Secretary Samuel Bodman
United States Department of Energy
1000 Independence Avenue, SW
Washington, DC 20585
Dear Secretary Bodman:
I am writing this letter on behalf of several of my constituents, who
are retirees from Department of Energy facilities in Oak Ridge,
regarding their continued efforts to obtain an increase in their
pension benefits. Several constituents as well as members of the
Coalition of Oak Ridge Retired Employees (CORRE) have contacted my
office requesting additional assistance with this issue.
In recent correspondence forwarded to my office, representatives from
CORRE have also expressed their concerns about the possible withholding
of Part D Medicare funds from contractors for partial payments of their
costs of maintaining drug benefits for retirees.
Since taking office, I have worked with my colleagues in the Congress
to address CORRE’s pension issues as well as other issues
important to the Oak Ridge facilities. It is my hope that through
working with contractors, the Department of Energy, my congressional
colleagues and all CORRE members, this situation can be resolved in the
very near future.
I would respectfully request that the Department of Energy revisit the
retirees’ concerns about their pension benefits and attempt to
resolve this issue in such a manner that provides fair and equitable
treatment to all concerned. I would also request any information
you can provide which would address concerns expressed by members of
CORRE about the Part D Medicare funds.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I look forward
to hearing from you in the near future. Please do not hesitate to
contact my office with any additional questions regarding this issue.
Sincerely,
Lincoln Davis
Member of Congress TN-04
