He described that the particular weld about which he was concerned and cited had some gouges which did not meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute.
Accordingly, he notified his immediate supervisor, Charles Ross, who in turn notified his supervisor Charles Baldwin.
Baldwin then advised him that he would have the design engineers check the particular gouge / weld and then directed him to sign off on the weld.
He did, in fact, sign off on the weld prior to viewing the design engineers results ar.d did so on the assurance of Baldwin that this would be properly done.
He concluded the interview by advising he had no additional information to provide OIA.
