  • APPENDIX "B 0 AFFIDAVIT OF CHARLES M. PRATT CHARLES M. PRATT, being duly sworn, deposes and says that he is an Assistant General Counsel for the Power Authority of the State of New York, that he is fully familiar with the pri.or proceedings had herein and that he submits this affidavit in support of licensees' motion 'o impose sanctions on Dean Corren and Richard Rosen.
1. On March 11, 1983 Dean Corren telephoned me and informed me that Greater New York Council on Energy

("GNYCE") had received licensees' motion to compel further responses to discovery requests. That motion, inter alia, requests that GNYCE be compelled to respond to licensees' interrogatories concerning an economic' study referred to by Corren in April 1982 which was then being prepared by Energy Systems Research Group, Inc. ("ESRG"). GNYCE had failed or refused to respond to licensees' interrogatories and informal attempt to obtain adequate responses to licensee ' discovery requests as late a January 7, 1983.

2. Corren informed deponent that ESRG had just recently finished work on the study. Deponent replied that he doubted that the study had just been completed. Corren, however, repeated categorically that it had just been finished. Deponent asked Corren when the work would be available for inspection. He replied that ESRG was mailing the study and appropriate backup materials to him on March lith and that it would be available for licensees I "within a week".

3. Deponent is informed that an ESRG study, as set forth at length in licensees' motion, was completed in October 1982. De.conent respectfully submits that Corren's statement abotit the time of completion of the ESRG -

study is inaccurate. -

WHEREFORE, Ccponent respectfully requests that the relief sought in licensees' motion be granted.
