Robert F. Warnick, Director. Enforcement and Investigation Staff FROM:
J. B. McCarten, Investigator
SUBJECT:
ZIMMER DOCUMENT AND INVESTIGATION LEADS Reference your February 2 letter regarding this subject. The following records which were not already in the Region III EIS files were turned over to the EIS Section.
1.
My notes from eighty-four field interviews conducted between January 14, 1981 and August 13, 1981.
2.
th interview notes and copies of all statements related to the investigation of the Applegate and QC Inspector allegations.
This includes transcripts of all taped interviews.
3.
Copies of all documentation relating to the investigation of the Kaiser Nonconformance Reporting System.
NOTE:
The original pages of the NR Log Book, and Nonconformance Reports found in the Inspection Report have been turned over to OIA for custody.
4.
Due to my assignment to the Zion investigation team I was unable to review or augment the computerized li'st of allegations so that all leads are tracked.
I have, however, provided Investigator Foster with all the statements taken by me and copies of all my interview notes so that he can perform this much needed task.
5.
On three occasions during the Zimmer investigation the Region III Enforcement and Investigation Staff has informed OIA and DOJ that Region III would pursue all issues which may constitute violations of criminal law.
The investigators currently assigned to this case have no training of any kind from a federally recognized Criminal Law Enforcement Training Center, or any experience in the investiga-tion or enforcement of criminal law.
The Region is not fu11 filling its commitment to OIA and DOJ without assuring personnel with the requisite training and experience are assigned to this case.
I recommend an individual from the IE:HQ staff with the proper experience be assigned and be given the proper authority independent of the Region III staff to conduct this investigation.
