This is in further response to your invitation of March 24, 1960, to
the Director, Bureau of Mines, to provide a brief statement for the
public hearings to be held by the Special Radiation Subcommittee of
the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy on the subject, "Radiation
Protection Criteria and Standards: Their Basis and Use."

In a letter of April 8, 1960, to you, it was stated that the Department
of the Interior would bring up to date the information provided for the
bearings on Federal-State Relationships. After a review of what is
requested and the material provided for the earlier hearings, the
Department finds that with a minor addition the statement of September 11,
1958, to Senator Clinton P. Anderson defines the present situation.
That statement, with its enclosures, and the supplemental material are
submitted.

MATERIAL SUPPLEMENTAL TO STATEMENT OF SEPTEMBER 11, 1958,
TO SENATOR CLINTON P. ANDERSON

721

On the basis of an informal arrangement made with the Division of Raw Materials of the Atomic Energy Commission in June 1959 the Bureau of Mines is conducting inspections of uranium mines operated on land leased from the Atomic Energy Commission. All active mines have been inspected and re-inspections have been started.

The enclosed paper on Bureau of Mines Inspection of Uranium Mines on Indian Land presents the current status of that activity.
