.gg 2 The Honorable Arlen Specter suite 342 Russell Senate Building Washington, D.C. 20510

Dear Senator Specter:

On Thursday, January 21, 1982, the senate Appropriations Committee postponed its hearing on the Three Mile Island Unit 2 cleanup funding in Harrisburg due to the weather conditions.

(The TMI funding is tied in to the restart of Unit 1.)

It is not possible to postpone an emergency evacuation if we have another serious or catastrophic accident at Three Mile Island.

The extreme cold weather and icy road conditions existing lately would have made an evacuation impossible.

AAA in this area alone had thousands of emergency calls because of cars that would'not start due to the weather.

Service stations can list thousands of calls also.

Many other people had to wait days before their cars would start, and a lot of these cars were well maintained.

One school district could not start at least half of their busses.

Those busses could not be used for emergency i

Ns J

purposee.

Because of accidents caused by poor weather conditions, roads were blocked for long periods of time.

(The volune of

'~'w traffic was less than normal.)

Do not be a party'to this farce.

Tell the public the truth about evacuation in the event of a nuclear power plant accident!

Sincerely, ft / k hume George A.

Herman t
