Dear Mr. Pham:

)

As a representative for Millwrights Local 740, acting on behalf of my members, I want to express my support for the relicensing of Indian Point.

Indian Point employs thousands of highly skilled, highly trained workers and contractors, including many Millwright Union members. The loss of those jobs and the 2,000 megawatts of electricity produced by the site, would create undue hardship on the workers and the families they support through their labor.

The Millwrights philosophy is that with skilled, safe, productive employees, our contractors will continue to win the contracts that keep our members working. We share Entergy's "safety first" philosophy, and strongly believe their investment of hundreds-of millions of dollars into equipment upgrades for Indian Point and training for its employees has lead the site to an unprecedented level of operational performance.

Millwright Local 740 does not support closing Indian Point Energy Center, and furthermore, petitions the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to support the relicensing of the Indian Point Energy Center facility.

We look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter.

Sincerely, Fil*

Business Manager KU 60,0 .~LL- $ V~, &4~>
