     The Honorable John D. Dingell      RELEASED
     Chairman, Subcommittee on
       Oversight and Investigations
     Committee on Energy and Commerce                         117874
     House of Representatives

     Dear Mr. Chairman:
                                 -1
          Subject: The Department of Energy Did Not Provide
                    the Subcommittee With All Documents Re-
                    lated to theContract for the Clin hie
                    Breeder Reactor's Steam Generator ftMD-82-56)


          In mid-1981, your Subcommittee staff investigated several
     aspects of the Department of Energy's (DOE's) award of a contract
     to develop and manufacture the Clinch River Breeder Reactor's
     (CRBR's) steam generators. A hearing was held on July 20, 1981,
     on the results of the staff's work. In reporting on its study,
     your staff noted that it had been hampered by DOE's failure to
     supply all documents related to this procurement.

          In September 1981, you asked that we follow-up on the
     staff's work by reviewing several aspects of the CRBR program--
     including examining the process DOE used to award the steam
     generator contract and determining whether that contract could
     have been terminated for default. As part of that work, we
     gathered pertinent data and documents related to the steam
     generator contract and its award. Subsequently, in March 1982,
     you also asked that--based on our recently completed work--we
     report on our observations concerning DOE's failure to supply
     the Subcommittee with requested information. This letter is
     in response to your March 1982 request.

          Although the Subcommittee requested copies of all documents
     related to the steam generator contract award, we found eight
     key documents that were not provided. Without these key docu-
     ments, the Subcommittee would not have the full story concerning
     the award of the steam generator contract.
