April 26, 1976 Dear Mr. Gross:
We have today forwarded , under separatc cover, all Appendix D questionnaires we have received as of the above date under Part III of the above-captioned order. We hereby request advice as to whether our determination of who is an eligible class member complies with the terms of the Order provision.
Those questionnaires of persons who we believe to be eligible are designated by a red check in the upper right-hand corner of the cover page. The amount of entitlemcnt is noted and circled in red on page 5. In several cases, the amount of tuition claimed was in excess of the maXImum tuition ever r d and was accordingly reduced and noted.
A red slash was placed through the question which made each member ineligible.
We wm expect your advice and the return of all Appendix questionnaires before June 24, 1976. We would appreciate rccciving your advice as much in advance of June 24 as possible since it now appears that the thirty-day pcriod for calculating refund , writing chccks and writing notification letters is inadequate, particularly if thc eligibility list is as shabby as the initial listing was. Should further substantiating documentation be desircd for any of our determinations, please contact us. To document each and every determination would be extremely burdensome and produce little
benefit for the costs incurred.
Sincerely,
/s/ J. V. German, Manager
Regulatory Agency Relations
