Title 18 U.S.C. 641 concerns the knowing conversion of something of value belonging to the U.S. Government for one's personal use.
On October.11, 1985, Peter M. SEMEL, Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, was presented with the #icts of personal use of the FTS in violation of 18 USC 641. SEMEL acclined prosecution of this case in favor of administrative remedies available to the NRC.

a STATEMENT OF I, .
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), make the following statement tcrMark E. Resner and Hollis Bowers, who have identified themselves as an Investigator and Assistant to the Director, respectively, assigned to the Office of Inspector and Auditor, NRC. Mr. Resner has advised of the allegation against concerning use of the Federal Telephone System (FTS) for personal business. Furthermore, that alleged actions in that regard are a violation of Federal Law 18 USC 641 (conversion of Government property for personal use), and constitute employee misconduct. Mr. Resner has also advised me that I have a right to remain silent if my answers may tend to incriminate me. He has also advised me that I have a right to be represented by an attorney. Any answer or information I provide may be used against me in '
any subsequent administrative or criminal proceeding should it occur. Finally, he advised me that if I choose not to talk to him, which is my right, no adverse action may be taken against me for my mere refusal to answer questions. However, my silence can be considered in an administrative proceeding for its evidentiary value that is warranted by the facts surrounding my case. Having been advised of my rights and understanding them, I provide this information of my own volition without promise of reward, inducement, or coercion.
I began employment with the NRC on ,
The promotions and within grade increases since that time are as follows:
Since I began employment with the NRC, I have used the FTS for personal telephone calls which I have made to and other people. I am aware that this is an abuse of the FTS. Until approximately September 1983, I used the FTS infrequently for these calls. I cannot recall how many calls I made or the duration of the calls, but I will characterizg use pf the FTS for that purpose as infrequent. However, approximately _ ,- A 1983 0l%.. I and my telephone calls to them using the E.TS increased. I telephoned them at least three times per week at which is a telephone listed to their residence in The duration of each telephone call varied from 15 to 20 minutes and I estimate the average duration of the calls to be 15 minutes. I made these telephone calls from telephone number which is assigned to a phone at my desk in Jf the in Bethesda, Maryland.

Dear Tom:
As ycu requested, I am enclosing copies of AT&T's Long Distance Tariffs dating back to April,1982.

Based upon the numbers you provided, I have developed the mileage and an exaznple for day and evening rates from Tarif f 263, Effective Date: May 25. 1984 To derive the evening rates, you discount both the initial minute and each additionti minute by 40%. The following example uses a five minute call. All mileage was developed using the ra te center for 301-492.
