Republicans Criticize
Report Clearing Acc
OF Mismanagement
BY the Associated Press

A congressional report absolv-
ing the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion OF Incredible mismanage-
ment" chsrges set critical Repub-
licans at work today on a dissent
ing document.
The report clearing Chairman
David E. Lilienthal and the other
Acc members of the charges was
approved by the Senate House
Atomic Energy Committee late
yesterday. The vote was 9 to 6 on
straight party lines-Democrats
for, Republicans against.
Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican, of Iowa, who made the mis-
management accusation, promptly
labelled the majority report a
"cleverly- written whitewash" OF
the committees investigation last
summer. He promised a minority
version "highlighting the proof"
of his charges.
Only Minor Changes.
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat,
of Connecticut, the committee
chairman. said only minor
changes were made in the first
draft. He said the substance of
the document was in no way
altered.
Senator Mcmahon said he would
release the majority report after
it had been filed in the Senate.
He said it still includes the state
ment that Senator Hickenlooper's
charges against the Acc could
not be proved" That. he added.
sets the general tone of the report.
Senator Hickenlooper took issue
with Senator McMahon's state
ment that the report was not
substantially changed.
Most of the revision is signif1-
can't" Senator Hickenlooper said,
because it changed the report
from an utterly one-sided thing
to a document that gives just a
little credit for certain things"
Acc Funds Approved.
Meanwhile, the Joint Commit
tee approved legislation which
Senator Mcmahon said is intended
to remove an obstacle to swift
construction of badly needed
atomic facilities.
The bill approved is in the form
of an amendment to the inde-
pendent Offices appropriations
measure recently enacted by Con-
gress. It contains funds for the
Acc.
Tackled onto that bill was a
rider which prohibits TIE commits
sion from starting any new con-
struction project which was not
included in the Presidents budget
unless the commission first gets
approval from Congress and the
Budget Bureau. The amendment
would make the law inapplicable
in the case of atomic facilities
certified as essential to nationa,
security.
