Dear Mr. Hendrie:

I have been informed of the agreement mutually arrived at between your agency's representatives and Public Service of Indiana with respect to the company's Marble Hill power plant, and I am writing to state ry support for what seems an eminently sound decision.

In particular, the NRC has behaved responsibly in rejecting proposals which would have stopped work at the plant altogether and inflicted economic hardships on large numbers of Hoosiers. Instead, you have focused your attention sulely on the allegations regarcing the concrete work and have obtained from PSI commitments to take a number of incortant steps aimed at insuring all parties that the construction work at Marble Hill conforms to the very highest stancards.

I applaud the reasonableness of the NRC's methods and its judgment in this matter. Guessing that you have received fewer compliments than you cay have earned of late, I vtanted to make certain to express my viewpoint to you.

Sincerely, s
