low that you have the U.S.G.3. report on Bodega, why don't you stop this l

^ ' . 7' Cga farcet The San Andress fault and i.G.&3.'s mistako cannot be removed with an erasor.

Nor os.n your mistake of not taking careful cppraisal of the situation when you I entered tnis affair. l l

l I do not oppose tho,potentici benefits of nuclent ;ower but I do oppose this ,

crash program of foolish siting and rockless s;endind which you are attempting to JnoucWrates and which the cloctric cocpanies so heartily applaud. Secretary I*camara slowed down your overambitious plans minly for reasons of economy, and secretary (11all has warnod you about the dancer 'of permitting a nuclear plant to be built on 3odoca Esad. These actions should make yos realize that it is time to pull your head out of the atomic pot and look around. It is time to re.

examine your policy. And it is tica for you to show more respect and considerat.

I ion for the common citison - his safety, his money, his recreation, and his i

land.

1 All these values are at stake in tho Bodoga case.

Sincerely.. .
