i Dear Dr. Seaborgt l t

One of my constituents, Miss Susan .

Fowler of North Hampton, New Hampshire, has j  !

sent me the attached copy of a letter of hers '

shich recently appeared in the Portsmouth l

Herald. In this letter to the Herald she has "

set forth some concerne she has regarding the l

possible construction of a nuclear power plant I

in the area of Seabrook, New Hampshire.

i I am wondering, Dr. Seaborg, if you l I,

could have someone prepare some comments on the 1

• question Miss Tovier raises in her letter? I ,

went to be better informed on this subject. ,

l .  !

' My tnanks to you.  ;
