Moreover, the Board was in no way bound by the reports’ recommendations, nor the reasoning contained therein; the reports were simply prepared for t . 22 (D.C.Cir.1983) (noting that “[i]f the agency merely carried out the recommended decision without explaining its decision in writing, we could not be sure that the memoranda accurately reflected the decisionmaker’s thinking”).
