August 23, 1984 MEMORANDUM 70: Elva W. Leins

Assistant Execut.ive Secretary, ASLBP *

.  !- i -

, FROM: Marshall E. Miller ~. ' ' '

. Administrative Judge

SUBJECT:

SHOREHAM TRANSCRIPT, PAGES 2969-3118 The closing arguments and other pmceedings in the Shoreham case have been submitted by the court reporters, Free State Reporting, Inc., as pages 2969-3118 of the' official transcript in this proceeding. This transcript is totally unacceptable as the official record.

The proceedings are so substantially mistranscribed and the fundamental errors are so numerous and egregious that it is impossible to correct

' them by arrata sheets. A letter dated August 23, 1984, from Hunton and

! Williams, Esq. (copy attached) correctly describes the wholesale errors j and the attempts of the parties to reconstruct their own arguments.

This situation is intolerable. As the presiding administrative judge I t

formally request that this entire transcript be completely rewritten and proofread, and that this reporting firm be removed from any other hearings or proceedings with which I am associated.

Marshall E. Miller Chairman Atomic Safety and Licensing Board U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 4350 East-Nest Highway, North Tower Bethesda, ND 20814 Shoreham Low Power Proceeding Bear Judge Miller

.s In reviewing the August 16, the closing arguments of the parties, we discovered that the1984 transcript c arguments of counsel for both LILCO and the NRC had been sub-stantially mistraneeribed.

censing Board, NRC, LILCO notified counsel for the Li-tempted to notify. counsel for New York State.and Buffolk County of this pro Both the NRC and Suffolk County have agreed to the submittal of a corrected copy of the transcript to the Board and 'to the parties who have ac ,

tively. participated in the Low Power Proceeding.

, LILCO attempted to reconstruct its own argument and worked argument.with Bob Perlis, counsel for the NRC, to reconstruct his Ms. Letsche, counsel for Suffolk County, whose argu-ment appears for the most part to have been properly tran-scribed, has not had the opportunity to review the limited cor-frections made by LILCO to her argument and reserves the right to submit her own corrections. .

Sl-(~

g Husrow & WILLI AMS Marshall E. Miller, Chairman August 23, 1984 Page 2 Due to the inordinate -number of corrections, LILCO be-lieved that, rather than submit an errata sheet, it would be more efficient and useful to those who would be reading the transcript to aerox the transcript with corrections noted on the page. Such a copy of the transcript is enclosed. The length of the transcript militates again sending copies to all persons on the service list; however, LILCO will supply copies on request to any party on the service list at that party's az-pense.

Sincerely, e 4lWl(d h.  %*
