Dear
This has been a difficult year for the Chambers Corporation. I am sure that
you all know that the loss of our three contracts with the United States Air
Force, due to the cut-back in defense appropriations, hurt us substantially.
In July, we had a major decision to make. The question we were faced with
was whether to let some of our employees go,or to explore all other possible
avenues of cost reduction,keeping everyone's job intact. We chose the latter
course. Unfortunately, one of the policies we were forced to eliminate for this
year, was our annual Christmas bonus to each of our employees.
This will be the first year since 1976 that we will be unable to thank you
in this special manner for your hard work, loyalty and faithfulness. We are all
hoping that 1986 will be a prosperous year and that we will be able to reinstate
our traditional Christmas bonus policy.
