Subject:
REC01MENDATIONS OF PRESIDENT'S CCM.MISSICN RmARDING ACRS N:TIVITIES
Dear Dr. Ahearne:
In response to Mr. Chilk's letter of November 9, 1979 requesting that the ACRS provide the Commission with its views and analysis of the role of the ACRS as contained in the recommendation of the President's Commission, 1Ne have the following corrments~
The ACRS agrees that its role should be strengthened. The Committee also agrees that it is important to maintain its independence. The Committee believes ho1Never that measµres taken to strengthen its role should not jeopardize that independence.
Although the Committee agrees with the intent of certain recommenda-tions of the President's Corranission which are meant to strengthen its role, it is not ready to endorse these recorrrnendations until it has had the opportunity to study alternatives 't<<lich might be more appropriate and effective.
The ACRS will give this matter early*attention so that its views can be formulated promptly.
2819 Max w. carbon Chairman
