---- Dear Dave,

       Speaking only for Unplug Salem, we would prefer the following, in order

of preference:

 (1) Shut 'em down! (what else do you think I'd say)

(2)  A specially trained federal force to guard the nukes,

(3)  As well trained and not-tired private security force who were well paid for

putting their lives on the line.



You are correct that I'd be concerned if the security forces had anti-aircraft

missiles, for example, so there is is a bit of a conundrum there.



Peace

Norm
