Dear Bob:
This responds to several letters from your office which greeted my return from the Grand Rapids depositions last week.
In response to Jim Pollock's letter on August 10, 1973, please be advised that available information indicates that my letter of August 9 was a complete account of the Com-pany's receipt of allegedly protected information.
- However, I am reverifying the facts with Company officials and will advise you promptly whether any amendments to my letter are in order.
Your letter of August 13 proposes that I be deposed about the file search.
We deem the Board's order of August 8 to have mooted your inquiry in this regard.
In any event, we question the propriety of deposing opposing counsel -- parti-cularly where, as here, the proposed inquiry appears confined to privileged communications and counsel's mental impressions and work product.
Finally, your letter to Bill Ross of August 16 in-accurately characterizes certain aspects of our recent con-ference call with Judge Clark.
We explained at the time that ongoing depositions would preclude our pursuing concerns about the privileged documents inspection procedures during the week 8ooe1po&3 A

Sincerel,
