25 June 1996 Department of the Army Program Executive Office Missile Defense P.O. Box 1500 Huntsville, AL 35807-3801 Mr. Mark Bramlett Schafer Corporation 1500 Perimeter Pkwy, Ste 470 Huntsville, AL 35806-1686 Dear Mr. Bramlett, I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for your contribution to the THAAD program, specifically for your efforts in support of Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) activities to update the THAAD Functional Baseline Performance Specifications required to support System Design Review and the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development Request for Proposal. During the period 20 March 1996 to 24 May 1996, 11 ECPs and 17 ECP revisions, consisting of over 3000 pages, were dispositioned by the THAAD Configuration Control Board with an average 2-week turnaround time. You did an exceptional job in reviewing these ECPs. In addition, your support at the numerous working group meetings held with the prime contractor and THAAD Project Office personnel to come to mutual resolution of issues was superb. Your willingness to support requirements beyond normal expectations attests to your proficiency and dedication to the THAAD program. As you continue your assignment, I wish you continued success and a rewarding experience. Again, thank you for a job well done. Sincerely, Louis P. Deeter Colonel, U.S. Army Project Manager, Theater High Altitude Area Defense
