that have happened here over the years. CHAIRMAN MOSELEY: MR. ZIMMERMAN: Thank you. That would be my two priorities. Mr. Zimmerman. The hotspot issue, I was impressed with the resolution of the BOLTZMANN hotspot. I wondered about whether any attempt jis being done to do any soil sampling in the same area to get any further verifica- tion of its nonexistence. At least it's always seemed to me that the possibility of hotspots which at least heretofore has always been accepted was always a question mark in any analysis, no matter how exact it appeared to be. I would just suggest that maybe some more could be done to nail 10 down some ll of the other hotspots, whether it be by the sort of thing Dr. Malik suggested, topographical justifications for them; whether they're 12 really cool contours in a continuous hot contour, something like that. 13 The REECo CIC work, my first impression was at the rate they're going 14 it's going to take them about 15 more years to do what they are supposed to 15 do. 16 Suggesting, a little more selectivity. 17 did strike me that the selectivity might be more useful in terms of getting 18 the most out of the money at the present time, because there does not seem 19 to be any attempt to sort out the important from the unimportant. That either calis for more money, or it calls for what Roger Maybe it calls for both. is But it 20 Also, with respect to the litigation data, it seems to me that it js 21 quite possible that information is very pertinent to the ORERP effort that 22 will be turned up during the course of the litigation either by way of 23 deposition or possibly even conceivably by studies paid for and done by 24 plaintiffs, and that at present there does not seem to be a mechanism for 25 bringing that into CIC. 26 tion, and a mechansim ought to be set up to do that one way or another, and 27 I would not suggest that the government attornies pick and choose among 28 things. That might be some at least $10 or $100 informa- Perhaps they ought to just send all the depositions down, or some- 282
