Dear Mr. Keppler:

I' have concerns about the Palis ades Plant operating under Mr. DeWitts directions.

While he was here I have heard that

- 6 things were swept under the table.

I have heard that a dredge from Charlevoix was ordered to dredge out the harbor before inspections.

I I wish you would ' contact Dr. Richard Webb' who worked at the Big Roc}: Plant in the late 60s and feels he lost his job because he spoke out about what was happening.

His address is 1923 Maxwell, Bloomington, Indi an,a, 1-812-339-5024 I appreciate your determination to protect the public.

The more that is learned about the dangers of radiation, the more grave the problem becomes certainly.
