Gentlemen, for your information below. Werner GFC To whom it may concern from experience speaking! RSO Niall, Please be aware and as you have requested my elaboration in written format. As briefly discussed in the meeting today, the LGF operate at what I would consider the "Threshold' Sleep Deprivation. Further meaning, that our work schedule, hours and sleeping pattern' the LGF very close to the edge of serious sleep deprivation. When we have to work go., time or ramp up extra manpower (during scheduled off days) due to increased threw . etc...etc...; we further compound the issue of sleep deprivation. This ultimately dirnin it,: LGF's ability to provide security. To better explain, here is where it starts, the LGF work 3 days then transition (swing shift) into . nights then transition into 3 days off (it used to be 2x2x2). Each work day equals 14 actin I I!(-) of work; Supervisor's can average up to 15 hours per work day. Snap shot of an average day for a shift: 1. 05:00hrs every day, Shift Brief for on-going shift, along with "In-Service Training". . I Convoy Brief, followed by convoy load time and organization for entire shift (approx i during the day) followed by actual convoy movement. 2. 05:45 to 06:15hrs. (approximately) you have the shift change over on site, 3. 06:15 to 17:45, regular work day on site. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764036 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764036 Date: 07/31/2015 4. 17:45 to 18:15, Shift change over, followed by reorganization of convoy for off-going. slii then actual convoy movement 5. 18:30 (approximately) Off-going shift returns to Camp Sullivan, weapons and equipment are down loaded and convoy equipment is stowed, vehicle's re-staged in parking lot. 6. 19:00 (approximately) Off-going shift is complete, all equipment is accounted for and secured, they are then on personnel time whether to work out and train, eat dinner, watch movie, internet, phone calls, sleep or etc. 7. 10 hours later, it starts all over with a 05:00hrs Shift Brief not taking into considers tit wake-up and grooming and breakfast. This averages an actual 14 hour day for each LGF member. Some days can be as short a, hours and some days as long as 14.5 hours. Supervisor's can average an additional (approximate) 30 minutes prior to and after a shift conducting administrative duties and or ,;1 organization. All personal hygiene, laundry, personal e-mail/matters, Physical fitness, usually meals and sleep must be conducted within the 10 hour window between an individual's shifts. After completing the 3 days in a work cycle which ends at 19:00hrs, the shifts swings into night shift schedule. Their next duty starts at 17:00hrs the following day for the evening briefmg. This is a 22 hour transition window which most LGF only sleep once and are again with the same 14 hour schedule for their first night shift. This can be viewed as gea i one good sleep in for a 36 hours window of time (by the end of their first night shift, fol two more night shifts). When finishing their last night shift, they are immediately off, however, do to working ah (arriving back at Camp Sullivan around 06:30) they sleep most of the first day off. They the have to adjust back into a night-time sleeping pattern. The second day off is a designated training day. Third day is a scheduled off day. If you average this work schedule out over the course of a month, an LGF member transitio', from a day to night sleeping pattern on average of 7 times. It's nearly impossible to establish rhythmic sleeping pattern. This is what causes the sleep deprivation. You can see its efftiek over the course of time. When a shift gets back on ground after an R&R, they are fresh and rt , of energy, as compared to a shift that is been in the grind for 7 or 8 weeks and sometint,:.. after 5 and 6 weeks.

It also requires rapid intervention in emerging crisis situations, such as potential regional conflict flashpoints in the Caucasus, Central Asia or the Balkans. The PermRep to the OSCE is also responsible for overseeing OSCE operations in 18 countries of Europe and Central Asia, while overseeing a staff of 30 professionals in Vienna and an additional 50 Americans seconded to OSCE Missions and field offices spread from Tirana to Tashkent. The briefing memo endorsed by Secretary Clinton on "Revitalizing the OSCE" noted the importance of assigning a strong Ambassador to this key position -- a need that is only heightened as it appears the Organization is about to embark on a multi-year major strategic review and negotiation of principles and mechanisms to underpin European security architecture. Thus, the Ambassador to the U.S. Mission to the OSCE will also have to be very sensitive to negotiations and trends elsewhere in Europe, including in a bilateral USRussian track, in NATO, and in US-EU relations, as well as overseeing negotiations to revive conventional arms control in the European theater. In-depth knowledge of the former Soviet Union region and Russian language skills are a major plus for the Permanent Representative, as this is a primary forum for interaction with Russia and Central Asian countries on a daily basis. Strong public speaking skills are also a must, as the U.S. Ambassador to the OSCE is expected to speak on the record in hundreds of public statements each year on issues of concern to two different regional bureaus (EUR and SCA) and four functional bureaus (VCI, DRL, EB, and RPM).

Thanks. cdm From: Sent: Sunday, May 03, 2009 1:20 PM To: Mills, Cheryl D Subject: Re: Support for Italian Restoration of Cultural Monuments Will do — looking forward to it. BTW, have you officially signed off oon my job description, per our discussion? I assume so, but that also means paperwork, a staff assistant, and VERY IMPORTANT, an office for me and my team, which now counts 6 permanent staff. We really need an office on the 7th floor, with representational space, as I will be bringing in CEO's, Foundation presidents, and other prominent individuals on a range of isues, and they'll need to know that, the Secretary takes these public/private initiatives seriously. There is some good space on the 7th floor (suite 7427 has been vacated by the CFO and would be perfect), and there might also be extra space in the newly renovated old wing, where Judith McHale and R will be moving. In any event, I plan to hit the ground running on June 1, so I'll need a secretary and office asap, as I'm in effect coming into State every day anyway, but Pat won't make a move without your authorization.

Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 7:38 PM. To: 'Cheryl Mills'; Mills, Cheryl D Cc: Toiv, Nora F Subject: Daniel Yohannes is from Ethiopia The Uncommon Trustee FROM ETHIOPIA TO L.A. WITH $150 IN HIS POCKET, DANIEL YOHANNES BRINGS A QUIET DETERMINATION TO HIS TRUSTEE ROLE. By Leah Arroyo This article was published in Museum, July/August 2008. Trustee. The word brings to mind a venerable patrician of senior years, "trusted" to guide the interests of an organization or individual with wisdom and perspective. Someone with old-boy or -girl connections, decades of expertise and, especially, big bucks— not to mention the ability to pry others away from theirs. Ascot not required, but it couldn't hurt. In certain ways, Daniel Yohannes of Denver is not your typical museum trustee. At 17, with $150, he moved from Ethiopia to Los Angeles as an exchange student without knowing a soul. He immediately got a part-time job as a stock boy in a clothing store and went on to support himself through high school, Claremont McKenna College and the MBA program at Pepperdine. He began his banking career as a teller at Security Pacific Bank. But in other ways, Yohannes is the very portrait of a board member. At 55, the president and CEO of M&R Investments, a firm specializing in real estate, financial institutions and energy. A former vice chairman of U.S. Bancorp. A few years ago he started a bank in San Francisco on the side. His board membership extends from the financial (a Fortune 100 company) and educational (U.C. Denver Business School) to community organizations (the chamber of commerce, the National Jewish Hospital and Research Center, the Boy Scouts Council)—not to mention political service (chairing the transition team of Gov. Bill Ritter, Democrat of Colorado). And museums, a priority among the board invitations he has accepted. He served on the Smithsonian Institution's national board for six years and is now a trustee of the Denver Art Museum (DAM), where he established the Daniel Yohannes Family African Gallery. "I get a lot of my inspirations intellectually and culturally through art and history, primarily through museums," he says. "So when I was asked to sit on the [DAM] board, it was just a natural fit for me." For all his success, though, Yohannes hardly gives the impression of a Type-A personality. Courtly, soft-spoken, with a melodious accent paying homage to his Ethiopian roots despite his decades in the U.S., he is generous and unhurried with his time in interviews. On the phone, he asks how you are, what you've been up to lately; told that an interviewer just bought her first house, he chats for a few moments about how delightful and meaningful that purchase is. In person, for a conversation at the AAM Annual Meeting in Denver last spring, he walked into a rather dreary underground room in the convention center, suave in a conservative navy suit and warm in his greetings, politely oblivious to the tables cluttered with the conference staff's walkie-talkies, office supplies and assortment of snacks. The photographer got sent to the wrong room and his interviewer had to scurry the length of several football fields to find her? No problem; he'd reserved plenty of time to talk. "Take your time." And yet you can at times glimpse the calm determination of a man who gets things done and, moreover, fiAly expects to. Vicki Sterling, the Denver Art Museum's assistant director, says that "what was truly unique about working with [Yohannes] on the African gallery was his ability to bring together people from outside the regular museum donor community and get them interested in the Denver Art Museum." When you ask him how he did this, who these new museophiles were, you can almost hear him shrug over the phone. "Friends of mine, people I knew," he says. "They contributed because I asked them to." He also shrugs off the question of how he fits all his commitments into his schedule: "I think as long as there's a desire to get everything done, it gets done."

WITH $150 IN HIS POCKET, DANIEL YOHANNES BRINGS A QUIET DETERMINATION TO HIS TRUSTEE ROLE. By Leah Arroyo This article was published in Museum, July/August 2008. Trustee. The word brings to mind a venerable patrician of senior years, "trusted" to guide the interests of an organization or individual with wisdom and perspective. Someone with old-boy or -girl connections, decades of expertise and, especially, big bucks—not to mention the ability to pry others away from theirs. Ascot not required, but it couldn't hurt. 38 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761893 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761893 Date: 07/31/2015 In certain ways, Daniel Yohannes of Denver is not your typical museum trustee. At 17, with $150, he moved from Ethiopia to Los Angeles as an exchange student without knowing a soul. He immediately got a part-time job as a stock boy in a clothing store and went on to support himself through high school, Claremont McKenna College and the MBA program at Pepperdine. He began his banking career as a teller at Security Pacific Bank. But in other ways, Yohannes is the very portrait of a board member. At 55, the president and CEO of M&R Investments, a firm specializing in real estate, financial institutions and energy. A former vice chairman of U.S. Bancorp. A few years ago he started a bank in San Francisco on the side. His board membership extends from the financial (a Fortune 100 company) and educational (U.C. Denver Business School) to community organizations (the chamber of commerce, the National Jewish Hospital and Research Center, the Boy Scouts Council)—not to mention political service (chairing the transition team of Gov. Bill Ritter, Democrat of Colorado). And museums, a priority among the board invitations he has accepted. He served on the Smithsonian Institution's national board for six years and is now a trustee of the Denver Art Museum (DAM), where he established the Daniel Yohannes Family African Gallery. "I get a lot of my inspirations intellectually and culturally through art and history, primarily through museums," he says. "So when I was asked to sit on the [DAM] board, it was just a natural fit for me." For all his success, though, Yohannes hardly gives the impression of a Type-A personality. Courtly, soft-spoken, with a melodious accent paying homage to his Ethiopian roots despite his decades in the U.S., he is generous and unhurried with his time in interviews. On the phone, he asks how you are, what you've been up to lately; told that an interviewer just bought her first house, he chats for a few moments about how delightful and meaningful that purchase is. In person, for a conversation at the AAM Annual Meeting in Denver last spring, he walked into a rather dreary underground room in the convention center, suave in a conservative navy suit and warm in his greetings, politely oblivious to the tables cluttered with the conference staff's walkie-talkies, office supplies and assortment of snacks. The photographer got sent to the wrong room and his interviewer had to scurry the length of several football fields to find her? No problem; he'd reserved plenty of time to talk. "Take your time." And yet you can at times glimpse the calm determination of a man who gets things done and, moreover, fully expects to. Vicki Sterling, the Denver Art Museum's assistant director, says that "what was truly unique about working with [Yohannes] on the African gallery was his ability to bring together people from outside the regular museum donor community and get them interested in the Denver Art Museum." When you ask him how he did this, who these new museophiles were, you can almost hear him shrug over the phone. "Friends of mine, people I knew," he says. "They contributed because I asked them to." He also shrugs off the question of how he fits all his commitments into his schedule: "I think as long as there's a desire to get everything done, it gets done." Asked what he does for fun, he has to think for a moment. "That's a good one.... I walk, I play a little golf, do a little bicycling, sightseeing." He also collects art, particularly African works, inspired years ago by his travels, though "only as a hobby." Last but not least, he cherishes spending time with his three children, two of whom live in the area, and was overjoyed to become a grandfather in May ("She's beautiful," he beams). You walk away from him with an impression of a quietly dynamic man who has more priorities than most of us but can somehow bring extraordinary focus to each in turn. He says he was driven from the very beginning. "It was my decision to come here, not my family's.

I think he can be particularly constructive on the and frankly just the overall Latin America agenda. I don't want to be too strong in my recommendation or involve myself inappropriately in your and the Secretary's decision making regarding personnel, is a person of real accomplishment and has a standing that is similar to Senator Mitchell, Richard Holbrooke and Dennis Ross. Of course as someone dedicated to hemispheric affairs I would certainly like to see the Special Envoy to the region be a person of distinction and recognized accomplishment. Please call me as soon as you can on this one. I think it's quite an important development, as I noted, and would like to have a brief conversation about it with you and perhaps the Secretary. As always thank you for your consideration.

FYI only, the Palauans were insulted by the nature and depth of the response to their proposal as well as the content and the overall approach. They are even privately questioning the relationship. (This hasn't affected their intent to take the Uighurs.) I will send a few further thoughts. At the conclusion of yesterday's meeting, the Palau delegation caucused to discuss its reaction to the response of the United States delegation to the proposals that it made in June in Washington D.C., and expanded upon in subsequent communications. While the Palau delegation has agreed to respond to certain additional questions raised by the United States delegation on specific elements of the Palau proposal, and further has agreed to participate in certain working groups on specific issues, the Palau delegation was deeply disappointed with the response of the United States delegation. The United States delegation did not seriously respond, as required by the Compact, to the operational requirements of the Government of Palau or to Palau's comprehensive and considered plans to achieve economic advancement and selfsufficiency. In light of the foregoing, the Palau delegation has determined that it must now return to Palau to discuss with President Toribiong the next steps that Palau needs to take regarding the Compact.

The fourth is the key paragraph. Jake, I'll call. Jeff 202-343-2905 o, A Compact of Free Association replaced the United States administration of Palau, islands which the U.S. took in war and subsequently administered for the United Nations. The Compact, which was signed in 1986 and took effect October 1, 1994, includes provisions of various duration. Some are to last at least 50 years, including full U.S. military authority -although the power of the U.S. to deny access to Palau and its extensive waters by the military of any other nation is to continue in perpetuity. The amounts and types of U.S. budgetary and programmatic assistance to Palau under the Compact are specified for 15 years, but the Compact requires reviews of its terms and the entire relationship on its 15th, 30th, and 40th anniversaries. The reviews are to consider the operating requirements of the Government of Palau and the islands' development. The Compact also commits the U.S. to acting on the findings and to promoting Palau's long-term economic development. A Palauan delegation that included Vice President Kerai Mariur, Chief Representative for Compact Review Joshua Koshiba, Minister of Health Dr. Stevenson J. Kuartei, Palau Community College President Dr. Patrick Tellei, Ambassador to the U.S. Hersey Kyota, Representative to the United Nations Stuart Beck, and their consultants met in Honolulu on July 8-9 in connection with the 15th Anniversary Review with an American delegation that included Department of State Office of Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Islands Affairs Alcy Frelick, the head of the US Delegation, and representatives of the Departments of the Interior and Defense and the Weather and Postal Services. The U.S. delegation made positive statements on a few matters and agreed to discuss some others further. A number of the U.S. delegation's statements, however, evidenced a need for greater study by some U.S. officials of the intent as well as the letter of the Compact, the relationship as a whole, Palau's economic situation and fiscal responsibility commitments, and Palau's contributions to the U.S. and to international harmony -- including sacrifice by Palauans in the U.S. military, the UN international peacekeeping force and Palau's strategic location and posture, and Palau's positions in the U.N. Palau is grateful for its partnership with the U.S. and wants to continue in the association as called for by the Compact, deepen the relationship, and develop its capacities as a freely associated state. It appreciates the more positive expressions of U.S. Secretaries of State Clinton and of the Interior Salazar and congressional leaders of both political parties. Palau fully trusts that reflection will result in an approach to the relationship consistent with the Compact and to positions befitting the great nation that is the United States. Recognizing that the questions of the association are relatively small and unique for the Government of the U.S. and that the U.S. faces many and extraordinary challenges at this time, Palau understands why more deliberation by U.S. officials can be needed. Because of this, because of the confidence that it has in the United States, and because it would not be productive to elaborate with others on the conversations at this stage, Palau's representatives are confining additional comment to official communications.

The only reasonably safe way to get to Goma is flying on a MONUC aircraft originating from Kinshasa. That would mean a two hour flight each way, leaving a very small window (probably no more than one hour) to work in events. Moreover, advancing Goma would pose a significant challenge for us for security reasons. I also asked the Embassy to look into other ways of traveling to Goma — perhaps over land via Kigali (Lew and I had discussed this possibility earlier) — and the Embassy did not like the optics of approaching by land from another country. We're still looking at ways to lengthen our time in Monrovia, including possibly staying overnight in another country, such as Cape Verde.

"I hope it will be the beginning of addressing some of the mistakes of the last three years," Naim said of his talks with Thomas R. Pickering, a former undersecretary of state and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. "This was a first meeting to investigate the positions in general terms of both parties without any commitment on any side." U.S. officials say they see the previously undisclosed June meeting between Pickering and the two senior Hamas officials differently. They said Pickering had not been asked to approach llamas and had no official standing; U.S. officials learned of the meeting only afterward. Policy toward the Islamist group, they said, remains what it was under President George W. Bush: that llamas is a terrorist organization with which the United States will not even sanction a meeting. Before llamas can participate in peace talks, "we have made it clear, both publicly and privately, through all kinds of pronouncements, that we would expect llamas to recognize Israel and renounce violence and agree to abide by prior agreements," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday in Washington. Still, the Pickering meeting took place in the context of Obama administration efforts to reach out to forces in the Middle East that were shunned under Bush. It was held in between President Obama's June 4 speech in Cairo, in which he acknowledged popular support for llamas among Palestinians, and a June 25 speech by llamas leader Khaled Meshal, in which Meshal said the armed movement was ready to deal with the international community in order to reach an agreement with Israel. Pickering, co-chair of the nonprofit International Crisis Group, would not comment. As the Obama administration's Middle East diplomacy intensifies -- with U.S. officials jetting to capitals such as Damascus that were off limits at the end of the Bush administration, and offering dialogue with Iran -Hama remains one of the most significant outliers. 777 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763811 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763811 Date: 07/31/2015 Hamas is, at once, a political party, a paramilitary group that targets Israeli civilians and troops, a provider of charitable services, and a religious organization. The group seized control of the Gaza Strip in June 2007 in a clash with the Fatah movement of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The authority continues to hold sway in the West Bank. Even as Obama pushes for a renewal of talks between Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, there is no clear plan for how to address the presence of an organization that won 2006 Palestinian legislative elections but does not recognize Israel and remains committed to armed insurrection against the Jewish state. Israeli officials say that since their offensive in Gaza ended earlier this year, they have been focused on preventing Hamas from rearming itself with smuggled or homemade weapons. Beyond that, U.S. and Israeli strategy rests on a hope that improving the economy and security in the West Bank will undercut popular support for llamas and strengthen Palestinian moderates. "If we can energize that process, it will do more to delegitimize llamas than anything else," said Netanyahu spokesman Mark Regev. The International Monetary Fund reported Wednesday that recent changes in Israel's network of checkpoints, as well as improvements in security, have put the West Bank economy on track for growth of as much as 7 percent this year. Gaza's economy remains under an Israeli blockade, with unemployment estimated at 40 percent or more. In an interview after touring the West Bank this week, special Middle East envoy Tony Blair said that, if current trends continue, llamas would soon "have a choice" as Gaza's 1.5 million residents slip further behind Palestinians in the West Bank. A recent lull in rocket fire and other attacks, coupled with Meshal's speech and a visit to Gaza by former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, has led to speculation that llamas is trying to earn a place at the negotiating table. Others argue that the group is simply pausing to rearm and will never accept the conditions laid out by the United States and others -- including a renunciation of violence and acceptance of earlier Palestinian agreements acknowledging Israel. Yuval Diskin, head of Israel's internal security organization, Shin Bet, said at a closed briefing in May that he saw practically no chance of a political compromise and that Israel would ultimately have to overthrow Hamas in Gaza, according to an account of his comments provided by someone who attended the briefing. Meshal's speech, delivered from Damascus, the Syrian capital, was considered an overture to Obama. "The purpose of the speech was to convince the West that llamas is a partner for dialogue," retired Israeli Brig. Gen. Shlomo I3rom, director of the Israeli-Palestinian Relations Program at Tel Aviv University, wrote in a recent paper. "The speech will make it easier for elements in Western Europe and within Obama's administration that support dialogue with llamas to advance their position." But U.S. and Israeli officials say they see little substantive change in Meshal's position. Meshal and other llamas officials have said that hostilities might end for a decade or more through an extended truce, but that they are not interested in reconciling with Israel over the long term. "There is a recognition that Israel exists," said Omar Abdel-Razeq, who was elected to the Palestinian Legislative Council from llamas in 2006 and was recently released from Israeli prison. "The recognition of its right to exist is another matter. I don't think time lies on the Israeli side. What if the balance of power shifts?" 771 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763811 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763811 Date: 07/31/2015 Kessler reported from Washington.

"We are not against a dialogue. We are not against any negotiation for the issues of common concern," Japan's Kyodo news agency quoted North Korean ambassador to the United Nations Sin Son Ho as saying Friday. But the ambassador, speaking in New York, dismissed the possibility of a return to stalled nuclear negotiations involving the two Koreas, the U.S., Japan, China and Russia, saying "the six-party talks are gone forever." The U.S. has offered to hold talks with the North within the six-nation process if it returns to the negotiating table and takes irreversible steps for denuclearization. Last weekend, Assistant U.S. Secretary of State Kurt Campbell indicated that the chances for direct talks between North Korea and the U.S. were slim. "Our bilateral negotiations are between the U.S. and South Korea about our collective approach" to the North, Campbell told reporters in Seoul. Sin said the five other parties to the nuclear talks "cheated" North Korea, accusing them of not implementing what they had agreed under a disarmament-for-aid deal. No more details were given in the Kyodo report. Sin was not available for comment Saturday. The North Korean mission to the U.N. declined to comment. North Korea quit the nuclear talks in April to protest a U.N. statement condemning a rocket launch. North Korea insisted it sent a satellite into orbit, while the U.S. and its allies said it was actually a long-range missile test. North Korea conducted its second nuclear test in May and a barrage of missile tests in July, drawing international condemnation and new U.N. sanctions. U.S. and Chinese officials are expected to discuss North Korea's nuclear programs and other regional security issues at a strategic dialogue next week in Washington. "North Korea will be a significant topic, but obviously one among many," State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said Friday in Washington. The U.S. and North Korea engaged in a sharp war of words earlier this week over U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's recent comment likening the regime in Pyongyang to "small children" demanding attention. At a regional security conference in Thailand, Clinton also said the North "has no friends left." North Korea's Foreign Ministry described her Thursday as "a funny lady" who sometimes "looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping." 298 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763901 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763902 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: cheryl.mills Saturday, July 25, 2009 1:46 PM H Re: Are you on this call?

Mack and Rep. Bilbray). Prior to their arrival announcement on Friday, Mack staffers had already made a number of appointments on their own. However, the Embassy provided full logistical support and security, and set up a number of other appointinents where it was appropriate for Embassy officials to participate consistent with our non-contact policy. The CODEL arrived at mid-day yesterday. I hosted a country team briefing over lunch at the Residence. They made clear that they were in strong disagreement with many aspect of our (Administration) policy on Honduras, but they did hear us out on our perspective on the situation since the coup. Following the country team briefing, the CODEL went to the Presidential Palace to meet with de facto regime President Micheletti. No Embassy staff was present or involved in that meeting, although we provided the CODEL with security and transportation. Following the 90-minute session with M, the CODEL returned to the Residence and met with Supreme Court President Rivera and several of the court magistrates. The Rivera discussed his views on the legal aspects of the coup. He made the case that the process involving the Attorney General and the Supreme Court was legal, although he acknowledged that by extraditing President Zelaya the military had disregarded Court instructions and its issuance of an arrest warrant. The Honduran court members found a very receptive CODEL to their arguments. The CODEL then stayed at the Residence for a meeting with a group of legislators. We had five members of the Honduran National Congress representing three political parties. Three of the members were supportive of Micheletti and two were strongly opposed to the coup. In a very interesting debate, former Minister of Defense Orellana (a Liberal Congressmen who resigned following the coup) won the debate making a very powerful presentation arguing that the events of June 28 were unquestionably a coup. Orellana's arguments for very muck track with ours, and I believe this meeting had an impact on both Rep. Mack and Rep. Bilbray views about the coup. I am convinced they came out of this meeting much more aware of the serious legal flaws in the regime's case that the coup was constitutional. The CODEL returned to their hotel where they met with a group of U.S. and Honduran business leaders to discuss the current situation. We were not asked to participate in this event. The CODEL returned this morning to the Residence for a breakfast I hosted with six of the country's presidential candidates. This was a an interesting session and allowed for a review of the political situation and a look at possible ways forward. In the meeting Bilbray laid out the CODEL's perspectives and the message they planned to take back to the Hill and to the Administration. Both stated that they supported the idea of a negotiated solution under the Arias mediation. However, they said they would advocate an agreement that would call for Micheletti's resignation, but not the restitution of Z. The CODEL's proposal was for some type of constitutional succession involving the President of the Supreme Court as Micheletti's successor. Following this meeting, the CODEL met with Pastor Anderson, a U.S. religious and social worker here. He was accompanied by several Honduran human rights workers who made a cogent case that the human rights situation in Honduras had deteriorated significantly since the June 28 coup. The CODEL left for the airport about an hour ago. This CODEL was friendly and professional, but they certainly were not helpful to Administration policy goals in Honduras. The CODEL sent a strong message of support for the Micheletti regime. The meeting of the CODEL with Micheletti received prominent press coverage by the establishment media, which are mostly in the anti-Zelaya camp. As usual, our staff did a splendid job handling all aspects of this short fused visit. We will report the details of the CODEL via front channel message. Hugo Llorens Ambassador US.

The Haiti country narrative from the annual trafficking report is also attached to this short memo as an appendix. I wanted to make sure that you had this before you travel to Haiti this week. I'm also sending over a copy of A Crime So Monstrous, by investigative `reporter Ben Skinner, who did some undercover work in Haiti on child slavery and in fact negotiated the purchase of a child in just a few short hours. I understand that will be joining you for the trip — she has been increasingly active in the slavery/trafficking arena, and is enthusiastic about engaging with us on the issue. Background Haitian parents unable to care for their children have traditionally sent them away from home, to relatives or strangers who are expected to provide the children with food, shelter, and an education in exchange for housework. Children given or sold into this system are known as restaveks, a Creole term based on the French "restez avec" ("stay with"). While some restaveks are cared for by their host families and sent to school, most of these children are subjected to years of hardship, abuse, and involuntary domestic servitude. At one time the practice may have benefitted both child and the host family, but for most restaveks it is now a modern form of slavery. The roots of the restavek system reach back generations, and mirror involuntary child domestic servitude patterns in West Africa. The practice is so entrenched in Haitian society that it is not limited to the upper classes -- poor families routinely keep one or more restaveks who come from even poorer families. 318 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763959 Date: 07/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763959 Date: 07/31/2015 Estimates from NGOs and the Haitian government of the number of restaveks in the country run from 90,000 to 300,000, the majority of whom are girls between the ages of six and 14. NGOs believe another 3,000 Haitian restaveks are in the Dominican Republic. Exploited restaveks in either country typically work excessive hours on physically demanding tasks without pay or adequate food, do not attend school, and are often physically and sexually abused by their host family. On average, parents offer their children to host families when they are as young as six. Girls are primarily trafficked into private homes in the city, while boys more often end up exploited for labor on farms. Restaveks who do not run away or escape usually remain with the host family until they are 14years old; Haitian labor laws require employers to pay domestic workers over 15 years old, so many host families force restaveks out of the household before that age. Abandoned and runaway restaveks make up a significant proportion of the large population of children living on the street, where most are forced into prostitution or street crime by violent criminal gangs. The restavek system thus has a destabilizing effect far beyond the individuals involved. Some restaveks do escape, and those who are picked up by the authorities are referred to the social welfare organization IBESR (Institut pour le bien-etre social et la recherche), and then temporarily cared for in dedicated shelters. Two centers in Port au Prince receive financial and technical support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide shelter, food, medical and psychosocial services for these children until their parents can be found and conditions are in place for the children to return to their families. The shelter's capacity is limited, however, and the rescued children cannot always return to their families. Since 2005, IOM has only been able to assist about 300 children. Action Needed: The permanent demise of the restavek system cannot come about without overhauling both the Haitian legal system -- which does not prohibit or punish this form of modern slavery -- and the historical institutions and attitudes which support it. Some of these changes are already in process, although without long-term international support they are likely to prove fruitless. The UN, USAID, World Bank, IOM, US Institute of Peace, and other reputable organizations currently conduct rule-of-law and legal reform assistance programs that seek in part to revise Haiti's criminal laws, which have been in place relatively untouched since 1826. Most programs plan to develop a new legal structure that is easy for the general public to understand, fosters trust in the government, and develop a culture of the rule of law. This overall structure could allow for the development of effective specific legislation which not 319 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763959 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763959 Date: 07/31/2015 only prohibits the restavek practice in all forms as well as the abuse, exploitation, or enslavement of any child or adult. Prospects for this specific anti-trafficking outcome, however, may hinge on donors' inclusion of specific goals addressing the restavek problem in their broader rule of law and legal reform programs. A parallel donor effort to aid to the Haitian police child protection unit — the Brigade for the Protection of Minors — would boost the Haitian government's capacity to investigate and punish the exploitation of these child slaves. G/TIP Activities in Haiti Last month, G/TIP funded the International Organization for Migration ($315,000) and we are in the process of awarding to the NGO Free the Slaves/Anti-Slavery International a grant of $200,000 to address the needs of some child trafficking victims. The Free the Slaves project will include the disbursement of micro-grants and training of parents, while increasing public awareness of trafficking and gathering data on trafficking issues in Haiti. This project will partner with the local NGO Fondasyon Limy& Lavi (Light of Life Foundation), which has done groundbreaking work against this practice. In the past, G/TIP funded the Pan-American Development Foundation, complementing separate funding from USAID, for work in preventing cross border trafficking from Haiti to the Dominican Republic. 320 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763959 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763956 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5,B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Monday, July 27, 2009 7:25 AM My List Sorry I missed you last night — Issues: Personnel Other Issues: Support Needs for Dialogs Monthly Thinking Group — Politically/Positionally -- [Sandy Berger, Vartan Gregorian, John Podesta, Jim Kennedy, Minyon Moore, Strobe Talbott, Maggie Williams,] Agenda — what do you want to claim — non-pro; development reform; NK?

Kenya has one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in Africa — it is illegal unless a woman's life is at risk and criminalizes both the woman and the provider. Two years ago, Kenyan authorities imprisoned a doctor and two nurses, falsely accusing them of providing illegal abortions. After a year in prison, the providers were found innocent and released, but it galvanized the legal and provider community who formed a coalition to make abortion less restrictive. It will come as no surprise to you that, as a result of their abortion law, Kenya has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in all of Africa, with an estimated 800 women a day seeking the procedure, often through dangerous means. Kenya is restarting a long-stalled constitutional review process and they hope to produce a final Constitution by next year. Religious groups are on a concerted crusade to include new language in the Constitution which would codify that "life begins at conception". The current Constitution is largely silent on the issue. If this fetal personhood amendment goes forward, it would place Kenya in the small community of nations with such a provision. It would clearly mark Kenya as out of stop with countries attempting to institutionalize the African Union's Maputo Protocol, one of the most progressive regional documents on women, development and reproductive rights, and with the vast majority of African countries in general. For a country trying to regain the momentum of stability and success it enjoyed until recently, such a policy imposition would be a regression for women's rights and for the country writ large. I went to Kenya last month to work with the coalition that has formed to strategize against the Constitutional amendment and to work toward a less restrictive abortion law. I also visited several of our clinics and providers in Nairobi and in nearby villages where Planned Parenthood has programs to train providers in post abortion care. You have seen this a million times in your travels around the world, so I don't need to tell you how poignant the stories were of the lives saved and lost, the bravery in standing up to constant government harassment, and the fear of what this potential Constitutional amendment will mean to the provision of safe medical services. I know it is asking a lot, but if there is any way that you could draw attention to this issue when you are in Kenya, you would be even more of my personal hero than you already are. It is our hope that if Kenya knows the world is watching they may be more careful in how they proceed. Of course we would be happy to help you in any way if you decide you want to do something on this while you are there. There is also a Congressional delegation going to Kenya the week of August 8th and we are working on them to have a side meeting on this issue as well. As always, thank you so much for all you do.

Today, Tom and I have been on the phone with the Centrals and others to continue this effort. One blip: Micheletti publicly backed away today from his positive comments yesterday about the Arias plan.

Lieberman, whose ultranationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party is a key partner in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling coalition, accused police of waging a "campaign of persecution" against him and said their allegations were unfounded. In a statement, police said a nine-year investigation found "a basis of evidence" against Lieberman of bribe-taking, fraud, violation of public confidence and obstruction of justice with regard to suspected money laundering. The investigation, conducted mostly while Lieberman held other government posts, focused on the transfer of millions of Israeli shekels to shell companies and accounts belonging to people close to him, the statement said. Lieberman, in a statement released by his spokesman, said there was "no basis for the police recommendation" and expressed confidence he would not be indicted. Police handed their recommendation to state prosecutors who have to decide whether to charge Lieberman, the latest in a line of Israeli public figures to face police questioning. Ehud Olmert was forced to resign as prime minister a year ago over a corruption probe, though he has denied any wrongdoing. The Moldavan-born Lieberman has been denounced by Israeli Arabs as a racist for his party's introduction of legislation to curb the liberties of citizens deemed as disloyal to the state, moves widely seen as targeting Israel's Arab minority.

By MARY ANASTASIA O'GRADY August 3, 2009 The Wall Street Journal In October 1994, President Bill Clinton used the U.S. military to force Haiti to take back former President Jean Bertrand Aristide, an intolerant populist who had been deposed in a coup three years earlier. The Haitian people didn't fare well under the decade of Aristide tyranny and corruption following that U.S. intervention. But key Democrats, who secured contracts with the Haitian government, did. This sad chapter in U.S. foreign policy is a reminder of the immortal words of the French statesman Charles Talleyrand: "Countries don't have friends, they have interests." The Clinton administration had interests in Haiti. And that fact is worth recalling as President Barack Obama, defying all logic, insists that Castro-ally Manuel Zelaya be restored to the presidency in Honduras. The democratically elected Aristide took office in February 1991. When the national legislature considered a no-confidence vote against his prime minister, Rene Freya!, in August, he called on his supporters to take to the streets. The mobs set property on fire and threatened members of the opposition. The Associated Press quoted the vice president of the Chamber of Deputies saying that many representatives were "afraid to sleep in their own homes." After weeks of terror, Aristide was removed from office by the military and went into exile in Washington. Haiti's assets in the U.S. were frozen. But then-President George H. W. Bush released them to Aristide on the grounds that he was the legitimate president. The largest source of hard currency was the income to the telephone monopoly, Haiti Teleco, from U.S. carriers terminating phone traffic in the country. In the summer of 1994 Haiti's legislature claimed it had proof that as of April 15, Aristide had drawn $49.9 million on the telephone account, which had originally contained $53 million. Once restored to power, Aristide ruled Haiti for a decade, either as president or as the power behind the throne during the presidency of Mr. Freyal. It wasn't until he was chased out of the country a second time, in 2004, that Haitians were able to document that their government had been doing business in telecommunications with Americans who were close to Mr. Clinton. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763204 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763204 Date: 07/31/2015 Haitians had been complaining to me since the late 1990s about the relationship between Haiti Teleco and a company called Fusion Telecommunications. They alleged that Fusion had ties to Joseph P. Kennedy II, a vociferous supporter of Aristide, and that instead of paying the official settlement rate that all U.S. carriers were supposed to pay, it was getting a special price. The company would not even acknowledge that it operated in Haiti. What I did learn at that time was that Fusion was run by former Democratic Party Finance Chairman Marvin Rosen. Mr. Kennedy was on the board. So too was Mr. Clinton's former aide, Thomas "Mack" McLarty, and former Mississippi Democratic Gov. Ray Mabus. The U.S.-Haiti telecom route is one of the busiest in the hemisphere. But weird things happened when I tried to learn about Fusion's Haiti business. Contracts with foreign monopolies are supposed to be public information at the Federal Communications Commission, but when I asked for the Haiti file I was told it had gone missing. The FCC asked companies for duplicate copies of contracts so it could recreate the public file. But Fusion went to court to keep me from seeing its agreement. I won that fight. The Fusion contract shows that while the settlement rate for terminating calls to Haiti was 46 cents a minute, Fusion paid just 12 cents. When I saw the contract I immediately thought of how Haitian pleas for U.S. help during the decade of Aristide abuses went unheeded. Then I thought of Talleyrand. The Honduran constitutional crisis is very different than the Haiti case, in that the Honduran military has never been in charge. When Mr. Zelaya was deported, the presidency was passed, as the constitution requires, to the president of Congress. Mr. Zelaya's party is still governing the country. Yet there are important lessons from Bill Clinton's Haiti policy that hold for Honduras. One is that the U.S. is more than capable of misjudging a constitutional crisis and of backing the wrong guy. When it does, there is no guarantee it will rectify the problem. Another lesson from Haiti is that a Caribbean despot can offer good terms to foreign investors. Since the Haiti episode Venezuela's Hugo Chavez has conducted a courtship with Democrats too. He gives Mr. Kennedy's Citizen's Energy company cut-price homeheating oil that the former Massachusetts congressman distributes to the poor in order to polish the Democrats' image. Never mind about Venezuelans suffering under chavismo. This is something to keep in mind as the Obama administration proposes that the U.S. embargo on Cuba be modified so Americans can invest in its telecom sector. It's not clear how those contracts will be awarded. Or what one would have to do to raise the odds of being considered in the running.

Mr. Craig, the top lawyer at the White House and a close aide to President Barack Obama, has helped lead the administration's efforts on several national-security issues that once enjoyed popularity but have since become become political liabilities for Mr. Obama. View Full Image President Barack Obama meets with White House counsel Gregory Craig, right, in the Oval Office in June. These include the closure of the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the release of Bush administration-era national-security documents, and efforts to find legal ways to indefinitely hold some detainees who can't be put on trial. The decision to close the Guantanamo facility became a political problem for Mr. Obama when concerns arose that some of the detainees would be released into the U.S. and the public soured on the move. Mr. Craig didn't respond to questions about his job as White House counsel for this article. The people familiar with the matter said a final decision hasn't been made. In a statement, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina said: "We've addressed these rumors before. They are nothing more than typical Washington parlor games. It's disappointing that while we are focused on UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. P2014-20439 Doc No. C05763231 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763231 Date: 07/31/2015 reviving the economy and fighting two wars, others spend their time pointing fingers in an attempt to promote their own status." Mr. Craig has come under criticism from inside the administration and in Congress for a perceived failure to manage the political issues that have originated from Mr. Obama's decision to close Guantanamo, according to officials in the administration and in Congress. This criticism has drawn focus away from president's priorities, such as health care and energy. One administration official involved in Guantanamo matters defended Mr. Craig, saying he has been responsive and helpful when consulted. One member of Congress who has worked with Mr. Craig on detainee issues, called Mr. Craig "a smart guy who understands Congress very well." As an example of the difficulties Mr. Craig faced, the officials cite the president's move in May to reverse a decision that would have led to the release of photos showing abuse of terror detainees during the Bush administration. Weeks earlier, Mr. Craig brought Mr. Obama plans to release Justice Department memorandums detailing the Bush administration's policies on terrorism detainees. Some Obama national-security officials complained they hadn't been consulted, people familiar with the matter said, and the objections prompted weeks of debate inside the administration. Mr. Craig and Attorney General Eric Holder won the fight to release the memorandums, with minimal redactions, but the White House had to move quickly to limit political damage. Former Vice President Dick Cheney sharpened criticism of Mr. Obama during a televised speech that followed Mr. Obama's own address intended to explain his national-security vision. At around the same time, the administration was running into trouble with plans to move to northern Virginia at least some Chinese Muslim Uighurs who remain detained at Guantanamo despite being cleared for release. The furor over the possible release of former suspects in the U.S. led Congress to overwhelmingly pass new restrictions, including barring spending to close the Guantanamo prison. Mr. Obama signed executive orders during his first week in office to close the Guantanamo prison, to review the cases of the more than 200 detainees there and to draw up possible changes to detention and interrogation policies. At the time Mr. Obama enjoyed public support for his Guantanamo plans, polls showed. Six months later that public support has dissipated, polls show. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), one of the administration's allies on the Guantanamo closure, faulted the White House handling of Guantanamo. "Announcing the closure without a plan has put in jeopardy the ability to close Guantanamo. Now public opinion has turned," Mr. Graham said Monday. Mr. Craig, 64 years old, was with Williams & Connolly, a prominent Washington law firm, before joining the Obama campaign. President Bill Clinton tapped him in 1998 to lead his defense during congressional impeachment proceedings against the president. Mr. Craig has built a White House counsel's office of formidable size, with 41 lawyers, according to the administration's most recent filings. Mr. Bush left office with about 30 lawyers in his counsel's office. cn UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763231 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763231 Date: 07/31/2015 In response to earlier questions about why he had built such a large office, Mr. Craig said: "We have the best new law firm on the planet." He noted that the Obama administration faced an economic crisis and major national-security issues. —Jess Bravin contributed to this article.

Matt Angola pledges $1.2 bin to farming, food security LUANDA (Reuters) - Angola will invest an estimated $1.2 billion in agricultural development over the next four years as part of a food security initiative, according to a government statement published on Thursday. The investment will be financed by a line of credit from the China Development Bank, private investment and other loans, said the statement in the state-owned newspaper Jornal de Angola. The plan is to take advantage of Angola's natural resources and bolster employment, the government said. Angola was once a major food exporter but a 27-year civil war that ended in 2002 devastated the sector. "The project also aims to guarantee food security, supply the internal market and take advantage of local, regional and international 'opportunities," the statement said. Angola, the world's fourth biggest coffee producer and a top exporter of sugarcane, bananas, sisal and cotton before the 1975-2002 civil war, now imports much of its food from abroad. This has helped push inflation in the capital Luanda to 13.95 percent year-on-year in June, frustrating government plans to reduce it to 12.5 percent by the end of the year. Luanda is also considered the world's most expensive city for foreigners, a study by Londonbased human resources consultants ECA recently showed. 68 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763323 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763328 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5 From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Wednesday, August 05, 2009 11:39 AM H FW: Higher Education Dinner on August 17 - Guest HRC: Added I In speaking to John he pointed out that frame is also to have some of the larger institutions to do and create development in Africa and other countries and they must see themselves as having obligation of being part of solution.

Merrill'; 'Geoffroy, Gregory L [PRES]'; 'morrisoc Bigalke 'Karl Jackson' Subject: draft report on Indonesia Delegation Preparing this to share with my Board; welcome your edits, additions, corrections. Thanks Observations 1. There is a considerable change in Indonesian attitudes toward the United States. The latest Pew Global Polls indicate a 73% approval level; the last time it was nearly this level was only in the wake of the generous help provided after the Tsunami disaster. Higher education officials warmly welcomed our trip and, more importantly, are eager to increase student flows to America and institutional partnerships between U.S. and Indonesian universities. The Director General for Higher Education (DGHE) has been given a special budget to promote this, seven leading schools have been given special budgets by DGHE to explore partnerships, and the Ministry will support a delegation of leading Indonesian educators and Rectors to visit the U.S. sometime in late fall/early winter. 2. The Delegation represented over 30 colleges and universities arrived only 9 days after the terrorist bombing of two hotels in Jakarta, which meant our Indonesian hosts deeply appreciated the show of solidarity we made by coming. During our visit, the White House announced that President Obama would come to Jakarta in November. The U.S. Ambassador arranged for the entire Country Team to brief us on our first day; we saw him and his senior staff three more times during the week for substantive meetings, and he attended the farewell dinner given by the Minister of Education. We were also scheduled to be received by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), who had to cancel at the last minute due to the onset of flu. Earlier in the week we were hosted by his Spokesman. 3. Nearly every Indonesian senior official with whom we met had been educated in the United States. But many of the officials just below that level had not had this chance. Some characterized this cohort as a lost generation and the senior officials all spoke about providing opportunities for this group now (through a "re-charging" program that the Government will fund) for short term study visits and about making sure that the next generation will now have the chances that the most senior group once did to come to America for especially graduate education. 4. Indonesia, the 4th most populous country in the world, is the sixteenth-leading country of origin for students coming to the U.S.; number 15 is Hong Kong (8200 students). A little more than 7600 Indonesians are currently enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. This is approximately half the number that were enrolled a decade ago. The decline began in the wake of the Asian Economic Crisis of 1997 and accelerated after 2001 when there were substantial visa issues and problems — coupled to a growing perception by Indonesians that America was an unfriendly and not very welcoming country, especially for Muslims. At the same time, major campaigns were launched by the governments of Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, China, Germany and the Netherlands to recruit Indonesian students; today there are over 20,000 Indonesians studying in Australia alone. The appeal of these countries also stems from the relative ease of applying to non-US higher education institutions and the willingness to take students with low levels of English. 77 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763378 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763378 Date: 07/31/2015 5. We did not hear a single visa complaint during our meetings and public forum. The U.S. embassy is on track to issue a record number this year and now estimates that 80 percent of all student visa applications are being granted. 6. The market for study abroad is probably very large. A recent poll by the Kompas newspaper found that 76.3% of Indonesian students would prefer to go abroad for at least one degree. There are over 4.5 million final-year high school students and 4.3 million currently enrolled in Indonesian universities, represent about a 17% enrollment rate about the college-age cohort. The Government wants to raise this to 25% by 2011. This means adding over 400,000 new university students each year and doubling the size of the nation's entire teaching faculty. There are approximately 154,000 faculty, but only 7% have any form of advance degrees and fewer than 5,000 have a PhD. Capacity and quality challenges are huge. 7. We were repeatedly told that Higher Education is a top national priority and that the Government would like a minimum international student enrollment of 5% in order to continue Indonesia's embrace of globalization nd better prepare their students for work in a globalized world. A Higher Education Reform effort is just getting underway, with initial emphasis on improving the quality and government support for science and technology. There are over 2800 institutions of higher education, but only 86 public universities and polytechnics. Enrollment in the public schools is about 1 million versus 3.4 million in private higher education. The Government is coming to terms with how best to regulate the private sector; a recently-passed law in Parliament calls for all private institutions to be brought under greater government control and oversight over the next 6 years. All boards of trustees will by then have to report on their activities to a government agency. 8. A very small number of Americans, 132 in 2006-2007, study abroad for credit and most do so on short term, faculty-led study visits. The highest this number has ever been was only 215 (in 1994-1995). Most of the delegation did not immediately see how they could send their students here for semester or year-long programs, but an increasing number of courses are being taught in English at some leading universities. Almost all felt that only Gadjah Made University in Yogyakarta was well set up to receive U.S. students and able to offer a significant number of courses for them to take. Other institutions (especially in Bogor and possibly Bandung) offer promising sites for field research in agriculture, environmental studies ,and marine science. Bali will remain an important site for those in programs associated with the humanities and cultural studies. 9. Education Ministry officials stressed their desire to move rapidly to build on the momentum of this visit, create new institutional partnerships, and expand educational programs under the official US-Indonesia Bilateral Partnership proposed by President SBY (who went to the US six times during the course of his education and is a graduate of Webster university) and endorsed by Secretary of State Clinton.

She didn't seem interested in at any level. B5 B6 She left saying that she was very disappointed that she hadn't gotten one of her two top preferences and that maybe she should just stay in her current job, which she loves and which gives her much more money and status than we can offer.

Jack said he would be glad to call Schumer about this, and would like to intervene before this becomes a public dispute. • Merida Initiative Both Jack and Jim voiced misgivings over the current state of the Merida Initiative report needed for the release of the last 15 percent of the allocated resources. Jim noted that, in effect, this is a certification. He said that there is still insufficient transparency on the part of the Mexicans and that it is unclear that their proposal to try alleged military human rights violations in military courts covers the full range of potential transgressions. Jim said he would have a meeting later this morning to review with WHA, INL, H and others what needed to be added, but the goal is to turn it around as quickly as possible and ensure that we do not lose out on the 15 percent. • Somalia • Jack said that he had looked at the draft OFAC letter on humanitarian assistance to Somalia and thought it went about as far as possible in addressing the concerns of USAID, short of granting a license in advance for any actions that might inadvertently provide material support to terrorist groups. In essence, the OFAC letter tells AID that they do not need authorization to proceed as they plan. The concern is that USAID may not be fully satisfied and may try to re-litigate the issue. L was going to join AID in a meeting later today to discuss and would seek to persuade them to accept the answer they had received from OFAC. Colombia • Jim voiced his displeasure over a cable from WHA on the proposed U.S.-Colombia Defense Cooperation Agreement. I can provide you more details on the high side if you want, but in essence he noted that the policy has not been fully thought out and that there needs to be a full policy review before we provide such guidance to the field.

I said everyone is on board, but that the paper work has still not been blessed. Jim stressed that, contrary to SOUTHCOM plans, the plane should not be a "blue and white" with United States of America boldly marked all over it, but rather a regular white plane or other military aircraft. I undertook to convey this to all concerned. Aung San Suu Kvi • Jim noted that the Secretary had made a good statement on the decision to sentence ASSK to house arrest for another 18 months, but stressed to PA the need for them to coordinate closely with the White House today on what more we say.

Many African leaders support it because it's good for their cronies. Paul Collier has been one of the most vocal supporters of commercial farming - mostly because of the success of Brazil. Our USAID colleagues are much less supportive because historically it doesn't have as much benefit for the poor as working directly with rural farmers. I think the best way to frame this issue is to say: we support small holder farmers and that's what our programs will emphasize; but, if we see an opportunity for commercial farms to also help achieve our goal of lifting 100 million out of hunger and poverty, then we will support it. In general, commercial farms usually benefit those who are above the poverty line - not those below it.

Neither news network cited a source for its report. Scottish Justice Minister Kenny MacAskill, who was due to decide whether to release al-Megrahi, told a local television station he had yet to make up his mind. A call and an e-mail sent to al-Megrahi's Scottish lawyer were not immediately returned late Wednesday. "The decision will be made next week," MacAskill told Scottish Television late Wednesday. Two spokeswomen for the Scotland's devolved government dismissed the BBC and Sky reports as speculation. "Absolutely no decision has been taken on that," a spokeswoman for the Scottish Executive said. "Categorically no decision has been made at this stage." 111 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763582 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763583 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Thursday, August 13, 2009 3:55 AM Fw: Time with S Fyi From: Pascual, Carlos (Mexico City) To: Mills, Cheryl D Sent: Wed Aug 12 16:12:14 2009 Subject: Time with S Cheryl — Well, I finally made it.

North Korea frees detained South Korea worker By KWANG-TAE KIM (AP) – 2 hours ago SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea has freed a South Korean worker detained for months in the communist country, officials said Thursday, brightening prospects for improved relations on the peninsula. The release came days after Hyundai Group Chairwoman Hyun Jung-eun traveled to Pyongyang in an effort to secure the employee's freedom, and a week after the isolated regime freed two U.S. journalists sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for entering the North illegally in March. That release followed a surprise visit by former President Bill Clinton, who held talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong II. The 44-year-old technician, surnamed Yoo, worked at an industrial zone in the North's border city of Kaesong, where about 110 South Korean-run factories employ about 40,000 North Korean workers. He was detained in March for allegedly denouncing the North's political system. Though one of the few joint projects still running, the complex's viability has come under questions in recent months as the North refused to release Yoo and demanded a massive increase in payments and recent at the industrial park. It now has only a skeletal South Korean staff. Unification Ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong-joo said Yoo — an employee of the Hyundai Group's North Korean business arm, Hyundai Asan — had been released and was expected to return to South Korea later Thursday. "It's fortunate that Yoo is returning to his family, though it's rather late," presidential spokesman Lee Dong-kwan said in a statement. He added that the South Korean government will maintain a "consistent policy" toward North Korea.

North Korea told the South earlier Thursday that its investigation into the case is still continuing, Unification Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-sung told reporters. No details were given.

Some burned a North Korean flag and photos of Kim. Hyundai has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the industrial zone and a joint tourist project promoted by more liberal South Korean governments in the past.

In Congo, she came away deeply shaken from a meeting with rape victims. Kenya's prime minister said Africa didn't need lectures from the West about democracy, but Africa got one anyway. At home, the U.S. secretary of state's visit may have been overshadowed by the aftermath of her husband's mission to North Korea to bring home two imprisoned U.S. journalists. But on her seven-nation Africa tour, ending Friday with a stopover in the West African island republic of Cape Verde, she made one splash after another. 177 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763592 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763592 Date: 07/31/2015 Coupled with Barack Obama's visit last month, the two trips to Africa were the earliest into an administration by any secretary of state or president, underlining Washington's pledges to pay more attention to the continent. In the U.S., the headline-making moment of the trip was her testy response to a question about Bill Clinton. But in Africa, it quickly became a footnote. What people wanted to hear was support for democracy, clean government and ending its many civil wars. Clinton's ambitious itinerary resembled those of China's foreign minister, who makes extensive annual tours of his country's allies on the continent. But where China tends to sidestep the issues of corruption democracy, Clinton confronted them head-on. Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, speaking hours before Clinton arrived, said Africa did not need to be lectured about democracy. After they met, she did just that. "The absence of strong and effective democratic institutions has permitted ongoing corruption, impunity, politically motivated violence and a lack of respect for a rule of law," Clinton said. "These conditions ... are continuing to hold Kenya back." Odinga switched to a more conciliatory tone, saying African countries could learn from Clinton's example when she conceded defeat to Obama during the U.S. presidential primaries. "That is a lesson Africa needs to learn seriously," he said. "In Africa, in many countries, elections are never won, they are only rigged. The losers never accept that they lost. If we do this, we will be able to develop democracy truly in the African continent." In Angola, she told Foreign Minister Assuncao Afonso dos Anjos that his country needed to write a new constitution, prosecute human rights crimes and hold a proper presidential election. "So, Mr. Minister, we have our work cut out for us," she said. And in Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer, she said "the disconnect between Nigeria's wealth and its poverty is a failure of governance at the federal, state and local level." To Africa's reformers, often an embattled minority, these were heartening words. Emma Ezeazu, who campaigns for free and fair elections in his native Nigeria, said Clinton's visit showed that U.S. officials "are becoming more pro-active in their relationship with Nigeria, in particular on the subject of governance and democracy. They are paying more attention." Tiseke Kasambala, a Johannesburg-based researcher for Human Rights Watch, commended her grasp of human rights abuses in Africa — not just the headline-makers, like Zimbabwe and Congo, but the lesser publicized offenders such as Angola. In Goma, a Congo town in a region ravaged by gang rapes amid continuing fighting between army and rebels, Clinton announced $17 million in American aid to help the victims. She toured a squalid camp of 18,000 refugees and heard one of them tell her, "We really want to return home, that's why we are asking America to help stop the fighting." "That's why I'm here," Clinton replied. "I want you to be able to go home." In Cape Town, South Africa, big, joyous crowds turned out for her at a housing project. In Liberia, founded in 1847 by freed American slaves, rain-drenched crowds waved U.S. and Liberian flags at Clinton's motorcade.

