Dear Sirs:

i This is to advise you that our organization views with considerable alar = the proposal to establish a nuclear power installation at Sedro Wooley, Washington State.

Such a plant, if constructed, vould pose a hazard to cillions  :

of dollars vorth of fish which our members depend on for a livelihood.

W e, therefore, wholeheartedly endorse the intervention prepared by Mr. Rod Marining on behalf of the Greenpeace Foundation.

Further, we are prepared to provide Mr. Marining with expert evidence as to the extent of possible losses caused by the Sedro Wooley project.

Finally, ve regret the delay in tendering our petition on this vita' catter. However, it'has only recently been brought to our attentien via the mass nedia hov inminent the project is; the geographic proximity which vill affect our vital interests in the fishing industry; and the possible risks which may be involved.

Tnanking you for your attention, we remain, Yours truly, N
