[W Mr. Joseph M. Hendrie 4 r9 Chairman M h Nuclear Regulatory Commission q, //g Washington, D. C. 20555

Dear Mr. Chairman:

/"~ j As the Representative of the 5th District of Indiana, an area that is served by Public Service Indiana, I have some serious concern in regard to the Marble Hill Nuclear Plant now under construction.

I am as concerned about the safety of this plant as anyone.

However, I am also concerned that it be completed in a timely fashion. The power that will be generated from

. this plant will be urgently needed by my area in the 1980 's.

I am, of course, aware of some of the problems that have arisen in regard to the construction and I join with others in urging that all steps be taken to see that the plant is built safely.

However, I also urge you most strongly that no steps be taken to stop all construction. In my opinion, such a step is not called for at this time because there is no dangers to the public.

Any deficiencies in the construction of the plant should be caught and corrected but I feel this could be done by proper inspection and direction to the owner of the plant and its contractor.

To stop all construction would be overkill and is not justified by the facts.

Sincerely, uiGL Elwood H. " Bud" Hillis Merber of Congress H/m g909 8 N I O
