Q.
. When did you first learn about the Red Cross and LILCO proposal to use East Meadow Union Free School District buildings to shelter Shoreham evacuees?
I first became aware of the proposal by '.he Red Cross A.
and LILCO only recently,..following LILCO's proposal to use the

to have been approved by the East Meadow Union Free School District Board of Education, upon the recommendation of the District Superintendent.
No such approval has been granted.
On 2
February 12, 1985, I wrote Frank M. Rasbury, Executive Director a
of the Nassau County Chapter of the American Red Cross, to inform him of this fact and to advise that there is therefore no basis for either the Red Cross or LILCO to assume that evacuees would be sheltered in our School District's buildings during an emergency at Shoreham.
A copy of my February 12 letter is Attachment 1 to this testimony.
In addition, on February 15, Dr. Howard M. Koenig, the District Superintendent of East Meadow School District, formally advised the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that notwithstanding there is no agree-the representations of the Red Cross and LILCO, ment between the East Meadow School District and the Red Cross or LILCO which permits the use of school facilities to shelter-evacuees in the event of a radiological emergency at Shoreham.

However, that agreement was limited to the use of School District buildings as shelters during natural disasters, and did not grant the Red Cross or LILCO permission to use such buildings as shelters pursuant to LILCO's proposed plan to deal with a radiological emergency at Shoreham.
In addition, the agreement has never been renewed or even discussed by the School Board, the District Superintendent or me since 1978, and, in my view, is not in effect To my knowledge, neither the Red Cross nor LILCO at this time.

I am unable to understand how LILCO and the Red Cross Therefore, can presume that the buildings of the East Meadow Union Free School District would be available for their use during an emergency at Shoreham.
Given the complete lack of any attempt by LILCO or the Red Cross to contact the East Meadow School District concerning h ther their proposal to use School District property, I question w e available to them sufficient in fact, LILCO and the Red Cross have, All but a shelters for evacuees during a Shoreham emergency.

I have since learned.that many other so-called " contact" people on the Red Cross' list are no longer even associated with their respective school districts.
In at least one case, the contact person has been deceased for four years.
In other cases, the contacts listed by the Red Cross have not been associated with their school districts for five years or more because, for example, of retirement.

Rasbury Executive Director Nassau County Chapter of the American Red Cross 264 Old Country Road Mineola, New York 11501
Dear Mr. Rasbury:
It has recently come to my attention that, in official testimony before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, you outlined a relationship which requires East Meadow Union Free School District to offer our facilities to the Red Cross in the event of an accident of the Shoreham Nuclear Plant which necessitates evacuation of the population.
As I understand it, the basis of your claim is an agreement signed by East Meadow in 1978 which in the indicates our willingness to cooperate with the Red Cross i
event of a natural disaster,.
Please be advised that East Meadow School District is under no obligation, contractual or otherwise, for the use of our schools in the wake of a radiological accident at Shoreham.
The original agreement with the Red Cross specifically omits
" man-made" disasters including those of a radiological nature.
Prudence, if not respect for the agreement which you referenced before the NRC, should have compelled you to contact me before describing the relationship between the Red Cross and the East Meadow Union Free School District.
O There are numerous reasons which make our school system inappropriate for use in the event of a radiological emergency; I will not elaborate as you have expressed no direct
- however, interest in these factors.
For your information, in East Meadow a proposal to consider participation in an emergency response plan for Shoreham would be subject to a f act-finding, discussion and decision-making process which involves the Superintendent of 1
Schools and the Board of Education.
is troublesome that you list me and Claude Stringham, It a custodian in one of our buildings, as " contact" persons Mr.
regarding use of our schools in the event of an emergency.
Stringham has no districtwide responsibility nor administrative Mr. Stringham has authority regarding use of our schools.
indicated to me that he possesses no knowledge of you or this Have you ever contacted me regarding emergency matter.
Have you contacted me for any reason?
My records preparedness?
reflect an absence of conversation or communication with you or In the event of a the American Red Cross on these matters.
in the absence of contact between the Red Cross natural-disaster, I must question the readiness to respond and our school district, l
.to any emergency.
Upon telephoning a number of my colleagues in other it appears that you failed to specify that they school systems, to participate in a radiological have no contractual agreement emergency at Shoreham and that contact regarding this matter has never been initiated by the Red Cross.
You are requested to take immediate steps to modify your the reality of the
- testimony before the NRC to reflect relationship between the Red Cross and the East Meadow Union Free l'
School District.
Sincerely, I-f t'

Dear Mr. Margulies:
I have recently become aware of the fact that the American Red Cross and the Long Island Lighting Company have, in official testimony before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, designated the facilities of East Meadow Union Free School District as a " congregate care center" in connection with the utility's evacuation plan for the Shoreham Nuclear Plant.
Apparently, the basis of this claim is an agreement signed by East i
Meadow in 1978 which indicates our willingness to cooperate with l
the Red Cross in the event of a natural disaster.
l Please be advised that the East Meadow School District is under no obligation, contractual or otherwise, for the use of our schools in the event of a radiological accident at Shereham.
Neither the Red Cross nor Lilco has contacted us regarding this matter and their presentation to the NRC is, therefore, a misrepresentation of the truth.
l In addition, the Governor of the State of New York has determined that the State of New York will not participate in the implementation of the Lilco designed and Red Cross sponsored evacuation plan and has characterized Lilco's plan as illegal in that the Corporation astumes powers norcally reserved to gove rnment..
On-behalf of the East Meadow Board of Education, which I am advising you commenced this letter through official vote, that the facilities of East Meadow Schools will not be available to the American Red Cross or Lilco for implementing the Lilco evacuation plan and that we have not entered into any agreement for the use of our schools for purposes of monitoring,
. decontamination, or relocat on in the event of an emergency at i
Shoreham.
