Dear Dr. Seamans:
You will find enclosed copy of a letter fron Mr. Paul A.
Artis, Crystal River, Florida, together with a copy of his connunication of January 7 to President Ford, concerning a nuclear plant at Crystal River, Florida, which is now, according to Mr. Artis, 80 per cent completed.
Your particular attention is invited to paragraph 4 in the letter to President Ford. Obviously, an impasse has been reached because of a lack of funds, and it is hoped that some federal assistance may be forthco ing.
~
It is possible that the former Atomic Energy Comnission is aware of the construction of this plant. If you have any infor: eat. ion as to the possibility of some Government assistance, will you be good enough to advise me, so that I in turn may transmit the information.to Mr. Artis.
Thanking you for your prompt attention to ny inquiry,

Dear Con 6ressman Dlly:
The writer was happy to see the article in the Tampa Tribune of January 11, 1975 which states that you see energy as the nation's top problem.
There are many, includin6 the writer, who are in complete aBreement with you. In this connection, enclosed is copy of my letter of January 7, 1975 to President Ford which is self-explanatory.
You will note that attention is called specifically to Florida Power's unfinished nuclear plant in Crystal River.
It is too early to expect a reply from Washin6-ton in view of the volum9 of mail -received in President Ford's office. ' However, time.is of the essence.
Perhaps, you can directly contact the party in Washin6 on who can S ve immediate considera-t i
tion to the Crystal River problem.
Sincerely yours M d.d Paul A. Artis

e T9 My dear Hr. President:
1 Nuclear Plant 807. com.:leted
~ [.
m The Flordia Power Corporation, St. Petersb :rG, Florida, has a
'ql
-G nuclear plant under construct-lon at Crystal River, Florida which is -
80,"* congleted.
Due to lack of f.:nds, they have furlouthed hundreds of con-
. 4.9 struction workers and construction is practically at a standstill.
no F.P.C., due primarily to '.ndettedness in plant construction is unable to borrow funds in the noney unr'cet and une.ble.to
- osts,
(.enorate adequate revenues internally because of del ys and rejection The F.P.C. Eenerates Jgf requests for reasonable rat.e increases.
.flectric power primarily from oil.
nia. President, you and many members of.the executive and legis-J 1 3.tive bren hos.have en nt:2erous occasions' atated that one of the
- 'incipal usys to alleviate dependence on foreicn oil producers is to
. p a d.1ild nucleer plants.
J In vie'f of the enercy crunch, the impasse at Cry.-tal Rivor al=cet 3 'fies logic.
I feel sure that F.P.C.
is not see'cing a su' sidy but o
) er, ply the op;. ort.nity to borrow f.usds at a reasonable rate of interest to co:.. lete the nuclear plant.
Surely, our federal Government can do the necessary to terminate the impanse.
I welcoae the o;;;.ortunity' to brins this partiicular situn.t' ion to
~our attention.
A copy of this letter. is beins f or'.farded to Mr.. /.ndreu'Hines, Prc.sident, F.P.G for the purpoce of obtain.ns clarification or f.*rther do tdi'1, if you so desire.
Very respectfully yourc,
