v ElCHHORN, EICHHORN & LINK Herbert Grossman, Esquire Dr. Robert L. Holton Dr. J. Venn Leeds Page 2 July 8, 1981 In connection with the PCCI Application, we advised the Board by letter dated June 25, 1981, of our view that the Board should, at least, require demonstration of the " general relevance" of the desired deposition testimony and documents before issuing the subpoenas. We reiterate that suggestion with respect to the Illinois Application of June 23. Illinois has furnished no explanatory detail in its Application; it F.as not identified the su?>jects to be explored; it has not explained the need for deposing five employees (or former employees) of NIPSCO contractors.

Therefore, NIPSCO requests that the Board withhold the requested subpoenas at this time.

Yours very truly, EICHHORN, EICHHORN & LINK By:

William H. Eichhorn WHE/dgg
