PLP Meeting

Today I had a meeting with Engineer Hamed Hamad, one of those who have emerged recently as one of the true leaders of Fallujah. Hamed sits on the Fallujah Reconstruction Committee, the Fallujah City Council, and was elected to the Al-Anbar Provincial Council. That's Hamed in the center of the picture.

Hamed and his team do all the hard prep work for the Property Lease Program (see below for more explanation of the PLP). That is, they actually assess the properties, collect documentation, and submit the completed claim packages to us. We then check the documentation, prepare the leases (through CREST), and execute the leases and payments.

I wanted to meet with Hamed and his fellas to ensure we were all on the same sheet of music for the upcoming PLP execution. Since Chris will be escorting Hamed's team around the city, I asked him to sit in (that's Chris and his interpreter next to Hamed). We got some good work done, and agreed on a target date for completion of the program. We will be mission complete by 1 September, insh'Allah.
