Dear Senator D'Amato:
I own a number of cottages in Westchester County, some of which I rent to employees at the Indian Point nuclear plant.
My daughter was recently assaulted by one of my tenants, a knife-wielding plant employee who, after getting her to open her door by claiming a medical ~ emergency, bound and gagged her, demanded her money, threatened to kill her, and when I
apprehended by the police, who were summoned by a neighbor, admitted he was a cocaine addict who had been using crack.
Aside from the terror inflicted on my daughter and the very real danger to her life, I am myself-terrified at the implications this incident has for the millions whose well-being would be threatened by an accident at Indian Point caused by drug-abusing employees who obviously are not' adequately screened or tested for drug use by the plant's management, i
I was told by another plant worker that this individual's nickname, used, in fact, when summoning him over the P.A.
1 system, was " Boo-Boo," a title he earned because he made so many mistakes.
Security-at the plant is obviously and criminally lax.
There is no random testing of employees for drug use, as at other plants. It is not clear that the plant management is i
dedicated to insuring the stability and sobriety of employees at Indian Point.
When I spoke to officials there, they asked me to allow them to conduct an internal investigation before bringing this incident to the attention'of public officials.
I suggest that you might consider conducting your own investigation before the notoriety of "Three Mile Island" is supplanted by the catastrophe at " Indian Point."
Sincerely,
