sentence of Exhibit No. 109, I'll read it, it says

what liabilities and obligations on the part of both
parties are locked in by the DCS submittal and

approval process.
Okay.
Now, that' s a question that -- you know,

the words are different.

But it'

s very similar to

this question about the legal significance, is that
right, do you agree with that?
I agree with your statement.

So, therefore, you had no understanding of

what liabilities and obligations on the part of both

parties are locked in by the DCS submittal and
approval process contemporaneous with this document

in August of '91; is that right? That I S right.
And you had no understanding about those matters as of the time you stopped working on waste
acceptance matters in March 1995?

That I S accurate.

And you had no understanding about those

matters at least prior to the time that whatever
understanding you gained by reading this draft that
you just referred to?

That I S correct.

Do you know whether the standard contract
or any of these -- not these standard contracts but
any of these individual waste acceptance contracts

with the utilities were ever amended?
MR . CRAWFORD :

Well, object to the extent

of lack of foundation and to the extent it would call
for speculation.
Bu t go ahead.

MR. STOUCK:

m not asking for

speculation, 1' m

just asking if he knows if any of

them were ever amended.
MR . CRAWFORD:

Then maybe my obj ection

is

more appropriately obj ection, vague.

questioning of the wi tne&s

trial.

(Discussion off the record.

I will reserve the right to

ask questions should Mr. Stouck succeed as he states

that he intends to do in getting Mr. Brownstein

But I will say that we will oppose

that.
