checking account valid until 08/31/08. Post requests that this
authorization be extended to allow principal cashier, Muge
Kocak, to continue using the checking account.

b. Cashier's name: Muge Kocak
c. Cashier code: TRB

e. Purpose: Receive replenishment and make vendor payments.
f. Justification: Turnover time for receiving checks from
Charleston typically takes up to 21 days, which creates
significant issues with Posts' paying vendors on time. In
addition, the Consulate's location outside of downtown Adana
requires that the cashier's carrying checks to the downtown
bank requires a physical security escort.

re-authorization for Class B Cashier Muge Kocak to continue
operating a cashier Checking account.
