CONCEPT NOTE FOR WORLD FOOD PRIZE CEREMONY

Thursday, June 11, 2009
This speech is an opportunity to signal the urgency of the problem of global hunger; connect it to an array of global
issues, including economic development, health and education, expanding opportunity for women, and political
stability; and declare the Administration's commitment to tackling hunger at its roots, through effective and efficient
collaboration with an array of partners.
Additionally, your remarks can point to a shift from past approaches by emphasizing the need to support local solutions
and focus on long-term sustainability to help people feed themselves and reduce the need for emergency assistance
down the road.
The speech could be framed as follows:
THE PRIZE AND PRIZE-WINNER

You can begin by announcing the winner of the 2009 World Food Prize, Dr. Gebisa Ejeta. He has a remarkable story:
born in a mud hut in Ethiopia, he got his PhD from Purdue University in plant breeding and genetics and developed
strains of sorghum that are drought-tolerant, high-yield, and resistant to the Striga weed, which devastates crops across
Africa.
Outside the lab, he helped start the Sudanese commercial seed industry; developed systems to produce, certify, and
market hybrid seeds; and educated farmers about the use of fertilizers and soil and water conservation. And he has
trained and inspired the next generation of African agricultural scientists.
A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH: FROM LAB TO FARM TO MARKET TO TABLE
Dr. Ejeta's work reflects the breadth of this issue and the comprehensive approach needed to address itone that
connects the labs where new seed technologies are developed.., the fields where small-scale farmers labor to feed their
families and make a living.., the markets where food is bought and sold... and the homes where people get the
nourishment they need to thrive.
In many places, that food chain is broken. One billion people worldwide woke up hungry this morning and will go to
sleep hungry tonight. Chronic hunger threatens health, while making it harder for people to work and students to learn,
which in turn stunts economic development. Last year's food riots demonstrated that when food is scarce, political
stability is threatened.
To date, the world's primary response to hunger has been to send emergency food aid. While this saves lives, it is a
short-term fix, and we need a long-term solution.
The Obama Administration is committed to leading in developing a new global approach. We will support the creation
of sustainable agricultural systems in appropriate regions around the world, to increase agricultural productivity, create
jobs, strengthen economies, and protect natural resources.
We will do this not by imposing one-size-fits-all solutions, but by assisting countries in carrying out individual strategies
that meet their needsfor example, through the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Plan. To facilitate
coordination and share best practices, we will seek to convene donor governments, multilateral institutions, NG0s,
private companies, foundations, universities, and individuals.
THE ANCHORS OF OUR APPROACH
We've identified seven anchors that secure sustainable agriculture systems. These will guide our approach.
Increase agricultural productivity by expanding access to quality seeds, fertilizer, irrigation, the credit to purchase
them, and the training to use them.

Stimulate the post-harvest sector by improving the storage and processing of food and improving transportation to
connect small farmers to markets.

Maintain natural resources so the land can be farmed well into the future and we can make the right adaptations
for the changing environment.

Expand knowledge and training by support R&D and developing the next generation of agriculture scientists.
Increase trade so small-scale farmers in developing countries can sell their crops far and wide.
Support policy reform and good governance, because sustainable agriculture flourishes in a,clear and predictable
policy and regulatory environment.
Support women and families in agriculture. Seventy percent of the world's farmers are women, but most of the
programs that offer credit and training to farmers target men. This must change for agriculture to thrive. And children
must have nutrition to contribute to their communities' future.
A PREVIEW OF WHAT'S TO COME
In the coming weeks, President Obama, Secretary Vilsack and I will be reaching out to share our approach to global
coordination and agriculture in greater detail. We will seek the input, wisdom and guidance of those who have been
working so long in this arenafrom the Congress to NGOs to academics to foundations to the private sector. The
President's conversations at the G-8 meeting in Italy in two weeks will address our approach, as well as my trip to Africa
in August.
Addressing hunger and food is essential to achieving economic recovery, stabilizing societies, and expanding opportunity
for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. This is why supporting sustainable agriculture worldwide will be a central
element of foreign policy in the Obama Administration.
CONCLUSION
You can circle back to the story of Dr. Ejeta to close. He represents the need for a multinational approach: born in
Ethiopia, educated in the United States, advised by Indian scientists, advisor to several African nations.

Was going to write earlier re Palau willingness to take the 17 Guantanamo Uighurs -- but see the story has now
broken. I am now representing Palau, primarily re extension of free association w/ the U.S. In touch w/Fried's office re
Uighurs. Big commitment for Palau since Chinese tourism was planned and its close geographically, etc. but their
premium is on U.S. relations (as sadly demonstrated by the loss of a Palauan in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan last week).
Also, just FYI now, I've been concerned that the Budget includes a far too low placeholder for free association
extension aid, $45-9 m over 10 years, although the aid is to be based on a joint review of need that will really begin with
a Palauan presentation Friday. (I think the number didn't reflect any rethinking by this Administration). The U.S. is to
respond in a month.

Spanish FM Moratinos has requested to speak with you today. Tom can give u verbal download but below are basic
points. Let me know if u want us to set up call
Points:
- We condemn the effort to remove Zelaya from office.
- We are working within the OAS and with our regional partners to resolve this situation quickly and in a manner that
restores democratic order.
- We appreciate the role Spain played in winning quick EU condemnation of the coup attempt.
- Our work is not done. Rebuilding trust among competing political institutions and reducing polarization within
Honduras will take a lot of work. We hope Spain will work with us and the OAS to ensure a restoration of democratic
order that will allow Honduras to carry through with it electoral timetable (presidential vote scheduled for November)
Note from tom:
Aside from the statements issued by the President and the Secretary, we have been working in the OAS Permanent
Council fashioning a consensus resolution mapping out a path forward, reaching out to regional partners ( I have spoken
twice with Salvadoran President Funes, and our Ambassadors have been working with other Central American leaders),
and working within Honduras to limit the damage to Honduras institutions.

