FDR RESPGEE 10 SJFRIJC

- COLNIY MyrIGt 10 CDfEL DISODVERY Suffolk County on September 19, 1983 filed a motion to empel discovery. Speci-fically, the County sought the production of three docunents or series of docu-ments 1/. As to these three documents, En las agreed to produce and has prt>

vided to the County the memrands frm Fmnk Petrone, Regioral Director to Louis O. Giuffrida and Jeffrry Bmgg. Discussions with the County have indi-cated that they will also seek to cmpel the production of five additional docu-ments 2/. In order to save the Board time we have decided to address all seven of these docunents at this time.

Two of the documents specifically requested herein involve drafts of letters that were sent by the Federal Daergency Nmganent Agency to the Nucler Regulatory Carnission in response to specific requests by the NRC. Copies of these letters were previously provided to all parties. It is evident to all

- parties clut m%'s policy and position is clearly enunciated in those letters as acimowledged by Suffolk County "these documents set forth FDR's position t

...". The dmfts contain the thoughts and opinions of staff. The other five

! doctsoents contain opinions of staff as well as proposed policy alternatives for the consideration of senior staff. (see Giuffrida affickvit).

The Federal Bsergency thmgenent Agency (LWR) by its Director, Imis O.

Giuffrida, asserts that the doctznents sought are subject to the provisions of executive privilege.

An agency has the right to seek its om counsel and to freely discuss its policy relative to a response to another agency without kving those discussions emnined before a hering conoucted by that other agency.

If it is not the intent of this hearing Bmrd to review each and every policy deliberation of En as well as staff opinions then it is obvious tnt this line of discovery will not lead to admissible evidence.

he privilege appinst disclosure of intragovemmenal doctsnents containing advisory opinion acommestions, nd deliberations is part of 4. broader executive privilege recognized by courts. De purpose of the privilege is to ensure that the decision makers in Epverment are provided with candid and forte advice.

U.S. v. Capitol Serv. Inc.

89 F.R.D. 578, 582-583 Rere is a public policy involved in this claim of privilege for this advisory opinion the policy of open, frank discussion between subortiimte and chief concerning administrative action.

Maiser Altsnirm & Ch4snical Corp v. U.S.

157 FS 946 he purpose of the privilege for predecisional deliberations is to insure that a decision sker will receive the unbspeded advice of his assocfstes. The theory is that if advice is revealed, associates any be reluctant to be candid ami frank. It follows that doctanents shielded by executive privilege reunin privileged even after the decision to which they pertain may have been effected, since disclosure at any time could inhibit the free flow of advice, including amlysis, reports and expression of opinion within the egency.

Federal Open thrht Canunittee v. Herrill 443 U.S. 340, 359-360 Be issue is a greater one than just diether Suffolk County shall have access to these seven doctraents. The question raises for the employees of this agency l

l Wiether they can freely express their opinions, provide advice and participate in deliberations without fear that these expressions of opinion will become ; art of the public dcrain. It is of eqtal or even greater concern to those individuals in responsible decision making positions that they will receive the full broad range of possible alterrative thought available to them. If every time a subordiste expressed an opinion, wrote a manomndtsa, drafted a letter he knew that these doctsnents would be subject to public scrutiny he my determine not en take such actions. The chilling effect of such a position is smtenable.

The deleteriouc impact of such a chilling effect us recognized by Consnissioners Ahern and Roberts in the matter of Indian Point.

We understand the concern of the judges on thia Board that all relevant ruterial be before the panel.

3 We agree, of course, that the deposition discovery mies are to be accordeu a brtud and libeml treacnent. The deposition-discovery process serves to advance the stage at which disclosure can be campelled and thereby serves to reduce the possibility of surprise. But in resprd to these two documents there is no surprise, as the agency has clarly stated its position in the two letters that were formrded to the NRC and which have been provided to all the parties to this proceeding while the additional five doctanents contain the opinions and counsel of staff to senior policy nakers.

Discovery. like all patters of procedure, has vitimate and necessary boundaries.

As rule 26(b) provides, limitations crane into existence den the inquiry touches upon the irrelevant or encrunches upon the recognized demains of privilege.

The cases tint do argue for compelling disclosure of intra-governmental monomem rests on an examination of dether the production of rSe contested doctz::ent would be injurious to the consultative functions of government that the Therefore, only memoranda or parts of privilege of nondisclosure protects.

menoranda consisting of ccupiled factual naterial. contained in deliberative neoranch and septable from its context would generally be available for discovery by priwte parties.

The dsand for these docunents seeks to lay bare the discussion and methods of rassenind of public officials. Nothing is alleged by the County to suggest any need for production of the doctnents to establish facts.

