Florida Power Corporation Nuclear Generating Plant, Docket No. 50-302

Dear Mr. Jensch:

I am George A. Smathers, United States Senator for the State of Florida, and I sincerely appreciate this opportunity to endorse the application of Florida Power Corporation for licenses to construct and operate a nuclear generating facility at the site of its newest power plant in Citrus County.

. This company's Crystal River plant went into operation in 1966 and has attracted considerable atten-tion; its impact on the progress and economical devel-opment of the entire _ area has been phenomenal.

The advent of a nuclear-fueled generating facility at this location, too, will create an even greater influence on the growth of the West Coast of Florida.

Tax monies derived-from Florida Power's multi-million-dollar investment at this power plant will help strengthen our State 's economy, to say nothing about the needs for new homes, schools, -hurches, businesses, and l industries which will be required to support the predicted expansion of Citrus County and surrounding a rea s.

I-am proud 'to represent one of the most' beautiful States in our Nation, and the prospect of nuclear power plants is one that I endorse most heartily, not only from a safety aspect, but especially from the aest.hetic 9

Nuclear power has already proved itself as being' a clean, non-pollutant source of electric.Beneration.

I am pleased that Florida Power Corporation is-continuing its goal of being a forward-thinking company which is proud of its role in keeping Florida healthy and beautiful.

My personal endorsement of Florida Power's application to construct and operate a nuclear facility at Crystal River is respectfully submitted for the public record, in accordance with Section 2.715 of your Commission's Rules.
