Dear Mr. Collins:

73 I am writing to you today in support of Indian Point's relicensing.

At a time of great alm-m over the real impact of sky -ocketing energy costs, Entergy has consistently managed and invested in Indian Point for tfie oing term.. This includes making sizable capital expenditures to improve fUe quality and efficiency of this important facility.

Indiani Point has consistently been one of. if not the most, scrutinized nuclear facility in the nation and continues to earn high grades fbr safety and sectirity. It has also earned the respect of its community for its commitment to our growth and prosperity.

Indian Point's commit-nent to organiized, highly skilled labor and to its employees has been well documented over the years with the salaries for employees on par or better in comparison with many other comparable positions within the I-Iudson Valley.

Indian Point's benefits to thie environment are also well documented, with emissions free energy generation as a key reason why New York has some of the lowest per capita carbon emissions in the nation, Indian Point has worked with the community to make it a better place to live, work and raise a family. It is critical to our energy future and an important aeconomic engine for New York.

I urge you to expedite die final timeline for application review and to support the relicensing of Indian Point.

Sincerely yours, Bob Seager Business Manager Millwright Local 740
