Dear Joe:

d I must, unfortunately, complain to you about the un- {

responsiveness of your staff. 1 Ii On July 9, 1979, I requested an on-site study of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant in Suffolk County. On July 13th, i I received the standard acknowledgement promising " prompt j attention". On September 26th, I received a totally un- l responsive and wholly inadequate letter that did nothing more g than explain the existing licensing regulations for nuclear power plants. Cn October 15, 1979, I again wrote to request .

an on-site study and, on October 26th, I received again the

" prompt attention" acknowledgement. I have enclosed copies of this correspondence for your information.

I am greatly disturbed at the cavalier manner with which my request was treated. It certainly should have been  ;

possible to respond in a substantive manner or, at the very j least, to explain why such a response could not be formulated. '

l l

In light of recent events there is renewed interest in  !

my district in the overall question of nuclear power and the -

!

safety of the Shoreham plant in particular. I would, therefore i greatly appreciate your personally reviewing my original [

r request that is now over fcur months old.
