r, We thank the Board members for scheduling a special enning sessich-onThursday, March 5th,toaffordsouthcentralPennsylvanik?esidkts whose daily work-hours preclude attending the daytime hearp~gs onc5;MI-1 Restart to present their concerns to you in person.

As you have seen, interest and response was high -- probably moreso than you estimated when scheduling only one evening for testimony. In the three-hcur ceriod allotted, if cich speaker was kept to a maximum five-minute presentation -- a limitation that has never been successfully enforced in cast ASLB hearings -- then an absolute maximum of only 34 witnesses could have appeared (allowing for one 10-minute recess). In fa ct, the number who appeared was considerably less; and many more -- we were number 52 on the list to address you -- remained to be heard.
It is crucial for your Board's fullest understanding and wisest decision regarding restart of TMI-1 that these citizens be given their right to present their concerns -- pro or con regarding Unit 1 -- face-co-face before the Board, for appreciation of the intensity of residents' concerns about TMI-1 Restart cannot be adequately raised nor sensed through the emotionless nature of written statements.
Therefore it is imperative within the charge given this Board that another evening opportunity for pubilc testimony on an intimate and personal basis be scheduled soon, allowing the many interested and con-cerned individuals whc could not address you on March 5th to do so.
We look forward to your immediate and favorable attention to this request, and to sharing personal revelations about TMI as they directly pertain to oceration and cublic safety at Unit 1.
Remaining Most sincerely yours,
-L h oG.
