Dear Mr. Pham:

Since completing its purchase of Indian Point from the New York Power Authority and Consolidated Edison, Entergy has invested millions of dollars into improving Indian Point.I have seen dramatic improvements in the areas of security, emergency planning and overall operations.

Entergy places a major emphasis on safety, and I often attend training sessions and pre-job briefings specifically about safely performing tasks and goals.indian Point has.Certainly,-seen-its share of challenges over the years, but we have remained on an upward performance trend since being purchased by Entergy, and I expect this to continue well into the future.Entergy is also a good community neighbor, sponsoring many important events out in the neighborhoods around Indian Point. Many of my neighbors and friends comment about Entergy being everywhere they go.. .and that's a good thing.I also strongly believe this area would never be the same if this site were to close. Many people depend upon Indian Point for jobs, taxes for schools, cheap electricity for their homes and businesses, and it's good for the environment, too.I urge you to support the relicensing of Indian-Point.

Sincerely, Jo,, U L.0
