CHAMIEH AND SALIBA NAMED
TO NEW ACCOUNTANCY POSTS
Both Suhayl M. Chamieh
and Kalim
.• aliba, who
were promoted respectively
to the positions of Chief
Accountant and Assistant
Chief Accountant effective
November 1, ha\'e had remarkable careers in areas
of accountancy.
During their employment
with Tapline, both successfully completed in December
1959 the first Executive De\'e!opment Program held in
Lebanon at the Beirut Industry Institute. One year
later, they attended a oneweek seminar with l\Iobil
Oil in :t'-<ew York.
Born in Dama cus where
his father 0\\ ned and managed a hotel, :\Ir. Chamieh,
39, specialized in Business
Administration at AUB hoping to assist his father one
day,
pon graduation in 19+3
with a BBA, however, he

Tapline and the Saudi
Arab Go\'ernment ha\'e joined forces to provide nondirectional radio beacons
(NDB's) along ADR372.
For those of us \\ ho don't
fly airplanes it might be well
to explain that ADR372 is
the official air corridor designated by the Saudi Arab
GQ\'ernment for all eastwest commercial air traffic
and that it essentially follows
along Tapline.
The :t'-<DBs are used by
the airlines to set their
courses, and in some cases to
fix their positions.
With the advent of the
commercial jet aircraft and
a general increase in air
traffic the Saudi Go\'ernment recognized the need
for more powerful and more
reliable radio beacons. Tapline was at this time considering the need to replace
its old beacons with more
modern but less costly and
lower powered equipment
for use by its own aircraft.
After discussion of mutual needs, an arrangement
was agreed upon wherein
the Saudi Government paid
the added co t of new beacons of sufficient power
and reliability to meet the
requirements' of the commercial airlines, to be installed at Qaisumah and Badanah. In return Tapline
contributed to the cost of
the new beacons by the
amount it would have paid
to replace its old beacons,
and in addition agreed to
install and operate the new
facilities on behalf of the
Government. In addition
Tapline ha installed low
po\\'er units for its own use
at Rafha and Turaif.
The new equipment at
Qaisumah and Badanah includes a dual 1000 watt
beacon transmitter with automatic change-over equipment. The automatic change-over turns on the standby equipment if any fault
should occur in the main
transmitter.
