Dear Admiral Gehman:
1 am the State Representative for the 126th District in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Iike my constituents, I am disappointed to see the Navy Submarine Base in New London
recommended for closure by the Secretary of Defense. We are engaged in preparing our best defense of
the base and we look forward to your visit.
I do not envy you as the BRAC Commission begins its work. 'I'he volume and density of
infor nation, letters, and calls along with the passions and community commitments that will become part
of this evaluation seem immense. This is magnified only by the overall importance of the results to our
nation scuritC. a: sure the Comi t i x SubmariTe Bsc in New London
meets and exceeds the Military Values listed on the Final Selection Criteria and is imperative to our
national security.
Thank you for your work., e Prid an rycld paper
