At the conclusion of the Executive Ses.sion, the Subcomittee will hear presentations by and hold discussions with representatives of the NRC Staff, and their consultants, pertinent to the sbove topics.

'Ihe Subcomittee will be considering portions of the tudget and program of the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research. Since the NRC budget proposals are now part of the Mesident's budget--not yet submitted to Congress-public disclosure of budgetary information is not permitted. See 04B Circular #A-10.

'Ihe ACRS, however, is required by Section 5 of the 1978 NRC Authorization Act to review the NRC research program and tudget and report the results of the review to Congress.

In order to perform this review, the ACRS must be able to engage in frank discussion with members of the NRC Staff. For the reason just stated, a discussion would not be possible if held in public session.

I have determined, therefore, that it is necessary to close portions of this meeting to prevent frustration of this aspect of the ACBS' statutory responsibilities, in accordance with Exemption 9(b) to the Government in the Sunshine Act (552b(c) (9) (B)).

Further information regarding topics to be discussed, whether the meet-ing has been cancelled or rescheduled, the Chairman's ruling on requests for the cpportunity to present oral statements and the time allotted therefore can be obtained by a prepaid telephone call to the Designated Federal E=ployee for this meeting, Dr. Ric'urd P. Savio (telephone 202/634-3267) between 8:15 a.m.

and 5:00 p.m., EST.
