My father was a physicist who worked for <br /> decades on the safety aspects of p eetime uses of nuclear energy. He let me know <br /> that there are TREMENDOUS ON ING PROBLEMS related to using radioactivity in <br /> the manner proposed, not just in th hnology itself, but in the UNKNOWN and <br /> UNTESTED health hazards which 'st 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 HA~,JU T R - NTi Y <br /> B P LI ITT Y F R p <br /> 1 H T N - 01) they should first educate themseff on the <br /> Other side of the issue. <br /> We all know money is behind the pr otion of this idea.

Let us regard ignorance as our <br /> common enemy and do the right this here. <br /> PLEASE MAKE THIS A NUMBERE OMMUNICATION, AND PLEASE GIVE A C C <br /> TO ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS. <br /> ? f LoDa~. >uA <br /> F6et 'toy Pre^enteaf~nCil <br /> MAY 2 0 t991 <br /> stet.
