Washington, D.C.

Dear Chairman Carr:
This letter will confirm the conversations between my office and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (N.R.C.)
and Philadelphia today. The discussions related to the 1978in Washington spi]l of radioactive material at the Nine Mile Point I nuclear plant-in the town of Scriba, New York.
From press accounts, a team from the Philadelphia regional office is already at the site, operating as an_ augmented inspection _ team under the direct orders of N.R.C.
Region I Administrator William T. Russell.
Several citizens from my district have voiced concern over this " accident" and the condition of both Nine Mile Point plants I & II. I have assured them that the N.R.C. would conduct a thorough investigation of the problem, a test of the waters in the affected area, and that aincluding public report would be made available as quickly as possible.
I'm sure we would agree that facts, not rumors, are this time. Mr. Russell indicated to my staff necessary at that several problems needed to be evaluated involving Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation and N.R.C.
regulations.
I would, therefore, respectfully request the opportunity to review the findings of your staff after they have returned from their inspection. tlc puolic's rignt to know is of paramount importance in this matter.
