Mr. Cherry's untimely remarks appear ' to' derive from some ' parsonal mistrust of Consumers Power Company which he is nurturing. Regrettably, he seems to have permitted his own animosities for the Company'to color significantly his review of the record compiled in this proceeding.

The decisions ( 'mado regarding what information should be included in Joseph Temple's [ dircct, testimony were fully explored..'Similarly, the absence of i 1 ~ l any. communication by Dow to Consumers concerning the extent to which the prospect of subsequent litigation influenced.the ultimate decision l of the=Dow'U.S.A.' Board to honor existing contract obligations was E i' ' carefully: probed and' conclusively established.- Mr. Cherry's obser.- i .vations on these matters reflect a surprising ~ lack of familiarity -i i with the record he claims to have read -- even for-one who shunned -{ -thochearing and. declined to participate in briefing.the issues before 1 1 tha Board. E = ' We would' add only that Mr. Cherry's staunch defense of' k Milton Wessel's admitted "_ sporting" tactics comes as no real-surprise. E l Mr.'Wessel' openly acknowledged at his deposition in this proceeding h j that "Mr.1 Cherry is probably one of the ultimate sportsmen" (Wessel .h 288).. _E Dap. L This' matter was submitted to the Board several months ago. I j .It has. received the conscientious.and careful attention of the.NRC p i Staff and counsel for both Consumers'and.Dow. Ample opportunity was E afforded to Mr.-Cherry to participate-in the hearing and forthrightly i to' argue,his: position in a timely manner so'as to afford the'other ~ P parties a chance for' reply. For. reasons best known to himself, l-Mr. Cherry chose not:to appear. -His'ad hominem letter attack on JConsumers at this late date has no discernible relationship'to the y E matters of. record in this proceeding and provides nothing worthy of f..thisBoard'sattentionorconsideration.
