Dear Mr. Strimbeck:

I have received your letter proposing alternate Upper Mon lock hours. Thank you for being in touch.

In an effort to be helpful toward your goal of new lock hours, I have forwarded your letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Rest assured that I will be back in touch with you as soon as I receive a response.

In the interim, feel free to contact me again should you have any other concerns. I want to be of all possible assistance.
