PEAK TRANSFER SEASON 2009

UNCLAS SECTION 01 OF 03 STATE 059866 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ATRN AMGT AFIN KSEP SUBJECT: PEAK TRANSFER SEASON 2009 ¶1. SUMMARY. In the past A/LM has sent an ALDAC to posts prior to each transfer season to cover key travel and transportation topics. The number of topics and the length of the ALDAC has expanded to the point that we decided to try a different approach this year. The bulk of useful information on the shipment of personal effects and supplies can be found on the A/LM webpage and the ELSO web page, respectively, located at: http://lm.a.state.gov/ and http://elso.a.state.gov/. END SUMMARY. ¶2. To help you more easily find the travel and transportation information you are seeking, we have categorized and then alphabetically listed some topics, references, and contacts that can be found on-line. If you need additional assistance finding information, please send your questions to TransportationQuery@state.gov. ¶3.