Nancy Kachingwe, a Malawian with the development group ActionAid, applauded Clinton's "very strong emphasis around women's rights." Some of former President George W. Bush's Africa initiatives, particularly on AIDS, have been widely praised in Africa. But there were also sharp differences over world trade, global warming, and over the Bush administration's antiterrorism strategy. Washington wants to buy Africa's oil and gain access to its markets, and fears instability in places like Somalia could fuel anti-U.S. terrorism. Clinton won points by stressing that as the U.S. pursues its interests, it sees the virtue of "working with and listening to our friends and allies, and creating not a multipolar world, but a multi-partner world." Kachingwe said what matters now is the follow-up. "There will be a positive impact" from Clinton's trip, she said.

Our visit here, inconceivable just a few years ago, is another indication of the remarkable transformation of relations between our two countries. During our visit, we met with the National Security Advisor, with Col. Qadafi, and with a number of advisors to the leader. We expressed our appreciation for Libya's decision to give up its weapons of mass destruction programs and become a partner in the fight against violent Islamic extremism, and discussed the ways in which relations between our countries can continue on a positive and productive path. In particular, we discussed the possibility of moving ahead with the provision of non-lethal defense equipment to the government of Libya. As we move ahead with the many ways in which the United States and Libya can work closely as partners, there remain areas where there remains real work to be done. The status of human rights and political reform in Libya will remain a chief element of concern. In addition, we understand that no final decision has been reached regarding the potential release from Scottish prison of Abdel Basset al Megrahi, the man convicted of involvement in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. Nevertheless, we made clear in our meetings with Libyan officials that we are resolutely opposed to his release. We encouraged our Libyan interlocutors to handle this case — which, after all, involves an individual convicted of killing American citizens — in a fashion that will strengthen the growing ties of friendship between our two countries, rather than hinder its progress. We discussed these and other issues in a spirit of mutual respect and friendship. The ties between the United States and Libya have taken a remarkable and positive turn in recent years, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No..'F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763626 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763626 Date: 07/31/2015 and we intend to help ensure that the relations between our countries deepen in all facets of the relationship.

Clinton Ends Africa Tour, Vowing to Stay Involved By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN The New York Times Published: August 15, 2009 SANTA MARIA, Cape Verde - After a grueling seven-nation, 11-day trip, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wrapped up her Africa tour on Friday by reaffirming her promise to renovate American relations with the continent. "I leave Africa after this remarkable trip even more committed," Mrs. Clinton said before leaving Cape Verde. "I have seen the joy and energy Africans have, evidenced not just by the boogieing, but by the hard work and perseverance," she said, referring to a recent comment from her husband, former President Bill Clinton, that she knew how to "boogie" with African dancers. "And we've seen the worst humanity can do to itself," she added, presumably referring to Congo, where Mrs. Clinton met victims of a brutal civil war that just does not seem to end. Mrs. Clinton seemed satisfied that she had accomplished her mission: strengthening American relations with crucial allies on the continent, like Nigeria and South Africa, and sending a message of "tough love," as she called it, to nations like Kenya and Congo. Over all, she said, the United States wants to work more closely with African nations as a partner, not simply as a patron or dispenser of aid. In exchange, she said, African leaders must deliver democracy and good government. Mrs. Clinton vowed to stay on top of Africa, even after she gets back to Washington, closely monitoring the issues she addressed on her tour. She also pointed to Cape Verde, a set of palm-studded islands best known for their beaches and enormous tourist hotels, as an example of what good leadership can do. "This is possible," she said. "You create not just economic growth but a sense of human dignity and possibility." Kenya. South Africa. Angola. Congo. Nigeria. Liberia. And finally Cape Verde. Mrs. Clinton saw with her own eyes some of Africa's most promising countries - and some of its most troubled ones. In Kenya, she pushed for the government to prosecute perpetrators of the postelection violence last year. In South Africa, the big issue was Zimbabwe and how the South African government should do more to help ease the crisis there. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763715 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763715 Date: 07/31/2015 In Angola, the theme was good governing practices and oil, a strategic concern of the United States given the many inroads China has made there and elsewhere in Africa in its hunger for natural resources. In Congo, Mrs. Clinton was passionate about the need to end the nation's rape epidemic. "The secretary's visit to the heart of the world's deadliest war zone in eastern Congo was a potential game-changer for that conflict," said John Prendergast, a founder of the Washington-based Enough project. "Her commitment to addressing root causes such as the conflict minerals that power our electronics industry was a refreshing contrast to the usual disaster sympathy tourism of visiting dignitaries." "Now," he added, "comes the hard part: making good on the promises and living up to the high expectations engendered by her visit." In Nigeria, Mrs. Clinton pressed for electoral changes. In Liberia, she praised the country's president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the only woman in Africa to be elected head of state. The Liberian visit had a special warmth, almost like a meeting of long-lost cousins. Liberia was founded in the 19th century by freed American slaves, and the country's flag, the people's names and even the police uniforms with plasticbrimmed hats were all reminiscent of the American versions. Mrs. Clinton received possibly her most exuberant welcome there, and a Liberian man with a long wooden horn followed her around most of the visit, blowing out loud funny noises whenever she said something striking. "I love that - the horn - I want to take that guy with me wherever I go," she said. In Cape Verde, Mrs. Clinton seemed to have few bones to pick. For once, she said, she had a cheat sheet on a country that included a list of far more positives than negatives. The country has fewer than 500,000 people and has escaped the turmoil that has engulfed so much of Africa. The all-inclusive, poolside buffet resorts here feel like something found in CanctIn or the Bahamas. Mrs. Clinton called Cape Verde "a model of democracy and economic progress in Africa." On Friday, just as she had at every stop, she started her speech by saying, "I bring you greetings from President Obama." She called him a "son of Africa" and said that under the Obama administration, the United States was determined to help Africa reach its promise. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763715 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763718 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Saturday, August 15, 2009 9:39 AM Importance: High Fw: (SBU) Yettaw to be Deported on 8/16 From: Rodriguez, Hugo F To: PA Special Assistants; R_Special Assistants; Sullivan, Jacob J; Abedin, Huma; S_SpecialAssistants; H_SpecialAssistants; NEWS-Mahogany; M_SpecialAssistants; CA-OCS-Special Assistant Cc: SES_DutyDeputies; SES-O_SWO-Only; Bernier-Toth, Michelle Sent: Sat Aug 15 09:14:47 2009 Subject: FW: (SBU) Yettaw to be Deported on 8/16 In brief: • Pursuant to his meeting with Senator James Webb, Burmese Senior General Than Shwe authorized deportation of Amcit John Yettaw. • Yettaw is scheduled to depart on 8/16 at 1:30pm local (3:00 am EDT) with Sen.

Clinton Ends Africa Tour, Vowing to Stay Involved By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN The New York Times UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763724 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763724 Date: 07/31/2015 Published: August 15, 2009 SANTA MARIA, Cape Verde - After a grueling seven-nation, 11-day trip, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wrapped up her Africa tour on Friday by reaffirming her promise to renovate American relations with the continent. "I leave Africa after this remarkable trip even more committed," Mrs. Clinton said before leaving Cape Verde. "I have seen the joy and energy Africans have, evidenced not just by the boogieing, but by the hard work and perseverance," she said, referring to a recent comment from her husband, former President Bill Clinton, that she knew how to "boogie" with African dancers. "And we've seen the worst humanity can do to itself," she added, presumably referring to Congo, where Mrs. Clinton met victims of a brutal civil war that just does not seem to end. Mrs. Clinton seemed satisfied that she had accomplished her mission: strengthening American relations with crucial allies on the continent, like Nigeria and South Africa, and sending a message of "tough love," as she called it, to nations like Kenya and Congo. Over all, she said, the United States wants to work more closely with African nations as a partner, not simply as a patron or dispenser of aid. In exchange, she said, African leaders must deliver democracy and good government. Mrs. Clinton vowed to stay on top of Africa, even after she gets back to Washington, closely monitoring the issues she addressed on her tour. She also pointed to Cape Verde, a set of palm-studded islands best known for their beaches and enormous tourist hotels, as an example of what good leadership can do. "This is possible," she said. "You create not just economic growth but a sense of human dignity and possibility." Kenya. South Africa. Angola. Congo. Nigeria. Liberia. And finally Cape Verde. Mrs. Clinton saw with her own eyes some of Africa's most promising countries - and some of its most troubled ones. In Kenya, she pushed for the government to prosecute perpetrators of the postelection violence last year. In South Africa, the big issue was Zimbabwe and how the South African government should do more to help ease the crisis there. In Angola, the theme was good governing practices and oil, a strategic concern of the United States given the many inroads China has made there and elsewhere in Africa in its hunger for natural resources. In Congo, Mrs. Clinton was passionate about the need to end the nation's rape epidemic. "The secretary's visit to the heart of the world's deadliest war zone in eastern Congo was a potential game-changer for that conflict," said John Prendergast, a founder of the Washington-based Enough project. "Her commitment to addressing root causes such as the conflict minerals that power our electronics industry was a refreshing contrast to the usual disaster sympathy tourism of visiting dignitaries." "Now," he added, "comes the hard part: making good on the promises and living up to the high expectations engendered by her visit." In Nigeria, Mrs. Clinton pressed for electoral changes. In Liberia, she praised the country's president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the only woman in Africa to be ele UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763724 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763726 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5, B6 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: jake.sullivan Saturday, August 15, 2009 11:46 AM preines( H; CDM; Huma Abedin Re: AAR Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with SprintSpeed Original Message From: "PIR" ; CDM Saturday, August 15, 2009 2:37 PM H B1 1.4(B) 1.4(D) Holbrooke is still trying to determine how to handle -- though our options appear to be very limited.

He conveyed to the generals that it would be hard for the world to view the Burmese elections as free and fair without the participation of ASSK and her supporters. Asked whether free and fair elections are possible given the Burmese constitution's structure, Webb said the constitution does not necessarily constrain elections. • Senator Webb explained he was not a U.S. Government envoy. Asked whether his visit would trigger a review of U.S. Burma policy, the Senator responded that Secretary Clinton had already called for a review and that he would discuss his visit with the Secretary. • Asked why he was received by the Burmese leadership while the UN Secretary General was not, the Senator referred to his 18-year record of working on Southeast Asia issues and his record in Vietnam. He did not characterize his own position on sanctions. With respect to human rights groups' fear that his visit would lend legitimacy the regime, Webb firmly restated his qualifications and record. • The Senator indicated that he viewed this as a possible opening for progress, but did not make any indications or suggestions on next steps.

You may have heard that Secretary of State Mrs Clinton and Ambassador Ms Verveer came to HEAL Africa on Tuesday 11th August. The visit went very well, and the organisation was impeccable, so she could achieve her objectives. While in our Conference Centre, she announced a package of aid to Congo to fight Gender Based Violence. First she congratulated HEAL Africa on the excellent work we are doing; then she announced a deal between the US and the Norwegian Government to build a state of the art fistula and teaching hospital in Goma. She must have been aware of the shock and discouragement of all our staff. In effect she was saying: "Your excellent work is not really excellent at all, and we will work with the Norwegians to replace you in North Kivu." I seriously believe she was not properly briefed, because of some remarks she made as she was leaving. This is now a request to you, and if possible, other members of the your organisation, if you would be so kind as to contact them. Nothing is set in stone, and politicians respond to pressure from their friends and constituencies. We believe that wise use of funds means building capacity among local organisations that have already proved that they can do the work, and sustain their efforts, rather than starting something new. I am attaching below a letter like the one we have written to Mrs Clinton and a similar one to Ambassador Verveer. If you think it is appropriate, we are requesting you to write a similar letter to both of them. We are hoping that local Congolese organisations will not be excluded from these resources to build local capacity on the foundations of what is being done already. With kind regards. 4.

The commitment of the 44 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763786 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763786 Date: 07/31/2015 people of the United States to working alongside Congolese associations for peace and human rights is heartening, after 16 years of endless war. We congratulate you for this pioneering visit which gave a voice to Congolese community based organizations, who are often overpowered by international actors. We sincerely hope that the US government and USAID will take the next step in working alongside community based organizations in Eastern Congo. After studying the announcement of the package of assistance that is being prepared to contribute to fighting Gender Based Violence in the east of Congo, we are mystified to hear that the United States and the Norwegian government have decided to build for North Kivu a centre of excellence for training doctors in fistula repair and care of mothers. According to good development principles, outside assistance builds on what is already in place and functioning well, developing proven capacity and giving local actors the additional tools they need to do a better job. As friends and supporters of HEAL Africa for many years, we know that this hospital has pioneered fistula repair in North Kivu and Maniema provinces since 2002, when no one else was interested in caring for women with fistula. They have four experienced surgeons trained in Addis Ababa fistula hospital, and have performed over 1600 fistula surgeries. HEAL Africa has a wide network of community based workers to identify and support patients coming and returning. HEAL Africa's surgical teams perform outreach surgery in North Kivu and Maniema provinces in local general hospitals, linked at the same time with in-service training of local staff, and referring only the most complicated cases to Goma. These services are recognized by reputable agencies since the United States through IRC, through UNICEF and through Engenderhealth, has invested in HEAL Africa staff, equipment and infrastructure over the past five year. The Spanish Embassy has supported HEAL Africa's prevention of fistula initiatives over the past four years, through their widereaching Safe Motherhood program, working through local associations of mothers-to-be for maternity insurance and access to safe deliveries. HEAL Africa has a clearly defined place within the government medical system of North Kivu where they are recognized as the tertiary referral hospital of the province. Thus they are a recognized clinical training centre of the Medical Faculty of the University of Goma, offering the first two years of accredited clinical specialization in Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Family Medicine, Surgery and Orthopedics. HEAL Africa is a Congolese not for profit association which has completely rebuilt itself after total destruction by the volcano, with assistance from, many friends in USA and around the world. They have a state of the art surgical suite, but the buildings hastily erected in the aftermath of the volcano are inappropriate for the quality of care they wish to offer to patients: they deserve better. We wish to request that the State Department give assistance to HEAL Africa to increase the quality of their services and training capacity through the newly announced package of financial aid. We would like to ask you to fund the 45 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763786 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763786 Date: 07/31/2015 construction of the three storey building which is the final stage of reconstruction of the hospital after the catastrophe of the volcano in January 2002.

I invited them to make their points first (they often complain that people don't listen to them). They focused on the abuses Zelaya committed before June 28, pointing out that the San Jose Accord, while'key to a solution, would not restore the institutional damage done to Honduras. I said that clearly the San Jose Accords were necessary but not sufficient to clean up all the broken crockery in Honduras. But they ARE necessary — and urgent. Only by implementing the agreement can Hondurans repair the other damage with the support of the international community — which is essential for the country's success. I then reviewed all the carrots and sticks we discussed this morning. I cited the Secretary in underscoring urgency. Other countries join us, I emphasized, in seeing the mixed messages coming out of Tegucigalpa as a deliberate delaying tactic designed to move the country toward elections without Zelaya. The United States and others are losing patience with these tactics and want to see solid commitment to the Accord now. The de factos acknowledged that the world perceives them as delaying and that they need to move quickly. I said they should commit publicly to the San Jose Accord when the OAS FMs are in Honduras next week. They said that made sense. Then they brought up another issue. The San Jose Accord grants political amnesty but not amnesty for other crimes. They can arrest Z for corruption as soon as he returns to the country. I pushed back hard, saying no one — Arias, the OAS, the United States — understands the San Jose Accord as leading to Z's immediate arrest. The understanding is that he would resume limited functions with a national unity cabinet until he hands over power to an elected successor. To say they will arrest Z is to ensure that he does not return, and thus the collapse of the Arias plan. They seemed to back off slightly, but this remains a problem.

The three-man assault in Kabul came a day after two militant attacks in the capital, including rockets fired at the presidential palace. It also follows a suicide car bomb explosion in front of NATO's Kabul headquarters Saturday that killed seven, a drumbeat of attacks that would appear to signal the intent of Taliban insurgents and their militant allies to disrupt Thursday's vote. In a sign of how difficult election preparations have been, Afghanistan's chief electoral officer said that 20 percent of election materials hadn't yet been delivered to voting sites less than 24 hours before polls open at 7 a.m. Thursday (0230 GMT Thursday, 10:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday). Daoud Ali Najafi said Afghan army helicopters would be used to,deliver the materials to insecure and hard-to-reach regions.

Police officer Sardar Shah says the driver of the bus lost control Wednesday while driving on a mountain road, and the bus veered into a ditch in the Batagram district of North West Frontier Province. He says three children are among the dead. Shah blamed the accident on the driver's speeding as he went into a sharp turn on the road. Such accidents are common in Pakistan, where roads are often poorly maintained and drivers regularly disregard traffic rules.

Afghan authorities imposed the ban on Tuesday with two decrees, the first barring journalists from reporting any violence in the country between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. (0130-1530 GMT) on polling day. The second ordered journalists to stay away from the scenes of any attacks. The government says the measures are intended to prevent reports of violence from scaring Afghans away from voting. Taliban fighters have vowed to disrupt the election. The United Nations said Afghans had a right to information, and restricting the media could undermine confidence in the poll. "People need access to information, not only on polling day but after polling day. The credibility of these elections is directly linked to the information that they have access to," said Aleem Siddique, spokesman for the U.N. mission in Kabul. "Its unclear to us what if any legal basis there would be for such a directive when Afghanistan's constitution guarantees freedom of expression and freedom of the press. We are making this point to the Afghan authorities," he said on Wednesday. Afghan police have taken a more aggressive attitude towards reporters in recent days. Several journalists were beaten by police at the scene of a suicide car bombing on Tuesday and a siege with gunmen on Wednesday.

Christine Grahame, a member of the Scottish Parliament who has campaigned against the conviction, said she expected former Libyan intelligence agent Abdel Basset al-Megrahi to be freed early on compassionate grounds because he has terminal cancer. The regional administration has come under pressure from the United States to keep Megrahi in jail, while a British government minister said the wait for news was "becoming embarrassing". "I don't think it will be long coming," Grahame told BBC radio. "I suspect we might have something maybe tomorrow (Thursday) morning. We will probably go for compassionate release. It avoids a lot of difficulties." Scotland's Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill is considering two requests from Megrahi to be released early, on compassionate grounds or under a prisoner transfer agreement (PTA) between Britain and Libya.

The votes for the presidency, parliament and other bodies is part of the democratic transformation promised in the 2005 peace deal that ended a north-south civil war that lasted two decades. They will be the first multi-party elections in over 20 years. "The Center reported serious concerns about slippage in the overall electoral calendar," a report said, adding the organization was also worried about new laws and continued restrictions on civil liberties. "(It is an) ambitious schedule but will only be viable if the government of national unity and the NEC (National Elections Commission) take immediate action to ensure that further delays are avoided," the report said.

"Yesterday the ministry of electricity and renewable energy signed a memorandum of understanding with the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation (Rosatom) ... to carry out research in technologies and nuclear devices that may effectively be used in our country," the ministry said in a statement. The ministry said that Rosatom would provide "support and assistance" to help Ecuador draft a set of laws that will limit the use of nuclear energy to peaceful purposes only. The statement says the deal calls for the governments of the two countries to appoint a team that would identify "the most interesting projects to develop a nuclear industry" in the Andean country.

In much of the Taliban's southern strongholds, many people did not dare to vote, bolstering the hopes of President Hamid Karzai's chief rival. At least 26 people were killed in election-related violence, fewer than had been feared. Officials began counting millions of ballots as soon as the polls closed at 5 p.m. after a one-hour extension. First preliminary results weren't expected for several days, and some major candidates were already alleging fraud. A top election official, Zekria Barakzai, told The Associated Press that he estimated 40 to 50 percent of the country's 15 million registered voters cast ballots far lower than the 70 percent who voted in the presidential election in 2004.

Best, ck From: Mangiaracina, Sara A Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 8:32 AM To: Kelly, Craig A Subject: Washington Post editorial: An Open Hand That Weakens Chavez Editorial An Open Hand That Weakens Chavez Edward Schumacher-Matos 21 August 2009 The Washington Post A25 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is a liar and a troublemaker. Congressmen and columnists can say this, but President Obama is correct not to do so, even though his critics want a tougher U.S. policy against the Venezuelan. A testament to the success of diplomatic finesse is that Chavez and his pan-regional socialist dreams have been losing ground in Latin America since the inauguration of Obama and his appointment of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. In the past week alone, two Chavez allies have broken ranks. Ecuador and Venezuela were teamed against neighboring Colombia over a guerrilla war there. But Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa has just accepted an olive branch offered by Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764107 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764107 Date: 07/31/2015 Ecuador's vice president went so far as to add that his country would not let Chavez drag it into war with Colombia, and its defense minister snubbed a renewed Venezuelan attempt to classify Colombia's FARC guerrillas as legitimate state actors. The minister said that Ecuador had "zero tolerance" for the FARC. While Venezuela clearly harbors and funnels arms to the FARC -- despite Chavez's patently false denials -- American and Colombian officials say that Ecuador has been cracking down on the guerrillas along its border. A Colombian raid of a FARC camp inside Ecuador in 2008 led to a rupture in relations between the two countries. Meanwhile, the Paraguayan Congress forced leftist President Fernando Lugo to withdraw a bill that would have allowed Venezuela to join the Mercosur trade pact that also includes Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Brazil had rejected Venezuelan membership last year. In Honduras, the Chavez-led move to restore his friend Manuel Zelaya as president has been losing steam as much of the "rest of the continent has come to grudgingly accept that Zelaya was at least partly to blame for forcing a constitutional crisis. His ouster was hardly a standard coup. The military sent him out of the country after the Supreme Court ordered his arrest for violating the constitution. Zelaya was attempting to follow Chavez's demagogic example of using plebiscites to gut the country's dernocratic institutions. The de facto civilian government there continues to insist that it will allow Zelaya's return only to stand trial. Chavez's allies in Argentina, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and her husband, recently lost congressional elections and are now minority lame ducks in that country. This reduces Chavez's greatest influence to two small countries -- Bolivia and Nicaragua. Further limiting him is that Venezuelan economic ills and mismanaged oil reserves have sharply curtailed his largess. He has provided only $6 billion in foreign assistance this year, compared with $79 billion last year. A crucial test of Chavez's influence will come when Unasur, a new Brazilian-led association of South American presidents, meets next week in Buenos Aires. The emergency session was called to respond to the expanded use of Colombian military bases by American forces that was agreed to in principle this week. Chavez condemns the agreement as a threat to him and the region, citing past American interventions. The final details are still being negotiated, but Obama, Clinton and Uribe insist that the 10-year agreement is merely an extension of the existing training and intelligence-gathering to fight drugs and guerrillas under Plan Colombia. There will be no offensive U.S. weapons such as F-16 fighter aircraft or combat units stationed in Colombia, and no change in the current force cap there of 1,400 Americans, they say. By clumsily working in secrecy, however, the negotiators allowed leaks to frame the project as an American plan, and not as the Colombian idea it largely was. The administration has been winning over the Brazilians and other key players, though just how much remains to be seen. Still, the declining influence of Chavez and possible regional acceptance of the Colombian agreement are due in large part to the administration's adept ability to extend an open hand and attentive ear to all, even Chavez, and thus not play into Latin fears of a Yanqui bully. It has won influence by going along with the rest of the hemisphere in condemning Zelaya's ouster and in making overtures to Cuba, while staying true to American democratic values.

Chavez is a nuisance but not a threat to the United States, and he has to be treated with the hemisphere in mind. So far, Obama and Clinton are doing just fine.

From: Scott Gration [mailto: Sent: Friday, August 21, 2009 5:51 PM To: S_SpecialAssistants Cc: Burns, William 3; Steinberg, James B; Carson, Johnnie; Carter, Phillip X; Shortley, Timothy R Subject: Juba Update Secretary Clinton, greetings from Juba, Southern Sudan, where we've just held our latest round of trilateral talks between the Southern People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and National Congress Party (NCP), facilitated by the United States. This update outlines the outcomes of our trilateral and bilateral discussions, and highlights of the some important issues that will influence our planning in the months ahead. In addition, I'll pass on some impressions from my visit to the Kenana Sugar Factory that illustrates why I believe we need smarter sanctions for Sudan. SPLM and NCP Agreement Yesterday I witnessed the initialing of a bilateral agreement between the SPLM and NCP, in which the parties laid out points of agreement on ten of the twelve major outstanding issues in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). Culminating three months of negotiations, this agreement documents a shared vision for implementing the Abyei arbitration decision, for moving forward on border demarcation, for completing legal reforms, and for resolving other key issues. If the parties match their words with actions, it will bring them closer to full CPA implementation and to peaceful coexistence. To ensure implementation, we have backed up the agreement with timelines and a stoplight chart that we will use to hold both parties accountable to their words. With this agreement, we can now turn our full attention to resolving the electoral census and the referenda for self-determination. We will resume our trilateral talks in Juba in early September. These two issues are the most controversial and potentially destabilizing challenges facing Sudan. It appears likely that we will ultimately have to raise these politically sensitive issues to the level of the Presidency (President Bashir, Vice President Kiir, and Vice President Taha) to reach final agreement. I will keep you posted on my discussions and the potential for meetings at the Presidency-level in Khartoum or Juba. Looming NCP-SPLM Dilemma 1^1A UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764258 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764258 Date: 07/31/2015 As the clock ticks down to the April 2010 national elections and the January 2011 referenda on selfdetermination for Southern Sudan and Abyei, both parties have begun the process of negotiating and defining the path forward to accomplish their highest priorities. The NCP's focus is on holding onto power and controlling the levers of power in Khartoum. In this spirit, the NCP has reached out to the SPLM with an offer of a strategic partnership that would bring the two parties together through the elections (in an electoral alliance that guarantees the election of Bashir in Khartoum and Kiir in Juba). This alliance will also clear the way to implement remaining CPA milestones and to resolve referenda issues. However, the NCP will not let the South go quietly under any scenario. The price of a smooth path to the referenda will be an SPLM commitment to unity, to include Southern Sudan's vocal support for a unified nation. This puts the SPLM in an extremely difficult position. While the SPLM is united in the view that getting to the referenda is their most important objective, asking them to take a position on unity versus separation accentuates a divide that runs deep within the SPLM. For a small core of SPLM who are loyal to the original "New Sudan" vision of John Garang, unity has always been a more attractive option—but not without the fundamental democratic transformation envisioned by the CPA. For an increasingly large portion of the SPLM, separation has become a more attractive option despite the risks; this side of the party seeks to be in sync with the vast majority of the Southern population who are expected to vote for independence. The path to the referenda will be extremely difficult even under the best case scenario. I believe that separation of the South will require very significant political, economic, and possible security investments by the United States. Providing this assistance proactively will be a lot cheaper and easier than waiting until we must react. The Future of Southern Sudan No matter how this strategic dilemma is resolved and which path is taken to the referenda, all indicators suggest that Southerners will vote for independence in January 2011, creating the first new nation in Africa in more than two decades. Unlike other recent examples of independence, such as East Timor and Kosovo, Southern Sudan will not have a long transition period after its vote for independence to prepare itself—indeed it could have as little as six months from the referenda to the day independence is declared. During this period, the government would have to undertake milestones such as establishing a central banking system, issuing new national currency, and setting up commercial banking. The new government would also have to determine the division of assets between North and South, and gain membership in the international financial institutions (e.g., IMF and World Bank) to qualify for financial assistance and debt relief. This are just the monetary policy issues! The South will be born facing serious internal and external security threats, weak governance, and a grave financial situation—we must begin now to prepare both Southern Sudan and the United States for this outcome. Our historic relationship with Southern Sudan gives us a special opportunity to help guide the future of this fragile state, but also a unique responsibility to ensure its viability and its success. To meet these expectations, we have begun to develop a bilateral partnership framework with the SPLM to outline what the United States expects from the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) and the SPLM and what they expect of us. In these talks and in my meeting with President of Southern Sudan Salva Kiir, we discussed how the United States could work with the GoSS to help strengthen its governing capacity, assist with internal security and regional stability, and pursue economic development. As part of the bilateral partnership, we expect the GoSS/SPLM to complete its responsibilities under the CPA, to pursue good governance practices and fiscal transparency, and to support the United States and the international community in promoting security and stability in Darfur and the rest of the country. To meet the South's needs, I believe we need to focus on three areas: 1) transitioning from development assistance to large-scale nation building, 2) instituting "smart" sanctions, and 3) strengthening security assistance to the South. While US development and security assistance projects have increased capacity in Southern Sudan, these activities 171 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764258 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764258 Date: 07/31/2015 have not transformed the South enough to ensure its success in the post-referenda period. We will reevaluate the level of assistance that we provide to the South and will review ongoing projects to ensure we're doing everything we can to prepare for the likely independence in 23 months. The need for smarter sanctions was reinforced during my visit to the Kenana Sugar Company in Northern Sudan, one of the largest integrated sugar companies in the world. I was impressed not only by the scale of sugar production at Kenana, but also by its scope. Kenana engineers use byproducts of the sugar-refining process to produce commercially viable commodities, ranging from animal feed to ethanol. We also visited a school and a hospital catering to Kenana's permanent staff of over 4600. The staff and their families receive free housing, electricity, clean water, medical care, and education. From my perspective, Kenana is a model for securing foreign exchange and stimulating sustainable economic development. This plant provides longterm employment opportunities that could be replicated throughout Sudan. While still maintaining pressure on the Government of Sudan in Khartoum, I believe we could assist the people of Sudan by: In addition to these fixes that apply between now and 2011, we must soon begin to undertake a comprehensive review of our legal and policy guidelines regarding foreign assistance spending and economic relationships to ensure that the South is born unencumbered from the restrictions we have placed on Sudan. My trip will continue in Addis Ababa and Cairo to coordinate efforts to reunify Darfuri rebels and to promote the Darfur peace process. When I return, I would welcome the opportunity to brief you further on these issues prior to the upcoming Principals Committee meeting. I would very much value your insights on the best path forward.

Below is a shorter and updated version of what I sent you earlier. I will be on leave for a week beginning tomorrow and one my deputies, Bill Fitzgerald, will be following this issue in my absence. Regards, Johnnie An American citizen civilian employee of the UN operation in Liberia is suspected of engaging in illegal acts with at least two underage Liberian girls. The Liberian National Police, who received a DVD of the acts, told Embassy officials earlier today they had identified the American citizen and confirmed the identity of two girls—an 11-year-old and another between 12-15 years of age. These are crimes in Liberia as well as in the United States. We are working with Liberian authorities and the UN to ensure that the American citizen is made to answer for these allegations. In the meantime, the Department is working with Department of Justice lawyers to determine if the American citizen can be tried in the United States. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, currently in the Department chairing a promotion panel, has spoken to President Johnson-Sirleaf about the importance of this case. It appears that the UN will waive any immunity the American may have and that the Liberians will take the American citizen into custody. Coming on the heels of your trip to Africa, and the emphasis you placed on gender-based violence and sex crimes, we are making every effort to ensure that this individual is brought to justice, including by offering whatever resources the Liberians need to conduct the best possible investigation.

Government spokesman Klaus Vater said Friday that there is currently "some movement," and Brodkorb said the government has been in contact with the U.S. on Opel over the past 24 hours. Brodkorb stressed that Germany's offer to provide the entire EUR4.5 billion in state aid for Opel came after GM asked Germany to provide more details on aid for the Magna bid but made no request for more state aid details for RHJ. The offer to pay state subsidies entirely and upfront without other European countries that have Opel and Vauxhall plants "is an offer to other countries to help get a fast decision," Brodkorb said. Other European countries with Opel plants include Spain, the U.K., Poland and Belgium. The U.K. government is reportedly irritated by Germany's offer to entirely shoulder state guarantees of up to EUR4.5 billion in the deal because a decision on state aid wouldn't be up to Germany alone since the Opel bids also involve Vauxhall and production sites in Spain and Poland. Opel has around 50,000 staff in Europe, of which around half are based in Germany. 12) UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764302 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764302 Date: 07/31/2015 1.), UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764302 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764305 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Valmoro, Lona J Saturday, August 22, 2009 11:04 AM H; Huma Abedin Re: UNGA I don't see why we couldn't -- Huma?

Steinmeier said once it became clear who would lead Afghanistan after the election there, talks should begin over how long foreign troops should stay.

A presidential Blue House official says talks between President Lee Myung-bak and the delegation from Pyongyang are being held at the president's office Sunday morning. The North Korean delegation flew to Seoul on Friday to pay respects to former President Kim Dae-jung who died last week. Their visit provided a rare opportunity for dialogue between the two Koreas, whose relations have been largely frozen since Lee took office last year with a tougher line on the North. Speaking on condition of anonymity citing government policy the official says she could not provide further details.

Sunday has been eventful. - Fosnight was arrested about 40 minutes ago and is under house arrest. His U.S. passport has been seized. The Consular Officer is aware and has passed to him (via the RSO, who's on the scene) the names of three local lawyers. The RSO reported that Fosnight is also seeking to be in touch with a U.S. lawyer. The Consular Officer will send a report of arrest cable tomorrow, and stands ready to meet with Fosnight. - The GOL has formally asked UNMIL to assist in making sure that the house arrest is effective, in order to ensure that Fosnight's rights are protected and to minimize flight risk. - Getting to this point involved a harrowing six hours. This morning at approximately 11:00 am, the Liberia National Police, accompanied by UN Police and our RSO, went to Fosnight's apartment to carry out the arrest. Although Fosnight had been under LNP surveillance by five officers, he managed to leave the apartment at around 10:00 in his UN-marked vehicle. (The Director of Police will be investigating how that happened.) Airport, immigration, police, and UN authorities were alerted. - At approximately 3:00 pm, we learned that Fosnight was still in Monrovia and was in phone contact with UNMIL officials as well as LNP officers. Finally, he agreed to be met by the LNP at his apartment, where he was arrested. He was read his rights, and read the charges, which include statutory rape and exploitation of children, among other charges. Fosnight stated that he and his Sierra Leonean ex-wife (or ex-girlfriend) - the 157 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764413 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764413 Date: 07/31/2015 woman with whom he adopted the five-year old - were planning to fly out this afternoon on Elysian Air to Freetown. - At the apartment this morning, the arrest team discovered that Fosnight had left behind in the apartment his five-year old daughter and housekeeper, a young Liberian man of about 20 years. The housekeeper had recently burned a large box of papers and other items outside behind the apartment. There was no computer in the apartment, but there was a router, which was still plugged in. The five-year old has been put into protective custody and the housekeeper is being questioned. - Also in LNP custody for questioning are the Liberian ex-girlfriend and the Sierra Leonean ex-wife. The Sierra Leonean had been in the apartment in the morning and left around 10:00 am, separately from Fosnight. - A team of ICE officers is trying to arrive Tuesday; details TBC.

It identified State as the source of big ideas under your leadership, ideas that adapt our foreign policy to a 21st c world and allow us to get things done. As I think about what I want to sink my teeth into over the next 18 months and how I can best serve you, I have concluded that I want to devote myself full time to the QDDR. -- driving the process and the outcomes as efficiently and effectvely as possible. I have run something like this before; I know almost all the players; my staff is well plugged into the building; and I am committed to all the ideas that we want to see emerge. Instead of hiring a senior director, I propose that the AID designate and I start driving the process by working w/ Karen and the staff and reporting to/engaging the senior leadiership team on a weekly basis. As Cheryl and I discussed, I am well aware that taking on this role means cutting many other things that I do. The demands for policy planning talks have been proliferating because they serve the interests of the bureaus. I am less convinced that they are the best use of my time or that they allow me to best serve you. There are 2 sets -- one with 5 middle eastern countries that we have agreed to hold in Jordan this fall -- this is their second meeting -- and the second round of the russia-eu-us talks that I think it would be very detrimental to cancel. But I shd b able to make those each 3 day trips total. Other than that I wd cancel all my planned travel for the fall. I would also limit outside speaking engagements except to the extent such engagement served QDDR outreach purposes. QDDR meetings will also take priority on my calendar, alongside meetings w/ my staff on other projects we are pursuing. As it is shaping up, the QDDR combines thinking and doing in a way that fits what I think I can bring to the table perfectly and make this what you want it to be. I very much want to take on the role I describe, and hope you agree.

Rothman has called our office directly and threatened holy war and Fox news "if the State Department allows this." A few minutes ago we also got a letter from Sen. Lautenberg to the Secretary expressing similar concerns. The anger is of course over the "hero's welcome" for Megrahi.

We see country-led processes as a centerpiece of a new global agenda. This event would most likely take place on Thursday, September 24, at 3:30pm. If you cannot co-host the meeting, I would welcome the participation of your representative at the meeting. • Event Content: We would like this event to be an opportunity for a broad group of global stakeholders to commit to the food security principles agreed to at the L'Aquila summit. We hope to extend the L'Aquila food security principles to countries that were not present at the summit. The event will also focus on highlighting country-led processes, such as the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Program (CAADP). I welcome your thoughts on other issues you would like the meeting to cover. We look to the UN to provide leadership in advancing a global agenda. • Event Partners: We envision inviting Heads of State or senior ministers from donor countries, signatories to the L'Aquila joint statement on food security, and developing nations. We would also like to include foundations, NGOs, the private sector, media, and multilateral organizations. Background: We want Ban Ki-moon and the UN High Level Task Force to play a leading role in combating global hunger. We believe that co-hosting this event with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon would highlight the global nature of our food security strategy.

STATE 86734 B. STATE 82581 1. (SBU) This is an action request, see paras 4 and 5. 2. (SBU) On August 14, the USG and Colombian government provisionally agreed ad referendum to the text of a bilateral Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) (septel). We expect the final agreement may be signed in Bogota in about a month, following a final review by both sides. As noted in reftels, the DCA would permit the United States access to several Colombian military bases and facilitate effective bilateral cooperation on security matters in Colombia. It would not/not authorize establishment of any U.S. bases or ports, nor would it result in an overall increase in the number of U.S. military personnel or U.S.-citizen civilian contractors in Colombia. 3. (SBU) On August 18, the Secretary and Colombian FM Jaime Bermudez met in Washington to discuss the DCA, including the importance of coordinating our public affairs and diplomatic strategies (septel to follow). There is some concern that the upcoming Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) summit would become a regional referendum on the DCA. Colombian President Alvaro Uribe will attend the summit provided that a full range of regional security matters can be discussed, not just the DCA. In this context, we are reaching out to selected UNASUR members to ask that they raise other regional security issues beyond the DCA. 4. (SBU) Action requested for Santiago, Asuncion, and Lima: that you find an opportunity prior to the August 28 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764535 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764535 Date: 07/31/2015 summit to raise the importance of discussing the full range of regional security topics during the summit, and not merely the DCA, with appropriate high levels of host government. 5. (SBU) Action requested for all: that Ambassadors to UNASUR member states deliver the attached letter from the Secretary to host governments in advance of the August 28 summit. 6. (SBU) Begin text: Dear Mr./Madam Minister: I wanted to take a moment to write to you and your colleagues about the upcoming summit of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), scheduled for August 28 in Bariloche. UNASUR provides an important forum to address the issues and challenges that affect the region. The United States supports the formation and effective functioning of regional groups such as UNASUR. They promote stability, cohesion, and leadership on key issues, and ensure the best possible communication between nations. We are committed to being as forthcoming as possible in addressing concerns about this bilateral agreement with nations in the region, and we have endeavored to do so in recent weeks through a variety of mechanisms. As concerns or questions arise, I hope that you will feel free to reach out to us to seek clarification. The UNASUR summit provides a unique opportunity for the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764535 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764535 Date: 07/31/2015 organization to address a range of security issues that affect the hemisphere, and I salute your leadership for deciding to discuss these matters.

The Taylor testimony is going well from our point of view. He is opening himself to a devastating CX by telling unexpected and unnecessary lies about his activities in Liberia and the region. I have been using my access to senior Liberian, Sierra Leone, and UN officials to obtain new evidence with which to confront him. This is well in hand and I dont see a problem in leaving even if Taylor is still on the stand on September 7. The major reason to stay as Prosecutor until that date (aside from the requirement of a 30-day notice to the UNSG) is the oral argument on the appeal of our last case in Freetown (involving historic gender violence convictions) on September 2, 3, and 4. However, from my conversations with Clint, I am concerned that there are several issues that are coming to head at this time, and know that I will have to hit the ground very fast on September 8. Because my schedule is light in the coming week and because I have some leave days to use, I have therefore planned a quick trip to DC to be there from Wednesday noon through Saturday noon, August 26-29. I wont yet move into the office, but the staff will help me schedule some informal meetings on several issues. Additionally, this will give me a chance to look for a place to live. . I hope that we can talk when I am Washington this week.

Cheryl, I hope for your sake that you don't get this email for a while and that you're getting some genuine R&R. Anyway, David Rubenstein of the Carlyle Group is asking my advice on whether HRC would welcome an invitation to address the Economic Club of Washington in September. Obviously business-heavy. Audience: 400-500, screen questions for after talk and he can provide them in advance; media coverage, etc. I told him I had no idea but would check. Depending on her outreach strategy for the fall, it could be a good audience, esp. if she wanted to talk about issues like China, the development, the role of the private sector, or energy/climate—i.e., the econ aspect/component of foreign policy.

He clearly "gets it." He said that Megrahi would NOT appear on the September 1 revolution day festivities (40th anniversary of the "green revolution"). And he said that he totally understood that Qadhafi should stay in New York and not set up a tent in New Jersey. At the same time, others from the MFA called in our Embassy in Tripoli and called in the UK ambassador. The Libyans are clearly looking for a way out of the self-inflicted mess. Let's hope that these wiser heads can prevail on Qadhafi. We've double-tracked with the (very good and long-suffering) Libyan Ambassador here.

First, I'd like to let you know about the successful next step in a strategy we are pursuing at the UN Human Rights Council to begin to change the dialogue on Freedom of Expression. We think we have developed a well-balanced text that we can move forward to adoption in the UN HRC's September session. This work contributes to our long-term effort to improve this UN body. Progress on this issue would help us later as we address the even more difficult issue of the "defamation of religions" about which the Secretary expressed interest in a Monday senior staff meeting. An 10-DRL-L-NEA group has been working together to implement the strategy that involves reaching agreement with the Egyptians on a text that we will roll out late next week with countries in the OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference) and the WEOG (Western European and Other Group, our regional group at the UN). Experts in L, DRL, 10, and NEA agree that the text protects all USG red lines and offers us a workable compromise that can secure genuine cross-regional consensus when presented in the Human Rights Council in September, hopefully avoiding a divisive vote on this issue. US and Egyptian teams also agreed to the possibility of further cooperation in the UNGA to come to a soft landing on defamation of religions if Cairo and Washington first succeed in passing the FoE resolution by OIC/WEOG consensus.

Eap is asking you to call Thai foreign minister kasit regarding the case of the russian arms dealer viktor bout. Are you ok doing this call in the next day or so? Below is call sheet and I also faxed to the house. Purpose of Call: To underscore the importance we place on a the Royal Thai Government's successful appeal of the court decision rejecting the extradition of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout to the United States and the importance of his continued detention pending the outcome of the appeal. Background: On August 11, 2009, a Thai judge denied a U.S. extradition request of accused arms smuggler Viktor Bout (pron: BOOT) to face trial in New York for conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals and officers; acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles; and provide material support to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The Thai Attorney General's Office will appeal the ruling. FM Kasit has been a strong ally on Burma and released a forward-leaning Chairman's statement on behalf of ASEAN following ASSK's conviction.

Netanyahu has said ahead of his meeting with U.S. Mideast envoy George Mitchell that he wants an agreement that allows Israel to proceed with some settlement construction while at the same time restarting peace talks with the Palestinians. In the past week, both Israel and the U.S. have been signaling that an agreement could be within reach. Speaking alongside Mitchell before the meeting, Netanyahu said he hoped peace negotiations would resume "shortly." "We are making headway. My government has taken steps in both words and deeds to move forward," he said. But in the days preceding Wednesday's meeting, the key encounter of the Israeli leader's four-day London trip, he also made clear he sees the spotlight on settlements as unfair and insisted the Mideast conflict is rooted in a deep Arab enmity toward Israel that predates them. 177 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764531 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764534 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Mills, Cheryl D Wednesday, August 26, 2009 7:51 AM Abedin, Huma; Sullivan, Jacob FW: Urgent Letter for the Secretary's Clearance (U) UNASUR Letter.doc HRC — They are looking for your sign off on this as early this am — the final will have any edits recommended by Jim.

Will be joint from u and wjc. Senator Ted Kennedy was one of the most important and influential leaders of our time, whose five decades as Senator from Massachusetts helped to shape America's history and chart our shared future. During our time in the White House, we were thankful for his fierce advocacy and support for universal health care and his work to provide health coverage to low-income children. Without his tireless efforts, America would not be as close to achieving health care reform as we are today.Continuing the legacy left by his older brothers, his lifelong pursuit of civil rights and justice for all moved America forward to form a more perfect union. But beyond his death, his legacy of public service will live on in millions of young people across our nation who now have the chance to serve through the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which will expand AmeriCorps and other youth service opportunities. He loved his country, his wife Vicki, and his incredible children and grandchildren. We are proud to have known him, worked alongside him, and called him our friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the people of Massachusetts during this difficult time.

STATE 86734 B. STATE 82581 1. (SBU) This is an action request, see paras 4 - 6. 2. (SBU) On August 14, the USG and Colombian government provisionally agreed ad referendum to the text of a bilateral Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) (septel). We expect the final agreement may be signed in Bogota in about a month, following a final review by both sides. As noted in reftels, the DCA would permit the United States access to several Colombian military bases and facilitate effective bilateral cooperation on security matters in Colombia. It would not/not authorize establishment of any U.S. bases or ports, nor would it result in an overall increase in the number of U.S. military personnel or U.S.-citizen civilian contractors in Colombia. 3. (SBU) On August 18, the Secretary and Colombian FM Jaime Bermudez met in Washington to discuss the DCA, including the importance of coordinating our public affairs and diplomatic strategies (septel to follow). There is some concern that the upcoming Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) summit would become a regional referendum on the DCA.

In this context, we are reaching out to selected UNASUR members to ask that they raise other regional security issues beyond the DCA. 4. (SBU) Action requested for Santiago, Asuncion, and Lima: that you find an opportunity prior to the August 28 summit to raise the importance of discussing the full range of regional security topics during the summit, and not merely the DCA, with appropriate high levels of host government. 5. (SBU) Action requested for all: that Ambassadors to UNASUR member states deliver the attached letter from the Secretary to host governments in advance of the August 2,8 summit. 6. (U) Begin text: Dear Madam/Mr. Minister: I wanted to take a moment to write to you and your colleagues about the upcoming summit of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), scheduled for August 28 in Bariloche. UNASUR provides an important forum to address the issues and challenges that affect the region. The United States supports the formation and effective functioning of regional groups such as UNASUR. They promote stability, cohesion, and leadership on key issues, and ensure the best possible communication between nations. As you know, our common neighbor, Colombia, has faced an ongoing threat from an unholy alliance of terrorist groups funded by the insidious illegal narcotics trade. These terrorists have threatened the security of average Colombians and sought to overthrow by violence and corruption successive, democratically-elected Colombian governments. The actions of these groups also threaten the security of other countries in the hemisphere, sometimes directly, in many ways indirectly. Over the last decade, Colombians have beat back this threat, to the benefit of us all. My country is proud of the role we have been able to play in this effort. This battle is far from won. Our governments and people are collectively forced to find ways to protect ourselves and our institutions from such threats. I am certain these very issues will be addressed at the upcoming summit, including the recently concluded Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) . We understand the UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764569 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764569 Date: 07/31/2015 sensitivities associated with U.S. military activities in the hemisphere and the questions your government may have regarding the scope and extent of this agreement. I hope the efforts made in the last few weeks by both my government and the Colombian government have helped address those questions. I would like to take this opportunity to make several key points about the DCA. First, this agreement is a bilateral agreement with Colombia to deepen our cooperation on security challenges within Colombia, permitting U.S. access to specified agreed Colombian facilities to undertake mutually agreed activities on Colombian territory. It is a bilateral agreement that does not pose any threat or risk for the citizens of other nations. On the contrary, our mutual efforts to combat drug trafficking benefit the security of the region as a whole. The agreement does not permit the establishment of U.S. bases in Colombia. It will not result in an increase in the U.S. military presence in Colombia, and we do not seek any such increase. Activities undertaken at or from Colombian bases by U.S. persons will be coordinated in advance by Colombian authorities. All activities will be based on full respect for the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity of states, and non-interventionism. We are committed to being as forthcoming as possible in addressing concerns about this bilateral agreement with nations in the region, and we have endeavored to do so in recent weeks through a variety of mechanisms. As concerns or questions arise, I hope that you will feel free to reach out to us to seek clarification. The UNASUR summit provides a unique opportunity for the organization to address a range of security issues that affect the hemisphere, and I salute your leadership for deciding to discuss these matters. The security challenges affecting our hemisphere, and your nations in particular, are pressing and grave. Our firm belief is that a collective and collaborative approach to these matters is essential. It is our commitment to work with UNASUR nations to help address these concerns. Sincerely yours, Hillary Rodham Clinton End text.

Our approach is in some ways different from Panzi, because we are so limited by our facilities: we have to do our surgical work by 'campaigns' — this month, a vvf campaign; next month, a cleft lip and palate campaign; then a club foot and post polio campaign. This lack of space, with our commitment to training 12 Congolese doctors in six specialist areas of medicine, limits us considerably, and makes our medical teams compete with each other for OR time and beds. To deal with the cases waiting in rural areas, we regularly send our surgical specialists on outreach: in July, they operated in Kasongo (South Maniema), in August at home in Goma, in September in Adi, in October in South Maniema and November back in Adi, December, here in Goma. Outreach is very unsatisfactory to surgeons: they like to be able to follow through to complete recovery, and we like to accompany women with training and literacy and psychosocial support. Although this provides teaching time to local doctors, there must be a better way to provide continuing medical education to the rural medical staff of Congo.

The special thing about learning at HEAL Africa is that young doctors can go out with our Safe Motherhood teams, learning how to prevent fistula from ever happening to women; they learn how medical and psychosocial services can be delivered to survivors of rape out in the most remote and dangerous parts of the province. Because of this program of education, more than 50% of women attacked are getting PEP in their nearest health centres. And these young doctors get the message that our programs converge towards empowerment of women. For me, that means, reviving the soul of Congo. USAID Kinshasa is sending two people here at the end of the week, to talk more to us about how we want to develop our services. I want to show them these needs: An adequate teaching facility in Goma; with regular visits from overseas experts, especially urologists; Reinforcing the GBV program — all the components of response, plus teaching the Gender and Justice module over the LONG TERM, to bring communities in line with the new laws; Extending and reinforcing the community based Safe Motherhood program (a combination of women's empowerment with traditional reinforcement of maternity services). Dear Melanne, I know that this visit from USAID is happening because you came to visit us first. Believe me, we are all very grateful for this, and we will do our utmost not to disappoint you.

We had heard so much about the extraordinary work that you do every day that it was a privilege to actually be able to come and meet you and have the chance to be there. I have been troubled by the communication that I've had from you and others suggesting some kind of deal between the US and the Norwegian Government had been made to build a state of the art fistula and teaching hospital in Goma.

The package of US supports that the Secretary announced were made to directly respond to needs that we had heard from local people on the ground who are doing the heroic work that all of you do every day. When I was speaking with you prior to the roundtable discussion, I had mentioned training for local doctors to be able to perform complicated fistula surgeries. This is clearly a need that Dr. Mukwege expressed to us and we will be working with him to figure out the best ways to address this need, given his circumstances. I know when I raised it with you, you had mentioned having such potential training made available outside the DRC. We obviously want to be able to address your specific needs and would like to discuss this further with you, if it is something you would want us to pursue. As for the Norwegian commitment, I am hoping to speak to them shortly and I will recommend that any support they want to provide for medical treatment in North Kivu be directed to assisting you. Please know that we came to HEAL Africa because we support the work that you do. We did not come to undermine it.

SUBJECT: DEMARCHE/LETTER PRIOR TO AUGUST 28 UNASUR SUMMIT REF: A. STATE 86734 B. STATE 82581 1. (SBU) This is an action request, see paras 4 - 6. 2. (SBU) On August 14, the USG and Colombian government provisionally agreed ad referendum to the text of a bilateral Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) (septel). We expect the final agreement may be signed in Bogota in about a month, following a final review by both sides. As noted in reftels, the DCA would permit the United States access to several Colombian military bases and facilitate effective bilateral cooperation on security matters in Colombia. It would not/not authorize establishment of any U.S. bases or ports, nor would it result in an overall increase in the number of U.S. military personnel or U.S.-citizen civilian contractors in Colombia. 3. (SBU) On August 18, the Secretary and Colombian FM Jaime Bermudez met in Washington to discuss the DCA, including the importance of coordinating our public affairs and diplomatic strategies (septel to follow). There is some concern that the upcoming Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) summit would become a regional referendum on the DCA. Colombian President Alvaro Uribe will attend the summit provided that a full range of regional security matters can be discussed, not just the DCA. In this context, we are reaching out to selected UNASUR members to ask that they raise other regional security issues beyond the DCA. 4. (SBU) Action requested for Santiago, Asuncion, and Lima: that you find an opportunity prior to the August 28 summit to raise the importance of discussing the full range of regional security topics during the summit, and not merely the DCA, with appropriate high levels of host government. 265 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764568 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764568 Date: 07/31/2015 5. (SBU) Action requested for all: that Ambassadors to UNASUR member states deliver the attached letter from the Secretary to host governments in advance of the August 28 summit. 6. (U) Begin text: Dear Madam/Mr. Minister: I wanted to take a moment to write to you and your colleagues about the upcoming summit of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), scheduled for August 28 in Bariloche. UNASUR provides an important forum to address the issues and challenges that affect the region. The United States supports the formation and effective functioning of regional groups such as UNASUR. They promote stability, cohesion, and leadership on key issues, and ensure the best possible communication between nations. As you know, our common neighbor, Colombia, has faced an ongoing threat from an unholy alliance of terrorist groups funded by the insidious illegal narcotics trade. These terrorists have threatened the security of average Colombians and sought to overthrow by violence and corruption successive, democratically-elected Colombian governments. The actions of these groups also threaten the security of other countries in the hemisphere, sometimes directly, in many ways indirectly. Over the last decade, Colombians have beat back this threat, to the benefit of us all. My country is proud of the role we have been able to play in this effort. This battle is far from won. Our governments and people are collectively forced to find ways to protect ourselves and our institutions from such threats. I am certain these very issues will be addressed at the upcoming summit, including the recently concluded Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA). We understand the sensitivities associated with U.S. military activities in the hemisphere and the questions your government may have regarding the scope and extent of this agreement. I hope the efforts made in the last few weeks by both my government and the Colombian government have helped address those questions. I would like to take this opportunity to make several key points about the DCA. First, this agreement is a bilateral agreement with Colombia to deepen our cooperation on security challenges within Colombia, permitting U.S. access to specified agreed Colombian 26fi UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764568 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764568 Date: 07/31/2015 facilities to undertake mutually agreed activities on Colombian territory. It is a bilateral agreement that does not pose any threat or risk for the citizens of other nations. On the contrary, our mutual efforts to combat drug trafficking benefit the security of the region as a whole. The agreement does not permit the establishment of U.S. bases in Colombia. It will not result in an increase in the U.S. military presence in Colombia, and we do not seek any such increase. Activities undertaken at or from Colombian bases by U.S. persons will be coordinated in advance by Colombian authorities. All activities will be based on full respect for the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity of states, and non-interventionism. We are committed to being as forthcoming as possible in addressing concerns about this bilateral agreement with nations in the region, and we have endeavored to do so in recent weeks through a variety of mechanisms. As concerns or questions arise, I hope that you will feel free to reach out to us to seek clarification. The UNASUR summit provides a unique opportunity for the organization to address a range of security issues that affect the hemisphere, and I salute your leadership for deciding to discuss these matters. The security challenges affecting our hemisphere, and your nations in particular, are pressing and grave. Our firm belief is that a collective and collaborative approach to these matters is essential. It is our commitment to work with UNASUR nations to help address these concerns. Sincerely yours, Hillary Rodham Clinton End text.

