project.  These meetings greatly assisted in moving the ICP 
project to a decision level within the GOT.  EXBS Advisor's

information, participation in meetings with senior MFA and 
Turkish General Staff officials and coordination of support 
in preparation of a high level delegation to travel to the

sub-contractor, reporting requirements and other details of
