WASHINGTON. D.C. 20566-0001 June 24, 1997 Mr. Robert H. Leyse 12136 Brookglen Drive Saratoga, CA 95070

Dear Mr. Leyse:

l am responding to your e-mail messages to Chairman Jackson dated May 31 and June 2,1997, concerning the December 30,1996, Arthur Andersen report. My office, the Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data (AEOD)is responsible for initiating and providing oversight for the Arthur Andersen study of the Senior Management Meeting process.

The services of Arthur Andersen were obtained through a purchase order in accordance with an existing GSA supply schedule contract. Initially, three companies which were deemed appropriate by knowledgeable AEOD staff were selected from the GSA schedule.

These vendors were sent a " Request for Quote" (RFO) regardirg the proposed work. The technical specifications for this RFO were written by AEOD management. Arthur Andersen was the only vendor to respond to this

est. Their proposal met the requirements of the work and they were found to tc Mhnically qualified. Copies of the RFO, slides used by, Arthur Andersen during their oru aresentation, the evaluation of the i

RFO response, the Purchase / Delivery Order documentation which includes the cost of the 1

work and estimated hours, and the Statement of Work have been placed in the Public Document Room (PDR). Also, as you requested, a copy of the final report from the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, " Senior Management Meeting Performance Data Additions," dated December 1996 and the resumds of key Arthur Andersen personnel have been placed in the PDR.

During the study, interviews of senior NRC staff were conducted by Arthur Andersen and NRC personnel. Structured questionnaires were not used and interviewees were assured anonymity. Consequently, no documents are available because allinterview records and notes were destroyed after the report was issued. The results of these interviews were characterized in the report.

Transcripts of open Commission Meetings and transcripts of ACRS and ACNW meetings are routinely released in ASCI text and are available on diskette for purchase at the PDR.

They are also placed on Fedworld for 30 days where they can be downloaded.

Additionally, the transcripts of ACRS and ACNW meetings are available from the NRC y~ 62, 7

g Worldwide Web site where they can be searched by key word. Transcripts of Commission l
