$@plemental Information Request Caldwell an Kelly Adverse Action l
Dear Mr. Martin l
The Union has become aware of certain information with direct bearing on the proposed adverse actions against Messrs. Caldwell and Kelly. Because we learned of the information subsequent to our information request dated April 14, 1989, the Union subnits the following supplemental request for necessary I
and relevant information. The request is made pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
67114(b)(4) and Article 45 section 45.6 of the Interim Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Please produce all requested materials to the following:

Any materials concerning alle9ations of, or proven (administrative or otherwise) improper or unsatisfactory conduct on the part of Mr.
Richard L. Bangart, Director Division of Radiation Safety and Safeguards regarding his involvement with the South Texas (Nuclear)
Project or with his stpervisory role over NRC inspectors at the ST(N)P.
)
The Union needs this information in order to determine whether or not Mtc management has failed to discipline individual enployees on an equitable basis and in order to determine whether or not Messrs.
Caldwell's or Kelly's alleged actions at STP were known to management in advance of the OIA investigation. Further, Mr.
Bangart's credibility will be a key issue in any potential l
grievance / arbitration.
3.
Copies of all Office of Investigations report of investigations into mismanagement by Houston Lighting and Power / South Texas Project and l:
Brown and Root / South Texas Project.
4 The Union needs this information in order to demonstrate that Messrs. Caldwell and Kelly were responsible for discovery of several discrepancies and/or deficiencies in the STP security program. The j
Ur. ion will raise as a defense that because Messrs. Caldwell and Kelly performed their jobs as inspectors in a fully successful j
manner, thereby uncovering severe deficiencies in the utilities security program and rightfully causing delays in licensing, the i
Agency retaliated against them in proposing discipline. The 0/I report of investigation will corroborate the reported mismanagement.
Please notify me within 5 calendar days if you require additional time to process this request or if you disagree with the Union's statement of I
relevancy. Should you not conpletely satisfy this request under the authority cited above, please provide me with the name, and title of the person denying the request and a written statement of the authority and reason (s) relied upon i
for not releasing each specific items denied.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at (512) 346-6520.
