orriCE or THE November 1, 1985 CHAIRMAN The Honorable George R. Ariyoshi Governor of Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
Dear Governor Ariyoshi:
In 1976, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission adopted a recommendation suggested by State organizations, including the National Governors' Association, that we request each State to appoint a single person to act as a liaison officer to NRC to improve Federal / State cooperation.
I am writing to solicit Hawaii's continued participation in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) State liaison program.
In addition to maintaining close working ties with a number of State agencies on specific issues, the NRC requests Governors to appoint a person to serve as liaison to the NRC on broad matters of mutual interest. This person, who would be identified as the Hawaii State Liaison Officer, can be someone from your staff or an agency of State government. Most importantly, the person should be someone who can communicate effectively with the Governor's office and a spectrum of State agencies involved in nuclear issues.
Our State Liaison Officer program is now nearly 10 years old. We and the States have come to rely on it and appreciate its benefits when matters of importance require the NRC to work closely with State governments.
You previously appointed to this liaison position Mr. Melvin K. Koizumi, Deputy Director for Environmental Health in the Hawaii Department of Health.
I understand that Mr. Koizumi has recently resigned from the Hawaii Department of Health.
I hope you will appoint a new individual to succeed Mr. Koizumi as the Hawaii State Liaison Officer. We will endeavor to keep you informed of major NRC programs and activities through your appointee.
At the same time, i
we will maintain our ties to those State agencie with whom we have l
established relationships fnr specific issues.
If you have any questions or wish additional information, your staff may wish to contact G. Wayne Kerr, Director of our Office of State Programs, (301)492-8170.
Thank you for your cooperation on this matter. We look forward to a continued excellent working relationship with the State of Hawaii.
Sincerely, 8511200067 851101
