J ELECTED OFFICIALS. <br /> I am an eleven year resident of the Bi Island of Hawaii who work's'r~r~~ <br /> ,pays taxes and votes. <br /> I vehemently oppose Bill No. 62 which roposes that the cou$i~}/~yD~t p r tax dollars for <br /> an irradiation facility for tropical fruit on this island. Such a plant~~ad7id~ no <br /> matter who pays for it. Under no cir mstances should we a o6aOC~'(droaetive, materials <br /> such as would be used in such a facili to be brought on to ~ITaYiab;~~r away from <br /> this one please! We are counting on y as our elected representatives, to listen to the <br /> heartbeat of your constituency, and r lize that a solution that glows in the dark would be <br /> <br /> just another BIG PROBLEM. "Safe?" I ouldn't bet MY children's and grandchildren's lives on <br /> that! WHO'S SAYING "safe?" What is EIR authority and how much do they have to <br /> lose? Listen instead to Nobel-Prize minee in Physics, our own distinguished Dr. Paul <br /> Dixon of UH Hilo, one of our most int igent and concerned citizens, who says OF COURSE <br /> NUCLEAR IRRADIATION OF FOOD IS NO SAFE! He has nothing to gain if this is allowed, <br /> monetarily or otherwise. And we ALL ave A LOT TO LOSE if "business" wins over <br /> r a i n s. <br /> A concerned citizen <br /> CC: Hawaii Herald-Tribune <br /> West Hawaii Today <br /> The Honolulu Advertiser <br /> Governor Cayetano <br /> The New York Times <br /> The San Francisco Chronicle <br /> Earthwatch <br /> -1- <br /> <br />
