A Follow-Up Letter

As of April 25, 2017, I still haven't heard from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, so today I sent the following letter:



April 25, 2017

                                                                      James W. Collins
                                                                      13112 Appaloosa Chase Dr.
                                                                      Austin, TX  78732

U.S. Customs and Border Protection
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C.  20229

Re:  Need for a wall through Big Bend National Park; previously sent letter

Dear Sir or Madame:

          On March 1. 2017, I sent a letter to Secretary Kelly asking him

“First:  What will you tell Congressman Williams regarding the need to build a wall through Big Bend National Park?

“Second:  If you tell Congressman Williams that it is necessary to build a wall through Big Bend National Park, will you tell him that such a wall could just as effectively be built north of the park?”

          Later I received a letter from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection dated March 17, 2017, acknowledging receipt of my letter to Secretary Kelly and stating that “DHS has asked that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) respond on its behalf.”

          The letter further states that “[w]e have forwarded your letter to the appropriate CBP office,” but it does not state to which it was forwarded.

          On March 29, 2017, I sent a letter to this address asking for the name of the office or person to which or whom my letter was forwarded.  To date, neither that letter nor my original letter to Secretary Kelly have received any response.

          May I please know the name of the office or person to which or whom my letter was forwarded?

          Thank you for your time and attention.

                                                                                Sincerely,



                                                                                James W. Collins

Cc:  Secretary John Kelly
       Congressman Roger Williams