Helicopter support for Emb Baghdad • Pat Kennedy noted that Blackwater's contract ends Sept. 4, but problems have arisen with the successor being ready to assume helo support tasks; they have not secured the necessary helos nor obtained the required certificates of airworthiness and are in breach of their contract. Rather than shut down Embassy operations after Sept. 4, it may be necessary to give Blackwater a short (perhaps 2 months) extension until the successor is ready to perform. M is talking to Chris Hill about our options; he would need to discuss this with the Iraqis if Blackwater is extended. Libya • Rich Verma noted the planned demonstration in Englewood, New Jersey this weekend in opposition to Qaddafi's desire to stay there during UNGA. There is now a possibility that Qaddafi will stay at a hotel in Manhattan. Bill will talk to Jeff Feltman and hopes this will be resolved today; if so, H said they would inform Rep. Rothman and Senator Lautenberg. Hearings • Rich reported that Chris Hill is scheduled to appear before the SFRC on Sept 9 and the HFAC on Sept 10, perhaps with Gen. Odierno, although Odierno may not be available those dates. There was discussion of the pros and cons of appearing with or without Gen. Odierno, given past precedent on Iraq and Afghanistan testimony and the general rule that ambassadors usually do not testify on the Hill. • Upcoming confirmation hearings include those for Bob Hormats on Sept 9, perhaps with Jose Fernandez, and a panel of EUR ambassadorial-nominees on Sept 10. Also, Richard Holbrooke will testify on Sept 15 before the House Foreign Operations subcommittee.

Honduras is a candidate country. If Honduras is subject to the restrictions in section 7008, it would be listed in that section of the report that identifies countries that would be candidate countries but for legal prohibitions that prohibit assistance. The report would also provide an explanation of the legal prohibition (in fact, other coup restricted countries, such as Cote d'Ivoire, Madagascar, Mauritania, and Sudan, are on the prohibited list and section 7008 is explicitly mentioned). The list must be approved by the Board of the MCC, of which the Secretary is the chair, and is due on 9/10. It is our understanding that an action memo will be presented to the Secretary, perhaps as early as next week, so that she can approve submission of the report. The action memo will require the Secretary to decide whether Honduras is a country without a "specified legal prohibition" or whether such a prohibition has in fact attached.

One bombing killed at least a dozen people in a primarily Sunni village north of Baghdad. Officials say police opened fire in an attempt to stop the truck, forcing it to change direction and slam into a concrete barrier near a market. The blast damaged the police station and a number of nearby homes and shops. The attack comes three days after Iraqi police defused a car bomb in the same area, and the police chief says it may be retaliation. The second attack occurred near Mosul, where a parked truck bomb exploded and killed at least four people. 318 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764876 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764880 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Huma Abedin Saturday, August 29, 2009 1:41 PM H; 'ValmoroU@state.gov' Re: Schedule We'll follow up.

The charge, which set off a new outbreak of tensions between the United States and Pakistan, was made in an unpublicized diplomatic protest in late June to Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani and other top Pakistani officials. The accusation comes at a particularly delicate time, when the administration is asking Congress to approve $7.5 billion in aid to Pakistan over the next five years, and when Washington is pressing a reluctant Pakistani military to focus its attentions on fighting the Taliban, rather than expanding its nuclear and conventional forces aimed at India. While American officials say that the weapon in the latest dispute is a conventional one — based on the Harpoon antiship missiles that were sold to Pakistan by the Reagan administration as a defensive weapon in the cold war — the subtext of the argument is growing concern about the speed with which Pakistan is developing new generations of both conventional and nuclear weapons. "There's a concerted effort to get these guys to slow down," one senior administration official said. "Their energies are misdirected." At issue is the detection by American intelligence agencies of a suspicious missile test on April 23 — a test never announced by the Pakistanis — that appeared to give the country a new offensive weapon. 323 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764905 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764905 Date: 07/31/2015 American military and intelligence officials say they suspect that Pakistan has modified the Harpoon antiship missiles that the United States sold the country in the 198os, a move that would be a violation of the Arms Control Export Act. Pakistan has denied the charge, saying it developed the missile itself. The United States has also accused Pakistan of modifying American-made P-3C aircraft for land-attack missions, another violation of United States law that the Obama administration has protested. Whatever their origin, the missiles would be a significant new entry into Pakistan's arsenal against India. They would enable Pakistan's small navy to strike targets on land, complementing the sizable land-based missile arsenal that Pakistan has developed. That, in turn, would be likely to spur another round of an arms race with India that the United States has been trying, unsuccessfully, to halt. "The focus of our concern is that this is a potential unauthorized modification of a maritime antiship defensive capability to an offensive land-attack missile," said another senior administration official, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matter involves classified information. "The potential for proliferation and end-use violations are things we watch very closely," the official added. "When we have concerns, we act aggressively." A senior Pakistani official, also speaking on the condition of anonymity because the interchanges with Washington have been both delicate and highly classified, said the American accusation was "incorrect." The official said that the missile tested was developed by Pakistan, just as it had modified North Korean designs to build a range of land-based missiles that could strike India. He said that Pakistan had taken the unusual step of agreeing to allow American officials to inspect the country's Harpoon inventory to prove that it had not violated the law, a step that administration officials praised. Some experts are also skeptical of the American claims. Robert Hewson, editor of Jane's Air Launched Weapons, a yearbook and Web-based data service, said the Harpoon missile did not have the necessary range for a land-attack missile, which would lend credibility to Pakistani claims that they are developing their own new missile. Moreover, he said, Pakistan already has more modern land-attack missiles that it developed itself or acquired from China. "They're beyond the need to reverse-engineer old U.S. kit," Mr. Hewson said in a telephone interview. "They're more sophisticated than that." Mr. Hewson said the shipto-shore missile that Pakistan was testing was part of a concerted effort to develop an 324 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764905 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764905 Date: 07/31/2015 array of conventional missiles that could be fired from the air, land or sea to address India's much more formidable conventional missile arsenal. The dispute highlights the level of mistrust that remains between the United States and a Pakistani military that American officials like to portray as an increasingly reliable partner in the effort to root out the forces of the Taliban and Al Qaeda on Pakistani territory. A central element of the American effort has been to get the military refocused on the internal threat facing the country, rather than on threat the country believes it still faces from India. Pakistani officials have insisted that they are making that shift. But the evidence continues to point to heavy investments in both nuclear and conventional weapons that experts say have no utility in the battle against insurgents. Over the years, the United States has provided a total of 165 Harpoon missiles to Pakistan, including 37 of the older-model weapons that were delivered from 1985 to 1988, said Charles Taylor, a spokesman for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. The country's nuclear arsenal is expanding faster than any other nation's. In May, Pakistan conducted a test firing of its Babur medium-range cruise missile, a weapon that military experts say could potentially be tipped with a nuclear warhead. The test was conducted on May 6, during a visit to Washington by President Asif Ali Zardari, but was not made public by Pakistani officials until three days after the meetings had ended to avoid upsetting the talks. While it may be technically possible to arm the Harpoons with small nuclear weapons, outside experts say it would probably not be necessary. Before Congress departed for its summer recess, administration officials briefed crucial legislators on the protest to Pakistan. The dispute has the potential to delay or possibly even derail the legislation to provide Pakistan with $7.5 billion in civilian aid over five years; lawmakers are scheduled to vote on the aid package when they return from their recess next month. The legislation is sponsored by Senators John Kerry of Massachusetts and Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the top Democrat and Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, as well as Representative Howard L. Berman, a California Democrat who leads the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Congressional aides are now reconciling House and Senate versions of the legislation. 17S UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764905 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764905 Date: 07/31/2015 Frederick Jones, a spokesman for Mr. Kerry, declined to comment on the details of the dispute citing its classified nature but suggested that the pending multifaceted aid bill would clear Congress "in a few weeks" and would help cooperation between the two countries.

He described Z's statement advocating the death penalty (presumably to apply to his political enemies) and asking for the extension of his term in office as "disastrous". He said that Insulza had made the right call by not allowing Z to address the OASGA.

Micheletti has asked about half the team to return to Tegucigalpa (Corrales stayed, as "he seeks to confirm that he will not lose his visa"). In the phone call he got from the de facto envoys as they headed for the airport, Biehl said he detected a positive attitude. The envoys seemed confident they would get M to sign the SJ Accord. The envoys prmoised to call Biehi late this afternoon with the news from Honduras. If, if, if, if, the news is positive, Biehl and OAS Political Director Victor Rico will leave for Tegucigalpa tomorrow morning to meet Micheletti, make sure this is not another time-wasting tactic, and get something in writing from him that he agrees to the Accord and will sign it. Just before speaking to me, Biehl had spoken with Arias who expressed cautious optimisim that we might have a break-through. Arias told Biehl to tell us, that if that happens the United States gets the credit. Arias said the US has played the game exactly right, with the appropriate mix of carrots, sticks, toughness, unified message, even-handedness and, above all, good timing. Arias said the Europeans have been calling him over the past two days, and have fallen into line with the US; the Swedes, as head of the EU, and have told him that they will take their cue from the US and will support US actions. Arias, Biehi said, was extremely complimentary of the "great political instincts shown by Secretary Clinton." -1-4n UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764911 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764911 Date: 07/31/2015 With fingers crossed, the old rabbit's foot out of the box in the attic, I will be sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch . . .

Holbrooke's team is actually getting things done, including the implementation of more than 20 detailed action plans. Some examples of the work thus far: • The civilian surge in Afghanistan is on pace to meet targets by end of year. • Our approach to assistance in Afghanistan has changed dramatically, both through the consolidation of efforts under Tony Wayne and the review (and sometimes rejection) of assistance contracts. • • Holbrooke has opened and is actively pursuing R/R channels. • The swift and comprehensive U.S. response helped alleviate and reduce the impact of the Swat refugee crisis. • • The trilateral meetings have helped create conditions for progress on key cross-border issues. )11 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764934 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764934 Date: 07/31/2015 • Holbrooke's international diplomacy — in the Gulf, with China, with the cadre of other special representatives — has translated into funding and equipment commitments, more buy-in, and more patience. Holbrooke has been a key driver of (non-military) strategic innovation in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Here are some examples:Ill Defining a regional approach to Af/Pak (including trilateral summits) • The regional approach championed by Holbrooke became a central feature of the Reidel report; the trilats are a pure Holbrooke invention Afghanistan The clearest voice and thinker on swifter and more heavily resourced "Afghanization" primarily by standing up a sufficiently large and sufficiently capable ANSF — as the preferable alternative to adding more troops. • The Reidel report calls for training 134,000 army and 82,000 police over two years; Holbrooke is working through a strategy that would more than double those numbers and speed the pace of training. Such a strategy has to resolve significant obstacles, particularly with respect to the police. Framing and executing the U.S. approach to Afghan elections: • Developing a strategy — in partnership with the Afghan government and others — for pursuing reconciliation/reintegration. • The Reidel report discusses support for the Afghan government's efforts to reintegrate "non ideologically-committed" insurgents who lay down their arms, renounce al Qaeda, and accept the Afghan Constitution. Holbrooke was key in developing this aspect of the report, and is now working through the next phases. Prioritizing a shift in emphasis on counternarcotics from eradication to interdiction • The Reidel report discusses the need for increased interdiction efforts — and the attendant need to support licit agriculture to shift livelihoods. Emphasizing and executing our engagement with Arab allies, China, and Turkey UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No7F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764934 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764934 Date: 07/31/2015 • The Reidel report speaks generally about engaging all those with a stake in the region. It does not lay out a specific diplomatic strategy or priority countries. • [NOTE: • This issue does not get extensive treatment in the Reidel report. Pakistan • The Reidel report does not speak in any detail to this issue. Responding decisively to the refugee crisis in Swat and Buner • Obviously, the Reidel report does not address this. The immediate response to the refugee crisis was Holbrooke's team at its finest. Making the image of the United States in Pakistan as a critical strategic priority • The Reidel report focuses on strategic communications in Afghanistan. Holbrooke's recent trip with Judith McHale is the latest in an ongoing effort to develop a strategic communications plan for Pakistan. Generally, Holbrooke, along with McDonough, has been the key mover on all things related to strategic communications in both Afghanistan and Pakistan; he has a good sense of what is missing and what is needed. Pursuing a major new energy initiative to address Pakistan's economic troubles and boost support for the United States • The Reidel report mentions energy as a key sector where we should be encouraging foreign investment. 1.

Hillary Clinton Pledges to 'Banish Sexual Violence' Originally posted Friday August 21, 2009 12:30 PM EDT Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may be taking some well-earned R&R in Bermuda this week, but last week, the former First Lady and U.S. Senator wrapped up a grueling seven-nation diplomatic mission to Africa. While much was made back home about her snapping at a Congolese student who asked her about Bill Clinton's thoughts on a trade issue ("My husband is not the secretary of state, I am," she retorted), the emotional heart of her tour was also her most dangerous stop — in Goma, inside the war zone in eastern Congo, where she tearfully met rape victims on Aug. 11.In this exclusive Op-Ed piece for PEOPLE.com, Secretary Clinton shares what she learned on her visit and what she will do about it. What I Saw in Goma By Hillary Rodham Clinton In 11 days of travel across Africa, I saw humanity at its worst — and at its best. In Goma last week, I saw both. The Mugunga Internally Displaced Persons Camp sits in a land of volcanoes and great lakes on the edge of Goma, a provincial capital in the eastern Congo. The camp is now home to 18,000 people seeking refuge from a cycle of violent conflict that has left 5.4 million dead since 1998. Chased from their homes and villages by armed rebels and informal militias, these men, women and children walked for miles with little food or water until they reached this relatively safe haven. Now they live in tents, one next to the other, row after row, some clinging to life, others hanging on to whatever glimmer of hope remains in a region plagued by years of brutality. Many of these people have been robbed of their homes, possessions, families and, worst of all, their dignity. Women and girls in particular have been victimized on an unimaginable scale, as sexual and gender-based violence has become a tactic of war and has reached epidemic proportions. Some 1,100 rapes are reported each month, with an average of 36 women and girls raped every day. I visited a hospital run by the organization Heal Africa and met a woman who told me that she was eight months' pregnant when she was attacked. She was at home when a group of men broke in. They took her husband and two of their children and shot them in the front yard, before returning into the house to shoot her other two children. Then they beat and gang-raped her and left her for dead. But she wasn't dead. She fought for life and her neighbors managed to get her to the hospital — 85 kilometers away. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764944 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764944 Date: 07/31/2015 I came to Goma to send a clear message: The United States condemns these attacks and all those who commit them and abet them. They are crimes against humanity. These acts don't just harm a single individual, or a single family, or village, or group. They shred the fabric that weaves us together as human beings. Such atrocities have no place in any society. This truly is humanity at its worst. But there is reason to hope. We have seen survivors summon the courage to rebuild their lives and their communities. We have seen civic leaders and organizations come together to combat this appalling scourge. And we have seen health care workers sacrifice comfortable careers so they can treat the wounded in Goma, I met doctors and advocates who work every day to repair the broken bodies and spirits of women who have been raped, often by gangs, and often in such brutal fashion that they can no longer bear children, or walk or work. Caregivers like Lyn Lusi, who founded Heal Africa in Goma, and Dr. Denis Mukwege, who founded the Panzi hospital in Bukavu, represent humanity at its best. The United States will stand with these brave people. This week I announced more than $17 million in new funding to prevent and respond to gender and sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We will provide medical care, counseling, economic assistance and legal support. We will dedicate nearly $3 million to recruit and train police officers to protect women and girls and to investigate sexual violence. We will send technology experts to help women and front-line workers report abuse using photographs and video and share information on treatment and legal options. And we will deploy a team of civilian experts, medical personnel and military engineers to assess how we can further assist survivors of sexual violence. While I was in the DRC, I had very frank discussions about sexual violence with President Kabila. I stressed that the perpetrators of these crimes, no matter who they are, must be prosecuted and punished. This is particularly important when they are in positions of authority, including members of the Congolese military, who have been allowed to commit these crimes with impunity. Our commitment to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence did not begin with my visit to Goma, and it will not end with my departure. We are redoubling our efforts to address the fundamental cause of this violence: the fighting that goes on and on in the eastern Congo. We will be taking additional steps at the United Nations and in concert with other nations to bring an end to this conflict. There is an old Congolese proverb that says, "No matter how long the night, the day is sure to come." The day must come when the women of the eastern Congo can walk freely again, to tend their fields, play with their children and collect firewood and water without fear. They live in a region of unrivaled natural beauty and rich resources. They are strong and resilient. They could, if given the opportunity, drive economic and social progress that would make their country both peaceful and prosperous. Working together, we will banish sexual violence into the dark past, where it belongs, and help the Congolese people seize the opportunities of a new day.

We took the opportunity to discuss the nominations of Tom Shannon and Arturo Valenzuela. As you know, DeMint has been very outspoken regarding Zelaya's ouster in Honduras. With respect to Tom, it appears as though little has changed - DeMint still appears to be insisting on some amount of floor debate followed by a roll call vote on the nomination. How much time and when is still something that needs to be worked out. We've been following up on our end, but the DeMint camp has slow walked things a bit. We expect to come to some agreement when the Senate reconvenes. Arturo's nomination is in a different posture. As we approached the Senate's August recess, there appeared to be some loosening of DeMint's hold on him. After speaking with DeMint's staff, we're still hopeful that we could get Arturo confirmed by either voice vote or by unanimous consent when the Senate returns. However, Chris warned that DeMint is monitoring closely the Administration's position with regards to sanctions. He warned that if a coup determination is made and new sanctions levied, this could very well have an adverse impact on how Arturo's nomination moves forward. We wanted to alert you to this latter point because we understand a determination from L could be coming down shortly. DeMint's staffer explained that the Senator would welcome a call from either S or Deputy Steinberg, and he thought a call could go a long way to freeing up Arturo's nomination. We're preparing a call sheet for Deputy Steinberg. Thanks. Miguel E.

Counseling That Helps the Dying Live By Devin Talbott and Strobe Talbott Saturday, August 29, 2009 Many opponents of health-care reform have concentrated their fire on a provision in House legislation that would provide for government reimbursement to doctors who offer end-of-life counseling. How our society deals with those confronting death is understandably controversial. Unfortunately, the debate has degenerated into a cacophony of demagoguery and distortion, including invocations of Hitler and fear-mongering about "death panels." As a result of these attacks, a number of senators who are key to determining what bill will emerge from Congress have abandoned support for end-of-life counseling. Our family's experience this year provided a vivid perspective on the value of that service and the misguidedness of the campaign against it. Brooke Shearer -- wife, mother and grandmother -- had been fighting cancer for more than a year. She had undergone major surgery, numerous scans and biopsies, and two debilitating courses of chemotherapy. Her doctors were among the best in their fields. Their expertise did not, however, extend to the fine points of, and latest advances in, pain management. Brooke was determined to maintain the highest possible quality of her own life and that of her family for whatever time we had together. With that goal in mind, she sought advice and treatment from palliative-care specialists at Washington Home and Community Hospices. Their ingenuity and skill in adjusting her medications significantly alleviated her discomfort in her final months. Working closely with her primary physicians, the hospice staff helped Brooke anticipate the likely course of her disease in a way that allowed her to make decisions and exercise a degree of control over both her own condition and our family's adjustment to it. When her oncologist concluded that chemotherapy was not working, Brooke put herself fully into the hands of Washington Home as an outpatient. Regular house calls by hospice doctors, nurses and social workers enabled her to stay active on professional projects, spend time with friends and family, and end her life at home, which was a considerable comfort to her and to us. These, not issues of cost, were the principal considerations for our family. However, controlling the cost of health care -- especially in the last year of life -- is an important part of the current national debate. Therefore it is worth noting that Brooke's treatment in the last stages of her illness was far less expensive than it had been in the previous year. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765000 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765000 Date: 07/31/2015 It has often been said that dying can be a full-time job. That was emphatically not the case with Brooke. Until her final days, she concentrated on living -- a choice that end-of-life counseling helped make possible. Hospice care more than meets the standard of the Hippocratic oath: It not only does no harm -- it does good; it is not about hastening death but enhancing life. If counseling about hospice services and palliative care is a beneficiary of health care reform, many Americans will be as well.

Not long after, at least seven people were killed and 91 wounded, including children, when a suicide bomber struck close to the Embassy. Following the second attack, a Taliban spokesman declared that the target had been the U.S. Embassy itself. 2 In response to these and other incidents, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen conceded that the situation in Afghanistan is "serious and it is deteriorating."3 In light of this increasingly violent and uncertain environment, effective security of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul and the nearly one thousand U.S. diplomats, staff, and Afghan nationals who work there4 is paramount. Security for the Embassy is provided under a Department of State contract with ArmorGroup, North America (AGNA), which is now owned by Wackenhut Services, Inc. (Wackenhut).5 Some 450 guards and their supervisors protect the Embassy and are quartered at Camp Sullivan, a few miles from the Embassy.

This environment has resulted in chronic turnover by U.S./ex-pat guards. According to the State Department, "nearly 90% of the incumbent US/Expats left within the first six months of contract performance."7 According to POGO sources, the U.S./ex-pat guard turnover may be as high as 100 percent annually. This untenable turnover prevents the guard force from developing team cohesion, and requires constant training for new replacement recruits. The guards have come to POGO because they say they believe strongly in the mission, but are concerned that many good guards are quitting out of frustration or being fired for refusing to participate in the misconduct, and that those responsible for the misconduct are not being held accountable. After extensive interviews with eyewitnesses, and examination of documents, photographs, videos, and emails, POGO believes that the management of the contract to protect the U.S. Embassy Kabul is grossly deficient, posing a significant threat to the security of the Embassy and its personnel—and thereby to the diplomatic mission in Afghanistan. Ineffectual Oversight by the Department of State Failed management of security contractors by the Department of State is not new, and since the 2007 Iraqi Mansour Square massacre involving five Blackwater personnel, the State Department has promised repeatedly to strengthen its oversight.8 Yet, as in Iraq, the Department of State has utterly failed to properly manage another contractor, this time at the U.S. Embassy Kabul, Afghanistan. State has repeatedly warned AGNA about its performance on this security contract, but its threats have been empty. As a result, violations of the contract continue. In June 2009, an investigation by the Senate Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight revealed a pattern of ineffectual Department of State oversight of the AGNA contract.9 The Senate found, for instance, that in July 2007, State issued a "cure notice," a formal advisory that AGNA's deficiencies were endangering the performance of the contract. In the cure notice, State identified 14 performance deficiencies, including the failure of AGNA to provide an adequate number of guards, relief personnel, and armored vehicles. The contracting official stated "I consider the contract deficiencies addressed below to endanger performance of the contract to ,I0 such a degree that the security of the US Embassy in Kabul is in jeopardy.... Ex-pat is short for expatriot, a blanket designation native-English-speaking guards use to describe themselves. The term, as used by the guards, includes U.S. citizens as well as citizens from other English-speaking countries such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.

State also cited AGNA for failing to correct many of the deficiencies identified in the July 2007 cure notice, including those related to staffing and training of the guard force. State further informed AGNA that, due to the contractor's continued weaknesses and deficiencies, the Department was considering not extending the contract for another year.11 In July 2008, despite AGNA's continuing problems, State decided to extend the contract for an additional year, noting that based on satisfactory meetings with the incoming Wackenhut managers, it was "reasonable" to expect that all performance problems would be corrected by October of that year.I2 Just a month later, however, the Department of State reiterated to AGNA that it questioned the contractor's ability to provide security for the U.S. Embassy in the hostile environment of Afghanistan. Citing ongoing staffing concerns, State concluded that "AGNA needs to come quickly to terms with contract requirements especially in light of the current incidents occurring in and around Kabul and the corresponding threat environment they pose."13 By September 2008, AGNA's performance problems had grown so severe that Department of State issued a "Show Cause" letterI4 and advised that it was considering terminating the contract because the failure to provide an adequate number of guards "has negatively impacted the security posture of the Local Guard Program for the U.S. Mission to Kabul....[T]he staffing situation has further deteriorated to a level that...gravely endangers performance of guard services in a high-threat environment such as Afghanistan."15 In March 2009, the Department of State again informed AGNA that it had "grave concerns" relating to AGNA's continuing failure to provide sufficient numbers of guards. In inspections of the guard force operations, the Department of State observed that 18 guards were absent from their posts at the U.S. Embassy Kabul. In response, AGNA stated that the guards' absences were due to "supervisory personnel negligence."I6 Despite these and other past problems, senior representatives from the State Department and Wackenhut Services, Inc. offered sworn testimony at a June 2009 Senate hearing that security at the Embassy is effective, and that previously identified problems had been fully New Information about the Guard Force Contract at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, p. 2.

Despite Wackenhut Vice President Sam Brinkley's sworn Senate testimony that "...the Kabul contract has been fully-staffed since January 2009..." the truth is that chronic understaffing of the guard force continues to be a major problem.19 And evidence suggests Mr. Brinkley knew that. Around March, according to numerous participants, he was confronted by some 50 guards at Camp Sullivan who complained to him directly about a severe, ongoing guard shortage. Then, in an April 2009 memo to a State Department official, U.S. Embassy Kabul guard force Commander Werner Ilic reported that guard shortages had caused chronic sleep deprivation among his men. He described a situation in which guards habitually face 14-hourday work cycles extending for as many as eight weeks in a row, frequently alternating between day and night shifts. He concluded that "this ultimately diminishes the LGF's [Local Guard Force's] ability to provide security." (Attachment 1) The contract with the State Department specifies that guards may not be on duty for longer than 12 consecutive hours.2° Interviewees and documents reveal that short-staffing frequently results in the denial of contractually guaranteed leave and vacation, and that those who do not comply are threatened with termination or actually fired. In further contradiction of Mr. Brinkley's assurances, the Knoxville News reported on August 22 that Wackenhut has moved or is planning to deploy up to 18 guards from the nuclear weapons facilities in Tennessee to cover guard shortages in Kabul, quoting a Wackenhut spokesperson as confirming the use of the guards "to deal with personnel shortages at the embassy...."21 12 Their statements are available at the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs website: http://hsgac.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Hearings.Hearing&Hearing_ID=39448b8f-4f71-4ae3-b0903bac4e854f9a (Downloaded August 27, 2009) 18 Local Guard Services Kabul, Afghanistan, Contract No. S-AQMPD-07-00054, Section B.3 and B.4, pp. 5-19 and USASpending.gov, "Federal Contracts for Contract ID Number (PHD) : SAQMPDO7C0054, Federal Fiscal Year : 2009." http://www.usaspending.gov/fpds/fpds.php?agencyID=STATE%20Department%20of&modNumber=M019&transa ctionNumber=0&IDVAgencyID=&IDVPILD=&PIID=SAQMPD07C0054&fiscal_year=2009&fromITSearch=true (Downloaded August 27, 2009) 19 Testimony of Samuel Brinkley, Vice President, Homeland and International Security Services, Wackenhut Services, Incorporated, June 10, 2009, p. 1. 20 Local Guard Services Kabul, Afghanistan, Contract No. S-AQMPD-07-00054, Section C, C.3.1.1 (Guard Duty, Hour Limits), p. 35. 21 Frank Munger, "OR guards agree to help in Afghanistan: New posts to alleviate shortages in personnel," Knoxnews.com, August 22, 2009. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/aug/22/or-guards-agree-to-help-inafghanistan/ (Downloaded August 20, 2009) 4 1100 G Street, NW, Suite 900 .

There is a significant problem with the guards' ability to communicate with each other: most of the Gurkhas22—nearly two-thirds of the guard force—cannot adequately speak English. Although most of the Gurkha guards are serious about their jobs and perform their duties in a professional manner, the inability to speak English adequately has impaired the guard force's ability to secure the Embassy. According to a Pentagon counter-terrorism expert, tactical communications are critical to success in either preventing a gunfight or the successful execution of one should it occur, and are part of the fabric of a good military or security unit. If different languages are used, the fog of battle is significantly increased, small tactical formations do not adjust as required, and close tactical formations are likely to fail in their mission. Further, any soldier or security officer who does not know of changes in mission orders as the fight continues is more likely to respond incorrectly, unnecessarily placing them in harm's way and increasing the chances of unit fratricide. Poor tactical communications make mission failure highly probable. This is a real risk at U.S. Embassy Kabul. The language barrier between the non-Englishspeakers and English-speakers has forced both sides to use pantomime in order to convey orders or instructions and interpreters to convey facilitate radio communications. One guard described the situation as so dire that if he were to say to many of the Gurkhas, "There is a terrorist standing behind you," those Gurkhas would answer "Thank you sir, and good morning." Clearly this is an unacceptable situation, especially given that security emergencies require immediate response. The State Department has acknowledged the issue as a problem, but has not fixed it. In June 2009, State officials briefed the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight, admitting that "inadequate English language proficiency among the guard force" remains a contract deficiency.23 Supervisors Engaging in Deviant Hazing and Humiliation Guards have come to POGO with allegations and photographic evidence that some supervisors and guards are engaging in near-weekly deviant hazing and humiliation of subordinates. Witnesses report that the highest levels of AGNA management in Kabul are aware of and have personally observed—or even engaged in—these activities, but have done nothing to stop them. Indeed, management has condoned this misconduct, declining to take disciplinary action against those responsible and allowing two of the worst offending supervisors to resign and allegedly move on to work on other U.S. contracts. The lewd and deviant behavior of approximately 30 supervisors and guards has resulted in complete distrust of leadership and a breakdown of the chain of command, compromising security. Gurkhas are people from Nepal and Northern India who are best known for their history of bravery and strength in the Indian Army's Gurkha regiments and the British Army's Brigade of Gurkhas. The term "Gurkha" may also be used generically to describe guards from the region who are employed by private security contractors. There is a high degree of variability in the skills and training. 23 New Information about the Guard Force Contract at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, p. 3. 22 5 1100 G Street, NW, Suite 900.

One email from a current guard describes scenes in which guards and supervisors are "peeing on people, eating potato chips out of [buttock] cracks, vodka shots out of [buttock] cracks (there is video of that one), broken doors after drnken [sic] brawls, threats and intimidation from those leaders participating in this activity...." (Attachment 2) Photograph after photograph shows guards—including supervisors--at parties in various stages of nudity, sometimes fondling each other. These parties take place just a few yards from the housing of other supervisors. Multiple guards say this deviant hazing has created a climate of fear and coercion, with those who declined to participate often ridiculed, humiliated, demoted, or even fired. The result is an environment that is dangerous and volatile. Some guards have reported barricading themselves in their rooms for fear that those carrying out the hazing will harm them physically. Others have reported that AGNA management has begun to conduct a witch hunt to identify employees who have provided information about this atmosphere to POGO. Beyond basic decency standards, the situation at Camp Sullivan is clearly in violation of AGNA's contract with the State Department, which specifies, "Each contractor employee or subcontractor employee is expected to adhere to standards of conduct that reflect credit on themselves, their employer, and the United States Government."24 More broadly, the behavior is evidence of a complete breakdown of discipline and the chain of command among guards and their leadership, itself a significant security issue. In fact, an email from a current guard expressed concern about the impact of the supervisors' behavior on the chain of command. "I am convinced the greatest threat to the security of the Embassy is the erosion of the guard forces trust in its leadership and ultimately the [Department of State]. The failure of [the supervisors] to protect those they have been tasked to lead is unacceptable, and if not held accountable will further compromise our mission. The chain of command's failure to curtail [one supervisor's] deviant actions and to not hold him accountable for countless infractions involving alcohol has made them ineffective. This has led to threats and intimidation as the only means to accomplish the day to day operations here [at Camp Sullivan] and at the Embassy. This is 'not' a onetime incident that went unnoticed by [his] direct chain of command. These are events [that] took place over the past year and a half and were ignored by the leadership at the cost of the well being of countless guard force members. If these individuals are not held accountable for their actions it will only embolden those who remain to make the same offenses against this guard force." (Attachment 3) Alleged Victimization of Afghan Nationals An Afghan national employed as a food service worker at the guard corps' base at Camp Sullivan submitted a signed statement dated August 16, 2009, attesting that a guard force supervisor and four others entered a dining facility on August 1, 2009, wearing only short underwear and brandishing bottles of alcohol. Upon leaving the facility, the guard force supervisor allegedly grabbed the Afghan national by the face and began abusing him with foul language, saying, "You are very good for fXXXing." The Afghan national reported that he "was too afraid of them I could not tell them any thing."

For example, photographs show guards posing with Afghan nationals at the U.S. facility at Camp Sullivan as both the guards and nationals consume alcoholic beverages in scenes that suggest drunkenness, and one photo shows a near-naked U.S. guard who appears to have urinated on himself and splashed an Afghan national. Afghanistan is a conservative Muslim country where alcohol consumption and public nudity are considered offensive and, in some instances, prohibited by law.25 Supervisors Compromising Security? Numerous guards raised concerns to POGO about a Spring 2009 extended reconnaissance mission outside the Embassy perimeter for which guard force supervisors took weapons, night vision goggles, and other equipment from Embassy stores. Photographs posted on the internet show Embassy guards hiding in abandoned buildings in Kabul, armed, dressed as Afghans (despite contractual requirements that they be in uniform when on duty), engaged in a mission for which they had never trained. AGNA guards train for their mission of static security of the Embassy, not for reconnaissance exercises away from the Embassy. This incident created the danger that guards could have been drawn into a military incident with or taken hostage by Taliban or Afghan locals, and created a vulnerability at the Embassy by removing military equipment, leaving the Embassy largely night-blind. AGNA management awarded a commendation to 18 participants trumpeting their "Intrepidity" in a document improperly bearing the seal of the Department of State. (Attachment 5) According to many guards, another situation in which Embassy security may have been compromised is when, on at least one occasion, supervisors brought prostitutes in to Camp Sullivan. This is a breach of security and discipline made worse because the prostitutes were escorted to the facility by some guard force supervisors themselves. Some interviewees recalled that two AGNA guard force supervisors made no secret that, to celebrate a birthday, they . brought prostitutes into Camp Sullivan, which maintains a sign-in log. Women believed to be prostitutes were observed attending the birthday party. Is Protecting a U.S. Embassy in a Combat Zone an Inherently Governmental Function? Because the diplomatic mission in Afghanistan is so critical, and because that mission is in a combat zone, the need for effective Embassy security is particularly acute. Just this year at the U.S. Naval Academy 2009 McCain Conference, there was a seminar on "Ethics and Military Contractors: Examining the Public-Private Partnership" which looked at the question of whether security in a combat zone is an inherently governmental function. According to the Executive Summary of the conference, "contractors should not be deployed as security guards, sentries, or even prison guards within combat areas. [Armed Private Security Contractors] should be restricted to appropriate support functions and those geographic areas where the rule of law prevails. In irregular warfare...environments, where civilian cooperation is crucial, this Rhoda Margesson, "Afghan Refugees: Current Status and Future Prospects," January 26, 2007, p. 7. http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/80250.pdf (Downloaded August 27, 2009) and Islamic.World.Net, "5 Pillars of Islam." http://www.islamic-world.net/children/muslimfacts/5pillars.htm (Downloaded September 1, 2009) 25 7 1100 G Street, NW, Suite 900.

At the very least, this is a question that needs to be examined regarding the protection of the U.S. Embassy Kabul and other embassies in combat zones. The use of private contractors for security in a combat zone poses several dilemmas. One is the inherent tension between the effective performance of a mission and the financial interests of the contractor. Cutting costs is good for the bottom line, but can put security at risk. A legal case against AGNA brought by two former U.S. Embassy Kabul guard force supervisors, James Sauer and Peter Martino, illustrates this problem. According to the complaint, AGNA officials "acknowledged that AGNA had underbid the contract in order to secure it," and told Sauer and Martino "to 'make do' and put a 'good face' on the situation to ensure that a profit would be made on the contract and that shareholders would be satisfied....Defendants implemented plans requiring more hours per individual and fewer shifts of staff in order to cut costs and maximize Defendants' profit margin."29 This is a clear example of the contractor endangering the U.S. diplomatic mission in order to advance its bottom line. Another dilemma is the threat of work-stoppages—which, according to witnesses, has happened at least twice with the U.S. Embassy Kabul guard force. On two separate occasions, the Gurkhas (who make up two-thirds of the guard force) threatened to walk off the job. In fact, in one instance, buses had arrived in order to take the Gurkhas to the airport to return to Nepal. According to POGO sources, the time it took to resolve just one of those incidents resulted in the on-duty guard shift pulling an 18-hour day. Yet another dilemma is that the laws in place do not adequately hold accountable contractors who violate rules and endanger security in combat zones. Unlike the military, which once had the responsibility of guarding embassies and which is bound by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, private employers such as security firms cannot ensure a binding chain of command that provides adequate discipline and professionalism in the guard force.

For example, to cut costs, AGNA "downgrade[d] the quality of the vehicles to be purchased...." 3° AGNA sought to maximize its profit by sacrificing the quality of protective vehicles it bought to secure the Embassy. In addition, as mentioned earlier, the State Department has repeatedly chastised AGNA for the contractor's repeated failures to fulfill staffing, language, and other contract provisions. AGNA has also failed to properly manage Camp Sullivan, as has been detailed above. The problems with AGNA's U.S. Embassy Kabul security contract do not appear to be unique for this contractor. Recently, an ArmorGroup security guard in Baghdad's Green Zone allegedly shot and killed two fellow guards and wounded at least one Iraqi. Extraordinarily, that guard had a criminal record and was described by one security guard who worked with him as "a walking time-bomb," yet was hired by ArmorGroup anyway. I This particular incident raises serious concerns about ArmorGroup's vetting process, and adds to the bigger picture of a contractor in serious need of strict oversight. Recommendations 1.After two years of failed attempts by the Department of State to upgrade the performance of its private security contractors in both Afghanistan and Iraq, the Department should enter into an arrangement with Defense Secretary Gates to provide immediate military supervision of the private security force at the U.S. embassies in Kabul and Baghdad. 2. The State Department should promptly initiate a thorough and independent investigation of the U.S. Embassy Kabul security contract in order to hold corporations as well as individuals accountable for the above noted misconduct and contract violations. Simply removing a few people from contract management at AGNA or Wackenhut, or creating a new corporate ethics compliance officer, is not going to ensure serious accountability. Allowing those responsible to quietly resign and seek work with other U.S. contractors, as guard force whistleblowers report is happening now, will only perpetuate this problem. 3. State Department representatives either knew or should have known about this longstanding and dangerous situation regarding U.S. Embassy Kabul security. The State Department's repeated warnings to AGNA were of no consequence, and Department officials responsible for oversight of this contract themselves should be held accountable. 3° Sauer v.

Those whistleblowers who have come forward to disclose the mismanagement of this State Department contract should be protected from retaliation for doing so. 5. The State Department should consider whether the security of an embassy in a combat zone is an inherently governmental function, and therefore not subject to contracting out. The language in the 2009 National Defense Authorization Act could be strengthened to prohibit the reliance on private security contractors for inherently governmental functions, and to include protection of the diplomatic mission in a combat zone as being inherently governmental. If embassy security in combat zones is determined not to be an inherently governmental function, the State Department should consider requiring military supervision of its private security contractors guarding U.S. embassies in combat zones. 6. The State Department should consider initiating suspension and debarment proceedings against the companies ArmorGroup North America, Inc. (AGNA) and Wackenhut Services, Inc., as well as against any individual employees of these companies who were responsible for contract-related improprieties or abuses, to prevent these entities from entering into future contracts with the federal government.

A: DynCorp is under contract to begin the Worldwide Personal Protective Services (WPPS) II Task Order 15 for aviation services in Iraq on September 4. The State Department has arranged for a temporary extension of the transition between U.S. Training Center (formerly Blackwater) and DynCorp. Q. Why is this extension necessary? A. The deployment of an aviation program in Iraq is a complex challenge -- a slower transition to DynCorp taking over the task order is in the best interest of the government. Q. Has the Government of Iraq been informed of this action? A. Yes Q: Has the Iraqi Government approved of this action? A: The government of Iraq has been informed that additional time is needed to allow us to finish the transition from U.S. Training Center to DynCorp's aviation program. 1 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764297 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764297 Date: 07/31/2015 Q: If DynCorp is not ready to take over the task order on September 4, doesn't that mean they have defaulted on the contract? What kind of penalties are being assessed on Dyncorp for their failure to perform on time? A: The government has a variety of options at its disposal to ensure that the government and the taxpayers are protected. Q: Will the current task order be extended? A: Yes, we have unilaterally extended the current task order with U.S. Training Center to ensure the continued security and safety of U.S. personnel in Iraq. Q: What are these aircraft used for? A: The aircraft used in the Embassy's aviation operations facilitate the continued security and safety of U.S. personnel in Iraq. Q: How long will this extension remain in effect? A: This is a limited extension meant to facilitate the completion of the transition.

Berman -- Honduras: Make it official -- it's a coup From: Diekman, Lauren M Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 3:35 AM To: SES-O_Shift-I; SES-O_SWO Cc: NEWS-Mahogany; NEWS-H; Task Force Honduras; NEWS-WHA Subject: LA Times Op-Ed by Rep. Berman -- Honduras: Make it official -- it's a coup latimes.com Opinion Honduras: Make it official -- it's a coup A formal finding would trigger a suspension of U.S. aid. By Howard L. Berman September 3, 2009 Official Washington is waiting for the State Department to determine if this summer's events in Honduras constitute a coup. Actions may speak louder than words, but in this case, one word alone could affect the course of democracy in the Western Hemisphere. U.S. law requires that foreign assistance, with the exception of humanitarian and democracy-related aid, be suspended for "the government of any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup or decree." A formal determination by the State Department would trigger this suspension, whereas previous uses of the word "coup" by U.S. authorities have not. The matter will be on many minds today as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton meets with ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a "coup d'etat" as "a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics; especially: the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group." So far, the United States has taken a measured approach to this matter, allowing negotiations between Latin American leaders and the de facto Honduran government to run their course. But our patience is not without end, and President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton, the U.N. General Assembly and the Organization of American States have already put the label to good use. In late June, amid a constitutional impasse with his country's supreme court and military, Zelaya was taken from his home by soldiers, bundled aboard a plane in his pajamas and flown out of the country. Since then, even in the face of united hemispheric and world condemnation of the coup, a de facto government led by the former head of the Honduran Congress, Roberto Micheletti, has dug in its heels. 40 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764360 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764360 Date: 07/31/2015 This one looks, walks and quacks like a duck. It's time to stop hedging and call this bird what it is. And if, for whatever reason, the State Department lawyers do not conclude that this was a coup, Congress should examine other ways by which it can directly affect the flow of aid. Cutting off assistance is a blunt instrument, one that should not be wielded lightly. It can affect livelihoods and families and industries, in addition to targeting those at the top. But Honduras will hold presidential and parliamentary elections Nov. 29, and every passing day gives Micheletti and his associates the chance to tighten their illegitimate hold on the reins of power. In negotiations, they have done little more than stall, hoping that the matter of the coup will become moot as elections near. They refuse to participate in a regional agreement brokered under Costa Rican President Oscar Arias and the OAS to restore Zelaya so that he can serve the remainder of his term, even with strict conditions on his exercise of power under international monitoring. All the while, conditions in Honduras are coming to resemble what we saw in this region in the 1970s, especially for those who are known to have voted for Zelaya. In August, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, an autonomous and respected regional human rights monitor, found in Honduras today "the existence of a pattern of disproportionate use of public force, arbitrary detentions and the control of information aimed at limiting political participation by a sector of the citizenry [and] ... the use of repression against demonstrations ... the arbitrary enforcement of curfews; the detentions of thousands of people; cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment; and poor detention conditions." The de facto government claims that Zelaya was trying to subvert the Honduran Constitution and convert the country into a satellite of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. That may be. But having soldiers take Zelaya out of the country at gunpoint is an insult to decades of Latin America's hard-won, historic struggle with democracy. No matter what we think of Zelaya (and I don't think highly of him) and his actions to change the Honduran Constitution, it is a fact that his mandate to govern was gained in a fully transparent election. Democracy and the rule of law are not so fully established in this hemisphere that the coup can be treated in isolation and as an exception that is allowed to stand. The longer it takes to right this wrong, the less legitimate the November elections will be, and the climb out of this hole will be all the steeper for the entire region. We should wield our influence by withdrawing all but the most necessary assistance, an action that would be in keeping with those of 34 countries in the Western Hemisphere that want to see democracy restored to Honduras.

This effort builds upon Corrales meetings last week with the pro-Zelaya Honduran permrep at the UN. Pressed upon whether this was serious or simply a de facto effort to buy time and avoid further U.S. pressure, Corrales insisted that there was a real chance for a deal as early as Thursday. Caveat: We have encouraged Corrales to keep at it and stay in touch with us, but we have heard about similar soundings in the past that later went awry, so a healthy dose of skepticism is in order. The Secretary can sound out Zelaya about this tomorrow as she urges him to get serious about reaching a deal. ck 44 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764395 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764398 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Thursday, September 03, 2009 11:13 AM Oscar Flores; H2 RE: Yoga Hrc is going to be in dc tomorrow.

Will check on that in the AM. Background DOS competitively awarded Armor Group, North America, Inc. (AGNA) a contract to provide static protection for Embassy Kabul in March 2007. An Office of Acquisition Management (AQM) Contracting Officer (CO) and two DS Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) assigned in Washington have overall contract oversight responsibility and participate in weekly meetings between the DS program office and AGNA management. Two Assistant Regional Security Officers are designated as the COR and Assistant COR. Allegations of misconduct and inappropriate actions by AGNA first raised in June 2007, with multiple notices of deficiency filed through September 2008. In May 2009, DOS determined that AGNA had adequately addressed the deficiencies and was contract compliant. DOS exercised the next option year of AGNA's contract on July 1, 2009. In May 2009, the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight (Senators McCaskill and Collins submitted requests for information on the allegations of misconduct in 2007 and 2008. Hearings were held on June 10, 2009. On September 1, 2009, photos were released of questionable activity at Camp Sullivan, the residence for AGNA's guards in Kabul, and the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) sent a letter the Secretary encouraging investigation into the allegations of misconduct in 2008 and 2009. Current State Status of investigations: As of September 3, the RSO investigative team in Kabul has conducted more than 30 interviews of personnel who may have firsthand knowledge of the incident(s). Information obtained from the interviews points to contractual deficiencies, with no indications of criminal activity, waste, fraud or abuse. • A team of investigators from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) arrived in Kabul on September 3 to pursue their investigation into possible criminal violations. • A senior DS team will arrive next week, including an additional OIG investigator. • Actions to date: UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764408 Date: 07/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764408 Date: 07/31/2015 • AGNA relieved from duty the personnel involved in the photographs. They will be terminated as soon as RSO interviews are completed. • The entire AGNA management team in Kabul will be removed from the contract as soon as replacements are identified. The replacement of the management team will be phased so as to not jeopardize the security of the embassy. In the interim, an A/RSO is assigned full-time to Camp Sullivan to monitor all contractor activities. Chronology of Events May 2004 M The military ceased providing static protection for Embassy Kabul, creating a need for contracted security services. DOS first contracted with PAE, Louis Berger, as an interim measure ahead of full and open competition. July 2005 M Contract awarded to MVM. MVM began the transition, but was unable to begin contract performance and was terminated. The PAE Louise Berger contract remained in place during this time. April 2006 M DOS issued a new contract solicitation. 2007 March 12 M DOS competitively awarded Armor Group, North America, Inc. (AGNA). An Office of Acquisition Management (AQM) Contracting Officer (CO) and two DS Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs) assigned in Washington have overall contract oversight June M DOS received information that indicated misconduct and inappropriate actions by AGNA to include failure to staff positions, provide uniforms, vehicles and other contractor provided equipment. June 26 M Meeting held with AGNA to convey the Department's concern and request that issued be addressed immediately. Responses received from AGNA on June 27 and July 16. July 19 M DOS CO issued a Cure Notice to address several contractor weaknesses and deficiencies, including a failure to provide sufficient staffing and equipment. Over the course of the contract, other deficiencies were identified and addressed with the contractor, including failure to maintain a current ITAR license, failure to provide sufficient language-qualified guards, and continued staffing and equipment shortages. April 30 M DOS CO issued a final deficiency letter to AGNA, putting the contractor on notice for recurring and new deficiencies identified by the COR. AGNA was informed that the DOS was evaluating whether or not to exercise the option to extend the contract in 2009, dependent upon the contractor's ability to fully demonstrate that it could permanently resolve the deficiencies. The letter requested a final corrective action plan that entailed a measurable, attainable milestone schedule to enable DOS to monitor progress weekly. Sept 21 M DOS CO issued a Show Cause notice to AGNA, necessitated by repeated staffing shortages. Show Cause notice was evaluated by DS, Legal and AQM, with final determination that all pending deficiencies were correctable and progress was being made by the contractor. Progress toward addressing the identified deficiencies was closely monitored by the CO, DS and RSO-Kabul. 2008 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764408 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764408 Date: 07/31/2015 2009 May 19 H Request from Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight (HSGAC) (Chairman McCaskill and Acting Ranking Member Collins) for documents and materials on AGNA's static security services contract in Kabul.

He liked our idea of diplomatic outreach and I assured him that San Jose would be a top destination for us. He also strongly endorsed our plan to go to Brussels, Madrid and the Vatican. He himself has spoken frequently with the Spanish to get them to press for EU action similar to ours. Finally, Arias was very pleased that Hugo plans to call in the candidates to get them to go to Micheletti and say that an election outside the San Jose process is of dubious legitimacy. I told Arias that the Secretary is very strong in her commitment to the San Jose process and Arias asked that I give her his warm regards. ck 62 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764412 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764434 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Verveer, Melanne S Friday, September 04, 2009 2:55 PM H Swanee We were judging the candidates for the Swanee Hunt Award which goes annually to a FS0 and a FSN judged superior for integrating women's issues into their work.

As you know, if Senator Reid was able/willing to schedule time on the Senate floor there still remains a significant obstacle. While the FY10 Bill had broad bipartisan support prior to markup, it now includes a controversial Lautenberg amendment that would reverse the Mexico City policy statutorily. With Lautenberg's amendment in the Bill, procedural hurdles are almost certain to lengthen and slow down floor action. It is possible that an agreement could be reached to bring up the Bill and structure votes so that the Republicans could offer amendments including one to strike Lautenberg's language. Should you agree to ask the Secretary to make such a call I would imagine she would want to get views from Jack Lew, Pat Kennedy, Rich Greene, and Rich Verma, first. Here are some points to consider for such a possible call: • Timely enactment of the FY 10 State/Foreign Ops appropriation is critical to national security. • Operating under a Continuing Resolution for any extended period of time will negatively impact both State operations and foreign assistance programs. • For example, the funds available to support State operations in Iraq are estimated to last only through the first quarter of FY 2010. In addition our urgent hiring plans will be stifled, pay equity authorities will lapse, and we will be without the necessary resources to implement our agenda on food security, climate change, and global health. • I urge you to take up the FY 10 State/Foreign Ops bill as early as possible in September.

State Department investigators have been conducting thorough, respectful interviews and are not asking guards if they shared information with POGO.

What the Embassy today did was quite effective maintaining the initiative and outlining decisive actions taken. We need to continue this trend, forcing POGO to react to what we are doing rather than the other way around. The Embassy statement does include removal of supervisors. I wonder from a contracting and legal standpoint how to react if asked to POGO's suggestion that supervisors are not allowed to work for another contractor. While people have a right to work, I believe we get to review a contractor's management team and instruct them on who is acceptable or not, right? I don't necessarily buy into POGO's Nuremberg defense, that people are exonerated because they were forced to debase themselves. But I see the release below as good news, that we have established momentum on the issue.

The company told POGO that the whistleblower's resignation was voluntary. However, information obtained by the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) strongly suggests he was pressured into resigning to avoid being fired, an action often referred to as constructive dismissal. POGO is deeply concerned about the action allegedly taken against the whistleblower. He is being forced out at a time 77 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764453 Date: 07/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764453 Date: 07/31/2015 when three of the supervisors responsible for allowing the misconduct at Camp Sullivan have been allowed to quietly resign and escape accountability.

As you know, if Senator Reid was able/willing to schedule time on the Senate floor there still remains a significant obstacle. While the FY10 Bill had broad bipartisan support prior to markup, it now includes a controversial Lautenberg amendment that would reverse the Mexico City policy statutorily. With Lautenberg's amendment in the Bill, procedural hurdles are almost certain to lengthen and slow down floor action. It is possible that an agreement could be reached to bring up the Bill and structure votes so that the Republicans could offer amendments including one to strike Lautenberg's language. Should you agree to ask the Secretary to make such a call I would imagine she would want to get views from Jack Lew, Pat Kennedy, Rich Greene, and Rich Verma, first. 103 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764598 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764598 Date: 07/31/2015 Here are some points to consider for such a possible call: Timely enactment of the FY 10 State/Foreign Ops appropriation is critical to national security. Operating under a Continuing Resolution for any extended period of time will negatively impact both State operations and foreign assistance programs. For example, the funds available to support State operations in Iraq are estimated to last only through the first • quarter of FY 2010. In addition our urgent hiring plans will be stifled, pay equity authorities will lapse, and we will be without the necessary resources to implement our agenda on food security, climate change, and global health. I urge you to take up the FY 10 State/Foreign Ops bill as early as possible in September. Background Mexico City Policy: The inclusion during markup of the Lautenberg amendment in the Senate bill codifies a ban on future adoption of the Mexico City Policy. This controversial issue will slow down consideration of the Bill, as the Minority will use parliamentary maneuvers to block timely debate and final passage. Mike AMBASSADOR MICHAEL C.

