Fwd: An unhappy rumor

[Park, Lynda]

I checked with some people in the State Department and the Department of Defense, and they have indicated to me that there is no discussion of removing Russian from its critical language list.

Dear Stuart,
Thanks for your most recent post of clarification to SEELANGS. I'm
having problems posting to the list due to a recent email change, but I
wanted to send you a link to a document that lists all priority
languages and the federal agencies that require expertise in them (NB:
State Department is not included on this list). Note that in 2012
Russian remains a priority language for nearly all federal agencies.