10 received and disseminated the draft Honduras GA resolution, which Honduras has asked us to co-sponsor, this
evening. President Zelaya addresses the General Assembly tomorrow morning at 11:00 am, so USUN needs to be
instructed this evening.
The bureaus are happy to co-sponsor, as long as the resolution stays substantively the same. The draft text is below:
Begin Draft Text
DRAFT RESOLUTION UNDER ITEM 20 OF THE AGENDA: CONCERNING THE SITUATION IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND
PROGRESS TOWARD A REGION OF PEACE, DEMOCRACY AND DEVELOPMENT
The General Assembly, concerned by the political and social events since June 28, 2009 in the Republic of Honduras;
Recalling the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter, the OAS Charter, and the Inter-American
Democratic Charter;
Deeply concerned by the unconstitutional alteration of the democratic order, which has endangered security,
democracy and rule of law, and jeopardized the safety of Honduran citizens and foreigners;
1. Condemns the breaking of constitutional order in Honduras and the overthrow of the democratically elected
President Don Jose Manuel Zelaya Rosales,
2. Demands the restoration of President Jose Manuel Zelaya Rosales to his constitutional duties so that he may fulfill
the mandate for which he was elected by the Honduran population,
3. Refuses to recognize any Government of Honduras other than the constitutionally legitimate government of
President Zelaya.
4. Requests the Secretary-General inform the General Assembly on the progress of events in that country.
End Draft Text
Is it okay to co-sponsor the GA resolution?
The State bureaus are going to defer to USUN about whether we should announce that we are co-sponsors
Please let me know if you have an opinion on whether we should

announce our co-sponsorship in advance and I can share with 10/USUN.

TEGUCIGALPA, June 30 (Reuters) - An interim government set up after a military coup in Honduras said it will send a
delegation of politicians, business leaders and lawyers to Washington on Wednesday for talks on the crisis.
Roberto Micheletti, sworn in as caretaker president after leftist President Manuel Zelaya was toppled by the army on
Sunday, announced the mission after Zelaya traveled to New York and Washington to address the United Nations and
Organization of American States.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Congressman Henry Waxman, the powerful chairman the U.S. House of Representatives Energy
and Commerce Committee, has been hospitalized in Los Angeles for an undisclosed ailment, a spokeswoman said. The
69-year-old veteran Democrat from Southern California was not feeling well on Tuesday and was admitted to CedarsSinai Medical Center for "routine testing," the spokeswoman, Karen Lightfoot said. "He's feeling much better now,"
Lightfoot said. She declined to disclose the nature of his ailment or how long he is expected to remain in the hospital.
Waxman, a member of Congress since 1975, was a leading co-sponsor of landmark climate change legislation passed by
the House on Friday.

Isn't a surprise since 5 years ago he removed his brother as official crown prince.
Basically he's not honoring his fathers dying wish but since constitution says it should be son (with brother as option) he
has clear authority to do it. I personally think this shows confidence in his position as he's not worried about an outcry
from his fathers loyalists.

At 1945, local NIC media aired footage from MGA airport of Zelaya getting back on plane. It appeared that FM Rodas

NIC president Ortega put Z on plane at airport, but did not go with him.
Footage was recent, if not live, perhaps no more than 20 minutes old.

Looping other members of SITREP spam -- Managua understands that plane with ousted HOND President Zelaya left
WDC at approx 1500 WDC time. Also understand that plane is expected in Managua at approx 1924 local. Understand
that a separate plane with Argentine Pres Kirchner and Ecuadorian Pres. Correa also left WDC this afternoon en route to
El Salvador.
NEW INFORMATION
About 45 minutes ago, Telesur had images of apparent pro-Zelaya supporters at the airport fence and trying to pull it
down. Security forces inside the airport compound re-deployed to prevent a breach. It seems they did use white smoke
or gas to deter protestor action. Telesur also reported that shots were fired into the assembled crowd and that one or
two people were shot and killed (no names or confirmation). Images of ambulances in crowd were visible.
It seems now that the fence has been breached and a handful of pro-Zelaya supporters move in and out of airport area
to pick up rocks and retreat (there is open, clear area inside fence, possible construction). Security forces have taken up
positions on tarmac, presumably to prevent further incursion.

With respect to Micheleti assertion that NIC troops have mobilized near the border, our NIC contacts, both in GON and
private citizens indicate that there has been NO/NO unusual NIC mil activity at border -- Las Manos or El Espino.
However, as of 1900 Saturday, border contacts at El Espino report that HOND military reinforced its presence by about
70 personnel, who remain at El Espino. We were told this happened at Las Manos as well, but have not yet been able to
confirm with our sources at that border location.
Will continue to monitor and observe.

