Mr. C. Mathews General Manager 550 85th Avenue Oakland, CA 94261 Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter of May 6,1982, in response to our letter dated April 15, 1982.
As a result of our review, we find that additional information, as discussed with your Mr. R. E. Boyer during a telephone call on May 12, 1982, is needed.
Specifically, with respect to item E in the Notice of Nonconformance, it is our understanding that a physical survey of the vendor was not performed on January 27, 1982, as indicated in your reply.
Accordingly, the corrective action measures originally requested by our letter of April 15, 1982, are still needed with respect to this nonconformance.
We have no further questions at this time with respect to items A, B, C, D, and F in the Notice of Nonconformance, and will review your corrective actions and preventive measures during a future inspection.
Please provide this additional information within 25 days from the date of this letter in order that we may complete our review.
