Attention: Ken Guziak 



Dear Mr. Guziak: 



As Mel Chambers told you in your telephone conversation of October 21, 

 our firm is acting as a consultant to the Naval Ocean Systems Center to develop 

 a program to interview oil platform workers in their observations of marine 

 mammals around oil and gas platforms. We would like to use two of Union Oil's 

 Santa Barbara Channel platforms for this study. 



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

 each platform 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. We would also like to put some posters in the platform, perhaps 

 in the room were the men have their coffee. These posters would explain the 

 program and give pointers as 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 each plat- 

 form 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, 

 so much for helping us. 



Thanks 



Sincerely,
