With your pe rmiss ion, I would like to resign my appointment e f fective Feb rua ry 13, 1986.
The nex t Panel me ting on Feb ruary 12 would be my last mee t ing.
It is with reg re t that I am re signing.
The Panel se rves as an e f fective bridge between the citizens around TMI a nd the Commission.
I am pleased to have se rved in that capacity and have ve ry much enjoyed working with the o the r m3mbers of the Panel under the leadersh ip of Mayor Mor r is.
I am sure the Pane 1 could bene fit from an occasional turnover in the membership as pre sented by th is oppor tunity.
It is my belie f that the c lea nup ac t iv it ie s a re proceeding as smoothly as can be expected given the complex na ture o f the job.
With Mr. K intner and Mr. S tande r fe r ma nag ing the cle anup, I have confidence that it will be comple ted in a time ly a nd sa fe manner.

' The re is only one ou tstand ing item on wh ich I wou ld like to comment -- na me ly, the di sposition of the cleanup wa te r.
Wh ile I have confidence tha t it can and will be cleaned to a leve l whe re it could be re lea sed without -
physical danger to the public from the re ma in ing rad ionuclide s, the s tre ss this would produce in the -
community is likely to be severe.
When the t ime come s to dispose o f the wa ter,' I 'thus recommend ' tha t you g ive the greatest weight to the recommendations of the political rep re sen ta t ive s in the TMI area with regard to 'its d isposit ion.
Re spec t fu lly you rs,
