ON N0v. 30, 1979, IREQUESTEDDISCLOSUREOFCERTAINRECORDSOFYOURAGENCY UNDERTHEFREEDOMOFINFORMATIONACT. IHE REQUEST WAS DENIED, AS WAS AN APPEAL ON JAN. 20, 1980. THE REASONS GIVEN ME WERE THAT DISCLOSURE WOULD HAPPER AN UNG0 LNG INVESTIGATIONJ HOWEVER, THOSE REASONS ARE NO LONGER VALID.

A FEDERAL GRAND JURY IN SPRINGFIELD, ILL., HAS BEEN TERMINATED FOLLOWING THE INDICTENTS ON MARCH 26 0F COMMONWEALTH EDISON AND WO OF ITS OFFICERS.

AIDING IN THE WORK OF THE GRAND JURY WAS AN INVESTIGATION DOCUENT COMPILED BY THE NRC'S OFFICE OF INSPECTIONS AND ENFORCEMENT AND THE FBI. THE DOCUENT RELATES TO ALLEGATIONS OF THE SECURITY BREACHES AT THE QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.

THE INQUIRY WAS FINISHED ABO'uT JAN.19pM.

THE APPEAL WAS DENIED BY WILLIAM J. DIRCKS, ACTING EXECLKIVE DIRECTOR FOR OPERATIONS, ON FEB. 26 "BECAUSE ITS RELEASE WOULD INTERFERE WITH AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION."

THAT IS NO LONGER A VALID REASON TO WITHHOLD THE DOCUMENT. THEGRANDJURY HAS FINISHED ITS WORK, .ITS TERM HAS EXPIRED AND DOCUMENTS ARE RETURNED TO THEIR OWNERS.

IHERE IS NO REASONABLE GROUNDS FOR THE DOCUMENT TO REMAIN EXEFPT FROM DISCLOSURE.

I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT YOU DISCLOSE THE DOCUMENT, WHICH MAY BE USED IN PREPARATION OF NEWS STORIES FOR PUBLICATION. THE REPORTS ARE IDENTIFIED BY WO NUMBERS: #50-254 M /14 AND #50-265 M M 4.

I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU P PTLY.
