Dear Mr. Chairman:
The letter dated May 8,1979, from you and Senator Hatch inquired about a request by Dr. Chase Petersen for funding of his study of the health effects of low-level ionizing radiation. We have been unable to locate that letter or any record or knowledge of its receipt within the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Perhaps it was sent to or received by another agency.
We would be happy to look further into this matter if you wish us to do so.
Sincerely,
\\

Dear Dr,
Hendrie:
As you know, Dr Chase Petersen of the University of Utah has requested $18,000 from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to complete his study of the health effects of low-level ionizing radiation.
On the basis of the testimony we heard in Salt Lake City on April 19 regarding radioactive fallout in southern Utah, we feel strongly that the kind of health infortnation i
which Dr. Petersen is seeking to develop is of the greatest i
importance.
i Dr. Petersen's request for further funding is, we understand, now being considered by the Is'RC.
We would appreciate your informing us of where that request is in the review process, what alternatives (if any) for gathering the information needed are being considered, and when a decision will be made.
