14 want to make sure that these are your notes?

j 15 A.

Yes, they are.

f i

16 u.

19 or key words that they said or try to capture the 20 conversation that is going on in the control room?

l t

l 21 A.

Yes.

felt that everything just went real well in an

()

2 actual emergency.

There were a few phone numbero 3

that were wrong of people I was calling in for'the 4

dayshift.

I think we need to keep a better eye on 5

the correct phone numbers for people.

This was not 6

the key people, it was the dayshift.

We had to call 7

in the entire dayshift, and I ran into a little 8

trouble with a couple of the phone numbers, but 9

other than that, I t houg ht things just went real 10 well.

11 HR. DELL:

I want to maku sure that you 12 understood that before you came into the room, you

13 could have had the company lawyer or your supervisor, 14 and you chose to come by yoursel f ?

Yes.
