Union Carbide's written discovery responses in a Cameron County, Texas asbestos suit brought by the estate of John Henry Villarreal. The responses are limited to its Brownsville plant. They object to many requests, admit asbestos was used and that it knew of its presence at Brownsville, deny most admissions on lack of information, and state that its knowledge of health hazards 'developed gradually'. A March 12, 2001 cover letter and Rule 194 disclosure responses are also included.
