The ceremonies at the nearly-$1-billion complex coincided with the start of operations of the facility's major olefins plant, which has a design capacity of 150,000 metric tons a year of ethylene and 95,000 metric tons a year of propy- lene. The massive complex will be operated by Instituto Venezolano de Petro- quimica, Venezuela's petrochemical agency, of which General Valentin Montana Madriz is director general. Officials of the Pullman Kellogg division of Pullman Incorporated and of Kellogg Pan American Corporation, a Pullman Kellogg affiliate, attended the dedication ceremonies. Kellogg had full design, engineering, procurement, and construction responsibility for the olefins unit. Kellogg also had overall management responsibility for the critically-important technical services --- or offsites -- for the entire complex. GERALD LIBRARY GERALD R.

This massive support system has been designed to permit 100 percent expansion at the E1 Tablazo site, in keeping with the Venezuelan government's plan to continue strengthening its petrochemical capabilities. The Kellogg-designed-and-constructed olefins unit receives its feed from a natural gas extraction facility at El Tablazo which has a design capacity of 170,000 metric tons a year of ethane and 150,000 metric tons of propane. In turn, the olefins unit will supply feed to a 50,000-metric-ton-a-year low-density poly- ethylene plant and a 50,000-metric-ton-a-year mono and polyvinyl chloride unit. It also supplies both ethylene and propylene for export. Other processing units in the complex include two 330,000-metric-ton-a-year ammonia plants; two 400,000-metric-ton-a-year urea plants; a 15,000-metric-ton-a- year polystyrene facility; and a chlorine-caustic soda plant capable of producing 45,000 metric tons a year of chlorine and 35,000 metric tons a year of caustic soda. /more-- FORD : LIBRAR.

Both companies are affiliates of the Pullman Kellogg division of Pullman Incorporated, Houston. The contracts call for design, engineering, procurement and construction advisory services for the large-scale, single-train ammonia plant, which is part of an ammonia/urea complex previously announced by IFFCO. Kellogg India Limited will provide inspection and expediting services within India, and will serve as construction advisors. Value of the ammonia awards was not revealed, but IFFCO offi- cials said the foreign exchange cost of the entire Phulpur project is estimated at $109 million. The undisclosed rupee cost of the project, they say, will be met by the cooperative members of IFFCO, the government of India, state governments, and other Indian the financing institutions. FORD & LIBRARY GERALD /more - - Eastern Hemisphere: Kellogg International Corporation, 62/72 Chiltern Street, London, W1M, 2AD (01) 486-4444 INDIAN AMMONIA PLANT 2.2.2 The Phulpur complex, which will use naphtha as a feedstock for the key ammonia unit, will have an annual capacity of 495,000 tons of urea. IFFCO officials feel this could add five million tons of food production each year. Anticipated completion date of the complex is 1979. Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited is comprised of more than 30,000 village cooperatives with an aggregate member- ship of 20 million farmers spread over ten Indian states. Last year, Pullman Kellogg completed a similar facility for IFFCO, as part of a major agricultural chemical complex at Kalol, Gujarat. That plant, which uses natural gas as feedstock, was the first large-scale, single-train, all-centrifugal Kellogg ammonia plant in India. An earlier Pullman Kellogg plant with a 360-ton-a-day capacity, went into operation in India in 1967. - 30 - #20 - 4/1/76 FORD May 11, 1976 To Washington Office of Kellogg Information on Oil Conference in Houston on June 23, 1976 sent to Mr. Hallinan by mfc FORD i LIBRARY GERALD Pullman Incorporated 1300 Three Greenway Plaza East Houston, Texas 77046 Telephone (713) 626-5600 Pullman Kellogg Telex 762556 Cable Monologg Houston AUG 30 1976 August 26, 1976 Ms. Stephanie Green Associate Research and Publications The National Council for United States-China Trade 1050 Seventeenth Street, N.W. Washington, D. C. 20036 Dear Stephanie: We were generally quite pleased with the feature you did on PRC activities and, as we discussed the other day, we have reviewed this carefully here at Kellogg. In reviewing it we made a number of changes, all of which must be made before the story appears in print. We realize that you will perhaps question some of these; however, each one has been discussed carefully and it has been agreed that this approved text is the only text which we will permit. I think you will agree that it retains most of the information; clarifies some of it significantly and does not detract from the very excellent picture you verbally portrayed. You will perhaps recall, Stephanie, that the initial request for the Council to discuss PRC with Kellogg was made with Nick and that we obtained approval, after much discussion here, on the condition that this was to be a general conversation for Council briefing. The initial request was not for permission to be a major feature, although it was indicated that some material might be used in your magazine and such material would be cleared with us. This change to a major feature was not originally anticipated by our management when the request came in. We have attempted to cooperate with you completely on it and the approved draft is acceptable to us only on the condition that it be run as edited. As a major member of the Council, we do insist that this condition be adhered to. Congratulations on a very good story. We have ordered a series of pictures and will send them with captions. They will be enroute shortly. Best personal regards, nw FORD LIBRARY UTV83 Ray Waters Manager, Public Relations P.S. Please use this retyped draft for typesetting.

