The date of information I am requesting should be November 14,1996 The subject matter was inreference to 6 Security Violations at the salem / hope creek nuclear power plants. We were told that such in fact our site manager for a meeting took place at Region I ,

Wackenhut even wanted one of our people to go but it posed a problem . I've been told that we will know what went on concerning us and the security department. A full report or atleast a briefing on the matter. But I'm not sure coming from those sources that we'll get the full story. Any help will be appreciated. Also I am in need of the addresse to send official Freedom of Information Request .

Thanking You for your time and reply, Douglas D. Solomon woe m4e -
