In this mention

Marvin Runyon, former president of Nissan Motor Manufacturing U.S.A., is sworn in as TVA's ninth chairman on January 25, 1988. The article profiles his management philosophy and discusses challenges he faces, including TVA's troubled $16 billion nuclear program. Mark Siegel of the Tennessee Valley Energy Coalition expresses concerns about Runyon's stakeholder engagement and calls for stronger oversight of the nuclear recovery program.

We feel like Mr. Runyon came out of the confirmation process with a couple of problems with his relationships with people and organizations in the Tennessee Valley. There was a feeling that he was not open to a number of groups to meet and discuss his positions.
