) August 12 , 1987 ORDER REGARDING DISCLOSURE AND PROTECTION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS 1 This niatter has been brought before the Administrative Law Judge upon the joint motion of the parties, which have concurred in the issuance of this Order.

I In connection with the deposition of H. Lee Hofmann; Chief i

Auditor of Bechtel Power Corporation, a document was identified which related to the methodology of the internal audit group in conducting confidential investigations. Unlimited disclosure of the document was claimed to have a potential adverse impact on j 1

the conduct of future investigations. To avoid the necessity for j 1

resolution of claims that the document is privileged and/or otherwise entitled to protection, the parties have agreed to re-solve the matter at this time (and without waiver by either party of the right to seek additional relief from the Presiding Offi-cer) by the disclosure of the document subject to this protective order. gj, 8708190044 g7ogjp 9 gDR ADOCK 05000320 PDR
