Dear Sir:

This will confirm our discussions concerning the Conductor-only Crew Consist negotiations. 

The parties agreed to changes in pre-existing Crew Consist Agreements covering the Oregon Division to provide for the following moratorium, and it is agreed this moratorium will not be changed, altered, nor nullified by any National Agreement, nor by recommendations of any Board designated to review same. It is further understood that without prejudice to the position of either party, with respect to the propriety of the Carrier's Notice, this agreement fulfills the requirements of Presidential Emergency Board #219 with respect to the Crew Consist issues and mandatory promotion: 

"The parties to this Agreement shall not serve, progress, nor be bound by future National handling, except as provided for in this Agreement, prior to the attrition of all protected employees, any notice or proposal for changing the specific provisions of this Agreement governing pure attrition, protected employees, car limits and train length (which have been eliminated by Crew Consist Modification Agreements), special allowance payment to reduced crew members, reserve boards and reserve board payments, employee productivity payments and administration thereof. 

This section will not bar the parties from making changes in the above provisions by mutual agreement." 

If the foregoing adequately sets forth our understanding and agreement please so indicate by signing in the space provided. 

Yours truly,

L. A. Lambert
Director Labor Relations 

AGREED:

L.L. Nelson