Its a few ny notes from chris falvo before the school event: TO: Secretary Clinton FROM: Chris Falvo DATE: September 8, 2009 RE: NY Local Issues Schools - NYC public schools open on Wednesday, September 9th. As a result, you will be visiting a charter school that opened a couple of weeks ago instead of a public school. Mike Mulgrew, who took over as President of the UFT when Randi left for AFT, will be present at the event and should be acknowledged in your remarks. His aides who you have met numerous times, Dick Riley and Bridget Rein, will also be present. Mike appointed Dick as his press secretary last month. H1N1 - Mayor Bloomberg did a rollout earlier this week on NYC's plans to handle this health concern, and a significant portion discusses schools. Unlike what was done in the Spring, this time closing schools will be a last resort. Reason is that they found kids still contaminate each other by going to movies and playgrounds when the schools are closed, so instead they are asking sick kids to stay home. And if four percent of a student body experiences the flu on a single day, a doctor will visit to monitor the situation. Every student in a NYC school will be offered free H1N1 flu shots or mist once a vaccine is available. Primary day - September 15th is primary day. In addition to Bill Thompson for Mayor, the primary races that have been closely followed are Public Advocate and City Comptroller. Running for Public Advocate are Councilmember Eric Gioia, Councilmember Bill DeBlasio, former Public Advocate Mark Green, and civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel. Running for Comptroller are four Councilmembers: John Lui, Melinda Katz, David Yassky, and David Weprin. Rangel - As of last week House Speaker Pelosi plans to allow Rep. Rangel to keep his chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee despite his ethics problems. According to amended forms recently filed with the House, Rangel failed to disclose at least $800,000 in assets and income since 2002. This comes amid a House ethics investigation into his failure to report income from and pay taxes on a villa in the Dominican Republic and his ties to a real-estate developer who leased him four rent-stabilized apartments in New York. The panel is also looking into Rangel's fundraising and whether he improperly used his office to raise money for a public policy center in his name at the City University of New York. Rangel has denied any wrongdoing and says its accounting mistakes and simple oversights. The NY Post and Buffalo News have called for his resignation. Speaking at a health-care forum in Washington Heights last Tuesday, Rangel said that bias and prejudice toward Obama are fueling opposition to health-care reform. "Some Americans have not gotten over the fact that Obama is president of the United States. They go to sleep wondering, 'How did this happen?' " Rangel said. Rangel then likened the battle over health-care expansion for the uninsured to the fight for civil rights. "Why do we have to wait for the right to vote? Why can't we get what God has given us? That is the right to live as human beings and not negotiate with white southerners and not count the votes. Just do the right thing," he said. After the forum, Rangel insisted he was not smearing opponents as racists. "What I'm saying is, if you watch the town-hall meetings, people were angry and did not care what the answer was to some of their questions. They were angry with their member of Congress, period," he said. Rangel's comments came less than two weeks after Governor Paterson claimed he has been the victim of a racist white media -- and also suggested that opposition to Obama's plan is racially driven. The White House disagreed with Paterson's comments. 120 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764653 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764653 Date: 07/31/2015 Little League World Series - Staten Island's little league team, the South Shore Nationals, made it to the Little League World Series, but they lost the title two weeks ago with a 4-1 loss to the Southwest Regional Champs, McAllister Park American, from San Antonio. 9/11 - Jay Winuk, founder of the My Good Deed organization, and brother of 9/11 victim, Glenn Winuk, notified us that DOJ has finally award his brother the 9/11 Heroes Medal of Valor.

Will send PIR comments shortly. To: CDM Fr: Caitlin Re: Branch Book Overview: There are few surprises in this book. The "surprises" that might exist are buried and took a close reading to pick up on—the two main ones are about the terror clause of WJC's crime bill and why he hadn't disclosed information about Lewinsky (because he hadn't wanted to become a witness against her). There are a lot of things that have been covered in My Life and other publications. Quite honestly the book was pretty boring and much more focused on Branch than I had anticipated. While not as "and this day, and the next day" as My Life, it does share many of the same elements that would engage only a true Clinton fanatic or historian. The fact that there appears to be no index also makes it difficult for anyone looking for a quick hit to get one. Furthermore, WJC's words are so interlaced with Branch's recollection through his dictations, that the number of direct WJC quotes was far fewer than I had expected. HRC was not as much of a player as one might imagine. Her role is largely seen through her interactions with Branch when he is recording WJC. Her statements were consistent with the past, with the exception of the Gephardt comment, and didn't grab much attention at all.Ell (Others included HRC's devotion to CVC, thought that there should not be a special prosecutor and images of her returning from meetings. They were pretty much aligned with her interactions with Branch.) Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, many of the problems discussed in the book are those, which face the current Administration—Middle East peace, North Korea, China, etc... Branch repeatedly injects his feelings on specific subjects and seems to use the book to voice his own opinion of the Administration and events of the time. He clearly has topics he prefers over others (for example his connection with the events in Haiti result in a lot of discussion about it), but there are some subjects that are strikingly sparsely discussed such as Rwanda. Its absence from long discussions was surprising, but it did not appear as thought WJC ever-dodged questions about the topic, they just weren't addressed. Much like My Life, one theme that repeated itself was WJC's conflict with and disdain for the media, especially long passages about NYT and Washington Post. There are a few instances where gives them credit on their reporting, but you would be hard-pressed to find them. Additionally, there are numerous mentions of WJC's acute allergies and his chronic fatigue, with imagery of him falling asleep in sessions on more than a couple occasions. The book has quite a bit on Whitewater, but given the dearth of public documentation there is little that Branch could write that hadn't been said. One thing I had not recalled was the D'Amato's subpoena of CVC's friends, later quashed, who slept over while HRC's Rose Law Firm records were in the White House. Branch does portray a helpful distinction in how WJC looked at Whitewater and other scandals. While WJC attacks Whitewater as a political hunt, Branch does have him WJC saying that Filegate needed to be separated from Whitewater, because this was a legitimate inquiry. There are some quips that could catch someone's eye, such as WJC referring to Paula Jones as "a 'new bimbo' he [WJC] didn't even recognize." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 Branch does not dwell on Lewinsky or the impeachment. With the exception of Bruce, Bennett and Kendall, no other lawyers are mentioned. There is one passage that I am looking into, in which WJC says part of the reason he didn't mention his relationship with Lewinsky at first was because she was being threatened with jail time if she was found to be lying under oath and had he told the truth he could become a witness against her. This is a very small passage that could easily be missed, but one that it is important to note as I don't recall hearing this before. (This is addressed more fully below.) There are a few relationships that track through the book more than others. They include WJC's relationship with Gore, which maps in part because it is not a focal point until the end, and his contentious relationship with Janet Reno. The one Senator that appears to be most discussed negatively is Moynihan. All three of these issues are discussed in turn below. WJC is portrayed as an extremely loving and attentive father and HRC is portrayed in a much more human light than other books/articles covering this time period, with ample mention of her relationship with CVC and images of affection between her and WJC, both pre- and post-impeachment. On foreign relations there is a lot of time spent discussing the Middle East, Northern Ireland, the Balkans, China, Russia, Pakistan/India and in the beginning of the book, Haiti. (Note: Much of what is written about Haiti is about Branch's own experience there and on the subject.) There is also a fair amount of discussion about North Korea, but nothing that has not been discussed in the past few weeks. Bin Laden is discussed in what seems to track mention of him in My Life, which seems to have more detail and background than this book. In certain cases there is more detail here than in My Life, for example on his trip to Pakistan WJC wrote that the USSS cancelled one stop because they would be "defenseless" flying in, whereas Brach writes that the streets would be lined with "assassins." There are candid looks at WJC's take on certain people and the relationship between some, such as Albright and Berger's dislike of Holbrooke, and a more detailed depiction of Yeltsin's drinking, such as yelling outside of Blair House for a cab to get pizza. One thing to note, is that often times WJC seems to be speaking to Branch intentionally without the recorders going, but Branch writes about those interactions and exchanges nonetheless. Such is the case with HRC's Gephardt comment. The following items are addressed in the memo: Wen Ho Lee and Terror Clause of Crime Bill 4 4 WJC and Lewinsky's Silence 4 HRC and Kissinger 5 HRC and gay/lesbian 5 Tension with Moynihan 5 HRC as World Player Jesse Jackson 6 Tension with Janet Reno 6 Portrayal of Carter 7 8 Relationship with Gore Other (This includes: Maggie recommending Panetta, HRC and Haiti Invasion, ITAV co-author flap, Subpoenas of CVC's Friends, Vernon Jordan on Extramarital Sex, Gore/HRC ticket, WJC suggesting Rubin run for Senate, Trip to South Asia) 11 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 Wen Ho Lee and Terror Clause of Crime Bill In discussing Wen Ho Lee's release Branch characterizes WJC's lack of knowledge about the strained interpretation of the anti-terrorist provisions in the crime bill and arbitrary detentions as a "confession." My Life only mentions Lee's accusation in passing and does not again discuss Lee. Below are two passages from Branch's book the first giving context and the second about the Terror Clause of the Crime Bill. ➢ The year closed on spies and terrorism. The Justice Department, after fierce debate among the security agencies, indicted nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee on fifty-nine counts of copying classified material to his personal computer. Lee was being handled like a radioactive espionage defendant—no bail, lockdown, solitary confinement—even though the long dragnet had produced no evidence that he offered secrets to China or anyone else. The president said experts were telling him the worst spies sometimes stored their treason for a rainy day. This sounded fishy to me. Clinton shrugged. Nothing would please him more than to establish Lee's innocence. [Branch, 577] ➢ While Lee was indicted, Branch writes that WJC noted that others "were being held in secret, uncharged and untried...He [WJC] was embarrassed not to have sponsored this measure into law without foreseeing such arbitrary detentions...Under the terrorist act, any prosecutor should decide within the legal limit...whether to bring charges on the testimony of a secret informant or otherwise. To his dismay, Clinton had learned of defendants held incommunicado for more than six months. One extreme detention had last three years. 'I think it's wrong,' he [WJC] said. 'It's not American. We accept guilty people on the street to enjoy and protect our freedom.' [Branch, 629] WJC and Lewinsky's Silence Branch writes that part of WJC's motive for not discussing what had happened with Lewinsky was that it could send her to jail, as she had denied it. ➢ "Also, he pointed out that Starr had been threatening to jail Lewinsky all year over her sworn denial of the affair. If Clinton had come forward with anything at all about their relationship, he said Starr could have turned him into a witness against Lewinsky, betraying her discreet silence. Such subtleties, while original, struck me as tendentious. The president never claimed chivalry as the real motive for his steadfast denial, nor did he dispute the essential truth of Lewinsky's account." [Branch, 511] HRC and Kissinger The following could be fodder for people who want to continue to string along the notion of channeling Eleanor Roosevelt. ➢ There is a passage in which HRC describes an exchange she had with Kissinger at a dinner where he complained that if the health care bill passed he wouldn't be able to see his own doctor. She continued to say "it was interesting, in fact, that she had dreamed about Kissinger only a few nights before. His visage turned suddenly effervescent at a banquet, announcing gladly that his worries were over because the Clinton health care bill was dying. 'Oh, no, Dr. Kissinger,' she replied coolly. 'Don't be sure that it's dead. We'll keep fighting, and there's always light at the end of the tunnel.' She said Kissing blanched, speechless at her deft reminder of the Vietnam War...Now at last, in Hillary's dream, it registered that his strategic designs had spewed carnage and venom for seven needless years...'That's what I dreamed,' Hillary repeated, lost in thought. 'You know, I always get my revenge in dreams, but never in real life.' [Branch, 179] HRC and gay/lesbian UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 Writing about a call with HRC from NYS, Branch recalls how WJC's counsel got very "exercised." WJC left the room. "He was subdued on his return. 'You know, I've had a lot more contact with gay people in my life than Hillary.' He sighed. Her temperament had a conservative, religious core, formed before homosexual issues were even mentionable. New York politics was a tough crucible, and she was unsure what heat she could take. On the other hand, personal experience could speed adaptation." [Branch, 551] Tension with Moynihan There are several occasions throughout the book that Branch recalls WJC's grievances and frustration with Moynihan. For example: > When Moynihan called for the international arms embargo to be unilaterally lifted so that Bosnia could fight for themselves, Branch writes, "The president flinched when I mentioned [it]...'That's just a freebie for him,' snapped Clinton, 'and he knows it.'" [p.140] > In regard to health care: "Echoing comments by Hillary at dinner, he [WJC] faulted Senator Moynihan for aimless hearings conducted without a strategy or theme." [p.170] ➢ Discussing Independent Counsel: "She [HRC] was especially scornful of the Democrats, and quoted a number of them. Senator Moynihan, for instance, publicly said the Clintons were nice people and he was sure they had nothing to hide. 'Why not have an investigation?' he often asked. She said Moynihan skated blithely on the surface, never produced results in Congress, and could not withstand such scrutiny himself for five minutes, living in an apartment secured through his chairmanship of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation." [Brach, 182] ➢ "Donnybrook" argument in which Moynihan said of a fundraising speech WJC gave citing a regretted hypothetical about a controversial decision. Moynihan told the press, "He doesn't understand...that he's conceding the principles." WJC confronted him about lack of context given to the statement to the press and said that Moynihan knew what he was doing by "feeding the beast of hostile presumption about Clinton's motives." [Branch, 299] HRC as World Player There are several images as HRC as a player on the world stage, both with WJC and on her own. Several examples follow: ➢ Middle East: Discussing peace with King Hussein: "They had retreated for lunch as two couples—the Clintons, with the king and his wife, Queen Noor—in the family dining room... Their agenda was a delicate race between Hussein's failing health and his desire to make peace with Israel. The president said he and Hillary pounded away on symptoms of national estrangement: closed boarders, water disputes, travel barriers, war grievances, contested airspace, sealed electrical grids, and so on. Hussein gave them a feast of goodwill without commitment on any point." [Branch, 170] > South Asia: Regarding her trip to South Asia with CVC in 1995, "Her [HRC's] schedule was far more demanding than ceremonial, pushing both conflict resolution and civic empowerment for downtrodden women." [Branch, 236] Later Branch tells of Benazir Bhutto praising CVC and HRC. "By contrast with a superficial American press, which portrayed Hillary as a demure tourist of no policy significance in exotic Asia, Bhutto said she had touched essential political chords with whirlwind encouragements for citizenship groups and small-scale economic development." (The note contrasting Bhutto corresponds to a NYT article which Branch quotes in the footer saying, "she [HRC] played the traditional role of First Lady as wife and mother...") [Branch, 246] UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 > China Speech: Branch outlines how HRC felt the speech needed to be bigger than China and how she depicted the "harsh reality everywhere" from China to Africa. He then cites WJC commenting on the rave reviews of HRC's speech. [Branch, 289] ➢ Regarding the Russian financial system meltdown, Branch writes "Yeltsin seemed so removed from urgent political tasks that both Clintons counseled him directly." [Branch, 512-513] Jesse Jackson Branch writes about Jesse Jackson calling CVC after the Lewinsky story broke and having continued contact with her throughout the period. WJC thanks him for his support of CVC. This goes into some detail about WJCs gratitude, but the fact that Jackson "counseled" CVC has been public knowledge dating back to at least 1999. ➢ "But now Jesse had done something he would not forget. When the Lewinsky news broke, he called Chelsea at Stanford. Jesse was the only nonfamily adult with her cell phone number. How he got it was another story. Jesse said he knew this was terrible for her. Nothing like it had ever happened in American politics. He did not know everything involved, but he wanted to remind Chelsea how much her parents loved her. Their family needed to stick together now above all, and if she needed to counsel, rage, or pray, he was always available." [Branch, 497] Tension with Janet Reno Throughout the book, from his nomination of her, WJC is portrayed as having no opinion to having a negative opinion of Janet Reno. > "He complained about Janet Reno—made it clear, in fact, that he felt alienated from his own attorney general. If he removed her, however, the pending decision on yet another special prosecutor [for 1996 campaign finance] would fall to Reno's deputy, Jamie Gorelick, who, Clinton feared, may share Reno's wholesale devotion to outside control for any case in which the president himself may become a target...If he removed both Reno and Gorelick, to start fresh, it would touch off a firestorm of protest like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre of the Justice Department officials during the Watergate scandal. That was not an option." [Branch, 388-389] > Branch writes about WJC talking about Reno and Louis Freeh disregarding a letter from D'Amato and continuing to allow independent counsel to go after Ciseneros. The same held true for Mike Espy. Branch then outlines a meeting between WJC and Reno. Reno had made public statements about her "desire to stay on the job. 'I told her I didn't like that one damn bit,' the president said tersely. 'I didn't hire her to work for the New York Times and Washington Post. I hired her to work for me.'" [Branch, 398] He continues to outline that Clinton did give Reno credit for some good achievements including coordination with U.S. attorneys and that he didn't blame her for the special prosecutor on Whitewater, but that "he did blame her for abdicating responsibility to supervise the investigations ever since, letting mandates multiply almost at will. She accepted criteria that were ludicrous and crassly partisan. Reno had failed to defend the presidency itself—not Clinton personally, but the institution—and by extension the entire executive branch...He told me she had no clue what he meant. His advisers considered her more naïve than upright, and the fuzziness of the distinction seemed to save her." [Branch, 399] He cites that Clinton warned her that she should prepare herself for not staying in the job for the entire second term. Portrayal of Jimmy Carter UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 There are parallels that could be drawn between WJC/BHO and Carter/WJC both in terms of Carter's trip to North Korea and the mission he went on to Haiti. WJC clearly was frustrated by Carter's seeming desire to be on the front lines. North Korea: ➢ "On North Korea, he [WJC] said Jimmy Carter had initiated his own recent trip with a call to Al Gore, and Clinton had approved the volunteer mission to break through North Korea's extreme isolation... Sure enough, Carter did reach North Korean dictator Kim Il-sung, who proposed to allow inspection of North Korea's nuclear facilities in exchange for relief from the harsh economic sanctions. The only hitch was that Carter announced the terms on CNN before they became official, adding gratuitously that he never had agreed with sanctions in the first place. News stories had the White House seething, but Clinton made light of the spat. He said the deal was since ratified by an exchange of letters, and he did not believe Carter would criticize official policy 'if the game were still in doubt.' [Branch, 162] Haiti: ➢ After pushing to be sent to Haiti and enlisting Colin Powell and Sam Nunn to get WJC to break with Gore (who said Carter shouldn't be trusted a second time) and Christopher and approve the mission to Haiti to seek a truce with the junta, Carter is portrayed as acting stubbornly and having 'clientitis' (arguing for acceptance of Haitian generals versus what was in the United States' best interest). He didn't want to leave and WJC told him he had to. Like after North Korea, Carter again, Carter went to the press first. "The three negotiators flew back to Washington late Sunday, and Carter, invited to stay over at the White House, called CNN's Judy Woodruff after midnight to arrange an interview the next morning before he reported to Clinton on his mission. This conduct, the president said tersely, was not right...The press was full of retrospective stories about friction between him and his three prominent negotiators...He said the current newsweeklies lapped up criticism by Carter as an embarrassment to Clinton...Many of his advisers griped that Jimmy Carter thought he was still president, but Clinton found this criticism too jaundiced. Carter had spoken with restraint at their joint press conference, he allowed, exhibiting a keen political ear...To Clinton, Carter simply felt that he had earned the right to speak his mind as an international statesman, even about a mission he had accepted for the United States government complete with an Air Force jet. This sense of entitlement could make Carter a thorn, but Clinton thought his value far outweighed the political annoyance. He considered Carter a sterling exresident." [Branch, 200-201] Dispatch of Bombers Near Iraq ➢ "He expected military strikes to win bipartisan assent, including former presidents Ford, Reagan and Bush. 'Dole will support me,' he said. 'Carter will probably criticize me. Carter always criticizes, but he doesn't have much positive to say." [Branch, 518] Gore For the majority of the book, there is little discussion of WJC and Gore's relationship. There are few places where he is briefly mentioned and a couple of scenes with some levity. The end, however, describes the seemingly brutally candid conversation between the two about the 2000 election and the impeachment. ➢ On page 92 Branch writes, "No, he [Clinton] did not ask Gore to take over a failed foreign policy, as alleged, but to improve public presentations by his troika of 'bad talkers': shy National Security Adviser Tony Lake, boring Secretary of State Warren Christopher, and disorganized Defense Secretary Les Aspin." [Branch, 92] UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 ➢ In one-passage WJC talks about asking Gore to lead the independent review of Hazel O'Leary and also having Gore substitute for him at an economic conference in Japan. The latter did not fare well as other nations were offended that Gore, not WJC attended. Gore insisted that WJC needed to go to Japan to redeem himself and the administration for his absence. Gore pointed to a few days in January, but WJC "pronounced them vital to Chelsea's schoolwork. Gore blinked. So what?...Mutual exasperation spiked. `Al,' Clinton told him, 'I am not going to Japan and leave Chelsea by herself to take these exams.' Gore erupted. He thought Clinton had lost his bearing. They had a big fight, said the president, and were still wrangling about dates for Japan." Branch states that this fight wound up being around the time WJC saw Lewinsky. [Branch, 316-317] ➢ On page 396-397 there is a scene, which shows Gore's sense of humor and Gore, WJC, et al working as a team to secure the Cabinet for the second term. ➢ Later there is a passage about an exchange between WJC and HRC about Gore trying to hire a second criminal lawyer. HRC already knew he was paying the first one $30,000 per month. The conversation is about a leak of an offer from Jim Neal of TN, the former Watergate prosecutor to defend Gore for free. The exchange is more on ethics of the offer and its leak to the press than about Gore. ➢ On Gore's announcing his campaign. "The president had called twice to congratulate Gore for his kickoff events—once from Geneva, hours later from Paris. Clinton thought the only glitches were technical... But Gore got all the big things right. His twofold message was perfect: distinguish himself from Clinton's personal flaws, and tell voters exactly what he would do for them in the White House. The president said it was fine for Gore to call Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky 'inexcusable.' First, it was true. Second, it showed a necessary strength to criticized the boss. Third, Gore would be badgered to death until he did. 'Al,' Clinton told him, 'if you thought it would help in the campaign, I would let you flog me at noon right on the doorstep of the Washington Post.'" [Branch, 553-554] Branch continues that WJC told Gore to ignore reporting that he was offended or critical of his campaign. "On tape, the president said he confided his chief strategic worry only to Gore himself and to Gore's pollster, Mark Penn. The vice president must project his platform—where he stood, precisely how and where he would lead the country—because the Republicans would try to knock him off substance." [Branch, 554] ➢ WJC offered critiques of Gore's campaign throughout, but it was always framed as his fear of Gore not succeeding him. For example, "Clinton still thought Gore could win. Most people considered him smart, experience, and motivated. He examined the pitfalls for Gore in a campaign showcasing presidential character over detailed agendas for the country. Reporters called Gore "stiff," but Clinton discounted this liability. He thought Gore's droll sense of humor would wear well over time. Gore also was perceived to be too conventional a Democrat, therefore lacking independence, which called for Gore to emphasize more his own passion and initiatives. Then the president said Gore could have a brooding quality about him, not worrisome or off-putting in itself, but potentially damaging if his serious nature failed to give voters a lifted. Clinton isolated the word "sunny." Gore needed more of it." [Branch, 599] ➢ He also complimented Gore's knowledge of government workings. "Gore knew Washington. Believe me, said the president, his administration would have made many more errors in the first two years had it not been for the vice president." He then goes on to say that WJC suggested Gore find someone who would be a bright spot to run with, perhaps Durbin or Bradley or Kerrey, although he also goes into great detail about the virtues of Mikulski, even though she would never get chosen. How much of this was WJC's emphasis versus Branch's focus on his home state senator is unclear. [Branch, 599, 618-19] ➢ WJC criticized Gore for not running on the successes of the administration. "They should be running essentially for a third term, said the president, but they were afraid the Clinton-Gore record would UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 tarnish them with Clinton's character." [Branch, 623] Branch gives WJC's critique of Gore in debate that had been heard before—that Gore lacked style and a light touch. ➢ Branch has WJC recalling a conversation between WJC and Gore where "Gore had bared himself in one of their stressful consultations by insisting that he, Gore, was a good politician, elaborating that he meant good on the policy, and also good on the politics, but admitted that he did not instinctively blend the two. Gore said he had to think about it, and Clinton thought this was pretty close to the bone...He had the stuff to be a great president, and this was the message that Clinton must convey somehow without seeming to brag on his own record." [Branch, 623-624] ➢ The big passage about Gore begins on page 641 and extends to 645. Branch notes that WJC was unsure at first about recording the details. At the outset it says, "For his own part, Gore was not angry, nor did he blame Clinton for his defeat, but he wanted to acknowledge forthrightly that some people around him did." [Branch, 642] It has WJC acknowledging that Gore's use of him was proper—he was best in the White House. Then he says, "'I think you made a mistake not to use me more in the last ten days,'" Clinton told Gore, 'but otherwise that was not a big deal. I was much more upset about your message, now that we're being honest.'" [Branch, 642] Branch recalls WJC saying Gore fought bag saying that "Clinton's drag plagued every direction." Clinton then said that Gore was better at governance than Clinton, and Gore would be better for the nation than Bush, and that he was an "unparalleled" vice president, but that he had "blind spots." Branch writes that WJC kept saying their confrontation was "surreal." o Gore had a "fresh grievance...he wanted Clinton to know that the Buddhist temple fund-raising scandal had been the worst experience of his life. No one had ever questioned his personal integrity, but corrosive publicity and whispers had tormented him now for four years. Gore said he had not been disposed to blame Clinton. However, he remembered telling the president that he found himself the only English-speaking person at one of those Asian fund-raisers. And the president was in charge of the party apparatus that was supposed to screen all the donations for trouble. So he did blame Clinton in a way. The president told me he could scarcely believe the ensuing tales of suspicion. Gore must still be in shock from the election, or unhinged. 'I thought he was in Neverland,' he said." [Branch, 643-644] o Branch continues: "The vice president asked Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. He had supported Clinton all through the impeachment, publicly and privately, while declaring himself disappointed. Yes, said the president. He appreciated that. However, persisted Gore, Clinton did not confide any personal feelings. He never explained exactly what happened. There was little to say, Clinton replied, beyond failure and regret. He was humiliated and angry, had made mistake. He had misled the American people, and he was sorry. Gore closed his point with emphasis. Well, he said, this is the first time you have apologized to me personally. Clinton did a double take...Gore treated the confession as a watershed. Their colliding perspectives made both of them angry. Clinton exploded that Gore's reaction was phony. What was so significant here?...Gore exploded back. He was feeling a stubborn repeat of the defensiveness and delayed honesty that somehow cost the election. Clinton's character was at the root of it..." [Branch, 644-45] Other ➢ Maggie as Person Recommending Panetta: Unlike in My Life, in Branch's book, it has WJC asking Maggie to compile confidential suggestions for McLarty's replacement. "Williams was shrewd, discreet, and efficient." [Branch, 161] UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764995 Date: 07/31/2015 > HRC and Haiti Invasion: Branch asked WJC what HRC thought about his foreign policy team's suggestion to invade Haiti. "He said the pell-mell rush to invade was crazy to her. Reacting against the pressure, the lack of options, and his sense of being trapped, she said he was badly served by his foreign policy staff. He said she observed with some suspicion that the chief sponsors of the invasion—Lake, Berger, and Talbott—were the same people who had pushed the ill-fated appointment of Bobby Ray Inman as defense secretary." [Branch, 189] > ITAV: ITAV co-author flap in which Sally Quinn spread rumors that HRC had not written the book. Quinn said that HRC had denied credit to the book's collaborator, Barbara Feinman, a friend of Quinn. HRC said Feinman had withdrawn from the project. Branch notes that the White House had draft chapters in HRC's handwriting. (Branch turned this to be about him and how it affected him as a ghostwriter.) From this HRC said that Quinn and her friends launched a rumor that HRC and a female veterinarian of Socks' were "discovered...in flagrante on a bedroom floor in the White House." [Branch, 342-343] > Subpoenas of CVC's Friends: Branch tells of how D'Amato, as Chair of the Banking Committee, had subpoenaed all those who might have been in the White House when HRC's Rose firm records were there. This included "some two dozen of Chelsea's sleepovers." Senator Sarbanes quashed the subpoenas for the sleepovers. [Branch, 362] ➢ Vernon Jordan Extramarital Sex: In the context of Lewinsky, Branch says of Vernon Jordan, "In our glancing associations, I had picked up from Vernon an attitude toward extramarital sex best described as lighthearted or recreational." [Branch, 495] > Gore/HRC ticket: "By the numbers, and Clinton's gut, a Gore-Hillary ticket would give Democrats their best chance to defeat Bush for the White House. 'Hands down,' he [WJC] said, tut I don't think Al would ever do it.'" [Branch, 540] > WJC suggesting Rubin run for NY Senate seat: The passage comes after WJC talks about supporting HRC if she decided to run, which raises a question of whether he had preferred Rubin or whether the two events are unconnected. "When the president had urged him [Rubin] to run for and easily win the New York Senate seat, Rubin recoiled...He could not fathom why Hillary wanted to run now..." [Branch, 557] ➢ On trip to South Asia: Branch says that WJC agreed to cancel a stop in Bangladesh, because "of hard intelligence that Osama bin Laden had lined the route with assassins." [Branch, 594] My Life discusses the cancelled trip but does not specify it was because of bin Laden or assassins. DI 'Gephardt is an asshole," Hillary commented. The president, pointing to my recorders, advised gently that the tapes were on. She winced but shrugged with a smile. "Well, he is," she insisted. In an awkward silence, I backed up both machines to erase the first lady's epithet."

I don't know about details of Obama's plan, but you looked terrific at the speech. (Lincoln, in 1864, on Obama's plan: "The difficulty is not in stating the principle, it is in applying it.") Too bad Rep. Wilson didn't wear a red pantsuit. Max continues to rocket--up to #8 overall this am, #1 in every nonfiction category except cookbooks. And last night in an special election Jackie was elected Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner in DC. It was a hard fought race, in fact, and her opponent ran a negative campaign against her on email with the slogan: "She's Not Jackie." Here's the draft of the article Max has written on the bad Joe Wilson (membership in racist organization) and that will be published today. This should do it. Let's speak when you have time. Rep. Joe Wilson's Rebel Yell Inside the racist klavern that Joe Wilson joined By Max Blumenthal Since Republican Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina bellowed at President Barack Obama, "You lie!" during the president's nationally televised speech on healthcare, the fourth term backbencher has emerged as a hero among the conservative grassroots. One of the most enthusiastic endorsements of Wilson's histrionics came from the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), a group that Wilson has belonged to for several years. "Mr. Wilson, never apologize for allowing your love of truth to overrun your desire to be polite," the SCV Tea Party declared on its website. "It is the liar who must apologize, not the one who identifies the liar!" Who are the SCV? A once-proud organization of Confederate history buffs and reenactors who spent their organization's money to restore Civil War-era battlefields and Confederate cemeteries, by 2006 the SCV was substantially taken over by an organized cadre of white supremacist radicals (read here for more background) who sought to turn the nation's oldest Southern historical society into what the veteran white supremacist activist Kirk Lyons called "a modern, 21st century Christian war machine capable of uniting the Confederate community and leading it to ultimate victory." When the racist junta had seized much of the SCV's leadership positions, the Southern Poverty Law Center released an extensive list of SCV officials who belonged to "hate groups." Lyons, a key leader of the white supremacists who took over the SCV, had harbored dreams of creating a seemingly benign front group for a more sophisticated version of the Ku Klux Klan. "I have great respect for the Klan historically, but, sadly the Klan today is ineffective and sometimes even destructive," Lyons told a German neo-Nazi magazine in 1992. "It would be good if the Klan followed the advice of former Klansman Robert Miles: 'Become invisible. Hang the robes and hoods in the cupboard and become an underground org anization.'" With the SCV, Lyons discovered he didn't have to go underground after all. Once Lyons helped install his close friend, Ron Wilson, as president of the SCV, the organization's political newsletter, The Southern Mercury (where Wilson served as senior editor), transformed into a propaganda mill for crude white supremacist cant. Mailed to all dues-paying members of the SCV — presumably including Rep. Joe Wilson — until it went defunct in 2008, the Mercury has published articles describing blacks as genetically inferior to whites, calling African-Americans as "a childlike people," and warned that if Obama runs for re-election, race riots of an "exceedingly violent nature" would immediately ensure, leaving "entire sections of some of our cities in ruins." Here are a few highlights from the Southern Mercury: "After the turn of the 20th century, the white Southerners had disfranchised and segregated the blacks, in perhaps the mildest reaction possible at=2 Othat time to the blacks' transgressions. The blacks — then a childlike people — had been selling their votes to the Democrats en masse for $.25 apiece in national elections." --"Where We Stand Now, And How We Got Here," by Frank Conner, Southern Mercury, September/October 2003 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765809 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765809 Date: 07/31/2015 "Previously, anthropologists had routinely recorded the notable differences in IQ among the races; but at Columbia, a liberal cultural anthropologist named Franz Boas...decreed that there were no differences in IQ among the races, and the only biological differences between the blacks and whites were of superficial nature... Meanwhile, the liberals in the media heaped special praise upon black athletes, musicians, singers, and writers — and treated them as typical of the black race. The liberals were creating a false image of the blacks in America as a highly competent people who were being held back by the prejudiced white Southerners." --Conner, September/October 2003 "It is very clear to me that if Barack Obama should be elected President, he would be extremely anti-white and would demand reparations for slavery and press hard for affirmative action to the degree that it would hurt young whites who were seeking jobs or admission to College and Graduate Schools." --"Americans Face The Worst Presidential Candidates In History," by Robert Slimp, Southern Mercury, May/June 2008 "I believe that [Obama's] rhetoric and anti-white legislative proposals would stir up racial riots. If he were running for re-election, these riots would turn into an exceedingly violent nature that would seriously damage race relations in America, and leave entire sections of some of our cities in ruins." --Slimp, May/June 2008 Rep. Joe Wilson could have resigned from the SCV as soon as the organization's takeover by open white supremacists began. But he didn't. Or he could have withdrawn his membership when the SCV's flagship journal turned into a racist rag. But he didn't. Instead, while serving as a state senator, Wilson led an SCV-inspired campaign in 2000 to keep the Confederate flag flying above South Carolina's state capitol. "The Southern heritage, the Confederate heritage, is very honorable," Wilson proclaimed at the time, responding to critics of the Confederate flag. Wilson's rebel yell at Obama has electrified the Republican grassroots, filling his campaign coffers with donations he is soliciting from conservatives across the country and earning the undistinguished, previously unknown backbencher primetime appearances on right-wing talk shows. Wilson has become the new voice of the Republican opposition, reigniting the Lost Cause as a raucous crusade to sabotage healthcare reform.

First, see below on Nagorno-Karabakh. Third, on QME, Gates and Barak are meeting the week of UNGA and we are holding until then if you are comfortable with that. Fourth, Declan Kelly is going to be in Belfast Monday and Tuesday with Lou Susman. I will be there Tuesday for all of the official meetings. Declan and I will stay Tuesday night after Lou leaves and have dinner with a broad cross-section of folks. Fifth, I'm working with Holbrooke's and Lew's shops on the materials for Af/Pak, and we'll have a concept paper over the weekend on the UNGA curtain raiser. Sixth, Mike Fuchs and I met with Team WHA on Mexico, following up on Carlos' memo. Mike is working with WHA to ensure that we create a productive agenda and outcomes for the Merida meeting you will participate in at UNGA. (SBU) Reports about an alleged lethal incident along the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh remain unconfirmed. The potential implications on the peace process are not yet clear. At the moment, regional leaders are responding cautiously and the impact on other regional processes does not appear significant. The Armenian Ministry of Defense denied any unusual activity along the line of contact; the Azerbaijan Ministry of Defense told media that incidents are frequent along the line of contact. Embassy Yerevan reports that it is customary to deny reports of sniper incidents along the line of contact, but that an incident of this magnitude would be difficult to cover up. Embassy Baku notes that President Aliyev is in Kazakhstan and local authorities could be waiting for his return before deciding on how to proceed. Neither of our Embassies have been able to confirm local media reports. John L.

Jane Harman In rnr...ent weeks, prominent American politicians and columnists have begun debating troop levels in Afghanistan. Some call for a complete withdrawal, while others favor increasing the number of U.S. troops. The size of U.S. forces in Afghanistan is a critical issue, but a debate about troop strength misses the point. Unless and until one other problem is addressed, neither more troops nor fewer troops will reverse the tide of terrorism being fomented in Afghanistan or improve our national security. It I he corruption, sturici. Eliminating corruption in Afghanistan is in both that nation's interest and ours. From the Afghan perspective, an honest government would give the people a genuine say in the direction of their country. For us, it would dramatically increase our national security, both because it would increase the effectiveness of our efforts to fight the Taiiban and because the end result would be an Afghan population more invested in taking on the fight themselves. That is our real objective. Wrion I traveled tc P..tgrianistan in April with Sen. Jon Kyl, Arizona Republican, we were warned by opposition candidates that the country's presidential election would be marred by widespread fraud. They were right. On top of everything else that we have learned about the Afghan government, the vote that took place on Aug. 20 was a sham. Every indication. is that the election results have been completely skewed by widespread, sys..fematic Afghan politics have never been particularly clean -- money, power and position traditionally have been traded for support. from tribal and ethnic blocs. But evidence of fraud in last month's election is colossally disturbing: Voter cards were bought and sold freely in the run-up to the vote, precinct workers arrived at dawn to find baiht boxes stuffed fill], some dastricts recorded more votes than there were registered voters, and nationwide voter registrt*c.:,:il. sumassed the number of eligible voters. by as much as 5 million.

But electoral fraud is merely a symptom of a much graver problem plaguing the country -- the failure to establish good governance. Pervasive corruption infects all levels of the Afghan government. Tribal elders in Kandahar told us they were so fed up with the Karzai government that they would join the Taliban if better governance could not be achieved. This election is a chilling reminder of what's at stake. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal appears to understand this. His emphasis on joint civilian-military efforts to improve governance is much needed, but the American people deserve some accountability. Congress should not even be asked about more troops without first being shown evidence that some anti-corruption metrics have been achieved, not just announced. The U.S. military's mission will be undermined so long as the Afghan government fails to govern. That's what's happening right now. A recent poll found 83 percent of Afghans think their country needs to change direction. Lowering that disapproval number should be a key ingredient in any measure of governance; public opinion is essential in judging whether the government .ass earned the people's trust. That's what a successful counterinsurgency effort is really about: giving Afghans faith in their institutions and developing a willingness to cooperate with and protect them. Public opinion should be gauged on a province-by-province basis to help assess where government is sneceeding and w!nere it is not. But change mast start at the top. If the sham election stands and Mr. Karzai remains president, he must drastically ehange his personal poiiLics. He has preserved his position of power through a series of politically expedient bur. morally repugnant alliances. This includes turning a blind eye to Helmand province, where his brother, A:hiller' Vv al Karzai, has became a legendary and detested figure. The Karzais deny Ahmed Wali's involvement in the heroin trade -- Helmand is the world's primary producer -- but don't quarrel that he is in the "transportation, 'ausimms."

Do we need to kill it to save it? BY MATTHEW ARMSTRONG I SEPTEMBER 11, 2009 Discussion over the fate of Foggy Bottom usually focuses on the tenure of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the troubles of public diplomacy, and the rise of special envoys on everything from European pipelines to Afghanistan and Pakistan. But Americans would benefit more from a reassessment of the core functionality of the U.S. State Department. Years of neglect and marginalization, as well as a dearth of long-term vision and strategic planning, have left the 19thcentury institution hamstrung with fiefdoms and bureaucratic bottlenecks. The Pentagon now funds and controls a wide range of foreign-policy and diplomatic priorities -- from development to public diplomacy and beyond. The world has changed, with everyone from politicians to talking heads to terrorists directly influencing global audiences. The most pressing issues are stateless: pandemics, recession, terrorism, poverty, proliferation, and conflict. But as report after report, investigation after investigation, has highlighted, the State Department is broken and paralyzed, unable to respond to the new 21st-century paradigm. But how did it get so bad? Is it possible to fix? Or should we just push it over the wall like a great Humpty Dumpty and reassign the pieces? There is growing evidence that the internal machinations of the State Department have corrupted its "core missions" of traditional diplomacy and public diplomacy. This year, for example, the Government Accountability Office (gao) found that the department completely failed in its now four-year-old attempt to reorganize its nonproliferation bureau (a bureau that remains leaderless). Besides failing to address mission overlap, low morale, and lack of career opportunities, the failed reorganization caused a significant drop in expertise in offices focused on proliferation issues -- including UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765924 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765924 Date: 07/31/2015 "today's threats posted by Iran, North Korea, and Syria," the gao's report said -- and coordination with bodies like the International Atomic Energy Agency. Another report by the State Department's inspector general this year described severe and broad dysfunction within the Africa bureau, while ignoring -- perhaps considering it a given -- the lack of departmentwide integration and leadership in operations. Examples of the dysfunction range from not providing public diplomacy personnel with computers capable of reading interoffice memos to a failure to effectively work with the new Africa Command. By necessity, the Defense Department has stepped in where State Department has tuned out: Foggy Bottom relies on Pentagon funding and even personnel for basic operations central to its mission. For example, the Defense Department now performs much strategic communications work traditionally the purview of the State Department. In Somalia, for example, the State Department's budget for public diplomacy is $30,000. The Pentagon's is $600,000. And, in the State Department's bureaucratic wisdom, the $30,000 does not even belong to its undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs. Further, rivalries between the different "cones" -- or career tracks, referred to by one insider as the "conal caste system" -- at the State Department severely impact morale, career growth, and even operations. The report on the Africa bureau noted that in 2002, public affairs and public diplomacy was a "failed office" -- and that the situation is worse in 2009. Public outreach workers said the bureau's leadership "does not understand public diplomacy." The sentiment is widespread. A 2008 report by a congressional ombudsman, the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy, described a systemic failure to support and train public diplomacy officers in the field, as well as professional discrimination against those in the career track. Attempts to fix the State Department have focused on short-term issues, such as ameliorating its shortages in human and financial resources. The last eight secretaries of state have attempted to bolster the department by bolstering its bottom line. No less than Defense Secretary Robert Gates and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, have long suggested transferring funds from the Defense Department to State Department. But the situation is so dire that the State Department, at this point, could not even absorb and spend that much-needed infusion of cash. If there were a wholesale transfer of funds tomorrow, the lack of capacity and skills at the State department would mean it would have to give it back to the Defenk Department or dole it out to contractors. The creeping militarization of U.S. foreign policy is itself deeply worrying, not just to Gates and Mullen, but also to such luminaries as Secretary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden. In 2008, then-Senator Biden questioned the "expanding role of the military in U.S. foreign policy." He said he was concerned by the "migration of functions and authorities from U.S. civilian agencies to the Department of Defense." Some commentators have even wondered aloud whether the best way to fix the State Department might be to destroy it. Foggy Bottom could retain a small core staff for its embassies and ambassadors. All other functions -- such as public diplomacy, countering misinformation and propaganda, and development, including provincial reconstruction staffing -could migrate to the Pentagon or become wholly independent agencies. But atomizing the State Department would ultimately prove dangerous and further the militarization of foreign policy. The Pentagon needs a counterbalance, a vertically integrated State Department that the president, Congress, and the U.S. public can count on. Change, rather than creative destruction, is what Foggy Bottom needs. Envision a State Department capable of leading whole-of-government initiatives with a strategic focus instead of one hidebound department geared by structure and tradition to execute state-to-state diplomacy. This "Department of State and Non-State" would be as deft at tackling stateless terrorist networks and hurricanes as it would be at fostering and upholding alliances with foreign ministers. To transform Foggy Bottom in this way will require breaking the rigid hierarchy, stovepipes, and bottlenecks which make the Pentagon look lean and dynamic in comparison. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765924 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765924 Date: 07/31/2015 Modern global affairs are not compartmentalized by political borders. Besides expanding the overly shallow and narrow authorities of the public diplomacy bureau, Clinton must restructure the State Department to focus less on countries and more on regions. Currently, each of Foggy Bottom's regional bureaus, such as Near East Affairs, is configured to oversee its patch of embassies. Country desk officers, and most ambassadors, report to an assistant secretary, the regional head. The assistant secretary in turn reports to an undersecretary, who reports to Clinton. Clinton should name the regional bureau heads, currently assistant secretaries, to undersecretary status. This would help eliminate an unnecessary bureaucratic layer and would also align the State Department with the Defense Department (which has powerful regional commands, such as Centcom and Africom). The State Department's regional leaders would hold an equivalent civilian rank to four-star combatant commanders like Gen. David Petraeus. These changes would promise to improve communications, synchronize missions, and put the department on the right path for today's requirements. But Clinton should beware reforming the State Department too quickly from within -- her efforts could be paralyzed by a bureaucracy in mutiny that would simply wait her out. U.S. national security would suffer and the Pentagon's growing power would become more entrenched. Clinton will need the clear and unequivocal support of the president and more importantly Congress, which authorizes State Department spending bills, to have a chance at success. In a burst of activity after Barack Obama's election, Congress authorized more money and people for the State Department and pushed for greater public diplomacy. Still more is required. The question asked over the last eight years as the State Department abrogated its various responsibilities -- if not Defense, then who? -- will not, indeed cannot, be answered until the department steps up to the plate and becomes effective and visible in leading and implementing U.S. foreign policy. This will take time. But, as the saying goes, there is no time like the present. The United States now has a Congress that supports change, secretaries of state and defense who want change, a president whose entire election platform was built around the word "change," and an American public that would be outraged at the dysfunction if it only knew the details. 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765924 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765927 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Cherie Blair Monday, September 14, 2009 12:02 PM H; hr15@mycingular.blackberry.net psolisdoylE Sheikha Mosa of Qatar She is available to see you on 24th September either morning or afternoon?

The Queens Chronicle reported last week that SL Green/Hard Rock made a presentation on Thursday. "Hard Rock is the right balance," [Pres/CEO Marc] Holliday said. "Its recognized brand and quality entertainment will attract younger and older players across the stratum. People flying in from JFK will say, 'I hear there's a Hard Rock, I want to see it." One of this group's big pitches is that they'll be the first to generate a revenue stream ("shovel-ready, in the ground, the day after the award.") And thanks to the reader who alerted us to this article in Crain's which, more importantly than comprising yet another virtual press release for Steve Wynn, contains, towards the bottom, a handy pocket guide to the six bidders, the financial portion of their bids (or at least what is known about them), and the ups and downs of their proposals. This is a tough call; handicapping without the Form as I said before. I can't say I have a favorite; neither a particular personal preference, nor a clue as to the most likely winner. But I'll give it a shot and take the Crain's piece one step further by coming up with a morning line. Aqueduct Entertainment Group (3-1): Competitive bid of $251 million (contingent on 7,650 machines; $301 million with 10,000), a plethora of local connections on the real estate/construction side, and approval by local unions could compensate for the lack of brand name recognition of gaming partner The Navegante Group. Presence of Senator Malcolm Smith's longtime confidante Rev. Floyd Flake doesn't hurt either. SL Green/Hard Rock (4-1) - Boosted its bid to $275 million, and has the Hard Rock brand name as mentioned above. Manhattan-based realtor SL Green has been endorsed by several local unions . But, as mentioned by Crain's, they were passed over in favor of Delaware North the first time around. Aqueduct Gaming (6-1), Buffalo-based Delaware North's group, has rallied late with a stepped-up publicity effort and a major community initiative after appearing indifferent early on (though it's original $100 million upfront offer remains intact with an additional $200 million to follow). The addition of Harrah's adds an experienced operator and an interesting cross-marketing twist which is probably not allowed under the nowdisappeared MOU. And, like the two bidders above, Aqueduct Gaming has been reported to have reached accommodations with the unions. So I listed them as the third choice on these merits. However, a part of me wants to list them as the rank outsider - I'd be pretty damn shocked if the state goes back to the company which dropped out UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765936 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765936 Date: 07/31/2015 after failing to raise the money last time. And, as I've mentioned several times, given the reports of an investigation by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo into lobbyist Patricia Lynch's dealings with the Assembly Speaker, I don't know if her involvement here is going to help or hurt. Steve Wynn (8-1) has offered $300 million, but he was the only bidder of the six contenders to receive a bad grade from the hotel unions as reported by Jim Odato in the Times Union last week. Whatsmore, the scale of his building proposal is laughably ridiculous, and it wouldn't be ready until 2011. He'd be the favorite if the decision is based on the number of newspaper and online articles each bidder has been featured in. But, quite simply, he sometimes comes off as a nut . Penn National (12-1) might be worth a ducat at long odds. No local connection here makes them a dark horse. But a $250 million bid (as reported elsewhere though not in the Crain's piece) puts them in the ballgame, and the company is an experienced gaming operator with a solid balance sheet which would probably do as competent a job as anyone else. R. Donahue Peebles/MGM Mirage (20-1) didn't increase its $150 million bid, and doesn't have a lobbyist; good luck with that. Whatsmore, no local flavor and MGM Mirage has had some well-publicized financial woes (though things have been looking up of late ). Would be a major surprise.

