q .-"

the rude attempt by PASNY to disqualify the interve-;

| nors that had been accepted by the ASLB. In our 10

1

years as active intervenors in some 16 proceedings before

the New York State Department of Environmental Conserva-

tion and the New York State Public Service Commission,

'we have never witnessed such a perverse attack through

] the use of inuendo and slurs that could not be sustained

1 as evidence in a court of law.

In their petitions to eliminate fear as an issue,;

I in their answers to petitions for leave to intervene, and

now in the wasteful appeal to the Commission, PASNY has'

dragged down the name of the State of New York.

I It is particularly distressing that a State su-

! thority, created to enhance the health and welf are of the!I people of the state, feels free to attack the very peoplej

it is supposed to help, in the worst McCarthylera type

of red-baiting and guilt-by-association, completely dis-1

] regarding the citizens' right to dissent. Known to most4

! of us the first amendment of the constitution of thei

; United States.|

If the PASNY counsels feel the proceedings are a

| waste of time and the people involved are not worth:

hearing, then they can rest comfortably knowing that the

feeling is mutual, and get on with it instead of wasting

| the tax payers' money.

\; I.

The request to dismiss parties because they may |

oppose nuclear power is absurd legally. We would have

no courts of justice if such dismissals were tolerated.

If the representatives of PASNY are so sure of

the probity of their case then they should welcome an

investigation without fear of the outcome. Or at the

very least, tolerate it with grace and manners.

WBCA seems to have met PASNY's requirements and

it alone of the intervenors has done so. We might

wonder if we are proud or embarrassed. But it seems'

opportune, therefore, for us to bother to speak up

albeit we would prefer to save the money necessary to

reply and to reproduce the many copies we must to serve

the parties' list.

PASNY owes the court and the intervenors an

apology and should back off, relax, join the pro-

ceedings with intent to expedite them rather than wear

all of us down with tedium and diversions.

We beseech the Commission to deny the April 19

motions made by PASNY.

Respectfully submitted,,
