In this regard, since foreign policy considerations were the i

basis for NRC's original classification of the docuiTent, we asked for State's views (Enclosure 2) regarding the appro-priateness of downgrading or declassifying, in whole or in part, the Morgan Report itself or any of. the related documents.

believe that the documnts were properly classified " Secret" and should continue to hold that classification.

Discussion With regard to advising Congressman Ottinger on the outcome JContinued):

of our reexamination of this classification matter, which NRC promised to do in the text of its inserts to the record for the March 3,1982 authorization hearing of the Sub-committee on Energy Conservation and Power, House Comittee on Energy and Comerce (Enclosure 3), the staff believes it would be premature to go forth with a response at this time, in light of the pending lawsuit by the Nuclear Club.

Instead, the staff plans to prepare a response to Congressman Ottinger following a court decision on the matter.
