ROCKLAND COUNTY'S ANSWER TO LICENSEES' MOTION FOR, RECONSIDERATION OF RULING ON ADMISSABILITY OF DEPOSITION Rockland County submits the within opposition to the motion of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (CON ED) and the Power Authority of the State of New York (Power Authority) for reconsideration of the denial by the Board of the licensees' motion to receive the examination before trial of Donald P.
McGuire into evidence, together with Donald P. McGuire's prefiled testimony, and upon such reconsideration to grant the requests and receive the documents into evidence.
The records should be clear that Rockland County has no objection to, and at the time of the hearings before the Board, had no objection to producing Donald P. McGuire as a witness before the Board.
Should the Board deem Mr. McGuire's testimony to be so essential to this proceeding that the mandate given to it'by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission cannot be answered without receipt of his testimony, the County of Rockland is and remains perfectly willing to present Mr. McGubre for cross-examination by all parties, interested States, and intervenors who were participants in the Atomic Safety Licensing Board hearings.
It is unfortunate that circumstances prevented Mr.McGuire f rom appearing for a third time before the ASLB (Mr.McGubr e 'had previously testified in July of 1982, and March of 1983).
Counsel for the County of Rockland did, in fact, assure all participants in the ASLB hearing that Mr. McGuire was willing to

,n_--
6 testify, after he was unable to appear as scheduled.
- However, Rockland County must now object to the attempts by the licensees to introduce into the record the transcript of Mr. McGuire's examination before trial.
The efforts by the licensees to introduce the examination before trial are clearly in violation of the rights of Rockland County as an interested state, and clearly in violati on of the rights of the other participants to the ASLB proceeding.
A review of the transcript makes it clear that much of the testimony sought of the wicness went well beyond the scope of his direct testimony, and was not intended for use in connection with these hearings.
In spite of repeated objections by counsel for Rockland County that counsel for the licensee should restrict themselves to the March 9th drill and the witnesses' observations of it, counsel for the licensees insisted that their right to discovery "is 'n ot limited to admissible matters but may include anything that may lead to the discovery of admissible evidence" (see transcript page 17).
The transcript is replete with materials which are not admissible under Rule 32 of tne Federal Rules of Procedure and to which Rockland County would have objected, had the licensees attempted to introduce same at the hearings.
It is clear that under Rule 32(a) that the normal roles of evidence are to be applied to depositions offered at trial.
Rockland County does not believe that it is our obligation to attempt to go through the depositions line by line in order to present the court that testimony which is admissible as distin-guish'ed from that which is objectionable.
Rockland County

believes that it was the licensees' obligation to distinguish what they wanted introduced from the matter which was clearly objectionable.
The fact that the licensees have chosen not to do so, and not to invest the time in this motion which would be necessary to the Board's realistic consideration, is evidence of the lack of relevancy and materiality of the majority of the material within the deposition.
For the foregoing reasons, Rockland County opposes the application of the licensees, and urges the Board to deny re-consideration of its prior ruling.
Respectfully substrte'd.,
