WASHIN GTON, D.C. 20555 April 23, 1980 1
l MEMORANDUM TO THE FILES l
SUBJECT:
HOUSTON LIGHTING AND POWER COMPANY, ET AL.
SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-498 AND 50-499 j
On April 22, 1980, at about 11:00 a.m.,
I received a telephone call from Mr. Daniel Swayze.
Mr. Swayze has been identified by CCANP as a potential witness in this proceeding and the Applicants are seeking to take his deposition.
l At the outset, I advised Mr. Swayze that I could not speak to him about any substantive matters at issue in the proceeding.
Mr. Swayze stated that he understood but that he was inquiring l
about certain of the procedural aspects of depositions and the l
issuance of subpoenas to compel attendance at a deposition.
l In response to his questions, I advised him that the Licensing Board has authority to issue subpoenas, that the Board can impose conditions on the issuance of a subpoena compelling an t
individual to appear for a deposition, and that the location of the deposition (the matter concerning which Mr. Swayze appeared to have the most concern) is a matter as to which the Board can act.
I advised Mr. Swayze_that we can take into l
account the convenience of the various parties in determining whether the proposed location of a deposition is acceptable or should be changed.
I also advised Mr. Swayze that, if faced j
with a subpoena or request for his deposition,he or CCANP could file a motion to modify the terms thereof (including j
the location of the deposition).
The views of all affected parties would, of course, have to be taken into account in j
any ruling on such a motion.
