On April 20, 1979, CP&L filed its Motion to Compel Houston Lighting & Power Co. to Answer Interrogatories (" Motion") with respect to certain ques-tions in the Second Interrogatories, to which Houston responds as follows:

1. Mr. Jordan's testimony on pages 2804-05 of 2318 a38 pouvoA

the District Court transcript refers to Mr. Simmons' con-ceptual study and the Stagg study, both of which have been furnished to CP&L. Otherwise, no studies of the kind inquired into in Interrogatory No. 16(b) of the Second Interrogatories exists.

2. Attorneys for Houston and CP&L have conferred with respect to the answers to Second Interrogatory Nos.

18 and 19. Houston has furnished CP&L with the specific identities of the entities described in CP&L's Second Interrogatory Nos. 18 and 19 that Houston could identify after a good faith and reasonable inquiry of its employees.

An attorney for CP&L has reviewed Houston's contract files of those entities and designated documents therein for copying.

3. Houston is not aware of any studies, analyses or records of documents of the kind described in Second Interrogatory No. 20. It is possible that documents responsive to Second Interrogatory No. 20 exist within Houston's contract files. Houston has made a good faith and reasonable effort to ascertain the identity of any contract file that might contain such documents. How-ever, Houston has been unable to find any employee with a recollection that any contract file contains documents responsive to Interrogatory No. 20. Nevertheless, the contract files, which were reviewed by CP&L prior to the

2318 339

District Court case, are available for CP&L's further inspection.

4. With respect to Plaintiffs' Exhibit 814, the persons who participated in the preparation of said Exhibit and the documents related thereto are also the persons who had knowledge of such documents at or about the time of their preparation. Those persons are: John Meyer, K. L. Williams, R. M. McCuistion and Mike Connolly.

Exhibit 814 was generated early-on in Houston's attempt to evaluate the PTI Report. The persons listed above were attempting to evaluate the PTI Report and had knowl-edge of the creation of Exhibit 814 by virtue of that evaluation.

5. Mr. D. E. Simmons answered CP&L's Second Interrogatories. In the process, Mr. Simmons sought and received information from the following persons: R. M.

McCuistion, D. D. Sykora, R. L. Evans, R. E. Doan, K.

Hinckley, Laura Warnasch, E. A. Turner and J. D. Greenwade.
