Chairman 



Convinittee on Energy and Natural Resources 



United States Senate 



Washington, D.C. 20510 



Dear Chairman Johnston: 



I am writing to you to voice my strong support for 

 S 854 the proposed Nevada-Florida land exchange between Aerojet 

 General Corporation and the Department of the Interior which is 

 currently pending in your committee. 



I know that the press of Congressional business is 

 intense and that there are many worthy pieces of legislation 

 which you and your Committee must review this year. However, the 

 Aerojet legislation is terribly important to me and to the entire 

 state of Nevada as its passage will provide our state with 

 hundreds of new jobs and the potential for greater economic 

 diversification. Therefore, I respectfully urge you to process 

 this legislation as quickly as possible- 

 Aerojet has gone to great lengths to satisfy the 

 legitimate environmental concerns which have been expressed over 

 this exchange. Hearings will not only allow these facts to come 

 to light but will give the opponents as well as the the propo- 

 nents of the legislation a chance to air their views. 



Thank you for your consideration of this request and I 

 will look forward to hearing from yo4.
