Hawaii County Council <br /> 2~ Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 (Faxed to 969-3?91) <br /> pear Councilperson Arakaki: <br /> Some years ago I spent many hours reviewing the available material <br /> concerning the safety and other issues involved in development of an irradiation <br /> facility. I was convinced that irradiated food was safe, and that any safety issues <br /> associated with the development and operation of a facility could be adequately <br /> resolved. <br /> NIy opinion has not changed. I know of uo rational reason not to encourage <br /> the development of an irradiation facility. To the contrary there are a number of <br /> good reasons, particularly the improycmcnt of our economy, to support such a <br /> facility. <br /> V trul yours, <br /> Robert .
