Dear Mr. Pegnato:
As I mentioned to you in our telephone conversation this morning, this l agency is trying to ascertain what role, if any, that comments made by U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to General Accounting Office (GAO) staff may have had in the determination of a contractce under a recent competition in which Cotton & Company was a competitor. Receipt of the following documents or information will be helpful: 1. Copies of completed forms recording comments about Cotton & l Company by personnel of Federal agencies other than GA0. l 2. A statement of, or document expressing, the reason (s) why GA0 l did not select Cotton & Company -r Please specify any portions of the materials provided which have not been released to the public. We will safeguard any materials at your request. Thank you for your cooperation. If you wish to discuss this request, i Please fax materials to (301) 492-8110. The verification number is (301) 492-7371. Sincerely, 69

I.* l.' l i 4 Ms. Judith Bartnoff Pattern, Boggs & Blow i 2550 M Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20037
Dear Ms. Bartnoff:
I am responding to your letter of September 24, 1992, on behalf of your i l client, Cotton & Company. In your letter you allege that your client "... recently learned that it was not selected for a significant audit contract with the General Accounting Office ("GA0") primarily because of a negative report from Mr. Walker to the GA0 evaluation panel regarding Cotton & Company's performance on its NRC engagement." We have reviewed your allegation that Mr. Walker misused his position and took unjustified actions. Federal personnel conducting a procurement commonly contact other Federal agency personnel to inouire about past performance of companies bidding for their contracts, We believe that { add j OC's statement after review - either that Mr. Walker' actions were l justified, or that we find that they were not justified and apologize. If the actions were not justified state corrective actions taken.} This agency has not participated in the GA0 procurement process. Therefore, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further on your allegation. We are sending a copy of your letter to GA0 for their consideration (see attached).
Please be assured that there is no debarment of Cotton & Company under consideration at NRC. { Statement of regret that this procurement has not been successful?l Sincerely, t James M. Taylor Executive Director i for Operations
