Dear Mr. chairman:
~
I have nc:ed recent news stories and press releases
.rclating to the establishment by the Nuclear Regulatory Cocoission of a spccial panel to hear chargas of " professional misconduct" against an attorney participating in a power plant
.11consing proceeding.
I am'also aware that the accused attorney has filed -a complaint against two staff members of the Cor. mission.
t 5
In view of the unprecedented nature of this proceeding, I
I request that I be advised of the basis of the allegations against
'all three partie,s.
I also ask that the Commission supply mo
.1 with a citation of its. statutory authority for establishing 8
'such a hearing panel and for independently procccding in the chcsen manner.
Furthermore, I request that you supply me with 1
the commission's statuto'ry authority for allocating Commission funds to retain a privato counsel to represent 'the accused staff in the proceeding.
I am also curior.ts 5.f the fact that. the Constission is paying for the staff's counsel implies that. the.. Commission has already l-dctormined that the ' accused were actinJ within the scope of their
{
t F.hority.
If this is the case, and the complaint against thent is subsequcntly proven, would this not impute guilt to the Cocimission?
If this is not the case and the complaint is found valid, does the Commission expect to be reimbursed by the two
-staf f ccmbers, and what is the prcsont understanding of these h
-two individuals regarding this. possibility?
J.?
As the Commission is paying to retain the staff's counsel, ti is 'th'at coun'sel repre'senting the' intere'st of ther commission or tho p
two staff members?
If the counsel's pritury loyalty is to the j.I percan pnying - the. foc, are the. ttco staff members being effectively L.
affordett the right to counsel?-
I would also like to know uho sicle'cted tho staf f's councal and if this attorney and his firm L
ha s ever or is now representing any other parties before the l
CM.=.ission or any of its Boards.

t she Ironorable Joneph d. Hendrie paqu 2 January 17, 1978 y-Press stories indicate that the Co: aission is presenting d
the case against the individual attorney but not against the g
two staff members.
If the Commission,has evidence relating to the 15 allegation, I would like to be advised as'to why the Cec.nission Q
does not have a' responsibility to affirmatively present such O
. evidence.
I also would like to be informed of the basis of the.
d critoria to be used by the panel in judging " professional f.
l{3 misconduct. "
Finally, I would like to be advised of the qualifications of the panel, how they were selected and any possible working relationship or experienece its members car
- hn'..e had with the two accused staff members.
I look forward to your early response.
With every good wish,