It cannot be "all ccanunications to the had of deprenant are to be prnduced and made public whenever a suitor in a Court of justice thinks that his case requires such production." Beatson v. Skene 5 H. & NM.Exch. Rep., at 8514 lbore's Fedeml Practice 1175. Wliing v. Canet' Qarriers, D.C. 3 F.R.D 442; United Wiling v. Ricinond Schrew Anchor Co. , D.C. , 4 F.R.D. 765, 269; States v. Kohler Co. , D.C. , 9 F.R.D 289, 291; Pacific-Adantic S.S. Co. v.

It is necessary therefore to consider the circunstances around the denand for this docunent in order to determine 4 ether or not its production is injurious to the consultative functions of goverwnent that the privilege of non-disclosure protects.

Ihe Govemnent's present motion is hotly contested, but implicit in the l clairents' position is the realization trut production saast be restricted to p mterials "not privileged". All parties wdze, too, that privilege for this 1 pur;nse exists or not according to couman acceptations in the l it would be in the nortaal trial context.

l All that needs to be decided, is that, as docunents integal to an appropriate exercise of the executive's decinforal and policyamaking functions, they are l trame fmn the disclosure the claimants seek.

" Executive privilege is a phrase of release frtsn requirunenta cannon to private citizens or crpnizations" 3/ - an exenption essential to discharge of highly important executive responsThilities. Wile it is agreed that the privilege extends to all military and diplomatic secrets, its recognition is not confitwd of claims to data qtalifying as such. Watever its boune ries as to other obtains not involving state cecrets, it is well established that tim privi with respects to intm-govemnental doctsoents reflecting advisory opinions, reconsnentations and deliberations caprising ynre of a process by ditch govermental decisions and policies are focaulated.

It is evident that the Agency, to function adeqtately, must depend heavily upon candid erhanges of ideas, not only among its own staff but also particularly because of the institutional ruture of its decisions, with other agencias dm interests are involved.

De judiciary, the courts declare, is not authorized "to probe the mental pro-cesses" of an executive or administative officer.

Mut are retained are inern-goverrstent teemoranda and interdepartamental comunications camposed wholly of opinions, recasnenettions and deliberations relating to legal and other deterrnirntions. There is an obvious distinction, in terns of necessity for inspection, between doctanents of this charmeter and those which contain facts.12 h basic fallacy in the clainant's approach results from the fact that they endeavor to exploit what they consider to be weaknessess in the Goverrssent's case without naking any real' esse of their own. At best, the only position they can sustain is that, notwithstandig the strong showing nede by the Goverrmwnt,

' there remins a speculative possibility that something to dich they nay legiti-untely be entitled is withheld. It is not, however, incunbent upon the govern-ment to negate all the possible use: production of the retained docunents niight serve; the requirement is that the claimnts ske a showing of necessity l

sufficient to outweigh the adverse effects the production would engender.13 Disclosures would only resuit in an invasion of important interests, causing dire public consequences without any apparent discovery benefit to the claimants.

The clainnnts argue strenously that the documents in questions should be submit-ted to the Court with a view to its detenninistion through in camera inspection as to whether their n-muction should be compelled. The Government, with equal vigor, contends that such a procedure w; raid in the circunstances be unnecessary l

and improper, and urges that the privilege be sustained without further ado.

7-As Reynolds holds, a court acy not properly require an in osmen inspection as a matter of course before accepting a claim of executive privilege. And neither Reyrulds nor succeeding decisions can be read to support a contention time such an examination is to follow autanatically in cases dure no military or diplo-matic secrets are involved. On the contary, they make it clasr that an in camem examination should be afforded only eere a suitable occasion therefer sufficiently appears.14

)

In camem inspection in executive privilege cases is appropriate where it appears with reasonable chrity that the party seeking production is entitled to access to some of the materials demanded. Daunination in this of situation enables the separation of eat should be disclosed from Wat d be revealed.

Again, it may be that the klance betwen competing needs for confidentiality and disclosure cannot be nade without analysis of the disputed data.15 Here the inspection enables the weighing to be done in the priwcy of the judge's chambers. In each situation, however, a need actual or potential, for production adequately appers, and the examination affords the means for fulfilling that need.

In camera inspections of doctsnenta claimed under this privilege sindd be a last resort U.S. v. Reynolds 345 U.S. 8-11 U.S. v. Nixon 418 U.S. 714-15 We recognize, that klanced againac this, is the Board's own duty to fulfill its own obligation. We have therefore provided these doctsnents in a sealed envelope to the Beard, it will be their detarmirution if the facts call for in camera inspection.

' That no such occasion is presented in this esse is amply denonstated, without plovtng old ground, by brief reference to previous discussion. The claisanta have not shown that they are or could be entitled to the documents the Government still retains. 'Ihe Goverinent, on the other hand, has ade a substintial showing that everything that is withheld falls well within the scope and protection of the privilege, and it autisfactorily appears that the balance on disclosure or secrecy is decidedly in its favor. It is clear, too, that the claimsnt's projected investigstion into the Goverrsnant's decisional and deliberative processes is legally impermissible.
