Dear Administrative Judges:

Please enter my appearance, and that of Mr. Timothy Wright of our office, in lieu of Ms. Jane Whicher, on behalf of intervenors Bridget Rorem and Appleseed in the Braidwood operating license proceeding, effective today. I understand that Ms. Whicher has withdrawn as counsel by virtue of her recent change in employment.

I also wish to respond to Mr. Gallo's letter of Octo-ber 9 to the Board, which urged you to issue your prehearing conference order and to establish a hearing schedule, based on papers previously filed by the parties. For the reasons stated below, I urge you to schedule a telephone conference with all parties prior to issuing your order and establishing a schedule.

October 17, 1984

.Page Tuo As you may recall, Ms. Uhicher was not able to address Edison's proposed schedule, except to authorize her name to be : signed .to a brief letter to you dated August 6, 1984' No other attorneys in this-office represented inter-venors in this case:at that time, nor could we, because of our' intensive participation in the Byron hearings.

- Atu this time we would request a reasonable op-portunity to prepare contentions on both construction quality assurance and design quality assurance in this case, as well as to review any contentions previously filed.

~

We believe that allowing a reasonable time for this

. purpose 'uill not ' prejudice Edison. As Edison's-letter of October; 4 to. Mr. _. Denton indicates , the company expects that the in-service = date for Braidwood 1, currently scheduled for April 1986, will be deferred by up to one year, .upon conclu-sion-of the company's review later this year.

Moreover, the. company has known of this likely

-postponement _for some time. In a prospectus dated September 4, a- full month before its October 4 notice -to Mr. Denton, and

-over a month before'its October 9 notice to-you, it advised shareholders of the same information contained in the Octo-ber 4 letter to Mr. Denton.

In these circumstances, we do not believe the com-pany can fairly claim prejudice by allowing intervenors a reasonable opportunity to formulate QA contentions. According-ly, we propose that a telephone conference be arranged to address matters of scheduling in_this case.

Respectfully submitted, QR Douglass W. Cassel, Jr.
