Dear Ms. Dougherty,

Thank you very much for your response to our recent report, "Bad to the Bone: Analysis of the Federal Maximum Contaminant Levels for Plutonium-239 and Other Alpha-Emitting Transuranic Radionuclides in Drinking Water."

We really appreciate your commitment to review the report and to consider the information provided in it as you review the radionuclides rule of the National Primary Drinking Water Standards. If you or your staff has any questions regarding the report, please feel to contact one of us.

We continue to collect endorsements regarding the recommendations of the report from around the country. We will forward them to you every month or two as the process continues. We look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,
