Re:
Dear Harv:

Yankee Atomic v. U. S.. Connecticut Yankee v. U. S.. Maine Yankee v. U.

Enclosed is Yankee Atomic s notice of depositions for the government' s experts. As you know, Jerry Stouck faxed a letter to you, Marian Sullivan and Kevin Crawford back on March noting our need to schedule these depositions in the second half of April and asking about the witness ' availability. Despite the passage of time and numerous follow-up telephone calls , we have received no availability information from the government. Therefore , we have little choice but to serve the enclosed notice. Nevertheless , we remain willing discuss alternative dates for these depositions if the dates set out in the notice are not convenient for the witnesses or counsel.
