CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
I would like to anhoutrce for the edification of the assembled audience, that since we didn't get to a couple of affirmation items and to a discussion hopefully, a brief discussion -- on another item this morning, I am going to start with those, so that what on the Commission's schedule, the revised schedule for Thursday, October 4th, were items two and three in the morning session now become one and two in the afternoon session.
3 Let's see, there is one affirmation item which we can take up, which I believe we are sufficiently well agreed upon.
So we can simply do it.
MR. HOYLE:
That would be an add-on i tern.
I would ask you to call for an add-on to that.
CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
I would ask my colleagues to join me in voting to hold a short notice meeting to deal with the affirmation of approval under section l45Cb) for certain arrangements connected with the employment of a consultant to Commissioner Gilinsky.
All in favor?
(Chorus of ayes.)
CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
So ordered.
John, will you please lead us in the reading of the affirmation?*

This is SECY paper 79-558.
And it recommends approval under section 145(b) of the Atomic Energy Act.
The employment of Paul Langer as a consultant to Commissioner Gilinsky, and for -access to national security information.
I have indication of affirmative votes from all of your offices, and Commissioner Kennedy as well.
CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
Will you please affirm your votes by voting aye.
(Chorus of ayes.)
CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
So ordered.
MR. HOYLE:
I could perhaps begln describing number three item on this morning's calendar.
CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
Why don't you do that?
MR. HOYLE:
It is SECY-79-480.
It is an appeal under the Freedom of Information Act by Mr. Troy Connor of the denial of certain documents withheld from him earlier.
There are 11 documents involved.
The commissioners have indicated votes in the following manner:
the General Counsel had indicated release now of four of the JI documents.
Three of you have agreed to that recommendation.
Two commissioners, Gilinsky and Bradford, would favor releasing additional documents.
Commissioner Gilinsky, all ll with the exception of some non-factual information in one of them.
Commissioner Bradford would 4

Commissioner Kennedy is one of those who has i'ndicated a vote favoring release of only four.
And therefore, I believe he should be in the room as ws affirm the votes.
CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
I hope so, or I may lose it.
Is there a statute of time on the thing?
MR. HOYLE:
If there were a statute of time --

You are just in time to affirm your vote on 79-480.

MR. HOYLE:
It is the FOIA appeal of Troy Conner.
CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
1 will ask us all to affirm our (Chorus of ayes.)
MR. HOYLE:
The letter to Mr. Connor will point out the positions of the Commissioners Gilinsky and Bradford.
CHAIRMAN HENDRIE:
Yes.
That brings us to the paper 79~479.
COMMISSIONER KENNEDY:
Since the matter to release is a matter of a Commission decision, is it appropriata to normally, then, confer or convey to each of the parties the individual views of each commissioner on the matter?
Is that the normal course of events?
MR. B ICKWI T:
I don t' know what the Commission-' s practice has been, normally.
