Mr. M. L. Russell Quality Assurance Manager 934 South Main Street Willits, California 95490 Cent 1cmen:

This refers to the QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. V. H.

Berry and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

This inspection was made to confirm that, in the areas inspected, your QA Program is being effectively implemented.

The inspection effort is not designed to assure that udique quality requirements imposed by a customer are being implemented; nor to assure that a specific product, component or service provided by you to your customers, is of acceptable quality. As you know, the h1C requires cach of its licensecs to assume full responsibility for the quality of specific products, components or services procured from others.

You should therefore not conclude that the h2C's inspection exempts you from inspections by an h1C licensee or his agents nor from taking effective cor-rective action in response to their findings.

Areas examined and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. Uithin these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

During the inspection it was found that the implementation of your QA Program failed to meet certain h1C requirements.

The specific findings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures to this letter.

Please provide us w' thin thirty (30) days of your receipt of this report a written statement cantaining, (1) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to correct these items, (2) a descriptt in of steps that have been or will be taken to p7: event recurrence, and (3) the date your corrective actions and preventive measures were or will be completed.
