ATTORNEYS AT LAW 2 HOUSTON CENTER 909 FANNIN. SUITE 800 HOUSTON. TEXAS 77010-9998 (713) 751 00:5 S. TANNER GARTH FAX (7t h 7510030 November 28,1995 Mr. James Lieberman Director of the Office of Enforcement U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission White Flint, Maryland 20555 RE:
David R. Lamb and James J. Dean / Houston Lighting & Power Company
Dear Mr. Lieberman:
b Following the enforcement conference involving my clients, Dave Lamb and Jim Dean, and my receipt of the violations issued by your office, I have the following questions:
1)
As I am sure you realize, the Office of Inspector General's investigation determined that Bill Worth was terminated in violation of 50.7 a:: were Messrs.
Lamb and Dean. Please explain why HL&P was not issued a violation for that wrongful termination.
2)
I would also like your explanation as to why Warren Kinsey was not included in the enforcement proceedings. As you I am sure are aware, the OIG report documented his involvement as did the ALJ's recommended Decision and Order.
3)
Bill Jordan and Wat Hinson were likewise implicated and should be held accountable for their roles in the wrongful terminations of Dave Lamb, Jim Dean and Bill Worth.
4)
Please explain the Office of Enforcement's reasoning behind not requiring that Richard Balcom be removed from NRC regulated activities.
5)
Please also advise what actual measures will be taken by the Office of Enforcement to determine if any of the corrective steps allegedly taken and to be detailed in HL&P's Reply No. 4 are actually taken, e \\w r5i\\ chem >\\sig\\ lam \\9541128 pa l

,,, N Mr. James Lieberman Page 2 November 28,1995 i
I would request that you provide me with HL&P and Dick Balcom's reply to the notice violations.
i I would also like to inform your office that despite any information you may have received to the contrary, HL&P has taken absolutely no corrective steps pertaining to Dave Lamb or Jim Dean. The only corrective steps pertinent to HL&P's wrongful conduct would be to compensate Messrs. Lamb and Dean for their damages and reinstate them to their prior positions. This has not been done or even attempted.
I would finally request a copy of any information or documentation submitted by HL&P to be considered by your office for mitigation of proposed penalties. In that context, I would also like to be advised as to what steps will be taken by the Office of Enforcement to validate i
any alleged occurrences or steps taken which should be considered in mitigation of these penalties.
Very truly yours, FIBICH & GARTH, P.C.
