Dear Bill:

The major problem today in environmental radiation safety is the assignment 
of risk to tiny doses for which there is no known or measurable risk and 
then spending a major portion of our national resources on unnecessary 
so-called "clean-up operations" to protect imaginary people from these 
imaginary risks. I believe that the EPA's radon positions fall into this 
category. I believe that the EPA's Federal Guidance Report #13 is a work of 
meaningless imaginings.
