wud Mahlon E. Gates, Manager, NV LOD iv/g -4- not plan to pursue this issue in any fashion because it is clearly not PASO business - but it surely is DOE business and someone must care. So, in summary, I believe I have a clear and unavoidable obligation to do something about this situation. I believe "that something” is that NV should bring this matter to the personal attention of the ASEV and force the issue one way or the other. It may be that the only solution is to let BNL charter their own vessel and be entirely responsible for the medical program. fhe only thing that is entirely unacceptable is continuation of the present arrangement.
