Dear Mr. Fleischaker:

This is in further response to your letter dated January 27, 1982 in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, four categories of documents regarding the investigation of false information s

conveyed by representatives of Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) j during a November 3,1981 meeting on the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Facility.

The following document is enclosed.

Note from Commissioner Gilinsky for the Commissioners attaching a newspaper article written by Frederick W. Mielke The documents listed on the appendix are being withheld in their entirety.

These memoranda among Commissioners and their staff constitute advice, opinions and recommendations and contain no reasonably segregable factual material.

Release of this information would tend to inhibit future communication between and among Commissioners and their staffs, communication which is essential to the deliberative process. This information is therefore being withheld from public disclosure pursuant to Exemption (5) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5)) and 10 CFR 9.5(a)(5) of the Commission's regulations.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 9.15 of the Conunission's regulations, it has been determined that the information withheld is exempt from production or disclosure and that its production or disclosure is contrary to the public interest.

The person responsible for the denial of documents 1 through 10 is Mr. Samuel J. Chilk, Secretary of the Commission.

The person responsible for the denial of document 11 ia Mr. Leonard Bickwit, General Counsel of the Commission.

This denial may be appealed to the Commission within 30 days from the receipt of this letter.

Any such appeal must be in writing, addressed to the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and should clearly state on the envelope and in the letter that it is an " Appeal from an Initial F0IA Decision."
