Ruth,



A further clarification ... which I am sure you are aware of ... 



Don't forget the old Federal Radiation Council.   This organization's 

responsibilities were assigned to the EPA when it was established in 1970.   

This passed to the EPA responsibility for establishing baseline radiation 

protection standards that the NRC and DOE most comply with.     



The most tangible example of this is the EPAs continuing the publication of 

the Federal Guidance Report series ... No. 13 being the most recent.   I am 

sure most everyone on the list is familiar with these reports.   This makes 

the EPA's role broader than air emissions.



Future legislation built upon this broad responsibility of the EPA ... as you 

previously listed.   This transition obviously predates, and is independent 

of, the division of the AEC in ERDA and the NRC ... which you stated.
