Dear Mr. Ballew:

By this letter, Aerospatiale Helicopter Corporation acknowledges that the actions that you took with respect to the configuration management, sub-contracts, and engine hardware problems encountered in the United States Coast Guard HH65A program, though not fully comprehended by key personnel at the time, were taken in good faith by you in the best interest of the company as well as its country. It does appear that the circumstances surrounding your employment with the company may have been mishandled. To the restitution which AHC has made for any consequent injuries to you, AHC now adds this, its formal apology. In addition, AHC offers its thanks; we are now a better company.

Very truly yours,

___(Signature)___
