Employee Bulletin No. 35, August 26, 1980
196 K PDF File
5x5 Page Background GIF Image
This Employee Bulletin paid lip service to compliance with regulations.  Actually, I was expected to sign incomplete, unverified, or otherwise incorrect documents.  I was expected to remain silent about it.  Contrary to the assurances of support given in the Employee Bulletin, management was utterly opposed to my efforts to stay within the various regulations.  Eventually, I was laid off due to lack of work at a time when GE was sending surplus work to subcontractors.  The situation is discussed in considerable detail in my memoir Outward Bound.

Deposition Before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Wednesday, April 16, 1986

This is the draft version of the transcript of my investigative interview by the NRC.  I never received a copy of the final version of the transcript.  This draft version contains a disappointing number of typographical errors and transcription errors.  Nevertheless, it provides a powerful and gripping account of some of my activities at GE.
