Dear nlrrr+rr,

h^'I r

.j m: My 2.206 Ittiticn to the E 0:nsrnirg tie Gaatgia Sich Nr1mr R!searth Bw+m etc.

I inm jmt fcm3 out tlat Eme liiu.mtiCH I smt you in my letter of Rb. 21st,1995 is mug. I Q1 prp two, tiere is a secticn cn tle R.M. Claytcn Sewer Plant ard carme rates. I got thom Iats 1 frun a gTm relmse cn tle subjmt issued by n=imimer Darrell (5th District) . Ettm 1dut I have bem told by arrther mimbist, thom figures vete pt try ilu frtm hospital records. In tie treenWhile, . .

I famd att ( by wrlant actmily) tint they are wrtrg. You see, tie State tses a idole cnttdnaticn of 1 souraas, and mtil fairly remntly, if Emerre FPD mrmr, ht died of pleumlia cbe to tieir veBkmEd inmre systan , tin puntnia would agmar as czme of death. 9 tis has all b en cinnged.

Accrrdirg to tie Italth huumd, Services thit /%*Mics of tie Divisicn of Public Itnith cf '

tie State of Georgia, Stsan S. Dmver, the figutm should le as follows:

Ebr 1930 to 1993 (ircitsive,ie, four years)

'Ibtal Carmr D3aths (all tody sites) 4,7R

'Ibtal Ing Crmr Daths 1,255

'1btal Btmst Ormr Daths 449

'Iblal Infrarda Dmths 193 l

'Ihis is civicusly far hitter tian tie figutm I had. Te poblem is this: the State /I myself cb rot have it row trtian dam into n=Imicn District. 'Ihis can be che, ht in cxdr to do tist, it will cost tp to '

$50 for mrri*w tine etc. I ctn't have tlat utney a' gusent. If I en get it, I will get tint chie. Of Oturm tie E mild Itquest it ard pay for it pedap.. We further grilan is this: while it is mmiMa tint tie carme chaths increase acrrrdirgly with tiese higher rutbers , in nieriet 5, it is also rrmiMa .

that it nay not in the case. It mild retain tlE EHre, mild show another arm hicfer, or this arm pits irother wird pith arm higher. I jtst ctn't know withott the chta rmhi. n=Imimer Dirne11s' office did tie ricJt thing with the infantaticn they were wodcirg to it seats, lowever it is not the cntplete staty. .In arry evmt, it is a lot of cancers.
