Wachholz 20237 Laurel Hill Way Germantown, MD 20545 Dear Bruce: Sorry to cause this to be waiting for you when you return from a glorious holiday in the sun; however, I need your help. Would you review the enclosed "declaration" and assure that it is factual with regard to activities in the Marshalls? It must be accurate and we do not want to point any fingers. However, we do want to get PNL dismissed as a defendant. Before this declaration is submitted it will be reviewed by PNL and DOE lawyers including those at headquarters. The deadline on having this ready for review is about the middle of May. Thanks very much. Sinceyely yours, W. J. Bair, Ph.D. Manager Environment, Health and Safety Research Program WJB: 1m Enclosure
