House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Coughlin:

     This is in response to your request for ounr opinion on whether certain
material appearing# in the hay 1976 issue of a newsletter entitled aBreeder
Briefs violated Federal anti-lobbying statutes. The newsletter provides
infowmation on the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project (CRO), which
project Is funded in part by the Energy Research and Deve       Adin.s-
    tain(ERD).

    -The marteriail which -prompted your request appears on. page 2 of the
neletter under the heading Express CRBp Support, Van Kor Urges,.r
attributed to Kr. Peter S. Van Nort, General Manager of the Project Manage-
nent Corporation, and. is set forth below:

          Peter- S. Van Nort, PM General Manager, urges
     supporters around the nation to express their views
     on the need for the Clinch River Breeder Reactor

          'We have been informed- that critics have called
     upon groups agound the country to contact their Con-
     sremm    and say vote against the breeder. it's
     time-that we use- the- same- strategy;   he-said. -Project
     opponents hr Congress are planning amnments to fis-
     cal year '77 authorization legislation and other
     tactics which would delay the project-

          Van. Nort notes that the view of a small number
     gets distorted in the minds of national leaders be-
     cause 'we are to. conservative about speaking out on
     the Issues. We need to make our Congressmen- aware
     that the overwhelming number of people supp;rt the
     breeder. The Nation's future depends on it.

     You ask spcifically wether the above comets violate I8 u.s.C.
1913, 31 U.S.C. 628 or any other Federal statute. 18 U.S.C. 5 1913 pro-
hibits and provides penal sanctions for the use of money appropriated
