WILLIAM P. CLEMENTS, JR. GOVERNOR Mr. Truett L. Hawkins Post Office Box 1157 Abilene, Texas 79604 Dear Mr. Hawkins: OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR STATE CAPITOL AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711 October 29, 1982 I thought the letter written to you by Mr. Nolan Ward of the Texas Employment Commission was rude and unresponsive and I apologize on behalf of the State of Texas. Mr. Ward was appointed by a previous Governor and will be leaving office in November. I want to assure you that Governor Clements expects a higher standard of service from public officials than that presently being provided by Mr. Ward at the TEC. I am asking Mr. Richard Mellado, the Commissioner appointed by Governor Clements, to personally look into your case. Thank you for your patience. Sincerely, Polity owell Spe i 1 Assistant PS/cp cc: Mr. Richard Mellado
