ErEO they are irradiated daily with <br /> far more powerful spectra than the shallow penetration characterizing the <br /> radiation source planned for this island. <br /> There is no question that the people of this island are in a serious <br /> balance of payments predicament <br /> There is no question that we have high unempl.oyement on this island <br /> despite Che "economic boom" we are told is occurring on the mainland. <br /> There is no question what will happend to us come the next mainland <br /> recession if we do not act now. <br /> None-the-less, I would oppose the irradiation facility if 1 did not feel <br /> Chat its operation and its impact upon foodstuffs will be safe. <br /> Respectfull u it ed, <br /> ~ K <br /> Marlin Spike Werner <br /> (timm.
