Dear Mr. Carlson: 



As I told you in our phone conversation on October 6, our firm is acting 

 as a consultant to the Naval Ocean Systems Center to develop a program to 

 interview oil platform workers on their observations of marine mammals around 

 oil and gas platforms. We would like to use Platform Holly for this study. 



The program would involve two scientists from our firm coming out for 

 one day and interviewing as many workers as possible. We would hope that we 

 could conduct these interviews without interfering with the men's work. 

 Mr. Gealy of Arco's Environmental Sciences Division suggested that we might 

 do the interviews during the boat ride to the platfrom. We would also like 

 to put some posters on the platform, perhaps in the room where the men have 

 their coffee. These posters would explain the program and give pointers on 

 how to identify marine mammals. There will be a box with cards which we would 

 request the men to fill out as soon as possible after seeing a marine mammal. 

 We would then like to come back to Platform Holly two weeks after the initial 

 visit and collect the filled out cards and interview as many workers as 

 possible again. 



We would like to begin this program as soon as it is convenient. Thank 

 you so much for your assistance in this matter. 



Sincerely, 



CHAMBERS CONSULTANTS AND PLANNERS
