The meetings referenced above included discussions relating to an
"
apparent weakness in your construccion organization in not fully
recognizing and promptly correcting deficiencies and problems de-
tected by the operation of your quality control program. We wish
,
to note that our inspection findings to date do not reflect a lack
'
of quality in the construction of your plant; however, the failure
to fully identify deficiencies and problems and to promptly correct
them is of growing concern to this office.
In your reply to this
letter it is requested that you provide us with your concents or
your planned corrective ceasures on this matter.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection or the
above referenced meetings, we will be pleased to discuss them with
'
you.
!
Sincerely yours,
