Sample letter from the agricultural community.

California based companies: Recipients of the letters change according to the location of your headquarters. If you are based in:

• the Bay Area, write to the Bay Area Congressional Delegation
• the Central Valley, write to the Central Valley Congressional Delegation

Companies based in Southern California or outside of California: Recipients of the letters change according to the location of your headquarters. Please write to your Representative and two Senators to support our project. You may visit the US House of Representatives web site at www.house.gov to identify your Representative. At the top of that site is a zip code based locator called "Find Your Representative." You may visit the Senate web page at www.senate.gov and use the "Find your Senators" link.

Mailing instructions: Since mail delivery to Congress has been very sporadic and often interrupted, due to heightened security measures, we request that you send letters of support directly to the Port, so that we can consolidate and deliver them to the Congressional offices. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated. We urge you to return your letters of support to the Port of Oakland by June 8, 2007 so that we can hand deliver them to your Congressional representatives. If you are unable to provide your letters by June 8th, we would deeply appreciate receiving them by June 13th. Please send all letters of support to the following Port address:

Jesse D. Garrett
Government Affairs Department
Port of Oakland
530 Water Street
Oakland, CA 94607
