RE: Metropolitan Edison et alW Restart Remand on Management (Docket No., 50-289) p Dear Lynne This letter confirms our agreement concerning TMIA's prom-ise to timely supplement its response to " Licensee's First Set of Interrogatories and First Request for Production of Docu-ments to'TMIA" dated August 16, 1984 entitled "TMIA Response to

. Licensee's First~ Set of Interrogatories" dated September 4,

1984. ~We greatly appreciate the spirit of cooperation which you brought to both our meeting here in our offices yesterday, ,

as Nell as during our telephone conversation today. Your rec-ognition'of our shared desire to promote full and open discov-

- ery without unnecessarily involving the Licensing Board in the settlement of: our disputes has ensured that both TMIA and Li-consee will be able to expeditiously devote their effor_ts to the preparation of their respective cases rather than becoming entangled in a' needless legal dispute over TMIA's response to Licensee!s'first set of discovery requests.
