Deborah,

Yep. That's it. That's supposedly the whole enchilada as to the reason for this litigation "altered"

You suggested
"adapted, adjusted, amended, converted, cooked, corrected, diversified, doctored, fitted, fixed, modified,
qualified, redone, refitted, reformed, remade, remodeled, renovated, reshaped, retailored, revised,
spiked, transformed, turned, updated".

I don't if he would have liked any of these any better as a description of his testimony, once forced to
discuss the relationship of the ACOEM mold statement and the US. Chamber paper in front of a jury, by the
Kilian transcript being allowed into the record. Nor am I of the opinion he really cares about this word
anyway.

I think it was more of a Chinatown situation: "She's my sister, she's my mother, she's my sister..."
She's a version, she's a lay translation, she's not lay translation, she's seperate work, she's a
translation". Altered sure seems accurate to me.

Testimony, Bruce J. Kelman June 2004
Kilian vs. Equitable Trust
Q. You mention that after the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicien published
the position paper, that you were approached by the Manhattan Institute to rework or reword your
research, correct?
A. I would characterize it – I mean, they literally asked for a lay translation of that article.
Q. But—Which you eventually did, correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Most of it is almost word for word the same, correct?
A. I – the translation is the same as the original article?
Q. Well, translation is an interest word. Thery’re both in English, correct?
A. Yes.
Q: So shall we call it the Manhattan Institute version versus the ACOEM version rather than the
translation? The words are substantially similar, correct?

Testimony Bruce J. Kelman February 2005
Haynes vs. Adair Homes
Q: Thank you. So, you participated in writing the study, your company was paid very handsomely for
it, and they you go out and you testify around the country legitimizing the study that you wrote.
Isn’t that a conflict of interest?
A: Sir,that is a complete lie.
A: ….In April of 2003 I was contacted by the Manhattan Institute and asked to write a lay verson of
what we had said in the ACOEM paper – I’m sorry, the American Collego of Occupational and
Environmental Medicine position statement. When I was initially contacted I said,”No”. For the
amount of effort it takes to write a paper I can do another scientific publication. They then came
back a few weeks later and said, “If we compensate you for your time, will you write the paper?”
And, at that point, I said, “Yes, as a group.” The published version, not the web version, but the
published version of the ACOEM paper came out in the Journal of Environmental and Occupational
Meidicne in May. And, then sometime after that, I think it was July, this lay translation came
out. They’re two different papers, two different activities. The – we would have never been
contacted to do a translation of a document that had already been prepared, if it hadn’t already
been prepared. (one can read this entire testimony at moldwarriors.com)

Testimony Bruce J. Kelman December 2007
Kelman vs. Kramer
The Witness: They are two different processes. The Manhattan Institute report is – expresses the
same science, but uses lay language a non-physician would understand, a layperson.
Q: But lay translation is not the way that you would describe it?
A: That the way the Manhattan Institute describe it. I have never viewed it as a translation.
They are both in English.

Really?
Kilian, never described as "translation"? cuz both are in "English"?
Haynes: Never described as a "lay translation"?

Meaning of purported unbiased and scientific ACOEM mold statement, as translated by the authors themselves
of the purported unbiased and scientific ACOEM Mold Statement for the US Chamber of Commerce and
political think-tank Manhattan Institute: “Thus the notion that ‘toxic mold’ is an insidious
secret ‘killer’ as so many media reports and trial lawyers would claim is ‘Junk Science’
unsupported by actual scientific study.”

"In 2003, with the involvement of the US Chamber of Commerce and ex-developer, US Congressman Gary
Miller (R-CA), the GlobalTox paper was disseminated to the real estate, mortgage and building
industries'associations. A version of the Manhattan Institute commissioned piece may also be found
as a position statement on the website of a United States medical policy-writing body, the American
College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.”
