We conveyed reftel request for an LNO for tsunami relief
January 6 to Bertrand Besancenot, the Defense Minister's
Diplomatic Advisor. The Defense Attache's office made a
similar request to its contacts at the MOD's Planning and
Operations center. We have been advised that the French are
moving quickly to select a candidate, who may be LCL Chadtal,