C. 20006 Dear Mr. Hallinan: I am resorting to a letter since, as you know, I am away this week with Liaison Office personnel visiting various iron mines. I was able to reach Mr. Anthony Bryan of Cameron last Wednesday, and he confirmed there should be no difficulty in making their aircraft available for Washington/Houston on January 9 and Houston/New Orleans on January 13. However, Mr. Bryan did request that, if possible, the Council/ISC/ Cameron dinner be scheduled for Monday evening, January 10th, instead of Tuesday, the 11th, since he will be away from Houston Tuesday evening. I recognize we had tentatively scheduled the Kellogg dinner for Monday, but if plans have not progressed too far, perhaps Tuesday evening would be suitable as a kind of "farewell" if you will to the group. We would not make any other changes to the program, in the sense that during Monday they would visit with you and Tuesday with Cameron and NASA. We may receive some further input from the Chinese during the trip this week, and we will be in touch. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you December 6th at 2:00 PM. Kind regards.

We would like very much to obtain a copy of the speech, if possible; we are planning a conference on technology trans- fer to the People's Republic of China for next spring and at present striving to collect all relevant documentation. Pullman Kellog's contribution to developing countries in the realm of technology has been very great, and we are especially interested in your reflections and those of other company officers on the transfer process. In addition to your paper, if you are aware of other company literature on Pullman's projects in China to which we may have access, we would be very grateful to receive them.

At the time that the Council organized the various committees representing different interests of its members we, because of our diversification, did not seek to identify ourselves with any particular group. While our current con- tracts in the PRC are in the ammonia-fertilizer field we as a company are also active in petroleum, petrochemical and chemical plant design engi- neering and construction. The Petroleum Committee of the National Council appears to have the broadest coverage as related to the Pullman Kellogg activities and accordingly we would like to request an opportunity to participate in the Petroleum Committee. Pullman Kellogg is represented in Washington through the office of Pullman Incorporated, and Mr. E.M. Hallinan in Washington, Mr. W.M. Buryn in Houston, as well as myself in New York are already on the mailing list of the National Council. It would be most appreciated if Pullman Kellogg can be included on the Petroleum Committee and the same individuals also kept informed with regard to its program and activities.

The massive complex will be operated by Instituto Venezolano de Petro-\nquimica, Venezuela's petrochemical agency, of which General Valentin Montana Madriz\nis director general.\nOfficials of the Pullman Kellogg division of Pullman Incorporated and of\nKellogg Pan American Corporation, a Pullman Kellogg affiliate, attended the\ndedication ceremonies. Kellogg had full design, engineering, procurement, and\nconstruction responsibility for the olefins unit.

In turn,\nthe olefins unit will supply feed to a 50,000-metric-ton-a-year low-density poly-\nethylene plant and a 50,000-metric-ton-a-year mono and polyvinyl chloride unit.\nIt also supplies both ethylene and propylene for export.\nOther processing units in the complex include two 330,000-metric-ton-a-year\nammonia plants; two 400,000-metric-ton-a-year urea plants; a 15,000-metric-ton-a-\nyear polystyrene facility; and a chlorine-caustic soda plant capable of producing\n45,000 metric tons a year of chlorine and 35,000 metric tons a year of caustic\nsoda.\n/more--\nFORD : LIBRAR.\nVENEZUELA DEDICATES IVP 3.3.3\nFrank H.

