Subject:
Telephone Call to Ivan Finfrock, Vice President on September 14, 1973.
I called Mr. Finfrock on the above date to follow up on telephone calls by Mr. O'Reilly to' Dr. Bartnoff, President of Jersey Central Power &
Light company and Mr. William G. Kuhns, President of CPU on that date.
Mr. Finfrock was out -- he returned the call on September 17th.

This issue was put in the context of the thrust of recent hearings at which the Quality Assurance Program for Operations has re-ceived much attention. Mr. Finfrock was advised that with regard to their forthcoming conversion from a provisional to a full-term license, Region I will be looking for an implemented program,' and that of neces-sity, a finding regarding same must be arrived at several months prior to conversion time.
Mr. Finfrock was told that from where we sat, our con-cerns translated into a need for a stepped change input of manpower now, l
concurrent with a stepped up recruitment program.
Mr. Finfrock stated that they had been putting forth major efforts in the area of recruitment but unsuccessfully, and that they have recently come to the realization and have taken action towards increasing their salary 1
