            1. (U) JULLS NUMBER: 40448-34805 (00388), submitted by RILEY
            AFZN-PA-ED, Ms Morales, 856-6481, (913)239-6481.

            4. (U) TITLE, Personnel: Language Translators For Family Members

            5. (u) OBSERVATION: Many non-English speaking spouses in need of
            services and/or referrals were unable to effectively communicate
            their needs.


            6. (u) DISCUSSION: Several spouses accompanied by their
            military sponsor at the FAC, encountered problems communicating
            with service representatives. Many are currently enrolled in
            ESL classes, but translators should be accessible for the most
            common ethnic groups: Korean and Hispanic. These spouses
            are now involuntarily required to pay bills, grocery shop, etc.

            7. (u) LESSON LEARNED: Translators are a vital requirement for
            the FAC.

            B. (u) RECOMMENDED ACTION: that there exist a list of
            volunteers to serve as translators, on call, as the need arises,
            to participate in FA functions or in specific services as
            needed.