To: CDM Fr: Caitlin Re: Branch Book Overview: There are few surprises in this book. The "surprises" that might exist are buried and took a close reading to pick up on— the two main ones are about the terror clause of WJC's crime bill and why he hadn't disclosed information about Lewinsky (because he hadn't wanted to become a witness against her). There are a lot of things that have been covered in My Life and other publications. Quite honestly the book was pretty boring and much more focused on Branch than I had anticipated. While not as "and this day, and the next day" as My Life, it does share many of the same elements that would engage only a true Clinton fanatic or historian. The fact that there appears to be no index also makes it difficult for anyone looking for a quick hit to get one. Furthermore, WJC's words are so interlaced with Branch's recollection through his dictations, that the number of direct WJC quotes was far fewer than I had expected. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 HRC was not as much of a player as one might imagine. Her role is largely seen through her interactions with Branch when he is recording WJC. Her statements were consistent with the past, with the exception of the Gephardt comment, and didn't grab much attention at al1.[11 (Others included HRC's devotion to CVC, thought that there should not be a special prosecutor and images of her returning from meetings. They were pretty much aligned with her interactions with Branch.) Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, many of the problems discussed in the book are those, which face the current Administration—Middle East peace, North Korea, China, etc... Branch repeatedly injects his feelings on specific subjects and seems to use the book to voice his own opinion of the Administration and events of the time. He clearly has topics he prefers over others (for example his connection with the events in Haiti result in a lot of discussion about it), but there are some subjects that are strikingly sparsely discussed such as Rwanda. Its absence from long discussions was surprising, but it did not appear as thought WJC ever-dodged questions about the topic, they just weren't addressed. Much like My Life, one theme that repeated itself was WJC's conflict with and disdain for the media, especially long passages about NYT and Washington Post. There are a few instances where gives them credit on their reporting, but you would be hard-pressed to find them. Additionally, there are numerous mentions of WJC's acute allergies and his chronic fatigue, with imagery of him falling asleep in sessions on more than a couple occasions. The book has quite a bit on Whitewater, but given the dearth of public documentation there is little that Branch could write that hadn't been said. One thing I had not recalled was the D'Amato's subpoena of CVC's friends, later quashed, who slept over while HRC's Rose Law Firm records were in the White House. Branch does portray a helpful distinction in how WJC looked at Whitewater and other scandals. While WJC attacks Whitewater as a political hunt, Branch does have him WJC saying that Filegate needed to be separated from Whitewater, because this was a legitimate inquiry. There are some quips that could catch someone's eye, such as WJC referring to Paula Jones as "a 'new bimbo' he [WJC] didn't even recognize." Branch does not dwell on Lewinsky or the impeachment. With the exception of Bruce, Bennett and Kendall, no other lawyers are mentioned. There is one passage that I am looking into, in which WJC says part of the reason he didn't mention his relationship with Lewinsky at first was because she was being threatened with jail time if she was found to be lying under oath and had he told the truth he could become a witness against her. This is a very small passage that could easily be missed, but one that it is important to note as I don't recall hearing this before. (This is addressed more fully below.) There are a few relationships that track through the book more than others. They include WJC's relationship with Gore, which maps in part because it is not a focal point until the end, and his contentious relationship with Janet Reno. The one Senator that appears to be most discussed negatively is Moynihan. All three of these issues are discussed in turn below. WJC is portrayed as an extremely loving and attentive father and HRC is portrayed in a much more human light than other books/articles covering this time period, with ample mention of her relationship with CVC and images of affection between her and WJC, both pre- and post-impeachment. 12 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 On foreign relations there is a lot of time spent discussing the Middle East, Northern Ireland, the Balkans, China, Russia, Pakistan/India and in the beginning of the book, Haiti. (Note: Much of what is written about Haiti is about Branch's own experience there and on the subject.) There is also a fair amount of discussion about North Korea, but nothing that has not been discussed in the past few weeks. Bin Laden is discussed in what seems to track mention of him in My Life, which seems to have more detail and background than this book. In certain cases there is more detail here than in My Life, for example on his trip to Pakistan WJC wrote that the USSS cancelled one stop because they would be "defenseless" flying in, whereas Brach writes that the streets would be lined with "assassins." There are candid looks at WIC's take on certain people and the relationship between some, such as Albright and Berger's dislike of Holbrooke, and a more detailed depiction of Yeltsin's drinking, such as yelling outside of Blair House for a cab to get pizza. One thing to note, is that often times WJC seems to be speaking to Branch intentionally without the recorders going, but Branch writes about those interactions and exchanges nonetheless. Such is the case with HRC's Gephardt comment. The following items are addressed in the memo: Wen Ho Lee and Terror Clause of Crime Bill WJC and Lewinsky's Silence HRC and Kissinger HRC and gay/lesbian 4 4 I 1 4 5 Tension with Moynihan 5 HRC as World Player 5 Jesse Jackson 6 Tension with Janet Reno 6 Portrayal of Carter 7 Relationship with Gore 8 Other (This includes: Maggie recommending Panetta, HRC and Haiti Invasion, ITAV co-author flap, Subpoenas of CVC's Friends, Vernon Jordan on Extramarital Sex, Gore/HRC ticket, WJC suggesting Rubin run for Senate, Trip to South Asia) 11 13 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 Wen Ho Lee and Terror Clause of Crime Bill In discussing Wen Ho Lee's release Branch characterizes WJC's lack of knowledge about the strained interpretation of the anti-terrorist provisions in the crime bill and arbitrary detentions as a "confession." My Life only mentions Lee's accusation in passing and does not again discuss Lee. Below are two passages from Branch's book the first giving context and the second about the Terror Clause of the Crime Bill. 0 The year closed on spies and terrorism. The Justice Department, after fierce debate among the security agencies, indicted nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee on fifty-nine counts of copying classified material to his personal computer. Lee was being handled like a radioactive espionage defendant—no bail, lockdown, solitary confinement—even though the long dragnet had produced no evidence that he offered secrets to China or anyone else. The president said experts were telling him the worst spies sometimes stored their treason for a rainy day. This sounded fishy to me. Clinton shrugged. Nothing would please him more than to establish Lee's innocence. [Branch, 577] 0 While Lee was indicted, Branch writes that WJC noted that others "were being held in secret, uncharged and untried...He [WJC] was embarrassed not to have sponsored this measure into law without foreseeing such arbitrary detentions...Under the terrorist act, any prosecutor should decide within the legal limit...whether to bring charges on the testimony of a secret informant or otherwise. To his dismay, Clinton had learned of defendants held incommunicado for more than six months. One extreme detention had last three years. 'I think it's wrong,' he [WJC] said. 'It's not American. We accept guilty people on the street to enjoy and protect our freedom." [Branch, 629] WJC and Lewinsky's Silence Branch writes that part of WJC's motive for not discussing what had happened with Lewinsky was that it could send her to jail, as she had denied it. 0 "Also, he pointed out that Starr had been threatening to jail Lewinsky all year over her sworn denial of the affair. If Clinton had come forward with anything at all about their relationship, he said Starr could have turned him into a witness against Lewinsky, betraying her discreet silence. Such subtleties, while original, struck me as tendentious. The president never claimed chivalry as the real motive for his steadfast denial, nor did he dispute the essential truth of Lewinsky's account." [Branch, 511] HRC and Kissinger The following could be fodder for people who want to continue to string along the notion of channeling Eleanor Roosevelt. 14 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 0 There is a passage in which HRC describes an exchange she had with Kissinger at a dinner where he complained that if the health care bill passed he wouldn't be able to see his own doctor. She continued to say "it was interesting, in fact, that she had dreamed about Kissinger only a few nights before. His visage turned suddenly effervescent at a banquet, announcing gladly that his worries were over because the Clinton health care bill was dying. 'Oh, no, Dr. Kissinger,' she replied coolly. 'Don't be sure that it's dead. We'll keep fighting, and there's always light at the end of the tunnel.' She said Kissing blanched, speechless at her deft reminder of the Vietnam War...Now at last, in Hillary's dream, it registered that his strategic designs had spewed carnage and venom for seven needless years...'That's what I dreamed,' Hillary repeated, lost in thought. 'You know, I always get my revenge in dreams, but never in real life." [Branch, 179] HRC and gay/lesbian Writing about a call with HRC from NYS, Branch recalls how WIC's counsel got very "exercised." WJC left the room. "He was subdued on his return. 'You know, I've had a lot more contact with gay people in my life than Hillary.' He sighed. Her temperament had a conservative, religious core, formed before homosexual issues were even mentionable. New York politics was a tough crucible, and she was unsure what heat she could take. On the other hand, personal experience could speed adaptation." [Branch, 551] Tension with Moynihan There are several occasions throughout the book that Branch recalls WJC's grievances and frustration with Moynihan. For example: 0 When Moynihan called for the international arms embargo to be unilaterally lifted so that Bosnia could fight for themselves, Branch writes, "The president flinched when I mentioned [it]...'That's just a freebie for him,' snapped Clinton, 'and he knows it." [p.140] 0 In regard to health care: "Echoing comments by Hillary at dinner, he [WJC] faulted Senator Moynihan for aimless hearings conducted without a strategy or theme." [p.170] 0 Discussing Independent Counsel: "She [HRC] was especially scornful of the Democrats, and quoted a number of them. Senator Moynihan, for instance, publicly said the Clintons were nice people and he was sure they had nothing to hide. 'Why not have an investigation?' he often asked. She said Moynihan skated blithely on the surface, never produced results in Congress, and could not withstand such scrutiny himself for five minutes, living in an apartment secured through his chairmanship of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation." [Brach, 182] 15 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 0 "Donnybrook" argument in which Moynihan said of a fundraising speech WJC gave citing a regretted hypothetical about a controversial decision. Moynihan told the press, "He doesn't understand...that he's conceding the principles." WJC confronted him about lack of context given to the statement to the press and said that Moynihan knew what he was doing by "feeding the beast of hostile presumption about Clinton's motives." [Branch, 299] HRC as World Player There are several images as HRC as a player on the world stage, both with WJC and on her own. Several examples follow: 0 Middle East: Discussing peace with King Hussein: "They had retreated for lunch as two couples—the Clintons, with the king and his wife, Queen Noor—in the family dining room...Their agenda was a delicate race between Hussein's failing health and his desire to make peace with Israel. The president said he and Hillary pounded away on symptoms of national estrangement: closed boarders, water disputes, travel barriers, war grievances, contested airspace, sealed electrical grids, and so on. Hussein gave them a feast of goodwill without commitment on any point." [Branch, 170] 0 South Asia: Regarding her trip to South Asia with CVC in 1995, "Her [HRC's] schedule was far more demanding than ceremonial, pushing both conflict resolution and civic empowerment for downtrodden women." [Branch, 236] Later Branch tells of Benazir Bhutto praising CVC and HRC. "By contrast with a superficial American press, which portrayed Hillary as a demure tourist of no policy significance in exotic Asia, Bhutto said she had touched essential political chords with whirlwind encouragements for citizenship groups and small-scale economic development." (The note contrasting Bhutto corresponds to a NYT article which Branch quotes in the footer saying, "she [HRC] played the traditional role of First Lady as wife and mother...") [Branch, 246] 0 China Speech: Branch outlines how HRC felt the speech needed to be bigger than China and how she depicted the "harsh reality everywhere" from China to Africa. He then cites WJC commenting on the rave reviews of HRC's speech. [Branch, 289] 0 Regarding the Russian financial system meltdown, Branch writes "Yeltsin seemed so removed from urgent political tasks that both Clintons counseled him directly." [Branch, 512-513] Jesse Jackson Branch writes about Jesse Jackson calling CVC after the Lewinsky story broke and having continued contact with her throughout the period. WJC thanks him for his support of CVC. This goes into some detail about WJCs gratitude, but the fact that Jackson "counseled" CVC has been public knowledge dating back to at least 1999. 16 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 0 "But now Jesse had done something he would not forget. When the Lewinsky news broke, he called Chelsea at Stanford. Jesse was the only nonfamily adult with her cell phone number. How he got it was another story. Jesse said he knew this was terrible for her. Nothing like it had ever happened in American politics. He did not know everything involved, but he wanted to remind Chelsea how much her parents loved her. Their family needed to stick together now above all, and if she needed to counsel, rage, or pray, he was always available." [Branch, 497] Tension with Janet Reno Throughout the book, from his nomination of her, WJC is portrayed as having no opinion to having a negative opinion of Janet Reno. 0 "He complained about Janet Reno—made it clear, in fact, that he felt alienated from his own attorney general. If he removed her, however, the pending decision on yet another special prosecutor [for 1996 campaign finance] would fall to Reno's deputy, Jamie Gorelick, who, Clinton feared, may share Reno's wholesale devotion to outside control for any case in which the president himself may become a target...lf he removed both Reno and Gorelick, to start fresh, it would touch off a firestorm of protest like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre of the Justice Department officials during the Watergate scandal. That was not an option." [Branch, 388-389] 0 Branch writes about WJC talking about Reno and Louis Freeh disregarding a letter from D'Amato and continuing to allow independent counsel to go after Ciseneros. The same held true for Mike Espy. Branch then outlines a meeting between WJC and Reno. Reno had made public statements about her "desire to stay on the job. 'I told her I didn't like that one damn bit,' the president said tersely. 'I didn't hire her to work for the New York Times and Washington Post. I hired her to work for me." [Branch, 398] He continues to outline that Clinton did give Reno credit for some good achievements including coordination with U.S. attorneys and that he didn't blame her for the special prosecutor on Whitewater, but that "he did blame her for abdicating responsibility to supervise the investigations ever since, letting mandates multiply almost at will. She accepted criteria that were ludicrous and crassly partisan. Reno had failed to defend the presidency itself—not Clinton personally, but the institution—and by extension the entire executive branch...He told me she had no clue what he meant. His advisers considered her more naive than upright, and the fuzziness of the distinction seemed to save her." [Branch, 399] He cites that Clinton warned her that she should prepare herself for not staying in the job for the entire second term. Portrayal of Jimmy Carter There are parallels that could be drawn between WJC/BHO and Carter/WJC both in terms of Carter's trip to North Korea and the mission he went on to Haiti. WJC clearly was frustrated by Carter's seeming desire to be on the front lines. 17 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 North Korea: 0 "On North Korea, he [WJC] said Jimmy Carter had initiated his own recent trip with a call to Al Gore, and Clinton had approved the volunteer mission to break through North Korea's extreme isolation...Sure enough, Carter did reach North Korean dictator Kim II-sung, who proposed to allow inspection of North Korea's nuclear facilities in exchange for relief from the harsh economic sanctions. The only hitch was that Carter announced the terms on CNN before they became official, adding gratuitously that he never had agreed with sanctions in the first place. News stories had the White House seething, but Clinton made light of the spat. He said the deal was since ratified by an exchange of letters, and he did not believe Carter would criticize official policy 'if the game were still in doubt." [Branch, 162] Haiti: 0 After pushing to be sent to Haiti and enlisting Colin Powell and Sam Nunn to get WJC to break with Gore (who said Carter shouldn't be trusted a second time) and Christopher and approve the mission to Haiti to seek a truce with the junta, Carter is portrayed as acting stubbornly and having 'clientitis' (arguing for acceptance of Haitian generals versus what was in the United States' best interest). He didn't want to leave and WJC told him he had to. Like after North Korea, Carter again, Carter went to the press first. "The three negotiators flew back to Washington late Sunday, and Carter, invited to stay over at the White House, called CNN's Judy Woodruff after midnight to arrange an interview the next morning before he reported to Clinton on his mission. This conduct, the president said tersely, was not right...The press was full of retrospective stories about friction between him and his three prominent negotiators...He said the current newsweeklies lapped up criticism by Carter as an embarrassment to Clinton...Many of his advisers griped that Jimmy Carter thought he was still president, but Clinton found this criticism too jaundiced. Carter had spoken with restraint at their joint press conference, he allowed, exhibiting a keen political ear...To Clinton, Carter simply felt that he had earned the right to speak his mind as an international statesman, even about a mission he had accepted for the United States government complete with an Air Force jet. This sense of entitlement could make Carter a thorn, but Clinton thought his value far outweighed the political annoyance. He considered Carter a sterling ex-resident." [Branch, 200-201] Dispatch of Bombers Near Iraq 0 "He expected military strikes to win bipartisan assent, including former presidents Ford, Reagan and Bush. 'Dole will support me,' he said. 'Carter will probably criticize me. Carter always criticizes, but he doesn't have much positive to say." [Branch, 518] Gore For the majority of the book, there is little discussion of WJC and Gore's relationship. There are few places where he is briefly mentioned and a couple of scenes with some levity. The end, however, describes the seemingly brutally candid conversation between the two about the 2000 election and the impeachment. 18 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 0 On page 92 Branch writes, "No, he [Clinton] did not ask Gore to take over a failed foreign policy, as alleged, but to improve public presentations by his troika of 'bad talkers': shy National Security Adviser Tony Lake, boring Secretary of State Warren Christopher, and disorganized Defense Secretary Les Aspin." [Branch, 92] 0 In one-passage WJC talks about asking Gore to lead the independent review of Hazel O'Leary and also having Gore substitute for him at an economic conference in Japan. The latter did not fare well as other nations were offended that Gore, not WJC attended. Gore insisted that WJC needed to go to Japan to redeem himself and the administration for his absence. Gore pointed to a few days in January, but WJC "pronounced them vital to Chelsea's schoolwork. Gore blinked. So what?...Mutual exasperation spiked. 'Al,' Clinton told him, 'I am not going to Japan and leave Chelsea by herself to take these exams.' Gore erupted. He thought Clinton had lost his bearing. They had a big fight, said the president, and were still wrangling about dates for Japan." Branch states that this fight wound up being around the time WJC saw Lewinsky. [Branch, 316-317] 0 On page 396-397 there is a scene, which shows Gore's sense of humor and Gore, WJC, et al working as a team to secure the Cabinet for the second term. 0 Later there is a passage about an exchange between WJC and HRC about Gore trying to hire a second criminal lawyer. HRC already knew he was paying the first one $30,000 per month. The conversation is about a leak of an offer from Jim Neal of TN, the former Watergate prosecutor to defend Gore for free. The exchange is more on ethics of the offer and its leak to the press than about Gore. 0 On Gore's announcing his campaign. "The president had called twice to congratulate Gore for his kickoff events— once from Geneva, hours later from Paris. Clinton thought the only glitches were technical...But Gore got all the big things right. His twofold message was perfect: distinguish himself from Clinton's personal flaws, and tell voters exactly what he would do for them in the White House. The president said it was fine for Gore to call Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky 'inexcusable.' First, it was true. Second, it showed a necessary strength to criticized the boss. Third, Gore would be badgered to death until he did. 'Al,' Clinton told him, `if you thought it would help in the campaign, I would let you flog me at noon right on the doorstep of the Washington Post." [Branch, 553-554] Branch continues that WJC told Gore to ignore reporting that he was offended or critical of his campaign. "On tape, the president said he confided his chief strategic worry only to Gore himself and to Gore's pollster, Mark Penn. The vice president must project his platform—where he stood, precisely how and where he would lead the country—because the Republicans would try to knock him off substance." [Branch, 554] 0 WJC offered critiques of Gore's campaign throughout, but it was always framed as his fear of Gore not succeeding him. For example, "Clinton still thought Gore could win. Most people considered him smart, experience, and motivated. He examined the pitfalls for Gore in a campaign showcasing presidential character over detailed agendas for the country. Reporters called Gore "stiff," but Clinton discounted this liability. He thought Gore's droll sense of humor would wear well over time. Gore also was perceived to be too conventional a Democrat, therefore lacking independence, which called for Gore to emphasize more his own passion and initiatives. Then the president said Gore could have a brooding quality about him, not worrisome or off-putting in itself, but potentially damaging if his serious nature failed to give voters a lifted. Clinton isolated the word "sunny." Gore needed more of it." [Branch, 599] 19 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 0 He also complimented Gore's knowledge of government workings. "Gore knew Washington. Believe me, said the president, his administration would have made many more errors in the first two years had it not been for the vice president." He then goes on to say that WJC suggested Gore find someone who would be a bright spot to run with, perhaps Durbin or Bradley or Kerrey, although he also goes into great detail about the virtues of Mikulski, even though she would never get chosen. How much of this was WJC's emphasis versus Branch's focus on his home state senator is unclear. [Branch, 599, 618-19] WJC criticized Gore for not running on the successes of the administration. "They should be running essentially for a third term, said the president, but they were afraid the Clinton-Gore record would tarnish them with Clinton's character." [Branch, 623] Branch gives WJC's critique of Gore in debate that had been heard before—that Gore lacked style and a light touch. 0 Branch has WJC recalling a conversation between WJC and Gore where "Gore had bared himself in one of their stressful consultations by insisting that he, Gore, was a good politician, elaborating that he meant good on the policy, and also good on the politics, but admitted that he did not instinctively blend the two. Gore said he had to think about it, and Clinton thought this was pretty close to the bone...He had the stuff to be a great president, and this was the message that Clinton must convey somehow without seeming to brag on his own record." [Branch, 623-624] 0 The big passage about Gore begins on page 641 and extends to 645. Branch notes that WJC was unsure at first about recording the details. At the outset it says, "For his own part, Gore was not angry, nor did he blame Clinton for his defeat, but he wanted to acknowledge forthrightly that some people around him did." [Branch, 642] It has WJC acknowledging that Gore's use of him was proper—he was best in the White House. Then he says, "'I think you made a mistake not to use me more in the last ten days," Clinton told Gore, 'but otherwise that was not a big deal. I was much more upset about your message, now that we're being honest." [Branch, 642] Branch recalls WJC saying Gore fought bag saying that "Clinton's drag plagued every direction." Clinton then said that Gore was better at governance than Clinton, and Gore would be better for the nation than Bush, and that he was an "unparalleled" vice president, but that he had "blind spots." Branch writes that WJC kept saying their confrontation was "surreal." o Gore had a "fresh grievance...he wanted Clinton to know that the Buddhist temple fund-raising scandal had been the worst experience of his life. No one had ever questioned his personal integrity, but corrosive publicity and whispers had tormented him now for four years. Gore said he had not been disposed to blame Clinton. However, he remembered telling the president that he found himself the only English-speaking person at one of those Asian fund-raisers. And the president was in charge of the party apparatus that was supposed to screen all the donations for trouble. So he did blame Clinton in a way. The president told me he could scarcely believe the ensuing tales of suspicion. Gore must still be in shock from the election, or unhinged. 'I thought he was in Neverland,' he said." [Branch, 643-644] o Branch continues: "The vice president asked Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. He had supported Clinton all through the impeachment, publicly and privately, while declaring himself disappointed. Yes, said the president. He appreciated that. However, persisted Gore, Clinton did not confide any personal feelings. He never explained exactly what happened. There was little to say, Clinton replied, beyond failure and regret. He was humiliated and angry, had made mistake. He 20 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 had misled the American people, and he was sorry. Gore closed his point with emphasis. Well, he said, this is the first time you have apologized to me personally. Clinton did a double take...Gore treated the confession as a watershed. Their colliding perspectives made both of them angry. Clinton exploded that Gore's reaction was phony. What was so significant here?...Gore exploded back. He was feeling a stubborn repeat of the defensiveness and delayed honesty that somehow cost the election. Clinton's character was at the root of it..." [Branch, 644-45] Other 0 Maggie as Person Recommending Panetta: Unlike in My Life, in Branch's book, it has WJC asking Maggie to compile confidential suggestions for McLarty's replacement. "Williams was shrewd, discreet, and efficient." [Branch, 161] 0 HRC and Haiti Invasion: Branch asked WJC what HRC thought about his foreign policy team's suggestion to invade Haiti. "He said the pell-mell rush to invade was crazy to her. Reacting against the pressure, the lack of options, and his sense of being trapped, she said he was badly served by his foreign policy staff. He said she observed with some suspicion that the chief sponsors of the invasion—Lake, Berger, and Talbott—were the same people who had pushed the ill-fated appointment of Bobby Ray Inman as defense secretary." [Branch, 189] 0 ITAV: ITAV co-author flap in which Sally Quinn spread rumors that HRC had not written the book. Quinn said that HRC had denied credit to the book's collaborator, Barbara Feinman, a friend of Quinn. HRC said Feinman had withdrawn from the project. Branch notes that the White House had draft chapters in HRC's handwriting. (Branch turned this to be about him and how it affected him as a ghostwriter.) From this HRC said that Quinn and her friends launched a rumor that HRC and a female veterinarian of Socks' were "discovered...in flagrante on a bedroom floor in the White House." [Branch, 342-343] 0 Subpoenas of CVC's Friends: Branch tells of how D'Amato, as Chair of the Banking Committee, had subpoenaed all those who might have been in the White House when HRC's Rose firm records were there. This included "some two dozen of Chelsea's sleepovers." Senator Sarbanes quashed the subpoenas for the sleepovers. [Branch, 362] 0 Vernon Jordan Extramarital Sex: In the context of Lewinsky, Branch says of Vernon Jordan, "In our glancing associations, I had picked up from Vernon an attitude toward extramarital sex best described as lighthearted or recreational." [Branch, 495] 0 Gore/HRC ticket: "By the numbers, and Clinton's gut, a Gore-Hillary ticket would give Democrats their best chance to defeat Bush for the White House. 'Hands down,' he [WJC] said, 'but I don't think Al would ever do it." [Branch, 540] 21 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765941 Date: 07/31/2015 0 WJC suggesting Rubin run for NY Senate seat: The passage comes after WJC talks about supporting HRC if she decided to run, which raises a question of whether he had preferred Rubin or whether the two events are unconnected. "When the president had urged him [Rubin] to run for and easily win the New York Senate seat, Rubin recoiled...He could not fathom why Hillary wanted to run now..." [Branch, 557] 0 On trip to South Asia: Branch says that WJC agreed to cancel a stop in Bangladesh, because "of hard intelligence that Osama bin Laden had lined the route with assassins." [Branch, 594] My Life discusses the cancelled trip but does not specify it was because of bin Laden or assassins. [1] ""Gephardt is an asshole," Hillary commented. The president, pointing to my recorders, advised gently that the tapes were on. She winced but shrugged with a smile. "Well, he is," she insisted. In an awkward silence, I backed up both machines to erase the first lady's epithet."

Its attached and pasted below for your review. Thanks Dan A New Approach for Missile Defense By Hillary Onion Iran's development of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles poses a clear and growing threat to the security of our European allies and our own forces stationed in the region. That is why President Obama announced yesterday that the United States is ready to deploy missile defenses in Europe specifically geared toward stopping these missiles. This is a threat we cannot ignore. Previous missile defense efforts have focused on protecting against intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the Jnited States, but our intelligence now shows that the threat from these long-range weapons has not progressed as quickly as had been feared. In contrast, evidence indicates that Iran is developing short- and medium- range missiles that will eventually enable it to target most of Europe, the Caucuses and the Middle East, including U.S. and NATO forces. We deeply appreciate the willingness of the Czech and Polish Governments to host the original missile defense architecture on their soil, and the decision to deploy other systems to better meet this growing threat came as a result of a long and careful review of our policies, capabilities, and requirements. This decision does not alter the unshakeable commitment of the United States to the security of these vital NATO allies. Rather, it reflects our determination to jointly meet the threats that endanger us all. The old focus on long-range missile defense systems left significant gaps in our ability to defend against shorter-range threats, exposing our allies and our forces stationed in Europe. Many experts have also expressed concerns about the testing record and effectiveness of the long-range interceptors that were to be deployed in Poland. Our ile\p:/ approacri is different in a number of ways. First, we will use well-tested missile defense systems, such as the Standard Missile-3, against the current threats.

By working with our allies to build a workable and cost-effective missile defense system in Europe, we can better contribute to the protection of our NATO allies and increase regional stability. For 60 years, the NATO alliance has been a force for peace, prosperity and security in Europe and around the world because of its commitment to collective security: an attack on one ally is an attack on all. An attack on London or Warsaw is an attack on New York or Washington. NATO demonstrated this commitment after the September 11 terrorist attacks, when for the first time, the alliance invoked Article V and NATO sent assets to the United States to help protect us from additional terrorist attacks. UnfoJunately, the old long-range defense plan created the impression of "two-tiers" of security within the alliance by focusing only on theoretical threats that could one day affect the mainland United States, while leaving our European allies vulnerable to very real short- and medium-range missiles. Our new plan corrects this imbalance. We will continue to monitor and counter longer-term threats, but we will work with our allies to protect all NATO territory. We will focus on the most imminent threat, while also developing the capacity to adjust quickly if the threat evolves. Finally, we will engage with Russia as part of our new approach. Russia is also vulnerable to Iran's short- and mediumrange missiles and we will seek to cooperate to address this common threat. I am pleased that the Russians agreed at the Moscow Summit to isi joint threat assessment of the ballistic missile challenges of the 21st century, including from Iran. This is a positive first step and I look forward to future progress. . In short, this hew missile defense plan is more realistic about the threats we face, more reliable in the tools we will use, and more inclusive of the allies we are pledged to protect. While we pii1SUE this new path, we will also redouble our diplomatic efforts to engage Iran and focus its leaders on a clear choice: whether to join the international community as a responsible member or to continue down a path to further isolation. But the security of our allies and our forces cannot wait. That is why we are moving ahead with a new approach for missile defense. 728 words 51 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764095 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764098 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5 DRAFT 09/16/09 DS A New Approach for Missile Defense By Hillary Clinton UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764098 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764098 Date: 07/31/2015 DRAFT 09/16/09 DS 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764098 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764098 Date: 07/31/2015 DRAFT 09/16/09 DS 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764098 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764098 Date: 07/31/2015 DRAFT 09/16/09 DS 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764098 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764100 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Wednesday, September 16, 2009 9:46 PM RE: Revised Op-Ed No - it was collaborative effort -- he put in the edits but he didn't draft it.

Thanks Dan A New Apprca,cn for ;Missile Defense By Hillary Ciinton Iran's development of :lion- and medium-range ballistic missiles poses a clear and growing threat to the security of our European allies and our own forces stationed in the region. That is why President Obama announced yesterday that the United States is ready to deploy missile defenses in Europe specifically geared toward stopping these missiles. This is a threat we cannot ignore. Previous missile defense efforts have focused on protecting against intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the .Jriited but our intelligence now shows that the threat from these long-range weapons has not progressed as quickly as had been feared. In contrast, evidence indicates that Iran is developing short- and medium- range missiles that will everanallv enable it to target most of Europe, the Caucuses and the Middle East, including U.S. and NATO forces. 57 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764100 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764100 Date: 07/31/2015 We deeply appreciate the willingness of the Czech and Polish Governments to host the original missile defense architecture on their soil, and the decision to deploy other systems to better meet this growing threat came as a result of a long and careful review of our policies, capabilities, and requirements. This decision does not alter the unshakeable commitment of the United States to the security of these vital NATO allies. Rather, it reflects our determination to jointly meet the threats that endanger us all. The old focus on long-range missile defense systems left significant gaps in our ability to defend against shorter-range threats, exposing our allies and our forces stationed in Europe. Many experts have also expressed concerns about the testing re-cc,rd and effectiveness of the long-range interceptors that were to be deployed in Poland. Our view approach is different in a number of ways. First, we ;gill use weil-tested missile defense systems, such as the Standard Missile-3, against the current threats. And unlike the old fixed, silo-based interceptors, they will be mobile and able to shift as threats evolve. Second, while previous efforts sought to by-pass NATO in favor of bilateral agreements, the Obama Administration plans to make coordination with NATO a central element of our approach. By working with our allies to build a workable and cost-effective missile defense system in Europe, we can better contribute to the protection of our NATO allies and increase reEional stability.

Hillary: Peter Galbraith just called me and I had a long talk with him. As you know, as chief of US mission to UN in Afghanistan he has protested the election fraud and come into conflict with the head of UN there, who wanted to cover it up. Peter has just come out of Afghanistan after four solid months there. He is pessimistic, says the analogy to Vietnam is not wrong-headed, that comparisons of increasing troop levels there as though the surge in Iraq could be replicated are misguided, but thinks there is an approach that should be attempted that involves the vote recount and trying to replace Karzai. He wishes to speak with you directly. He says that he has difficulty communicating with Holbrooke, not because he can't reach him, but because he finds Dick disjointed these days. Peter is on a plane right now to Norway, then London, then to NY on Wed, then could go to DC. He says you can reach him through the US mission to the UN office. FYI, from Wash Post today: "The issue of how seriously to take the fraud charges, and whether to force a runoff, has also caused a rare public rift within the international community here. The senior American official at the U.N. mission, Peter W. Galbraith, left the country abruptly Sunday in a dispute with the mission director, Norwegian Kai Eide. "Galbraith had pushed for an exhaustive probe. Sources who are familiar with the dispute but are not authorized to. speak on the record said Eide argued that the international community should not press too hard because it could undermine national stability. Galbraith had been convinced that Karzai could not win without fraud and had tried to reduce the number of polling stations in some areas in the south, the incumbent's ethnic stronghold, said one diplomatic source. Eide and others, the source said, were convinced that Karzai would win in any case and that any irregularities could be smoothed over, as they were in the 2004 presidential election that Karzai won by a safe margin."

Jane Smiley Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novelist and Essayist Posted: September 17, 2009 02:56 PM UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764139 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764139 Date: 07/31/2015 HuffPost Book Review: Republican Gomorrah About twenty years ago, I read an article about a death row inmate who had shot a clerk in a convenience store. The way the murder was presented by the man on death row was mysterious--his hand just rose up and the gun went off. Shooting the clerk in the face in the midst of a robbery wasn't in fact his fault. He never said, "I shot a man." It just happened. I thought of that man while reading Max Blumenthal's terrific, but also, of course, appalling new book, Republican Gomorrah. Apparently there isn't a single person in the present incarnation of the Republican party who does anything. Things happen--God does it. Satan does it. No Republican is an agent of his or her own success or failure, sin or redemption. It just happens. The consequences of this lack of responsibility are there for all to see--screaming threats, guns at rallies, unhinged behavior every time a Republican doesn't feel the way he or she wants to feel, absolute sense of powerlessness leading directly to an absolute will to power. Because that was the thing that struck me about the murderer in the 7-11--he had the power and in his own last moments, the clerk knew it. But the killer, no matter how well armed, never felt it. Republican Gomorrah is a frightening book because it is clear to all of us on the outside that the various Republican operatives who surround James Dobson and his ilk have no consciences and will stop at nothing. They invoke the name of God for purposes that shame God absolutely--hurting, destroying, maiming, and damning others who either don't accept their beliefs or don't acknowledge their power and righteousness. Of course that is frightening. But Blumenthal's cast of characters, beginning with Dobson and his prodigal son, Ryan, and including John Hagee, Sarah Palin, Ralph Reed, Charles Colson, Judith Reisman, Christina Regnery, Donald Wildmon, et al. strike the reader as above all else very small--egocentric, narrow minded, uneducated, selfish, and resentful. Each of these qualities is destructive in and of itself The combination is turning out to be coercive. Even those of us who are immune to the emotions these people play upon are getting more and more nervous about the power that they wish to exert. Blumenthal does two things that no one else I have read manages to do--the first of these is that he organizes the network. He shows how Ted Bundy is connected to James Dobson is connected to Gary Bauer is connected to Erik Prince is connected to Ralph Reed is connected to Jack Abramoff is connected to Tom Delay is connected to Tony Perkins is connected to David Duke is connected to Mel Gibson, and so forth, and in the course of tracing these connections, he informs us, or reminds us, of the crimes and misdemeanors these people have committed. Two of my favorites are James Dobson's son Ryan's messy divorce (Dad seems to have paid the settlement--did he not dare to discipline? Or did he discipline too much?) and David Vitter's habitual recourse to a brothel in New Orleans where Republicans "wanted to be spanked and tortured and wear stockings--Republicans have impeccable taste in silk stockings" (the madam is talking about men). Republican Gomorrah is full of crimes-both those we've already heard of, such as Abramoffs and Ted Haggard's, and those we haven't (there is good evidence that Texas billionaire T. Cullen Davis, funder of the right wing Council For National Policy, ordered hits on his estranged wife, and succeeded in murdering his step-daughter and the wife's boyfriend). This aspect of the book reminds me of a Scottish novel called The Private Memoirs And Confessions Of A Justified Sinner by James Hogg, in which, once a man believes he is among the saved, he can commit any sin he wants to and be sure he will go to heaven. Once Davis was "saved," for example, he said, "My goal is to get to heaven. I'll do anything it takes to get there, and I'm not going to let anything stand in my way." He must have thought getting to heaven was just another power play. And power plays are the key to right wing psychology. Right wing psychology is the other thing that Blumenthal has to offer. At the periphery of this world is your run-of-the-mill bully, a man like Jack Abramoff, whose brutality is well remembered by his high school classmates, but who sang like a bird once he was caught. At the center of is James Dobson, a much more destructive figure than Abramoff, who advocates, in the strongest terms, child beating, and not only child-beating, but dog-beating. At one point he brags about going after the family canine (who weighed twelve pounds) and engaging in "the most vicious fight ever staged UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764139 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764139 Date: 07/31/2015 between man and beast." As for children, the goal is to keep beating the child until "he wants(s) to crumple on the breast of his parent." In other words, Dobson is a proud sadist who thinks sadism is kind of funny, and who, over the years, has successfully advocated sadism as the only workable form of child-rearing. It order to understand the deeply disturbing effect Dobson and his theories have had on our culture, Blumenthal cites Erich Fromm's Escape from Freedom, about the psychology of Nazism and authoritarianism, and Eric Hoffer's The True Believer. Insofar as he finds the documentation, Blumenthal points out how many of these powerful Evangelical Christians were beaten and abused as children (including Dobson). It's a high number. The beatings, often arbitrary, cruel, and frequent, were then, in many cases, backed up with constant lessons about God--that he is arbitrary, that he is cruel, that he demands obedience above all things, and that he surpasseth understanding. The point of these exercises is to establish the powerlessness of the child, his shame and guilt as a worthless sinner, and his absolute fear of thinking for himself He will then take his place in the hierarchy and thereby reinforce the existence of the hierarchy. Blumenthal goes pretty far with this psychology, but, in my view, not far enough. I'm sure he was reared by liberal parents, who gave him a sense of responsibility, curiosity, and autonomy, and since he is only in his thirties, I don't think that he really empathizes with the tortured and damaged souls that he has been interviewing and watching for the last few years. I don't think he understands their fear--how deep it is, how constant it is, and how arousing it is. I don't think, in fact, that Max Blumenthal looks within and sees evil. I think he looks within, and says, "I'm okay; you're okay." That's the goal of liberal parenting, and as we can tell by statistics he cites concerning unwed pregnancy, divorce, and occurrence of STDs, liberal parenting works-atheists and agnostics, for example, have a much lower rate of divorce than Evangelicals, and states that have sex education in the schools, rather than abstinence-only education, have lower rates of teen pregnancy. But a child who is beaten enough eventually comes to understand two things above all--that the world makes no sense (and so why try to make sense of it?) and that the world is so dangerous that to be oneself, or even to try to figure out what oneself might be, is a death-defying exercise. There is safety only in two things--conforming to a group and, as a part of that group, dominating and even destroying other groups. The rules of the group can be anything at all, as long as the members of the group abide by them. And other groups have to abide by them, too, or the painful and arbitrary rules that group abides by are meaningless. The beaten child's sense of terror can only be assuaged by evanescent feelings of power, because in relation to his parents and to God, he is defined as powerless. When he "crumples" on the "loving" breast of his parent (and in my view a person who administers a beating to a living being who is 1/16th his size doesn't know what love is) he accepts his powerlessness and he also accepts that power is what defines this life. That's where your freedom and mine come in. Many of the Evangelicals Blumenthal discusses are Christian Dominionists--that is, they differ from the Taliban only in their choice of doctrine. Their uses of that doctrine (to dehumanize women and other groups, to never share power, to control every aspect of every life within their power, and to create society as a steeply hierarchical structure with them at the top) are those of the Taliban. It's an eye-opener to read about R.J. Rushdoony, son of Armenian immigrants who fled the Armenian genocide of 1915. You would think that a man whose family escaped mass murder would go on to espouse peace, love, and understanding, but Rushdoony went the other way, taking literally the 613 laws in the Book of Leviticus. In his book, The Institutes of Biblical Law, he advocates capital punishment for "disobedient children, unchaste women, apostates, blasphemers, practitioners of witchcraft, adulterers," and homosexuals. Gary North, the Presbyterian Christian Reconstructionist, is his son-in-law, and, while not backing down on the mass death penalty, advocates stoning rather than burning at the stake, because stoning is cheaper (and of course that is a factor, because there would be a lot of people to exterminate). As for who would be doing the killing (of you and me, if they could catch us), well, Christians would, but not because they wanted to. Ever unable to accept responsibility, they assign agency to God, who wants us killed, who will beat us until we "crumple" on his "loving" breast, a God who has given us all sorts of talents, skills, and interests, but is, like these Christian Dominionists, interested only in power. I believe his motto is "Adore me or I will hurt you." Can you believe in a God so small? When I was a parent of young children, I, too, got frustrated, and I, too, thought a spanking might be a good thing. I soon realized that my motives for administering physical punishment were highly suspect--more anger and frustration than care for the child or knowledge about effective methods. I then saw a show about child-rearing, in which a woman who firmly believed in childUNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764139 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764139 Date: 07/31/2015 between man and beast." As for children, the goal is to keep beating the child until "he wants(s) to crumple on the breast of his parent." In other words, Dobson is a proud sadist who thinks sadism is kind of funny, and who, over the years, has successfully advocated sadism as the only workable form of child-rearing. It order to understand the deeply disturbing effect Dobson and his theories have had on our culture, Blumenthal cites Erich Fromm's Escape from Freedom, about the psychology of Nazism and authoritarianism, and Eric Hoffer's The True Believer. Insofar as he finds the documentation, Blumenthal points out how many of these powerful Evangelical Christians were beaten and abused as children (including Dobson). It's a high number. The beatings, often arbitrary, cruel, and frequent, were then, in many cases, backed up with constant lessons about God--that he is arbitrary, that he is cruel, that he demands obedience above all things, and that he surpasseth understanding. The point of these exercises is to establish the powerlessness of the child, his shame and guilt as a worthless sinner, and his absolute fear of thinking for himself. He will then take his place in the hierarchy and thereby reinforce the existence of the hierarchy. Blumenthal goes pretty far with this psychology, but, in my view, not far enough. I'm sure he was reared by liberal parents, who gave him a sense of responsibility, curiosity, and autonomy, and since he is only in his thirties, I don't think that he really empathizes with the tortured and damaged souls that he has been interviewing and watching for the last few years. I don't think he understands their fear--how deep it is, how constant it is, and how arousing it is. I don't think, in fact, that Max Blumenthal looks within and sees evil. I think he looks within, and says, "I'm okay; you're okay." That's the goal of liberal parenting, and as we can tell by statistics he cites concerning unwed pregnancy, divorce, and occurrence of STDs, liberal parenting works-atheists and agnostics, for example, have a much lower rate of divorce than Evangelicals, and states that have sex education in the schools, rather than abstinence-only education, have lower rates of teen pregnancy. But a child who is beaten enough eventually comes to understand two things above all--that the world makes no sense (and so why try to make sense of it?) and that the world is so dangerous that to be oneself, or even to try to figure out what oneself might be, is a death-defying exercise. There is safety only in two things--conforming to a group and, as a part of that group, dominating and even destroying other groups. The rules of the group can be anything at all, as long as the members of the group abide by them. And other groups have to abide by them, too, or the painful and arbitrary rules that group abides by are meaningless. The beaten child's sense of terror can only be assuaged by evanescent feelings of power, because in relation to his parents and to God, he is defined as powerless. When he "crumples" on the "loving" breast of his parent (and in my view a person who administers a beating to a living being who is 1/16th his size doesn't know what love is) he accepts his powerlessness and he also accepts that power is what defines this life. That's where your freedom and mine come in. Many of the Evangelicals Blumenthal discusses are Christian Dominionists--that is, they differ from the Taliban only in their choice of doctrine. Their uses of that doctrine (to dehumanize women and other groups, to never share power, to control every aspect of every life within their power, and to create society as a steeply hierarchical structure with them at the top) are those of the Taliban. It's an eye-opener to read about R.J. Rushdoony, son of Armenian immigrants who fled the Armenian genocide :. of 1915. You would think that a man whose family escaped mass murder would go on to espouse peace, love, and understanding, but Rushdoony went the other way, taking literally the 613 laws in the Book of Leviticus. In his book, The Institutes of Biblical Law, he advocates capital punishment for "disobedient children, unchaste women, apostates, blasphemers, practitioners of witchcraft, adulterers," and homosexuals. Gary North, the Presbyterian Christian Reconstructionist, is his son-in-law, and, while not backing down on the mass death penalty, advocates stoning rather than burning at the stake, because stoning is cheaper (and of course that is a factor, because there would be a lot of people to exterminate).

Works with horses, dogs, and other animals, too. It was then I decided that if I, in my human weakness, could put two and two together concerning free will and proper behavior, surely God could, also. I didn't want to believe in a God who was a smaller being than myself. And I don't. The ray of hope in Blumenthal's book is that the right-wingers he talks about tend to be so psychologically unstable that they don't have much staying power--think Ted Haggard. But they have numbers. The bad thing about that is that they could take control. The defeat of Sarah Palin, Conrad Burns (R-MT), George Allen (RVA), Rick Santorum (R-PA), James Talent (R-MO), and Mike DeWine (R-OH) brought us "back from the brink" according to the website Theocracy Watch. But only back from the brink. The good thing is that they would not be able to maintain what we call a government for very long (see George W. Bush). The bad thing is that they would destroy the country as we know it while they were trying. If I take the long view, well, I think, Stalinism lasted about 25 years, Nazism 12. The Iranian Mullahs have been at it for 30 years. Russia and Germany survived, Iran might, as well. But generations were lost in all these places. And Stalin and Hitler didn't have nuclear weapons. I think about the 22-year-old clerk in that convenience store, looking down the barrel of that pistol. He probably had no idea that his killer had no sense of agency, hardly even knew what he was doing, was seeing his hand as separate from himself. But I have to feel sorry for the killer, too, subject to feelings that he could not label that were terrifying and overpowering. I bet he was beaten, shamed, and neglected as a child. I bet, afterward, he wished someone, somehow, had stopped him.

Anyway, I've taken an aspirin — and thank you profoundly for a great event, and, of course, for the gracious personal touches. S.

Let me begin, though, by echoing the President's statement yesterday that he has approved the recommendations of the Pentagon and his entire national security team to deploy a stronger and more comprehensive missile defense system in Europe. This decision came after a lengthy and in-depth review of our assessment of the threat posed by Iran's ballistic missile program, and the technology that we have to confront it. And it is a decision that will leave America stronger, and more capable of defending our troops, our interests, and our Allies. 1 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Let's be clear about what this new system will do relative to the previous program — which was many years from being deployed. With the President's decision, we will deploy missile defense sooner than the previous program, so that we will be able to swiftly counter the threat posed by Iran's short and medium-range ballistic missiles. We will deploy missile defense that is more comprehensive than the previous program, with more interceptors in more places, and a better capacity to protect all of our friends and allies in the region. We will deploy technology that is actually proven so that we do not waste time or taxpayer money, and we will preserve the flexibility to adjust our approach to the threat as it evolves. So make no mistake: if you support missile defense, then this is a stronger and smarter approach than the previous program. It does what missile defense is actually supposed to do — it defends America and our Allies. 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Now I know we have heard criticism of this plan from some quarters. But much of it is not connected to facts. We are not "shelving" missile defense, we are deploying missile defense sooner than the Bush Administration planned to, and we are deploying a more comprehensive system. We are not reducing our capacity to protect our interests and our Allies from Iran, we are increasing that capacity and focusing it on our understanding of Iran's capabilities. And most of all, we would never walk away from our Allies — instead, we are deploying a system that enhances their security, that advances our cooperation with NATO, and that actually places more resources in more countries. Two of those Allies are Poland and the Czech Republic, and we deeply appreciate their willingness to host parts of the previously planned system. We will continue to cooperate closely with both nations — for instance, through rotation of a Patriot battery in Poland, and close missile defense research and development work with Czech companies. As we explore land based interceptors going forward, we have made it clear that those two,countries will be at the top of the list. And let me underscore that we are bound together by our common commitment as NATO Allies, and also by deep historical, economic, and cultural ties that will never be broken. 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Finally, let me reiterate what the President said yesterday: this decision was not about Russia; it was about Iran and the threat that its ballistic missile programs continue to pose. And because of this decision, we will be in a far stronger position to deal with that threat, and to do so with technology that works. My main reason for being here today is to give you a review of our agenda next week in New York. Before I get to specifics, though, I want to share a quick story. A few days ago, a friend, knowing I was heading to the UN General Assembly, gave me a cartoon from The New Yorker. It showed a delegate in his seat at the United Nations passing a note to the delegate next to him. And the caption read: "Shhh. It's a birthday card for Lichtenstein. Sign it and pass it on." 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Well, comic relief is essential in our line of work. But as with most humor, this cartoon is also commentary. And it represents one view of the United Nations — a caricature of what multilateral organizations spend their time doing. As President Obama leads our US delegation at this year's General Assembly, I hope we can demonstrate that the United Nations does not have to be just a diplomatic talk shop on Pt Avenue. At its best, it can be an institution that brings the world's nations together to solve global problems through adherence to rules and principles set forth in the UN Charter. And it is the responsibility of the 192 member nations — during the General Assembly and beyond -- to capitalize on the opportunity for global cooperation and progress that the UN affords. 5 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 I outlined earlier this summer at the Council on Foreign Relations the Obama Administration's efforts to advance our interests and solve today's problems through a global architecture of cooperation. We must begin by taking responsibility ourselves — something that under President Obama we have already begun to do on issues from climate change to non-proliferation. And we have called on others to do the same. By building and strengthening partnerships, institutions, and international regimes, we can forge a global consensus and use that leverage to offer clear incentives to all nations to cooperate and live up to their responsibilities, and strong disincentives to act in isolation or provoke conflict. The United Nations and this month's General Assembly offer a venue and a forum for nations to work together to live up to the founding charter and abide by and enforce international rules in service of global peace and security. 6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 This is not only critical to the effectiveness of global institutions; it is essential to meeting the global challenges of the 21' century. This is what Strobe describes as "The Great Experiment" — and I believe it is the heart of America's mission in the world today. Few issues reflect the need for a global architecture of cooperation more than nuclear non-proliferation. No issue poses a more serious threat to our security or the world's, and it will be a main topic of discussion next week and beyond. The President outlined a robust and ambitious arms control and nonproliferation agenda in Prague earlier this year that can move us toward a world without nuclear weapons. As the President said, this won't be easy. It might not even happen in our lifetimes. And, as long as nuclear weapons exist in the world, the United States will maintain a safe, secure and effective deterrent capability. 7 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Next week, the President will chair a meeting of the U.N. Security Council on nonproliferation and disarmament. He will emphasize the importance of strengthening the international nuclear nonproliferation regime — and the critical role the Council must play in enforcing compliance with nonproliferation obligations. The President also has asked me to lead the U.S. delegation to a conference on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and this will be the first time a Secretary of State has attended. It will give me the opportunity to underscore the importance of the CTBT to the global nonproliferation effort and to broader U.S. security interests. Strengthening the non-proliferation regime means working to bring other nations into compliance. This includes North Korea and Iran. Let me take a moment to speak about Iran, another key topic on my agenda next week. 8 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 To begin, it is important to recall what's really at issue, and what's really at stake. Iran has refused for years to address the international community's deep concerns about its nuclear program, underscored repeatedly by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the UN Security Council. Iran's continued failure to live up to its obligations carries profound consequences — for the security of the United States and our allies; for progress on global non-proliferation and progress towards disarmament; for the credibility of the Security Council and the Non-Proliferation Treaty; and for stability in the Middle East and beyond. Our concern is not Iran's right to develop peaceful nuclear energy, but its responsibility to demonstrate that its program is intended exclusively for peaceful purposes. This is not hard to do. Iran's continued refusal to cooperate has damaged the credibility of its claim that it does not seek a nuclear weapon. 9 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Iran faces a choice. The international community has made abundantly clear what is possible for all Iranians if Iran lives up to its responsibilities on the nuclear issue — the benefits of economic connections to the rest of the world, cooperation on peaceful nuclear energy, and partnership in education and science. But there will be accompanying costs for Iran's continued defiance more isolation and economic pressure, and less possibility of progress for the people of Iran. The Obama Administration has clearly conveyed our readiness to engage directly with Iran. We know that dialogue doesn't guarantee success. But we also know that our past refusal to engage yielded no progress on the nuclear issue, nor did it stem Iran's support for terrorist groups. Over the past eight months, the President has reached out both to the Iranian government and people. We have made clear our desire to resolve issues with Iran diplomatically. Iran must now decide whether to join us in this effort. 10 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Yet, since June, we have seen the Iranian government engaged in a mockery of the justice system, including show trials, and suppression of free speech. The Iranian government seeks a sense of justice in the world, but stands in the way of the justice it seeks. Nonetheless, we remain ready to engage with Iran — not as an end in itself, but as a means of addressing the growing concerns that we and our international partners have about Iran's actions, especially on the nuclear issue. In New York next week, I will meet with my counterparts from the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China and Germany to discuss the way forward and prepare for talks that the European Union's Javier Solana is arranging at the beginning of October. Our message will be clear: We are serious. We will soon see if the Iranians are serious. This is not about process for the sake of process. In New York, we will work with our partners to put Iran's choice into focus and to stress that engagement must produce real results and that we have no appetite for talk without action. 11 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Let me also highlight a few other issues that I will be addressing at the General Assembly and in the months ahead: Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan; development; and women. Iraq has made important strides with the support of the United States and the international community to build a more secure and hopeful future for its people. We look forward to the parliamentary election next January as an important milestone in this journey, and pledge to work with Iraqis and the international community, including the invaluable UN Mission to Iraq, to make these elections a success. As a result of our common efforts, our relationship with Iraq can now enter into a period of transition as our military draws down and the role of civilian agencies increases to better meet the needs of the future and ensure a stable, sovereign and independent Iraq that contributes to peace and security in the Middle East. This reflects no lessening of our commitment — on the contrary, it demonstrates that we have entered a new, sustained and more mature partnership that will serve both of countries far into the future. I'm pleased that Vice President Biden, accompanied by my Deputy Jim Steinberg, recently returned to Iraq to continue our robust engagement with Iraq's leaders. 12 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 The partnership between our countries will continue to build security cooperation while strengthening diplomatic relations and building stronger ties in commerce, rule of law, education, science and culture through our Strategic Framework Agreement coordinating committee, a session of which Prime Minister Maliki and I co-chaired in July. [We'll seek to hold another session in the coming months]. Also on my docket for the General Assembly will be meetings related to Afghanistan and Pakistan. President Obama has stated our core goal: to disrupt, dismantle, and ultimately defeat al-Qaida and its extremist allies, and to prevent their return to either country. This is a goal we share with Afghanistan, with Pakistan and with the international community. In fact, pursuing al-Qaida and the Taliban was the basis of the original UN resolutions that authorized U.S. military action after the September 1 1 th attacks and created ISAF, the International Security Assistance Force of 42 nations helping Afghans secure their country. 13 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Our long-term security, and that of our friends around the world, is connected to the security and well-being of the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan. To effectively squeeze the extremists fighting to destabilize both countries, the Afghan and Pakistani governments must be better able to secure their territory from extremists and meet the basic needs of their populations. The recent Afghan elections at once illustrate the promise and the challenges of Afghanistan. Alongside our partners and the UN, we will continue to encourage all parties to respect the international and Afghan electoral institutions charged with determining the final outcome of the election process. When the next president is inaugurated, we will work to step up the level of international engagement with the new government in a strong partnership to strengthen governance at all levels. As we address these urgent challenges, we will also work on other issues that have implications for American security and interests. Following up on my trip to Africa last month, and the President's visit to Ghana earlier in the year, he will host a lunch for leaders of sub-Saharan Africa during the General Assembly. I will meet with Costa Rican President Oscar Arias to continue our joint efforts to resolve the crisis in Honduras and 14 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 help that country restore the democratic constitutional order. I will also be meeting with donors and other stakeholders committed to helping Haiti respond to the economic dislocation caused by the global economic crisis and the hurricane. And I will continue discussions with our allies and other partners in Asia about the situation in Burma. If the global architecture of cooperation demands responsibility of us and our partners, it also offers opportunities. Just as we are focusing intensively on urgent challenges like Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan and Pakistan, so too are we pursuing a positive agenda devoted to expanding opportunity so that more people in more places can fulfill their dreams and live up to their God-given potential. And I will focus considerable attention on two areas of opportunity — development and women. Many of you have heard me describe our plans to integrate diplomacy and development as two of the three pillars of our foreign policy, along with defense. 15 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 I have talked in different venues about the Obama Administration's commitment to leading with diplomacy and engaging other nations -with and beyond government. Next week, I will outline how we will approach development in tandem with our diplomacy — to be effective and efficient and enable the State Department, USAID, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation to pursue and execute 21st century foreign policy goals. The foundation for our approach will be principles that will move us away from top-down assistance that too often fails to meet the needs of those we are attempting to help, or has only short-term effect. To solve the complex problems of today's world — where issues like poverty, hunger, health, and climate change intersect — we want to focus on root causes, and on country-driven efforts that are comprehensive, last over time, leverage existing multi-lateral institutions and foster new partnerships, and coordinate donors and stakeholders strategically. 16 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 I will have the chance to detail this approach during my stay in New York, and I also look forward to highlighting these issues when I participate in an event that the UN Secretary General will host on food security. To successfully integrate our diplomacy and development goals at the State Department and USAID, we have launched a Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review — and, I regret to say that, in so doing, we have added another acronym to the State lexicon: QDDR. The QDDR, led by Deputy Secretary of State Jack Lew, is a broad examination of our structure, policies, and budget, and will lead to better accountability and measurable results throughout the department. Finally, our delegation, and I personally, will work to advance international efforts to recognize women as key drivers of economic progress and social stability, as well as to address impediments to women's empowerment and advancement, particularly sexual and gender-based violence. 17 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 I will chair a session of the Security Council and will speak on behalf of the adoption of a resolution on "women, peace and security" which will endorse concrete measures to implement Security Council Resolution 1820 and address sexual and gender-based violence as a tactic of war. I saw the scale of misery caused by this violence on my recent trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo, where I met with rape survivors as well as those trying to assist them. Next week, I will be speaking with other foreign ministers and heads of state about strategies to end this violence and to ensure that those who commit atrocities are prosecuted and not treated with impunity. I will also work with women leaders at the General Assembly to highlight the importance of raising the status of girls and women and investing in their potential — through education, economic development, and health care. If women are free from violence, and accorded their rights, they can contribute to their local economies and become change agents generating greater prosperity and stability for their families, communities, and societies as a whole. 18 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 Every day, I go to work at the State Department and am reminded that the world has given us no shortage of urgent crises or long-range challenges. Our agenda is full and it is ambitious — from Northeast Asia to sub-Saharan Africa to Europe and the Americas. And we will remain vigilant and pro-active about all of the issues, even as our plate seems to get fuller by the day. And I will be relying on all of you to share your expertise and advice in helping us do our jobs as well as we can to serve our nation and the American people. At this time of year, as we contemplate the agenda at the UN next week, and what the world will hold in the months and years beyond, it seems appropriate to think of new beginnings. Not only because the nations of the world are about to meet — which is an opportunity -- but because we are also celebrating the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the Jewish High Holy Days. It is a time of reflection and renewal for hundreds of millions of our fellow citizens around the globe. A time when we can borrow from all of the world's great faiths to take stock, re-assess, and re-commit ourselves to the values and ideals that move us forward. And it is in that spirit that I am approaching the General Assembly and the months ahead. 19 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764620 Date: 07/31/2015 I appreciate this opportunity to be here today.

Vladimir Popovkin says that U.S. President Barack Obama's decision to dump the Bush-era plan to deploy missile defense sites in Eastern Europe has made the deployment of Iskander short-range missiles in Russia's Kaliningrad region unnecessary.

Eastern Daylight Time Subj: list of 5 update Hello Melanne, Well the list of 5 continues to be a Quizomba dance (a bit forward, a bit backward). On the positive. The two, Mosala and Pitchen, that had been commanders in Kimia II, have finally been changed. They are supposedly in route to Kinshasa. That means none of the 5 are now in active operational command position. This is positive. All 5 are supposedly in Kinshasa, but not yet confirmed. 2 are in the central prison in Kinshasa. On the negative. None of the 5 have been charged. 2 are arbitrarily detained. More negative. We received attached request this week for support to investigate the cases of the 5 officers. While only about $70,000, the request is strange and worrying. In 4 of the cases an open file in North or South Kivu military prosecutors office exists. Only in the case of should the Military Prosecutor General need to be involved, given the rank of the suspect. In all 5 cases the local military prosecutor had opened a legal investigation and had interviewed all the victims. The cases were stopped by political or financial intervention. Now the request indicates the Military Prosecutor General needs to fly all over the country to investigate. Not only is the request 18 months late in coming, it makes no sense. In 4 of 5 cases, the military prosecutor in the Province has jurisdiction. They just need to continue their work. With the suspects all in Kinshasa, it makes their work more difficult. Is someone trying to make some money? Were they given the impression that the international community is so interested in this case, but the government is not? Or is there so little trust in the local prosecutors that central government wants more control? Or do governmental officials know so little about how criminal cases function that they are inadvertently delaying procedures. Conclusion.

