A VERY TIMELY MANNER AND WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WHEN LEAVE AND
EARNINGS STATEMENTS SHOWED UP.  A BIG THANKS TO THE CENTAF/AC STAFF
FOR THEIR EFFORTS IN BOTH AREAS.

D.	CONTRACTING POSITION:  THE DECISION OF THE SAUDIS TO FUND
OUR TRANSPORTATION AND FACILITIES REQUIREMENTS AND THE RESULTANT
CHANGE REQUIRING OUR CONTRACTS IS FINALLY OFF TO A SHAKY START.
THREE WEEKS AGO, WE PUT OUR FACILITY AND VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS TO
SUPPORT THE THREE INBOUND A-10 UNITS (ONE OF WHICH IS ALREADY HERE),
THE IMMINENT APOE/APOD SURGE AT KING FAHD AND ACTIVATION OF OUR NEW
FOL AT KKMC INTO THE SAUDI CONTRACT APPROVAL SYSTEM.  WE EMPHASIZED
THAT THESE REQUIREMENTS WERE URGENT, BUT WE HAD NO MOVEMENT ON ANY OF
OUR REQUESTS UNTIL 7 DEC WHEN WE RECEIVED GO AHEAD TO PURCHASE
TRAILERS FOR OPS AND AMU OPERATIONS.  WE ARE STILL WORKING THE
VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS, ETC.  HOPEFULLY, THE SYSTEM WILL BECOME MUCH
MORE RESPONSIVE.
