This could be no further from the truth and is certainly repugnant to us who have worked locally , to build a Democratic organization in California from the days rhen we have no local or state Democratic representation. As .. matter of fact, Mr. Tom B.

_..~ _._ y. __ l n:7,. 9 3 i ~ The. President August 26, 1964-i In the past primary election they castigated and maligned two tremendously fine Democrats in the State ~of Californ'ia, Jesse Unruh and Pierre Salinger. The Board of Directors of the California Democratic Council refused to endorse fifteen elected Democratic officials; they fought tooth and nail in the most uncompromising manner to defeat Pierre Salinger. i The nomination by an overwhelming vote of Pierre Salinger l E--i should prove beyond a doubt that Mr. Carvey and'the Directors of the CDC no longer recresent the rank and file Democrats in the i State of California and they probably should resign. They refused c. to endorse the Speaker of the Assembly, Jesse Unruh, who, in my y _; opinion, has carried forth a state Democratic program unexcelled in the history of this country and which is showing the leadership e. for programs for the people of the Stateto be' followed by_ every [qs other state in the union. e.'q {ij In regard to Mr. Carvey's " Democratic beliefs", I uish f' 4 to advise you that our organization has requested an opportunity to appear many times before either his directors or ccanittees r- , (. and they have absolutely refused to so do. u, - i' : The Bodega Bay project is only unpopular with a very l p.,j few people. The Bodega Bay nuclea'r plant is not a political; {ig issue, only as Mr. Carvey has tried to make it so. The development i pqg of atcmic energy at Bodega Bay, as well as throughout the country, 'sgq ,is a non-partisian program and it is important to the safety and welfare of all of the-people of this country. The majority of p=yg the Democratic Ocntral Committee of Sonoma County, in which this s project is to be located, are members of this~ organization. = l 6:C 1 tPe Thus far, Mr. Carvey and his group have been able to i 3'{ hinder this effort by maligning every individual involved, from 4 j our local Planning Commission' and the Board of Supervisors to the Atomic Energy Commission and the Joint Congressional. Committee on Atouic Energy. One of their greatest single diatribes was k 1 against Senator John Pastore, recent key note speaker of the t__j Democratic convention, who spoke previously in California at the dedication of pne of our atomic plants. i \\ ~ I wish to state that every responsible State organization 'n the State of.

Dear Mr. President:
m ;.- Although ours is not a political organization, we do echo the o _.j request contained in a letter to you from Mr.. Tom B. Carvey, hi= [ President of the California Democratic Council, wherein he sought y your interest in the matter of an application to the Atomic Energy b 1 Commission by Pacific Gas and Electric Company-for construction ,8 of a nuclear power plant on Bodega Head, Bodega Bay, California. . g. 7 One of the last official actions of our beloved Clair Engle, U.S. Senator, was introduction of a joint resolution (SJ Res. 167) i ri which called for official action and study on this matter. p#- Congressman Don Clausen,1st District - California, has publicly opposed this facility. A host of other state and national repres-Fc entatives and members of both major political parties have gone on ' ( record in opposition to the proposed plant at this site. %p 1 The basis of objections of our organization, and we are represent- ) r j ative of the feelings of the majority of citizens in this area, i.s briefly as follows:
- p..
1. P.G. & Ets rash persistence is casting a shadow on the entire _._V, nuclear program in' California. In view of reports of the U. S. Geologic Survey and other expert geologists and seis- . L. t 0 ) nologists indicating geologic and seismic hazards of the L 4 reactor site on Bodega Head; the company's conduct is t___!, irresp'onsible and has caused an awareness of the deficiencies-1 intthe present policies of the A.E.C. T 2. Conservation. A review of the proposed site will show you it is a very choice spot for recreation on the California Coast, and that power lines from the plant would traverse beautiful beach land at Doran Park. Incidentally, the company has stated it can not place the power linec under-j ground since the lines would cross the San Andreas fcult at this location. 3. We are convinced that the lives, health and safety cf "crthe:- Californians (not just in this area, but for many miles distant) would be jeopardized by an atomic plant atop an earthquake fault and within 1000 feet of the San Andreas Fault, the world's most dangerous. iL_._._,,_.__._._._.__-..._,,_.,..,

Clausen today urged the chairran of the Atomic Energy Commission to assure that "all groups and individuals" will be permitted to testify at the AEC's hearings in Santa Posa on the proposed Bodega Head nuclear power plant. "Such a procedure, in my opinion, is the only acceptable mcthed by which to arrive at an enlightened decision b'ased on all of the facts," Clausen said in a setter to Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, chairman of the AEC. Clausen said his talks with officials of the AEC and U. S. Ocological Survey indicate that the AEC's Santa Rosa hearings will be held "probably in late August or September." The hearings are being held to determine whether the AEC should grant a permit to Pacific 1 Cas and Electric Co. to construct the power plant. AEC officials said announcement of the hearings would 'be mede af ter it receives a report from U. S. Geological Survey regarding certhquake f aults, mainly the major San Andreas fault, in the immediate vicinity of the proposed atomic power plant location. When this report is completed, the AEC is required to give 30 days notice l ( to the public in, netting the dates of the hearings. Cinusen said he had received scores of letters from j constituents who c.re convinced th:t construction of the power plant a is either 4angerous or unnecessary. "A full and fair hearing to bring out all argucents and evidence on both sides is necessary to assure that the AEC arrives at the correct decision," Clausen said. l A copy of Clausen's letter to Seaborg follows: 1 Honorable Glenn Seaborg, Chaittan Atomit Energ Commicsion Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Dr. Seaborg:
