| Asking that Co: 1st Naval Batt. made up of
the employees of R&D RR {Richmond & Danville RR}
be exempted from appearing on military alarm without special
orders. |
| Lt Col Sims |

| 18 Feb/64. Approved & refd to Brig Gen
Custis Lee. It will be of a decided benefit to Transportation if orders
suggested by Col Sims can be given. When the local troops are called out
there is generally special reason for having RR employees at their post,
as extra trains are needed. A R Lawton QMG |
