Unit 1) )

LILCO'S APPLICATION FOR ISSUANCE OF A SUBPOENA Pursuant to the Board's ruling of June 3,1988 ordering that LILCO have the dis-covery it seeks regarding realism /best efforts, including the County of Suffolk Emer-gency Operations PlPn (the "Plan") and the Board's retention of jurisdiction over this Plan, as announced in the June 10 and June 17, 1988 teleconferences, Long Island Lighting Compr.y (LILCO) requests the presiding officer of this Licensing Board to issue a subpoena under 10 CFR S 2.720 to command the production of relevant docu-ments as set forth in the subpoena, and the appearance and testimony by deposition on oral examination of "rank R. Jones.

Mr. Jones is the former Deputy Suffolk County Executive with responsibility over Administration and Special Projects. It is LILCO's understanding, underscored by representations made by counsel for Suffolk County, that Mr. Jones coordinated the County's document production in the Shoreham matter at least in 1982-83. A copy of a memorandum dated July 23, 1982, from Mr. Jones to "All Department Heads" in the County is Attachment A to this application. In its June 20,1988 Motion for Licensing Bocrd to Vacate June 17 Order, the County confirms that Mr. Jones played a key role in the production of discovery documents in 1982-83:

)

i

'e It is impossible for the County to identify every person who was involved in document production in the 1982-83 era. We can state that Messrs. F. Jones, J. Bilello, and R. Jones were involved, with Mr. F. Jones having lead responsibility.

Id. at 11-12 n.9 (emphasis added). Since the County says that it believes that the "Op-erations Plan was produced in its entirety during discovery in 1982," id. at 11 n.9, it is clear that the deposition of Mr. Jones is appropriate and necessary. Mr. Jones should have knowledge regarding the existence, development, and maintenance of the County of Suffolk Emergency Operations Plan; the County's responses to LILCO's discovery which shoulo have elicited that Plan; and other relevant matters.

It is likewise clear, given the County's refusal thus far to make available for dep-osition any of the persons previously ordered by the Board to be produced, that the County will not produce Mr. Jones absent Board intervention. LILCO foreshadowed its intention to seek a subpoena for Mr. Jones' deposition in a letter from counsel for LILCO to counsel for the County and State, dated June 17, 1988. In it, counsel for LILCO notes that Mr. Jones "has knowledge of the matters over which the Board has retained jurisdiction for discovery." A copy of that letter is Attachment B to this Ap-plication. Further, Mr. Jones is no longer employed by the County, and subpoena ap-pears necessary to ensure his attendance at a deposition.

For the reasons stated above, LILCO asks the Board to issue a subpoena for the appearance of Mr. Jones and the production of relevant documents as set forth in the subpoena, at a deposition upon oral examination on the date specified in the attached subpoena.

Dear Larry and Rick:

We note that the "Government's Response" filed June 15, 1988, consistent with Larry's letter of a few days ago, states that John Bilello believes that the County of Suffolk, Emergency Operations Plan "was among the documents gathered and sent to counsel pursuant to then Deputy County Executive Frank Jones' 1982 directive" and that "Frank Jones believes the Operations Plan was among the documents to be produced to LILCO. . . .

Frank Jones, of course, is no longer employed by the County and has not been for several months. Though answers to our Third Set of Interrogatories are not due until next Tuesday, June 21, we assume, based on these recent representations, that Frank Jones coordinated the County's document production efforts in the i

Shoreham matter at least in 1982. He thus has knowledge of the

! matters over which the Board has retained jurisdiction for l discovery. Accordingly, in light of these recent l representations, we plan to request a subpoena for Frank Jones'

deposition. This may come up in the conference call the Board l has scheduled for 11 AM this morning.

S ncerely yours, 1
