Cear Misters Copeland, :.ccle, Thrash, Newman, Culo, lowenstein, Reis, Axelrac, and Toll:

I keep getting huge brown envelopes in the = ail frem Baker & Botts concerning the licencing of the planned Allens Creek nuclear plant, and I a= becc=ing very exasperated by these letters frem Baker & Botts stating that such-and-such a petition to intervene should be denied because the reasons were too " vague." No matter what the reasons are, let's face it, won't you always find them too vague?" For no petition to intervene is 'Gely to satisfy d

you because you are hired by h%D to find something wrong with the petitions.

I tnink that da= age to the healthy functioning of humans or plans is clear when it happens; anybody knows that our organs are made to function a certain way and when something goes wreng, it is clear enough. Anybody knows that humans cecend on plants for their lives, and damage to plant health and function is clear enough when it is dene.

Furthermore, while I as returning to you c:7 opinion on your ocinion, I want to add that I as further exasperated by the language you use to recc==end cenial c2 a petition. It seems that you cannot write a ci=ple statement.

It

=ust be long, full of legal terms, abbreviationi and numbers, all meant to con-fuse anc inti=idate people like us petitioners. You lawyers in your pinstriped threepieced suits are probably secretly laughing at cur efforts.

You =ust have hearts undar those clothes, and I wnder if you have really stopped what yeu're doing, separated your =ics from legal work, and asked yourselves if it is =crally rizht anc in the interest of the health, not ecmfert, of humanity (including those closest to your hearts) to build more and more nuclear plants?

Sincerely, Gayle De Grege _
