Subject:

Contract J;RC 02-71-003 As you are aware, the subject contract expired on August 15, 1973.

By that time we had received only several draft cepies, prep 0li:ati:n, of a final rep ~ ort.

By early !{cVe ber 1973, fellcxin;; cany c:nve sations bet,veen your technical staff and the staff of i:20, we were fe nished a c =cra ready copy of the prepublication draft.

?.: ring th:se :enytrsations, wa learned that you had independently tolicited cora. ants en t'.e publication fro.; the Departnent of Energy.

This act wts n:t required in -he contract, and clearly it was not then, nor new is it cond:ned.

Such cc-.ents fr:s the Departcent cf Entrey if incorporated in the final rep;rt culd be viewed as seriously degrading the indeperciant research of the '!ational j

Acadeny.

.l

-ile hzva since been assered cany tines th:t we :::uid receive a cartra 1t ready ccpy of the final report which would per-it the ::T:0 to ;Olish cnd i

distrubute this very valusble repcrc to the waiting public.

Additiontily, the contract in Article II describes an interin rep:rt regarding the draf t propc:ed performance criteria for high isval..aste solid n:teri:1 (!i'_'EEG 0279).

This report was due at the UC :n Jinuarv 15, 1977, h'e have.ct yet received this riport.

Any coments or questicas you nay have shculd te cddressed t: t'r. Craig D. Leto er ne at 427-4430.

Sincerely, e, u.....
