AIKEN, Vermont CARL T. CURTIS, Nebraska EDWARD J. BAUSER, Executive Director (II) FOREWORD Hearings on the AEC authorization bill for fiscal year 1970 were held by the Joint Committee beginning on April 17, 1969, and extended through April 30, 1969. The review included not only the Commission's operating funds but also its request for funds for plant and capital equipment obligations. Two such hearings concerning the AEC's weapons program, special nuclear materials program, and the naval nuclear propulsion program were held in executive session because they involved the review of classified information. The vast bulk of the hearings, however, was held in open session and, together with appropriate supporting documentation, is reprinted herein and in the first and third parts comprising this three-part record. Listed below are the major topical items of each of the three parts: Part 1: General; physical research; space nuclear; and Plowshare. Part 2: Civilian power reactors. Part 3: Biology and medicine; isotopes development; special nuclear materials; naval propulsion reactors; community; program direction and administration; security investigations; training education and information; raw materials; and light water breeder reactor. 1 The executive hearing on naval nuclear propulsion reactors, after classified testimony and material are deleted for security reasons, will be printed separately.
