Dear Mr. Laurenson:

As residents of Long Island and concerned citizens, we are writing to you to express our outrage at your granting a 5% low-power testing license for the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant (owned by the Long Island Lighting Co.).

We are sure you are aware that in granting this license, the N.R.C. has virtually ignored its own regulation -- by allowing an emergency plan sub-mitted by a private company, i.e., LILCO to substitute for that of a duly elected government. Peter F. Cohalan IS NOT, in and of himself, a duly elected government. As a matter of fact, this very matter is now in litigation. It is apparent to all that Mr. Cohalan has overstepped his authority.

As for the A.S.&L. Board, we believe you have acted very irresponsibly.

And in this case, you've made a most dangerous move. .Long Islanders have never faced a crisis as farreaching as this one. No emergency evacuation plan can give Long Island residents real protection. This license has been granted while the evacuation plan issue is still unresolved. Is it your intention to grant the license and then, therefore, expect the Suffolk County Legislature to approve the evacuation plan because atheir hands are tied"?

Over the years the issue of Shoreham has been very depressing -- as LIIf0 has challenged not only our health and prosperity, but our constitutional right to secure our own safe future. However, recently there has been too much political " whitewashing'. Apparently if LILCO can't get its own way playing by the rules, they'll change the rules.

We strongly urge you to please support the appeal of the Suffolk County legislature on this licensing decision. Help us regain our faith in our representative government.

Thank ;you.

Very truly yours, Et - -
