RE: Camas Prairie

Dear Tom,

Enclosed for your information are several documents that I have recently received. First, is the Verified Statement regarding Dick McDonald’s background. Second, I have enclosed the facsimile letter I received this morning from John Heffner.

Third, I have put in Dick McDonald’s report regarding his observations on the Camas Prairie. Finally, I have included a copy of the Camas Prairie Quitclaim Deed for your information.

Hopefully we will chat on Monday with Joe and possibly Dick about the NLV numbers.

Sincerely yours,

Donald L. Howell, II
Deputy Attorney General
