For the record, as someone who was involved in the Ada 83
design process, I do not remember Jean Sammett having any
significant technical comments on the language design at
any time, so if she disagreed with technical decisions that
Jean was making (decisions by the way that were very
thoroughly reviewed by a large number of people), she did
not make these disagreements known to anyone else at the
time. Jean certainly had a lot of important input and ideas
with respect to non-technical aspects of Ada deployment,
but I think you may have misunderstood what she was telling
you!
