Dear Dr, Lederberg

This letter is verification of our recent telephone conversation which
requested your testimony on behalf of our group in the Davis-Besse
Nuclear Power Station Licensing Review, This construction permit
hearing is in the matter of the Toledo Edison Company and Cleveland
Electric Illuminating Company, Docket No. 50-36,

On January 6, 1971, our group, L.I.F.E., Dr. I. Oster, Professor of
Biology, B.C.S.U., and William E, Reany, graduate student at B.G.S.U.,
were admitted as interveners in this construction permit hearing by the
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board. These parties were allowed only
those contentions from their Petition Intervene, which concerned the
inadequacy of the AEC Standards for Protection Against Radiation. Also
their contentions included that the standards were not a reasonable
exercise of the broad discretion given the AEC,

It is hope that you can still supply us with your testimony on behalf
of our group in written form as soon as possible. Also an affadavit
and your scientific qualifications needed to be included also with
your testimony.

Thank you very much for your interest and cooperation in this matter.
Please feel free to call us if you have any questions,

Enclosed please find newspaper articles referring to our admittance as
interveners in the hearings on Davis-Besse, and a copy of the documents
and questions that we have asked of the AEC Regulatory and the Utility
Companies,

Sincerely yours
