%, '*...f April 27, 1967 CHAIRMAN Mr. Petar A. Bradford, President National Association of Regulatory Utility Comissioners Incorpurated Maine Public Utilities Comission 242 State Street State House Station 18 Augusta. ME 04333

Dear Mr. Bradford:

Thank you for your letter of Parch 16, 1967 discussing the NRC liaison to NARUC for the next two years.

As Comissioner Ec=yna Anderson has probably mentioned to you following our February 1987 meeting, I have agreed to serve on the NARUC Executive Committee, the Comittee on Electricity, and Subcommittees on Nuclear Waste Disposal and Nuclear Issues.

If my schedale permits, I would be pleased to attend the meetings in San Francisco during July 1987.

n addition, I have agreed to present rematis at the opening sessien of the Great Lakes Confereace of Public Utilities Comissioners at the Greenbrier on July 6,1987.

I look forward to working with NAPUC.

In the evert that I would be unable tu attend certain meetings, I will ask cne of my fellow Comissioners or Mr. Harold Denton, Director of our Office of G:vernrrental anc Public Affairs, to attend.

Sincerely, k

Lando W. Z t, J r.
