Narrative:
Aircraft arrived with multiple PIREPS. In one of them I had to defer the engine high stage bleed valve per the MEL 36-2B. Within this MEL it also asked to defer the right thrust reverser and the hydraulic motor generator, MEL 78-01 and 24-13 respectively. I did not enter these 2 in the logbook because I believed they were covered by MEL 36-2B.
