  1. I U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission i Washington, DC 20555 3EP 7 " o n 1.989' l Re: LONG ISLAND LIGHTING COMPANY Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (EP Exercise)

Docket No. 50-322-OL-5

Dear Mr. Parler:

Attached is a limited appearance statement filed by Lou Grasso, Managing Editor, Suffolk Life Newspapers, in the Shoreham proceeding.

(Mr. Grasso's oral statement appears at Tr. 16866-76, September 25, 1986.) This statement alleges that Staff's conduct in this proceeding is improper in that ". . . Staff secretly [ received] from LILCO an advance copy of LILCO's brief relating to New York State's, Suffolk County's, and Southhampton's contentions and then repeatedly [ copied] or superficially [ edited] LILCO's positions, and even words." The statement demands that the " secret relationship" between Staff and LILCO be investigated by this Board, and ". . . an end to the NRC Staff's cozy and secret ties to LILCO,." Under the schedule adopted by the Board, the brief in question was filed simultaneously with Staff's brief.

A similar, although less strident, allegation was made by Suffolk County, the State of New York, and the Town of Southhampton at pp. 2-3 of their August 25, 1985, response to. Staff's and LILCO's opposition to their contentions. No admitted contention challenges Staff's role in this proceeding and the Board has not seen fit to accept the intervenors' invitation to go into it.

We bring the allegations of the limited appearance statement to your attention because Mr. Grasso's letter charges Staff counsel, who functions within your office, with improprieties.
