Our joint memberships comprise practically all the bus-ines ses , manuf acturers , and commercial es tablishments in the Cot.nty o f York se rved by >!e tropolitan Edis on. Further, these o rg ani:ations rep res ent the voices of many thousands of em-playees whose verv livelihood depend upon the economic well oeing of their employer organi:ations.

Our request is based on the Nuclear Regulatorv Commission being assured that all s afe ty requirements would be s atis fied according to the latest s tate o f the art.

Without bela' coring the s tatis tics , shich ob vious ly e s tab -

2) The possibility of forced closure with loss of j obs if pcwer costs continue to carr" the se added burdens ,

and

3) The loss of new business development opportunity because of excessive power costs in this .'.te -Ed region.
