I Dear This letter is to document av several requests to you for additional information in order that I may conclude my investigation of your allegation that drugs are being used at the San Onofre jobsite.
I telephoned you on Thursday, July 12, 1984 and requested from you the name of the person or persons who reportedly saw the incident related in your attached statement. Last Wednesday (July 18,1984) I repeated that request and handed to you a copy of the attached " Exit Interview" form. You indicated that I
(
would receive both the form and the name (or nemes) through the attorney for the Carpenters Union, Abe Levy.
I called Mr. Levy on July 23, but he indicated that he had neither the fore nor the identity of the informant. Mr. Levy was not aware that he was to provide me with any data. Mike Wiley told me on July 24 that he was meeting with you and Mr. Levy on Wednesday and that he would call me on the afternoon of July 25. Mr. Wiley did not call me, and I atte.epted several times to reach him on Thursday, July 26.
Once again, I would like to encourage you to cooperate in Bechtel's investigation into any drug use at San Onofre. Kindly have Mr. Levy provide me with the signed Exit Interview form.as well as any specific information as to witnesses who could personally attest to any instances.
If you know of anyone who has seen drugs being used on the jobsite, please advise them that they can telephone me collect at (415) 768-7701.
