4 JOHN H. ADAMS, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1.
I am the executive director of the Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. (NRDC), a cot-for-profit corpor-ation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of W the State of New York with its principal offices at 122 East 42nd Street, New York, New York and other offices in Washington, D.C.
and Palo Alto, Calj forni'a.
I have held the position of executive director for eight years and have full knowledge of NRDC's activities, including membershi.p and fund-raising matters.
2.
It has been and continues to be the policy of NRDC not to make available the names and addresses o:? its members and contributors.
3.
Due reason for this policy is the desir,e to protect our donors' expectations of privacy. Our memb.ers and contributors have always assumed, and w.
ave always agreed, that financial transactions between individuals and philanthropic organizations must remain fully confidential. This is especially important for organ-1::ations such as NRDC which frecuently assume advocacy roles in public policy deliberations.

A second reason for this policy is the potential
'1 adverse impact on NROC's financial stability which I i disclosure of information about marbers and contributors would have. Such disclosure might inhibit.further.
participation by currently active donors,' and could have a chilling effect on potential future support.

OCT 30 M P31 I, Kenneth E. Bossong, affirm and hereby say:
cp [
I am 28 years of age and reside at 1413 "K" Street, N.
shing 4
co 20005; my telephone number is 202-783-0452.
!9 I am the Director of the Citizens' Energy Project located at 1413 "K" St, NW Washington, D.C. 20005.
I have worked with the Citizens' Energy Project and its predec'hssor' organization the Center for Science in the Publ'c Interest since J
September 1973.
The Citizens' Energy Project is a non-profit (501 c-0 research organization conducting work in the areas of energy policy, environmental protection, and con-i sumer protection. A major research issue focused on by the Citizens' Energy Pro-l i
ject (hereinafter referred to as C.E.P.) has been the subject of civil liberties, j
nuclear power, and utilities. Since May 1976, the Citizens' Energy Project has been researching and documenting instances of vietations of the civil liberties of citizens who have been critics of' nuclear power. A report on this subject is n.ow being readied for publication.
Research to date has revealed repeated and multiple instances of files b,eing formed and kept by private utility companies, local police units, governmental agencies -- federal, state & local', and private firms & associations. The files have been compiled by the government agencies and utilities and other organiza-tions on citizen groups, individual citizers who have expressed opposition to nuclear power.
Such files have also been developed and maintained on nuclear researchers, nuclear workers, and-citizens living within the proximity af nuclear plants and other nuclear facilities.
Research to date has also given rise to strong speculation of wire-tapping of phones, break-ins into offices & private residences, and undercover infiltration of citizen groups opposing nuclear power.
C.E.P. has documented multiple instances
~.]
of. the. personal files of individual anti-nuclear activists being broken into and 1
.<C searched. We have documented instances of police informers ' infiltrating anti-
~ !
~
k
[
nuclear organizations and other groups suspected of being anti-nuclear for the
-purpose of gathering and relaying information to police units and. private organi-zations. 'We have documented instances of private associations p'inting " observers" at a variety of anti-nuclear gatherings in order to determine wh'o is present, what was said, and what actions the anti-nuclear groups are contemplating.
j
.,s Research to date has further documented that known anti-nuclear activists have been harassed through such tactics as late-night telephone calls, tailgating of their cars, photographing by police and other agents, and vandalism of their-property.
Research to date has revealed that many of the files kept by government agencies, utility companies, police units, and other priva'te organizations on anti-nuclear spokespe,rsons has included much inaccurate information.
ire:
Preliminary research suggests that Duke Power has been involved in several attempts to discredit anti-nuclear activists in that state.
Research to date'in--
dicates that Duke Power has sought to discredit several reporters who have written about the Perkins Nuclear Power Plant and other nuclear construction programs in North Carolina.
Preliminary research also indicates that Duke Power was involved in an effort.to discredit a Charlotte, NC anti-nuclear activist by contacting his employer and seeking his dismissal.
Preliminary research also indicates that other anti-nuclear activists.in North Carolina have been harassed when their anti-nuclear sentiments have been made public.
In one instance, a Wake Forest faculty member was apparently denied tenure because of.his anti-nuclear activism.
I swear that the facts contained herein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and. belief.
