Dear John:

As I indicated to you in my letter of March 9, 1989, I sent a memorandum  ;

to the exercise evaluators and controllers requesting that they submit to me no later than March 3, 1989, any documents sought in your January 9, 1989 request which were in their possession.

t This inquiry produced copies of exercise evaluation documents that had been retained by two of the evaluators, Carol Roselli'(FEMA Region I) and Thomas Baldwin (Argonne National Laboratory). With this letter, I am providing copies of these documents to you and the other active Seabrook litigants. These are all the' documents I received in response to my memorandum.

Sincerely,

1. Jos ,h Flynn Assistant General Counsel l

Dear Mr. Backus:

In response to your request for production of any written comments on drafts of FEMA's report regarding the 1988 Seabrook graded exercise, I communicated.with the individuals who were asked to review the draft reports and inquired whether any of them had any such documents in his or her possession.

My inquiry has disclosed that Kevin Merli of FEMA Region I and Martin Simonin of Argonne National Laboratory retained documents related to their Each of these documents, however, review of a draft of the exercise report. ,

relates solely to the Maine portion of the exercise. My inquiry disclosed no ~

.other documents in FEMA's possession responsive to your request that.have not already.been provided, I am withholding the Merli and Simonin documents from production for the reason that their subject matter is not relevant to any contention admitted._in

~

the pending Seabrook hearings or likely to lead to the discovery of admissable evidence and thus beyond the scope of discovery.

Sincerely, H. Josep Flynn Assistant General Counsel
