adjustment for which the Contractor believes the Government is
liable.

be executed by -

or location involved; or
(B) An officer or general partner of the Contractor having overall
responsibility for the conduct of the Contractor's affairs.

contract, pending final resolution of any request for relief, claim, appeal, or

MEMO 4-15-85
To: Jim Bertram, Asst. City Manager for Development Services
From: Marvin Coffee, Director of Aviation
Subject: Lubbock U.S. Customs office
The Lubbock Customs office and the Amarillo Customs office operate equally
with one Port Director over both offices. The Lubbock office, besides the
Port Director, has one full time employee.
If the Lubbock office were to be closed either Houston or Dallas would be
the location for clearing customs. Anyone in Lubbock importing any goods
would need to travel to Houston or Dallas to personally clear their ship-
ment at the time designated, or they could hire a broker to take care of
clearing customs.
If this office is closed there would be a loss of a source of information
and service to the public and camera and valuables registration could not
be provided in Lubbock. There would be a problem getting shipments into
Lubbock. Also some aircraft are now being cleared which would, require that
another port of entry be used.
The volume of activity is sufficient to keep one person busy full time.
The full time employee provides information and services that in a larger;
location is divided between several people.
As far as the cost of the operation of this facility all after hours
services requiring overtime -is offset by the charges. The office space
is currently provided by the Airport with utilities being reimbursed by
the Airlines in Lubbock. The office expense not now .being recovered is
salaries, telephone, travel and office supplies. The Port Director
advised he would provide this information by Wednesday this week.
With the renewed activity in securing new businesses and industry I think
we should -do what we can to retain this operation in Lubbock. I
understand the City of Midland has been trying unsuccesfully for years
to secure a customs office. If we lost this facility it would be very
difficult to get it re-established.
