Dear Sir,

Mr. Gofman, from Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, has sent me his
Testimony before the select committee on nuclear electricity
Generation, Pennsylvania State Senate.

In this paper he quotes an article of yours in the Washington
Post from July 19th, 1970.

We should be very grateful to you if you could send us a copy
of this article or of the Testimony on which it is based or
any other matcrial concerning the effects of radiation on
genetic and chromosomal disease.

We need desperately as much resliable material as possible for
our fight against the erecticgyn of the "biggest nuclear power
plant of the World" near our town (pop. 600.000), only twenty
miles from it. We have founde:i an action’ committee against these
plans, but find it défficult to get material quick enough
against polticians and indust ry to inform people about the
hazards of it.

Yours sincerely,

LL (O2 It
