PLEASE CONFIRM YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OPEN THE 11 ATTACHMENTS COMPLETELY Fred Bower, Chief September 11, 2018 Reactor Projects Branch 3 Division of Reactor Projects 2100 Renaissance Boulevard, STE 100 King of Prussia, PA 19406 Mr. Bower:
Thank you for responding to my voicemail to you on September 6, 2018. Frankly, I was shocked to learn and see part of your response (below) to me which read, "Please be informed that I did not take; therefore, do not have any notes from this deleted voicemail".
Part of my message and comments to you contained in this Voicemail, September 6, 2018, were the following:
We The People (WTP) believes Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Chairwoman, Kristine L.
Svinicki, as well as those who are in charge of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), have a responsibility to call for a full investigation of the September 2, 2016, meeting with Deputy Massachusetts (MA) State Police Commander Francis Hughes between WTP, the Commander and others, including, Mr. John Giarrusso Director of Nuclear Affairs of the MA Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).
WTP also believes if Chair Svinicki continues to ignore our request she will be impeding this probe like other government entities in MA, which includes Governor Charlie Baker, MA Attorney General Maura Healey's 4 member Legal Team, MA Officials of MEMA and Public Safety Departments. WTP has brought our emergency planning concerns to each of them and at this this meeting, 9-2-16, pertaining to Seabrook Station's Evacuation Plan. Part of this information WTP provided was the names of the brave whistleblowers with their permission, connected to GAG ORDERS presently on the MA State Police and NH National Guard. WTP wants NRC Chair Svinicki, also, to be made aware WTP gave Deputy Commander Francis Hughes a copy of WTP's letter with enclosures, of July 4, 2014, written to your predecessor, Glenn T. Dentel. As you know from past voice messages and letters WTP has sent, and you have acknowledged in letters to WTP, the notes taken and information WTP provided at this meeting have been documented as now missing or have been destroyed.
I also want to make you aware, I took your advice and recommendation and have been in touch with Mr. Douglas F. Wolcott, Jr., Acting Deputy Regional Administrator FEMA, Region I.
(see Attached Letter). In addition, I have contacted District of MA, U. S. Attorney, Andrew E.
Lelling. As you and the NRC may or may not know, Mr. Lelling has taken over, from the MA AG's Office, the MA State Police ongoing and widely publicized "Trooper Gate Scandal".
Unfortunately, WTP has not been contacted since being in touch with Mr. Lelling's office if his office has any intention, from the documentation WTP has provided, whether Mr. Lelling's office intends to make this a part his ongoing investigation of MA State Police Scandals. WTP believes this should include what I know and others said, together with what documentation WTP provided, at this meeting held at the MA State Police Barracks in Newbury MA 9-2-2016.
As the NRC and many others know, I was asked to attend this meeting by Former Deputy Commander of MA State Police, Francis Hughes, who by the way WTP and I have a lot of respect for.
WTP wants you and Chairwoman Svinicki to know on September 6, 2018, I had a another conversation with Mr. Brian O. Merrick, MA Legislative Liaison, Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. Mr. Merrick informed me of the following: "Mr. Comley, you have provided substantial information to confirm your charges to us concerning the September 2, 2016, meeting at the MA State Police Barracks in Newbury MA". I replied: "Why hasn't MA Secretary of Public Safety, Daniel Bennett, required a full investigation of what occurred at the meeting of September 2, 2016?" I also mentioned to Mr. Merrick: "The longer Mr. Bennett and Governor Baker waits, the worse it looks". Mr. Merrick replied: " I understand Mr.
Comley". I then stated: "As you know, Mr. Merrick, the Boston Herald's article (attached) of February 2, 2018, entitled, "Just How Low Have The Staties Fallen?" It included this Statement:
"How High? The Lawyer for the Troopers suing over orders to falsify arrest records says the just-retired ranking officer told them orders to change the records came form Public Safety and Security Secretary Daniel Bennett". Mr. Merrick's reply to this statement was: " Mr.
