Richard,

This is just to confirm that we will follow up on Barry Kefauver, former DAS in Consular Affairs, who raised a concern about
translators involved in visa issuance.
Tom Eldridge is principally responsible for matters involving the State Department, so he will make the contact and schedule the
interview. I will alert him to the factors you mentioned on Friday. Let us know if you'd like to know the date of the interview.

Thanks also for your kind words for Team 5.

Susan
