-Dr. David B Hall February 15, 1972 Dr. ClarkiGoodman Many of the contentions ' included within Saginaw

- intervenors? " Statement ofJEnvironmental Contentions" dated February 6'are' objectionable on one or more of

- several grounds,' including (but without limitation)

L

.'excessiveHgenerality, lack'of relevance, matters:

barred as too late by prior order of the Board, and so L

forth.

Applicant does not plan, however, at this time to -file a motion--to strike: such contentions in view of j.

the fact that Saginaw intervenors will have a-further
