-t-SECY-84-394 CHAIRMAN PALLADIN0'S ADDITIONAL VIEWS:
In its bare essentials, the disagreement between the Commission majority and Commissioner Asselstine seems to be that the majority currently believes earthquakes need not be considered in emergency planning whereas Commissioner Asselstine believes that they should.
I have difficulty understanding why the opportunity to comment on the majority's proposal should be viewed as " meaningless," or " solely to circumvent the hearing process," but an opportunity to comment on some other proposal, such as a proposal to consider earthquakes, should not.
I would hope that the Commission's proposal will stimulate public comments, both pro and con, and I believe that the Commission has plainly indicated its desire to obtain and consider all pertinent comments and facts.
