Dear Mr. Edman 



I spoke with Mr. John Herring in Santa Barbara about our -program with the 

 Naval Ocean System Center. This program involves studying the distribution of 

 whales, porpoises, and seals and sea lions around oil and gas platforms by 

 interviewing offshore workers. Mr. Herring suggested that an interview pro- 

 gram held at the Chevron pier would not inerfere with workers' operation. We 

 have scheduled our interview on Chevron's pier for early February. 



We would like to have two people from our company and an observer from 

 NOSC interview workers coming and going on the crew boats. If possible, we 

 would then like to come back 2 weeks after the initial interview and collect 

 any cards which have been filled out and conduct some follow-up interviews. 

 Each visit will take about 1 day. 



We are most grateful for Chevron's help in this program, and we would be 

 glad to meet any conditions and restrictions which you choose to impose. 



Sincerely,