Investigating reports of the murder and torture of gay men in Iraq, Ashley Byrne found that some gays found Saddam
Hussein's dictatorship preferable to the threat of violence they face today. Some readers will find parts of his report
disturbing.
There has been so much news of death and destruction from Iraq that the position of sexual minorities is rarely touched
on in the mainstream media.
But stories of torture and murder of gay Iraqis, particularly men, have been emerging in the gay press for several years.
Investigating these stories for a BBC Radio 5 Live documentary, Gay Life After Saddam, I've heard a range of views about
the deteriorating conditions for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people.
Some say the violence has intensified in the past few months. Others say killings run into the hundreds and have been
going on since 2003.
What is clear, and confirmed by separate evidence from various human rights groups, is that some gay men have been
subjected to appalling violent abuse.
One young Iraqi, Amil (not his real name) recalled the death of a friend: "They found out he was gay and they killed him
and they chopped him like a lamb, it was awful."
Another man (who wished to remain anonymous) revealed to Scott Long from the New York-based Human Rights
Watch, how his partner was kidnapped and killed.
"It was late one night when four armed men came to take my boyfriend from his parents' house.
" They found out he was gay and they killed him and they chopped him like a Iamb"
Amil, a gay Iraqi
"They were masked and dressed in black.
"We found his body the next day dumped in the garbage, his throat cut out, his genitals cut off."
Of all the shocking testimony we heard, a form of torture involving glue has to be the most awful revelation to emerge
from our investigations.
Human Rights Watch researcher Rasha Moumneh told us: "We've heard stories of gay-specific torture where men have
glue in their anuses and they force-feed them laxatives."
Gay men inside Iraq have been able to seek sanctuary in safe houses, thanks to the UK-based Iraqi Lesbian Gay Bisexual
and Transgender (LGBT) group, which manages them from London.
The documentary team were granted exclusive access to one of the homes on the outskirts of Baghdad, where we found
a 31-year-old transsexual man called Qasim (not his real name).
Qasim said: "I'm scared all the time. I often think people are going to come in the night and take me because I am
particularly known as gay."
All the LGBT Iraqis interviewed for Gay Life After Saddam maintained that life was easier for them when Saddam Hussein
was in power, from 1979 to 2003.
Some spoke fondly of an underground gay culture that flourished before the war in Baghdad.
But it was unclear exactly what Saddam's view on homosexuality was, and there has been some evidence to suggest that
the former dictator was acting to clamp down on sexual minorities in the latter years of his reign.
So who is to blame for the violence against LGBT people in Iraq?
Some blame militia, while other accuse religious leaders of stoking up hatred of homosexuals, though some clerics have
also recently condemned the attacks on gays.
The Iraqi government and police also deny that there have been any state-sanctioned killings or torture of homosexuals
in Iraq.
What is clear however is that gay people in Iraq have not been crushed.
He may be holed up in a safe house but Qasim is hopeful: "I find the Iraqi prime minister quite good.
"I hope he can talk with religious leaders, change the constitution and punish and imprison the murderers."
Meanwhile the refugee who runs the safe houses from London, Ali HiIli, lives in constant fear of his life after being sent
two fatwas, or Islamic religious rulings.
But he has insisted he will not give up trying to help gay people in Iraq.
"If I think too much that someone is going to get me and kill me then I know I'd stop what I'm doing.
"I have to continue because I really believe in the work that I am doing."
Gay Life After Saddam was broadcast on Radio 5 Live, Sunday 5 July.

My guess is that he is calling about Honduras. He, like many other leaders with an interest in Central America, is worried
that Honduras is slipping towards confrontation and violence. He probably does not think Insulza is up to the task. S
should be aware that Arias is prepared to offer his services. I spoke with the Costa Rican FonMin, who said the de facto
government has reached out to Arias, and that the Costa Ricans will be looking for a way to make the offer to Zelaya.
Uribe knows Zelaya and has some influence. Uribe might want to talk with Arias and offer to help move Zelaya in the
right direction. (Although Uribe and Zelaya come from different ends of the political spectrum, they are both ranchers
and love horses, and this has created some comradeship.)

2009 @ 7:00 am
Coming at the end of a tumultuous week in China marked by earthquakes, riots, and continued economic uncertainty,
the news that the US had finally confirmed that its participation in Expo 2010
<http://en.expo2010.cn/a/20090710/000011.htm> (a/k/a, next year's world fair) didn't seem particularly significant.
And, with much of Shanghai's foreign correspondent corps preoccupied with more pressing news elsewhere in China, it
didn't receive much coverage. Fair enough, I think. However, insofar as the US pavilion or lack thereof had become
an increasingly thorny diplomatic issue between China and the United States, the signing ceremony was an important
signal that some kind of resolution was at hand.
I've been following the mostly sad saga of the US pavilion for several months now, both on Shanghai Scrap
<http://shanghaiscrap.com/?cat=38>, and elsewhere <http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200904u/shanghai-expo-2010>
. And, until two weeks ago, there was absolutely no reason to believe that a participation agreement would ever be
signed. Shanghai Expo, Inc. <http://usapavilion2010.comh , a non-profit authorized by the US State Department to
fund-raise, design, build, and operate a US pavilion, had failed to raise sufficient funds to break ground. At yesterday's
signing ceremony, Beatrice Camp, the US Consul General in Shanghai blamed the underwhelming fundraising on the
global economic crisis <http://shanghai.usembassy-china.org.cn/071009.html> a point that was picked up by the
Chinese media <http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-07/10/content_11685418.htm> . No doubt, the economic
crisis played a role, but as Camp and others close to the US effort surely know, the other important factor was the
inexperienced and increasingly erratic trio running the non-profit Shanghai Expo, Inc. As recently as last month, one of
its members Frank Lavin, a former US ambassador to Singapore and Undersecretary of Commerce issued a press
release falsely claiming that the US Congress had "adopted" a resolution in support of the US pavilion
<http://shanghaiscrap.com/?p=3106> . This incident, and others like it, succeeded in alienating potential donors
(including major US corporations with operations in China), vast swaths of the US expatriate business community in
Shanghai, and most crucially members of the Shanghai government. For those of us following the events, the
question was no longer "How badly will the US damage its relationship with China if it doesn't participate?" but instead
became "What's worse for US-China relations? Turning down Shanghai's Expo invite or continuing the current,
incompetent effort?"
The July 1 appointment of Jose Villarreal as Commissioner General to the US pavilion effort seems to have changed the
equation. A lawyer with ties to the Clintons, Secretary of State Clinton empowered him to oversee the US effort. He
didn't waste any time, either, arriving in Shanghai on Monday, and managing to pull of the signing on Friday. One person
familiar with Villarreal's role described it as the arrival of an "adult" to a chaotic situation that badly needed one. Indeed,
if there's one telling detail to the handful of official and press accounts of yesterday's signing, it's the total absence of
the Shanghai Expo, Inc. members from the official comments and photos (US Consulate coverage here
<http://en.expo2010.cn/a/20090710/000011.htm> ; Shanghai government account here
<http://en.expo2010.cn/a/20090710/000011.htm> ), none of whom live or work in Shanghai, anyway. If that was a
conscious decision, it was a wise one.
A final point. As Villarreal conceded, the US effort must still raise roughly half of its $61 million budget. I suspect that
with Villarreal in charge of the effort reluctant wallets will become less so. Regardless, though, this raises a still
unresolved question: namely, what are the actual fundraising rules for the US pavilion effort? Back in 2007, the State
Department indicated that it would not sign a participation agreement with Expo 2010, Inc until all funds were raised for
a pavilion. Apparently, that ill-conceived policy has changed. I say apparently because, up until now, the State
Department has refused to release the "action plan" that governs fundraising and other rules related to the US pavilion
in Shanghai. As a result of this official intransigence, a Freedom of Information Act request has been filed to obtain this
document(s?) <http://shanghaiscrap.com/?p=3103 > . Why the secrecy? It's anybody's guess, and according to the State
Department's FOIA office, we can keep guessing until Thanksgiving it's around then that they'll get around to releasing
the documents.
[UPDATE: Just received notice that groundbreaking for the US pavilion will be on July 17 at 10:30 AM. Secretary of
Commerce Gary Locke will be present.]

