 joint meeting between the NRC and FERC and I think today's meeting like the others in the past provides a very helpful opportunity for us to discuss issues of mutual interest to both the NRC and to FERC so I very much look forward to the discussion today and in particular I want to thank staff at the NRC and at FERC for their hard work in putting together this conference so thank you very much staff and now let me ask Chairman Burns if he has any comments or opening remarks. Well thank you Chairman May for hosting today's joint meeting of the NRC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission here at your offices. This is my first time I've been here in this in this capacity as Chairman I attended some earlier sessions I was speaking with you and Commissioner LaFleur before and in turn as as general counsel. I want to recognize the significant effort that both the FERC staff and the NRC staff have put into preparing for this today's meetings and these discussions and I'm also pleased to note that our two staffs have recently worked together to update our memorandum of agreement that outlines matters of mutual interest related to the electric power and grid reliability and nuclear power safety and security and so I greatly appreciate the cooperative relationship our two agencies have had over the years and I look forward to today's presentations and discussions.
