Dear Mr. President:

tour purpoco here is to urgo your direct intervention  !

iinto the matter of the proposed nuclear power plant at jBodoga Head in Northern California, to the end that your revieu vill clearly chow that further construction is not in the public interect and chould be suspended. .

The California Democratic Council, representing as you knou.come 70,000 vorking Democratic volunteers in Cali- '

'fornia, hac long been concerned about the proposed Bodega Head nuclear plant, and hac oppoced it on coveral l grounds. Ao early as March,1963, our statewide conven- t tion of come 2500 delegates called attention to the con- {

j cervation issue at stake as follows: "The proposed -

Pacific Gac and Electric Company power. plant on Bodega Head vould be an intolerable encroachment of co'amercial j development upon arca of unique scenic and biological '

valuo. ....thic land should be preserved for park use and as a marine biological station."

The conservation iccue still holds today--for as you have so cloquently exprocced before, our recreational and scenic treasures cuct nov be preserved if the needs of ~

)

procent and future generations are to be served.

The cecond major incue ic of course that of safety.  !

Many public officials in California, including Senator l l

't l Engle through his recently introduced Senate Joint Reso-lution No. 167, have called attention to the severe problem of safety for a plant built directly upon a -

( major carthquake fault. ,

)

! Finally, may ve point out by means of the enclosed collec- I j tion of press clippingc that the construction of thic i

' plant ic an extrc=ely unpopular matter to a vast number 1

of people in Northern California, and the opposition has persisted to the extent that it represents a major polit-ical issue.

. President.Lyndon B. Johnson - page 2 August 15, 1964 The natter of proceeding with construction now lies before the Atomic Energy Commission. Recently the Atomic ' Energy Connission has asked for further -justi-fication of design adequacy in view of the discovery -

of the earthquake fault in the reactor foundation. -

The Atomic Energy Commission has of course long been ".

an advocate , of the potter plant. We therefore do not believe they can fairly judge the terits of continuing the construction. Under these circumstances, we are 6therefore calling upon you for a review and intervention i in this issue, knotting of your. deep concern for the broad h considerations of public welfare which are at stake in this instance. We most respectfully seek your help.

Sincerely, -
