the Motions disclosed that the missing pages were the pages on the reverse side of the document. MILTON related that neither Dr. MILLS nor she had intentionally tried to deceive Dr. CALDWELL in his review.

CONCLUSION There is no evidence which indicates any attempt or deliberate act on the part of Dr. MILLS, MILTON, or the NRC to deceive Dr. CALDWELL in his review of the AAMODT Motions.

On February 20, 1985, the U.S. Department of Justice (D0J) notified the AAM0DTS that there was no evidence that Dr. MILLS deliberately withheld portions of the AAMODT Motions from the information provided to D0J by the AAM0DTS.

Based on the foregoing, this inquiry is closed.
