You an write la in in Cara of the Clarc Ond strip. Apo obzi1. . Forum a. Letters Usa eur replies on catalytic converters in response to the letters which appeared monday regarding the catalytic converter situation i wish to assure each of you that we have dedicated the Maxi mum Effort to clarify the recent regulatory actions which govern catalytic conveners. There is doubt that guidance from the environmental Protection Agency and the department of the army places euro Pean based service members at a disadvantage. Our primary concern is the Epa ruling that owners of vehicles shipped to Europe prior to ocl 1, 1987, with catalytic converters intact May not use the free plumb Tesmo test program and will be forced to buy a new catalytic convener to return the Carlo the United Stales. Under the Epa guidance you presently have three options if you shipped your car before oct. I 1987, with the catalytic converter intact. The first option is id replace the catalytic converter before leaving Europe which is probably he least expensive. Second have an expensive test done on arrival in the United states which runs about j800. The third option for owners is to have he old con Verter removed and replaced in the United states. If the car is shipped commercially then a Bond of three limes the value of the car must be posted until the converter is replaced. No Bond is required if the car is shipped by the government but he owner will be required to show proof that the replacement has been accomplished within 30 Days of accepting delivery of the car in the United states. These options arc expensive and that is what we Are fighting to get changed. I share your concern and will do everything possible to resolve the Issue on terms favourable to the military Community Here. We arc in the process of carrying these concerns Forward to the department of the army and the Epa and will keep you informed As new information becomes available. . Jackson e. Roller or. Deputy chief of stall logistics United slates array Europe writer opposed to open door policy i am writing with an opposing perspective to the commander s open door policy. First the uniform code of military Justice is a tool for commanders to use in indicting acquiring convict. Ing or exonerating soldiers of possible wrongful or illegal actions. For the Ucma to work effectively the commander must ensure that the Chain of command within his subordinate units works. The policy of an open door usurps the authority and flow of the Chadnof command As Well the open door policy is not an instrument in which fair representation for the accused is provided. An example a brigade commander recently instituted his open door policy. The colonel personally announced to All of the soldiers in the brigade that if you have a prob Lem you can Call me and i la make you an appoint ment shortly before his proclamation a Soldier from my company was apprehended for violating usar eur regulations. The Soldier with a documented and pen pals plasm Del main your pen Pil column. Camj Isahl. P.k/94 mama a i in in f4paa ind Ltd Lika Lati at in pts. your a pal co Ciron.

Proven past of poor performance was facing punish ment under article 15, Ucma. Once the open door policy was announced the Soldier without informing his Chain of command arranged for a meeting with the brigade commander. The company commander company first sergeant Battal Ion sergeant major and battalion commander were not notified of the meeting until the Soldier s requested transportation from inc company to brigade Headquarters the night before the meeting. During the course of the meeting with the brigade commander the Soldier made several allegations against inc officers and cos in his Chain of com Mand. The issues that were brought up were Over a year old and did not concern this individual Soldier. The incidents had been litigated and solved profession ally by the leaders in the Chain of command. When the Soldier made the allegation Hal an officer wilfully endangered the life of a Soldier inc brigade commander ordered an investigation. Although the investigation which did Noi include the officer responding to the charges Wilh the brigade commander present exonerated the officer of the charges and proved the Soldier s a lyrics false it also acted As a smoke screen the Soldier used the open door policy to divert attention away from his Ucma proceedings by coaxing the brigade commander to initiate an investigation against the Soldier s Superior the old Best defense is a Good offence theory. In the end the Soldier will receive his punishment but it will be tempered so As not to promote More open door visits. Perhaps the greatest injustice of this policy is the discontent it Fosters among the subordinate leaders due to their inability to personally re Spond to the charges levelled against them. It is More evident with the reaction of the brigade and battalion commanders coming to the conclusion that this Junior Leader has a problem dealing with his soldiers. No account has been made thai the charge against the officer were made by a proven sub Par Soldier who represents less than i percent of the Oft car s total charges a in closing 1 would like to reiterate thai the open door policy of senior officers White in theory is Good in practice fails. It fails the subordinate leaders by allowing the soldiers to falsely accuse thus branding a Leader in inc eyes of his senior officers who do not have inc Opportunity to evaluate the Junior Leader daily. And it hinders the use of the Chain of command. ,. Name and location withheld these.
