April 17,1997

Dear Dr. Jackson:

Please stop Louisiana Energy Services (LES) from constructing and operating a uranium l

enrichment facility between the low income and African American communities of l

Forest Grove and Center Springs, Louisiana.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Licensing Board just recently ruled that:

l (1) LES has not demonstrated any genuine need for the facility; l

(2) the conso-tium is not financially qualified *a co utruct and operate the proposed plant; and (3) LES failed to set aside sufficient funds to dispose of the estimated 100,000 tons of toxic radioactive waste.

We want environmentaljustice! Uphold and support the decisions of the NRC's Licensing Board and refuse to license the LES uranium enrichment facility. Your help with this matter is critical to breaking America's shameful pattern oflocating polluting facilities in our low income neighborhoods and communities of color.

.'icerely, i
