From: Clifford, Bill (US SSA) [mailto:bill.clifford@baesystems.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 4:52 PM To: Platt, Patt A. Subject: FW: Draft Letter Dear Mr. Platt: Alex Dore worked for me during the years 1994/95 at Navatek, Honolulu, Hawaii in the capacity of Marine Group Comptroller. Our principal clients were the USN, USCG and the ONR. Alex took on many roles above and beyond the original scope. He worked long hours balancing the accounting role with many project roles including cost engineering, site inspections, meeting with union and non union labor, as well as building software tools to improve bid analysis calculations critical to the survival of the shipyard and to improve cash management and forecasting. Alex was always promoting teamwork, finding solutions to problems and making improvements. Alex was trusted with confidentialities and exercised his responsibilities to the highest degree. I highly recommend Alex to SAIC. I am sure Alex will continue to award your organization with duty, fidelity and trust.
