Mr . Chairman :
Senator William T . Smith and I support the proposed Cayuga Fossil Fuel
Station .
The need to alleviate our pressing energy shortage , the need to stimulate
this area ' s economy , the need to expand our tax base and the need to
increase job opportunities are obvious and urgent .
• This proposed project has had exhaestive studies and the development of
extensive data covering every conceivable facet . The results of this
substantial effort have identified no fatal defects .
The cooperation of the County of Tompkins , the New York State Electric
and Gas Corporation and the Finger Lakes Rc -. ion has demonstrated an un-
yielding cc : ,aituent to continued environmental and agricultural excellence .
This has been coupled with the realism for the need of an expanded energy
supply and realization that such a project will immeasurably assist this
area ' s economy .
After a delay of numerous years the need for a prompt affirmative decision
is imperative .

Sincerely yours ,
