Dear Mr. Chairman:
In my May 23, 2003, response to your March
25, 2003 letter, regarding Software Quality Assurance (SQA) deficiencies at the
Pantex Site Office (PXSO), we indicated that if all planned actions were not
completed by February 28, 2004, we would provide you an update on the status. The enclosed PXSO memorandum indicates that
BWXT has completed all the actions to improve the SQA of the Move Right System.
The SQA lessons learned from the Move
Right System are being applied and incorporated in the Interactive Electronic
Procedure System.
This letter completes actions required in
response to your letter of March 25, 2003.
If you have any questions, please contact me
or have your staff contact Jeff Underwood at (301) 903-8303 or Steve Erhart at
(806) 477-6150.
Sincerely,
Everet H. Beckner
Deputy Administrator
for Defense Programs
