[ LETTER OF INSTRUCTION NO. 893, July 20, 1979 ]

TO: The Minister of Energy
The Solicitor General
The President, National Power Corporation

Circumstances relating to the nuclear power plant project, more specifically the failure to date of Westinghouse to secure an appropriate expert licenses for the nuclear reactor components, places in serious doubt the ability of Westinghouse to perform its obligations under the NPC-WIPCO Contract.

In view thereof, and independent of the question of safety, you are hereby directed to evaluate the situation, and if warranted, to terminate the NPC-WIPCO Contract, for cause.

Done in the City of Manila, this 20th day of July, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-nine.

(Sgd.) FERDINAND E. MARCOS
 President of the Philippines
