Possibie Conflicts of Interest
Mr. Strauss referred to discussions during the closed
hearings of the JCAE on June 26 and 27, and said that, at these
hearings, he had been asked whether Mr. Walker Cisler was
involved ina possible conflict of interests in his capacity as
an advisor to ICA and as an official of the Power Development
Reactor Company. Mr, Strauss remarked that he did not believe
that any conflict of interests existed in this situation. However,
he requested that it ve determined whether Mr. Cisier is an
AEC consultant at the present time. In addition, he requested
a report on whethez any individuals having business affiliations
with the AEC are also serving as AEC consultants without
compensation, Mr, Strauss incicated concern that AEC’s
present consultant policy has caused some prospective consultants to feel that they must either sever tneir business
affiliations or refuse to become an AXZC consultant, Such a
policy, he said, has deprived AEC of the services of many
competent persons,
