Dear Dr. Seanans:

You will find enclosed copy of a letter fron Mr. Paul A. Artis, Crystal River, Florida, to3ccher with a copy of his connunication of Jattuary 7 to President Fced, concerning a nuclear plant at Crystal River, Florida, which is now, according to !!r. Artis, 80 per cent completed. Your particular attention is invited to paragraph 4 in the letter to President Ford. Obviously an inpasse has been reached because of a lack of funds, and it is hoped that sone federal assistance nay be forthconing. It is possible that the forner Atonic Energy Connission is awa*e of the construction of this plant. If you nave any infornation as to the possibility of sone Governnent assistance, will you be ;;ood enough to advise ne, so that I in turn nay transnit the information,to !!r. Artis. Thanking you for your pronpt attention to ny inquiry, j Sincply, N RICHARD IILLY

Dear Con 6ressman 311y:

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. l There are many, including the writer, who are in complete a6reement with you. In this connection, enclosed is copy of my letter of January 7, 1975 co 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 Washing-  ! ton in view of the volum9 of mail received in l President Ford's office. ' However, time is of the essence. Perhaps, you can directly contact the party in Washington who can give immediate considera-tion to the Crystal River problem. S ncerely yours .

                                                                                                                                                }
