64 1 2 3 4 5 caved into any political pressure. But, obviously, the questions would not come up unless there's a perception that it is a problem. So, I would ask Mark Satorius and his leadership team to think about how might this type of a concern, how can we, as a Commission, better communicate or what do we need to do to clear the air on this issue? 6 Because I am very concerned. I have heard three 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 different speakers today address what I believed were very heartfelt questions, as Commission Svinicki mentioned. And we need to, as a Commission, be able to caucus on this issue and figure out how do we best communicate with the <strong>NRC</strong> staff. So, Mark, I can't task you to do that, but I think it is a follow-on from this particular session that is important for us as a Commission to be able to better understand, so that we can do a better job of communicating to you. Because, for you, perception is reality, and that's just human nature. CHAIRMAN MACFARLANE: I think it is an important issue, but not a surprising one. We are political appointees. Politics enters, you know, at the beginning. I think there are probably views that we have been politically influenced on the left, politically influenced on the right. In my view, as long as we are sort of in the middle there, and there's enough voices on both ends, we are probably doing okay. COMMISSIONER SVINICKI: Well, I just feel a need to be clear. Is this on (referring to the microphone)? No, I've been shut off.
65 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (Laughter.) I feel a need to be clear that, you know, I've been here almost six years. I have not -- I talked about what it means to me when I sign that vote sheet -- I have not taken any actions in my role as a Commissioner that were motivated by some sort of political pressure put on me or some kind of political reward. And I can't be any clearer than that. CHAIRMAN MACFARLANE: Next question. 9 QUESTIONER: The Agency is eliminating GG-15 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 positions. Understanding the budget constraints, is it wise to eliminate these positions when we're trying to retain expertise in the Agency, especially in areas such as PRA, for which expertise is hard to find? CHAIRMAN MACFARLANE: I might ask Mark to help me comment on this one. You know, I think the senior management carefully considers the needs of the Agency and where we need to be going in 17 the future. And so, they certainly don't make choices to eliminate 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 certain positions without very careful consideration. And I think that's probably all the time we have for questions. I am going to now invite the NTEU up to make comments. There's Sheryl. You're sitting all the way at the back. So, we've got Sheryl Burrows of the NTEU. COMMISSIONER MAGWOOD: Hailing frequencies open.