Below is the statement of very impressive Palau reps at the end of a session of required meetings on the next phase of
free association aid. 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. Thank you.

Dear Secretary Clinton,
Your assistant, Lona Valmoro, and I have been exchanging emails on trying to find a time to meet in Washington on July
30. I am hopeful something can be worked out. In the meantime, I wanted to take you up on your offer below and
provide you with a few thoughts on China prior to the upcoming SED on July 27-28. I send you this note from Beijing
(midway through a four-day visit) via Blackberry -- so apologies for any typos.
1. Mounting signs of social instability have intensified China's growth imperatives. Beijing insiders are very concerned
about the Xinjiang uprising; Hu Jintao's pre-G-8 exit validates those concerns. Coming on the heels of last year's
problems in Tibet, social instability can no longer be dismissed as an isolated occurrence. In both cases, my sources claim
growth shortfalls have exacerbated ethnic disturbances. China's recent fiscal stimulus -- especially infrastructure
initiatives in the West -- attempts to address this. Growth has long been modern China's antidote to the risks of social
instability.
2. A massive external demand shock dilutes the growth antidote that China needs to contain social instability. In fact,
the global recession adds a new risk factor to China's social instability equation. The government has confirmed reports
of over 20 million layoffs of migrant workers in export-intensive Guangdong Province -- a direct outgrowth of the
collapse of Chinese exports over the past year (from growth of +25% in mid-2008 to a contraction of -25% in May 2009).
Driven by a record capitulation of the American consumer -- real US consumption down by -1.8% over the past four
quarters (a 58-year record plunge) -- China's biggest source of end-market export demand has been hit with an
extraordinary shock. To the extent there is more to come on this count -- and that remains my best guess, although with
a less dramatic US consumption adjustment than we saw over the past year -- external demand pressures will continue
to undermine China's growth imperatives and feed heightened concerns over social instability.
3. China's stimulus package is a "quick fix" that can only exacerbate its already worrisome structural imbalances. The
focus of the stimulus is on its two most unbalanced sectors -- fixed investment and exports, which collectively account
for about 80% of Chinese GDP. Fully 72% of the RMB4 trillion fiscal initiative announced last November goes to
infrastructure. And there are aggressive incentives directed at exporters (i.e., tax rebates, "buy China" procurement
incentives, SME credit support, etc.). Moreover, there has been a huge push of State-directed bank lending -- the fullyear 2009 lending target was hit in mid-April! This latter initiative underscores the risks of deteriorating loan quality and
associated banking problems down the road. Meanwhile, despite public claims to the contrary, very little has been done
to stimulate the one sector in China that needs it the most -- internal private consumption. Social safety net efforts are
still puny -- the recent healthcare plan translates into US$30 per person for three years and the National Social Security
Fund only has enough assets to provide about $90 of lifetime social security benefits per worker! This forces fear-driven
-- or precautionary -- saving that, in turn, inhibits the consumer-led impetus a Chinese rebalancing urgently needs.
4. All this points to an asymmetrical global rebalancing -- a very worrisome prognosis for a post-crisis world. Despite all if
our problems, the US is actually tempering its greatest macro imbalance -- excess consumption. At the same time, China
is unfortunately upping the ante on its two most unbalanced sectors -- investment and exports. Sadly, this could set up a
still unbalanced global economy for another serious accident in the not-so-distant future.
Sorry to have rambled so much. There is a good deal more to each of the points above -- but wanted to give you the
highlights ahead of the SED. Good luck with that -- and with all else that seems to be going on around the world. Hope to
see you on the 30th.

Dear Secretary Clinton,
Although I regretfully missed seeing you on your swing through Beijing earlier this year, I will be back in Washington on
July 30. Would love the opportunity to meet with you briefly and give you up update on my thoughts/ insights into China
and the rest of the region. The story is not quite as neat as it appears on the surface. Despite all the hype, this region
remains an export machine that should struggle in the aftermath of the crisis -- with important implications for many of
the global economic issues you are facing. I have had extensive meetings throughout the region over the past few
months and would welcome the opportunity to provide you with a first hand assessment.
One other note: I will be publishing a book in Sept! Oct, "The Next Asia", which digs beneath the surface of many of the
macro issues the region faces. It is generally constructive on the Asian outlook but lays out a number of critical
milestones that must be hit to validate the hopes and dreams of the "Asia Century." I have asked the publisher (Wiley)
to send you an advance copy of the manuscript in the hope you or your staff might find it of interest.
Hope to hear back from you on the feasibility of meeting later this month.
Best regards,
Stephen S. Roach

OK. Went through it. It's not too much shorter, but I think it's tighter here and there. Made slight change at end to try
to tie in with how it started to bring full circle.
An area where you could save time and space (but I didn't try to change it) would be to shorten the parts where you talk
about Israel and Palestine and about Iraq and Afghanistan - it seems to me that those are tactical discussions of an
existing issue, and somewhat removed from the more abstract and strategic policy outline she's otherwise aiming at
here.
By the way, the phrase "global network of diverse partnerships" seems to be absent now. I kind of liked it on several
levels, but I presume it met some objection along the way...

