s Ivan W. Smith, Esq. Page 2 Dr. Richard F. Cole May 11, 1983 Dr. A. Dixon Ca11ihan Westinghouse now has narrowed substantially the breadth of the information for which it seeks continued protection; hence, continued protection is n'ecessary for limited information appearing on just three pages (4691-92 and 4699), rather than the 11 pages originally ordered to be sealed.

Westinghouse has no objection to release of the other eight pages (viz.

4693-98, 4700-01) and the information other than that marked as proprietary on the other three pages.

I have omitted from the enclosure the proprietary version of pages 4691, 4692, and 4699, while enclosing the non-proprietary versions. This expediency lessens the possibility that the information would be dis-tributed to the pubife in error. The information which has been masked on these three pages may be garnered from the original transcript in your possession.

I have contacted the regulatory staff to work out a method to circulate the non-proprietary portions of the April 15 transcript to the public document rooms. Either I or the staff will inform you of the outcome of these discussions.

I am mailing the proprietary versions of the three pages on which pro-prietary information appears to the intervenor representatives who have signed the Westinghouse non-disclosure agreement pursuant to the terms of that agreement. I am also mailing a copy to Mr. Thomas, who did not sign the agreement but agreed to abide by its terms and who is subject to the terms of the oral protective order of this Board which was entered during the course of the April 27, 1983 evidentiary session.

Westinghouse is reviewing the transcript of the in camera proceedings on April 27, 1983, and will submit a similar application for withholding when that review is complete.

Very truly yours, l
