BOX 1 PAHOA, HAWAII 96778 CU~)I~: ~ RNta8OE1 X65-8351 <br /> COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> April 22, 1997 <br /> Hawaii County Council <br /> 25 Aupuni Slrcel <br /> Hilo, Hawaii 96720 <br /> Dear Councihnembers, <br /> I am writing to ask for your support for building an irradiator here on the Big Island. <br /> Although the crops we produce does not require treatment for fmitllys we believe that is very <br /> important that we take this opportunity to build this irradiator. I believe that many, many agricultural <br /> opportunities will become available. I believe that the County of Hawaii with its agricultural base has to <br /> encourage the introduction of new exportable products which this irradiator may olfcr. <br /> Irradiation treatment at low dose levels for quarantine processing has been proven safe. I am sure that <br /> you bast been given volumes of information concerning the safety of food irradiation. <br /> Please give the farmers on the Big Island an opportunity to grow and export specialty fruits and other <br /> agricuhural products. We can not rely on existing products. We must always look for new markets, and <br /> new produces or else we may Gnd ourselves closing down like the sugar industry. <br /> Please support the building of the proposed irradiator. I along with our employees am counting on you <br /> to support agriculture today and our future. Thank you. <br /> Si/n~'~ce~rely, / <br /> Alan A ICnwaham <br /> President <br /> Gomm.
