We do not want to <br /> solve one problem with an even bi r one. My father was a physicist who worked for <br /> decades on the safety aspects of p ` cetime.uses of nuclear energy. He let me know <br /> that there are TREMENDOUS ONd: ING PROBLEMS related to using radioactivity in <br /> the manner proposed, not just in th 'technology itself, but in the UNKNOWN and <br /> UNTESTED health hazards which ISt in the use of produce so treated. <br /> If Someone, for whatever reasons, inks that it is a good plan to jump right in and <br /> support this WITHOUT KNOWING OUCH ABOUT IT, (AS HAS JUST R (':FNTI V <br /> T D REPORTED ON PAGE <br /> 1 OF THE HAWAII TRIBUN_ E -HER1 they should first educate themself on the <br /> other side of the issue. <br /> i <br /> We all know money is behind the pr otion of this idea. Knowledge is behind the <br /> other Side. Our own distinguished Paul Dixon of UHH, who was nominated for the <br /> Nobel Prize in Physics, has said dir ly, "OF COURSE TH~~I .EAR IRRADIATION <br /> OF FOODS IS A~ANGEROUS ID He has absolutely~o investment in this one <br /> way or the other, he simply knows tf1' facts, and is not motivated to say otherwise. <br /> Can we say the same for the "It's s ' "folks? IF THERE IS EVEN A QUESTION, WE <br /> MUST EXAMINE THE WHOLE ISS CLOSELY, USING gEP~J7ABLE RESEARCH <br /> P T N I~ENGE AND HEARTS. After all, it is <br /> not just someone else's children an randchildren who will be harmed by our jumping <br /> in blindfolded, listening only to those ho have a fiduciary stake m this controversial <br /> idea- Ignorance fueled by is a re 8 for disaster, it has been proven time and <br /> again. <br /> DO NOT VOTE FOR BILL 62 AND SOLUTION 74-97 I know you, by your record, <br /> to be a person of courage in the fa f opposition. Let us regard ignorance as our <br /> common enemy and do the right thi here. <br /> PLEASE MAKE THIS A NUMBERS pMMUNICATION, AND PLEASE GIVE A C C. <br /> TO ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS. tnmr;x. ,'Vo, 212 z ~y <br /> /G / ( ~~Ew "`r ` File No. mod/ ~ <br /> 1~. )R.et.
