RE: DOE's Toxic, Hostile Working Environment Violates Human Rights

["LANNI, MARC" <MLANNI@entergy.com>]

	I would like to ask that Mr Slavin and those
responding to this thread, please take it to another forum,
preferably one that deals with toxic pollution vice
our health physics list. After perusing the testimony given
in his link, all that seems to be listed as causal factors
are metal pollutions and the like. If you have some
factual information about problems with "Health Physics"
or Radiation Protection please present them here as that
is what this list is designed to present. Otherwise....stop
taking up my bandwidth with this legal banter about
pollution from mercury and other non-radioactive material
related illnesses. Next thing you'll be telling us is
that someone is re-sueing the coal companies because
black-lung is caused by the millions of micro-curies
of radioactivity that coal miners inhale from natural
sources. Why not go out and tell the senate about the
amount of radioactivity that the coal burning plants
spew into the American cities and suburbs. Could probably
make headlines with that storyline.

   Just my opinion

Subject: DOE's Toxic, Hostile Working Environment Violates Human Rights


Good morning, everyone in RADSAFE:

Thank you for your questions and comments yesterday, constructive and 
otherwise.  
Isn't it great to live in the world's greatest democracy?  I am inspired.  
For your information, further comments and inspiration, please feel free to 
read and link to the written Senate testimony of DOE nuclear workers (and my

testimony) at http://www.downwinders.org/victims    

My March 2000 written U.S. Senate Governmental Affairs testimony, "DOE's 
Toxic, Hostile Working Environment Violates Human Rights," is posted at 
http://www.downwinders.org/slavinhtml.htm  It touches on DOE's and 
contractors' hostility to whistleblowers and offering of what amounts to a 
$100,000 bribe to a few sick workers (Chapter 1) compensation (Chapter 2), 
DOE and contractor medical coverup (Chapter 3), Department of Labor
desuetude 
of whistleblower law enforcement (Chapters 4&5), the need for criminal 
investigation and prosecution (Chapter 6), and conclusions (Chapter 7).

As Robert F. Kennedy said, "it is not enough to allow dissent, we must
demand 
it, for there is much to dissent from."  I look forward to hearing your
views 
and submit my testimony to you, but hoping to promote better professional 
understanding of  DOE's actions and the plight of DOE nuclear weapons
workers 
and community residents (Downwinders). 

Thank you for your consideration.

With kindest regards, I am,

Sincerely yours,

Edward A. Slavin, Jr.
