Dear Mr. Pickeiing:

On August'15,1979, Mr. Shea sent the enclosed letter to Mr. fiosen:o requesting Executive Branch views on the impact of recent changes in the Indian government leadership on earlier Executive Branch analyses con-cerning the Tarapur fuel export license application.
As that letter indicated we would, we have deferred further consideration of this application pending a response to that letter.
Now that the elections in India are over, we would appreciate your response at the earliest practicable time in order that the Commission can fulfill its statutory responsibilities on this license application.
Sincerely, John F. Ahearne
