              holding area.     (SOLir-CE? - Wash Site Inspector/E3upervisor).

              4.  U@'AREUR cleaning standards nay be much less stringent than
              CONUS standards.     However., CONUS based units attached to USAREUR
              MSC'5 will encounter the tougher standards.         Special MSC
              attention and assistance' nay be regained -For these CONUS units.

              5.   CONCLUSION:    The competition for resources in Dh,-,haran is
              extremely keen and our @bility to favorably influence procedures
              rp,a,,7, be limited. Freoar-@tion and high st-@r-.,darls established in
              the RAA's will pay b   ig dividends when vehicles go to port.
