Dr. Paul Kotin's seven-page curriculum vitae, revised August 13, 1979, when he was Johns-Manville's senior vice president for health, safety and environment in Denver (since 1974). A pathologist, Kotin had earlier been at the University of Southern California and the National Cancer Institute, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and dean of Temple University's medical school. Among his memberships he lists the Scientific Advisory Board of the Council for Tobacco Research (1952 to 1965) and the scientific committee of the Quebec Asbestos Mining Association's Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health (1966 to 1974).

What it shows

The CV comes from the Motley 1,000 set (marked "M-884") and was used in the asbestos litigation, where Kotin testified for J-M; see his 1979 videotaped deposition. Before joining J-M he had served on advisory bodies for both the tobacco industry and the Quebec asbestos miners' research institute.
