MARVb-rr STATE REPRESENTATIVES, ~1 M55Es2B'L DIS~tR1IB

-RuLes eand D,'rectives-June 9th, 2004 Chief, Rules and Directives Branch X Division of Administration Services, Office of Administration o' Mailstop T-6D59 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 ATTN: Federal Registrar 5.13.04 Pg. 26624-26625 To Whom It May Concern:

As a Wisconsin State Representative, and also a member of the Wisconsin Assembly committee on Energy & Utilities, I write you today to urge the license renewal of the two nuclear reactors at Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant, located in Two Creeks, Wisconsin. The renewal of these licenses is vital not only for the continued operation of the plant, but also for the future of the state of Wisconsin and indeed the entire Midwest.

Wisconsin's power needs are growing at a rate of approximately 3% each year.

The nuclear plant at Point Beach currently provides approximately one-sixth of all electrical power in Wisconsin. To take this plant offline would force massive purchases of power from other states or the construction of new baseload generating plants, which both would be devastating to the ratepayers of Wisconsin, and could possibly place a huge burden on the transmission grid in the Midwest causing it to become unstable.

Thank you for your consideration.
