Dear Senator faaskies i

First of all let me compliment you for teking an interest in the information revealed by the Radiaticu scientists at the Lawrence Lob.

at the Univ. of Calif. ??cmely-that 32,000 extra concer deaths will result in

{

the U.S. each year if the A.R.C stendards of Ibclear Pollution cre ellowed to 2

contirue unchecked. I am referring to the article in Time lbgozine-Jon 4th p

issue, pege 49 I hope thct you will look into this grove situation thoroly.

We have e fbelenr power plent-the f*.onticello Plent, just-4 40 miles north of the Twin Uities - which hasocen the conter of a contmver::y for severel years The state hired a consultant. 5'rnest Tsivoglou of Gmrcio Tech. to study the situation.- He recoended.01/]00ths of the amunt of I

I nuclear pollution ellowed by tha A. I'. C.. The state of Minn..hns now lost its I

j case. Our only hope is the Congress nill enact a low ttiot will alloa the I

states to set their own oefety stendords to protect. the citizens.

A i

I plead with you for the sake of over 2 million-people in Minneapolis and St. Paul. not to mention p*ople all the wcy down the

(

Mississippi Rivar who will be affected by tht!. decision-pleose try to j

gat some-legisletion which will stop the !"onticello Plant from operating et i

full capacity within 30 days. We already know of the high incidence of cono.

and leukemia in southern Washington 2n: and northern Oregon from the Mtn ferd' I

thclear Plant out there end also the same situotion in northern f

  • inn.. fron the

(

j Canedian plant which pollutes the water supply in northern Minn.

Until we 1:now l

more about the results of such pollution the power companies should be tcSe ::

clean up the water eupply before it leaves the p cat. It con be done. Plerse P L

me heer from you. I em a very concerned citizen.
