October 25, 1979 OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY MEMORANDUM FOR:

Leonard Bickwit, Jr., Gen Counsel FROM:

Samuil J. Chilk, Secreta

SUBJECT:

STAFF REQUIREMENTS - DISC ION OF " FULL ACCESS" PROVISION OF COMMISSIO.1 PROCEDURES, 10:15 A.M., MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1979, COMMISSIONERS' CONFERENCE ROOM, DC 0FFICE (OPEN TO PUBLIC ATTENDANCE)

The Comission discussed the relationship between the " Full Access" provision of the Energy Reorganization Act and the Commission's open door policy.

The Commission requested that the General Counsel confer with the Commissioners 62 and draft amendatory language to the Commission's open door policy which M

would note that because the power and authority of the Commission to act W

is vested in the collegial Commission and because all Commissioners must have access to all information that effects the performance of their

~

duty, "open door" visitors should recognize that it is likely to be necessary that at least the substance of their difficulties be mada known to other Commissioners and that this may also include the identity of the employee raising the concern. This clarifying language should be accompanied by a background statement explaining the potential conflict of the " Full Access" provision and the open door policy.

This language and statement should be circulated to the Commission prior to dissemination.
