Re: Hearing on Ocean Disposal of Contaminated Sediments 



Dear Mr. Ortiz: 



On behalf of Dwayne Lee, Deputy Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles, 

 and the American Association of Port Authorities, I have enclosed answers to written 

 questions submitted by yourself and Subcommittee members as a follow up to the hearing 

 on the Ocean Disposal of Contaminated Sediments held on March 30, 1992. Thank you 

 again for providing AAPA an opportunity to testify on this very important issue. In 

 addition, I would like to acknowledge the very capable assistance and cooperation of your 

 staff, Sheila McCready and Bob Wharton, in helping to organize the hearing. 



AAPA looks forward to working closely with you and the Subcommittee on issues 

 affecting America's port community 



Sincerely,
