   to come with them. Col Sylvester speaks to something less than a
   third of what he believes he needs, maybe about a 6th of what we
   think he needs; but he will be back later with the staff and get
   into the details of it. That's all I have, sir.
   COL HASTINGS: Just one thing, sir.          @spoke with you
   yesterday, and for the information of everybody else that has      5 U.S.C. 552
   anything to do with the Saudi liaison officer, he's one man ana
   he's a hell of a pipeline, but we got a lot of stuff that has to (b)(6)
   go through that very small pipeline, so we are going to have to
   get us all together, those of us who are going to deal with
          and talk about how we are going to want to do this. We
   coup "inundate him in a heartbeat, but as it stands right now
   this is one more of those examples of bureaucratic things that
   can happen to us. We can send things all the way to Riyadh to
   VIODA, if it doesn't have his chop on it it could come back to us,
   whether that's operational or logistical, either way, so we are
   going to have to get our heads together there, G-3 and G-4, and
   anybody else that has anything to do with it.

            : one other thing for the benefit of those here,
   ikais still in the area. He still is very influential with
   the Royal Commission. He was very instrumental in us making         5 U.S.C. 552
   headway in that area for the fleet hospital, so if you see him      (b)(6)
   around, he's still very much a player.

   COL HASTINGS: Lastly, today, as everybody I hope is well aware,
   we have Gen Gray, LtGen Mundy, LtGen Winglass, LtGen Williams,
   MGen Sheehan and assorted other representatives arriving very
   shortly. We have decentralized control of a number of these
   assets. We have action officers - the action officer on Gen
   Winglass is Gen Brabham and of course the G-4; the action officer
   on Gen Mundy is his able MEF liaison officer; Gen Williams is
   John Oppenbuizen and Maj Breen and also the Wing CG; Gen Sheehan
   is the G-1 and I'm not sure anybody will handle Gen Gray, but we
   will give it a try. In any case, we are going to have to move,
   shoot and communicate simultaneously with these things, so stay
   alert, Gentlemen.

           Leaving here, those common areas that you walk through,
   if that common area belongs to you and its got coffee stains and
   cookie droppings and whatever else around there, make sure we get
   it policed up. I saw policing going on, we still got a long way
   to go to spruce up. Be in here this afternoon for some
   briefings, be over in the other side at noon for some lunch. I
   want you to stay away from those areas in a sense that you add
   traffic to it. You got business, that's great, but just come
   lookie loo or any of that business.

           As far as this meeting is concerned this afternoon, it is
   a MEF brief of these officers, it is not intended for the
   participation of the MSCs. Request that if you don't already
   know that you're going to attend this thing and have a speaking
   part, that you not try to add yourself to this list. We have
   very little room in here. We want to keep it as cool as
   possible. We will have some guys standing outside here awaiting
