Dear Mr. Secratary:

4 Nuclear energy is of paramount inportance fcr the National Security and welf nre of the United States. We can no longer decend upon oil producing nations for our energy needs.

Iet us show tne utmost resoect fer those who have the knowledge and credentials to socak on thi.s subject of nuclear energy. 'Je must not paralize this industry as sone would favor. Moreover, we should axpand this vital industry and along with it the strength of our nation shall expand.

Our coal resources shali never measure against the many advantages of Huclear Energy. The transnortation of c,al th mughout the country nay ba hindered greatly in time < '

of a vtional crisis se as :r, liasasi'r or truck or train strikes. The disadvantages of coal and it's relnted energy value as amajor source of national ener;y could very well place us in a moment of deep peril. We must have foresight and wisden when we conclude our final discision on nuclear power. I shall say this; Let us give recognition, wher.?

it is justly due , to the President of th2 United States. When we discuss nuclear energy we are -tanding in the President's back yard. He has the credentials of this important subject.

The v:cident at TMI Nuclear Facility was of a serious nature. There is nothing built by man which is 100% fail-safe! We shall always have w ccal problens. Thera will be as in the past, present and future the elenent of hunan error.

Perhaps, the heavanly things are oerfect, however, we can not ascribe this to Man and that which he has built.

The radiation leakage of TMI was so infintesnal it does not deserve mentioning other than it was greatly amolified. I fir ily believe that the employeer of TMI are professional and are ore qualified now than ever before. We " ell" learn by cur own nistakes. Looking back, Nuclear Power has had a good track record nation wide over the years.

Our best national conservation plan is to conserve orecious oil. We should imolenent every possible avenue available to us to conserve oil, de must be .iust and unbaised by turning over the reins to the professionals. Let .us call a nechanic, an:

engineer, a builder and repair TMI. In addition, all systens should be "G0" to start up TMI unit no.1 reactor! Thank you. _

Cordially yours,
