.j September 16, 1993 The Honorable Constance A. Morella Member, United States House of Representatives 51 Monroe Street, Suite 507 Rockville, Maryland 20850

Dear Congresswoman Morella:

I am responding to your letter of August 10, 1993, in which you inquire about the status of payment for two invoices submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under Contract Na. NRC 10-86-382 with Pailen-Johnson Asst,ciates, Inc.

Pailen-Johnson Associates, Inc., was awarded a contract by the NRC for installation, removal, and maintenance support for telecommunication equipment during the period September 30, 1986 through September 29, 1988.

On October 8, 1988, NRC suspended $1,922 in billed charges under invoice number 6102-25. At that time, Mr. Claude Johnson, President, Pailen-Johnson,.

Inc., agreed that these charges should be suspended since NRC concluded that this invoice coverad the cost of materials which had previously been billed and paid for.

Having received the recent correspondence from Pailen-Johnson Associates, we are now reevaluating the basis for this suspension. We have talked to Pailen-Johnson's accountant, Mr. Treherr.e, and he agreed to meet with us to discuss documentation needs.

On November 1, 1988, NRC discussed with Mr. Johnson the suspension of payment in the amount of $12,676 under invoice number 6102-26 for hours billed in excess of the number of hours documented on work orders approved by the NRC.

We believed that we had made payment for all NRC approved work' orders for which we had a record of the work being completed. On several occasions since receiving Pailen-Johnson, Inc.'s, lett vs, we have advised Mr. Johnson of the documentation necessary to support their claim (e.g., copie.; of additional NRC approved work orders for which the work had been completed). To date, no additional-documentation has been provided to the NRC which would support further payment under this invoice. We will, of course, consider any documentation that Mr. Treherne has to offer in our upcoming meeting.

.We expect to resolve this matter within the next 30 days and will advise you of its final disposition. We hope that this responds satisfactorily to your inquiry.

Sincerely,

/
