O O A STATEMENT PASED OH A STUDY OF NUCLEAR PL9.3T8 Pago 4 Como portions of thia atatomont are quotoa from the Citi:: ens Ocmmittce for the Pronorvation of the Environmont, to which I an ondobted.

Back in 19G8, whon Davidt a Ialand was purchnaed frem Non Rochollo, on Long Ialand Sound by Con Edison, a rathSr singalar statumont van bandled around "that the ensnnous amount that Ocn Edison vould pay in taxon on Davidt a. Island, uculd draatically cut the hemocimort a taxon, and bo ccmo a litoral savoir to the racidents in grantly loworod tax biton', and I am now wondorirs if cuoh a swoot song as this has nov boon heard in Shoro-hqa on tln Sound? If it haa; than think twico bufore you jump at cen-o) unions. Also, it must bs admitted, tht the fino artist work en the brochura describing the now propoaod intolear plant at Shorobam, raa a nactorpicco that noat surely gone well nith the feminino portion of the local residenta, for it la they that delight in cuch bonutifdl thinga au that 67.orious bluo building; the grocn tro oa and chabbory; tbt wondoiw fully c1wded nky; the quiot watora and mcdern building design. But; and I repont,but; in all that beauty of propoacd nuclear plant, tharo might rQ atill lurk a cma31er vorcion of the atom benb that did cuch tramond-our damago to Hiroshima and Nagaaacki. And right hero I vculd ask: Jun t -

why han Indian Point plant boon shut down for almost a nonth??? Can wo havo tho ananor to that?

Frcen what no road in the statonent of that fomous acientiat; David Lili..

unthaL. who duoply ecebos thn proliferation of 7:ncicar plants, % a one of the uglicat c1 cuda to ovorhang America,' as woll na the vast ampunta of concern over what wo ha.vo alroady soon occur in prosent nucloar planta, in variouo parta of tho U.S., is la n?t possiblo that a groat many of the real answorn involving nuclear planta are atill unsolved, in which caso can wo pormit oursolvoa to bo enticod to " pull the rabbit cut of tha bag sight unocon instead of renomboring voll the signa en cur railroad croca inga: STOP - LOOK - LISTEN. GD IN OTHER AREAS: PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

layod in this phaco of modern In connection to Ohnology, many with the of na partboon haWn many of na branded ashave p'ubtra concorvationists; g 111aa,"and plish is the what have you," but actually what no havo boon trying to accom-naving of your and our lives and those of cur loved onoa;

%ntrol tha pollution of our air; cur land and cur ratora; and what flica; walka; anima er 11 von in all throoi WHATtS WROEG UITH THAT?

Wo will anxiously await tho TRUE AUSUERS THAT WE FEEL MUST BE FORTHCOMING ,

IN THIS GiSE.
