Dear Mr. Denton:
In response to the Reference 1) letter, KG&E has committed to have shift consultants augment the operating shifts for approxi-mately the first year of operation. The experience base of the shif t consultants sent to you in the Reference 2) letter is still correct.
Attached is further information about the shift consultant program that was specified in enclosure 2 of the Reference 1) letter, with the exception of items 4 and 5.
The written and oral examinations are scheduled to be given in July of this year; consequently, this information will be provided to you following completion of the examinations.
Yours very truly,
