<br />" <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />Port of Houston Coomission <br />Screening Canm.i. ttee <br />July 24, 1987 <br /> <br />I have traveled abroad several times, usually viewing other <br />harbors and waterways and canparing them with ours. I believe <br />that our channel can be as great or greater than IrDst and that <br />vast improvements are possible for the entire channel south of <br />the Turning Basin. I also believe that we can reach the goal <br />of increased channel industry and improved quality of water and <br />air by diligent work and supervision. <br /> <br />I sincerely regret that I will be in China for two weeks <br />beginning August 13, 1987, and cannot appear on August 20th at <br />Sylvan Beach; however, the mission on which I will be is the . <br />People to People Citizens Ambassador Program which is a program <br />sponsored by the Attomey General of the United States for the <br />purpose of meeting with Chinese individuals and officials in an <br />effort to work favorable trade laws and agreements which may <br />very well be beneficial to the Port of Houston. <br /> <br />I hope that the good I may acccnplish on the China mission will <br />be of greater value than my personal appearance at the August <br />20th meeting and, if possible, I intend to remain on 'the <br />Citizens Ambassador Program so that in the future I may be of <br />value to the Port. <br /> <br />I appreciate your consideration of me and I thank you for the <br />time that all of you have 9i ven to this extrerrely worthy cause <br />which will no doubt be beneficial to all of the channel cities. <br /> <br /> <br />RLG:rr <br /> <br />Enc. <br />
