Commonwealth Edison Company (Byron Station Units 1 and 2)
Docket Nos. 50-454 and 50-455
Dear Mike:
This letter is in partial response to yours of June 19.
I wish to make it perfectly clear to you that I am not en-gaged in "a transparent, effort to stall this oroceeding."
Rather, I have pointed out to you that your method of responding to my discovery requests is making it virtually impossible for me to conduct orderly, reasoned and responsible discovery of your case and concomitant preparation of our own.
A good example is in the letter I received -- hours be-fore the receipt of your letter -- from your legal assistant, which is attached.
As that letter makes clear, new documents seem to appear daily at your office in spite of your prior statements that all documents have been produced.
Another example is the interrogatory responses provided to me at 5:30 p.m. on June 19.
Mr. Becker indicated he might have some difficulty getting them signed today; I offered to accept his signature as binding the company.
It is my under-standing that the company does not consider itself bound by the answers served on me today but instead will submit formal answers at some future date.

9 Michael I. Miller June 20, 1984 Further, because you will not provide a formal state-ment of whether all. documents within a category' tion 4 you have been produced, and a formal statement of your objec leave little choice but to go before the Board.
At our discovery meeting in May you indicated you would assert privilege objections to certain requests; I consider those objections waived since.no formal notification of them has been'made.
Finally, we have not (and cannot until a review of your discovery responses) decided on whether we will call witnesses.
The name of the technical consultant who will review technical documents was provided today to Mr. Becker.
This is, of course, the first time any such request has been made of me.
Accordingly, I explicitly deny any implications that I'am hiding,our case from you -- a more appropriate description is that we are awaiting discovery of your case to see what we believe to be the most reasoned approach to our own case.
Thank you for providing oral answers-through Mr. Becker on the second set of discovery.
I expect you will be serving formal responses shortly, since some of the informal ones were not complete.
Very truly yours, 1
