Dear General Fleming: 



I was pleased to receive your letter of January 26th 

 and to note the progress which you have made on the Hurricane 

 Survey of Narragansett Bay. The recommendations which 

 you stated seem to me to be very sound. As you know, at 

 the public hearing which was held on this project in Providence, 

 October 1, 1956, I stated my support for an adequate system 

 of Hurricane Barriers. 



Although there are some details to be worked out 

 concerning the financing, I approve of the general lines of 

 your recommendations, and believe that the State of Rhode 

 Island will participate in the project under the formula set 

 out in your letter. 



With kindest personal regards, I am 



^ Sincerely yq] 



Dennis J. Rober 

 Governor
