DearSr. Chairman:
- -fr )f '
~
1 A year ago, I advised you by letter that the Commi'ssion was consolid& ting its '
s investigative-functions in a new Office of Investigations, which would report directly to the Commission and 'which would be responsible. for investigating all allegations of wrongdoing by individuals or organizations other than NRC employees or contractors.
In my letter to you, dated June 10, 1982, I indicated that our plans essentially involved a restructuring and upgrading of on-going investigative activities and that the Comission believed its objectives could be met within existing NRC personnel levels for FY 1982, i.e. within a total staff limit of 38 positions distributed among both headquarters and field offices.
After a year of experience, we have concluded that an increase in our investigation staff is needed.
The number of allegations requiring NRC investigation is substantial and growing.
All of them need at least a screening investigation.
Our inability to complete investigations in a timely manner may result in a reduction in. the level of public safety, licensing delay or both.
Such delay is imminent in several complex cases before the Commission.
Therefore, we propose to reallocate.an additional eleven (11) full-time employee positions to the Office of Investigations for this purpose.
This proposed reprogramming action will come from within the overall personnel levels already provided for the NRC for FY 1983.
~
Your early and favorable consideration of this reprogramming ~ action is requested.
Sincerely, M

Dear Mr. Chairman:
Your letter of January 14, 1985 expressed concern about the continuing independence of the Office of Investigations (01).
Please be assured that the Commission has no desire to undermine the effectiveness or independence of 01.
Upgrading NRC's investigative capabilities to the very highest professional standards has been a priority for me as it has been for other members of the Commission.
Assuring their maintenance is a continuing commitment of the Commission, in consolidating agency investigative functions in 01 in June 1982, the Commission advised Congress that the new office would "for the time being" report directly to it.
In that the status rf 01 as an office reporting directly to the
- sense, Commission or indirectly through the Executive Director for Operations has beer a matter under continuing review.
The Commission has taken no final action on the issue and would be pleased to discuss it fully with the Committee at our next opportunity.

Dear Mr. Chairman:
I have been informed that the Commission may shift the Office of Investigations (OI) from its current position as a Com-mission level office to a position where it would report to the Executive Director for Operations (EDO).
I am troubled by the possibility of such a change.
Placing OI under the EDO would, it seems to me, place EDO managers in a situation where they would be called upon to make judgments on matters in which they had a pre-existing interest.
The change would, therefore, compromise OI's independence which I believe is crucial if OI is to do its job.
Accordingly, I recommend strongly that the Commission not rove OI from its current position within the NRC organization.
I would appreciate your being prepared to discuss this natter at the forthcoming hearing on the Commission's authorization for Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987 Thank you for your assistance.'

Dear Mr. Chairman:
I was troubled to learn that the Commission may change the status of the Office of Investigations (01).
OI presently reports directly to the Commission.
I am concerned that the proposal to make OI reportable to the Office of the Executive Director for Operations would compromise OI's independent position.
As you recall, OI was created in part because of significant deficiencies in NRC Staff investigations such as took place in the Hayward Tyler Pump Company case.
I hope and expect that the Commission will consult with the Congress prior to any further consideration of this matter.

Dear Mr. Chairman:
It has come to my attention that the Commission is consid-ering a proposal to bring the Office of Investigations (OI) under the auspices of the Office of the Executive Director of Operations.
OI currently reports directly to the Commission.
I am very concerned about the effect such a change would have on OI's independent status.
Consequently, I would request that the Commission consult fully with Congress prior to any further consideration of
