Jim-

Many years ago one of the news shows (48 hours, or something similar), prior to 2001, if Irecall, that did a include a

militia-type training camp in the area.

Not sure if this would be related or not, if the piece was correct, or if the place ever/still exists.

Senator Ferlo asked what citizenship Perelman holds. Perelman confirmed he is an American citizen. Senator Ferlopointed out the contract with ITRR is not being terminated but rather is simply being allowed to run its course and will notbe extended. He asked how many employees ITRR has. Perelman stated there are around 15 traditional staff members,with more than 70 others around the world.

Senator Ferlo roundly criticized ITRR , again calling it a "scam." He questioned Perelman why his Green Drinks eventwould have been classified as a "Iow-to-moderate" threat. Perelman said if there is concern about a conflict between twogroups, it is a public safety issue.

Chairman Baker concluded the hearing, noting the testimony presented "clearly raises a number of questions," and statedthe committee will continue to look at the issue.

Written testimony was submitted by the following:

• David Kairys and Mary Catherine Roper , ACLU

• Scott Portzline, Security Consultant to Three Mile Island Alert- 30 -
