Ideally, we would like to sponsor such a workshop in 1984. The 

 findings, recommendations and strategies could be used either as 

 a basis for reviewing the proposed EPA/NOAA plan, assuming it is 

 finalized by next June, or the workshop results could serve as a 

 contribution to that ongoing effort. I will keep you and your 

 staff apprised of our efforts in that regard. 



I hope that this response adequately addresses the concerns 

 raised by your question at the hearing. On behalf of the 

 seventeen environmental and other citizen groups on whose behalf 

 I presented my testimony, your interest and concern with respect 

 to radioactive waste ocean disposal issues is greatly 

 appreciated. 



Sincerely, 



CEC : tp
