Mr. William Anders Chairman COMMITTEE ON INTERIOR AND INSULAR AFFAIRS U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20515 March 12, 1976 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Dear Mr. Chairman: COPY STAFF DIRECTOR LEE MCELVAIN GENERAL COUNSEL MICHAEL C. MARDEN As you know, the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment has oversight responsibilities with regard to civilian applications of nuclear energy. In my capacity as Subcommittee Chairman, I have requested from the NRC information on a series of matters. In each instance, the requested information was of a nature that should have been of interest to the Commission itself and therefore should have been readily available.

Answers to your five letters are either in the mail or in the last stages of preparation and review. You should be receiving them soon. I trust that you will find our replies fully responsive to your inquiries. We sincerely regret the delay in our responses. Several of your letters requested detailed statistical information which required some time to collect. All raised matters with broad policy implications, matters to which each of the Commissioners has wished to give his personal attention in fashioning agency responses. Regretably, in these instances the Commission's desire to be thorough in all of its responses to Congressional inquiries came into conflict with the need for prompt, expeditious handling. Each of the Commissioners has been made aware of your concern that |