Whenever you do something big on TV we all hear from lots of folks saying you did great. But this time is noticeably
different. First, people across the spectrum - DC insiders, reporters, staff, ex-staff, friends of friends, WH folks, etc were blown away. Second, people were REALLY moved by the last segment, three people even told me they teared up.
I'm guessing and hoping you hear this directly from random folks in the coming days.
And I think because it's been a lousy couple of weeks for the Admin, with mixed messages and bad news, coupled with
many people seeing you for the first time for an extended period talking about the job and your relationship with the
President, and that combo was probably the most powerful reminder since your speech in Denver that you're in a class
all your own (including the President who became enmeshed in the Gates incident)
That you didn't wait for the envoy question was key, you turned it into a strength. What you said about the President
and how you said it, one can't help but think how much of a team player you are and how remarkably you've adapted to
the role.
You were definitely on your game. You either threw a perfect game - or at least a no hitter. So this couldn't have gone
better, achieved everything we needed to times 10, and comes on the heels of a great 10 days.
Will be interesting to see the storyline that emanates from this. Because there was no substantive news, it'll be a focus
on style - especially saving Biden.

Re: N. Ireland forum at CGI
1. Shaun Woodward, UK Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, suggested a panel at CGI to be conducted by former
President Clinton of British and Irish prime ministers, and perhaps leaders in NI, under the theme of "Implementing
Peace."
2. Former President Clinton has conveyed to me his approval, contingent on approval of the State Department.
3. I have copied below (and attached) Woodward's letter to me.
4. Let me know to move this forward.
Dear Sid,
Following our conversations about the CGI, it would be good to try and explore further now with President Clinton and
State the idea for an event at the CGI for Northern Ireland.
As you know, and very much thanks to the help again of HRC, we hope to be able to move forward with the final phase
of the political process in the Autumn.
As the CGI coincides with the UN meeting and also the G20, we should explore the idea of whether we could bring
together and participation of both the British and Irish Prime Ministers under the auspices of the CGI. The theme could
be 'Implementing Peace'. The session would explore the steps for the peace and political process in NI and obviously a
session could have wider application into say the Middle East peace and political process.
To take this forward it would be helpful to explore this with President Clinton and State, and following their expression
of interest/approval, I would take this forward with the British and Irish Prime Ministers.
Let me know your thoughts.
Best
Shaun

Subject: Secretary Clinton Must Focus on Cause of Congo Conflict
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should focus on the fuel which drives the violence in Congo, the conflict minerals
extracted from the eastern war zone and widely used by our consumer electronics industry. "Clinton's visit to Goma
tomorrow provides the opportunity for the United States to deepen its overdue engagement in search of a solution for
the world's deadliest war," Enough Project co-founder John Prendergast said today.
"Tantalum helps cool cell phones and laptops. Tungsten enables the vibration function in a cell phone. Tin is a solder for
most circuit boards in nearly every electronic product. And gold is used to encase wiring. Until the trade in minerals
becomes legal and transparent, there will be no peace in Congo," Prendergast said.
Clinton earlier highlighted the role of conflict minerals in what she called "the unspeakable violence against women and
girls in eastern Congo."
"It is the worst example of man's inhumanity to women. And women are being used in conflicts. Now, what are the
conflicts about? Well, yes, there are tribal and other reasons why the conflicts are going on, but get below the surface.
It's because there are mines in eastern Congo that produce the minerals that go into our cell phones and our other
electronics. There is a lot of money being made by a lot of people, but it sure isn't helping the people of the DRC,"
Clinton said in an interview in Nairobi.
The majority of sexual violence cases reported in North Kivu since January have been attributed to government soldiers
according to the Congo Advocacy Coalition, a group of 88 humanitarian and human rights organizations, including
Enough Project. Early last month the Congolese Government announced a policy of "zero tolerance" for abuses
committed by army soldiers and said commanders who permit their troops to commit such crimes will be held
responsible but to date, only a handful of officers have been arrested.
"The increase in rape in an area where already so many women and girls have been victims is deplorable," said Olivia
Caeymaex of Enough. "Ending impunity for rape and other serious crimes needs to be at the heart of any strategy to
combat sexual violence. Secretary Clinton should ensure US diplomatic and financial assets are focused on bringing to
justice those who are most responsible."

Well, I finally made it. Quite a start to be able to ride in with the President in AF1 and then roll into meetings with

pack out, but will also follow up on a number of other issues while I am there.
I wanted to ask if you thought it might be possible to get a bit of time with the Secretary. There are two requests going
through the system. One is for a formal swearing in. I understand that she has one swearing in at 4:00 on Monday in
the Ben Franklin room, so one option would be if she could do the same for me in the Treaty Room at 4:30. I know this
is short notice this has been one of those cases where planning has alluded us.
The second request is for a meeting with the Secretary. I would very much appreciate the chance to go over priorities
moving forward, as well as provide a few initial observations.
Sorry to have to bother you with this. If it were not for the short timeframe and
I would not want to trouble you with this kind of thing.
Many thanks,

Preaching reform, Clinton wins African hearts

By DONNA BRYSON (AP) 1 hour ago
JOHANNESBURG In Liberia, Hillary Clinton brought out the crowds despite torrential rain. 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.
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.
The crowds in Nigeria and Angola were fewer, but community and religious leaders seemed excited just to be with
Clinton and be heard by her.
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. "But somewhere along the way, we do need to see ...
what's going to come to keep the momentum going."

Jake, when you can, I think I speak for the group when I say that we'd like and After Action Report on last night's date

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.
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
Canci.ln 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.

