Dear Jim:

As 1985 comes to a close and I look forward to a productive year in
1986, I just want to take this moment to thank you for writing me several

weeks back with your support for my position on H.R. 1616, the so-called
"plant closing” bill.

During House floor debate on the bill, I did express some
reservations about various provisions of the bill that I thought would
ultimately be too burdensome, and counterproductive to the goals of better
employee-management relations and more jobs. We were successful in

removing those provisions from the bill, and I wholeheartedly supported
final passage.

Of course, the Senate still has to consider the bill, and chances are
they may not even bring it up for a vote, but I will continue to fight at
every opportunity for the rights and interests of American working men and
women. I appreciate your support.

Please feel free to contact me again.

With warmest regards,

ehlert
