dAlBORNE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD 7 p.O. BOX 270 HOMER, LOUISIANA 71040 318 927 2222 f
August 20,1997 Chairman Shirley Jackson U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Chairman Jackson:
We have written you twice previously regarding licensing of Louiuana Energy Services to construct and operate its proposed Claibome Enrichment Center in Claibome Parish, Louisiana, to enrich uranium for use in nuclear fuel. This letter is not to rehash previous statements, but rather to indicate support in Claibome Parish for construction and operation of the proposed plant.
A sampling of this support is indicated by the attached signatures. Many persons have indicated their distress that this great opportunity for our parish might be lost because of a spurious claim of environmental racism. Because of this, Claibome Economic Development Board has made available to them this means of submitting their signatures to indicate their confidence in the proposed plant and their desire to see Louisiana Energy Services' appeal approved and licensing issued.
Persons whose signatures are attached are residents of the Towns of Haynesville and Homer, Villages of Athens, Lisbon and Summerfield, and communities of Arizona, Antioch, Aycock, Blackbum, Center Springs, Colquitt, Forest Grove, Gordon, Hurricane, Marsalis, Pine Hill, Ruple, Sharon, Standpipe, Weldon and White Oak, all in Claibome Parish. Both black and white persons are included.
If denial of licensing for Claibome Enrichment Center because of the unsupported claim of environmental racism is allowed to stand, incalculable harm will be done to future efforts toward economic development in our parish, throughout 1.ouisiana, and possibly anywhere there is an appreciable number of African-American citizens. We plead for realjustica through approval of Louisiana Energy Services' appeal.
Yours very truly, James T. Taylor, President
