RECEIVED Joe Leibhamn MI'1 JUL 22 I.H1 8 38 STATE SENATOR Rudes and Directimees Bra, .ch UJ.i 1.

July 14, 2004 C91101p'e 6~?/Z-  :,26 4,Ce Mr. Michael T. Lesar Chief, Rules and Directives Branch Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration Mailstop T-6D, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 20555-0001

Dear Nuclear Regulatory Commission Members:

I am writing to encourage you to renew Point Beach's Unit One and Two licenses so Wisconsin residents and businesses can benefit from 20 more years of clean, efficient and affordable nuclear power.

Located in Two Creeks, the Point Beach facility employs approximately 730 area residents with family-sustaining jobs and has a 20-year record of safe operations warranting license renewal. In addition, it contributes significantly to Wisconsin's energy generation and is invaluable to the economic development of our region and the quality of life of our residents.

Approval of this application is one way we can ensure Wisconsin residents are not faced with an unnecessary energy shortage, and that Wisconsin's economic recovery is not curtailed. For this reason, I ask that you grant approval for Point Beach's application for license renewal.

Sincerely, i;, Ln10rfA 1 Joe Leibham State Senator DP Senate District _
