August 6, 1999 The Honorable James M. Inhofe, Chairman Subcommittee on Clean Air, Wetlands, Private Property and Nuclear Safety Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Mr. Chairman:
On April 23,1999, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received a letter from an individual seeking NRC support for proposed legislation which would have the effect of providing some tax relief to claimants who have received judgments and recovered amounts based on unlawful discrimination claims, including claims made under whistleblower protection provisions such as section 211 of the Energy Reorganization Act. The NRC is concerned with any disincentive to nuclear industry employees who would otherwise come forward to report health and safety concerns. Because the NRC's mandate necessarily gives it a limited perspective on such sweeping tax issues as this one, we are forwarding both the individual's letter and our response for your information and consideration.
Sincerely, i
Jm Dennis K. Rathbun, Director Office of Congressional Affairs
