Agent Orange Product Liability Litigation Collection (2652) Finding Aid
Collection/Finding Aid Item Number: 26520000000
The collection is arranged into five series: (1) Discovery and Reference, (2) Internal Communication, (3) Trial Records, (4) Deposition and Exhibits, and (5) Medical Records. Due to the breadth of distinctive topics and focus areas of the litigation, each series has also been divided into subseries.
(1) Discovery and Reference
The first series, Discovery and Reference, includes materials gathered during the litigation by defendants and defendants’ legal discovery firms. Defendant discovery and database firms included Carr, Jordan, Coyne & Savits (firm); The Travelers Insurance Company; and J. Feuerstein Systems, which all assisted in the document production and selection process. The series has five subseries,
(1.1) Discovery, (1.2) Weldon Spring Chemical Plant, (1.3) Military Documentation, (1.4) Scientific, and (1.5) Case Law.
(1.1) Discovery (30 linear ft.)
The Discovery subseries includes correspondence; memoranda; government documents; document digests; reports; studies; contracts; legislative bills and transcripts; interview, conference and meeting summaries; FOIA requests; database searches and disease profiles created or gathered by defendants or defendants’ legal discovery firms. The U.S. Department of Justice facilitated the production of government documents during the discovery process, sending documents in batches based on defendant and plaintiff document requests. The subseries is arranged chronologically with materials within previously bound volumes arranged numerically by volume number.
(1.2) Weldon Spring Chemical Plant (13 linear ft.)
The Weldon Spring Chemical Plant subseries includes proposals; correspondence; memoranda; manuals; specifications; schematics; diagrams; equipment lists; agreements; requests for quotations; purchase orders; meeting summaries; weekly reports of activities; progress reports; an environmental impact statement; and inventories related to the Thompson Chemicals Corporation and Stearns-Roger joint venture at Weldon Spring Chemical Plant in their failed attempt to turn the government owned facility into an Agent Orange production facility. The subseries also includes document reference sheets; coding forms; database searches and correspondence by Thompson Chemicals and other chemical companies who felt the evidence provided by these documents was strong enough to get Thompson Chemicals reinstated in the trial after being granted summary judgment in May 1983. The subseries is arranged chronologically with oversize schematics placed either at the end of the subseries or at the end of the inventory.
(1.3) Military Documentation (9 linear ft.)
The Military Documentation subseries includes reports; studies; correspondence; memoranda; manuscript drafts; map and book photocopies; manuals; briefings; evaluations; summaries; situation reports; daily staff journals; database searches; and medical statistics and reports from U.S. military departments and related officials. The subseries also contains analyses of representative plaintiffs’ exposure to herbicide while in Vietnam based on their known stationed locations. The subseries is arranged chronologically.
(1.4) Scientific (14 linear ft.)
The Scientific subseries includes reports; studies; congressional hearings and statements; literature reviews; conference proceedings; progress reports; workshop drafts; and book sections related to scientific research and discussion on Agent Orange, herbicides and dioxin. The subseries contains some of the Bionetics Research Laboratories reports, whose results influenced the government to halt the usage of Agent Orange in 1970. It also includes Thompson Chemicals Corporation/Superior Solvents site documents related to the positive samples of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin found by the EPA in the soil where the chemical company was located. The subseries is arranged chronologically with oversize materials placed at the end of the inventory.
(1.5) Case Law (6 linear ft.)
The Case Law subseries includes correspondence; class briefs; legal opinions; judgments and orders; petitions for writ of mandamus; state statutes; notices of lien reports; articles and court transcripts from other court cases and legislature that appeared to relate to the litigation and the defendants’ positions and arguments. The subseries is arranged chronologically.
(2) Internal Communication
The second series, Internal Communication, concerns materials created and/or received by the defendants during the litigation in preparation for the trial that generally were not intended to serve as official court documents. In addition to the materials defendants created for themselves as resources for the litigation, these materials capture communication within a firm, particularly Budd Larner who represented Thompson Chemical, and communication between defendants, plaintiffs, legal discovery firms, clients, and/or other groups. The series is divided into four subseries: (2.1) Correspondence, (2.2) Trial, (2.3) Deposition, and (2.4) Financial.
(2.1) Correspondence (8 linear ft.)
The Correspondence subseries includes correspondence and lists of mail received with notices to all counsel; deposition scheduling; meeting summaries; motions; memoranda; document lists; government documents; affidavits; case law; bills and invoices; allocations; and briefs that were received or created by the Budd Larner law firm and other defendants during the litigation. The subseries also contains internal Budd Larner office memoranda related to the litigation. The subseries is arranged chronologically.
(2.2) Trial (8.5 linear ft.)
