SUBJECT:
RESPONSE TO BROWN 8 RODT AUDIT f 35 i
On 7/2/80 a licensee representative notified me advising there had been disagreements over responses provided to Mr. Charles Williamson, a Brown
& Root QA Auditor.
Two or.three meetings were held between Mr. Williamson and BER construction personnel to discuss audit responses which were considered inadequate.
As a result of the discussions. Mr. Williamson perceived that he was being harassed.
Mr. Williamson met with Dr. Knox Broom, BAR Senior Vice President, to
's' express his concerns.
The responses are to be revised.. Mr. Williamson was told he was free to express his concerns to the NRC at anytime.
It is my judgement that 1 should not become involved until HL&P/B&R manage-ment have exhausted all effort to resolve the matter.
I will continue to track the matter.
