c. /'f MAY 9 1979 OFFIC2 CF THE CH AI R*.1 A*J The Honorable Gary Hart, Chairman Subcommittee on Nuclear Regulation Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, D. C. 20510

Dear Mr. Chairman:

At Thursday's markup of S. 562, the NRC authorization bill for FY 1980, the Subcommittee did not include three of the four legislative proposals recommended by the Commission.

These were the recommendations for limited notational voting, additional protection for certain safeguards information and statutory status for the Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement.

Two of these proposals were made a year ago but were not acted upon because there had not been an opportunity for full discussion in a public forum.

Although I addressed these recommendations in my prepared remarks, they were not items which were given much attention at our authorization hearings this year.

I would be happy to state the case for these proposals in person before the Subcomittee and to answer any questions which you or other members of the Subconnittee may have if you feel that would be helpful in establishing a full record on these proposals.

The Comission feels that they are of sufficient importance to merit your further consideration.

Accordingly, I would rost appreciate an opportunity to meet with Senator Simpson and yourself to discuss how best we might proceed.

Sincerely,f s

. W E M
