Thank you,
I am going to introduce Mike Patterson tomorrow prior to talk time if at all possible. He has asked for a just a couple minutes of your time.
To help defeat this, it will be worth what he has to say.
He along w with Judge White, have spent many hours and lost lots of sleep over this.
Mike is retired from the Corps of Engineers.
Also, Got a copy of the Senator's radio interview on FD.
See you in the a.m.
Doug M.
