RMKS/1.  I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE
 DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY TEAM FOR YOUR UNPRECEDENTED SUPPORT TO THE
 "FEDS FEED FAMILIES" ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE.

2.  SAILORS, MARINES, AND CIVILIANS AT SHORE AND FLEET INSTALLATIONS
 WORLDWIDE CONTRIBUTED OVER 1,265,000 LBS OF NON-PERISHABLE FOOD AND
 HYGIENE ITEMS TO LOCAL FOOD BANKS ACROSS THE NATION AND OVERSEAS.
 THIS OUTSTANDING SHOW OF SUPPORT TRIPLED THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
 GOAL AND BEAT OUR BEST BY OVER 400,000 LBS.  THE NAVY AND MARINE
 CORPS CONTRIBUTIONS PROPELLED THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO SURPASS
 ITS GOAL WITH LOCAL FOOD BANKS RECEIVING OVER 2 MILLION POUNDS OF
 FOOD AND HYGIENE ITEMS.

3.  MY SPECIAL THANKS GO TO THE COMMANDERS OF THE NAVY AND MARINE
 CORPS INSTALLATION COMMANDS, AND THE NAVY CHAPLAIN CORPS FOR THEIR
