                 ef forts which afford numerous opportunities for more effective

                      RECOM M DATION IS:

                      initiate dil  igent efforts to coordinate Ministry
                 cooperation in addressing recovery from a perspective of
                 Kuwait interest rather than individual Ministry perspective.
                 Examples of the type of cooperation needed are typified by
                 addressing issues such as; (1) the best use of tertiary
                 treated effluent from sewage treatment plants - fire fighting
                 or irrigation, (2) control of water supply from a perspective
                 of recovery of the sewage collection and treatment, and (3)
                 electric power availability delaying LTahra sewage treatment
                 plant recovery. Also, the excess potable water production
                 capacity of Al-Zour power being wasted to the sea rather than
                 seeking beneficial usage for fire fighting, irrigation or
                 other purpose.


                      CONCLUSION f6:
                                I
                      Restoration of sanitary sewer collection system pump.
                 stations is being impeded by long delivery times for pump
                 motors which are to replace existing equipment. Times for
                 delivery of 6 months to almost one year (45 weeks) are
                 currently anticipated by OMI. Premium payments and expedited
                 delivery should- b6 considered in a review and alternatives
                 evaluation.-

                      RECOMMENDATIONS if6:

                      6a. Provide an expediter reporting directly under the
 PM. The expediters responsibility include identifying and
                 obtaining critical items required for repair.
                      6b. The expediter will relview.the situation regarding
                 the reported long lead times for procurement of key components
                 required for- the restoration of the sewage collection and
                 treatment systems, and for critical repairs with the goal of
                 expediting procurement or repair of critical components even
                 if at premium costs.' The Corps of Engineers could prepare to
                 offer assistance in facilitating procurement, repair or
                 delivery to Kuwait. -(MPW, OMI)
                            The expediter will consider implementing these
                      .6c.
                 possible solutions to the problem of long lead times for
                 procurement of replacement parts: (1) investigate other
                 sources of supply, and (2) shipment of the defective equipment
                 abroad for repair. Sources of supply may be large cities in
