On November 6, 1986, you wrote to New Hampshire Governor John H. Sununu, inviting the Governor to testify at hearings presently scheduled for November 18, 1986, in Amesbury, Massachusetts. We understand that the focus of the hearings you have scheduled concerns the State of New Hampshire's role in the preparation of emergency response plans related to the licensing by the federal regulatory agencies of the Seabrook nuclear power plant. Governor Sununu has advised me that he is unable to personally attend the hearing, but instead, he is submitting written testimony along the lines suggested in your letter of November 6, 1986. As you may know, my office has been involved in the on-going licensing hearings before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission concerning, among other things, the off-site emergency response plans for Seabrook. Although I have a long-standing commitment out-of-state and will be unable to attend the hearing, Deputy Attorney General Bruce E. Mohl is available to attend the hearing to answer any questions you may have concerning the State of New Hampshire's participation in the emergency planning process, particularly as it relates to the on-going licensing proceedings before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I was disappointed that you were unable to participate in the November 18 Subcommittee hearing on emergency planning and NRC licensing issues related to the Seabrook nuclear power plant. Since your Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Bruce Mohl, was not in a position to provide answers to five specific questions I intended to ask you at the hearing, I read the questions into the hearing record, and will leave the record open for two weeks in order to include your responses. Please provide to the Subcommittee an individual written response to each of the attached questions by December 3, 1986. Sincerely, Ed Markey Edward J.
