previously

propounded by American

1.

in the Interrogatory, Amei-ican asked Petitioner to “iclentify

each witness who you

will call to testify at the hearing on the Petition and stale the subject ofeach witness’ testimony.”

2.

Petitioner objected to theInterrogatory, asserting the workproduct doctrine.

the identi ties ofexpectedwitnesses northe subjects o itheir testimony, however, areprotected by the

workproduct doctrine.

liuleed, the ilearing Officeraireadyhas orderedthat all partiesdisclose their

Code of

Civil

Procedure and the Supreme Court Rules for guidance where the Board’s procedural

rules aresilent.”

requires

that

such information

he

provided:

“For

each laywilness,

the party must

identify

the

on which

the

witness

will testify.

An answer is sufficient ifit gives reasonable notice ofthe

Leslilnony,

taking into account the limitations

on

the party’s knowledge ofthe facts known by and

opinions held by the witness.”

4.

Such disclosure is especiahlyimportantin cases like this one, in which the parties arc

required

to

complete

significant discovery

in

a

relatively short period of time.

Petitioner’s

full

TCS~OflSC

to the Interrogatory

will

enable

American to

dctemiine which, if any, of the identified

Witnesses

it

wishes

to

depose,

promote

the

efficient preparation ofthis

case,

and

prevent unfair

surprise.

5.

For all of

the

foregoing reasons, American respectfully requests theIlcaring Officer to
