" App:ndir. C" L'ocuc nts Daar Mr. Copciand:
llavinn just rcturnec from vacaticn, I am respcoding to your letter of June 19, 1979.
I i.m c v !csi g c.irsucnt to parcercph "3" of tne Licensing Board OrJcr of June 25,1979 (which uu served cn Jrne 27th), ti.ose docu-ments over which the Staff had asserted work product cnd/or citorney client p ri v i l':ge.
As you kno i, the Licen',ing Board Ns ruled that with the excep-tion of 4t.cstions L': sed by co'.nsel (ub':rc draf t ens;l:rs or oli ;r factur l e
data are not attached th2reto) and one other docu nnt (c'acu:..;nt tuo of Appendi>. C) all othar uritt:n ca.mioniccLions bcti.~.'n counsel ar.d a desi y ted expert ui ta ss, ir.cl udii.'; ccm'unicaticx s cnt f roc the ex;'ert to ccentel at counsel's reque",t oust be,7adeced.
Thc Coard has included within this rc-quircr.snt of prod :ctian inteWiew notes tin by cn ettorney which ua'; ir.-
clude legal analysis i f those notes were sh n to the ex;.crt.
Tuo comments are nccessary with respect to these docc:::nts.
First, in instances where th.? docuc:ent itself is not alto a tecnst !ttal letter, the
" memo ra n du:a" fo n c rd i r.r; the.:. ate ri al u.: cn inferi.1 " buck slip" containmg one or t'. o sen tences o f t ran:..si t tal,
lhese in for;ial " buck slips" were not retained.
Second, you m y note that the intervic notes talcn by Mr. Elt. m contain a fe..c dalutions.
These deletions were mac; on the origir.als by hr.
Blum; prior to his providing a copy of the notes to the consultant.
Finally, it was the clear import of the Board's rulings that. all partics were to be treatad c';ually with re Dect to uritten cas.daications to and frcn experts.
Accerdingly, the Staff will be filing today under separcte co/cr a supplemental interrogatory to HLSP (cs ucll as TU) reqipting siuilar cc:.. uni-cations to and frca cesignated experts.
