22 September 1997 ANSER Suite 800 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway Arlington, VA 22202 Dr. Tom Norwood Executive Vice President Schafer Corporation 1901 N. Fort Myer Dr., Suite 800 Arlington, VA 22209 Dear Tom, I just wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts and long hours spent by Doug Allen in preparing the proposal in response to the BMDO Surveillance and Interceptor Technology Directorate's solicitation for SETA support. Without Doug's support in the Innovative Science and Technology (IS&T) and Materials and Structures areas, we surely would have been lacking the level of expertise needed to provide what we believe is the winning proposal and oral presentation. Doug's contributions and personal sacrifice exemplify the ANSER Team philosophy and values. He was an extremely effective spokesman for the ANSER Team during the Oral Presentation. I am pleased he is on our team. I look forward to a long and fruitful working relationship with Doug and Schafer Corporation. Sincerely, John Fabian President and Chief Executive Officer ANSER
