Subject: The hold has been lifted

This took longer than we expected but Sen. Hutchison and Rep Gohmert have sent a letter to Mr. Whitaker lifting the hold they had requested on property transfers at Longhorn. We will resume transfers of available property immediately. I know that this has been a bit frustrating but full public participation resulted in a good decision and the citizens of East Texas have a great natural asset to enjoy.

Take care

Tom
