MEMO DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AIRFORCE MEMORANDUM FOR TRAVEL CLERK 28 November 09 SUBJECT: Medical Seminar Prague November I recently attended this seminar and I was delighted with the high standard of the presentations as well as the range of new medical equipment available for purchase. 2. I do have some concerns about the arrangements for registration and accommodation. Before I travelled to the Conference I had not received any information about my registration or accommodation. There was no reply address and I was unable to contact you on your cell phone. The hotel had no record of my booking and your staff were unable to locate my registration details until the second day of the Seminar. 3. For the future, I recommend that you acknowledge registration and accommodation details by return well beforehand and provide a reliable mobile phone contact. J.B. SMITH Medical Administration Cc: HQ Logistics
