The Cmmission (with Ccmnissioners Asselstine and Bernthal disagreeing) requests the following modifications to the text of the proposed rule:

- Delete the sentence "We sole function of these procedures is to protect NRC Information.", as it appears in the last paragraph on page 3 of the Statement of Considerations.

- Delete references to sanctions on employees in the discussion of the proposed rule in the statement of considerations (full paragraph on page 11), and the references to sanctions in the draft rule (part 0-Conduct of anployees, S2(b) and S3(c)).

You should make the indicated revisions and return the proposed rule for signature and publication in the Federal Register.

(EID) (SECY Suspense 5/17/85)

We Cmmission has further voted 3-2 (Cmmissioners Asselstine and Bernthal disagreeing) to disapprove for issuance at this time the draft SRM (Enclosure 2) on sanctions to be imposed on NRC and special Government employees who disclose certain categories of information not subject to the protection of a protective order.

A majority of the Cm missioners desire to consider the question of sanctions on NRC and special Government employees as a separate rulemaking item. The staff accordingly should provide a paper to the Rec'd Cf f. EDO 8511200255 851115 Data...137 U.)e.wame.
