COLONEL PETTINGOHN				22 AUG 90

SIR

LOOKED OVER THE "TENT CITY" SITE.  THESE ARE OUR
COMMENTS AS WE SEE IT TONIGHT.

1.  DRAINAGE DITCH OTHER SIDE OF HARDTOP ROAD.
    --CONCERNED WITH WATER STAGNATION (FROM SHOWERS, WASHING)
    --WATER BACKUP AND POTENTIAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.

2.  PARKING IS INADEQUATE AND ROAD SYSTEM WILL BE CONGESTED.

	[(b)(1)sec3.4(b)(6)]

4.  WILL NEED CONTRACT SEWAGE PICKUP AND REFUGE DISPOSAL.

5.  SITE WILL ACCOMMODATE:
    --154 SLEEPING TENTS (1540 PEOPLE)
    --NO ROOM FOR SHOWERS, LATRINES OR DINING FACILITY.
    --REDUCTIONS TO ACCOMMODATE ABOVE, REDUCES NUMBER OF SLEEPING TENTS.
    --ASSUMES ELECTRICAL POWER FROM SUB-STATION ACROSS THE ROAD.
      OTHERWISE GENERATORS WILL FURTHER REDUCE THE NUMBER OF 
      SLEEPING TENTS.

OTHER CONCERNS:

1.  TYPES OF TENTS AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT IS UNKNOWN, WHICH
    IMPACTS OUR ABILITY TO ESTIMATE ERECTION TIME.  THIS COULD 
    TAKE ANY TIME FROM A FEW DAYS TO OVER A WEEK.

2.  CURRENT SITE IS INADEQUATE FOR THE NUMBER OF FORCES; WHICH
    LEADS TO MULTIPLE SITES; WHICH FURTHER LEADS TO ADDITIONAL
    EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS.