Both companies are affiliates of the\nPullman Kellogg division of Pullman Incorporated, Houston.\nThe contracts call for design, engineering, procurement and\nconstruction advisory services for the large-scale, single-train\nammonia plant, which is part of an ammonia/urea complex previously\nannounced by IFFCO. Kellogg India Limited will provide inspection\nand expediting services within India, and will serve as construction\nadvisors.\nValue of the ammonia awards was not revealed, but IFFCO offi-\ncials said the foreign exchange cost of the entire Phulpur project\nis estimated at $109 million. The undisclosed rupee cost of the\nproject, they say, will be met by the cooperative members of IFFCO,\nthe government of India, state governments, and other Indian\nthe\nfinancing institutions.\nFORD & LIBRARY GERALD\n/more - -\nEastern Hemisphere: Kellogg International Corporation, 62/72 Chiltern Street, London, W1M, 2AD (01) 486-4444\nINDIAN AMMONIA PLANT\n2.2.2\nThe Phulpur complex, which will use naphtha as a feedstock\nfor the key ammonia unit, will have an annual capacity of 495,000\ntons of urea. IFFCO officials feel this could add five million\ntons of food production each year. Anticipated completion date\nof the complex is 1979.\nIndian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited is comprised\nof more than 30,000 village cooperatives with an aggregate member-\nship of 20 million farmers spread over ten Indian states.\nLast year, Pullman Kellogg completed a similar facility for\nIFFCO, as part of a major agricultural chemical complex at Kalol,\nGujarat. That plant, which uses natural gas as feedstock, was\nthe first large-scale, single-train, all-centrifugal Kellogg\nammonia plant in India. An earlier Pullman Kellogg plant with a\n360-ton-a-day capacity, went into operation in India in 1967.\n- 30 -\n#20 - 4/1/76\nFORD\nMay 11, 1976\nTo Washington Office of Kellogg\nInformation on Oil Conference in Houston on June 23, 1976\nsent to Mr. Hallinan by mfc\nFORD i LIBRARY GERALD\nPullman Incorporated\n1300 Three Greenway Plaza East\nHouston, Texas 77046\nTelephone (713) 626-5600\nPullman Kellogg\nTelex 762556\nCable Monologg Houston\nAUG 30 1976\nAugust 26, 1976\nMs. Stephanie Green\nAssociate\nResearch and Publications\nThe National Council for\nUnited States-China Trade\n1050 Seventeenth Street, N.W.\nWashington, D.

In reviewing it we made a number of changes, all of which must be made\nbefore the story appears in print. We realize that you will perhaps question\nsome of these; however, each one has been discussed carefully and it has been\nagreed that this approved text is the only text which we will permit. I think\nyou will agree that it retains most of the information; clarifies some of it\nsignificantly and does not detract from the very excellent picture you verbally\nportrayed.\nYou will perhaps recall, Stephanie, that the initial request for the\nCouncil to discuss PRC with Kellogg was made with Nick and that we obtained\napproval, after much discussion here, on the condition that this was to be a\ngeneral conversation for Council briefing. The initial request was not for\npermission to be a major feature, although it was indicated that some material\nmight be used in your magazine and such material would be cleared with us. This\nchange to a major feature was not originally anticipated by our management when\nthe request came in. We have attempted to cooperate with you completely on it\nand the approved draft is acceptable to us only on the condition that it be run\nas edited. As a major member of the Council, we do insist that this condition\nbe adhered to.\nCongratulations on a very good story. We have ordered a series of pictures\nand will send them with captions. They will be enroute shortly.\nBest personal regards,\nnw\nFORD LIBRARY UTV83\nRay Waters\nManager, Public Relations\nP.S. Please use this retyped draft for typesetting.
