                      RECOMMENDATIONS #3:

                      3a. Put one individual, a recovery project manager (PM)
                 reporting directly to the Under-secretary of MPW in charge and
                 responsible for recovery, operations. This individual will
                 have the responsibility, authority, and resources to expedite
                 recovery.   'Avoid interferences with short term recovery
                 efforts by giving appropriate authority and resources to the
                 PM.  Give the Contractor the goal in terms of operational
                 capability, target dates, and resources,, and leave day to day
                 decisions to him.       Periodic reviews of progress are
                 appropriate.    Figure 4 is a recommended format for more
                 detailed reporting on critical components of the sewage
                 collection and treatment system. (MPW)
                      3b. MPW should designate a logistical and I>rocur@ent
                 expediter to assist the PM. Reference is made to conclusion
                 #6 and recommendations 6a, 6b,     66.

                      CONCLUSION #4-

                      OXI must staff for recovery management and execution. OKI
                 staff ing has. been slow in coming and has an apparent focus
                 based on training and background in the O&M aspects of routine
                 operations - not emergency recovery effort management. The
                 stated reasons for slow staffing includes problems with visa
                 approval - it is reported that problem has been solvede but
                 needs to be monitored by MPW.

                      RECOMMENDATION 14:

                      The Project Manager should review the existing contract
                 between the Government of Kuwait and ONI regarding recovery
it to include better
                 definition of -recovery versus normal O&M efforts, performance
                 schedules and reporting, minimal personnel staffing levels,
                 and other considerations. (MPW)


                      CONCLUSION #5:

                      Thor* has been inadequate or no apparent interaction and
                 coordination between the various ministries involved either
                 directly. or indirectly in solving the sanitary system recovery
                 problems.  The Project manager should be designated an the
                 chairman of an inter-minixtry committee which includes
                 XiniStrieS Of E100tricitY and Water, Pub     lic Health,, and
                 communication.    There are obvious. critical relationships.
