Harold R. Denton,
. Your comments on what you ought reasonably provide in order to keep the Congress " fully and currently informed":
The major impediment to keeping the Congress " fully and currently informed" is knowing what the Congress would -
like to receive. The following two suggestions might improve communications:
a) Develop guidance for the staff through consul-tation with Congressional committee staffs for the types of non-routine information that should be sent to the Congress.
b) Set up Congressional fellowships so that NRC employees would work on the staffs of the major oversite committees for one year terms. This should improve communications between NRC and the Congress thus giving us an understanding of Congressional needs.