Jake -- Peter Harrell and I have been concerned all last week that we are really losing the initiative on Honduras and that
some more forceful intervention is needed. I think this is a real opportunity for S to get her first real diplomatic win on
resolving a crisis. She looked great at the outset of this crisis, but now American policy seems to be drifting. It's also a
chance to turn her and POTUS's recent words on democracy into action. Pse get the attached 1 page memo to her
today; I have been working w/ WHA but they take forever and Tom is obviously in a delicate position. I'm also pasting it
in below, in addition to a cable from our ambassador that she has probably seen making some of the same points. We
really need to move here to avoid further damage; on the upside we have the possibility of a real win. I'll make the
argument directly in the early morning mtg tomorrow, but I'd like her to see this first.

Moving Forward on Honduras
SUBJECT:
I got lots of signals last week that we are losing ground in Latin America every day the Honduras crisis continues;
high level people from both the business and the NGO community say that even our friends are beginning to think we
are not really committed to the norm of constitutional democracy we have worked so hard to build over the last 20
year. The current stalemate favors the status quo; the de facto regime has every incentive to run out the clock as long as
they think we will have to accept any post-election government You played an important leadership role at the outset of
the crisis; I urge you to think about taking bold action now to breathe new life into the process and signal that regardless
what happens on the Hill, you and the president are serious. WHA and I are working on a memo proposing some
options, but experience has taught me that this could take several days. So I wanted to give you a heads up this
weekend.
We need to strengthen both the carrots and the sticks in this process. Re the de factos, we should find that coup
was a "military coup" under U.S. law and revoke the visas of more de facto regime members. We should also go after
the visas of a few prominent de facto supporters in Honduras's business community, signaling that we'll widen this net
if negotiations fail. We should also make noises about prohibiting U.S. companies from.doing business with companies
controlled the de factos, though we have to be careful about the impact on Honduran institutions.
CABLE FROM AMB. Llorens, SENT YESTERDAY MORNING.

AIL: I received a call from Arias late last night. He seemed to be recovering well from the flu but was at his home
resting. I briefed him on how I saw the situation in Honduras. I stressed the importance of a successful visit by the OAS
FMs. I agreed M's recent public comments again suggesting that Insulza was not welcomed were unhelpful. I noted that
somewhat better was the statement made by the Corrales delegation yesterday at a press conference in Toncontin
Airport upon returning from DC reaffirming that Insulza was expected to be with the delegation. I told Arias the
importance of arranging a substantive schedule for the FMs w regime, civil society, business, and religious leaders as
well as pro-Zelaya social sector supporters. I also stressed the importance of giving these folks a fair hearing but also
that it was critical that the FMs explain the international community's expectations and strong hope that both sides
return quickly to San Jose and reach and sign a final agreement.
Arias concurred that that was also his expectation. He expressed concern that the regime may be seeking to stall and
delay. He said the regime delegation did not seemed fully committed to reaching a deal and seemed focused on
tinkering with the political amnesty question. Arias believes that the core regime supporters in the business community
were still strongly resisting an agreement. He suggested that the US needed to increase the pressure on these folks and
consider taking away their visas and possibly freeze their bank accounts. I said I would pass on his suggestion. I said we
were reaching out to people in Honduras and urging the importance of a succesful FMs meeting as a prelude to a final
agreement. I said I would also speak to Corrales and get him focused on having the regime prepared for the FMs with
creative and concrete ways of bolstering the enforcement aspects of a final deal. Arias thanked our support and we
agreed to speak again over the weekend. Hugo

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.
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 Afghariistan 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
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.
I believe that taking those steps on an urgent basis, While completing the previously planned and announced increase in
U.S. combat forces, provides the best chance of success for our mission: preventing Afghanistan from again being run by
a Taliban government which harbors and supports Al-Qaeda, whose goal is to inflict additional catastrophic attacks on
the United States and the world. 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.

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED
Somalia
Cheryl noted that she needed to hear further from the Secretary on the proposed changes to the OFAC letter with
respect to humanitarian assistance to Somalia and the potential for diversion. She indicated she would let Eric Schwartz
know where things stand.
Afghanistan
No one has yet seen the McChrystal Report.
Iraq
Jack stressed his continued concern over funding for the transfer of police training responsibilities from Defense to
State, noting that it remains "highly ambiguous." (The estimated cost is an initial $500 million, with an additional $700
million a year in expenses.) Defense is insisting it does not have money to transfer to State for this purpose, and the
idea of a Supplemental is problematic, not the least because the timing would not coincide with the transfer of
responsibilities. Jack is concerned that we will look like we are holding up the transfer.
Chinese Tires
Jim reported that there had been another meeting on Chinese tire imports yesterday where there was interagency
agreement on the "first best option," but disagreement over other options. The Chinese are in town for negotiations
and there will be another meeting tomorrow after the first round.
Baghdad Management Issues
Eric Boswell noted that the Department would extend
Eric also noted that the roof of the USAID building in Baghdad had collapsed.
Congressional Issues
Rich said that he met with Senator DeMint yesterday to discuss the holds on Valenzuela and Shannon. Rich thinks
DeMint is prepared to let Valenzuela go forward, but would like to speak to Jim Steinberg regarding Honduras. He will
insist on a debate and roll call vote for Tom Shannon. DeMint apparently warned, however, that any "substantive
change" in our current policy vis--vis Honduras would jeopardize both nominations.
Codel Levin will be heading to Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, but will not overlap with Jack Lew's stay in those
places.
Legal Issues
Harold said that one fallout from the renewed focus on Libya is that some former claimants are coming back
seeking new relief.
Hurricane Jimena
I noted that Hurricane Jimena is expected to make landfall in Baja early tomorrow morning as a powerful Category
4 or 5 Hurricane. Embassy Mexico City and Consulate General Tijuana have issued warden messages and Consular
Affairs has put out a travel alert advising citizens to avoid the areas likely to be hit. Many hotels in the path of the storm
have been largely evacuated, but there are still many Americans who could be affected. The Ops Center is in close touch
with our missions in Mexico to monitor conditions.
Public Affairs
RI anticipates questions about Iran's alleged willingness to restart talks and whether the Secretary will meet with
Zelaya.
Deputies Meeting Highlights
Sri Lanka
The War Crimes Office said that the report to the Hill on alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka is due by September 21.
They have prepared a 60-page draft which is now circulating for clearance. The report covers the period up to May, but
Jack encouraged the Office to consider including later material if it would be helpful.
Pakistani Internally Displaced Persons
Eric Schwartz said that the Op-ed in today's post by Morton Abramowitz criticizing the U.S. and Pakistan for
allegedly forcing the return of IDPs into Swat and other areas is simply not true. Eric said he would call Mort to discuss
this.
Export Controls
Andrew Shapiro noted that the interagency process aimed at "reforming" export controls gets underway today.
The goal is to have something to present to Deputies in six weeks.
Brazilian Oil Development
David Goldwyn said that Brazil's proposed regulations for developing its vast offshore petroleum reserves were
disappointing. Brazil seems to have opted for a nationalist model that will substantially delay bringing on line the most
promising non-OPEC source of oil in years.
H1N1
OES reported that the Administration will release its report on H1N1 in the Southern Hemisphere today. The
analysis of the virus in several developed countries in the region suggests that it has not mutated and that the vaccine
being developed should be effective. It is still not clear, however, whether one or two doses will be required.

