Dear Mr. Clark: 



During the last month, several Nevadans have contacted us with disturbing 

 information. They have told us that certain individuals, apparently acting on 

 behalf of AEROJET NEVADA, have misrepresented the Desert Tortoise Council's 

 position on Aerojet 'a proposed land exchctnge for Coyote Spring Valley. The Desert 

 Tortoise Council is opposed to the land exchange and to Aerojet 's acquisition of 

 land in Coyote Spring Valley. Our position and rationale are enclosed. 



He request that you and representatives of AEROJET NEVADA cease and desist in 

 making smy written or oral statements which imply that the Desert Tortoise Council 

 approves of the proposed land exchange. Furthermore, we request that you contact 

 persons who have been given this erroneous information by your staff or 

 representatives and inform them of the error. 



We appreciate your early attention to this matter. 



Sincerely yours, 



/S/ (^^S^ruyiy /^. 5/ji^/tyijt'
