Barrett, Streeter, Warnick, Davis POSITION ON " UNAPPROVED VENDORS" Attached are relevant sections of investigation reports dealing with concerns

.1 expressed by Mr. Victor Griffin in 1976. One of his concerns dealt with

' materials purchased from " unapproved vendors". Investigation indicated that some materials (not components) had been purchased to Class II requirements, although documentation sufficient to meet Class I requirements was also provided. In some instances, these Class II materials were upgraded to Class I and utilized in the plant. The findings of reports 76-02 and 77-03 indicate that we considered this an acceptable practice, and the media (and public) were advised of our position.

It appears that the item of noncompliance issued in Section 7.1 of report 80-13 may represent a different conclusion on a similar situation, unless a beam is considered as a "co=ponent" rather than a material.

I believe that Mr. Grif fin, and others, may question this apparent difference, and we should have an answer developed.
