                  3:SSjYE No. 4: RECOVERY EXECUTION

                         CONCLUSION 14:

                         OMI must staff for recovery management and execution. OMI
                  staffing has been slow in coming and has an apparent focus
                  based on training and background in the O&M aspects of routine
                  operations - not emergency recovery effort management. The
                  stated reasons for slow staffing includes problems with visa
                  approval - it is reported that problem has been solved, but
                  needs to be monitored by MPW.

                         RECO     ATION iF4:

                         The Project Manager should review the existing contract
                  between the Government of Kuwait and OMI regarding recovery
 of modifying it to include better
                  definition of recovery versus normal O&M efforts, performance
                  schedules and reporting, minimal personnel staffing levels,
                  and other considerations. (MPW)
