please review the attached and let me know what needs to be updated by 3:30 pm today.
If you know that a particular offer has been accepted (by OFDAIFEMA) or is proceeding on a mil-mil basis please so
indicate.
I will then take your improvements and forward them to the TF, although you may also cc the TF when/as you send me

Many thanks.

I just received a dip note from the Croatian Government in which they formally offer 6 forensic specialists -- to whom
should I send this note? If you have a fax number I would be happy to send it up to you.
[the same holds true for a letter we received from the Albanian PM-designate to POTUS in which the PM makes the
Albanian offer]
Thanks, mitch

I am sorry, but I am afraid I have not been able to make myself understood.
I have hard copies of a dip note (from the Croatian Government) and a letter (from the Albanian Government) -- these are
not on email and cannot be emailed.
The raw facts you already have - for Albania it's $300,000 and "sanitary-medical teams of doctors and nurses" and for
Croatia it is six (6) forensic specialists.
What I have been trying to find out is to whom. should I send the formal notifications of the above? If it is not the Task
Force then I would appreciate knowing that.
