Dear Mr. Chairman and Commissioners:

]hq 9hhm, ,

the opportunity to present oral argument before .the Cn 4 sgg{.

as to why 2 low power license should not be issued for t h_N 4; ;,

L Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant. The To j.i request by the County of Suffolk. State was joined date,-the commissi in $g ihas:'p,p3;. q not raioonded. ,

fg ,

New York State has within its jurisdiction severalsespasti g g ,,.

nuclear power plants. To provide protection'for the public's; w i safety, thera must be a re).ationship_of__ openness and cooperation between the Commission and the State.. The Shoreham licensing... i proceeding is thus a litmus test of that relationship and of how the Commission views the public's interests and the voice of .

elected governments.

The opposition of New York State and Suffolk County to issuance of a low power license for shoreham is deeply rooted ip i law, good sense, and compelling 2.ogic. I can conceive of no s r= = =n rt that would %stify the casamission foreeleti na tha public's representatives from presenting their positions nnrougn ora.6 ,, ,,

argument, nor any reason the Commission would not seine the opportunity to benefit from personal dialogue at such a session. .

^

• Accordingly, given the significance of the shoreham low power" license to the people of New York State, I hereby. request that!th4 opportunity be afforded my special Counsel to appear personally before your Commission and orally argue in opposition.

the issuance of such a license.

e truly yours,
