Dear Dr. Seaborg:

4 NJ.4 '

3 I have been following for many months, ilhave read much of the available testimony concerning a proposed nuclear generating plant at Bodega Head, in Sonoma County, California.

(

This has become one of the most controversial issues of the decade on its own merits, even if there were not a vital conservation factor involved.

While the preservation of naturalassets was the first factor which drew my attention to Bodega, it soon became apparent that the proposed atomic plant itself has become a paramount subject.

It is unquestionably known to you that this plant is increasingly widely opposed, both for its potential inherent hazards and because of its certain cdverse effects on the natural values of immediately adjacent environments.

At this time, it is not only the west coast conservationist who is con-cerned, but also his many counterparts in the Midwest and elsewhere as wall.

You are probably aware also that the California State I.egislature had f

appropriated a large sum of money with which to add Bodega to the state park system, and I am sure that to send you a copy of Mr. William Bennett's opinion on the atom plant versus the ecologic value of the same general ersa would be mere redundancy in your office.

Mr. Bennett also turns his ettention, of course, on a question of justice because of the way in which some of the related hearings were conducted--or not conducted.

In my opinion, this atom plant should not be permitted; and part of this opinion is based on a detailed first hand visit this cummer to the Bodega crea, during which tue I had the opportunity to see the whole area and I

to discuss the issuT Msidents at random.

Dr. Seaborg, have you talked

/

with any of those people?

The reaction is only a single hair short of op:n violence.
