Dear Si.r :

It io my underotanding that radioactive iodine has been found in the milk of a dairy farm near the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station.

Suapin of milk were taken from neighboring farms on I.Iay 13 and j

again this evening, a comewhat unusual occurance.

When I called a similar incident to your attention on July 29, 1974, your August 14 reply attributed elevated levels of radioiodine to atmocpheric tecting of nuclear devices by the Chinece. I have not read of any reports of recent atmospheric tests and therefoco would appreciate your advice concerning thiz most recent event.

Yours r"trulN,
