          3              CHAIRMAN JACKSON:  We have an affirmation session. 
          4    You're welcome to stay and be the audience.  In fact, it
          5    takes all of three minutes.  Please have a seat.  You can
          6    see how we do our business.
          7              Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.  This is an
          8    affirmation session.  We have one item to come before us
          9    this afternoon.  Before I ask the secretary to lead us
         10    through the item for affirmation, do any of my colleagues
         11    have any comments they wish to make?  If not, Mr. Secretary,
         12    please proceed.
         13              MR. HOYLE:  Thank you, Chairman Jackson.  The item
         14    is Secy 98-203, which concerns the Baltimore Gas & Electric         
         15    Company's Calvert Cliffs proceeding
         16              The Commission is being asked in this paper to act        
         17    on an order responding to a motion by the National
         18    Whistleblower Center to vacate portions of a previous order         
         19    of the Commission known as CLI 98-14.  98-14 Referred the           
         20    NWC's petition for intervention and hearing in this
         21    proceeding to the licensing board, provided guidance for the
         22    conduct of the license renewal proceeding and set out a
         23    suggested procedural schedule for the case.
         24              Each of you has voted to approve the order in this
         25    paper with some changes, denying NWC's motion on the grounds
                                                                      4

          2    to oversee the adjudicatory proceedings at this agency.
