<br /> April 23, 1997 <br /> To: The Chairman and Members of the County Finance Committee <br /> RE: Fruit-irradiation plant <br /> <br /> My name is Jerome Akasaki and I am a farmer who is in support <br /> of a fruit-irradiation plant in Hilo. <br /> United Nation agencies such as the World Health Organization, <br /> Food and Agriculture Organization, International Atomic Agency, <br /> and even government agencies such as the USDA and FDA, and the <br /> U. S. Public Health Service support the safety of irradiated <br /> fruits. <br /> I find that having a irradiation plant in Hilo far outweighs <br /> the statements made by the opposition. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jerome Akasaki <br /> Akasaki Farms <br /> (iOmOi. ?l0. <br /> no.
