which he must attend in connection with the wort. of his Section, and hie
preparation for departure, it would be extremely inconvenient for Idajor
Lea to have to be away for so lon? a period of time. Furthermore, in view
of Ida j. Lees three years of experience with the agency in both administrative
and operational capacity, and including satisfactory pertormenoe under trying
field conditions overseas, it is believed that this is an appropriate Dees
to great ouch a waiver.

et the prescribed medical lectures. Idajor Lee was born is China, and lived
there ten years, and is well versed in the basic rules i'or preserving good
