Dear Ms. Osborn:
I received your letter and as I have mentioned before both Dr. G. LaRoche and I are still interested in meeting with you to examine some of the plant abnormalities you have brought to our attention.
In your letter you spoke of inviting Dr. James Gunckel on the field trip.
We encourage you to include Dr. Gunckel; however, we are not in a position to pay for his traveling or other expenses.
Either Dr. LaRoche or I will give you a call next week concerning the possibility of getting together in the near future.
Attached is a copy of Dr. LaRoche's professional qualifications; also, EEB is the initials of Dr. LaRoche's organization - the Environmental Engineering Branch.
We have added your name to the distribution list for the Advisory Panel.
Sincerely,
/s/
Michael i. Masnik, Ph.D.

i PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS 1
4-Dr. Germain LaRoche U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission Washington, D.C.
As a Land Use Analyst in the Terrestrial Resources Section of the Environmental Engineering Branch of the Division of Engineering, USNRC I evaluate the potential environmental impact on terrestrial ecosystems and land use.
Prior to being employed by the NRC I was director of Terrestrial Ecology for a private consulting finn for three years.
In this capacity I directed and conducted baseline studies of proposed nuclear or fossil fuel power plants, and large urban and recreational developments.
For ten years I taught at colleges, attaining the rank of Associate Professor of Biology. These colleges were:
Empire State College, Albany, N.Y.; State University College at New Paltz, N.Y.; Manhattan College and Bronx Community College, Bronx, N.Y.;
and Holyoke Community College Holyoke, Massachusetts. Among the graduate and/or undergraduate courses I taught were Ecology, Plant Physiology, Plant Taxonomy and General Biology.
i have also conducted forest and range manage-ment research with the U.S. Forest Service in Florida for 2 years.
I received the Ph.D degree in Botany-Plant Ecology from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1969, the M.S. in the same areas from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. in 1958, and the B.A. in Biology from The Catholic University of America in 1957.
In 1950 I graduated from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture of the University of Massachusetts as a a Floriculture major.
I have also attended the following Symposia and Institutes:
- Coastal Happing Using Remote Sensing
- Biological Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
- Land Capability Classification and Integrated Inventories for Land-Use Planning
- Physiological Adaptation to the Environment
- Primary Productivity and Mineral Cycling in Natural Ecosystems
- Environmental Analysis Workshop
- Remote Sensing for Natural Resources
- Rare and Endangered Plant Species
- Energy Sensitive Land Development
- Bayosian Reliability Analysis
- Intergrated County Level Data