Dear Melanne,
We've been in contact with Salam Alshehri, the project coordinator of the newly launched Entelak school program
Glamour helped create for young girls through Sana'a's Girls World Communication Center. She reports that they are in
contact with Nujood who is in fact in third grade at a private school. While Nujood isn't in the demographic for the
Entelak Project since she's still young enough for public (free) education, she is the role model for the targeted girls.
And since Nujood is the spirit of the Project, Salam and her colleagues are thinking of ways to include her in the activities
and trainings as much as possible.
We've also spoken to Delphine Minoui, the French reporter who first covered Nujood's case and has since co-written
Nujood's autobiography. Delphine has taken on the funding of Nujood's private schooling and confirms that Nujood is in
fact still attending school. CNN got it wrong apparently,
Let me know if you'd like to brainstorm about other ways to help support Nujood.
All best,
Susan

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 <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/article/2009/05/19/AR2009051903475.html > -- 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.
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.

Subject: Possible Rieser Call on Foreign Ops Bill
Cheryl:
We have just learned that Tim Rieser may call you soon to request that the Secretary call Senator Reid to urge him take
up the FY10 State/Foreign Ops Appropriations Bill at the earliest opportunity in September to avoid the negative
impact of a continuing resolution on State operations and programs.
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.
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.

Allison Stanger is a professor at Middlebury who has a book coming out on contracting she has spent the last
3 years tracking down more data on the full scope of the contracting problem than anyone else and has done the most
sophisticated thinking about what we need to do. She has a book coming out from Yale University Press this fall; the

I'll have her down to talk to QDDR team. But meantime, given that issue is current right now, I thought S might benefit

Smart-Sourcing Diplomacy and Development
While most Americans do not know it, the business of foreign policy is increasingly in private hands. In 2000, the State
Department spent $1.3 billion on contracts and $102.5 million on grants. By 2008, grant spending had grown to $2.5
billion and contract spending had grown to $5.6 billion. In 2000, USAID spent $0 on grants[1] and $478.6 million on
contracts. By 2008, those figures had climbed to $5.2 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively (source: USAspending.gov[2]).
Contracting is still perceived as something peripheral to policy itself, but when contracting and grants comprise 75
percent of State's total budget, as they did in 2008, that is clearly no longer the case.
The privatization trend predates the Bush Administration and is in part an appropriate response to globalization's
possibilities and more generally the changing nature of American power. But during the last eight years, laissez-faire
outsourcing to execute two ambitious wars carried the day, and oversight and management were often outsourced as
well as implementation. Today, the State Department and especially USAID are dependent on contractors, and
outsourcing, in turn, has remade the work environment for federal employees. Negative consequences are a private
sector that has been granted power without responsibility, a diminished and overtaxed DSS, a demoralized USAID, and
looming catastrophe in Iraq and Afghanistan, where reconstruction money first flowed into everyone's pockets except
those of ordinary citizens.
What is to be done? Smart-sourcing, not in-sourcing
To align our practices with our interests, the centrality of outsourcing to the contemporary business of government must
be properly acknowledged. America's allies today include a range of non-governmental actors, both for-profit and nonprofit, who are recipients of taxpayer dollars. While policy was once something that government devised (the "what")
and contractors executed (the "how"), that is no longer the case in the information age. Especially in the development
realm, success or failure today turns on the how of US strategy, which effectively places a web of non-governmental
personnel in key policy-making positions. Since both development and democracy demand the engagement and
employment of local populations, turning the clock back and bringing whatever possible back in house would therefore
be a cure worse than the disease. We don't need a new prescription for our glasses; we need a new eye chart.
A smart-sourcing approach defines the "how" of policy as a strategic issue and proceeds on two fronts simultaneously.
First, smart-sourcing means building capacity for managing what OMB's July guidelines on contracting call the multisector workforce. State Department contracting, programming, and information technology functions must be
redefined as collaborative ventures, so that State might more effectively orchestrate mission-oriented networks across
the public-private divide. Second, smart-sourcing involves identifying tasks that should never have been outsourced and
bringing those back in-house. It may be easiest to in-source according to political expediency, but that temptation must
be avoided. Clear guidelines for the limits of outsourcing must be delineated so that strategic rather than ad hoc choices
can be made. Both reforms have the virtue of directly advancing objectives outlined in OMB Director Peter Orszag's
July memoranda.
More specifically, a State Department committed to smart-sourcing should:
Support and promote OMB efforts to improve contracts and grants data quality, as well as the further
development of USA spending.gov to include subcontracts and subgrants. Transparency and accountability are the
critical values in a smart-sourcing orientation, and our anti-corruption efforts abroad will have enhanced credibility
when we are perceived to be upholding the same values at home.
Restructure USAID so that it has the capacity to manage its contracts as well as write checks. Capacity involves
more than FTE counts. State needs to recruit, train, and retain a workforce of twenty-first century network managers
who can ensure quality work at all stages of a given project.
Rebuild DSS so that State can phase out reliance on armed contractors in war zones. Our current practices blur the
line between the legitimate and illegitimate use of force, which is just what terrorists want.
Craft contracts that employ the foreigners we are trying to help. Sustainable development follows from the
bottom-up engagement of local populations, not top-down advice from US experts. A sense of local ownership is often
best fostered by foreign nationals written into contracts and grants rather than being directly employed by the USG.
Consider the lessons of the MCC and the expanded contributions of the NGO community in charting USAID's
future. Both devolve decision-making to the local level and involve a less prominent USG footprint. If organizations like
the Clinton Global Initiative and the Gates Foundation advance American interests more effectively than traditional
direct government intervention, overseas direct investment may be a dated policy instrument.
Follow the money and identify DOD reconstruction contracts that rightfully belonged in State's domain to bolster
the already compelling argument for greater civilian resources. There can be no smart power without smart-sourcing.
Bottom line: The information revolution has rendered big government vs. small government debates beside the point.
To paraphrase President Obama's inaugural address, we don't need a big State Department or a small State Department
but a State Department that works. A smart-sourcing approach to reform will strengthen the operational link between
policy and resources, enabling State to exploit all the networks at its disposal in ways that advance the interests of the
United States. Nothing could be more strategic.
[1] USAID's problematic accounting practices are currently on full public display at USAspending.gov. No data on grants
is provided for FY2000-2006.
[2] Data quality appears extremely variable, especially for USAID, but for general trends, it can suffice. I use 2008
numbers for the comparison, since 2009 aggregate numbers are still a moving target.

