DUKE POWER COMPANY (Oconee/McGuire Transshipment)

Docket No. 70-2623 Gentlemen:

We have briefly reviewed the proposed additional Staff testimony.

In our judgment it is redundant and/or untimely and essentially seeks to elaborate points already made during the hearing.

Furthermore, it is obviously testimony prepared with more emphasis on bolstering legal positions than on.further-ing the search for facts.

Like guided missiles, each witness is aimed at a legal result by the Staff lawyer and carefully guided to that result.

It is at least po ssible that the wit-nesses had little to do with the actual answers.

We do not believe chac the Board intended to permit this kind of addi-ticnal testimony at the reopened hearing -- testimony based on July quarterbacking of a June proceeding.

We urge the Board to reject the proffered testimony.

Sincerely, f,

' Anthony Z.
