Dear President Kennedyt ,

]

', It is high time. for the seenbers of the Atomic Emergy C== lesion to take off their radiometive halos, douse their heads in a eeelant, and then soberly cohsider how the people's rights are being trampled on here in Sonona County, t.md how the A.E.C. is contributing to this undemocratic proceedure.

Citizens fighting to keep a nuclear plant away from Bodega Bay do ".

not believe that justies is being served if misrepres6st&tibn by county officials is compounded.by the autonomous power of tbs A.E.C.

- ' Nor de Sorwina county aitizens believe that ' jurisdictional' ozesses by the A.E.C. can justify the A.E.C. 's role in this affala=- especially when they join forces with the Pacific Gas and Electrie Company.

Yne A.E.C.'s 'eenditional approval

  • of P.G.&E's plans is the first visual evidence of this power combine. This " conditional' approval" makes a mockery of the upcoming hearings by the A.E.C. and has given P.O.&E. the right to gamble a large sum of money en road construction. This earth-moving by P.G.kE. is a great Psychological weapon. It convinces some of the public that the battle is already, ~

over and thereby lowers their resistance.

The A.E.C.'s views on the proximity of the San Andreas Fault were sonspieuous by their absence until Secretary Udall awoke them. The San Andreas Fault can no more change its dangerous habits than a 1eopard can its spots and me same geologist or seismologist doubts its state of activity or its rupturing strength. Yet the A.E.C.

graated P.G.hE. conditional approval of a site lyin6 a somm$r 1,000 feet west of this Fault. This short distance means mething to the world's largest Fault, whose awesome power in 1906 destroyed downtoum San Frameisce over seven miles smay, sad sinutaneomsly

  • demolished Santa Besa lying twenty miles te the east of Bodega Head.

Furthermore, the formation upon which the foundation for the propeeed plant would rest is so poor that it is hard to believe that members of the U.S. Geological Survey will be able to keep a straight face when they examine it.

Perhaps the members of the A.E.C. as individuals actually pity us

but, like aton-powered robots, can de little about it; their ocurse is predetermined, their,tamm smiles of sympathy are metallie, the laws that control their' movements are rigid, and their program is beyond interruption by the citizen fighting for his safety and his landseape. -
