In the matter of: Hous ton Lighting & Power Co. , (Allens Creek Nuclear Generting Station, Unit 1) Docke t i t 30-Ldo

Dear Memoers of the Board:

In response to the order signed by Chairperson Wolfe, and dated May 1, 1979, I submit the following answer.

As of May 1st, I was a 20 hcur per week e.mployee of Texas Public Interest Research Group. My work consisted of 50.? of hours on the Allens Creek effort in TexPIRGs behalf, and 50%

of hours devoted to the consumer issues that TexPIRG attempts.

Assuming that by " official" the Board meant an officer, I am not an officer of TexPIRG. TexPIRG consists of a corporation structure of of ficers and a board of directors. I do not hold either a post or directorship.

I will be terminating at TexPIRG on May 31, 1979, because Mr Clarence Johnson will be returning to take the duties full time which I partially filled en a part-time basis.

The Board did not state why it wished this information. How-ever, I wish to add in anticipation of j oining of parties that TexPIRG and I disagree on this intervention. They believe (as is shcwr in their first cententica) that the Allens Creek could ce

organization, and therefore does not represent me in goals, and, I oelieve, ability.

Some of the above is contained, I believe in the trans-cript of the Deposition of March 26, 1979, which I presume is available to the Board.

Respectfully Submitted, e,,.
