Due mainly to the problems of bringing the Water Filtration system on line, I have been . unable to use all of my vacation. Therefore, I am requesting to carry over approximately 85 hours until February 28, 1997. If the weather cooperates and the filtration systems operates well, I am confident I can have my vacation burned down by February 28.
