Dear Dr. Hendrie:

A front page news item in the 9 August 1979 issue of The Lincoln County I ews quotes portions of a letter to you requesting extended shutdown of the I.:aine rankee Atomic power plant.

The news ite: apparently identifies To: Trotforidge as Director of Civilian R:er5ency Preparedness in Edgecomb; erroneously indicates that Ed ecomb has no energency 5

evacuation plan; and requests the shutdown of Eaine Yankee.

The above statements are not true.

As you know, CZP is not a political agency; and does not advocate causes.

Its purpose at the commun,ity level is to act as energency planner and coordinator for local N

elected officials in tire o'f disaster of any kind, whether stors, nuclear, or other can-made.

the town of Zd ecomb has had an enerE:ency operations Al s o,

5 plan and an adequate evacuation plan since 1977 The plans are State approved; and are continuously being updated.

Accordingly, we request that you ignore any reference to the town of Edgecoab that cay be ' contained in the letter to you requesting shutdown of Maine Yankee. Atomic.
