Dear Mr. Pesonen:

ne:d'n,,4,,

O g

This is in reply to your letter of April 5,1963.

y At the publio Utilities Cosmaission hearing, I carefully esplaimed that I took so official position as te whether Pacific ens and niectrio ny -WM be authorised to construct a power plant in Marin-Sonoma area, or, if it were to he so authorised, whether that plant should be at modega need.

You have repeatedly ignored this important part of my statessent while reciting the remaining portion.

l in which I stated that, if a power plant ca modega mood l

were to be authorised, then I favored its being nuaiser l

rather than fossil-fueled.

Extracting out of contest the l

le statessent that "I as testifying on behalf of the cation" is a gross distortion of what I said.

ap i.

J i

You st=narly distort what I said in santa Rosa, where I repeated the qualifying remarks outlined above.

At that meeting I replied to a question as to whether the Govsroor kasw of my views and, if so, what his attitude was, by 1

stating that I had discussed the anatter with him and I

Dr. a==wg and that his acceptance of my stand was implied by his actions'.

The conversatioel.ia' question took place while the Governor and his party were en route to welcome the W. 8. 54ghuuh5 on its arrival in San Francisco in November 1962 It oonaisted of a briefing by me as to the facts of the matter --

the same facts that you have heard me state on a member of oomaions when we have met in person at public meetings, on radio, and on TV - and soms beief comments by Dr. seaborg.

'J Mr. David E.

Peoonen page 2 The Governor made no comunitment but was made aware of the position I was *= Hag, a position that is supported by the entire history of our national effort in atomic energy development, by the California Atende Energy Development and Radiation Protection Law, and by the vast majority of scientists.

That the Governor found no fault with this position, which I had consistently adopted, is evident from Mr. varley's letter of septa =he 28, 1962, to Mr. Heilands, in which it was affirmed that " state agencies involved have acted properly and in accordance with established law."

To convert the Governor's understanding of the problem into the misstatement that he "had agreed that the facility should go forward" is to ignore any proper concern he might have had, then or now, as to whether a power plant should be placed os modega mead.

At a recent press conference, the Governor was asked, "in view of the public opposition to the modega any power plant develop-ment...., do you think this private company should hold off development?"

As you will note, the question did not relate to the nuclear power aspects; and the Governor replied that he had listened to the arguments but had reached ras conclusion.

Whatever conclusion he may eventually reach with res'ect to p

the merits of placing a power plant at modega Head will lie in the area that I have consistently avoided discussing.

In respect to the use of nuclear power in California, the caos in favor of it is clear from the record, as the Public Utilities Coumission recognized.

Sincerely A1...d.r acendon l

!ith rogard to the policy of the State of California con =

corning the nuclear power plant proposed by the Pacifio '

j Cas and Electric Company at Hodega Day, this association 1

uos1d very much appreciate your answers to the questions pocod below.

Concerning whether the plant should be nuclear or conven-tionally fueled, your testinony at the California Publio Utilities Comnicaion honrings c= a certiciata of public convenience and nocessity for the proposed fadility stated (CF(IC App. 43303. Tr. 466):

"I want it understood that I n= testifying os bahnit of the application of tuo company."'

At a public meeting held by tso 3cnona County Central

]

De=ocratio Consittee in Canta Roca on 5 Harch 1963, it was j

noted that the Governor has made r.o public state:nont either in behalf of or in opposition to the proposed Bodega facility.

In light of this, you were asked if you were officially in favor bf the facility.

Your answer was an unambiguous

~

yce.

You were then nahed if this official position stem-ced from any expiacit or ispiied approval of your position by the Governor hicaelf.

You replied to tne effect that at a private meeting--attonced by the Governor, Atomic Energy Conniccica Chairman Glonc ?. Goeborg, and yourself-the osvorsor had agrded that the facility should go forward.

This ccomunt of the excnango at the 5 March meeting in Santa Itosa is drawn fron personal conversations with three individunla who were present at the meeting and whose re=

coe.ntings of the exchan:;,o are in substantist agreement.

This asspuistion would approciate a formal reply at your e:rliest convenience con:erning the exact nature of tr.e

=r.e ting you described, as'aketched above.

When did it take picco? What formal or informal ayeements care arrived at? -