We're sharing the FT op-ed page tomorrow. Here's my piece.... Thanks again for Friday. Much favorable comment. Good luck at the UNGA. President Barack Obama's announcement of a new system.for protecting America's allies against Iranian missiles has ignited charges that he is scaling back the one he inherited from George W. Bush as a concession to the Russians. In fact, the Obama plan is a big improvement on the Bush one, and it is designed to counter an evolving Iranian threat, not to mollify Russian anxieties. Mr Bush's decision to put 10 missile interceptors in Poland and an associated radar in the Czech Republic was based on a concern that Iran was developing long-range rockets that could hit the US. The Bush system would have been less effective against shorterrange Iranian missiles, and it would have left much of Europe, notably including America's ally Turkey, unprotected. Over the last several years, the Iranians have shifted their efforts from developing a few long-range rockets to deploying large numbers of shorter-range ones that pose an immediate danger to southeastern Europe and the Middle East, as well as to US forces stationed there. Unlike Mr Bush's, Mr Obama's plan will quickly field a missile-defence capability to address an existing threat. It can be upgraded to deal with longer-range Iranian missiles in the future. The Central Europeans who have reacted to the decision with apprehension or alarm should recognize that the replacement of a conceptually flawed plan with a more credible one strengthens the bonds of transatlantic defence. The view from Moscow has been clouded by outright paranoia. Military experts there suspected that the US rockets in Poland, while advertised as defensive, could be used offensively, even pre-emptively, against Russia. Laying to rest that far-fetched scenario was not the prime motivation for Mr Obama's decision, nor should it have been. However, by removing what has been a gratuitous irritant in bilateral relations, the president has improved the prospects for US-Russian arms control negotiations now underway in Geneva. Those talks could produce by December a new treaty reducing numbers of strategic that is, intercontinental — weapons. If ratified by the US Senate (which will not be easy, given the ferocity of the partisan wars in Washington), the US and Russia will be on track for further reductions in the future. Mr Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, who are due to meet in New York this week, have jointly called for the eventual goal of eliminating nuclear weapons. As they and their successors take steps in that direction, they will have to grapple with a UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764643 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764643 Date: 07/31/2015 stark paradox of the nuclear age: mutual deterrence depends on each side being vulnerable to retaliation from the other. If either side has enough defences to trump the other side's offence, the mutuality of deterrence breaks down and one or both sides will be on hair-trigger, making war more likely in a crisis. American statesmen pounded this inescapable truth into the heads of their initially sceptical Soviet counterparts 40 years ago. The result was the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty signed by Richard Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev in 1972. By limiting the defensive capability of both superpowers, the ABM treaty was a necessary companion piece to a series of treaties setting ceilings on offensive weaponry. Because nuclear weapons were expected to with us forever, the ABM treaty was meant to last in perpetuity. While the Soviets were converted to the logic of restricting defence, Ronald Reagan was not. The late US president championed the development of a space-based comprehensive shield that would make offensive weapons — and therefore mutual deterrence — "impotent and obsolete." Many experts believed Reagan's vision, which they derisively nicknamed Star Wars, was an impossible dream. So did his successor, George H. W. Bush, who treated the program with benign neglect while negotiating with the Russians in the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) begun by Mr Reagan. The second president Bush reversed his father's policy. He greatly weakened the START process, pulled the US out of the ABM treaty and sought to revive a national missile defence (NMD) system. His decision to build the interceptor and radar sites in Poland and the Czech Republic was, as one of his aides told me at the time, in large measure about "pouring concrete for what will eventually be a global NMD." Key officials of the Obama administration — including the president himself, who studied arms control in college — understand the linkage between reduction of offences and regulation of defences. However, they have avoided raising that issue in the context of last week's decision. That is partly because they want their plan to be judged on its own merits, vis-à-vis the Iranian threat. But it is because they have more than enough fights with the Republicans without further energizing the right wing by trying to reinstate the principles of the ABM treaty. Yet sooner or later the US administration will have to grasp the nettle of regulating strategic defences. Otherwise, continued reductions in strategic nuclear offences will be either impossible or, worse, dangerous. The author is president of the Brookings Institution.

Paris-based UNESCO is choosing a new director in voting that began Thursday and continues Monday. Austrian Ferrero-Waldner was considered a strong candidate. The front-runner is Egyptian Farouk Hosni, opposed by Jewish activists. He threatened last year to burn Israeli books, but later apologized. The Austrian Foreign Ministry announced Sunday that Ferrero-Waldner was withdrawing "for the greater good of the organization and European unity," and urged respect for UNESCO's ideals. Other candidates are former Bulgarian foreign minister Irina Bokova and Ecuadorean diplomat Ivonne Baki.

The prime minister, however, urged the Leader of the Opposition and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and her allies to return to parliament for raising their voices. Recalling her experience as the opposition leader, Hasina said, "We used to walk out from parliament sessions, boycott it but we used to return to the House again." Meanwhile, the parliament session was adjourned till 4:00pm on. October 4. Sheikh Hasina, also ruling Awami League (AL) president, urged people to keep vigil against recurrence of incidents like BDR mutiny to reverse the democratic strides. She also urged the people not to be misguided by any 'false campaign.' "While running the government and doing development works, we find continued obstacles in every step from the 'special quarter', benefited by undemocratic government, who earlier had captured power through undemocratic means, So, I urge the countrymen to be cautious so that the democratic trend continues," she told the parliament.

Inter-Parliamentary Union decided to observe September 15 of every year as International Day of Democracy in the context of a resolution adopted by the United Nations in 2007. The International Day of Democracy was first observed in 2008 but Bangladesh could not observe the day as unelected caretaker government ruled the country during that time. Referring to the sugar price, Sheikh Hasina told the House that a big conspiracy is going on regarding sugar price. Price of sugar is being raised though stock of sugar is available. "We are investigating the matter and action will be taken against those who are responsible for it," said the Leader of the House. On plotting of the conspiracy, Sheikh Hasina said people who wanted to sit in power without election are still hatching conspiracy against her government. Pointing out the two years of the past caretaker government, Hasina said, "Various formulas were floated during that time by those who would lose security money if contest any election." She also disclosed in parliament that many proposals were given to her UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764663 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764663 Date: 07/31/2015 (Hasina) during that time including offering her the status of a prime minister without participating in elections, which she rejected. Without mentioning any name, the prime minister said, those who wanted to capture power by creating new political parties are still continuing their activities to capture power. "Those persons who had failed to float a new political party, exploit people, get huge interest from poor people and remain in disguise of good men wearing good dresses are still busy hatching a conspiracy against the government," said Hasina, who was sent to a makeshift jail during the anti-graft drive of the past caretaker government. She, however, hailed the caretaker regime for holding a free and fair election, which she claimed as the best election since 1973. The AL Chief Hasina told lawmakers that the country has been pushed back economically, socially and culturally by applying the undemocratic and military rule while only a special quarter became rich but the majority people remained ignored. The premier vowed that her government is committed to materialise all its election pledges to fulfil the desire of the people. Hasina said her party believes in the definition of democracy given by Abraham Lincoln who said Democracy means--by the People, of the People, for the People. "But this democracy has been absent in the country since 1975 when the military ruler grabbed power throwing an elected government," she said. AL leaders Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, Suranjit Sengupta, Abdul Latif Siddiqui, Advocate Fazle Rabbi Mia, Abdul Matin Khasru, Bangladesh Workers' Party President Rashed Khan Menon, among others, took part in the discussion.

We do not yet have a copy of the complaint and we do not know as yet whether the US Attorney's Office has in fact been served (an AUSA contact of ours did confirm that a complaint was filed with the clerk of the court). The details are also sketchy, but the complaint was apparently filed by an FSO. According to the inquiry that came in from the press office, apparently alleges that she was the top pick for a position at our Embassy in Algiers, but that she was denied the position by HR because of her age. This complaint was filed directly in district court; neither S/OCR nor our office have any record of an administrative complaint being filed. Our usual practice is not to comment publicly about matters in litigation. If a complaint has in fact been filed, we should have it sometime tomorrow, and can send you an info memo with more details. But this is all we know right now. Harold On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 4:26 PM, Mills, Cheryl D wrote: Can you give me more info on the suit filed against the dept and secretary re age discrim?

Yunus Prime Mnister Hasina Warns The Daily Star, Dhaka, September 17, 2009 Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday alerted the countrymen to the ongoing conspiracy of 'special quarter' and 'undemocratic forces' who are still plotting to wipe out democracy and grab the seat in power after being failed to capture it. The prime minister, however, urged the Leader of the Opposition and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and her allies to return to parliament for raising their voices. Recalling her experience as the opposition leader, Hasina said, "We used to walk out from parliament sessions, boycott it but we used to return to the House again."

Sheikh Hasina, also ruling Awami League (AL) president, urged people to keep vigil against recurrence of incidents like BDR mutiny to reverse the democratic strides. She also urged the people not to be misguided by any 'false campaign.' "While running the government and doing development works, we find continued obstacles in every step from the 'special quarter', benefited by undemocratic government, who earlier had captured power through undemocratic means, So, I urge the countrymen to be cautious so that the democratic trend continues," she told the parliament. The prime minister was speaking at a discussion titled 'democracy and political tolerance' on the occasion of the International Day of Democracy. Following an hour long discussion, the House passed a resolution by which Bangladesh will also observe the International Day of Democracy through holding a discussion in the parliament every year. Inter-Parliamentary Union decided to observe September 15 of every year as International Day of Democracy in the context of a resolution adopted by the United Nations in 2007. The International Day of Democracy was first observed in 2008 but Bangladesh could not observe the day as unelected caretaker government ruled the country during that time. Referring to the sugar price, Sheikh Hasina told the House that a big conspiracy is going on regarding sugar price. Price of sugar is being raised though stock of sugar is available. "We are investigating the matter and action will be taken against those who are responsible for it," said the Leader of the House. On plotting of the conspiracy, Sheikh Hasina said people who wanted to sit in power without election are still hatching conspiracy against her government.

She also disclosed in parliament that many proposals were given to her (Hasina) during that time including offering her the status of a prime minister without participating in elections, which she rejected. Without mentioning any name, the prime minister said, those who wanted to capture power by creating new political parties are still continuing their activities to capture power. "Those persons who had failed to float a new political party, exploit people, get huge interest from poor people and remain in disguise of good men wearing good dresses are still busy hatching a conspiracy against the government," said Hasina, who was sent to a makeshift jail during the anti-graft drive of the past caretaker government. She, however, hailed the caretaker regime for holding a free and fair election, which she claimed as the best election since 1973. The AL Chief Hasina told lawmakers that the country has been pushed back economically, socially and culturally by applying the undemocratic and military rule while only a special quarter became rich but the majority people remained ignored. The premier vowed that her government is committed to materialise all its election pledges to fulfil the desire of the people. Hasina said her party believes in the definition of democracy given by Abraham Lincoln who said Democracy means--by the People, of the People, for the People.

The chairman of UNESCO's executive board says Bulgaria's ambassador to France, Irina Bokova, has beaten longtime Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosny in secret balloting. UNESCO's press office says Bokova won 31 to 27 Tuesday in a suspenseful fifth round. The Egyptian was long considered a favorite, despite his threat last year to burn Israeli books, and Egypt's contentious record of cultural censorship under his watch. Hosny apologized for the book-burning comment, but many Jewish activists said he was unfit to be the U.N.'s guardian of culture.

Congressional Issues 1.4(D) B1 ® Mike Polt reported that six nominees are on deck to come up for a vote tonight — Hormats, Posner, Feinstein (Poland), Jacobson (Canada), White (Norway) and Solomont (Spain). Hormats will attend the G-20 if confirmed. ® Jim said that he had spoken to Senator DeMint about holds on Valenzuela and Shannon. DeMint did not say anything negative about either nominee, but will insist on a full floor discussion as the price of a vote. (He sees no prospect Zelaya will come back into power in Honduras.) H will follow up to see what more can be done to engage with DeMint on the substance of his concerns. Cheryl noted that if we are not going to make any additional movement soon, we should proceed to a floor vote. The issue then will be how much time DeMint demands. South Africa • Pat reported that our embassy in Pretoria is closed today pending a beef-up in local security. They have taken other measures to increase security. Honduras ® In Honduras, Pat noted that the mission is also closed and that, despite the proximity of our mission to the Brazilian things seem fine. I noted that there were reports this morning that police had fired tear gas to break up a demonstration. WHA reported in the subsequent meeting that we have urged the de facto regime to act with restraint and not use force. We are also waiting for a readout of a meeting between Zelaya's supporters and de facto regime members that took place last night. Jim indicated he wanted to call everyone together later to review our strategy going forward.

The issue will take center stage when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon discuss food security on Saturday in New York. A U.S. official, who spoke on condition that he not be identified, confirmed the Obama administration plans to unveil a food security plan at or around the time of the Saturday food security event. Sen. Richard Lugar, an Indiana Republican, told reporters at a hunger conference that according to notes from Secretary Clinton, she will discuss "a multi-sectoral approach" promoting the development of infrastructure, education and research along with increasing farming productivity for local producers. The Obama administration is "on the right track," said Lugar, who has introduced a bill with similar food aid reform measures. However, he was not optimistic that his plan, awaiting vote in the full Senate, would move forward this year. "Until voters and politicians are motivated, very little can often be accomplished," he said. More than 1 billion people will be chronically hungry this year, the United Nations' World Food Program estimates, up from 963 million in UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764780 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764780 Date: 07/31/2015 2008 when food prices spiked, causing hoarding and riots over food in some nations. Much of the blame on the failure to combat global hunger is because U.S. politicians, business leaders and others have not made it a priority, said Dan Glickman, former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture who is vice chairman of the Friends of the World Food Program. Representative Jim McGovern, a Massachusetts Democrat, said reaction to the Obama administration's plan will be crucial to determine if the United States is committed to trying something new. "What we don't have is political will," said McGovern. "Leadership is going to have to come from the White House."

I think we should reference the crisis in the speech and perhaps discuss what we are doing to address although it's mostly just providing emergency food assistance. Best, Matt Somalia faces worst food crisis in 18 years: UN (AFP) – 1 day ago ROME — Drought, conflict and displacement are causing the worst humanitarian crisis in war-torn Somalia in 18 years, the UN food agency warned on Monday. Some 3.6 million people, about half the Somali population, need emergency aid including 1.3 million people displaced by fighting in the Horn of Africa country, the Food and Agriculture Organisation said in a statement. Around 1.4 million Somali farmers face a severe drought, while some 655,000 poor urban dwellers face high prices for basic food staples, the FAO said. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis have fled their homes over the past three years of violence involving hardline Islamist movements and many more in total over the country's 18 years of almost uninterrupted civil chaos. Hunger also stalks other countries in east Africa and the Horn of Africa region, the UN agency said. The number of people depending on food aid in the region -- currently nearly 20 million -- "may increase as the hunger season progresses, particularly among marginal fanners and low-income urban dwellers," the FAO said. "Below-average rains combined with conflict and displacement are aggravating an already serious food insecurity situation in the region," it said. An added element is El Nino, a weather phenomenon associated with floods, droughts and other climatic disturbances, the FAO said. "The effects of El Nino, which usually brings heavy rains towards the end of the year, could make matters worse, ... destroying crops both in the field and in stores (and) increasing livestock losses," the statement added. Continued low purchasing power is also threatening food security in the region, the UN agency said.

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 7:22 PM B6 Bibi/Abu Mazen Seems the best for a bad situation. Moves the public discussion from settlement freeze to final status. Keeps some pressure on the parties. And seems like you will play a more public role, which is good. (You have more credibility on both sides than anyone). Going forward, if Bibi continues to be the obstacle, you will need to fmd the ground from which you can make his politics uneasy. I think you can do that even with current concerns in Israel about US posture. But it will be easier as we rebuild trust so that our future admonitions are accepted. (An HRC trip there to reframe perceptions?). Finally, need to be mindful of Abu Mazen's politics. Taking a lot of criticism for meeting with Bibi without settlement freeze.

She accused Z supporters of spreading the rumors to create a climate of tension and uncertainly. This tracks with all of the information that we have been picking up from the HOAF, Supreme Court and the Attorney General's office. We've made clear in all of our conversations with regime contacts they would face "grave consequences" if they violate the diplomatic sanctity of the Brazilian Embassy. I hate to agree with the regime, but on this one they may be right. The calls from regime contacts appear synchronized and are coming out of Managua, Guatemala, here in Tegucigalpa, as well as NYC. However, to be sure, we've made a second round of calls. Both the Minister of Security and the Attorney General have again told us that the regime has no/no intention of entering the Brazilian Embassy.

See my other email.. Sid Barack Obama snubs Gordon Brown over private talks White House spurned five requests from PM's aides for bilateral meeting Gordon Brown and Barack Obama at a joint news conference at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London in April 2009. Photograph: Jason Reed/Reufers Gordon Brown lurched from being hailed as a global statesman to intense embarrassment tonight, after it emerged US President Barack Obama had turned down no fewer than five requests from Downing Street to hold a bilateral meeting at the United Na tions in New York or at the G20 summit starting in Pittsburgh today. The prime minister, eager to portray himself as a leading player on the international stage in America this week, was also forced to play down suggestions from inside his own party that he might step down early, either due to ill health or deteriorating eyesight. There have been tensions between the White House and No 10 for weeks over Brown's handling of the Scottish government's decision to release the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi. Brown's efforts to secure a prestigious primetime slot for his keynote speech at the general assembly in New York were also thwarted when the Libyan leader, Colonel Gaddafi, delivered a 100-minute speech to the UN, massively running over Brown's 15 minute slot. Brown had not only been seeking a bilateral meeting with Obama, but feelers were also sent out to hold a joint press conference, an event that would have boosted Brown's efforts to offer himself as a linchpin of international diplomacy. Government sources said that Britain even changed its policy on swine flu immunisation in Africa to match that of the Obama administration last week, in an attempt to rebuild relations. No 10 denied there had been any hint of a snub, saying Obama and Brown had plenty of chances to talk as they sat next to one another at the summits. They insisted they were working closely on issues such as future economic regulation, bankers' bonuses, nuclear non-proliferation and climate change. Brown himself insisted: "I do say that the special relationship is strong, it continues to strengthen." But Obama has held bilateral meetings in New York with the Chinese president, Hu Jintao, the Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, and the new Japanese prime minister, Yukio Hatoyama. News of the five spurned approaches compounded a miserable day for Brown at home which saw a parliamentary aide resign over the prime minister's refusal to sack Lady Scotland, the attorney general, after she was fined £5,000 for employing an illegal immigrant, as well as a withering attack by the former home secretary Charles Clarke. Stephen Hesford, Labour MP for Wirral West, told Brown in a resignation letter: "In my view, the facts of the case do not matter. It is the principle which counts, particularly at a time when the public's trust of Whitehall is uncertain to say the least. We have to be seen to be accountable." Brown was also savaged by Charles Clarke, who told the Evening Standard that in his view Brown's leadership risked letting "the whole Labour ship crash on to the rocks of May 2010 [the expected date of the general election] and sink for a very long time". He said he hoped rumours that Brown would quit would come true. "I think his own dignity ought to look to that kind of solution." In two interviews , Brown was forced for the first time to field questions about his health. "My sight is not at all deteriorating," he told NBC.

I run a lot to keep fit and I will continue to keep fit. "I keep going. I have got a job to do. I have got work to do. We have got to meet this challenge." In his own speech to the UN, Obama promised an end to the unilateralism marked by the previous Bush administration, an approach that saw US and Britain working in tandem. In remarks that suggest Obama will focus on broadening American alliances across the globe, he said: "The time has come for the world to move in a new direction ... a new era of engagement based on mutual interest and mutual respect." Last week, the White House had unusually briefed that Obama had told B rown in a phone conversation that he disapproved of the release of the Lockerbie bomber on compassionate grounds, something No 10 had not highlighted. Megrahi was released on the basis that he had three months to live, and then received a hero's welcome as he returned to Tripoli. Brown had said he respected the release, but insisted undertakings by the Libyans that the return would be lowkey had been broken. In an attempt to distance himself from the Libyans, Brown moved to toughen his position against Colonel Gaddafi after Libya's leader theatrically tore up the UN charter in his address. Gaddafi said the security council should be renamed "the terror council". Brown countered in his speech in New York later: "I am here to reaffirm the UN charter, not to tear it up. I call on everyone to support its universal principles." He urged world leaders to recognise that the next six months presented tests on climate change and terrorism that were as huge as the banking crisis. On climate change he said: "If we miss this opportunity to protect our planet, we cannot hope for a second chance some time in the future. There will be no retrospective global agreement to undo the damage we have caused. This is the moment now to limit and reverse climate change we are inflicting on future generations." He added: "If the poorest and most vulnerable are going to be able to adapt, if the emerging economies are going to embark on low-carbon development paths, if the forest nations are going to slow and stop deforestation, then the richer countries must contribute financially." No 10 again denied that the prime minister had been snubbed last night. A spokesman said the stories were "without foundation. As we have said throughout the week, the prime minister and President Obama are having a number of meetings throughout the week. These included a wide-ranging discussion following last night's climate change dinner. They will also be co-chairing an important meeting on Thursday on Pakistan and the fight against terrorism. As the prime minister has already said, there will be further meetings at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh."

The Clinton Global Initiative's fifth birthday celebration this week may be a less glitzy affair than in previous years but it marks an amazing comeback. Last year the Obama administration actually thought about having it shut down as a price of Mrs. Clinton becoming Secretary of State, fearful that Bill's schmoozing of wealthy philanthropists could compromise his wife's role as America's top diplomat. Now, Obama is going to be topping the bill, outshining the A-list celebrities, heads of state and corporate titans who pack the hall for the annual "Philanthropy Oscars." Yet the most important speech at the event may not be delivered by either the current or the former president but by Mrs. Clinton herself. She has said the State Department is going to forge new partnerships with philanthropists to achieve America's foreign policy goals (and has already started work on a new initiative around the Middle East peace process). Her speech is an opportunity to announce a radical new departure in the way America gives aid. The aid business in crisis. The past year may have been tough for the world's richest countries, but it has been far harder for the poorest. Markets for exports have slumped as rich consumers have reined in their spending. Government budgets are creaking under the strain of the global recession and foreign aid is threatening to dry up. At the same time, the intellectual attack on aid has escalated, led by the author of "Dead Aid", the African economist, Dambisa Moyo. The CGI has become the showcase for those who believe Moyo is wrong and that aid can be effective. The CGI is not about the old government-to-government aid model. Its members aim to deliver smart aid, based on partnerships between business, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs. Mrs. Clinton's speech is the perfect opportunity to show that government is ready to work with the CGI crowd to rethink how it does aid. One promising, for-profit solution to poverty is to take the model of microfinance -- one of the more resilient corners of banking during the financial crisis -- and extend it to improve education, health care, clean water and sanitation.

Government should be doing all it can to encourage his type of mass philanthrocapitalism that levers the generosity of the American people and taps into the wisdom of crowds. It is time for government aid to be made more democratic by letting Kiva and others like it distribute some of the tax dollars. Finally, Mrs. Clinton should seize the opportunity to turn the aid business on its head and pass control from the bureaucrats to the poor people themselves. Technology such as the internet and the mobile phone are now widespread in the developing world, so why not use these tools to give a greater voice in aid spending to the people the money is intended to help? Much aid has gone to waste because of a lack of feedback from the intended beneficiaries. Imagine how the best technology entrepreneurs could transform the aid business, in the same way that they have changed the media, by giving the poor a say in how the aid billions are spent. The Obama Administration has made all the right noises about making government smarter by working more with the philanthrocapitalists. At home, the creation of a White House Office of Social Innovation was a welcome first move, yet it is still to be seen whether this will amount to much more than a new source of grant funding for the nonprofit sector.

Sid Barack Obama rebuffs Gordon Brown as 'special relationship' sinks to new low Gordon Brown has been snubbed repeatedly by Barack Obama during his trip to the United States, as the fall-out from the release of the Lockerbie bomber appeared to have left "the special relationship" at its lowest ebb for nearly 20 years. By Andrew Porter, Political Editor in New York Published: 11:49PM BST 23 Sep 2009 British officials made five attempts to secure official talks with the US President and even agreed to a policy change in an attempt to land a joint appearance between the two leaders, said diplomatic sources. But the White House rebuffed the offers and Mr Brown, who had hoped to increase his popularity by appearing on his own with Mr Obama, had to settle instead for a snatched conversation with the President in a New York kitchen. The setbacks led to fears that relati ons between Downing Street and the White House were at their lowest point since John Major's frosty dealings with Bill Clinton. It was disclosed earlier this week that Mr Brown would not hold bilateral talks with Mr Obama, despite the President hosting individual meetings with the leaders of Japan, China and Russia. Downing Street claimed that this was not unusual. However, a British diplomat told The Daily Telegraph that the White House's refusal to meet Mr Brown had been a serious embarrassment for the Prime Minister. "It is wrong for people to say that we have been relaxed about the way things have gone," the source said. "There were five attempts to set up a meeting and none have come off." The most striking example of Downing Street's desperation to engineer a meeting was a change of policy on supplying swine flu vaccines to Africa. It aimed to match America's commitment and was announced last week. As a result, it had been hoped that Mr Obama would agree to a joint press conference, according to a senior source. However, the meeting never happened. The White House said that Mr Brown and Mr Obama would chair a meeting tonight about Pakistan, and would "spend all day Friday together." However, Friday's meeting in Pittsburgh involves the full G20 group of world leaders. The release=2 Oof the Lockerbie bomber, Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, appears to have been behind the new chill in relations between Washington and London. Mr Obama expressed his dismay at the release in a telephone call with the Prime Minister earlier this month. Downing Street's original account of the conversation failed to refer to the President's anger. Mr Brown has maintained that freeing the Libyan was a matter entirely for the Scottish executive. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764896 Date: 07/31/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764896 Date: 07/31/2015 Nearly 200 Americans died when Pan Am flight 103 was blown up over Scotland in 1988. Yesterday, families of victims protested at the UN in New York where Mr Brown and Libya's leader, Col Muammar Gaddafi, made speeches. Last night Downing Street played down suggestions of a rift with the White House and pointed to an informal discussion that Mr Brown had with Mr Obama after a climate change dinner at the UN on Tuesday night. The 15-minute "walk and chat" took place in a kitchen of the UN headquarters as both men left the building in Manhattan. No 10 maintained that there was nothing unusual in the Prime Minister not holding a separate "bilateral" meeting with the President. There was little doubt that Mr Brown would have relished a high profile meeting with Mr Obama. In a speech to the United Nations, Mr Obama said the world must "move in a new direction" and "embrace20a new era of engagement". That was seen as a sign that the President was more likely to place emphasis on relations with a wide range of countries rather than rely on old alliances. Mr Brown's increasingly poor relationship with the White House contrasts sharply with that of his predecessor Tony Blair, who enjoyed close friendships with both Mr Clinton and George W Bush. John Major's Tory government had difficulty with Mr Clinton, however, because of claims that Mr Major had tried to help George Bush Snr's re-election campaign in 1992 by allowing researchers to dig into Mr Clinton's student past at Oxford — something Sir John has always denied. Mr Brown, whose plans for a lunchtime speech to the United Nations were derailed after Col Gaddafi spoke for 96 minutes, faced attacks on several fronts yesterday. Kathy Tedeschi and Sue Kosmowski, Americans who lost husbands in the Lockerbie bombing, travelled to New York to protest outside the UN headquarters. They claimed that Mr Brown had put trade interests ahead of justice for victims families. The Prime Minister was also accused of trying to appease Iran by ignoring the supression of opposition in order to safeguard talks on its nuclear programme. Shirin Ebadi, Iran's only Nobel Peace Prize winner, said the West cared more about its own securit y than human rights. Mr Brown was criticised for failing to stay at a dinner where he was honoured as Statesman of the Year. Guests paid $1,000 to attend the function attended by, among others, Henry Kissinger and the pop star Bono.

He's sleeping on chairs, and he claims his throat is sore from toxic gases and "Israeli mercenaries" are torturing him with high-frequency radiation. "We are being threatened with death," he said in an interview with The Miami Herald, adding that mercenaries were likely to storm the embassy where he has been holed up since Monday and assassinate him. "I prefer to march on my feet than to live on my knees before a military dictatorship," Zelaya said in a series of back-to-back interviews. Zelaya was deposed at gunpoint on June 28 and slipped back into his country on Monday, just two days before he was scheduled to speak before the United Nations. He sought refuge at the Brazilian Embassy, where Zelaya said he is being subjected to toxic gases and radiation that alter his physical and mental state. Witnesses said that for a short time Tuesday morning, soldiers used a device that looked like a large satellite dish to emit a loud shrill noise. Honduran police spokesman Orlin Cerrato said he knew nothing of any radiation devices being used against the former president. "He says there are mercenaries against him? Using some kind of apparatus?" Cerrato said. "No, no, no, no. Sincerely: no. The only elements surrounding that embassy are police and military, and they have no such apparatus."

Civil disturbances subsided Wednesday afternoon, when a crush of people rushed grocery stores and gas stations in the capital. Israeli government sources in Miami said they could not confirm the presence of any "Israelis mercenaries" in Honduras. Zelaya, 56, is at the embassy with his family and other supporters, without a change of clothes or toothpaste. The power and water were turned back on, and the U.N. brought in some food. Photos showed Zelaya, his trademark cowboy hat across his face, napping on a few chairs he had pushed together. "Look at the shape he's in — sleeping on chairs," de facto President Roberto Micheletti told a local TV news station. Micheletti took Zelaya's place after the military, executing a Supreme Court arrest warrant, burst into Zelaya's house and forced him into exile. The country's military, congress, Supreme Court and economic leaders have backed the ouster, arguing that Zelaya was bent on conducting an illegal plebiscite that they feared would ultimately lead to his reelection. Micheletti said he was prepared to meet with Zelaya and a delegation from the Organization of American States, but only to discuss one topic: November elections. On Wednesday, the U.N. cut off all technical aid that would have supported and given credibility to that presidential race. Conditions do not exist for credible elections, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon said. "I proposed dialogue, and they answered with bullets, bombs, a state of siege and by closing the airport," Zelaya said. Zelaya told The Herald that Washington should be taking a stronger stance against the elite economic interests that "financed and benefited" from the coup that ousted him three months ago. If President Barack Obama hit Honduras with commercial sanctions or suspended free-trade agreements, the coup "would last just five minutes." The Obama administration suspended economic aid to Honduras and withdrew the visas of members of the current administration. About 75 percent of Honduras' commerce depends on the United States, Zelaya said. And because powerful economic forces were behind Zelaya's ouster, Obama should hit those forces where it hurts most, Zelaya said. "I have told this to Obama, to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to the U.S. Embassy here and anyone else who will listen," Zelaya said. "They know how to act. Until now, they have been very prudent." With Micheletti showing a new willingness to talk with the OAS, and the U.N. Security Council set to meet to discuss the embassy situation soon, it isn't the moment for more penalties, the U.S. State Department said. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765321 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765321 Date: 07/31/2015 "Right now, when there are openings for dialogue, is not the time to announce new sanctions," a State Department official said. Dates for the OAS visit, which could include emissaries from 10 countries, are being worked out, the official said. Spokesman Ian Kelly said the U.N. Security Council meeting came at the request of the Brazilian government. No date has been set for the meeting. "In general, we continue to work with our partners in the U.N. and the OAS to come up with means to promote a dialogue and defuse the tensions, of course with the ultimate goal of resolving the crisis," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said at a media briefing in Washington. "And we're continuing our consultations with our partners in the region, and enlisting wherever we can their assistance in this process." The U.S. Embassy here spent the day denying rumors that Zelaya planned to move to American grounds. The rumor may have started because U.S. Embassy vehicles were used to evacuate Zelaya supporters who left the Brazilian Embassy willingly Tuesday. "The embassy has been turned into a bunker for Zelaya," Assistant Foreign Minister Martha Lorena Alvarado de Casco told The Herald. "He's turned it into his headquarters, and he is using it to call for insurrection." Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim told CNN en Espanol that his government asked Zelaya to tone down his rhetoric while he remains an embassy guest. "The word 'death' should not even be mentioned," he said. Rioting broke out in various parts of the capital Tuesday night, and lines hundreds deep formed at supermarkets when desperate shoppers scrambled to buy food after a round-the-clock curfew was briefly lifted. "I have no food in my house," said Patti Vasquez, a housewife who, after two hours, still had not reached the front doors of a supermarket in an upscale shopping mall. "I need to get milk and juice and eggs." Zelaya says he has no plans to leave the embassy anytime soon. . "I am the president the people of Honduras chose," Zelaya said. "A country can't have two presidents --just one." Miami Herald staff writer Jim Wyss and special correspondent Stewart Stogel contributed to this report.

Face was good. Perfect in that it generated no issues to clean up, but other networks picked up clips re Iran.

Post. today re Palau & Uighurs Jake, Want to make sure you saw the front page story below. It's really about the tragedy of brothers wrongfully detained at Guantanamo but it makes clear that Palau is doing the U.S. a great service and has been more courageous in this regard than most of the world (although Palau is in many ways more vulnerable to China): The Secretary complimenting Pres. Toribiong re this was a good move right after Alcy upset the Palauans (as you feared) in a meeting I will give you a confidential report on separately. Jeff 2 Brothers' Grim Tale Of Loyalty And Limbo To Leave Guantanamo Means Abandoning Family By Del Quentin Wilber Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, September 28, 2009 Bahtiyar Mahnut, a detainee at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, learned a few weeks ago that the Pacific island nation of Palau had invited him to settle there. It should have been cause for celebration, especially for a man who desperately wants to be free. But, to the surprise of his attorneys, Bahtiyar has turned down the offer. He wishes to remain a prisoner, they say, so he can look after his older brother, a fellow detainee. The brothers' saga, as related by their attorneys and military records, could transpire only in the context of Guantanamo Bay and comes at a critical juncture for the Obama administration, which is struggling to meet a Jan. 22 deadline to shutter the 223-detainee prison. Their circumstances also highlight the diplomatic difficulties facing the U.S. government as it tries to find places to send prisoners not destined for terrorism trials in the United States. The brothers are Uighurs, residents of China who are considered separatists by Beijing but are not enemies of the United States. The brothers were picked up separately in Afghanistan and Pakistan soon after the United States launched attacks against al-Qaeda and the Taliban in retaliation for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Since at least 2003, the U.S. government has tried to find homes for the brothers and 20 other captured Uighurs. Five went to Albania in 2006; four were sent to Bermuda in June. At one point, U.S. officials were considering the possibility of resettling Uighurs in the D.C. region, but that plan was scuttled under political pressure. Most countries have been reluctant to accept Uighurs and risk angering China. In recent weeks, however, Palau has agreed to accept 12 of the 13 remaining Uighurs, according to the Justice Department. The only detainee not invited by Palau was Bahtiyar's older brother, Arkin Mahmud, 45, who has developed mental health problems that are apparently too serious to be treated in the sparsely populated country, said his attorney, Elizabeth Gilson. To make matters worse, according to Gilson and military records, Arkin is a prisoner only because he went searching for Bahtiyar after the younger brother left their homeland eight years ago. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766276 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766276 Date: 07/31/2015 "This is just very difficult and sad," said Abubakkir Qasim, 40, a Uighur freed from Guantanamo Bay in 2006 who considers himself a friend of both brothers. "Bahtiyar is turning away freedom for his brother," Qasim said through an interpreter. "His brother is only there because of Bahtiyar. I feel sorry for both of them." Five other Uighurs have declined the offer for a variety of reasons, according to one of their attorneys, Susan Baker Manning. The Justice Department says the government thinks that six to eight Uighurs will go to Palau. The earliest they could leave would be Thursday, the Justice Department says. Officials at the Defense and State departments and the Palau Embassy in Washington either declined to comment or did not return phone messages. In 2001, Bahtiyar and Arkin, both Muslims, were living with their parents and a younger brother in a small house in bustling Ghulja in Western China. Arkin is the father of two children, then 8 and 5. The brothers were not particularly devout but felt oppressed by the government of Beijing, which does not allow worship and ensures the best jobs go to ethnic Chinese. The brothers were forced to survive as menial tradesmen. Bahtiyar sold clothes; Arkin repaired shoes. Bahtiyar wanted to strike out on his own. So, with $700 in his pocket, he headed for Pakistan. But he quickly ran out of money and couldn't find work. He was worried about being sent back to China until a friend told him about a group of Uighurs in Afghanistan that wanted "to fight against the Chinese government." "If I went," he told military officials, "I didn't have to pay for food or anything. So I went to Afghanistan." There, he lived with 35 other Uighurs in a camp of dusty roads and shacks in the southern mountains. The group built houses and a mosque. They trained with one automatic rifle and did some push-ups, pull-ups and other calisthenics, records show. Within a few weeks of arriving at the camp, Bahtiyar managed to call home. His mother was very worried and told Arkin to find his brother. "He left because he was a dutiful son," Gilson said. After the Sept. 11 attacks, the U.S. military began bombing Afghanistan and destroyed Bahtiyar's camp, sending the Uighurs into the mountains for shelter. Bahtiyar and others crossed into neighboring Pakistan, where they were arrested and turned over to U.S. authorities. Meanwhile, Arkin made his way to Afghanistan, where he was captured by the Northern Alliance and turned over the United States. At a military prison in Kandahar, the brothers saw each other across the razor wire. In 2002, the military brought the brothers and 20 other Uighurs to Guantanamo Bay. Authorities alleged at the time that the men trained at military-style camps affiliated with the Taliban or al-Qaeda. The accusations later dissolved upon close scrutiny by the courts. Arkin and Bahtiyar were confined in separate cells and, for months, were not able to talk. A Uighur interpreter working for the military, Rushan Abbas, persuaded the military in 2003 to allow the brothers to meet in an interrogation room. When they saw each other, they hugged and wept. "It was just so emotional," Abbas said. "These brothers from across the world coming together in an interrogation room for the first time." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766276 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766276 Date: 07/31/2015 In 2005, Arkin remained in solitary confinement. He had a record of disciplinary infractions and had been disrespectful to the guards, records show. Not for the first time, Bahtiyar took steps to help his brother. Living in a more relaxed part of the prison, he was granted a request to be moved to Arkin's camp. "I missed my brother so much," he told military officials. By the next year, the brothers had been cleared for release by the military. The government did not present any evidence to justify their detention in a federal lawsuit brought the Uighurs seeking their freedom. In October, a judge ordered them freed into the United States, but that decision was overturned on appeal. The Uighurs are awaiting word, expected this week, on whether the Supreme Court will hear the case. Last year, the remaining Uighurs were moved to a fenced-in camp that includes an activities room, video games and books. Through it all, Arkin and Bahtiyar have struggled to cope with being prisoners, perhaps for years to come. "I know I'll die in here," Arkin told Gilson not long ago. "In China, at least I would have a trial and sentence." Since taking their case in 2005, Gilson has met with Arkin dozens of times. But she had only spoken to Bahtiyar by phone. He had refused to meet with her, frustrated by lawyers always talking about what he considered fruitless legal victories. Two weeks ago, he changed his mind. Bahtiyar felt that he owed her an explanation for refusing Palau's generous offer. "Every day here is an eternity," he told Gilson through an interpreter. "But I have to look out for my brother."

The chief challenge I see is in having each bureau give 3 minutes on their top 3 priorities. I think it is worthwhile from the standpoint that this is the first time all will be together with the chance to see/meet and hear from everyone, but it will take time to hear from everyone. I've broken it up into 2 sections of an hour each. Without these sections, the Retreat would breathe — with them it's tight though I have left padding in each section. I also am holding a place for up front for Susan Rice to present if she comes — she has not rsvped. Please see below and attached and advise if there are other suggested changes. Bill Burns cannot attend the retreat and currently will give his update on Iran to Jim; we also will have Jim address Iraq in his overview too.

The Chinese company will buy a 70 percent share of the whole project, according to an agreement signed Sunday in Lausanne, Switzerland between CNPC and NIOC's overseas investment subsidiary, Naftiran Intertrade Company (NICO) that covers a 90 percent stake in the project. A likely explanation would be that this deal has been long in the making. Still, Tehran's motivation for releasing this information in English at this time is worth considering. The whole story from an English-language Iranian outlet is pasted in below, and I found three Chinese-language sources with corroborating reports (nothing in English from China, though): http://business.sohu.com/20090929/n267094148.shtml http://money.163.com/09/0929/14/5KCSKN5F002524SO.html http://finance.sina.com.cn/world/gjjj/20090929/18566807524.shtml Jackie Press TV Iran, China sign a major oilfield deal Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:05:09 GMT China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) has signed a contract with National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) for the development of Iran's South Azadegan oilfield. The Chinese company will buy a 70 percent share of the whole project, according to an agreement signed Sunday in Lausanne, Switzerland between CNPC and NIOC's overseas investment subsidiary, Naftiran lntertrade Company (NICO) that covers a 90 percent stake in the project. CNPC, which won a bid in January to develop the North Azadegan oilfield, now holds a 70 percent share of the project with NICO holding 20 percent, and Inpex of Japan having the remaining 10 percent. The South Azadegan project is slated to produce 260,000 barrels of crude oil per day, and its development will cost around $2.5 billion. The field, along the Iraqi border, holds reserves estimated at approximately 42 billion barrels of oil, one of the world's largest finds in the last 30 years. Iran provides 14 percent of China's demand for oil.

China's investment in Iran's energy sector has increased as some western countries, led by the US, have sanctioned Iran over its peaceful nuclear program.

With these 10 generals from the two countires, I am going to be in DC on October 21 and 22. these Generals have been part our of our Sanya Initiative - the unofficial mil-mil dialogue I started last year. It'll be me, Joe Prueher, Charley Wilhelm, Ron Fogleman, and Denny Reimer. The Chinese will be led by General Xiong Guangkai and include four other very senior and respected Generals from the PLA. The Chinese view this as a formal track one program and take it very seriously. We will meet with ADM Mullen and ADM Keating in Honolulu and see GEN Cartwright at the Pentagon. It would be a terrific sign of the U.S.'s support for this relationship if you were able join or host (I'd be pleased to fund) a very private dinner on the evening of the 21 or the 22nd of October.

He is upset tha he was not consulted and does not think he was briefed sufficiently quickly. WHA and H had briefed immediately on the direct mail talks, and had briefed HFAC on the follow on talks. We had asked for time to brief SFRC but had not yet done so. This should be a good news story. We engaged with the Cubans at the Vice-Minister level, breaking a several year shunning of our Interest Section by the Cubans, traveled outside of Havana to view hurricane damage (thus breaking through the barrier of no travel beyond a ten-mile perimeter), we pursued extradition of US fugitives in Cuba, and most importantly, Bisa Williams (my DAS and the head of delegation) met with a broad range of dissidents, civil socity reps, and bloggers. This last point is worth highlighting. The last part of the trip came together late because we would not let the Cubans condition our meetings or determine who we could or could not meet with. The Cubans finally allowed us to meet with dissidents, something they have prevented EU and other visitors from doing. In other words, we have broken th mold and put real pressure on others to do the same. That said, our briefing and outreach could have been quicker and better coordinated. This has upset Senator Menedez. We are sending Bisa up tomorrow to brief the SFRC.

Afghan speech below FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 11, 2009 Contact: Senator Levin's Office Phone: 202.224.6221 Senate Floor Speech - Surge the Afghan Army Remarks as prepared for delivery Today we mark a solemn anniversary. Eight years ago this morning, our nation was attacked by terrorist extremists motivated by hatred and bent on destruction. It is always appropriate to remember the shock of that day, the innocent lives lost, and the efforts our nation has made since that day to ensure that Afghanistan, the nation that hosted those terrorists, cannot again become a safe haven for terrorists seeking to attack us. But today is an especially appropriate occasion to take stock of those efforts, and consider how best to continue them. I recently returned from a trip to Afghanistan, where I was joined by my colleagues Senators Jack Reed and Ted Kaufman. The situation in Afghanistan is serious. Security has deteriorated. But if we take the right steps, we can ensure that Afghanistan does not revert to a Taliban-friendly government that could once again provide a safe haven for al Qaeda to terrorize us and the world. The Obama administration's new strategy, focusing on securing the Afghan population's safety and partnering with the Afghan security forces in that effort, is an important start at reversing the situation in Afghanistan. The change in strategy has led our forces, in the words of General McChrystal's Counterinsurgency Guidance, to "live, eat and train together [with the Afghan security forces], plan and operate together, depend on one another, and hold each other accountable....and treat them as equal partners in success." The Guidance goes on to say that the success of the Afghan security forces "is our goal." To achieve that goal we should increase and accelerate our efforts to support the Afghan security forces in their efforts to become self-sufficient in delivering security to their nation — before we consider whether to increase U.S. combat forces above the levels already planned for the next few months. These steps include increasing the size of the Afghan Army and police much faster than presently planned; providing more trainers for the Afghan Army and police than presently planned; providing them more equipment than presently planned; and working to separate local Taliban fighters from their leaders and attract them to the side of the government as we did in Iraq. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766340 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766340 Date: 07/31/2015 While the security situation in Afghanistan has worsened, we still have important advantages there. The Afghan people hate the Taliban. Public opinion polls show support for the Taliban at about 5%. In addition, the Afghan army is highly motivated and its troops are proven fighters. Despite those advantages, we face significant challenges. General McChrystal believes, and I agree, that we need to regain the initiative and create a momentum towards success. General McChrystal worries, and rightly so, about the perception that we have lost that initiative, and the impact of that perception on the Afghan people, their government, al Qaeda and the Taliban. By contrast, if we can dispel that perception, we have a chance to convince local and lowerlevel Taliban fighters to lay down their arms and rejoin Afghan society. I believe the most effective way to retake the initiative in Afghanistan is with a series of steps to ensure that Afghanistan's army and police have the manpower, equipment and support to secure their own nation. First, we should increase troop levels for the Afghan army and police faster than currently planned. There are approximately 90,000 troops in the Afghan army now, and that number is scheduled to go up to 134,000 by October of 2010. The Afghan police are scheduled to reach a level of 82,000 by the same time. For a long time, many of us have urged the establishment of a goal of 240,000 Afghan troops and 160,000 Afghan police by 2013. The Afghan Minister of Defense has strongly supported those numbers. It now appears that our government and the Afghan government are prepared to accept those goals. But the need for additional Afghan forces is urgent. I believe it both possible and essential to advance those goals by a year, to 2012. Our own military in Afghanistan has repeatedly pointed to a need for more Afghan forces. In one sector of Helmand province we visited last week, our Marines outnumbered Afghan soldiers by 5 to one. A Marine Company commander in Helmand province told the New York Times in July that a lack of Afghan troops "is absolutely our Achilles heel." What do we need to do to increase the size of the Afghan army and police? According to Afghan Defense Minister Wardak, there is no lack of Afghan manpower; we've been assured it is available. But we will need significantly more trainers. We asked General Formica, who is in charge of the American effort to train Afghan security forces, whether such an increase is possible. He indicated he would make an assessment of what would be necessary in order to meet the earlier timetable. In the meantime, we should also press our NATO allies with much greater forcefulness to provide more trainers. If our NATO allies are not going to come through with the combat forces they have pledged, at least they could provide additional trainers. Larger Afghan security forces will also require more mid-level Afghan officers. In addition to supporting efforts to graduate more Afghan officers from army academies, we should consider the recommendation of Defense Minister Wardak that previous mid-level officers who fought the war against the Soviets return to service on an interim basis. Minister Wardak emphasized that those men are well qualified and well motivated, and while they may not be trained in the most current tactics, they nonetheless could temporarily meet the need of the enlarged army while the new group of officers is trained. A larger Afghan force will need supporting infrastructure, such a barracks. While the available infrastructure may not be the most modern, it is adequate and exists in sufficient amounts. Larger Afghan security forces will require additional equipment. There must be a major effort to transfer a significant amount of the equipment that is coming out of Iraq to the Afghan army and police. Such a significant commitment to equip the Afghan security forces would also help demonstrate U.S. determination to take the initiative and create momentum in the right direction. There is an enormous amount of equipment coming out of Iraq; our military is calling it one of the greatest transfers of military goods in the world's history. A significant part of it could be transferred to the Afghan forces, increasing their capability without weakening our own readiness. And yet there does not seem to be that kind of a crash effort in place to do that. We need to obtain on an urgent basis a list of the basic equipment needs of the Afghan forces and a list of how those needs could be met in a major program to transfer equipment leaving Iraq. Rapidly expanding Afghanistan's military and police forces would address one of the major problems and risks we now face there. General McChrystal told us he worries that waiting until 2013 for a larger Afghan force creates a gap in UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766340 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766340 Date: 07/31/2015 capabilities that brings significant risk of failure. But by accelerating the training and equipping of Afghan forces by a year, we address his concern. Depending on additional capability from Afghan, rather than U.S., forces, also addresses a major problem of public perception in Afghanistan. The larger our own military footprint there, the more our enemies can seek to drive a wedge between us and the Afghan population, spreading the falsehood that we seek to dominate a Muslim nation. Finally, we should make a concerted effort to separate the local Taliban from their leaders. In Iraq, large numbers of young Iraqis who had been attacking us switched over to our side and became the "Sons of Iraq." They were drawn in part by the promise of jobs and amnesty for past attacks, and in part by the recognition that the status quo was creating horrific violence in their own communities. In their own interests and the interests of their nation, they switched sides and became a positive force. That same prospect exists in Afghanistan. Afghan leaders and our military say that local Taliban fighters are motivated largely by the need for a job or loyalty to the local leader who pays them and not by ideology or religious zeal. They believe an effort to attract these fighters to the government's side could succeed, if they are offered security for themselves and their families, and if there is no penalty for previous activity against us. General McChrystal himself has emphasized the potential of such re-integration to accomplish the same result as was achieved in Iraq. Here is what General McChrystal said on July 28th: "Most of the fighters we see in Afghanistan are Afghans, some with foreign cadre with them. But most we don't see are deeply ideological or even politically motivated; most are operating for pay; some are under a commander's charismatic leadership; some are frustrated with local leaders. So I believe there is significant potential to go after what I would call mid- and low-level Taliban fighters and leaders and offer them re-integration into Afghanistan under the constitution." But this "game changing" possibility was apparently not factored into General McChrystal's assessment. There is no plan yet to put in place a Sons of Iraq approach in Afghanistan. It is urgent that we lay out the steps that need to be taken to involve local and national Afghan leaders in that effort. They alone can accomplish this crucial job, but first we and our Afghan allies must draft such a plan on an urgent basis. And the potential positive impact of such a plan should be taken into account as we consider the need for any additional U.S. military resources. Afghanistan's people are grateful for our aid, but also eager to assume responsibility for their future. In a tiny village in Helmand Province, we were invited to meet with the village elders at their council meeting, their shura. One hundred or so men sat on the floor and chatted with us about their future and their country's future. When asked how long the United States should stay, one elder said: "Until the moment that you make our security forces self-sufficient. Then you will be welcome to visit us, not as soldiers but as guests." Helping Afghanistan achieve self-sufficiency in their security is everybody's goal. On that there is little difference of opinion, in Afghanistan's village councils or in the corridors of this Capitol. Can we help Afghanistan reach self-sufficiency in security fast enough? Can we get there in a way that regains the initiative and creates the momentum we need? Can we encourage those lower level Taliban to abandon an insurgency headed by terrorists whose fanaticism they don't share? I believe we can, by supporting a far more rapid growth in the Afghan Army and police; by providing more trainers more quickly; by a rapid infusion to Afghan units of equipment no longer needed in Iraq; and by rapidly adopting a plan for the re-integration of lower level Taliban fighters into Afghan society. In other words, we need a surge of Afghan security forces. Our support of their surge will show our commitment to the success of a mission that is clearly in our national security interest, without creating a bigger U.S. military footprint that provides propaganda fodder for the Taliban.

And we should implement these steps before considering an increase in U.S. ground combat forces beyond what is already planned by the end of this year.

N-M: Yes, I can hear you but the line is very poor 5: I wanted to reach out to you today. I hope you're doing well N-M: Thank you. I wanted to come to New York, but it was impossible.... S: I wanted to talk with you about the Human Rights Council.. I think as you know, we decided to join it so that we could be actively involved and would be able to solve some of these issues. We have been working very closely with the Egypt and the OIC on resolution for freedom of expression. We have agreement and then at last minute we were told that saw wanted to change the wording which would break down consensus. Can we avoid this? N-M: We will do whatever we can to keep our good relations. We are already happy about the way things have been so far. On the issue, we totally agree with you, and thank you for the call. We fully agree with you but we must not block the passing of the resolution; S: Could I call you right back? I understand the concern that your delegation expressed about offensive speech is one that others share. There is a separate consideration going on about that. We had hoped with Egypt as partner we could to have a strong resolution and then we could get back to the other issues. N-M: Therefore it must be allowed to and then whatever be allowed to pass without the vote. we must allow the resolution to be passed. For that it must S: What I would like to do is to understand whether there is a way we could allow this agreed upon language to go forward, and then work together on your concerns. Is that possible? Call down 1310 Reconnected N-M: I was saying to you that we are elated that you are backing the HRC, and we appreciate the amount of work you are doing and the initiative you have undertaking with Egypt.

Hate speech was one of the issues of apartheid, the issue around hate is protected by our constitution... ...the work you have undertaken... We want the resolution to go through. We do appreciate the work you are doing. On the whole, the issue of the hate language is quite sentimental and has been protected in our constitution because of where we come from. 5: I understand the importance. If you would work with us to allow us to pass the resolution that is currently pending, then we could work with you to focus on the areas of hate speech. That would have a combined impact to make it powerful. What we've done with Egypt and the OIC is a first, and when we heard that South Africa would not pass the resolution, we were worried that it would undermine the efforts that we're making on the Human Rights Council. N-M: If it can go through without the vote. It's our constitution and our history, that we take the issue about hate speech very seriously. I'm agreeing with you now, to find a way to have the resolution go through, without the vote S: There are a number of things I want to talk with you about this was most urgent. I will report that back. I appreciate the cooperation. Let's schedule a call in the next week to go over other issues. N-M: Let's talk again in the next week. S: I look forward to it.

Without prejudice to the location of borders, the land being discussed is the territory occupied in 1967. • It is understood that this will be achieved through direct bilateral negotiations which will resolve previously identified issues such as security, borders, settlements, refugees, Jerusalem, relations, and cooperation with other neighbors as well as other issues of common interest. The U.S. will play an active and sustained role in supporting the parties in this effort. The parties will need to: agree on the conduct of the negotiations, reach the necessary agreements and arrangements, and ultimately attain their long awaited mutual reconciliation.

The tally, with returns still coming in: 1. Goldstone-report deferred through extraordinary political work by all of you 2. Freedom of Expression--tonsensus--a landmark achievement in suggesting that there is indeed a universal understanding of freedom of expression that can cut across cultural lines 3. Honduras: consensus 4. Womens' Equality-consensus 5. Human Security issues: US took forward leaning posture USG engaged across the board and got the results it wanted--5 for 5--plus appeared principled and balanced To be honest if we had gotten any 2 of these, I would have felt relieved. Instead we ran the table. There was a stunning performance by 10-DRL-L-AmEmbassy Geneva and various regional bureaus, particularly NEA and WHA and AF, as well as EUR.

