,$$o7)f On Tuesday, January 19, 1965, at about 5:30 p.m., Mr. Willina Norris of_ he law firm of Tuttle and Taylor, Los Angeles, California, came w my office to discuss the Malibu proceeding.
psal Siegel also participated in the discussics b
Mr. Norris represents the Marblehead-Iand Campaar which has filed a petition to-intervene in the hearing. He indiented he also had helped prepare the petition filed by h Malibu Citizens for conservatica, Inc. and was working closely with the attorney who represents the group. He indicated that the Citizens' mativities thus far have been limited by a lack of funds but h t-the group is about-to undertake a money raising drive mad h t Bob Hope will also help finance the Citizens' participation in the hearing, imeluding the cost of rettiains eamsultants. He did not believe that Hope would intervene in the proceeding although it_was still a possibility.
Norris indicated that the Cititems group had seat a report on meteorology to b ABC within the last few days. We told him that so far as we knew it had not yet been reseived.
(Thiswasresolvedthismorning).
Norris also stated h t a fur b r geological sport was being prepared by a Dr. Kamb from Cal. Tosh., h t it would be a more soaprehensive report than the Bailey, Norgan and Clements reports and that he would like h staff to consider the meteorology report and the Kaab report prior to reaching a decision on the applicatica.
I told him that I could not assure him that this could be done, that, as he knew from previous conversaticas with Dr. Doan, the staff's evaluation was nearing completion and that it might not be possible fh at this time, to review furhr reports before h issuance of the hazartis 1)
/
analysis.
He indiented he might like to request ht the staff delay issuance
/
of its hasards analysis until it had time to ocasider hoe reports and in.
g(l quired to whom he should submit such a request.
I indicated that such a request should be seat to Dr. Dona or the Director of Regulatice.
that if he decided to make such a request he would write to Harold pries.
He stated (I discovered in a discussion with Dr. Dean this morning that a Mr. Johnson, another. attorney in b Tuttle and Taylor fim, had,- in fact, ande such a request in a letter to Dr. Doan, dated January 14.)_-I pointed out to him that the staff's hazanis analysis is normally based' on the application and reports of staff consultants, if any, but always expressly provides that the -
which may be presented at the hearing.-position-taken therein is subje I also pointed out that the Procedures

t their position, such as these reports, at the publie hearing. He indicated j
he was aware of this procedure but that he was hopeful he could get the staff l
on his side before the public hearing.
J l
He also suggested that he wculd like to bring his technical people in to discuss the matter with the staff. He was infomed he should also take this up with Dr. Doan or Mr. Price. He said he would write to Harold Price if his client wanted to nake such a request.
5 He also inquired whether the sts ft had retained consultants cm seismie a
design as they had done in the Bodega proceeding. He indleated that he l
vas aware that Robert Williamson of Holmes and Narver was a consultant to the staff in this matter since Williamson had been previously contacted with _a view to retaining him as. a consultant for the intervenors in this i
case. I indicated that Dr. Nathan Newmark's firm was also one of our con.
i sultants. He stated that in view of the fact that we had retained such eminent seismic design consultants it might not be necessary for the interrenors to do so. However, he later indicated that he proposed to present witnesses on seismic design at the hearing.
