Re: Periodic power fluctuations on Ellis Island

Date: July 28th, 1951

Per your request Imade contact with the Federal Department of Energy regarding the unusual power fluctuations and brownouts associated with Ellis Island but received only vague answers and a promise to "check on it."

At this point it's clear that something strange is taking place inside the old immigration complex. I recommend a trip out to see what is going on and make sure the old substation isn't about to blow. If it did half the city of New York would go down with it.

Please advise.
