Dear Dr. Mooers:
Thank you for your invitation to attend the 20 July Fleet Improvement Committee Meeting in Seward. Unfortunately, I will be unable to send a representative due to travel budget constraints. I have, however, enclosed the latest information on the USCGC HEALY project for your use in bringing all concerned up to date.
Again, my regrets. The benefits derived by Coast Guard attendance at UNOLS meetings are numerous, I have requested an increase in my office travel budget to ensure our attendance at future meetings. Please contact LCDR Steve Wheeler of this office with any questions or comments regarding the enclosed material. He can be reached at the above listed address-and phone number; FAX (202) 267-4425 or via the INTERNET at: "lcdr - s - wheeler/g-nio@cgsmtp.comdt.uscg.mil". I look forward to working with you in the future.
