Dear Ms. Mattia:

I write to you regarding the NRC's' court reporting

~

~

contract. - Our recent Indian Point hearings straddled the changing of-the guard from Alderson Reporting Company to

~

Tayloe Associates, and with several thousand pages of trans-cripts from each reporting company I think I can speak authoritatively about the relative merite of each.

Perhaps a reference to the transcript corrections

-which we. filed with our Licensing Board will give,you the best overview of all.

There are over 15,000 pages of trans-cript in our Indian Point record.

The first approximately 11,000 were reported by Alderson and the last approximately

.4,000 were reported by-Tayloa.. When we recently filed transcript corrections with the' Board, over three-fourths of

them were on Tayloe transcript pages.: In other words, on the average, there were 12 times more significant errors occurring in the. Tayloe - transcripts.

There wereJalso numerous lost exhibits and g meral confusion surrounding

.the court reporting process.

1 I for one think that the NRC would be well advised to place transcript quality in a higher rank of criteria than others in the selection of a contract to perfonn this important function, and based upon extensive experience in the Indian Point case. I heartily recommend that you give further consideration in reengaging Alderson at the Learliest available opportunity, s

Very truly yours,,
