I am writing on behalf of 'J.

C. Pillcw, Jr.,.whose correspondence is attached. You will note that Mr. Pillow was a nuclear power plant employee, working for Westinghouse, until'he was-fired recently as a result of a positive test on an. employee drug screening.

Mr. Pillow denies having used illegal drugs. ' He believes the

c test results may have Men positive tecause of maications and i vitamins he was taking, and which he reported to.the technician taking the sample.

He reports that his contact with the lab whichi tested the sample revealed that they yere not given the information.

about the medications and vitamins he was taking, which could have-influenced the test results.= lie believes that he was fired:and o

subsequently banned.from the nuclear power industry without just cause.

Wtil you please check into this matter and respond to my
