JONES, JONES, CLOSE & BROWN 700 Valley Bank Plaza 300 South Fourth Street Las Vegas, NV 89101-6026 RE: Nevada Power vs. Monsanto et al. Dear Mr. McCrea: Your letter of February 6, 1991 has been forwarded to all corporate counsel and all attorneys appearing for the defendants in this matter. I have been asked to respond on behalf of Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The reasons stated in support of your proposal to consider immediate settlement are inappropriate and without merit. The position of Westinghouse taken in this litigation is not inconsistent with the position taken in other litigation. ! JLT/ds cc: Jeffrey S.
