In mcent correspondence with your Editor, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Samuel R. Pierce, Jr., questions the " desirability of additional Federal involvement and support for... conservation and... solar energy."
If solar and conservation don't need Federal help, the. why, after 40~ years of hevy military and civilian subsidies (nearly $40 billion, says the DOE Bowring Report) does nuclear?
Since the Arab oil embargo, Americans have slowly begun that shift in public opinion that precedes any major societal change. Tne Reagan Administration's reversal in oriorities comes at that very moment when " thinking about" the transition to renewables is aboutto become "doing something about it."
The loss of the programs destined to be cut may kill the opportunity to move the nation onto the " soft energy path" entirely.
Sources : Solar Lobby and Environmental Policy Center Alerts, April,1981 Congress Acting on Deadly Licensing Riders to NRC Supolemental Acoropriations Bill As ECNP News goes to 'pmss, the " Congressional House Appropriations Comittee has passed riders that would require citizen intervenors to show cause with " affidavits of fact" before their contentions would be admitted in an NRC license proceeding.
Equally ominous for public safety is a rider that would prevent anyone except fonnal parties from raising issues in a proceeding'(that's a regulatory change that NRC has also proposed; see March ECNP News).
Even the Licensing Board composed of supposedly knowledgeable experts would be prevented from examining safety and environmental issues that might have been " overlooked" by the NRC Staff or a utility.
A third broad rider would prevent examination at an operating license stage of changes in the financial condition of a utility or any other issues previously considered in con-struction permit hearings. These riders had been added in a closed session of the Subconmi ttee.
They are tantamount to excluding citizen participation in reactor licensing.
They go to the full house this week.

Following NRC's decision that Three Mile Island Ur.it 1 will not be returned to full service until-the -Restart hearings are finished, ASLB Chairman Ivan Smith cranked up the pace in April, going to 5 and 6-day weeks.
Although NRC and Met Ed have plenty of attorneys and witnesses to bear the accelerated burden,1ntervenors do not. The pueling schedule forced the Union of Concerned Scientists to withdraw from daily narticipation and drop contentions months ago.
Gail Bradford cf A.N.G.R.Y. (and an ECNP Board member) has-led cross-examination on the 100+ evacuation contentions.
l Dr. Bruce Molholt, a geneticist with the Public Interest Law Center of Philadel-phia, submitted testirrony on ECNP's contentions pertaining to fetal sensitivity to radioactive Iodine-131 and on inadequacies of monitoring to register the full exposure the public would receive during the early stages of an accident, before the EPA's Pro-tective Acti'on Guideline level would be reached.
At Met Ed's insistence, the Licensing Board struck those portions of Dr. Molholt's testimony that dealt with radiation l
synergisms in causing somatic (e.g., cancers) and genetic effects.
The Board also
, struck his testimony on the cumulative impacts of doses received during the TMI-2 accident and on studies revealing radioactive iodine uptake in the thyroids of field rodents near TMI.
Molholt had shown that animal thyroids are a much more sensitive monitor than cow's milk (used by the Comonwealth).
The Board deleted those portions as irmlevant and unreliable.
l In perhaps the most moving testimony to date, TM.I area farmers Paul Lytle, Vance
{ and Jeremy Fischer described the losses they incatgCad,'during the,TMI accidenpC i showed that the State"5TgricuTturrr emergency msponse Tlins are totally ] un
{For a brief moment, Truth glowed brilliantly in the NRC hearing room.
