Distribution (attached)
Dear Mr. Zack,
I feel it is my duty to inform you that since I reapended to your Regional Cffice agent's interview l
on November 6,1986, my two (2) inspection trips with two (2) of your site operational agents on Nov-ember 7th 412th 1986, and having contacted your Region IV Complakuts Coordinator on November 7,1986
--- I have heard nothing from those agents, I en extemely concerned that no corrective action t
I has been initiated concernin6 the design and install-stion defenoies.
The " Hot Functional Test ( s)" sched-ule needs to incorporate all known defenoies and the work completed before the test (s) are conducted.
Furthermore, an engineer who has identified some of his concerns on plant documentation / installation, called me and told me that your agent, Mr. Donald D.
Driakill has told him that my concerns were ' cosmetic".
Is is a practice of your agents to give his opinions to others before a report is given to one who has given a sworn deposition to the Government?
Addi itionally, I was promised a copy of my deposition by atr. Driskill on November 6,1986 -
I.have not receiv-l od it.
Neither have I received any telephone calla or reports on my inspection trips with your agents or Complainta Coordinator.

Because of no response from your agency, and in order to identify the problems at the South Texas Nuolour Power Plant. I have met with the State of Texas office of Public Utility Counsel, the fim of Fulbright.
Jaworski, and the Austin, Texas American Statesmen news-paper.
Also, I have been in contact with the Government Accountability Project in Washington, D. C..

My employer, Bechtel, has terminated my employment since I first contacted you, and therfore I have no direct way of being informed if any coreotive action is being implemented on the defenoies at the plant.
Under these serious circumstances pursuant to the configuration of the plant systems, I sincerely recommend that you consider issuing a stop Work Ozter to the project.
