Dear Mr. Devine:

Thank you for your letter of January 22, 1986 recognizing the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's role in United States support for the International i

Atomic Energy Agency's safeguards activities and expressing your hope for

+

i continued and increasing NRC participation in these support activ1Mes. We appreciate the importance of U.S. support for the IAEA and its safeguards j

system and NRC will continue to. do all that we can to assist in U.S.

Government activities directed toward such support.

i

l I must state, however, that we are facing severe budget constraints over the next year. Already, we have had to terminate planned contract support on an IAEA safeguards-related task identified in the Action Plan Working Group.

Nevertheless, we will continue to support all necessary travel related to implementation of the U.S./IAEA Agreement, as we recognize the essential and I

unique role of NRC in this activity. Additionally, we will support, to the j

extent possible, foreign travel in connection with NRC's participation in the Technical Support Coordinating Connittee (TSCC), the bilateral discussions which the U.S. holds with other countries, and other occasional activities where NRC technical expertise is relevant.

We appreciate your endorsement of NRC's continued involvement in activities in support of IAEA safeguards. Your expression of support will certainly facilitate our efforts to provide effective and reliable participation in U.S.

Government efforts in this area.

Sincerely, orisinal sisned kr Victor Stelle Victor Stello, Jr.
