Dear Mr. Hendrie,

Recently you received a letter from Congressman Toby Moffett, h_...

chairnan of the Environment, Encrgy, and Natural Resources Sub-  :: __ _ ,

committee of the Committee on Government Operations, concerning 56 construction problems at the Marble Hill nuclear power plant, e-which is in my district. " - -

Mr. Moffett urged to you in his letter that the final de- M cision on allowing construction to resume at the Marble Hill ... . r r cite be made by the NRC Commissioners. I strongly support this recommendation. .._..

In the past several months I have been watching closely ==

and with a great deal of concern, the situation at Marble Hill. 5=

Problems in construction and the c,uality assurance program at ' '.. I the cite which eventually caused the NRC to order a halt to all safety-related construction are serious matters. During .'--MiK

the recent hearings on Marble Hill held by Mr. Moffett's sub- =.=EEE comnittee, it oecame apparent that cart of the problen that - aE .

caused this situation was that all inatters being handled by Puolic Service Indian.: and the NRC were handled privately, " " = =

cuietly, within the bureaucracy. No one was accountable and ... d-nothing was done in an open enough manner to allow full public E scrutiny,. =-
