Given the overwhelming,

13 huge crowd we may not hold to that precisely.

My name is Vim X.

I have been a resident a f:

I am,in the retail jewelry 3
business, and, also, have a Hallmark Card Shop.
I don't 4
have a specific statement to make this morning, except g
5 that I been involved in civic affairs in Bay. City for 0
3 6
25 years and currently serve in several capacities in R
- E 7
Bay City.
And, I just want to say that from a A
I j
8 personal standpoint, no grudge involved or anything, that Q0 9
E, I,
personally, am much in favor of this.
6 10 I have little or no opposition in Bay City g

5 II to this project, except for the fact that we'd just like m
"f 12 to get on with it.
="
j I3 We feel like it is very needed here, and we 3
14 i aren't a damn bit worried about it.
But, we just think u
9 15 g
we ought to get off-the-stick and get started.
Or.
g-16 l

Just keep going.

And, I feel this.is a fine 4
community.

And,-personally, I support the project 9

6l 100 percent.
I think it is a fine thing.
Something, R

as Mr. Rye just said, something we certainly need.
M 8
And, I feel that the majority, or most.of'the people that d
y 9
I have talked to -- everybody feels the same as I do, E
10 that it is a very important thing for this community.
E Il Not only for this community, but for the surrounding 3
N I2 communities.
For the State of Texas, I think this nuclear 4

there's very few that seem to be against it.

They all seem to have the same feelings about.

They are not really worried about the nuclear G

What they are concerned about sj 8
is all of the publicity it is getting --
you know, all-d