Comley, that is not true". I replied: " I am glad to hear Mr. Bennett did not order the Police reports to be altered. Then why hasn't Mr. Bennett, to date, asked for a full investigation of the meeting 9-2-16?". Mr. Merrick then stated: "I will pass on your comments to Mr.
Bennett".
Mr. Bower, due to your admission you have destroyed comments I made on the voice mail I sent you 9-6-2018, please respond to these following questions:
A. Did NRC Regional General Counsel, Brett Klukan, advise you to erase and eradicate this e-mail of 9-6-2018?
B. Are you aware, Mr. Bower, of a conversation I had yesterday with your Assistant, Jerry Powell?
C. If you are, what is your understanding of the content of this conversation I had with Ms.
Powell?
D. Is there a current record of the notes Ms. Powell took of my requests? One of my requests was that I wanted to be made aware of the correct spelling of an additional Assistant of yours and the notes this person took from and during our conversation of August 31, 2018. This conversation lasted 62 minutes from 8:56 - 9:03 AM. I was assured by this Assistant the notes she had taken would reflect what this person and I said during this time we were on the phone.
E. Mr. Bower, have you been able to review these notes?
F. If so, will the NRC and you provide me with a copy of them?
Part of these notes contained my reading from a Transcript of one of the Tape-Recordings where former President George H. W. Bush assigned his Attorney General, Richard Thornburg, to seize, and which the NRC said I made during the time I was in MA Federal Court for over 6 years. The Federal Subpoena said: " Stephen B. Comley (SR) is Conspiring to 'Topple the NRC' with Roger Fortuna, former Deputy Director of the NRC Office of Investigations, and if Comley
does not give up these Tape-recordings he has made of conversations of high officials in Washington, he could be jeopardizing the safety of the American People and the Security of U.S Nuclear Plants across the country".
As you know, Mr. Bower, you and many others at the NRC are aware, WTP's informants and I found we could trust and work with the first NRC IG, David Williams during his watch over wrongdoings by Victor Stello and others who were covering up safety concerns. Your office, through correspondence to Mr. Bell, has confirmed I have admitted to having these tape-recordings. I am wondering why Mr. Bell hasn't contacted WTP yet? You and many others at the NRC know MA AG's Legal Team has a copy of a Transcript of one of WTP's NRC informants. This also is stated in one of my published guest columns (attached). MA AG's 4 member Legal Team which Maura Healey, herself, assembled was to investigate WTP's concerns of Seabrook Station and Cover-ups of other safety concerns by the NRC. This 4 member Legal Team included her Chief of Staff, Mike Firestone, who asked me to attend a meeting which was held in the MA AG's Office on October 18, 2017. During this meeting, we discussed many topics. WTP also provided lots of documentation, including the July 4, 2014, letter with enclosures, to Mr. Dentel. Also at this meeting, I elected to give the Legal Team the names of WTP's brave individuals, with their permission, connected to the GAG ORDERS.
In addition, because of past threats on my family and a recent one on me, I gave Maura Healey's Chief of Staff, Mike Firestone, a copy of a Transcript of a conversation I had with an NRC informant, but with the understanding this transcript would not be released unless WTP gives the MA AG Office permission. This Transcript expresses this NRC informant's disappointment that Edward Markey chose not to pursue some nuclear safety matters given to him. Part of this conversation states: "Markey knows it is dirty, he believes it but evidently he is tired, bored or whatever and he is dilettante. I'll be candid with you. He is kind of guy, he was playing Chernobyl for a while, so he is bored with other stuff. I hear he wants to get off that committee. You know, it is not sexy enough for him, he wants to try something else next year so he runs and gets re-elected".
