Dear Sgt. flau:

As you may be aware, Mr. William M. Bjorenson of the Linn County Municipal Civil Defense was appointed to an Interorganizational Advisory Committee on Radiological Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness.

This Committee, with 4 members each from the flational Association of State Directors for Disaster Preparedness (recently renamed the flational Emergency flanagement Association), the U.S. Civil Defense Council, and the Conference of (State) Radiation Control Program Directors, operates under the aegis of this latter organization and is chaired by f1r. James L.

flontgomery of the Colorado Department of Health.

Since the Committee was formed, a little over two years ago, it has served as a useful sounding board and common forum for these three major national organizations to exchange points of view and to review and comment on proposed and ongoing Federal programs relating to radiological emergency planning and preparedness supportive of nuclear facilities and

'or transportation accidents involving radioactive material.

I would like to acknoviledge lir. Bjorenson's valuable participation on the Committee. Also I would like to thank you for allowing lir. Bjorenson to spend the time necessary to attend the meetings several times each year.

Sincerely, Robert G. Ryan, Direct'or Office of State Programs cc: William l1. Bjorenson, IA John D. Crandall, Director Office of Disaster Services, IA 1642 170 79122f00 h
