Dear Mr. Denton:

By letter dated November 14, 1984, the Long Island Lighting Company requested that you tra'nsmit to FDIA materials intended "to support a graded exercise which LILCO is planning for the week of February 11, 1985." This is to advise you that Suffolk County is opposed to any such exercise and that the NRC should in no way promote, assist, or concur in such an exercise over thn.- objections of this County govern-ment.

LILCO's implementation of its offsite emergency plan would be unlawful under the Constitution and laws of the State of New York.

Both Suffolk County and New York State have filed lawsuits against LILCO in State Supreme Court in order to secure a conclusive order to that effect. In our view, therefore, LILCO's exercise of its plan would be in pursuit of an unlawful objective. I would also stress that it would be an insult to the people and govern-ment of Suffolk County.

Given the posture of the Shoreham case before the courts and the NRC, as well as the continuing position of this County that effec-tive emergency preparedness for a nuclear accident at Shoreham is impossible, we ask that you reject LILCO's request to forward any exercise materials to FDIA and that you refrain from taking any steps which contribute to an intrusion by LILCO into the police powers of Suffolk County. For your information, I am enclosing a copy of a letter written by President Reagan which expresses the Administration's position.

Si cerely you s,
