X Affidavi't of Jeffrey M. Blum Jeffrey M. Blum, attorney for the Union of Concerned Scientists hereby attests and affirms the truth of the following:

i 1

1. On Thursday, May 20, 1982, I-first received a copy of the Licensees' responses to UCS/NYPIRG first set of interrogatories and addendum thereto. Upon reading pages 7 through 10 of the responses I became aware for the first time that the licensees planned t,o present five witnesses in the portion of the hearings relating to Commission Questions 3 and 4. The five witnesses listed in licensees' responses to interrogatories dre Russell B.

Dynes, Sidney Lecker, M.D., Peggy L. Rosenblatt, Michael Della Rocca, and Bruce Podwal.

2. On Saturday, May 22, I was able to contact NYPIRG Attorney

, Amanda Potterfield for the first time since receiving licensees ' response

to interrogatories. Ms. Potterfield, who had just returned from out of town, and I promptly decided to depose the five prospective 8206040071 820527 PDR ADOCK 05000247 0 PDR

• . l witnesses.

3. On Monday, May 24 Ms. Potterfield and I attempted to con-tact various.of the licensees' ' attorneys and' succeeded in con-

~

tacting Joseph J. Levin, Jr., PASNY attorney employed in the firm of Morgan Associates, Chartered.

4. By telephone I informed Mr. Levin of our desire to depose-licensees' five witnesses and requested permission to undertake such depositions at the earliest convenience time. Mr. Levin explained that he would have to contact other licensee attorneys in order to give us a response, but that his initial expectation was that licensees would not allow their witnesses to be deposed.

Mr. Levin agreed to call me back the following day after consulting with other licensee attorneys.

5. On Tuesday, May 25 Mr. Levin and I succeeded in establishing telephone contact and Mr. Levin informed me that licensees were indeed refusing to have any of their witnesses be deposed. He made clear that their decision was final, and that attorneys from Con Edison as well as PASNY had joined in the decision. Mr. Levin explained that the licensees did not feel that depositions were

" appropriate" in this proceeding. However, Mr. Levin cited no basis in law or in the Commission's Orders for their refusal.
