FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JANUARY 23, 1975
OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, D. C.
REMARKS OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
AT THE SWEARING-IN CEREMONY,
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONERS,
JOINT COMMITTEE HEARING ROOM
S-407, THE CAPITOL
WASHINGTON, D. C.
No task before us has a higher priority than to assure that we
have an adequate and economical supply of energy. On our success in
that effort will depend our future security and well-being. The
President has called for an all-out effort to develop and make use
of all available energy sources. Nuclear energy has the demonstrated
potential to make a vital contribution in these efforts.
To realize that potential, however, we must be able to deal
effectively with the safety and security aspects of nuclear energy
through a sound regulatory process. And if the regulatory process
is to be effective, both the public and regulated industry must be
confident that these issues are being dealt with fairly, effectively,
and in the national interest.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission which is being sworn in today
has just such a challenging mandate. And, in the composition of the
Commission, I have great confidence that its mission will be met.
The men chosen by the President to head the new Commission;
Chairman Anders; Dr. Gilinsky; Mr. Kennedy; Dr. Mason} and Mr. Rowden;
-- bring to the task distinguished backgrounds in the sciences,
government and law. This is an outstanding group, assigned a vital
role -- at a time when expansion of this country's energy output is
an absolute imperative.
