Dear Gentlemen:.

During our negotiations concerning crew consist
issues, your Organization raised several issues concerning
deadheading. It was alleged that certain provisions of Article
VI-Deadheading of the 1985 National Agreement unfairly impacted
a few trainmen.

A review of these issues revealed that when and how
often a trainman is deadheaded is partially controlled by other
factors including work rules. Some of the factors include not
being rested, two or more crews called at the same time, run-
around rules and held-away-from-home problems.

It is believed that the most productive method of
dealing with these problems is to form a committee of Local
Chairmen, Assistant Directors of Labor Relations and Managers of
CMS to identify all the problems and propose solutions to us.
This would permit us to deal with the entire deadheading situa-
tion as a whole and not on a piecemeal basis. These discussions
would be handled as a part of the quarterly conferences referred
to in Letter #1 herein.

Should this be agreeable to you, please acknowledge by
signing below.

Yours truly,

L. A. Lambert
Director Labor Relations

AGREED:
