Dear Mr. Moore:
Attached is a copy of a letter to the President from the Lebanon County (PA) Commissioners who are my constituents.
They focus on a very serious irony of the af termath of the Three Mile Island accident on many of my constituents.
I commend this letter to your attention ~~
~
and woulde hope that the views it contains-retrid play a role in future policy deliberations on nuclear issues as well/as issues pertaining.t my region of our country.
Cordially, /

)
l It is ironic that on the first anniversary of the Three Mile Island incident, we, the customers of the
.htropolitan Edison Cocpany, living within the twenty-five mila radius, received electric power bills reflecting a fifty percent (50%) increase in cost over and above prior tenthly and previous yearly bills even though our consu:nption of kilowatt hours decreased substantially.
When ve questioned Met-Ed-Officials-concerning ' ~ ~ ' -
-" ~ ~~
this increase, they explained the rise in costs were due to Met-Ed's having to purchase energy from other powr utility cc=panies because of the shut down of Three Mile Island Unit I and Unit II.
Thus, it appears our citizens are paying other power companies for premium energy and thereby reducing the power z=panies' cost of energy, but drastically increasing the cost to the victi=s of Three Mile Island.
In this circuitous fashion, the vict1=s are forced to pay for the dar. ages which rasulted from T.M.I.
Lebanon Countians have been affected psychologically, physically and financially.
We believe that our' cast of energy as well as the cost of clean-up, should be shared by those who benefited from the T.M.I. accident experience na_mely, power ccepanies throughout the United States.
