HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER COMPANY'SRESPONSE TO CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY'S

MOTION TO COMPEL

on March 28, 1979, Houston Lighting & Power Com-

pany (" Houston") filed answers and objections to Central

Power and Light Comapny's ("CP&L") Second Set of Interroga-

tories and Request for Production of Documents ("Second

Interrogatories"). On April 20, 1979, CP&L filed its

Motion to Compel Houston Lighting & Power Co. to Answer

Interrogatories (" Motion") with respect to certain ques-

tions in the Second Interrogatories, to which Houston

responds as follows:

1. Mr. Jordan's testimony on pages 2804-05 of

2318 a38 pouvoA.

'

.

the District Court transcript refers to Mr. Simmons' con-

ceptual study and the Stagg study, both of which have been

furnished to CP&L. Otherwise, no studies of the kind

inquired into in Interrogatory No. 16(b) of the Second

Interrogatories exists.

2. Attorneys for Houston and CP&L have conferred

with respect to the answers to Second Interrogatory Nos.

18 and 19. Houston has furnished CP&L with the specific

identities of the entities described in CP&L's Second

Interrogatory Nos. 18 and 19 that Houston could identify

after a good faith and reasonable inquiry of its employees.

An attorney for CP&L has reviewed Houston's contract files

of those entities and designated documents therein for

copying.

3. Houston is not aware of any studies,

analyses or records of documents of the kind described

in Second Interrogatory No. 20. It is possible that

documents responsive to Second Interrogatory No. 20 exist

within Houston's contract files. Houston has made a good

faith and reasonable effort to ascertain the identity of

any contract file that might contain such documents. How-

ever, Houston has been unable to find any employee with

a recollection that any contract file contains documents

responsive to Interrogatory No. 20. Nevertheless, the

contract files, which were reviewed by CP&L prior to the

2318 339_2_

'

.

.

District Court case, are available for CP&L's further

inspection.

4. With respect to Plaintiffs' Exhibit 814,

the persons who participated in the preparation of said

Exhibit and the documents related thereto are also the

persons who had knowledge of such documents at or about

the time of their preparation. Those persons are: John

Meyer, K. L. Williams, R. M. McCuistion and Mike Connolly.

Exhibit 814 was generated early-on in Houston's attempt

to evaluate the PTI Report. The persons listed above

were attempting to evaluate the PTI Report and had knowl-

edge of the creation of Exhibit 814 by virtue of that

evaluation.

5. Mr. D. E. Simmons answered CP&L's Second

Interrogatories. In the process, Mr. Simmons sought and

received information from the following persons: R. M.

McCuistion, D. D. Sykora, R. L. Evans, R. E. Doan, K.

Hinckley, Laura Warnasch, E. A. Turner and J. D. Greenwade.

Respectfully submitted,
