On each 71 occasion where the inspector conveyed (through his supervision) 72 his concern of possible harassment to the craft organization, the 73 incidents involving the craft were thoroughly investigated.

Prior to the issuance of the Nontechnical Task Force Report, I 102 instructed the Construction organization to communicate and 103 cooperate with the QA Department.

and technical support 107.
employees to enhance cooperation and communication in the welding 108 area.
Construction employees were directed to be professional in 109 all of their activities--with both QA and other departments--and to 110 promote a good relationship with QA.
Since publication of the 111 Report and its recommendations, I have attempted to insure that 112 these instructions and activities are continued.
