An irradiation facility here on the Big Island would benefit the community immensely with regard to increase of jobs, economic growth due to our produce and meats being shipped out of the state and country and also helping in preventing spoilage of the commodity. Foods are not made radioactive by irradiation. This would be a tremendous step in helping the agriculture industry of our state. r Ro ert M. a euchi cc: Hawaii County Council) L~2.1~ 1 t'7~e ND IC IP Presented Itef. TOS_..~ iRef.