Other comments I made to your Assistant during our conversation, August 31, 2018, included Rudolph Giuliani's involvement in the Cover-up by Victor Stello and others at the NRC of the Counterfeit Substandard Nuclear Parts still built and present in most is not all U.S. Nuclear Plants including Seabrook Station. Mr. Giuliani's participation (See NYT's article attached) took place in early 1988. Sixty Minutes reporter Marty Bergman who, after contacting WTP, convinced Mr. Giuliani to meet with WTP and our informants connected to the Bogus Nuclear Parts National Scandal. As WTP was told, Giuliani was tired of being the U.S. Attorney in New York, and wanted to make a big splash just before leaving the U.S. Attorney's Office so he could then get a leg up on his wish to become Mayor of NY. I mentioned to your Assistant, also, WTP has tape-recordings of Mr. Giuliani's involvement during the time when he was NY's U.S. Attorney and had jurisdiction over the Indian Point Nuclear Plant, who at that time, had
and presently has Substandard Nuclear Components built in the plant.
I also, during my conversation with your Assistant on 8-31-2018, provided information about the Counterfeit Substandard Nuclear Parts Cover-up to then-Presidential Candidates Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Dr. Ben Carson which can be viewed on 4 - 1 minute videos clicking the Icon down on the first page to VIEW WORK of my Web site: www.stephencomleysr.com.
All three said on video they would get back to WTP regarding this information I mentioned to them about nuclear safety matters. To date none of the three contacted WTP or me again.
Just for the record, it was Trump's former Washington Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski, after talking with me on the phone, who set up an appointment with the Trump's Manager in Manchester, NH, Mathew Ciepiowski, to look into WTP's information of Bogus Parts involving Seabrook Station. Obviously Mr. Lewandowsky recognized that the Seabrook Nuclear Plant was located in the First Primary State of NH. Mr. Ciepiowski went through WTP's documentation that included my letter of July 4, 2014, with enclosures to then-NRC Chief of Reactor Projects, Glenn Dentel. Two of these enclosures were two letters.
One was from then-NRC IG David Williams's Office to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
(attached) to investigate whether President Reagan ignored evidence I provided about the use of Counterfeit Substandard Parts throughout the Nuclear industry. Second letter (attached) was written by former Chief of Staff, Leon Panetta, to the Department of Justice (DOJ): " I am sorry to hear that you have not yet received a letter from the DOJ regarding your concerns with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Once again, I have forwarded your fax to the DOJ". As a result of these letters and other information which were never investigated, Mr. Ciepiowski stated: "Trump must meet with you so he can address these issues". Mr.
Ciepiowski then offered to give me tickets to any upcoming fundraisers. The first one was at the Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, NH, where I had one of two opportunities to speak with Trump. The second time was at Rochester, NH, High School.
Both of my opportunities to talk with Mr. Trump were captured on video but neither the local or National Media elected to print or give TV coverage, as a result of my confrontations with Trump. Being an investigative reporter now for over 33 years, I try to read our creed routinely, Part of the Journalist's Creed states: " I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true. I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of lesser service than the public service is a betrayal of this trust. I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible".
Mr. Bower, We The People continues to talk with responsible past and present informants within the NRC and Nuclear Industries. Because of the way your letter of May 10, 2018, (attached) was written with enclosures (attached) by you and former NRC Nuclear and
Environmental Engineer, Richard Barkley, I believe you too, are a person who also wants to provide the American People the truth about Cover-ups by the NRC of unsafe conditions at U.S. Nuclear Plants. WTP's Whistleblowers and I certainly are in hopes this information in this message with these attachments will prevent any misunderstanding in communications you or anyone else may have, including President Trump's appointee, Chairwoman Kristine L.
Svinicki. WTP requests and wants to be assured you have received WTP's letter of September 11, 2018, with enclosures in order for the NRC to make this information a public record which reflects WTP's issues exactly as they are communicated to you and anyone within the NRC, or elsewhere. Never can tell, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who does know of me, just maybe might be interested in investigating more issues of obstruction of justice involving Mr. Trump, the FBI, DOJ and the NRC.
If you need further clarification or comments from me, do not hesitate to contact We The People.
Respectfully submitted, Stephen B. Comley Sr.,
Founder of We The People and a 2020 Republican Candidate for President of the United States.