It was cleared by JO, PRM, P, D/L, D/S, AF, and assorted others. The problem is that it was not sent to SCA or East Asia and should have been. But the rest of the building signed off on it. Also, it is clear that the reference in the Security Council statement referred to rapes in the past.The first reference is to rape in the DRC and Sudan. Two sentences later we say: "We've seen rape used as a tactic of war before in Bosnia, Burma, Sri Lanka, and elsewhere. " Can you download these documents if I email them to you?

I fear how the 3,000 outlets who have not even noticed this issue will react to this statement.

She feels that this has generated a great deal of media commentary in various quarters, including prominent outlets in this country (LAT) and in Asia that we have no choice but to respond in a public way. Government supporters are saying that she is listening to the Tamil diaspora. What this does is reinforces her statement, but gives the government a little something on recent experience, and then does the pivot to reconciliation and what they need to do now, reinforcing our current policy.

PJ STATEMENT BY THE SPOKESMAN Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in remarks Wednesday before the United Nations Security Council on the adoption of a resolution to combat sexual violence in armed conflict, stated that we have seen rape used as a tactic before in a number of countries. In her statement, she specifically cited Sri Lanka, which prompted an official protest by the Government of Sri Lanka and some news commentary around the world. Regarding the Secretary's reference to Sri Lanka in her address, we want to be clear. Over the course of the difficult conflict between the government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), stretching well into this decade, the State Department as well as credible human rights organizations substantiated numerous reports of rape and sexual violence in Sri Lanka, particularly acts committed against women held in detention by the government. At the same time, in the most recent phase of the conflict, from 2006 to 2009, though we remained deeply concerned about reports of extrajudicial killings, disappearances and mistreatment of detainees, we have not received reports that rape and sexual abuse were used as tools of war, as they clearly have in other conflict areas around the world. We hope that this clarification puts the issue in its proper context. This controversy should not detract from the specific actions that Sri Lanka needs to take now. With the end of the military conflict, Secretary Clinton believes strongly that Sri Lanka must focus to the future and move forward on the promotion of peace and the protection of human rights. The government of Sri Lanka should release more than 250,000 displaced persons who are still confined in camps, and lead a process of genuine political and social reconciliation that changes how the Sinhalese and Tamil people relate to each other. The United States stands ready to assist and support the people of Sri Lanka with these critical challenges.

In her statement, she said that we have seen rape used as a tactic before in a number of countries, including Sri Lanka. Regarding the Secretary's reference to Sri Lanka in her address, we want to be clear.

This was the basis for the Secretary's statement. At the same time, in the most recent phase of the conflict, from 2006 to 2009, though we remained deeply concerned about reports of extrajudicial killings, disappearances and mistreatment of detainees, we have not received reports that rape and sexual abuse were used as tools of war, as they clearly have in other conflict areas around the world.

Saturday, October 3, 2009 11:54 PM Berger, Samuel R. HRC: I wasn't satisfied by my answer to your question about how to gain leverage over the Pakistanis to move them to more aggressively pursue AQ. I've thought about it some more and, while I have no silver bullet, here are some further thoughts. -- My impression is that the Pakistanis have been more cooperative lately in assisting us target some AQ in Pakistan and that, where they hold back, it is less a function of affinity toward AQ and more about with whom AQ is imbedded.. -- In particular, they seem to be more reluctant to target AQ where it is nestled with groups they want to cultivate in the event we "leave" Afghanistan and they need influence there. They have seen that before and will hedge their bets. -- So the first point is that we have to address the reason why they are holding back. If we can disabuse them of the perception that we are leaving Afghanistan, it will be easier to get the Pakistanis to go after AQ in sanctuaries provided by groups which would be part of a future Afghanistan dominated by the Taliban. -- Second, I believe that coercive measures are more likely to be effective if they are targeted against military leaders who give support to AQ and its allies. Assuming we have adequate intelligence, we can go after bank accounts, travel and other reachable assets of individual Pakistani officers, raising the stakes for those supporting the militants without creating an inordinate backlash . Blunter measures of coercion, like conditioning our assistance, are more likely to be counterproductive. Given the level of distrust for us among the Pakistani people, they would see this as another sharp swing of the U.S. pendulum which would harden their attitudes and make greater cooperation very difficult for the Pakistani people to accept. -- There may be greater leverage in giving the Pakistanis incentives to be more aggressive. Of course, the military's calculation is most important. I'm not sure what is on their shopping list these days but we would need to balance what would move the needle on AQ against undercutting our effort to get them to shift their strategic focus away from India. . At the same time, we can be as forward leaning as possible in support of their counterinsurgency capabilities (equipment, training, whatever material, intelligence and other assistance we can give them if they move into Wazeristan -including relief for displaced persons). If they finally take that step, we can do all that is possible to demonstrate that our arrows are aligned with theirs.. -- On the civilian side, their desire for greater control over how Kerry-Lugar money can be used can be played to our strategic advantage. If we give them a greater sense that they are directing the use of these funds -- without greatly undercutting their effectiveness -- it strengthens our position to press them on AQ. -- Finally, there is the defining relationship with India. Are there measures that the Indians could take that would reduce Pakistani anxieties about the Indian front and thus better enable them to focus on threats to the East, including both AQ and anti-Indian militant groups like LET? Are there confidence UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764207 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764207 Date: 07/31/2015 building measures such as information sharing on troop movements that would both reduce uncertainty and support a Pakistani public narrative for a shift in emphasis from India to the militancy?

I am on a plane now — headed back from Istambul. I have not has any time to address this. But I will certainly work on it shortly. And in fact am meeting with David this week to do so. But I also think it is essential to take into account the concerns of the Hill. In Jose's hearings and mine, the committee quite explicitly and directly said they expected us to play significant roles in energy. David should certainly have the lead role, as the secretary has said and as the legislation clearly spells out, but we also need to figure out how we can work together. And I am sure that can be done amicably under david's overall leadership in this area. But H should be consulted and talk to the SFRC before any changes are made to avoid any surprises and be sure they understand what is being done. And, of course, I want to be sure we bring in Jose on any discussions, since he has important interests in this.

I particularly want to make sure we follow-up on energy in your title and making sure lines are clear in that arena to avoid any dropped balls or missed opportunities. I wanted to flag one matter now because the Secretary has asked David Goldwyn during her look-ahead meeting regarding energy, to move forward on several energy security priorities — including engaging with key producers like Brazil, Mexico, Angola and Nigeria as well as addressing energy security concerns with consumers like China and India. Given that E/EEB previously had the lead on energy matters before we had an International Energy Coordinator, I want to make sure you and he are properly and smoothly transitioning matters to him.

The symposium begins at 1 p.m. with about 15-20 minutes of introductory comments by Ambassador Quinn. He would incorporate the video into this opening as her remarks tie together so many of the themes so perfectly. Dr. Ejeta will be on stage at the time; it would be a great moment to honor him, to remember Dr. Borlaug, and to have the Secretary's message foreground the discussions that will follow.

Yeah! cdm From: Dowd, Katie W Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 7:58 PM To: Mills, Cheryl D; Klevorick, Caitlin B Subject: Video Success and Another Idea Cheryl Hope this finds you well. I wanted to update you on the success of the video and also share a new idea with you. Give the statistical results below, I honestly believe this is the State Departments first ever successful instance of policy advocacy via viral video and the impact we have raised is worth noting. I have heard comments from all over the building and outside that this is a new level of creating content/video that is engaging, interesting, educating and that can have long term value for State and partners to use. Bottom-line, we have done something new in raising awareness/attention on a major foreign policy initiative through compelling, and viral video -- the Department of State has raised the bar. It is hard to read the traffic exactly to their sites and ours but here are some initial stats: Top line: Using State.gov, America.gov, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and more, we have use new media and connection technology tools to reach over an estimated 100K audiences domestically and internationally through the video on Food Security and ultimately have brought press and attention to a new focus. This video is engaging in that it raises awareness and education on a critical foreign policy issue. 1: It is one of the top 20 videos viewed on our Youtube channel, with over 5K views and rising. Considering how much video we generate through the daily press briefings and videos through S remarks daily, I think this carries UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764287 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764287 Date: 07/31/2015 tremendous weight that in a short amount of time and little push to reach out to communities we have raised the bar for engaging content through video. 2. Many organizations and users on Youtube have picked up the video and reposted on their channels, for examples it is has been picked up heavily in China from one user who generated 3K views on his own already and I have been told that it has been posted on major Ethiopian blogs through their video channels as well. 3. Over 12,000 (estimated) have visited our main video page through State.gov where the video was featured. 4. Almost 9K people have visited the Global Food Security page through State.gov to get more information. 5. Through pushing out on social networking presences at State, we have reached over 65,000 people who subscribe and follow the Department of State and we pushed this video and the broader FS page to those communities through Facebook, Twitter, and more. Next Steps: 1. We are making DVD's to give to posts 2. Working on distributing to bloggers for continued use 3. Will feature and push video to a larger audience when op-ed runs through a second push 4. Will work to feature prominently on World Food Day 5. Working to translate and subtitle video for usage in countries around the world. New Idea: Cheryl, wanted to talk to you about a new idea that I have presented before but thought about using for FS in a modified form. I discussed with Caitlin and wanted to see if you thought this was a good idea. This proposal is to ask that Secretary Clinton begin an online conversation on Food Security where she can engage with people at home and abroad. 1. Through a video announcement she announces the opening of a global and engaging talk worldwide talk on global hunger and invites people to submit questions on the topic. People can submit questions via video, text, email, comment. 2. The community votes and comments on the best questions submitted by one another and votes on the best ones. 3. After two weeks, Secretary Clinton answers then the top five questions in her own response video. *** We could even bring person with best question to DC to be a citizen journalist for a day and ask the top questions in person. 4. We then use this video as a way to talk about the most frequently asked questions on global hunger, HRC's responses to them and we have engaged a global community on the topic.

Sid Hillary: I'm passing on a note below from Joe Wilson. Sid Dear Madame Secretary, It was great to see you, albeit briefly, at the US —Africa business summit. Your speech spoke to the entire audience as I'm sure you felt from the response. I also appreciate your offer to meet with me the next time we are both in Washington and would like to take you up on it. I am now working with a serious American engineering and construction company, Symbion Power, that has been hugely successful in Iraq and Afghanistan (on fixed cost contracts). It specializes in power plants, substations and transmission towers and lines. It made its name in Iraq constructing transmission towers and pulling lines across al Anbar province at the height of the war there. Its business model is to partner with local companies and to train local employees to do the construction, maintenance and repair, and to provide the security. In Iraq and Afghanistan they established training centers and graduated over 3000 certified linemen. They partner with an American Lineman College in Idaho to provide the ed ucation and certification. We think the model is well adapted to Africa and have already begun work on a training center in Tanzania, where we will be bidding on all of the upcoming MCC financed power generation and distribution projects. I have asked Sid to pass a memory stick with a four minute video that explains what Symbion does and how it does it. I tell you all this, not to tout Symbion (about which I am very enthusiastic) but let you know that we are doing much of what you have been advocating in your public comments about human capacity development. The fact that we have been successful on fixed cost contracts also speaks to your criticism of American companies that have been milking the government with their cost plus contracts for the last nine years. Our goal is to demonstrate that an emphasis on developing local talent is not just the right thing to do but is also good business. I look forward to seeing you the next time I am in Washington. I know how precious your time is, and very much appreciate your generosity. With warm regards and best wishes.

In addition to what katie mentioned-- Institute for International Education (goodman) included it in their weekly email to more than 8000 institutions, Pepsi showed it an internal meeting last week and will show it at a global conference this week, and CGI has gotten feedback about the video and has gotten increased interest in commitments in this area. It has also been pushed out to posts through internal sites. We are also trying to see if we can get it in a rotation or on mtvU or their website and bet as part of the world food day push. From: Dowd, Katie W To: Mills, Cheryl D; Klevorick, Caitlin B Sent: Tue Oct 06 19:57:36 2009 Subject: Video Success and Another Idea Cheryl Hope this finds you well. I wanted to update you on the success of the video and also share a new idea with you. Give the statistical results below, I honestly believe this is the State Departments first ever successful instance of policy advocacy via viral video and the impact we have raised is worth noting. I have heard comments from all over the building and outside that this is a new level of creating content/video that is engaging, interesting, educating and that can have long term value for State and partners to use. Bottom-line, we have done something new in raising awareness/attention on a major foreign policy initiative through compelling, and viral video -- the Department of State has raised the bar. It is hard to read the traffic exactly to their sites and ours but here are some initial stats: Top line: Using State.gov, America.gov, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and more, we have use new media and connection technology tools to reach over an estimated 100K audiences domestically and internationally through the video on Food Security and ultimately have brought press and attention to a new focus. This video is engaging in that it raises awareness and education on a critical foreign policy issue. 1. It is one of the top 20 videos viewed on our Youtube channel, with over 5K views and rising. Considering how much video we generate through the daily press briefings and videos through S remarks daily, I think this carries tremendous weight that in a short amount of time and little push to reach out to communities we have raised the bar for engaging content through video.

Many organizations and users on Youtube have picked up the video and reposted on their channels, for examples it is has been picked up heavily in China from one user who generated 3K views on his own already and I have been told that it has been posted on major Ethiopian blogs through their video channels as well. 3. Over 12,000 (estimated) have visited our main video page through State.gov where the video was featured. 4. Almost 9K people have visited the Global Food Security page through State.gov to get more information. 5. Through pushing out on social networking presences at State, we have reached over 65,000 people who subscribe and follow the Department of State and we pushed this video and the broader FS page to those communities through Facebook, Twitter, and more. Next Steps: 1. We are making DVD's to give to posts 2. Working on distributing to bloggers for continued use 3. Will feature and push video to a larger audience when op-ed runs through a second push 4. Will work to feature prominently on World Food Day 5. Working to translate and subtitle video for usage in countries around the world. New Idea: Cheryl, wanted to talk to you about a new idea that I have presented before but thought about using for FS in a modified form. I discussed with Caitlin and wanted to see if you thought this was a good idea. This proposal is to ask that Secretary Clinton begin an online conversation on Food Security where she can engage with people at home and abroad. 1. Through a video announcement she announces the opening of a global and engaging talk worldwide talk on global hunger and invites people to submit questions on the topic. People can submit questions via video, text, email, comment. 2. The community votes and comments on the best questions submitted by one another and votes on the best ones. 3. After two weeks, Secretary Clinton answers then the top five questions in her own response video. *** We could even bring person with best question to DC to be a citizen journalist for a day and ask the top questions in person. 4. We then use this video as a way to talk about the most frequently asked questions on global hunger, HRC's responses to them and we have engaged a global community on the topic.

We are also doing some press guidance. Regards, Johnnie Madam Secretary, I know you are deeply concerned about reports of ongoing violence and attacks against women that have occurred in Guinea-Conakry. I want to let you know what actions the Africa Bureau is taking to address this crisis. I met with Guinean Foreign Minister Alexandre Cece Loua this morning at 9:00. I expressed our deep outrage at the brutal actions of Guinean security forces against protesters on September 28, which resulted in 157 deaths, hundreds more injured, and the widespread rape of women. I will separately provide you with a formal readout of the meeting. I have also sent one of my Deputies, Bill Fitzgerald, to Conakry, where he met yesterday with President Dadis Camara and expressed the same outrage. We are pressing the government to take immediate actions to stop the violence and to restore constitutional order. We have asked Dadis Camara to step aside and to seek exile in Morocco or another French-speaking country. We have also asked Guinea to invite in observers from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to monitor the actions of the military and developments toward a democratic transition. In addition, we have indicated that we will seek an international investigation in order to arrest and punish the perpetrators of the violence. We have indicated that if the Government of Guinea does not act rapidly, we will pursue sanctions against government officials. In all of these actions, we are consulting with the French, whose views and actions closely mirror ours, as well as with several west African states, including Liberia and Senegal.

Nelson THEARILL Holds, delays on Cabinet picks hurting American businesses By Nelson W. Cunningham - 10/06/09 03:45 PM ET may never have heard of the Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, or the Under Secretary of Treasury for International Affairs. You may have vaguely assumed there was a Deputy United States Trade Representative, and an Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, and an ambassador to Brazil, but never thought much of them or what they do. You But ask American CEOs and business leaders who they turn to in Washington for help getting a fair shake in foreign markets or untying global trade knots, and you will learn that these are the very officials they rely on. Yet today, when every export dollar and trade-supported job is essential to America's economic recovery, these key positions sit empty. And, surprisingly, these five seats are empty because of stalls and behind-the-scenes maneuvers by Senate Republicans — usually key allies of U.S. business. In each case, the names went up months ago. The nominees have strong credentials and many have demonstrated strong bipartisan support. The reasons for the holds and delays vary. But even if the blocking actions are unrelated, collectively they deny American businesses their most effective overseas advocates. •Miriam Sapiro, who was unanimously approved by the Finance Committee in July to be Deputy United States Trade Representative with responsibility for trade agreements and enforcement with Europe and the Americas (including NAFTA), has a one-man hold by Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) over a Canadian tobacco bill. •Arturo Valenzuela, nominee for Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere, was overwhelmingly approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July, but Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) has a one-man hold on Valenzuela as a protest against the administration's Honduras policy. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764301 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764301 Date: 07/31/2015 •Thomas Shannon, nominee for ambassador. to Brazil, is also being blocked by Sen. DeMint over Honduras. Shannon is hardly political, but is a career foreign service officer who was President Bush's top official for Latin America at the NSC and then the State Department. •Francisco Sanchez, nominated in April to be Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, responsible for advancing U.S. export and trade opportunities around the world. Republican staff under Sen.. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on the Finance Committee have repeatedly delayed a hearing. •Lael Brainard, nominated in March to be Under Secretary of Treasury for International Affairs, is also being held up by the Republican staff on the Finance Committee. With an empty chair in this powerful position — it was previously held by future Treasury Secretaries Timothy Geithner and Lawrence Summers — our ability to coordinate a response to the financial crisis is hampered at a time when we can't afford it. Who is hurt by these holds and staff delays? Certainly the president, who is facing the worst economic crisis in 50 years, a stalled trade agenda, and economic and political turmoil in many parts of Latin America, including the hot-button crisis in Honduras. But U.S. businesses are also hurt. When American companies find themselves in commercial or trade disputes abroad, or face unfair competition from foreign companies or discriminatory practices from regulators, they turn directly to the roster above. With all these chairs empty, U.S. businesses with problems abroad find themselves facing a classic Goldilocks problem — the Cabinet secretaries above are too big (and too busy); and the officials below are too small to have an impact at the right levels. Moreover, the international economic issues of greatest interest to U.S. businesses are precisely the ones that are being hampered by these vacancies: balanced and coordinated growth out of the Great Recession, promotion of job-generating U.S. exports, delayed trade agreements with Colombia and Panama, barriers into Brazil's huge market, trade tensions with Canada (our largest trading partner) and security and border issues with Mexico (our second-largest), among many others. And while all U.S. business interests overseas are affected by these vacancies, it is our business and political interests in the Americas that are being hit most directly, because of the responsibilities and expertise of the five nominees: Predictably, this lamentable situation is renewing cries from our neighbors that even under a promising new president, they continue to be neglected. And as importantly, our ability to help shape political and economic events in our hemisphere to advance U.S. interests is suffering greatly. Who wins when we can't act? Our foreign competitors; not just foreign companies, but Hugo Chavez and his anti-democratic allies. All this is not to cast blame on the United States Senate, which has a constitutional duty to provide "advice and consent" on presidential nominations (though it may cause one to question the tradition that permits a single senator to put an indefinite hold on a nominee). Nor is it to cast blame solely on Republican members or staff. Democratic senators and their staffs used these same parliamentary maneuvers under Republican presidents. But it is to say that those who engage in those tactics now — at a time of global economic crisis and with growing financial, trade and political frictions in our own hemisphere — should be reminded of the harm done to important U.S. interests. In the days after 9/11, the Democratically-controlled Senate moved swiftly to confirm the U.N. ambassador and other stalled security-related posts. Today's circumstances are not the same by any means, but as we confront the worst economic crisis in over 50 years, these are surely no ordinary times. The time has come for the Senate to carry out its constitutional duty and to end the delays on these five key commerce and trade nominations. American business deserves an A Team by its side.

Sid Hillary: FYI: I found this one of the most sensible and informed brief articles on Afghanistan. Patrick Cockburn, of the London Independent, is one of the best informed on-the-ground journalists. He was almost always correct on Iraq. Sid Patrick Cockburn: To say this war must be won in a year is nonsense http://www.independent co.uk/opinion/commentators/patrick-cockbum-to-say-this-war-must-be-wonin-a-year-is-nonsense-1799296.html Thursday, 8 October 2009 SPONSORED LINKS: Eight years ago I was standing on a hill 50 miles north of Kabul watching the flashes in the night sky as the US air strikes started again st the Taliban front line. There were a few ineffective puffs of fire from Taliban anti-aircraft guns which could do nothing against the bombs and missiles raining down on them. It was a strange war to cover, not least because so little real fighting took place. The reputation of the Afghan fighting man is partly based on agilely joining the winning side at the right moment. In the meantime they don't fight too hard for anybody and try to avoid getting killed. The US and British press mostly reported the war of 2001 as a real military conflict and rather missed the point that the Taliban had just gone home. I remember visiting the former headquarters of a Taliban armoured brigade in the city of Ghazni south west of Kabul. The tanks and armoured vehicles had all been smashed to pieces by American bombs, but when I asked local people how many men the Taliban had lost, I was told "none at all. They could see what was going to happen so they just ran away." Just as the US military victory of 2001 was overstated, so eight years later is the sense of military crisis which is being busily stoked by Gen Stanley A McChrystal, the top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan. In Washington military officials are quoted as saying that the war will be won or lost in the next twelve months. This is nonsense. The Taliban have been able to advance so rapidly in the last three years because they have Pakistani backing and because of the spectacular political and military weakness of President Hamid Karzai's government. But the Taliban draw all their strength from the Pashtun community, which makes up 42 per cent of the Afghan population. They will have great difficulty advancing into areas occupied by the other 58 per cent of the population where there is a Tajik, Hazara or Uzbek majority. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764318 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764318 Date: 07/31/2015 Squads of six or eight Taliban on motorcycles might be harassing the roads around Kabul, but there is no need to treat them as if they were North Vietnamese divisions at the gates of Saigon in 1975. The strength of the Taliban is that not that they can take and hold territory, but that they can inflict quite small military losses on the US which are politically unacceptable back home. They can do this through roadside bombs, something the US army speaks as i f it were a new device, though it was being used against the British army in Ireland in 1921. If the Americans and British try to hold territory supposedly cleared of Taliban with penny packets of troops then these are vulnerable to being suddenly targeted by the other side. It is to prevent this happening that Gen McChrystal has asked for an extra 40,000 soldiers. But Afghans tell me that more foreign troops will simply mean more violence and dead Afghans as more of the country becomes a battlefield. It is absurd to imagine that the world's most heavily equipped military force is not going to use its weapons when it comes under attack. Polls also show that Taliban support is at its height in just those areas where Afghan civilians have been killed by American shells and bombs. So what should Obama do? First of all he has time. He is not going to win or lose the war in the next year. Like it or not he is stuck with Mr Karzai and he should get used to the idea. It is reasonable to suggest helping to produce a larger Afghan army and police force but this cannot be done overnight. Most military recruits are there for the money and are too malnourished even to wear American flack jackets. Speeding up security training f or Afghan police meant over the summer that terrified men, often on heroin, were being sent to man dangerous and isolated police posts with just three weeks training. Many of them did not come back. One way Obama could strengthen the Afghan army and police is to make sure their men are paid properly. In Kabul many facilities are being guarded by policemen earning $70 a month, which is not enough to live on unless supplemented with bribes. This contrasts with $250,000 a year paid to foreign consultants who lurk inside heavily defended compounds. Paying the Iraqi army properly really did make a difference in Baghdad and might do the same in Afghanistan where 40 per cent of men are unemployed. A difference is that Iraqi oil revenues last year were $62 billion while the Afghan government is dependent on foreign aid. The US and its allies will have to pay. It is carefully thought out measures like this that Obama should be considering and not the panicky dispatch of US Special Forces or tens of thousand of more troops.

Faleomavaega Chairman The Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and the Global Environment FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Washington, D.C. Contact: Dr. Lisa Williams (202) 225-8577 SECRETARY CLINTON GETS IT DONE; EMERGENCY RELIEF SUPPLIES TO BE AIRLIFTED FROM GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA TO SAMOA IN RESPONSE TO DEVASTATING TSUNAMI Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and the Global Environment, Congressman Eni F.H. Faleomavaega, and Congresswoman Laura Richardson (D-CA), announced today that the U.S. Department of State called them this morning to inform them that Secretary Clinton has authorized the use of funds from the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) to get emergency relief supplies airlifted from the greater Los Angeles area to Samoa in response to the devastating tsunami that struck Apia on September 29. In his capacity as Chairman of the Asia Pacific Subcommittee which has broad jurisdiction for U.S. foreign policy affecting the region, including Samoa, Chairman Faleomavaega personally spoke to Secretary Clinton on Oct 1 and, in letters dated Oct 4 and Oct 5, followed up with her regarding the specific need to airlift emergency supplies to Apia, which were gathered by the Samoan communities and congregations in the greater Los Angeles area. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764758 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764758 Date: 07/31/2015 The Samoan communities in the greater Los Angeles directly contacted Faleomavaega for assistance because many of their families and relatives live in his district of American Samoa or Samoa. Congresswoman Laura Richardson has worked closely with Faleomavaega throughout this process given that she represents part of the greater Los Angeles area, and the Samoan communities living in that area are her constituents, "I want to personally thank Secretary Clinton for her untiring efforts in getting these relief supplies airlifted," Chairman Faleomavaega said. "Since the tsunami struck, Secretary Clinton has spared no effort in coming to our aid, and even called upon the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to quickly move these supplies from the West Coast to Samoa. Last evening, Congresswoman Richardson and I learned that DOD had agreed to move the supplies but that due to legalities of moving privately-donated goods, the process would take too long." "In a previous conference call yesterday, anticipating that DOD might be unable to quickly move these supplies, we requested the State Department to fund a commercial flight through the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance should we encounter any problems with DOD," Faleomavaega and Rep. Richardson said. "Last night, upon learning that the DOD process would take too long and in consideration of our request for a more immediate airlift, Secretary Clinton assessed the options while en route to Europe, and this morning the State Department informed us that Secretary Clinton has agreed to fund the flight with OFDA funds." "The agreement is that this will be a one-time airlift, and our Samoan communities should make future donations in cash, rather than in commodities. We will not be able to airlift frozen goods, and our offices will work closely with the communities to gather the supplies to a central location for the airlift. Also, the airlift provided by the U.S. Department of State can only be authorized to land in Samoa. While we were also hopeful to get supplies in to American Samoa, all matters relating to American Samoa are decided between the Governor and FEMA, according to federal law." "I know from my meeting earlier this week with Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi that he is thankful to the Samoan congregations and communities in the greater Los Angeles area who responded from the heart by collecting critical supplies that will now be airlifted to those in need," Faleomavaega said. "For this reason, I want to thank the Prime Minister for agreeing to accept this gift, and I also want to thank Reverend Liki Tiatia, Reverend John Mailo, Reverend Misipauena Tagaloa, and High Chief Loa Pele Faletogo for all the good work they have done. Reverend Tiatia and Reverend Mailo will be taking a flight to Samoa to make the presentation to the Government of Samoa on behalf of our Samoan community on the West Coast and also on behalf of Congresswoman Richardson and myself." "I especially want to thank Congresswoman Richardson for working around the clock in support of our Samoan communities living in her district, and in Samoa and American Samoa," Faleomavaega continued. "Congresswoman Richardson has stood by us every step of the way and has left no stone unturned in getting this done. She has been staunch and solid in her dedication to us, and has earned her rightful place in our hearts. It is my honor to welcome Congresswoman Richardson into our Pacific Island family." "With so many people in need of basic supplies in Samoa, it has been a privilege to work with Chairman Faleomavaega to assist the people of my district in making sure the items they UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764758 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764758 Date: 07/31/2015 have collected will soon be in the hands of their families and friends," Congresswoman Richardson said. "This feat is only possible because of the dedication of Chairman Faleomavaega and Secretary Clinton. Over 60 local organizations in the 37th district of California, including church groups, non-profit organizations and caring others collected over 100,000 pounds of essential items to send to victims of the tragedy that recently occurred. The lives of thousands of Samoans will be immediately and directly improved by the actions taken by Secretary Clinton, Chairman Faleomavaega and all of us who answered the call to help. I am proud to be a part of this exceptional team." "It is clear that change has come and that Secretary Clinton is restoring America's stature once again, especially in a part of the world that the U.S. has too long neglected. We thank Secretary Clinton for her leadership and commitment, and for standing with the people of Samoa when they need her most, and we continue to extend our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who are suffering so much," Faleomavaega and Rep. Richardson concluded.

"It's just too weak," he told me. "It doesn't do enough It doesn't achieve real cost savings. There's no real competition. It's pretty much a wish list for the insurance companies." And those were merely Weiner's substantive criticisms of the bill. His political assessment was even harsher: "It's effectively dead," he said. Not a droplet of Weiner's dismissal of the Baucus plan came as any sort of shock; he's been trashing the Senate Finance Committee's efforts for weeks. What's surprising is that anyone gives a fig what Weiner has to say about the topic in the first place. Until six months ago, after all, the congressman was known more for his yearning to acquire the keys to Gracie Mansion than his mastery of the arcana of Medicare reimbursement rates. In fact, as Weiner would be the first to admit, his interest in, knowledge of, and record on health-care reform were perilously close to nonexistent. And yet, since May, when he concluded that taking on Mike Bloomberg was a challenge that went beyond the Sisyphean into the realm of the just plain silly, Weiner has emerged as one of the few real stars in the marathon health-care debate: the clearest and savviest (and, as always, loudest and noodgiest) voice in favor of the public option. And though it's plain that whatever bill eventually lands on Barack Obama's desk—and, yes, I think the odds are now close to overwhelming that a big pile of health-care paper will wind up there—won't be anything close to Weiner's single-payer dream, his role in framing the terms of the discussion has been more than salutary. In some non-obvious ways, you could argue that it's been essential. I should confess at the outset that I have a long-standing soft spot for Weiner, whom I first met more than twenty years ago, when he was a budding Chuck Schumer protégé and we played on the same Capitol Hill softball team. Weiner then was strikingly similar to Weiner now: amped-up, ambitious, wicked smart, forever gauging all the angles, unafraid of being (actually, proud of being) a royal pain in the tuchis. All the qualities, in other words, that have served him so well in the wrangle over health care. Weiner describes his efflorescence on the subject as a matter of opportunism, in the best sense of the word. "This was one of those unusual issues where we really didn't have a mother ship that was directing the message, and that created an entrepreneurial environment," he says. "You didn't have the president out there speaking clearly about what he wanted. And among my colleagues, there weren't people that jumped out who either had a comfort with the material or weren't intimidated by the blowback" Weiner laughs. "Frankly, I like the blowback. After my thirteenth townhall meeting, someone on my staff said, 'I can't tell if you're a sadist or a masochist.— Weiner is right about the nature of the vacuum that he smartly stepped in to fill, but there are at least two other proximate causes for it that should be added to his list: the illness and death of Ted Kennedy and the migration of Hillary Clinton out of the Senate and into Foggy Bottom, which deprived the debate of what would have been its two dominant liberal protagonists. For Weiner, Clinton's absence and its implications carry a personal twist; he is engaged to Huma Abedin, Hillary's longtime personal aide. "It's a weird irony that I'm kind of part of the family now and this has become my issue," Weiner says. "If Hillary had stayed in the Senate, I would never have had this opening." Weiner allows that he's discussed the health-care battle with Clinton; what she's told him he will not say. But one imagines she approves of the cleverness and chutzpa he's displayed—especially in drawing an explicit analogy between the public option and Medicare, an equation that not only increases support for the proposal among voters but flushes out the phoniness of the Republican howls against a "government takeover" of health care. And one similarly imagines Madame Secretary's chagrin at watching the Obama White House pursue a dance-of-the-seven-veils strategy explicitly designed to be the antithesis of the one she employed back in 1993 and 1994. Weiner's view of the administration's approach hasn't exactly been approving—a point he's made abundantly and consistently clear over the past months. On the eve of Obama's September speech before a joint session of Congress, Weiner cracked that "up to now, the messaging from the White House has been done by Sybil ... They seem to have a different perspective on this every couple of hours." And he's apparently had no change of heart. "The president has been a miserable messenger on this by and large," he tells me. Such criticisms haven't gone unnoticed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, in no small part because Weiner—in a testament to his consistency, lunacy, inability to shut up, or all three—hasn't shied away from making them directly. Indeed, on a recent flight back to Washington from New York on Air Force One, I'm told by one congressman who witnessed the scene, Weiner got into a testy UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764805 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764805 Date: 07/31/2015 exchange with Obama over the former's ideas about how the latter might better prosecute the case for reform. When I ask Weiner about the incident, he refuses to divulge details, but notes that when it was over, the president said to him drily, "I hope you're enjoying your last trip on Air Force One." "He was kidding—I think," adds Weiner. In truth, Weiner has been on the receiving end of zero complaints from the White House for his potshots. "I see Rahm [Emanuel] at the House gym every morning, and he's never beefed to me about this once," Weiner says. "I think he needs this pressure from the left—it serves them. They needed someone to generate the heat of their base to give them the space to be the moderate voice. I'm convinced that if it weren't me, they'd have to create me." Weiner's theory is self-serving, but it makes a kind of sense. Over the summer, Weiner, by threatening to bottle up a vote on the main House health-care bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee, forced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to grant him a floor vote this fall on a single-payer plan. Weiner believes in single-payer as a matter of policy—but he also sees the political advantage of putting forward a proposal that will at once satisfy certain elements of the base and create the appearance that the public option is itself a compromise toward the center. And his adamant advocacy of a robust public option itself generates breathing room for the sort of modified version that might win approval in both the House and Senate. What Weiner has no doubt about now is that the final legislation will include just such a provision—because without it, there simply aren't the votes in the House to pass a bill. "I think President Obama will put his finger on the scale at some point," he says. In the end, it's going to be simpler to corral one or two senators to accept a public option with some modifications than it's going to be to get a hundred House members off their rebellious screed. From what Weiner can divine from Emanuel and others in the White House, this kind of brass-tacks calculation—not the policy merits, not even the long-range political ramifications—is all that matters now. Obama's bizarro, out-of-nowhere acquisition of the Nobel Peace Prize at the end of last week notwithstanding, the president has had a rough few months and badly needs to put a win on the board. And no one is looking to make that any harder than it's been already. To illustrate why that means the public option will prevail, Weiner colorfully sketches out his vision of the endgame: "Obama goes to Nancy and says, 'I've decided I'm giving up the public option.'

Your message and the significance carried in delivering it personally was reflected in the silence that came over the audience of over 2,000 people when you began speaking and the furious applause heard afterwards. While not the only GLIFAA member in attendance that night to receive the award, as the only Foreign Service Officer there to witness the event, the award held special significance for me. Your message had the greatest impact on everyone attending the Out & Equal Summit this year, but as a direct beneficiary of your work I was especially touched and awed. It is you, Under Secretary Kennedy, and all the senior staff of the Department that truly deserve this honor. As an FSO with a domestic partner, your efforts to bring equality to State have allowed me to stay in a career I love. Thank you for all you are doing for the LGBT community, for the Foreign and Civil Service, and for the opportunity to attend such a conference. I am once again proud to represent the Foreign Service, the Department of State, and the Bureau of Intelligence and Research.

Phillip T. Slattery Senior Watch Officer From: Snipes, Christopher K Sent: Friday, October 16, 2009 8:16 AM To: Slattery, Phillip T Subject: Egypt delays signing of Palestinian unity pact By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Egypt has delayed the signing of a deal to heal the rift between President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and the rival Palestinian Islamist group Hamas because of "new complications", an Egyptian official said on Friday. He cited the growing tension between Fatah and Hamas over the handling by Abbas of a U.N. report criticising the Israeli military offensive into Gaza in December and January. Cairo had slated a signing ceremony for October 25. The agreement would resolve nothing immediately but would outline steps to restore Palestinian unity. Hamas runs the Gaza Strip and Fatah dominates in the Israelioccupied West Bank. The official told Reuters no new date was set for signing. "Egypt saw it was better to delay until there is a suitable atmosphere," he said. Abbas admits his government erred in approving a U.N. decision in Geneva two weeks ago to delay action on the so-called Goldstone report, which is particularly critical of Israel for alleged war crimes during the Gaza offensive. He has reversed course and the issue was being reconsidered on Friday at a special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva, which Abbas requested. "We are not going to let things collapse," said another Egyptian official of his country's lengthy mediation between the Palestinian factions which began over a year ago. "We will wait until the dust settles and activate efforts again and I hope that will be very soon." The deal would postpone Palestinian presidential and parliamentarian elections until June 28, 2010. Fatah has signed it and this week Abbas announced that if Hamas did not sign he would go ahead with elections in January as called for by the constitution. It is unclear how Fatah would be able to hold a full election since Hamas has vowed to block voting in Gaza if the ballot was scheduled without its agreement.

He said failure to reach an agreement could delay the vote "indefinitely", which would prolong the divisions and weaken Abbas's peace approach. Hamas officials said they had asked Cairo for another three days to give a final response. \\10.40.0.17\ReutersFeedAm1Data\2009-10-16T103716Z_Ol_LG580148_RTRIDST_O_PALESTINIANSEGYPT-FACTIONS XML Regards, Chris Snipes Watch Officer State Department Operations Center 202-647-1512 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764842 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764846 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Abedin, Huma Friday, October 16, 2009 8:29 AM No votes; US Netherlands Italy Hungary Ukraine Slovakia UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764846 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764847 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Abedin, Huma Friday, October 16, 2009 8:30 AM Fw: Goldstone report From esther Original Message ---From: Brimmer, Esther D To: Abedin, Huma Sent: Fri Oct 16 08:28:29 2009 Subject: RE: Goldstone report Huma, No votes; US Netherlands Italy Hungary Ukraine Slovakia From our charge Doug Griffiths: Did not vote: UK France Madagascar Kyrgyzstan, Angola UK, France decision to not vote was after last minute discussions between Pres and Prime Minister.

Under a previous order of the House, the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Ros-Lehtinen) is recognized for 5 minutes. Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my longstanding commitment to assist the Haitian people in their pursuit of a stable, prosperous and democratic future. During my trip to Haiti, I was reminded of the tremendous challenges facing this island nation. The U.N.'s appointment of President Clinton as special envoy to Haiti has helped to keep a much-needed spotlight on Haiti. President Clinton's appointment of Dr. Paul Farmer as the Deputy U.N. Special Envoy for Haiti, adds an invaluable wealth of experience and knowledge to the U.N.'s work in Haiti. As a founder of Partners in Health and the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti, Dr. Farmer has demonstrated a selfless commitment to the advancement of health and democracy in Haiti for the past 20 years. I have witnessed firsthand Dr. Farmer's dedication to helping improve the lives of those in need. He has strong south Florida ties. I am proud to call him a friend, along with our mutual friend, Jennie Block, who has also worked so hard on issues of concern to the Haitian community. I understand that the conference on the Inter-American Development Bank in Haiti went quite well. I was pleased to see that the United Nations voted unanimously this week to extend the authorization for the U.N. Mission in Haiti for another year. I would also like to take a moment to express my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in last weekend's plane crash during a U.N. mission. The U.N. mission in Haiti has helped to play an important role in bringing security and stability to some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Haiti.

From assistance to debt relief, from trade benefits to hurricane recovery, U.S. policy toward Haiti has run the gamut, but it is not achieving the long-term goals that we had hoped for for the Haitian people and that the Haitian people want for themselves and their nation. I am pleased to know that our State Department is taking'a closerlook at some of the challenges we are facing in Haiti. Last week, Secretary Clinton's chief of staff and her point person on Haiti briefed Members on some of the initial findings of this review. I am confident that this review will help us to better understand how U.S. assistance to Haiti can be better targeted and supportive of Haiti's own plans and goals; how assistance within the donor community can be better coordinated; how the U.S. can better engage the Haitian Diaspora in our assistance efforts; and, finally, how the U.S. can finally make our assistance sustainable so that outside efforts can ultimately be transferred into the hands of the Haitian government and its people. It is crucial that the efforts made by the U.S., the U.N. and others are effectively coordinated to ensure maximum efficiency and maximum benefit for the people of Haiti. Innovative microcredit and microenterprise programs would help to empower individuals, create self-reliance and create sustainability at the grassroots level. We should also look at the very small-scale renewable energy programs for impoverished rural villages and settlements that are not served by electric grids. One of the immediate ways we can help the people of Haiti would be to grant temporary protected status to the Haitians currently living in the U.S. Granting TPS to Haitians is the missing piece of a successful U.S. approach to supporting the people of Haiti in the short and long term. I will continue to work with my colleagues to encourage the administration to take this important step. In addition, I will continue to support Haiti's inclusion in security initiatives, such as the Merida Initiative, to ensure that the U.S. is doing all we can to help President Preval in his efforts against the narcotraffickers. Success in Haiti is in the U.S. national security interest, and we must work together to help address the many challenges we face and that our Caribbean neighbor faces day in and day out.

ICC Prosecutor receives Palestinian Minister of Justice, Arab League and Independent FactFinding Committee ICC-OTP-20091016-PR465 On 16 October, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Luis Moreno-Ocampo, received a Palestinian delegation headed by Dr. Ali Khashan, Minister of Justice of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). Dr. Khashan was accompanied by the Palestinian Ambassador to the Netherlands, Nabil Abuznaid, and a team of legal experts including Vaughan Lowe QC, Professor of International Law at Oxford University. The Prosecutor also received members of the Independent Fact-finding Committee led by Professor John Dugard and members of the Arab League Secretariat, in the context of ongoing consultations. The PNA delegation submitted a preliminary report presenting its legal arguments in support of the declaration lodged on 22 January 2009, accepting the jurisdiction of the Court over crimes committed in Palestine. The Office will carefully examine all supporting arguments submitted, starting with the initial issue of whether the declaration by the PNA accepting the exercise of jurisdiction by the ICC meets statutory requirements. The Prosecutor said UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764855 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764855 Date: 07/31/2015 "We appreciate the efforts undertaken by the PNA and the extensive legal arguments presented on a highly complex area of law." A further report is to be presented by the PNA in the near future, clarifying additional issues discussed during the meeting. Palestinian delegations previously visited the Court on 22 January and 13 February 2009.

But I have to say the way in which these papers have been tasked has been, frankly, chaotic. For two Fridays in a row we were sent taskers after 9 or 10 pm with short deadlines, and fulfillment of one set of requirements has only led to another. We also note that there has not generally been an effort to distinguish among bureaus in terms of substantive responsibilities and NEA has repeatedly had to refer USUN-W to other bureaus, especially PRM and somewhat mystifyingly, 10. I am honestly not quite sure what is needed now. There is already an 10-drafted paper on Israel in the UN that I cleared Friday evening. Are you asking us to script her on that topic for her meetings? I doubt very much that Ambassador Rice's interlocutors will seek to draw her into a discussion of the Israeli or Palestinian economies and I can't think why she would raise that topic with them and what policy points we would expect her to make in the context of her visit. If you really need background papers on the two economies, we can give you them. We'll work on the BCLs at 00B Monday with input from posts. Our aim is to provide Amb Rice maximum support.

We continue to scrounge up the last bits and pieces from the field and here, but we've given the main briefing books to Amb. Rice who is digesting them now, and we'll get her add ons tomorrow. After going through things briefly with her this afternoon, there is one request that we have on the substantive front. We'd like to get (at whatever classification level is appropriate) really two additional meaty papers for her meetings with Netanyahu and Liberman. These would supplement the material in her book. We are aware that these will be tough meetings, but we also view them as a good opportunity to also cover a lot of ground. There are a lot of issues not in the current papers that could come up: from Israel in the UN system, to Iran, to settlements, to the current Temple Mount crisis, to the Israel and Palestinian economies, to the security barrier, etc.. Tom and his team may have additional issues they'd like her to raise as well. She'd like to be over prepared for these meetings and realizes that the SBU format has not given your team the latitude to get that done. In these two cases could we get classified supplemental for her BCLs with lots of background, TPs, etc. Please blow off any length requirements, etc. — longer and more comprehensive is better in this case. We know that doing these over the weekend is unreasonable. We can arrange to get these to her after she lands in Israel. Would it be possible — on the high side — to get these two additional pieces by COB Monday? - Erica Erica J. Barks-Ruggles Deputy to the Permanent Representative to the UN Tel: +1-202-736-7555.

The Senate Judiciary Committee last week was reviewing an amendment by Sen. Richard Durbin (D-I11.) to the USA Patriot Act to clarify the legal standard needed for an investigation under the act. The amendment was intended to provide greater protections from abuse by investigators. His colleague, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), spoke in opposition, agreeing with committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and ranking Republican Jeff Sessions (Ala.) that additional protections are not needed. "I would just point to the actual language in here," Klobuchar said, "which is, it's not like this is some pie-inthe-sky standard here. I mean, it specifically says," she noted approvingly, reading aloud from the bill, that there have to be "reasonable grounds to believe that the information sought is relevant to an authorized national security investigation," and you can't investigate someone just for exercising free speech rights and there's got to be some suspected foreign agent involved. "So I just, for anyone listening to this, it is not like there is no standard," she concluded. "There is a standard in place here." "That's the standard that is in the bill now?" Sessions asked. Klobuchar nodded that it was. No it's not, Durbin interrupted. "Senator Klobuchar, you just read my amendment," not the bill, he said -- "and I think it's critically important that you understand what we're establishing here." Whatever. Klobuchar voted against the amendment, which got only a handful of votes anyway. Blame the gatekeeper The usual pattern at the State Department is that the new secretary arrives at Foggy Bottom for the first day of work and enters to rousing cheers from career Foreign Service folks hoping the new boss will actually heed their expert advice. (They are, by nature, an optimistic crowd.) UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765054 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05765054 Date: 07/31/2015 Then, after 7 months, 8 days and 12 hours, on average, the grumbling begins that the secretary is "not accessible" to senior career folks, that she's overly protected by her personal staff, that the promised "open door" has slammed shut. The fingers start pointing, usually at the secretary's chief of staff. These days, that's Cheryl Mills, who holds that post for Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. We're hearing complaints even from members of the inner circle that the overworked Mills -- chief of staff, counselor, overseer of Haiti policy and food security policy and the department motor pool (okay, not really) -has made entry to Clinton's suite something like penetrating the Green Zone in Baghdad. Not so, says Undersecretary of State William Burns, the department's top career official. "This secretary is in touch every day with as many people across the department as possible, and Cheryl is a big part of making that happen." Another senior State official said Clinton has been on the road a lot: Asia in July and Africa in August and Ireland and Moscow just the other day, and soon she'll be back on the road, pretty much until Thanksgiving. There have also been a bunch of meetings of late on AfPak matters. Hey, just telling you what we're hearing. In a timely fashion ... The Loop Better-Late-Than-Never award this year goes to the State Department's personnel bureau. The bureau, in an Oct. 13 notice, said it had awarded a $1.6 million contract to Campion Services Inc. in West Lafayette, Ind., to "assist the department in ensuring that all examinations for Foreign Service [jobs] have been professionally validated and constitute a reliable means of identifying those applicants with the greatest possibility of success in the foreign service." Well, good thing the department's only been hiring for a couple of hundred years. The rest of the résumé The White House last week announced that President Obama had selected Jessie H. Roberson, a nuclear expert and senior vice president of environmental affairs for the Atlantic Sea Island Group, to be a member of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. The bio notes her previous jobs, even her undergraduate degree in nuclear engineering. Name sounds familiar. Roberson, Roberson: Wasn't she Dubya's appointee as assistant secretary of the Energy Department for environmental management, the $6 billion-a-year weapons cleanup program? That's not mentioned in the White House release, but she was there from 2001 to 2004. Waterboarding for kids? WGDB, Part II: Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) must be feeling stressed these days over the travails of his pal, Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.). For those who missed it, Coburn took to the Senate floor last week to decry federal deficits, which are not, for him, an abstraction. "It is deeply personal with me," Coburn explained. "I have five grandchildren. I look in their eyes, and I see the potential of their lives and all of these other children who are out there. You know what? We are going to waterboard them. That is what we are going to do. We are going to waterboard them. We are going to flood them with debt. We are going to shackle their opportunities. We are going to limit their possibilities because we don't have the courage to make the difference for their future."

Please let me know if you would like any further information. Thanks, Mike United States Institute of Peace: Background Proposals for the creation of a government "peace" agency stretch as far back as a proposal in 1792 to create a "Peace Office" on par with the War Department. Between 1935 and 1976 over 140 bills were introduced in Congress to establish peace-related agencies, departments, bureaus, and committees of Congress. In 1979 Congress established the Commission on Proposals for the National Academy of Peace and Conflict Resolution. In 1981, the Commission — known as the Matsunaga Commission for its head, Senator Spark Matsunaga — recommended the creation of a national peace academy. In 1984, President Reagan signed the United States Institute of Peace Act and the first meeting of USIP's Board of Directors took place in 1986. The USIP Act established "an independent, nonprofit, national institute to serve the people and the Government through the widest possible range of education and trainings, basic and applied research opportunities, and peace information services on the means to promote international peace and the resolution of conflicts among the nations and peoples of the world without recourse to violence." USIP is an independent agency, funded by Congress, which serves as an intersection between those involved in policy research, fieldwork, and practitioners. More than 70 USIP policy experts conduct research on a wide variety of countryspecific and cross-cutting functional issues. Some examples of USIP activities include: ® Working in countries such as Iraq, Sudan, Nigeria, Uganda, Pakistan, and Afghanistan to mediate and facilitate dialogue among parties in conflict, promote the rule of law, strengthen civil society and education systems, and educating the public through events, films, and other outreach.

Our discussions on the finances have been careful, detailed and considered and I am grateful to you for the time you have given to them. Together we have, I believe, achieved an outcome in which we each have confidence and which will ensure that when policing and justice powers are transferred, the Northern Ireland Justice Department will have a secure financial foundation which we all recognise is important in ensuring confidence in the policing and justice services across the community. I believe the settlement which is outlined below is a good settlement which will meet the needs of a devolved Justice Department. The key elements of the settlement are: The Northern Ireland Executive will have access to the reserve to meet any exceptional security pressures relating to policing and justice. On the same basis, HM Treasury will be prepared to make available up to an additional £37.4 million in 2010/11. Capital budgets in the next CSR period will be sufficient to enable the Executive to take forward routine, but necessary work, to maintain the operational capacity of existing assets, to complete the police training college and to come to its own view about the relative priorities for new capital expenditure including Maoilligan Prison and other projects in the period ahead. The legal aid allocation is a £20 million a year addition to baseline through to the end of 2012/13, after which efficiency savings will be expected to take effect, allowing the baseline increase to be reduced to £14 million a year. To meet additional pressures over UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764498 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764498 Date: 07/31/2015 • -2- the next two years, including other courts pressures, we agree the need on a one-off basis for a further £12 million. If, in the event, pressures turn out to be higher than this, HM Treasury will provide further money from the reserve up to a maximum of £39 million. Until the end of 2012/13 this access to the reserve will not be recouped from future EYF. HM Government will gift the four agreed former military bases to the Northern Ireland Executive. It would be anticipated that a portion of the land in Omagh will be used for an educational campus but it would be expected that disposal proceeds from the other sites would be used, on a basis agreed with HM Treasury, to meet exceptional resource pressures (including potentially equal pay claims). HM Treasury will work with the Northern Ireland Executive to help ensure that any timing issues, related to delays in securing these disposal proceeds as a consequence of market conditions, can be addressed on an agreed basis. On police pensions, previously identified pressures of £101 million can be fully addressed through technical changes which will include a public expenditure neutral DEL to AME reclassification. There are potential pressures (the "long list") of around £15 million in 2010/11 on resources relating to policing, prisons and probation. This should fall to around £10 million a year in the next CSR period. Baselines will need to be sufficient to meet these pressures. in addition £30 million in unallocated EYF and underspends generated in future years will be available to meet pressures. Prior to devolution the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and the head of the PSNI will agree on how front-line policing is protected while ensuring the greatest efficiency. Hearing Loss. The Northern Ireland Executive will meet .the first £12m of claims in any one year. Any sums incurred above that will be met through access to the reserve, based on annual agreement between the Northern Ireland Executive and HM Treasury on the litigation strategy. To assist the Northern Ireland Executive to meet the expected £12m a year pressure, the Treasury will be prepared to acquire from the Northern Ireland Executive sellable assets UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764498 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764498 Date: 07/31/2015 3- worth up to £12 million a year for five years, or £60 million in total. HM Treasury and Northern Ireland Executive will need to agree on the valuation methodology. I believe that this is a very strong settlement which will ensure that all the people of Northern Ireland continue to have high quality policing and justice services.

Sid H: Here's the Guardian account of Hague's post-meeting press briefing. And below that the article on DeMint. S William Hague addresses US fears over Tories' EU allies • Hillary Clinton 'told antisemitism allegations are a smear' • Shadow foreign secretary opposes Tony Blair as EU leader • • Ewen MacAskill in Washington and Nicholas Watt quardian.co.uk, Thursday 22 October 2009 00.33 BST William Hague, the shadow foreign secretary, yesterday defended the Conservatives' alliance with far-right parties in Europe during a meeting in Washington with the US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton. Hague sought to reassure Clinton about the Conservatives' partners, some of whose members have taken part in commemoration services for the Waffen-SS in Latvia and questioned the need to apologise for an anti-Jewish pogrom in Poland. The shadow foreign secretary, who said he had an excellent meeting with Clinton, told her the accusations were part of a smear campaign by the Guardian and others. The row has overshadowed Hague's visit to Washington intended as part of the Conservative preparations for taking power. Speaking to the media afterwards, Hague said the behaviour of Michal Kaminski, of Poland's Law and Justice party, was not consistent with anyone who was antisemitic. As for the Latvian party in the Conservatives' European alliance, Hague said: "This is a respectable party in Latvia ... To suggest it is antisemitic or neo-Nazi is ludicrous." Jewish groups in the US and in Europe have expressed anger over the Tory links. The state department was careful not be drawn into the issue, not wanting to be accused of interference in UK politics or issues relating to the European parliament. A spokesman said: "I can say that the two had a good, wide-ranging discussion on a broad range of issues, but can't get into details or substance of that discussion." Hague tried to persuade Clinton that the Conservatives' Euroscepticism would not necessarily mean Britain would play a lesser role in European affairs. The US favours the EU acting in unison over Iran and other issues. Hague said he had raised the allegations of antisemitism with Clinton at the end of a 40-minute discussion on Iran, the Balkans, the Middle East, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and climate change. "No one has raised with me all day the other issue, of the parties in our grouping, but I raised that with secretary of state Clinton because of press reports in your newspaper [the Guardian] and others in case she had seen those," Hague said. "I have assured her they are mainstream parties of the centre-right ... The Conservative party rejects what it regards as a smear campaign against some of its members." He noted that Kaminski made his first speech in the European Parliament highlighting the problem of anti-semitism in Europe and had just completed a successful visit to Israel. "These are not the habits of someone who is anti-semitic," Hague said. As for the Latvians, of the six governing parties, "five of them have members involved in the type of commemoration that have been criticised." Some were members of the Conservatives' previous alliance, the European People's party. On Conservative Euroscepticism, Hague said: "I always put the case to all American leaders that it is important to distinguish between Europe's institutions and its capacity to act ... I have explained to her and others that she will be find a Conservative government very active and activist from the very beginning in European affairs. " Later he said it would be a mistake for Tony Blair to become EU president. He has previously said in private that Blair would be appointed "over my dead body".

