The details of the scenario, including a complete set of all the FEMA " free play" and " simulator" messages, are essential to our understanding of what happened (or was supposed to have happened) during the exercise.

I request that the scenario, the exercise messages, and tne related documents concerning development of the scenario be provided to us.

We request copies of those LILCO-kept logs and similar written records generated during-the exercise.

After we have had a chance to review these materials and FEMA's report on the exercise, we may have additional requests which we will pursue informally or, if necessary, by more formal means.

Please call me, Larry Lanpher or Mike Miller if you have any questions.
