HR/EX - FOR BONNIE PATES 
 
E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: AMGT APER LT
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR LAYETTE SHIPMENT FOR ROBERT E. MELVIN ON BEHALF 
OF EMBASSY MASERU 
 
Post requests that HR/EX authorize a complete layette shipment 
for Robert E. Melvin.  Mr. Melvin has been assigned to Mission 
Maseru (ETA February 2010). 
 
¶2.  This request is being made because of the extreme scarcity, 
poor quality, and inadequate safety feature of provisions 
necessary for raising a newborn child in Lesotho (i.e., 
clothing, equipment, supplies, etc.).  Post will do its best to 
assist Mr. Melvin but our supplies and suppliers are limited in 
this area. 
 
¶3.  Post appreciates HR/EX's favorable consideration of this 
request.  POC for this issue is Management Officer, Craig 
Anderson, AndersonCA@state.gov.  He can be reached on tel: 
(+266) 22 312 666 ext. 4113.  IVG:  653-4113.
