Dear Mr. Kuo:
It is my understanding thatthe J6seph -M. Farley Nuclear Plant located in Dothan,..
Alabama is currently involved in the process of renewing their license to continue operations for an additional 20 years. I am writing in favor of Farley Nuclear.
Plant being granted a renewed license during this process.
As General Manager of WTVY-TV, I have had many.opportunities to work closely with representatives of Farley in various capacities, including work related issues involving our normal news gathering efforts on Farley itself or on general power generation issues; or in a multitude of situations where Farley management and their employees are involved in service to this community. My experience has always been that representatives -of Farley are at all times open, responsive and forthright with the local media.
Additionally, Farley employees have been consistently committed and unselfish in their efforts to improve this community in significant and meaningful ways.
in News Leader As a member of the Board of Directors for the Chamber of Commerce and the Wiregrass Area United Way, I know first hand how important Farley Nuclear Plant is'to this community.
Farley management and employees are excellent corporate citizens in helping to improve our city through economic development, educational oiitreach, 'community service, charitable donations, and so much more.
I personally'have depended on the,gnerosity of Farley. employees to lead the way for our other corporate donors during recent United Way campaigns, and they have always responded without hesitation and with overwhelming support. Farley Auj6t 285 North Foster Street

Mr. Kuo December 8, 2003 Page 2 Management has also been extremely supportive of the Chambers efforts to recruit new businesses and jobs to our area, and in many cases, they have been a key to our success.
In my role with the television station, I have always found Farley employees to be responsive and professional in providing access to the media. Our reporters have
- - been treated respectfully and opeily at-all tifes, andhavebeen provided-etensive access to management and media relations' personnel. The stories that we have done over the years have served our community well by explaining the extensive precautions that Farley undertakes to protect their operations, our community and the environment. Those reports have become even more vital to our audience due to recent world events, and we have continually been provided the attention and access that is needed to provide fair and balanced reporting on those issues.
In closing, let me say that your renewal of Farley Nuclear Plant's operating license is strongly supported by the vast majority of this community.
Farley is an important asset to our area and I personally encourage you to grant a renewal of their operating license in the most expedient manner possible.
