consulted with Monsanto about the development of integrated,
centralized, information systems for health and safety testing.
The information system that Monsanto developed was consistent
with the information system that would be put into place at R.K.
Laney’s consulting work for Monsanto did not involve Monsanto’s
sponsorship of research at R.K.
During the time that Laney was working on the information
system prototype for R.K., he began his consulting work for
Merrill. Laney consulted with Merrill about designs for a
centralized and integrated information system. This was
consistent with the use of the information system prototype for
R.K. Although Merrill expressed an interest in sponsoring
research at R.K., this sponsorship never occurred.
Laney did consulting work for Sterling-Winthrop from 1980 to
at least 1982. Laney was initially invited to work for Sterling-
Winthrop because he had designed the information system prototype
for R.K. Laney consulted for Sterling-Winthrop to design a
centralized and integrated information system for health and
safety testing that could communicate with outside sources, such
as (1) Sterling-Winthrop divisions, (2) Sterling-Winthrop
contractors, and (3) the information system that would be put
into place at R.K. As a result of Laney’s work for Sterling-
Winthrop, Sterling-Winthrop spent substantial amounts for an
information system.
