I have visited Salem several times over the years.  Love your city.  I recently submitted a proposal to David Simas, Senior Presidential Adviser.  This proposal could potentially save hundreds of millions of dollars for American taxpayers.  Mr. Simas did not respond.  Perhaps he is not as loyal to his boss as some might think.  Some of these savings could be used to keep open some of the air traffic control towers slated for closure or perhaps provide additional flying hours to units that support our nuclear strike capability to deter North Korea's aggressive actions.  I also submitted this proposal to numerous local and national news agencies with no response.  Apparently, no one is interested in savings taxpayer money.    Bruce Willden Garden City, Utah
