COMMENDATION

1. FOR CAPTAIN R. M. HANSON. ON THE OCCASION OF THE CHANGE OF COMMAND AT NAD
MCALESTER, IT IS MY EARNEST DESIRE TO COMMEND YOU ON YOUR EXEMPLARY
PERFORMANCE OF DUTY AS COMMANDING OFFICER OF NAD MCALESTER.

2. UNDER YOUR GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP,NAD MCALESTER HAS OPERATED
EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY DESPITE THE TRYING CIRCUMSTANCES IMPOSED BY
WIDELY VARYING AMMUNITION REQUIREMENTS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA. THESE
REQUIREMENTS IN ALTERNATELY INCREASING TO EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS AND
SUBSEQUENTLY BEING REDUCED TO RELATIVELY LOW LEVELS, WOULD HAVE TAXED THE
TALENTS OF LESS CAPABLE LEADERSHIP AND CONFIRM YOUR HIGH DEGREE OF
COMPETENCE AS A NAVAL OFFICER AND MANAGER.

3. YOUR ACOMPLISHMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE AREAS OF MANAGEMENT,
EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS, ESTABLISHING THE OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION RECORD OF
NAD MCALESTER, THE PRESIDENT'S PROGRAM ON YOUTH OPPORTUNITY, ACTIVE
PARTICIPATION IN CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, AND THE OUTSTANDING RECORD IN MEETING
COST REDUCTION GOALS AND FUND DRIVES FURTHER ATTEST TO YOUR LEADERSHIP.

4. MY SINCERE CONGRATULATIONS FOR A JOB "WELL DONE".
