     PREVIEW OF THIS MONTH'S PROGRAM    from Bev DeOcampo
     
     Our program features a timely discussion on the status of California's 
     proposed low-level radioactive waste disposal facility at Ward Valley. 
     In February, Deputy Interior Secretary John Garamendi called for more 
     studies that will significantly delay the project.  In response to 
     this delay and continuing federal interference, Governor Wilson 
     announced an effort to return responsibility for low-level waste 
     disposal back to the federal government.
          
     Dave Duke, an NCCHPS member who works in PG&E's Governmental Affairs 
     Department, will report on California's political hot potato called 
     Ward Valley.
