SUPPLEMENTAL TESTIMONY OF JAY R. KESSLER ON BEHALF OF THE LONG ISLAND LIGHTING COMPANY ON CONTENTION 11 (CONFLICT OF INTEREST)

1. Q. Please state your name and business address.

A. My name is Jay R. Kessler; my business address is Long Island Lighting Company, 175 East Old Country Road, Hicksville, New York, 11801.

2. Q. Please give your professional qualifications.

A. My resume is attached to this testimony.

3. Q. Have you read the "LILCO Testimony on Contention 11 (Conflict of Interest)"?

A. Yes.

4. Q. Do you adopt Answer 25 (on pages 19-20 of that tes-timony) as your own?

N _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _

A. Yes.

5. Q. Are you one of the people designated to fill the LERO command-and-control position?

A. Yes. I am designated to be Director of Local Re-sponse in an emergency. I am one of the people who are alleged to be subject to a " conflict of inter-est."

l l 6. Q. Do you think you, or other LILCO employees in the command-and-control position, would let LILCO's corporate interests interfere with protecting the public?

A. No. I have been an employee at LILCO for more than 32 years. In that time, I have had numerous as-signments which entailed as part of their responsi-bility the requirement to respond to or participate in emergency activities involving LILCO's electric or gas system. During these assignments, I have had the opportunity to view first-hand the tradi-tion of public service which is a part of the work-ing philosophy of LILCO employees. My experience involves actual hands-on participation in emergency situations where I had to expose myself to danger-ous and explosive gaseous atmospheres in order to i

v evaluate the emergency situation and to prepare to take steps to provide for the public safety. I have also partici. pated for many years in a supervi-sory role, directing LILCO personnel in these pro-tective actions, and I have never seen a case where a LILCO employee did not do what was required to protect the public.
