December 3, 1984 l

Mr. Nunzio Palladino, Chairman United States Nuclear segulatory Cc= mission 1717 E Street, N.W.

Room 1114 Washington, D.C. 20555 Diar Mr. Ch54  :.

an: -

I am writini;r to again express my deep concern that the interests of hundreds of thousands of Long Island residents are being ig-nered in the licensing process at the Shoreham nuclear power station. -,

In recent we'aks the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has moved- per- l captibly closer to bringing Lileo's shoreham facility on line

- with the issuance of Phase I and II . licenses. Unfortunately fo=

, i the citizens and ratepayers of Long Island, neither the State nor County government was afforded the opportunity to present its l views in oral arguments before the 0;mmission. .

l

.once again, as the Cem=ission prepares to decide en Phases III )

. and IV, it appears that the governmental bodies empowered to  !

=cpresent the residents of New York will not be given the chance l to make an oral submission on this critical matter.

It is my sincere hope that the Commission will waste no time in ,

inviting. representatives of both suffolk County and the State of i New York.to appear before the Commission. Whether or not Shoreham <

ever opens, it is the residents of Long Island who will pay bo the social and economic costs associated with this nuclear pow,th er .

plant. Surely, the interests of f airness and ' democracy would j dictate that'their voice be heard.

l' .

l Sihcarely yours,
