CC March 15,1979
%,.+*...f OFFICE OF THE CH AI RM AN The Honorable William Donald Schaefer Mayor of Baltimore 250 City Hall Baltimore, Maryland 21202
Dear Mayor Schaefer:
I have received your letter of January 31, 1979 expressing interest in the proposed consolidation of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and recommending consideration of Baltimore City as the location for our consolidation.
We have been seeking a solution to our consolidation and location problems, together with the General Services Administration (GSA) and appropriate committees of the Congress since shortly after the NRC was formed in January 1975. Considerable progress has oeen made in the effort to consolidate NRC's nine widely dispersed headquarters office locations into a single site.
In October 1977, the House Comittee on Public Works and Transportation approved a GSA report proposing that the NRC be housed at a suitable site in an urban renewal area in downtown Washington. This House Committee approved a resolution to the effect that consolidation should be in a single building pursuant to a lease construction contract.
As I have testified before Senator Moynihan's Subcommittee on Public Suildings and Grounds of the Senate Comnittee on Environment and Public Works, I am convinced from my experience as Chairman of the NRC that the agency will operate most efficiently and effectively from a location in downtown Washington.
Both of my predecessor Chairmen came to the same conclusion as a result of their experience.
It is the position of the Commission that the ongoing efforts to consolidate the agency's offices and activities in the Washington area will eliminate the expensive and encumbering dispersion of agency sites in a manner which is in the best interest of the government.

The Honorable William Donald Schaefer I am appreciative of your enthusiastic letter.
I wish you and Baltimore City a most successful year.
p Sincerely, t
