Dear Cholman 'Jend rie :

_The Sierra Club is very concerned about the subject ratter of tke enclosed 1972 AEC meno betweed yourself and John O' Leary.

Toretker with recent disclosures by the "nion of Concerne? "ci-entists concernine nast statements by yourself on reactor safaty, it renres ts nn unfortunate nattern by the Chairnan of a rerzu-latory am.acy that surely does not instill public confidence.

k'e ara therefore nskinrr that you clarify this natter by resnon-dir~ to the folloutrr ouestions:

a) Did the unannounced inspection nentioned in naracraph 2

of the attacked nemo take nlace?

If so, provide the date and sord un a cony of the Inspection Report.

?

b) as a neus relenso submitted to the Buffalo Evenine I!ews?

If so, nrovide a cony.

c) Or, was a detailed renly submitted to the 'Tews ' letter columns?

If so, provide a cony.

0) Provide us furtker renos between Denuty Sect'etary O' Leary and otker nersons concerninr this mntter, in particuler, the resuonse by O' Leary back to yourself.

e) Ues the "staminr" of unannounced inspections and the is-suance of press releases on nelected parts an isolated instance of the AEC, now the "RC, or vas it established nolicy?

Ue thank you for respondin;- to these ouestions in a timely

faskion, cc: Dincells Cincerely yours,
'ottak LaFalce
