_Sune 29, 1976 We The, Honorable Alan Cranston: - United States Senator 13900 Wilshire Bauwlevard | “tos Angeles, California Dear Senator, As a registered Democrat that has supported you in the past, I find that I must now call on you for help. I am _writing ta you on behalf of my husband, Loran E. Hall, who has been having difficulty with several Federal gavernmental agencies. ss First, he recently applied for his DD-214, GI Eligibility for a home loan, through a local mortgage company. Hes was subsequently informed that there had been a fire in the Records Center in St. Louis and that there was no record of his military service. Now what? Secondly, he sent a request to the FAA Headquarters in “Oklahoma City for a duplicate copy of his pilot's License © and was told that they can find no record of that. I really find that hard to believe. — If you will have your office contact us, I will be happy.. to supply you with all the necessary dstails. Any assistance thet you can nrevide will be sincerely annreciated- : Thanking you in advance for your consideration and “prainpt attention to this matter, — an Very truly yours, Mes. Judith £.
