By

agreement with CINCPAC the Navy has undertaken this mission, to the extent
that is forecast by tonnage curves attached hereto, and they are in effective

system to effectively perform this obligation, in view of somewhat limited

of assisting and expediting such freight handling.

Minimum warehousing and

to be taken for personnel morale are established as a matter of agreement
