20555 in the Matter of GPU Nuclear Corporation (Three Mlle Island Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2)
Docket No. 50-320 License No. DPR-73 EA 84-137 (Civil Penalty)
Dear Judge Smith:
This letter will memorialize the telephone conversation among J. Patrick Hickey the undersigned and your Honor of Tuesday, July 7,1987.
I reported that the deposition of Richard Parks had gone forward on June 22, 1987 for two-and-one-half days in Los Angeles, and had to be continued.
Similarly, the deposition of H. Lee Hofmann went forward in San Francisco on June 25,-1987, for one day, and also had to be continued.
Although the dates for completing these two depositions have yet to be finalized by the parties, Mr. Hlckey and myself hope to complete the two depositions during the week of August 17-21, 1987.
I would add that both depositions had to be continued to later dates due to witness unavailability.
Hearing-related obligations of Staff counsel In the Shoreham operating license proceeding make proceeding with the two depositions before the second half of August very difficult.
I would add that in any event, Mr. Hickey had informed me that as a result of witness unavailability and Mr. Hickey's vacation schedule, the only Wible dates before then would have been the last week of July.
During that week, I will be in Hauppeuge, NY for the ongoing Shoreham hearings.
It was also noted that counsel were working to resolve the matter of the need I
for testimony of A. Bill Beach.
As a result of further discussions among l
counsel, counsel for the Staff believes it is necessary to reserve the right to j
call Mr. Beach as a rebuttal witness, and based on that understanding, Mr.
l Hickey has indicated his desire to depose Mr. Beach.
Counsel will attempt to schedule this deposition as soon as practicable.
However, scheduling conflicts during the next two months, including those of Mr. Beach, may not allow time to depose Mr. Beach before the first week in September, in addition, Staff counsel informed you that he has learned from the Office of the Solicitor of the Department of Labor (DOL), that the DOL does not anticipate either making former DOL compliance officer David Feinberg l
