Dear Sir:
"PLEASE CLOSE DOWN THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR PLANT" On April 4, 1979 HEW Secretary Joseph Califano said that radiation would continue in the vicinity of TMI nuclear plant on a low level, and that " levels of radiation may be incremented for years to come".
He added that it takes 20 to 30 years to get a sense of the impact of low level radiation, and the effects are subject to debate.
According to Dr. Gerry Stein of the Center for Disease Controi in Atlanta & leading biochemists "Any amount of radiation you are exposed to, your health will be adversely affected".
The damage has been done to the people and children of the Harrisburg, York and Lancaster areas. I pray and urge you to do everything in your power to close down Three Mile Island.
Children and infants are 40 times more vulnerable to radiation than adults, and the susceptibility of the unborn is even higher.
My family and I insist that the " CLEANUP of Three Mile Island be done with foremost thought for the health and safety of the community.
The people of the area will be subjected to ' low levels'of ra-diation for years to come during the clean-up. Please do every-thing in your power to close down the plant at Three Mile Island.
I am made as hell at Xet Ed for lying to the public however you and the many people this incident has affected will be in our prayers.
I will be watching to see the position you take on this issue.
Sincerely, 97ghaelS. Staub ^ iuAddwh ng
