memo

A Friday military memo seen by AFP said six soldiers were killed and six others injured in the attack.

The memo was also sent to Powell and Geoffrey Norris, one of Sir Tony's special advisers.

A task force with dozens of employees was created in early July to help process the spending approval memos.

“This approach reflects a European Chairman setup, which is quite different from a traditional U.S. one that many of you might be familiar with,” Ek wrote in a memo to staff.

But some worried that a mere executive memo and a simple congressional statute might not suffice.
