Dear Mr. Chairman:

Thank you for your letter of May 26 and the attached " Marble Hill Summary". The summary was very useful to me, aM I have begun to collect comments on it. I may be back in touch with you on specifics of the stmunry at a later time.

In her capacity as Chairman of the Energy Policy Committee, Indiana Sassafras Audubon Society, Mrs. David G. Frey of Bloomington, Indiana, has followed events at Marble Hill closely and has corresponded with me frequently. Mrs. Frey has expressed repeatedly her concern about the recent safety-related problems at the site. In her June 16 letter to me, Mrs. Frey states, among other things, that "a public hearing is warranted prior to resumption of safety-related electrical construction at Marble Hill. We...believe that with the croM hility of PSI, the NRC, and the electrical contractor in question... Marble Hill's electrical construction and the remedial work associated with it should be appraised by a group of electrical engineers indepeMent of the Marble Hill community (PSI-NRC), with their report an essential part of the hearing. Verfification of the establishment of an effective OC-GA program by PSI should also be part of the hearing and a prerequisite to continued construction of Marble Hill." Mrs. Frey then asks for my help "in securing a _rublic hearing before an NRC Licensing Board (ASLB)."

I know Mrs. Frey to be a responsible, knowledgeable critic of Marble Hill. I respect her opinions and listen carefully to her counsel; Consequently, I would like to have your answers to the following questions:

Is it possible to have an independent appraisal and a public hearing of the kind Mrs. Frey recommends? If so, how do we go about setting up the appraisal and the hearing? If not, ytat are the impediments?

I look forward to hearing fran you at the earliest opportunity.

With best wishas, I am' Sin 'sl yours, 8309280328 830728 &nb PDR COMMS NRCC CORRESPONDENCE PDR l LEE: H. HAMIL' ire, M.C.
