issued various memoranda or directives relating to the safe handling of asbestos containing thermal insulation materials. Many of these memoranda were later incorporated in Manville's "Fab Shop Guide," first published in 1971. This guide addressed all aspects of the use and installation of asbestos containing thermal insulation materials, and was provided to Manville management and employees at locations where warehouse or field insulation fabrication shops were installed. The guide recommended equipment, layout and procedures designed to comply with OSHA and corporate safety, health and environmental control standards. In addition, Manville Corporation and related entities prepared and distributed to its applicators a manual entitled "Contract Unit Procedures," first issued in 1964. In July 1981, Manville1s Industrial Products Division Contract Department prepared and distributed the "Asbestos Control Guide," to serve as a guide in the removal of asbestos containing insulation materials.

All responsive, non-privileged documents in the possession, custody or control of the Fund will be produced at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado.

This collection of documents will be produced at a time agreed upon by the parties. l. See response to Interrogatory No. Interrogatory No. 37: Identify with particularity each lawsuit (including actions in which appeals are concluded, and actions which were subsequently settled) wherein the finder of fact, either judge or jury, has found Manville liable for punitive damages due to an asbestosinduced injury (including death) or disease that was alleged to have been caused, in whole or in part, by asbestos-containing products that were alleged to have been manufactured, sold, or distributed by Manville, and state the amount of the award. If such punitive damage has been awarded, state the amount of punitive damages Manville actually paid. 94 RESPONSE: The Fund objects to this Interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome, and not reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence. Interrogatory No. 38: Has Manville sold and/or supplied any asbestos-containing products to the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia, between 1928 and 1980? If your answer to this interrogatory is affirmative, state: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) The name of the business entity to which products containing asbestos were distributed; Whether said products were manufactured and/or distributed by Manville directly or through an intermediary, agent, subsidiary, or other company; The dates that said products were manufactured and/or distributed; The trade name of said product(s) manufactured and/or distributed; The quantity of said product(s) distributed; and The names and current addresses of any individuals employed by you or formerly employed by you who have knowledge of the sale. RESPONSE: A search has been conducted of computerised sales records for the Manville Corporation Industrial Products Division, which cover the period from 1972 through 1985. Documents reflecting sales of asbestos containing products to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia, for the years 1972 through 1974 have been identified. To the extent additional sales records exist, they would be contained among the records stored at the records repository maintained by the Fund in Denver, Colorado. For the most part, these invoices cover sales of Manville products since the late 1960s. However, the sales records even for this time period are not complete. Other sales records may have been destroyed pursuant to the ordinary record retention policies of Manville. Based on a search performed on the Box Index data base described in response to Interrogatory No. 1, there are a total of 5,648 boxes which contain only sales invoices or other records relating to sales of Manville products. The documents in these boxes are not organized, and in order to identify sales of particular products or sales to particular customers, it would be necessary to review each sales document. 95 Moreover, there are approximately 2,325 additional boxes which contain sales records as well as other documents potentially relevant to the asbestos litigation. However, not every document in these boxes would need tn be reviewed if the reviewer were interested only in sales records. The burden of searching these records is no greater for another party to the litigation than it would be for the Fund, and consequently, pursuant to Rule 4:8(f) of the Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure, the Fund elects to produce business records in lieu of response to a written interrogatory. In the event that the counsel elects to search these boxes, a printout of the relevant box numbers can be provided. All responsive documents in the possession, custody or control of the Fund will be produced at the records repository maintained i5y the Fund in Denver, Colorado. In addition to the documents which will be specifically identified and produced at that time, there may be additional documents responsive to this request among the general collection of documents in the repository. This collection of documents will be produced at a time agreed upon by the parties. See response to Interrogatory No. 1.
