Ms. Billie Pirner Garde, Director Environmental Whistleblower Clinic yR 11 M86 Government Accountability Project Suite 202 1555 Connecticut Avenue, NW IN RESPONSE REFER Washington, DC 20036 TO F0IA-86-208

Dear Ms. Garde:

This is in response to your letter dated March 24, 1986, in which you requested, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (F0IA), any records regarding potential sabotage at the Comanche Peak nuclear power plant.

In a telephone conversation between you and David Meyer of my staff on April 1,1986, you clarified your request by indicating an interest in an incident at the Comanche Peak plant which may have resulted in a Commission notification within the last two months. In light of this conversation, the staff identified the three documents, identified on the enclosed appendix, which are now available for public inspection and copying at the NRC Public Document Room in file folder F0IA-86-208 under your name.

If after your review of these records you determine you wish any other specific documents, please submit another F0IA request.

Sincerely,

& = A}

Donnie H. Grimsley, Director Division of Rules and Records Office of Administration
