Counsel for TUGCO in Dallas have had schedule discussions regarding supplemental discovery with representatives of the Public Utilities Board of the City of Brownsville.                  Consistent with the Board's suggestion at the last prehearing conference, TUGCO is endeavoring to coordinate all outstanding discovery matters and believes that its supplemental responses to the                      ,
Department of Justice and to the NRC Staff will go a long way toward meeting Brownsville's needs.            TUGCO will be in a position to provide any further supplementary responses to Brownsville that may be required upon review and discussion by both parties of TUGCO's supplements to Justice and NRC.