The Trial subseries includes trial books; interoffice communication; meeting summaries; memoranda; notes; filing procedures; jury analysis data and opt-out lists. The defendants used trial books, which contain a summary on a particular organization or topic; plus relevant testimonies and documents, to provide an internal overview on a topic. The subseries is arranged chronologically. Boxes 87 and 88A contain restricted materials and are closed until 2061.
(2.3) Deposition (8 linear ft.)
The Deposition subseries includes outlines; witness/deponent lists and profiles; deposition summaries; medical records requests; schedules; and notes relating to the defendants’ preparations for depositions. The subseries is arranged chronologically and then alphabetically if applicable.
(2.4) Financial (1 linear ft)
The Financial subseries includes bills; timesheets; and invoices related to trial matters such as transcriptions; discovery; and databases. The subseries is arranged chronologically.
(3) Trial Records
The third series, Trial Records, contains materials created during the litigation as part of the official court record. The series contains 17 subseries: (3.1) Court Proceedings, (3.2) Pleadings, (3.3) Complaints, (3.4) Interrogatories, (3.5) Document Production, (3.6) Government Contract Defense, (3.7) Class Certification, (3.8) Plaintiff Pleadings and Correspondence, (3.9) Statutes of Limitations, Venue, and Jurisdiction, (3.10) Liability, (3.11) Jury Selection, (3.12) Media Coverage, (3.13) Settlement, (3.14) Attorney’s Fees, (3.15) Opt-Out and Appeal Cases, (3.16) Joint Appendices, and (3.17) Working Files. The ordering of the subseries within the series generally attempts to mimic the progressions of the trial with elements that began earlier such as complaints, document requests and the Government Contract Defense preceding liability, settlement and opt-out and appeal cases. The subseries also attempts to reflect the arrangement and categories chosen by the collection’s creators.
(3.1) Court Proceedings (16 linear ft.)
The Court Proceedings subseries includes orders; opinions; recommendations; and hearing transcripts, primarily from Agent Orange Product Liability Litigation court officials. The subseries also contains procedural motions and memoranda from defendants and plaintiffs. The subseries is arranged chronologically with volumes being grouped together with the date of the last volume in the set determining where the set is placed within the subseries. Joint hearings transcripts with two court officials listed in the title are placed separately from transcripts with only a single listed official.
(3.2) Pleadings (16 linear ft.)
The Pleadings subseries is a set of previously bound volumes of court records from the litigation that appears to have been created by the defendants and arranged numerically by volume. The Court of Appeals, Second Circuit volumes are placed at the end of the subseries. Materials within the volumes include legal memoranda; motions; correspondence; interrogatory answers; orders; recommendations; statements; petitions; notices; and objections. Most volumes have an index at the end of the volume. Pleading volume 32 does not appear in this subseries.
(3.3) Complaints (2 linear ft.)
The Complaints subseries includes complaints from the plaintiffs toward the defendants and towards the United States government and Veterans’ Administration. The subseries also contains defendants’ answers and responses to the complaints as well as defendants’ third-party complaints against the United States. The subseries is arranged chronologically with previously bound volumes being grouped together with the date of the last volume in the set determining where it is placed chronologically.
(3.4) Interrogatories (5 linear ft.)
The Interrogatories subseries includes interrogatories, responses and answers from the plaintiffs, defendants, and the United States, as well as recommendations and orders from the special master and magistrate. The subseries is arranged chronologically with volumes being grouped together with the latest date determining where the volume set is placed.
(3.5) Document Production (7 linear ft.)
The Document Production subseries includes document requests; confidentiality and protective orders; correspondence; memoranda; and other documents related to the litigation discovery process for all parties involved. The subseries also covers the United States’ claims of privilege, such as state secrets; responses to a 1983 Diamond Shamrock company memorandum regarding document destruction; attempts to focus and consolidate government document discovery; and the hiring and recommendations of Special Master Sol Schreiber. The subseries is arranged chronologically.
(3.6) Government Contract Defense (11 linear ft.)
The Government Contract Defense subseries includes defendants’ Agent Orange contracts with the government; relevant pretrial orders; and motions for summary judgment with exhibits and legal memoranda. After Judge Pratt determined that four of the defendants could be dismissed using the Government Contract Defense to gain summary judgment, the subseries focuses on the memoranda and motions for reconsideration that brought Thompson Chemicals Corporation and Hercules Incorporated back into the case, and defendants’ arguments based on the Defense Production Act. The subseries is arranged chronologically.
(3.7) Class Certification (4 linear ft.)
The Class Certification subseries includes a determination of what cases should be transferred into the multidistrict litigation and be part of the class; dissemination of the class notice including how to locate veterans and what media to use; motions for intervention; decertification; and class notice certificates.
