Dear Sir and Brother,
This will acknowledge your letter dated May 24, 2004, to which you attached a copy of the System Transfer Agreement which has been initialized between the BNSF and the BLET general committee of adjustments sent via e-mail.
This is to advise you that upon reviewing the proposed System Transfer Agreement, I can find no provisions which conflict with National Division law or policy. Therefore, you have my approval to submit this proposed agreement to the membership in accordance with Section 41(b) General Committee Rules of the Bylaws of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.
It would be appreciated if you advise me of the results of the ratification of this agreement and, if ratified, provide a signed copy of same for our files.
You are commended for making an effort to allow individuals on a large railroad system, such as BNSF, to move between former railroads.
With best wishes and warmest personal regards, I remain
Fraternally Yours,
(Signed D. M. Hahs)
President
