Dear Mr. Clarke:
This is in response to your letter dated March 9.1978 to Chairinan Hendrie.
i t.et me say at the outset that unfortunately the problem you raised is not unique to you.
I have had similar complaints from other licensed applicants. The delays you have experienced result in part from severe personnel problems in the Radioisotopes 1.icensing Branch and from a number of a61tnistrative deficiencies.
When the situation was first brought to my attention. I innediately asked that the problems be identified j
5 so that corrective action could be taken. Towards this end. I currently I
have two in-depth studies under way, one in the area of document control and the other in personnen. This problem has my undivided attention. I
=
can assure you that the situation will be corrected so that we can provide timely and affective review on license applications.
Phase I of one of the studies is already completed and the other study will be completed in two weeks.
However, rather than wait for the ccmpletion of i
these studies, we are currently taking certain interim corrective actions which will improve the situation.
I appreciate your bringing this to any attention and I regret that we have been rectiss in delaying review of your source and device designs.
I have instructed my staff to take imediate steps to review those items specified in your letter and to communicate with you as soon as possible.
Please contact me directly if you have any future problems.
For your ready reference I can be reached on A.C. 301-427-4063.