The clique of conservatives that has operated since the Iran-Contra scandal and held key policy offices in the George W. Bush administration is waging war against Obama in part through Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina. A freshman on the Foreign Relations Committee with no previously known expertise on Latin America, DeMint is best known for boasting that health care would be the "Waterloo" that will "break" Obama. He recently provoked a nasty spat within the committee by requesting funding to travel to Honduras to "assess" the crisis. The Obama administration favors reinstalling the democratically elected president, Manuel Zelaya, a leftist who was expelled by the military in June. Committee Chairman John Kerry criticized DeMint for his "intransigence" in putting a hold on two Obama nominations for State Department jobs in Latin America, and initially denied money for DeMint's trip. But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell somehow found funding through the Defense Department. "DeMint has been using this issue cynically to hold hostage the entire U.S. policy on Latin America in order to defend a coup," says Adam Isacson, a Latin American specialist at Washington's Center for International Policy. "Little Honduras has brought all of the ghosts of the Cold War out of the closet, and paralyzed policy by provoking the [DeMint] holds," Julia Sweig, the director for Latin American Studies of the Council on Foreign Relations, told me. Some Hill staffers are even blunter: "These losers from the Bush administration who drove Latin American policy off a frickin' cliff are trying to rescue their legacy," one aide told The Daily Beast. A number of Democrats and foreign-policy experts contend the mounting right-wing attack on Latin American policy has filled a void left by an Obama administration that was too slow to cut aid or take a firmer stance against the president installed by the Honduran military, Roberto Micheletti. Driven partly by a desire to appease opposition in Congress and distaste for left-wing populists the Obama administration "slow-walked" its response to the coup this summer, Sweig says. More recently, though, the administration has toughened its approach by cutting off some vital aid worth at least $35 million and blocking Honduran officials' visas. The goal: to pressure the Micheletti regime to enter into serious negotiations with the Organization of American States to restore the democratic government and Zelaya. Informed observers say that indications of Micheletti's flexibility alarmed some right-wingers in Washington and helped trigger DeMint's visit to buck up the regime's resistance. An informal network of right-leaning American advocacy groups and ideologues was entangled in anti-Zelaya legal and PR battles in Honduras before the coup. Among them: Otto Reich, a Cuban-American who headed the State Department's now-defunct Office of Public Diplomacy during the Iran-Contra scandal, and was subsequently investigated by a special joint congressional panel—and the U.S. Comptroller General, which found he engaged in "prohibited covert activities" by using public funds to attack Reagan's critics. Reich, who was later appointed by President George W. Bush to be assistant secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs and is now a private consultant, launched a media campaign against Zelaya before the coup alleging corruption. "Your Loony Left sources say I was an architect of Iran-Contra like they say I'm an architect of the Zelaya coup," he told me by phone from Panama. He disputes claims of illegal Iran-Contra activites as "crap," asserting they were only based on a fired House staffer's unpublished memo. But Greg Grandin, a Latin American history professor at NYU, has a darker view of Reich's role: "It's kind of the origins of Swift Boating," he says. "It's all related to what he's doing now." Conservative supporters of the current Honduran government argue on arcane legal grounds against the worldwide condemnation of the coup. "It's not the first time all, the countries in the world have been wrong," Reich told me. He has criticized what he sees as erroneous reporting on Latin American controversies, taking The New York Times to task for an article last Thursday that he says implied he was being paid to lobby on UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764511 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05764511 Date: 07/31/2015 behalf of the Micheletti regime. "I guess my facts interfered with [the] story," he says. "Can you believe some of my sources say The New York Times is malicious and deserves the slow death it is experiencing?" A DeMint spokesman says the senator hasn't even met with Reich to talk about Honduras, although a Reich aide says they've spoken to DeMint's staff. Adding to the mystery of the coup, left-wingers in Latin America and the U.S. have floated what conservatives say are unproven conspiracy theories that Reich somehow played a role in destabilizing Zelaya's regime. He has firmly denied them to The Daily Beast: "I cannot possibly answer all the Loony Left conspiracy charges against me. But I will try: I had nothing to do with the removal of Zelaya." But the rumors may add to his aura of power as founder of Otto Reich Associates. He's drawn more attention to the new Honduras allegations by penning a column for the Miami Herald boldly headlined, "I Did Not Orchestrate Coup in Honduras." Perhaps the primary influence on DeMint's thinking has been the right-wing Honduran-American lawyer Miguel Estrada, whose 2001 nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit was rejected by the Senate. In addition to Reich, other former Bush administration officials who have played key roles in influencing DeMint and in spreading arguments for the Honduran regime include Roger Noriega, a former aide to the late Sen. Jesse Helms (the far-right chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee) who also served as an assistant secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs from 2003 to 2005. On July 2, Noriega appeared on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer to argue the legitimacy of the new Honduran regime. He was identified as a former ambassador to the Organization of American States and a visiting fellow of the American Enterprise Institute— not as a paid agent for pro-regime forces. Noriega officially registered his firm, Visions America, as representing a Honduran business group only in midJuly. Yet, the Times reported, he worked with the Association of Honduran Manufacturers to set up meetings between supporters of the regime and eight U.S. senators—including DeMint—in early July. That visit to Washington by Honduran business and political figures from July 2 to July 10, Foreign Policy reported, occurred at the same time as a House committee hearing during which Reich—along with a former Honduran supreme court justice and Lanny Davis, a former Clinton administration official and now a lobbyist—testified in favor of the current regime. Noriega's office declined to return phone calls about his work. The lobbyist-organized visit also coincided with Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Obama's picks for top Latin American posts: Thomas Shannon, current assistant secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs, has been nominated to be Ambasssador to Brazil; and Arturo Valenzuela, director of Georgetown University's Center for Latin American Studies and senior director for Inter-American Affairs at the National Security Council during President Clinton's second term, has been tapped to be assistant secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs. Both Valenzuela and Shannon were approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in late July. Julia Sweig of the Council on Foreign Relations observes, "They're not polarizing figures." But for now they're hostages in DeMint's war. At the July 8 nomination hearings, Valenzuela angered DeMint by defending the administration's decision to condemn the overthrow as a coup: "In my studies of military coups in Latin America, this was a classic military coup," Valenzuela said. DeMint's critics contend that he has continually refused compromise offers from both State Department officials and fellow senators to lift his holds, including the promise of an extensive floor debate on Honduras before a floor vote on the nominees. DeMint's spokesperson, Wesley Denton, says he's acting in good faith out of genuine concern about an important crisis. "If these nominees are such a top priority for Democrats, then why hasn't Senator Reid brought them to the floor?" he asks. "There is nothing Senator DeMint can do to stop a full debate and roll-call vote on them." Technically that's true, but it would be a rare violation of a Senate tradition to do so. DeMint has taken up the issue of Honduras, Denton claims, because, "the State Department's actions were directly relevant to two nominees seeking the committee's approval." Yet before DeMint took up the crusade on Honduras—in what critics say is yet another vehicle to "break" Obama—one congressional observer jokes, "He couldn't find Honduras on a map."

Sid H: Of interest, Hague latest briefing, hostile to Tony. Tories desperately do not want Blair there, want to run their own European policy, mostly anti-EU, and indeed break with past and continuity on Europe. Tory Party split, with anti-EU faction dominant, its base virulent, and Cameron straddling as best he can. Hague leans anti-Europe. S London Times October 22, 2009 `Appointing Blair as EU president will have consequences', warns Hague William Hague's strident attack on his fellow Briton reportedly left some of the EU ambassadors baffled Francis Elliott, David Charter and Tom Baldwin William Hague has been conducting a behind-the-scenes campaign to convince European ambassadors that Tony Blair would be a bad choice for European Union president, The Times has learnt. The Shadow Foreign Secretary used a lunch organised by the Swedish presidency in London last week to lobby the most senior diplomats of the 26 other EU nations against the appointment. EU leaders had hoped to choose the new president at next week's summit, but the Czech Republic's last-minute objections to the Lisbon treaty have scuppered that. President Sarkozy of France wants a quick decision, however, and is understood to be pushing for a special one-day summit in Brussels next month to fill the new post. In making the Conservatives' case against Mr Blair, Mr Hague said that while in Downing Street the former Prime Minister had consistently placed a higher priority on US interests than on those of Europe. Mr Hague also reminded the diplomats of Mr Blair's actions in the run-up to the Iraq war, according to one of those attending the lunch last Thursday. A claim that Mr Hague told the ambassadors that the Tories would regard Mr Blair's appointment as a "declaration of war" by the EU was denied, however. A spokesman for Mr Hague said that the phrase was "a bit strong". Nevertheless, it was not disputed that Mr Hague made clear that the move would have consequences for relations between Britain and Brussels. Diplomats said that there was a "clear mark of hostility". "Mr Hague wanted to leave the ambassadors in no doubt that the Conservative Party is opposed to the appointment of Tony Blair as president of the European Council and [that] it would only underline the lack of accountability and legitimacy involved in the creation of the position in the first place," Mr Hague's spokesman said. Mr Hague's strident attack on his fellow Briton reportedly left some of the ambassadors baffled. Mr Hague is currently in Washington for talks with members of the Obama Administration, including Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State, with whom he raised the issue of the Conservatives' membership of a right-wing alliance of European parties with allegedly anti-Semitic members. He accused critics of running a smear campaign against some of the group, led by Michal Kaminsky, head of Poland's Law and Justice Party.

In my Tuesday lunch with Gabriel I mentioned in very clear terms our concern about any sort of turmoil in government reflecting very badly on the international community's efforts to tout Haiti as stable and open for investment. He said he understood. He said, "I don't see Michelle (Pierre-Louis) going anywhere soon." He conceded that while Preval did have a majority in Parliament, he could not control all parliamentarians on all issues. We'll try and get in to see someone from the Senate in the coming days.

Originally they planned to invite Foreign Ministers, but now they are inviting the heads of assistance agencies. Preval was originally to attend, but he has decided to send his Foreign Minister and the Minister of Planning. Romero indicated that the GOM has not received the number and caliber of confirmations of attendance that they had hoped for. I asked Romero what outcome the GOM would like to see from the meeting, and he said that they want to encourage donors to coordinate more with the GOH and among themselves. The GOM hosted an "experts" meeting on Haiti two weeks ago where a number of individuals long involved in Haiti presented position papers on the political, economic and assistance challenges in Haiti. He said that a common theme of the papers was the need for greater donor coordination. He will send me a set of the position papers. Mexico is not a donor to Haiti. David E.

Sid hrc memo blair berlin 102309.docx CONFIDENTIAL October 23, 2009 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Tony Blair, EU presidency, Tory Party, & Berlin trip One of your agenda items behind the scenes on your Berlin trip can be to discuss the future of the EU, the European presidency and the prospects of Tony Blair. If Blair does not become EU president the position will likely be filled by a third rank nonentity in the Brussels bureaucratic mode incapable of realizing the possibilities in the creation of the office, continuing the feebleness of Europe as a political idea and reality. Of course, it is in the US interest to have a strong Europe—and the naming of the first European president might be the most important opportunity for the US to strengthen Europe, to give it actual sinew, for a long time and a long time to come. The Conservative Party is split over Europe and Blair. Hague represents the Tory right, which is the center of the party. He is supported prominently by Boris Johnson, mayor of London, also known as the Tory "clown prince." The responsible wing, such as Chris Patten, the former European Commissioner, and Douglas Hurd, former Foreign Secretary, are pro-European and not necessarily hostile to having Blair there as a counter-weight to the anti-Europeans of their own government, helping to tilt things more their way. All present themselves as "pro-American," sine qua non of Conservative rhetoric, though there is a nasty anti-American undercurrent on the Tory right. Hague tried to paper this over in his conference with you and was disingenuous about the nature of the far right parties the Tories are aligned with in Europe. Nobody in the UK or Europe is fooled. Cameron is trying to balance the wings of the Conservative Party. On domestic policy, he is more radical than his Etonian image suggests (profound connotations of the Conservative paternalistic, aristocratic one-nation tradition), more influenced by the Thatcher legacy, more like George W.

If Blair does not become EU president the position will likely be filled by .a third rank nonentity in the Brussels bureaucratic mode incapable of realizing the possibilities in the creation of the office, continuing the feebleness of Europe as a political idea and reality. Of course, it is in the US interest to have a strong Europe—and the naming of the first European president might be the most important opportunity for the US to strengthen Europe, to give it actual sinew, for a long time and a long time to come. The Conservative Party is split over Europe and Blair. Hague represents the Tory right, which is the center of the party. He is supported prominently by Boris Johnson, mayor of London, also known as the Tory "clown prince." The responsible wing, such as Chris Patten, the former European Commissioner, and Douglas Hurd, former Foreign Secretary, are pro-European and not necessarily hostile to having Blair there as a counter-weight to the anti-Europeans of their own government, helping to tilt things more their way. All present themselves as "proAmerican," sine qua non of Conservative rhetoric, though there is a nasty anti-American undercurrent on the Tory right. Hague tried to paper this over in his conference with you and was disingenuous about the nature of the far right parties the Tories are aligned with in Europe. Nobody in the UK or Europe is fooled. Cameron is trying to balance the wings of the Conservative Party. On domestic policy, he is more radical than his Etonian image suggests (profound connotations of the Conservative paternalistic, aristocratic one-nation tradition), more influenced by the Thatcher legacy, more like George W. Bush influenced by Reagan and Reaganism than by his father and vestigial moderate Republicanism. On foreign policy, Cameron is unsure, inexperienced, oblique, and largely uncommitted. So far his foreign policy is little more than projection of his domestic politics, especially his need to keep his party behind him going into the election.

His future problem is that he does not want to be the leader who takes Britain out of Europe but is putting himself in a position where he may not be able to prevent his party doing so. Enter the Blair factor. The Europeans do not want a Britain sliding out of Europe or acting as an uncertain partner. Blair is probably the best possible solution. But the anti-European forces within Europe and within the Tory Party are conspiring against Blair now to thwart that possibility. I spoke with Jonathan Powell this week and he tells me the following: "The argument is slipping away from us a bit at the moment so anything Hillary can do would be gratefully appreciated in speaking to other European leaders or what she says in public about the need for Europe to have a major figure at its head so that other powers can relate to it." 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766459 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766460 Date: 07/31/2015 [RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Friday, October 23, 2009 2:16 PM FW: Cannon to Marrakech FYI From: Steinberg, James B Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 1:50 PM To: Jacobson, David Cc: Breese, Terry A Subject: RE: Cannon to Marrakech From: Jacobson, David Sent: Friday, October 23, 2009 11:28 AM To: Steinberg, James B Cc: Breese, Terry A Subject: Cannon to Marrakech Jim: Foreign Minister Cannon's office has agreed that he will go to Marrakech for the Nov. 2-3 meeting.

State Dept IG: Exchange programs need closer watch Oct 23 04:27 PM US/Eastern By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press Writer SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - The nation's foreign exchange student programs need better federal oversight, the State Department's internal watchdog concludes in a new report following a scandal in which students were placed in shoddy homes in Pennsylvania. Acting Inspector General Harold Geisel said in the report, released this week, the department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has largely abdicated its responsibility to ensure the well-being of thousands of exchange students who come to the United States each year. Instead, the sponsoring organizations themselves have been left to monitor their own programs and self-report problems to federal regulators, the report said. "There are insufficient dedicated resources at ECA to conduct effective oversight of youth exchange programs," the report said.

An inspector general's report calls for more oversight of student exchange programs. The report calls for stronger monitoring of youth placement groups that receive federal grants to sponsor exchange students. It finds that the department has been "relying instead on the coordinator to self-monitor." Participants in the exchange programs are typically 15 to 18 and are among "the most vulnerable," according to the report. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766463 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766463 Date: 07/31/2015 In 2008, the State Department gave 17 such groups $39.4 million in taxpayer funds to manage programs involving exchange students. One of those groups, Aspect Foundation, received $1.08 million of those funds. However, Aspect came under fire this year after students from Europe, Africa and South America — whom the California-based foundation had placed in Scranton, Pennsylvania -- came forward with allegations of mistreatment and abandonment. CNN aired a detailed report on the case in July, after which the State Department said it would set up a tollfree telephone number that foreign exchange students could use to report problems and tighten its oversight of government-funded exchange student programs. The inspector general's report notes that previous audits of the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), which also found deficiencies in program oversight, found the department slow to make changes. "The incidents in Northeastern Pennsylvania were allowed to happen, in part, because of a lack of clear regulations that allowed sponsor organizations to interpret the rules in a manner that ultimately endangered these students," said Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pennsylvania, on Thursday. In May, Casey pushed for an investigation into the Department of State's oversight of youth exchange programs following reports out of Scranton. One student was placed in a Scranton home with a person who had been convicted of a drug-related felony, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, District Attorney Andrew Jarbola has told CNN. Some students were so malnourished that one was treated in a hospital for dehydration; another was put up in a home that was later condemned by the city, he said. The families that housed the students say the allegations are untrue. The Aspect Foundation first denied any problems existed, then said it had corrected them and fired those responsible. The State Department sanctioned Aspect by reducing the number of students it can bring over for the 20102011 school year, a penalty that amounted to a loss of revenue of about $540,000, according to the department. "We at the Department of State recognize [because we] are responsible for this program we have to make sure we are aggressively overseeing this program and make sure children are well-suited," said State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley at the time. The inspector general's report released Thursday does not specifically mention Aspect. It does review four State Department programs, including Youth Exchange Study (YES) and the Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX), both of which have given grants to the foundation. The report calls on the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, which oversees the grant programs, to establish requirements for criminal history checks of host families and put more resources into site visits at placement groups. "The Department of State has taken action to rectify its failure in the oversight and monitoring of exchange programs," Casey said. "However, the real measure of progress will be what specific steps are taken to prevent this problem from happening again."

He said he would work with members of Parliament to revise the legislation to make it a crime for adults to solicit or recruit minors into any homo- or heterosexual activities.

They cut what he turned in in half. But for this readership, that length is probably perfect. It supposedly gets seen by 70 million people. 69 million probably never open it up and just see it in their Sunday paper, so the cover is the ballgame. Story is basically an excuse for the cover. And the cover is a homerun. In the end, I firmly believe it will be the totality all these in-depth projects like Vogue, National Geographic, Nightline, Time - which I know are annoying - that are going to create a collage documenting your success, especially in terms of style and work ethic, which I believe is what people are most interested when it comes to their perception and approval of you.

Museveni was unaware of the legislation but thought it was excessive and out of order. He said he would work with members of Parliament to revise the legislation to make it a crime for adults to solicit or recruit minors into any homo- or heterosexual activities. Activities between consenting adults would be stripped from the legislation. I think we rolled the worst and most concerning part of this back.

It was launched three years ago and is owned by the Dawn Group Newspaper, the country's oldest media organization founded by Jinnah (established before the creation of Pakistan in 1943). Dawn TV's audience is nationwide but because it is English-only, the audience is mostly well educated, NGO's, diplomatic and government circles. To expand reach, additional Pakistani channels will run the interview with Urdu sub-titles. Geo TV is Pakistan's largest 24-hour satellite news channel in Pakistan. The television network was founded in May 2002, and is part of the Independent Media Group. The Independent Media Group also owns Pakistan's second largest English daily newspaper (The News) and the largest Urdu language newspaper (Daily Jang). In 2007, the Pakistani government halted the transmission of Geo News following the network's coverage of the demonstrations against President Musharraf s suspension of the Chief Justice Chaudhry. Since assuming office, President Zardari has also temporarily banned Geo TV and other private broadcasters. The station was suspended in March 2009 following its coverage of protests for the restoration of the Supreme Court Justices dismissed by former President Musharraf. Geo TV's transmission was also suspended by the government during the siege of Pakistan's military headquarters by suspected Pakistani Taliban militants on October 10, 2009.

SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you. QUESTION: So it's about your visit to India. SECRETARY CLINTON: Mm-hmm. QUESTION: Are you going with an initiative for restarting the India-Pakistan talks? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I'm going with the hope that has been ignited in the last weeks that India and Pakistan will pursue a dialogue again, and it was a very promising meeting between Prime Minister Gillani and Prime Minister Singh, the follow-on meeting between Prime Minister Singh and President Zardari, which suggests that there is an interest and a seriousness on the part of both governments in trying to work toward resolution of some of the longstanding differences. I have always believed, and you may have heard me say in many meetings of my friends in the Pakistani and American community, that Pakistan's future is unlimited. The potential for economic growth and for influence in the region is, in my view, as great as any country's. But there has to be a commitment to trying to focus on the internal developments of Pakistan, and that requires dealing with and trying to resolve some of the outstanding concerns. QUESTION: With India? SECRETARY CLINTON: Yes, with India. QUESTION: And according to the media report, you're going to conclude two agreements during this visit: for nuclear plants and for selling 126 fighter jets to India. Do Pakistanis have reasons to fear the outcome of your visit? SECRETARY CLINTON: Not at all. And we don't yet have any agreements resolved between us, but my goal in going to India is to work with the Indian Government on a range of issues agriculture, health, education, strategic cooperation, climate change, clean energy, just a very vast array of concern. And I think that all of these issues are ones that are important not only to Indians, but, I would argue, also to Pakistanis. Trade between India and Pakistan, if were ever able to come to that point, would benefit both countries. Cooperation across borders on matters having to do with agriculture, education, so many other issues would be mutually beneficial. So the point of our trip is to certainly broaden and deepen our relationship with India. And I will be coming to Pakistan in the fall and be looking to do the exact same thing with Pakistan. QUESTION: But whenever somebody says that they would want India to play a leading role in the region, and you said that this week, the Pakistanis fear that perhaps it would translate to a subservient role for Pakistan and will lead to bullying by Afghanistan. How would you allay these fears? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, that is certainly not at all what is intended. I think that what we see now in the region is a very courageous, sustained effort by Pakistan against the internal miscreants, those who would destabilize the Pakistani Government and democracy, who kill innocent people, who are - they are not at all part of Pakistan's future. And so what Pakistan is doing is, in my view, very important, as Pakistan tries to stabilize your democracy so that you can build on development. Actual economic development was going well. Pre-Trip Media Brief Page 15 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766868 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766868 Date: 07/31/2015 There were a lot of positive steps. And some of the government's policies are working out well. There seems to be a growing acceptance of how Pakistan is doing with the global economic recession. But the constant threat from the internal terrorists is one that has to be dealt with in order for Pakistan to grow and flourish. So I see what is happening in Pakistan as a necessary set.of steps to get Pakistan to the point where the future is unlimited. With India, I think India has had steady growth. They've had a very clear set of goals that they've been able to pursue because they are a largely stable and internally secure country now. That's what I want to see for Pakistan. And then I think you can be in a friendly competition for jobs and for prosperity and for growth and for education statistics. I often say that when Pakistani Americans come to the United States, they are among the most successful people in our country, and they are among our professionals and our business leaders and our academics and in every other walk of life. I would hope to see a day when Pakistanis would have the same opportunities in their own country, and that's what I would like to work toward with you. QUESTION: You actually, help found an organization called the Pakistan Foundation. SECRETARY CLINTON: Yes. QUESTION: What are your expectations from the Pakistan Foundation? SECRETARY CLINTON: It's interesting because - as you know, because we have some mutual friends, there are so many Pakistani Americans who are very successful financially. They still have family in Pakistan. They travel often back to Pakistan. They have a very deep connection to their homeland. And I thought it would be important to try to convince Pakistani Americans to be putting forward financial resources to work back in Pakistan. And I know; I have friends who have done that. They've built schools, they've built health clinics, but to do it in an organized way. So we created the idea and then turned it over to the Pakistani Americans and the Pakistan Government, which was very interested. And so people are raising money and identifying projects. We also reached out to Pakistani American doctors and asked if they'd be willing to serve and care for the internally displaced people, because of the fighting against the Taliban and al-Qaeda and all of their allies. And so we have Pakistani American doctors taking vacation, going to Swat or Bunair or other places to provide medical care. So I think that there is an opportunity for Pakistani Americans to feel more committed and connected to the future that you are building in Pakistan. QUESTION: Now, the anti-Americanism in Pakistan. We know that both governments are committed to fighting terrorism, and there is a realization in Pakistan too - that this is a war that they need to win. But this somehow does not convey to the people there. They don't trust the US and still have a lot anti-American feelings. So how do you overcome this problem? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I hope that more and more people in Pakistan understand that President Obama and I have no other interest than providing assistance to the Pakistani people, and, increasingly, Americans - not just the Pakistani Americans, but other Americans want to help the people of Pakistan. We are not in any way making decisions, interfering or dictating. That is not our intent at all. But we want to be helpful because we see this courageous fight that you are waging. We know how hard it is because we are fighting the same enemy. We have been attacked. We know what that means. We also see how the vast majority of Pakistanis just want a better life for themselves and their children. So if we can be helpful in helping to provide schools or textbooks or health programs and physicians, nurses, things that will actually help improve the daily lives of the people of Pakistan, that's what we are interested in doing. Pre-Trip Media Brief Page 16 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766868 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766868 Date: 07/31/2015 QUESTION: You once said that America too - made mistakes in Pakistan. What were those mistakes and how would you avoid them? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I think that if you go back and look at the history between the United States and Pakistan, we were not always as sensitive or understanding of the needs of the Pakistani people. We were not always constant in our support and our friendship for Pakistan. We encouraged Pakistan to create the forces that fought against the Soviet Union occupation in Afghanistan and then left you to deal with the aftermath. So it's been, I would argue, a relationship that hasn't been as constant and as effective as we would want it to be. Now, we will continue to make mistakes. I mean, we are just human beings; we know that. But we want to be as honest in admitting them as possible, learning from them, and then trying to move forward. We weren't as supportive of Pakistan's democracy as we could have and should have been in the past. But our goal now is to be there as a constant friend and a country that Pakistan, not just the government, but the people can rely on to build up more trust and understanding between us, and to be of assistance when asked by Pakistan. QUESTION: And do you have complaints against Pakistan too - particularly when you see that the Pakistani people, the Pakistani administration, and the Pakistani media fail to understand your point of view, they fail to appreciate your sentiments? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I think it requires time. We have started a much deeper engagement with Pakistan on all levels. We've even established a trilateral relationship between the United States, Pakistan, and Afghanistan to try to work through some of the common problems we face. I hope that there is a growing awareness that President Obama and I care deeply about the future of Pakistan, and particularly want to reverse some of the misconceptions and perceptions that existed in the past. So I hope that we're going to be given a fair hearing. I hope that people will look at us and say there is something different here, it's not the same old, same old attitude. I know that President Obama, when he spoke with you, talked about how much he loved Pakistani food. I -QUESTION: And do you? SECRETARY CLINTON: I echo that. I am also a fan. But it's more than that. It's a sense that the people of Pakistan are working hard for a better future. And we want to be of help. And we have no - we have no claims, we have no interest other than assisting you in achieving the kind of sovereignty and self-determination and very solid democracy, and then results for people. I mean, democracy in and of itself is only the means to an end of a better life, so that every child has a chance to live up to his or her God-given potential to get an education, to get the healthcare he or she needs, to have their parents have jobs with rising wages and dignity. I mean, that's what all people are looking for, and the people of Pakistan deserve that. QUESTION: Drone attacks. I think it was Senator John Kerry, who stated they are making more enemies than they are killing. Do you agree with this comment? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I don't comment on any matter that is of that nature. But I think that what we see is what's happening on the ground with the Pakistani army and the sacrifices that they're making. And I think that it's important that we pursue joint efforts against those who would murder innocent Pakistanis, innocent Americans, innocent Indians, people who were just going about their daily lives and have no reason to be targeted the way that they are. Pre-Trip Media Brief Page 17 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766868 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05766868 Date: 07/31/2015 So our goal is to see you and help you in whatever way is appropriate to defeat the enemy who wants to totally, radically change Pakistan. QUESTION: Yesterday, you said in your speech that there was some good Taliban in Afghanistan, I mean, you didn't use the word, good Taliban, but indicated that. Are there good Taliban in Pakistan and can they be engaged too? SECRETARY CLINTON: I think that would be up to the Pakistani Government to determine, but it does seem to us that people get caught up in these organizations, sometimes because they're paid, sometimes because they're intimidated, sometimes because they think there is - that they mean something other than what they do. And for those who are willing to put down arms against the Pakistani Government, who are willing to renounce violence and try to work to achieve a better life for themselves in connection with the democracy that Pakistan is, I certainly think that it would be appropriate for Pakistan to consider that. But I am reminded that Pakistan did try that. Pakistan tried to, in a very open way, reach an agreement with the Taliban and their related organization. And I'm told they didn't keep it. I mean, they didn't abide by it. They resumed their aggressive behavior, their violence, their terrorism. So I think that it's up to the Pakistani Government, of course, to decide what's appropriate for Pakistan. QUESTION: President Obama (inaudible), in an interview, he talked about (inaudible) -SECRETARY CLINTON: That's okay. QUESTION: Talked about Taliban issue - sorry, just -SECRETARY CLINTON: Yeah, no problem. QUESTION: There are some in Pakistan who say that Indians are using Balochistan to interfere in BaloChistan. Will you discuss this with the India? In his inaugural speech, President Obama said that Kashmir is one issue that needs to be resolved. And now, your administration does not seem to talk about it. It seems that they no longer see Kashmir as an issue that needs to be resolved. SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I'm going to raise everything that we believe is of significance with the Indian Government. I believe that it is in India's interest for Pakistan to be stable, democratic, free of terrorism. I think that the disputes between India and Pakistan, which are historical and long-standing, should be looked at with fresh eyes, and there should be an effort to build some mutual trust. And from what I hear, it was a very good meeting between Prime Minister Singh and Prime Minister Gillani. The United States stands ready to support the steps that India and Pakistan may take together, but we know that the only way these matters can be finally resolved is between the two countries, but it's not just the government, but the people. And so we will encourage that, but we know that it has to be left to Pakistan and India for there to be any resolution. QUESTION: So Kashmir is still seen as a dispute that needs to be resolved? SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, it certainly should be on the agenda of discussion between India and Pakistan. QUESTION: Thank you very much. SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you. It was good to talk to you. Thank you.

BY LESLEY CLARK AND JACQUELINE CHARLES LCLARK@MIAMIHERALD.COM WASHINGTON -- Haitian-American and immigrant activists who greeted President Barack Obama's election with high hopes are growing frustrated with the administration's failure to deliver one of their top goals. Obama said in July he was "very sympathetic" to the community's request to allow Haitian immigrants now illegally in the country to stay temporarily, but no decision has been announced. Some activists say their patience is wearing thin. "I feel they are stringing us along, and we are in an awkward position," said Randolph McGrorty, head of Catholic Charities Legal Services, who brought the subject to a head with a stinging e-mail sent to House, Senate and administration staffers last week. "Do we allow them to string us along because they are our allies or do we start calling them on the carpet for it?" The unrest comes as Obama plans a trip to Miami on Monday to raise money for House and Senate Democrats. Presidential candidate Obama did not promise to grant undocumented Haitian immigrants temporary legal status in the United States -- a designation known as Temporary Protected Status, or TPS -- but activists said they believed the first African-American president would give the issue special consideration. Instead, former President Bill Clinton -- a United Nations special envoy to the country -- and the United Nations have taken the lead in rebuilding a storm-battered Haiti after last year's four back-to-back storms that killed hundreds and left nearly $1 billion in damages. CHALLENGE The issue of TPS poses a challenge for Rep. Kendrick Meek, a Miami Democrat who is depending on a robust tumout in the politically active Haitian-American community to boost his Senate bid. But critics say South Florida's congressional Democrats, including Meek, have not been as vocal about pushing the Obama administration on Haiti as they were during the Bush administration. Meek, who represents the largest group of Haitian-American voters in the United States, said Friday he's had meetings with the administration and is optimistic that it is taking a serious look at the policy.

"The ultimate goal is to have Haiti in a position where Haitians can stay in Haiti and not take to the sea." Still, Broward Democrat Rep. Alcee Hastings chastised the administration last week, looking to prod it by attaching an amendment to a Coast Guard spending bill that would require the agency to review the effect of changing immigration policy toward Haiti. Critics have suggested TPS could lead Haitians to rush to the U.S. shore. "Temporary Protected Status or some other comparable relief for our Haitian neighbors is long overdue and this administration has been stalling for far too long," Hastings said in support of his amendment. He said the review would "hopefully help us show that our government has rationally and realistically examined all possible scenarios and we are well-equipped to contend with any possible effects." U.S. POLICY When Obama brought up the issue in July, he said the administration is reviewing U.S. policy on deporting undocumented Haitians, suggesting that the issue would be "part of a broader conversation about immigration." But immigration groups say the pace on overhauling the nation's immigration system is too slow and fear no progress next year during a volatile election. The White House this week referred questions on TPS to the Department of Homeland Security, which said it had made no changes in policy, adding that, "no one should attempt to come to the U.S. in the hopes of being granted TPS. Advocates for Haitian Americans, including Cheryl Little, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, said they've written a number of letters and e-mails to the administration seeking a response to their request for TPS -- and in recent months have offered less-sweeping alternatives to TPS to help the estimated 35,000 undocumented Haitians currently living in legal limbo. "Washington needs to know we are not going to fade into the woodwork," Little said. "We are going to continue to make the case for TPS and be critical of this administration when they don't do the right thing." ADVOCATE Earlier this month, Little appealed to former President Clinton who, during two appearances in Miami recently, spoke of his support for TPS. He said if the decision was up to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, "it would have been done. Hillary strongly supports this." A spokesman for the State Department declined to comment on Clinton's remarks, saying they were the former president's "personal comments" and it would be "inappropriate for us to make any official declarations on the issue" since the decisions are being made by Homeland Security. Advocates acknowledge the administration has quietly made some changes. It has temporarily suspended the deportation of noncriminal, undocumented Haitians. Undocumented Haitians with no criminal records who are detained by immigration authorities are being released from detention centers as long as they agree to a final order of removal. Once released, they can apply for work permits but must periodically check in with immigration authorities until they are eventually deported.

An impoverished Haiti is dependent on remittances from abroad. "That is not nearly enough," Little said. "That is not even a half-hearted attempt at doing the right thing here." The Haitian-American Grassroots Coalition met Wednesday to discuss the issue and plans to protest at Obama's fundraiser in Miami on Monday. Haitian activists protested outside the White House last month. "As far as we are concerned, regarding Haiti, the Obama administration is maintaining the same status quo as the Bush immigration policy," said Jean-Robert Lafortune, the coalition's president.

BY JACQUELINE CHARLES JCHARLES@MIAMIHERALD.COM PORT-AU-PRINCE -- With Haiti poised to enjoy the economic benefits of long-elusive stability, foreign diplomats are scrambling behind the scenes to keep it all from unraveling as several lawmakers derhand the ouster of the country's prime minister. A small but powerful group of senators is seeking the removal of Prime Minister Miche`le Pierre-Louis -and possibly several of her ministers -- on charges that she has moved too slowly to solve Haiti's problems. "The situation is critical," said Sen. Jean Hector Anacasis, who is among the six senators behind a recent summons for Pierre-Louis to appear before Haiti's Senate on Thursday. Under Haiti's constitution, the Senate can fire a sitting government. "We are the ones on the ground who hear the people's cry, who hear them criticizing us, the government, saying nothing has been done. We have to replace the woman," Anacasis said. "If they are accusing us of inviting a crisis, then we are inviting a crisis to avert another crisis." The internal political maneuvering comes just three weeks after former U.S. President and U.N. Special Envoy to Haiti Bill Clinton led a historic trade mission here, triggering optimism that this land of seemingly missed opportunities may finally be turning around. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767400 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767400 Date: 07/31/2015 Before a gathering of 600 investors -- 200 of them foreign -- Clinton championed Haiti's stability, promising that the risks were the lowest they have ever been in a crisis-prone Haiti. Now, both Haitian and foreign observers fear that political differences could trigger a crisis and send potential investors packing. "They cannot afford to do this. It is not good for investments," said one diplomat who asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of what is viewed as a domestic matter. "It is all so frustrating." On Monday, diplomats spent the day shuffling between meetings with President Rene Preval, and discussions with Pierre-Louis. The matter even warranted a weekend phone call to Preval from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton spoke of her concerns and reiterated U.S. support for Pierre-Louis, according to several sources privy to the conversation. Preval, in turn, told Clinton that he was not behind the move to oust Pierre-Louis and has no control over the lawmakers. Critics disagree, pointing out that following the recent Senate elections, marred by fraud allegations and low turnout, Preval now controls two-thirds of the chamber, and that most of the six senators leading the charge are from his Lespwa (HOPE) political coalition, POLITICALLY RISKY Still, some are asking whether he's willing to spend the political capital to prevent the ouster of Pierre-Louis, a one-time friend and confidante who accepted her appointment as a storm-battered Haiti was gripped by political gridlock after the Senate fired then-Prime Minister Jacques-Edouard Alexis following food riots then failed to ratify two of Preval's choices. Neither Preval nor Pierre-Louis responded to interview requests from The Miami Herald. In a taped message to the nation Monday night, Pierre-Louis defended her government's record and explained her reasons for taking the job. Since her appointment a year ago, Pierre-Louis has appeared often before parliament but this is the first time she has been summoned, a move that usually signals a no-confidence vote. Pierre-Louis has mustered considerable support abroad from her many trips, including stops in South Florida. But she has failed to win over supporters in parliament. Her dismissal, in effect, would topple her government. Initially, senators were seeking to dismiss the ministers of finance and justice, both of whom are close to Pierre-Louis. But after three days of meetings at a hotel near the palace, senators decided to issue the summons to Pierre-Louis, Anacasis told The Miami Herald. A majority of the 29 senators have indicated they would vote to fire Pierre-Louis, Anacasis said.

In her defense, a handful of lawmakers and supporters have pleaded with the group of six to cancel Thursday's hearing. 'SELF-INTEREST "Since becoming prime minister, she, has struggled with limited human and financial resources and with a structure of government that has been emasculated over decades of mismanagement and selfish politics," said Robert Maguire, a Haiti expert at Washington, D.C.-based Trinity University. "She has had to confront the narrow politics of self-interest imposed upon her ability to govern. And yet, she has persevered, building a solid track record of relief and recovery in the aftermath of Haiti's devastating storms of late 2008 and thereby contributing immensely to that spirit of Haiti's hope for a brighter future." It's unclear what has triggered the move, though some believe it revolves around Haiti's presidential elections. While still a year away, political jockeying already has begun, with some suggesting politicians may be seeking to position themselves and candidates for the scheduled November 2010 elections. Meanwhile on Monday, as politicians weighed whether Pierre-Louis would fight or resign, some supporters tried to persuade her to visit Preval to see if the two could reach a compromise. She has said she will fight, but has no plans to go before parliament and be humiliated. That has some wondering whether she would resign before Thursday. Patrick Delatour, Haiti's tourism and acting commerce minister, said lawmakers should weigh the consequences of their actions carefully. "They should understand solving problems by any government is a process, a slow process," he said. "Firing this government does not mean the next government will be able to solve the problems any faster. It definitely means the process of solving problems will stop and will have to start again."

Sid EU leaders to debate Blair presidency on summit sidelines Climate talks overshadowed by divisive subject of Tony Blair's candidacy to be Europe's first president European government chiefs gather in Brussels this evening for a summit likely to be the first occasion to broach the divisive subject of Tony Blair's candidacy to be Europe's first president. The topic is not formally on the agenda of a meeting that will be dominated by wrangling over climate change funding and how to get the Czech president, Vaclav Klaus, to add the final signature to the reformist Lisbon treaty. But senior diplomats predicted there would be intense private discussion on the fringes of the summit over the question: who will get the plum job of first sitting president of the European council, the pre-eminent EU forum that brings leaders together for summits at least four times a year. David Miliband, the foreign secretary, said today that Blair would give Europe a "strong voice" on the global stage, but his comments were seized on by his Conservative shadow, William Hague, who said the debate over the presidency proved that the UK should have held a referendum on the Lisbon treaty. Officially, the job does not exist until Klaus finalises Czech ratification of the treaty, expected within weeks. While Blair personally has kept quiet about his ambitions, the British government is campaigning increasingly assertively on the former prime minister's behalf. "We will be making the case for a strong, internationally known figure who can open doors in [foreign] capitals," said an official. "There is only one candidate." That was not a reference to Jean-Claude Juncker, the veteran Luxembourg prime minister and European fixer, who is the only contender so far to have openly declared his candidacy. He emerged this week as the anti-Blair. Juncker looks certain to fail in his bid for the top job. But he may well succeed in destroying Blair's chances, being viewed as a stalking horse who will vanish to make way for a third unknown contender. While the Blair debate rages on the sidelines of the summit, the big priority for the Swedish government chairing the meeting is to try to break a deadlock on EU funding of climate change programmes in the developing world ahead of the Copenhagen conference in December. Berlin and Warsaw are the keys to a deal, but the prospects for a breakthrough look dim. Fredrik Reinfeldt, the Swedish prime minister, warned that Europe's credibility on global warming was at stake. In recent weeks European governments have locked horns over the financing package and have been unable to reach agreement. The aim is to come up with pledges of an EU fund of up to €15bn (£13.4bn) a year by 2020 for transfers to the developing countries to combat global warming. The overall package is central to a Copenhagen deal. But with the other big players, especially the US, which is reluctant to commit to a figure, Germany believes Europe should not show its hand until the Copenhagen negotiations. The European commission and others such as the UK and the Scandinavians believe agreeing on a figure in advance would strengthen Europe's global leadership role on climate change and send a strong signal to other potential signatories. The Poles and other eastern Europeans are unhappy at being asked to stump up for developing countries such as Brazil, which is wealthier than the poorer EU members. The Poles are refusing to agree a package and figures for Copenhagen unless it is first decided how the bill will be split among the EU's 27 governments. In the midst of a financial crisis, the eastern Europeans say they cannot afford the climate change fund. Angela Merkel, sworn in yesterday for a second term as German chancellor, will be pivotal to any climate change financing deal and her answer to the Blair question may also be decisive. So far, she has been hedging her bets.

In Paris last night the French and German leaders discussed the posts, although there was little information on whether they reached a pact. Sarkozy said the two leaders agreed on "almost everything". Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg — all said to nurse ambitions to secure the presidential post themselves — have come out publicly against Blair on the grounds that he would neglect the interests of smaller EU member states — 19 out of the total 27. Adding his voice to the argument, Demitris Christofias, the president of Cyprus, said a council president "from a small country would be more objective and more consensual. The European Union is a family of compromises." The Dutch centre-right prime minister and possible contender, Jan-Peter Balkenende, has come under pressure this week to renounce European presidential ambitions since his move to Brussels could trigger early elections and the fall of his government. Christofias emphasised that tonight the priority would be to get the Klaus blocking of the Lisbon treaty lifted rather than focusing on who gets what under Lisbon. Senior diplomats agreed it was too early to discuss names. If Klaus signs thetreaty soon, a special summit would be convened next month to decide on the president and foreign minister, also leaving the European commission chief, Jose Manuel Barroso, to put together a new team.

Hours after G.nr.4,efl Srov.,,h delivered his strongest statement of support for Blair — disclosing that he had spoken to him earl;er this week — British sources indicated that the former prime minister was unlikely to assume the high-profile. job. "it would be right to describe Tony's c,hances as fading," one British source said."..slcgles. t...aa'r.sa; and are not terribly enthusiastic. Silvio Berlust.-,oni remains his strongest backer." Bialr's expected failure to secure the post of president of the European Council meant that ca,•,-,'et.,.."it;ity.n-te was emerging as a serious contender to assume the new post of high representative for foreign policy. The foreign secretary insisted, however, that.he was "not available". Miliband spoke out as British sources said it had become clear in recent days that Blair would struggle to become president. The post is likely to be filled in the next month amid signs that the Czech Republic will become the last EU country to ratify the Lisbon treaty. Sarkozy, the French president, and Merkel, the German chancellor, are understood to have agreed at a dinner at the Elysee Palace last night that the new president should be appointed from the main centre-right EPP grouping, which brings together the parties currently ruling most EU countries. Brown gave a hint at a press conference that Blair's candidacy was fading when he qualified his strong backing for his predecessor by stating that there were also other candidates for the job. "Of course it may not happen and there are other candidates as well," he said. The prime minister's remarks came after he attended an acrimonious meeting of the European centre-left leaders this afternoon, shortly before the EU summit in Brussels began. Brown was understood to have had a tense exchange with Martin Schulz, the German leader of the Socialists in the European parliament, who wants the left to assume the new foreign policy post, leaving the presidency to the centre right. Brown told the meeting: "You need to get real. This is a unique opportunity to get a progressive politician to be the president of the council." But it soon became clear that Blair has no support on the left, let alone on the centre right. Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Spain's centre-left prime minister, for the first time publicly queried the Blair candidacy by announcing that the centre left across the EU was more concerned with securing the other post of European foreign minister. Zapatero, who will have to work with the new European figureheads when Spain assumes the Eti's six-month rotating presidency on 1 January, said the European socialists were clear that they want the post of the high representative. "There is a preference for the high representative," he said. "That is rather reasonable." A senior Spanish official said this was the first time that Zapatero had "dropped Blair" and that the centre-left in the EU was seeking a deal with the centre-right, led by Merkel. The centre-right would get the job coveted by Blair, while the centre left would take the foreign minister post. The lack of support for Blair became clear when Jean Asselborn, Luxembourg's foreign minister, launched a strong attack on him as be emerged from the meeting of Socialist leaders. "lt is not about the person of Tony Blair. Now in the United States, Obama is the president, it is no more Mr Bush. We have a new treaty, we have to reset Europe and we need to start with some new ideas. There is and will remain a link for the next generation between Iraq, Bush and Tony Blair."

Brown believes it was right — and in the national interest — to argue strongly for Blair when there was a chance to secure such a senior post for Britain. Blair, who had a tense relationship with Brown during his decade as prime minister, will be pleased by the strength of his successor's support. Brown said today: "Let me say very clear that we, the British government, believe that Tony Blair would be an excellent candidate and an excellent person to hold the job of president of the council. "His international experience is well known, his expertise on environmental, economic and security issues is well known to If you have the chance for that to happen it is in everybody throughout Europe as well as known throughout the world Britain's national interest." guardian.co.uk Guardian News and Media Limited 2009 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767638 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767639 Date: 07/31/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject Abedin, Huma Thursday, October 29, 2009 10:25 PM Fw: Haiti Update: Senate Adjourns Without Taking Action on PM From: Sanders, Robert P To: Sullivan, Jacob J; Abedin, Huma; Wohlers, Paul; Macmanus, Joseph E Cc: SES-O_Shift-III; SES-O_Shift-I Sent: Thu Oct 29 22:19:28 2009 Subject: Haiti Update: Senate Adjourns Without Taking Action on PM Colleagues — Ambassador Merten, Embassy Port-au-Prince, reports the Haitian Senate hearings on PM Pierre-Louis have adjourned for the night and are expected to resume October 30.

Wow Editorial: Mrs. Clinton in Pakistan NEW YORK TIMES October 30, 2009 Hillary Rodham Clinton's first trip to Pakistan as secretary of state was never going to be easy. The day she arrived, extremists detonated a car bomb at a crowded market in Peshawar that killed at least 100 people. The Nation newspaper dismissed the visit as a mere "PR exercise, but who will buy what the US is selling is difficult to imagine, beyond the already compliant government." Polls show that an overwhelming majority of Pakistanis dislike and mistrust the United States. They blame Washington for using and then abandoning them after the Soviets were driven from Afghanistan. And they resent Washington for pressing their government now to fight against extremists — and suspect that they will be abandoned again. The fact that many of the extremists are on Pakistan's territory and threatening Pakistan's government has not shifted that thinking or mitigated that resentment. A good part of this, of course, is the failure of Pakistan's government, which has still not adequately explained that this is not just America's fight. But the United States is also to blame. For eight years the Bush administration coddled the Pakistani Army at the expense of the rest of society. Mrs. Clinton challenged Pakistan's government to do more to shut down Al Qaeda, but she was, rightly, determined to use this visit to also broaden the relationship. Instead of just courting President Asif All Zardari and the army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, Mrs. Clinton also held talks with the top opposition leader, Nawaz Sharif; parried questions from an audience of deeply suspicious college students; met with civil society leaders, including women and Pashtun elders; gave interviews to Pakistani journalists; and visited religious and cultural sights. She promised to refocus American aid on the "needs of the people" and announced targeted commitments, including $85 million for microloans for poor women to start businesses and $125 million for the first phase of an electricity project aimed at reducing blackouts and improving energy conservation. Those grants are welcome but still small change when compared with a five-year, $7.5 billion — nonmilitary — aid package approved by Congress and signed into law this year. That package was supposed to demonstrate to Pakistanis that, this time, the United States is in it for the long haul. Instead, it has become another focus of popular resentment. The Army and some Pakistani news media whipped that up with disingenuous complaints that the legislation (Islamabad was consulted beforehand) compromised Pakistan's sovereignty by conditioning disbursement on adequate civilian control of the military. If Washington is ever to enlist Pakistan as a reliable ally, it is going to have to do a much better job of explaining itself. And it is going to have to insist that Pakistan's leaders start explaining the real stakes to their citizens and the real benefits of an alliance with the United States. Mrs. Clinton's trip was an important start — but only a start.

They also reached agreement on Article 8 (Final Dispositions), the calendar of implementation of the Accord (Article 9), as well a final declaration (Article 10). Both delegations also prepared a new Article (11) giving thanks and special mention for their support to the U.S. (President Obama and Secretary Clinton), the OAS and President Arias. Both delegations signed the Tegucigalpa/San Jose Accord about mid-day today. As per its terms, the Accord is effective the moment it is signed. Both delegations also submitted a copy of the Accord to the National Congress about 2 PM this afternoon. The two sides plan to continue working this weekend with support from OAS staff re selecting the four member (2 Honduran and 2 international) Verification Commission. Both delegations expressed a strong preference for nominating Colin Powell (improbable due to his heavy travel schedule). Other names being considered include President Lagos of Chile, Sanguinetti of Uruguay, Governor Bill Richardson and Senator Mel Martinez. The Accord calls for the Verification Commission to be created by November 2. We understand that OAS Secretary General Insulza plans to arrive in Tegucigalpa on Sunday, November 1. The OAS is helping to organize a public ceremony commemorating the Accord on the morning of November 2. Both sides and the OAS plan to invite regional heads of state and foreign ministers. We expect President Arias and other Central American heads of state to attend the ceremony. We've heard that Z and M are already in contact, through intermediaries, with the objective of creating a government of national unity. Under the terms of the Accord, the new government must be formed between the signing of the Accord (today) and NLT November 5. While the current calendar of implementation appears to be going well, we expect Congressional approval of Article 6 to be complicated. While the presidential candidates support the Accord, there is concern within the parties about the timing of its implementation, particularly on the eve of the election. We will continue to reach out to political leaders and all sides and encourage them to support the expeditious implementation of the Accord.

Sid hrc memo blowup 103109.docx CONFIDENTIAL October 31, 2009 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Cameron Blowup in Europe . Without: passing "Go," David Cameron has seriously damaged his relations with the European leaders. Sending a letter to Czech leader Vaclav Klaus encouraging him not to sign the Lisbon Treaty, as though Cameron were already Prime Minister, he has offended Sarkozy, Merkel and Zapatero. Within the Conservative Party the Shadow Foreign Minister William Hague has arduously pressured for an anti-EU stance, despite his assurances to you that Tory policy toward Europe would be marked by continuity. Cameron has attempted to straddle factions, fending off calls for a national referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. But this letter is proof positive of his tilt to the Tory right on Europe. The European leaders understand that the letter signals his future policy and are reacting accordingly. Cameron's presumptive strike has accelerated the predicted Tory-European split from post-election to pre-election. Whether this affects Merkel's attitude on Blair and the EU presidency remains unclear, but Cameron's high-handed behavior is precisely the sort of thing that provokes her. See the Guardian report below: Guardian Europe leaders incensed by David Cameron's letter Sarkozy, Merkel and Zapatero criticise Tories for attempt to-delay treaty Niche: Watt and 1 anTi-aynor Fr i day 30 October 2009 22.21 GMT Leaders of three of the most powerful countries in Europe have strongly criticised David Cameron at the EU summit over Conservative plans to scupper the Lisbon treaty. Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel and Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero are understood to have privately criticised the Tory leader after he sent a handwritten letter to the Czech president Vaclav Klaus, who is refusing to sign the treaty. The letter was seen as an attempt to influence the Czech Republic, the only country not to have ratified the treaty. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767682 Date: 07/31/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05767682 Date: 07/31/2015 Senior British sources familiar with thinking at the highest levels of the EU say that the leaders of France, Germany and 5-_,ain all raised questions about the Cameron letter. It is understood that Cameron encouraged Klaus to delay the ratification of the treaty by setting out Tory policy to hold a referendum in Britain on the treaty if it has not been ratified by all member states. The sources have told the Guardian that: • Sarkozy was overheard telling Gordon Brown that he was incensed by Cameron's letter, which the French saw as an attempt to wreck the Lisbon treaty. • Merkel was also said to be upset by Cameron's letter. The German chancellor is understood to have echoed. concerns of senior figures in her CDU party, such as the former European parliament president Hans Gert Poettering, that Cameron's behaviour had been untrustworthy. • Zapatero - who addressed the recent Labour party conference and will have to negotiate directly with Cameron if he wins the election because Spain holds the EU's rotating presidency until July 2010 - made clear to diplomats that he regarded Cameron's letter as damaging and an attempt to scupper the treaty. The interventions by the EU leaders come as the Tories plan to abandon their two-year campaign to hold a referendum on the Lisbon treaty. Senior Tories told the Guardian that Cameron will set out his thinking in the coming weeks if, as expected, the Czech President finally ratifies the treaty. It is understood that Cameron will drop his pledge to hold a referendum on the treaty on the grounds that it is impossible to open a treaty that has entered EU law. A Tory government would instead focus on repatriating social and employment laws, in effect restoring the British opt-out from the social chapter. This has been sprinkled around various EU treaties since Tony Blair ended the opt-out in 1997, meaning that its measures could only be restored to Britain with the agreement of all member states. Brown yesterday used his appearance at the summit, where he held a series of formal and informal one-to-one meetings with EU leaders, to launch a strong attack on the Tories' approach to Europe. Speaking of the Tory decision to abandon the main centre-right EPP grouping in the European parliament in favour of a smaller group consisting mainly of fringe parties from the hard right in eastern Europe, the prime minister said: "The Conservative party are standing apart from the mainstream in Europe.. "They are part of a very small group of minorities - of 23 people apart from the Conservative party. They are standing on the fringes of Europe. That is a huge mistake for British interests." A Tory spokeswoman said: "We have never concealed the fact that we sent the letter David Cameron has made no secret of its contents. It sets out his public opinion in a private letter."
