HARRISBURG PA 17109 July 10, 1980 The Honorable J'e'my CARTER im President of th United-States of America.
- Sir, An ethical society should be concerned with preserving the inalienable right to life. Experimentation on the American public by the Nuclear Industry, the Federal Covernment and its regulatory agencica must stop.
~ As a. resident,,of Harrisburg, living in the TMI_ area, our
( children,,my husband and I were subjected, along with all the residents
) of this region to untold and forever unmeasured doses of radiation I on March 28, 29 and 30th, 1979. Furthermore, the conspiracy of lies of the nuclear industry coupled with the wanton neglect of the NRC deprived all of us of the knowledge that should have been ours, so that we could have made our own decisions concerning our lives and health.
We were' denied all rights. Our well-being and safety were not even considered. The survival of the utility company involved was of much more importance in the minds of most governing bodies.
And NOW, one year and four months later, more than 50,000 curies of " filtered" krypton are being vented into the air with total disregard as to meteorological conditions, only because it is the cheapest, not the. safest, way of cleaning up the IMI monster.
And this is only.the beginning' of a long operation, a trip into the unknown for.us and'for the industry!
Radiation doses are cumulative.
We do not'want to become mere guinea pigs for the industry, for the government and the scientists dedicated to a nuclear world.
We have exhausted all legal and public maans at our disposal.
We feel like little ants trying to hold back some booted giants!~
.And we are'left with our fears and uncertainties. What is to become of our. children, and their children? What might happen to our food supplies, co this beatiful country of central Pennsylvania, our rivers, our animals? This area has already undergone some small and subtle. changes'over this past year.,
O l,

I am writing this letter on behalf of my husband, Edwin C.
Ullom;.our son Garth and his wife Debra Ullom; our daughter Liane and her husband William Pletcher; our two daughters, still at home, Brigitte and Mon!que Ullom, and myself, Janine R. Ullom.
I, We,-hold personally accountable and responsible for
. implementing hazardoua and_ murderous policies in all aspects of nuclear developments, the President of the United States, the Congress,'the chairman and commissioners of the NRC, the presidents and vice-presidents of the General Public Utility Company and of Metropolitan-Edison.
I, We, charge the parties, named in the preceding paragraph, shall be charged with having caused or having contributed to any carcinasis, lung disease or genetic disorders, injuries or deaths,
. afflicting any and all members of our family, name* above, and all of my and their descendents, from this date forward.
Random murder cannot be accepted as the cost of progress.
In a democracy, the government is the servant of the people, answerable only to the people.
Instead, we, the people, find ourselves powerle,ss hostages of-the bureaucrats, the technocrats, of a huge subridized industry and their money lenders.
In the name of my family, I want to go on record to-day, and give you notice that you shall be held legally responsible and liable for the physical ~and psychological harm that may happen to my family, now and in the future. We have no choice. YOU DO !
If the present philosophy of experimentation is continued, then you must be ready to treat our ills later.
Or, you can reverse this trend and face the moral obligations we all should
~
feel-when dealing with our fellow human beings. Nuclear power is not necessary to the future of our world, but our children ARE the future.
Respectfully, h*
Q, O M~
