Dear Dr. Seaborg:

(6{ To date I do not helieve the AEC has made any sort of stat'ement' re-y p 2 g this plant. Is there a h te committee therefor, which would have the authority to look into this matter for the usual "little people" who can't seem to get any clear answers? (7) The Bodega Head area was supposed to'be set aside as a public recrea-tion area, the 'only exception to be a marine laboratory erected by the University of California. How did PG&E acquire the cite? I understand that Secretary Udall has.now expressed interest in tho' Bodega Head project, but<I also feel,that a Senate inquiry could do much to W.h. - relieve.the anxiety of citizens in the. entire Califomia Bay Area. Thank you so much for your patienen. The reason this letter is addressed to you rather than to Califorr:ia's' duly e~lected representatives is that I'm the only member who " knew you once" and the other gentlemen are, surely being flooded by other coristituents. Also, there have been many times ih the ~ - past I, wished I had the opportunity or reason to write just to say hello again. Sincsrely yours, 3 .m%m. Hermina Girsoif ;p'. - s 'e j 'a ' !l n s ,,4,'.
