After some discussion, Intervenor agreed to file answers to such second sets of interrogatories and request for admissions on November 13, 1981.

The Chairman further advised that since neither Mailgram had been received by its ad,dressee, he had requested the Intervenor to confirm in writing the fact that she has sent the Mailgrams, which she did on October 19, 1981 by mailing copies of such Mailgrams to the Chairman who received them on October 23, 1981.