We are sad to be spreading the news of the passing of Marion Sinek, beloved mother, grandmother, and
friend, and tireless public servant. She believed in the dignity of each human being, respect for all, social justice, and
family.
The following text is the formal announcement of her passing:
Marion Sinek passed away peacefully on August 17, 2009 at age 78 after a long illness. She was born in
Berlin, Germany, and came to the US just before the beginning of WWII. She graduated from Forest Hills High School
and Syracuse University on a full scholarship. After graduate work at the London School of Economics, she worked for
Radio Free Europe and the UN Association-USA in NY. Marion became very active in public affairs, serving in various
roles for the League of Women voters, including President of the LWV of NY State. She later ran for office, serving for
eight years as a Town Board member in New Castle before becoming its Supervisor from 2000 to 2004. She later
worked with Sen. Hillary Clinton's office on election law issues, and remained active in Democratic politics and other
organizations. She served on the Compensation Advisory Panel to the Westchester County Board of Legislators, and
served on the boards of The Chappaqua Orchestra and the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center. She lived in
Chappaqua for almost 38 years. She was predeceased by her husband Herbert; she is survived by her children Ron and
Nicole (Arnaboldi), their spouses Jennifer and Leo, and seven grandchildren. Burial will be private. A memorial will be
held in September. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center.
We know you join us in mourning the passing of a wonderful human being.

Burns,
We missed our calling.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DELOITTE & TOUCHE TOPS BUSINESSWEEK'S ANNUAL LIST OF

"BEST PLACES TO LAUNCH A CAREER"
New York, New York, September 3, 2009 The big four accounting firms once again dominate BusinessWeek's
fourth annual ranking of the "Best Places to Launch a Career." Deloitte & Touche jumped to the No.1 spot, unseating
Ernst & Young who ranked No.2. PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG took the third and fourth spot, respectively.
With rich benefits, extensive training programs, and a combined recruiting effort that makes more than 10,000
hires even in a tough year, the Big Four are hard to beat, and Deloitte is harder than most. With substantially higher
pay-18% of Deloitte's entry-level hires this year will earn north of $65,000plus the industry's biggest signing bonuses
and most generous time-off policy, it's no wonder Deloitte is a favorite of students and career services directors. It
doesn't hurt that Deloitte's entry-level hiring took the smallest hit this year, down just 1.1% in the first half compared
with double-digit drops for No.2 Ernst & Young and No.4 KPMG.
To compile this ranking, BusinessWeek polled 60 college career services directors across the country; collected
data from a survey of 60,000 U.S. undergrads by Universum USA, a Philadelphia research company; and required
employers to submit statistics on everything from pay and benefits to training programs and retention. The number of
ranked employers is down sharply this year, owing to our decision to raise the bar on eligibility. And the tougher
competitioncombined with a handful of new employers and shifts in sentiment among students and career services
directorsresulted in a shakeup in the standings.
Some companies, including No.11 Accenture and No.19 Prudential moved up more than 35 spots, while No.34
Marriott and No.48 Lockheed Martin were down 28 and 40 spots, respectively. Even the top 10 underwent big changes
this year. Marriott and Lockheed were out, as was Google, which declined to participate. But three new employers
entered the winner's circle. The State Dept. and Teach For America, which places college grads in troubled school
districts, are both in the midst of ramped-up recruiting campaigns, while J.P. Morgan, a unit ofJPMorgan Chase, reaped
a survivor's benefit: It's one of the few big investment banks left standing.
BusinessWeek's "Best Places to Launch a Career" ranking is in the September 14, 2009 issue, on newsstands
September 4th. Expanded content is available on BusinessWeek.com, including the full methodology, profiles of each
employer, an interactive table, slide shows, and a video roundtable with recruiters.

Congresswoman's son-in-law dies snorkeling
August 12, 2009 4:29 PM I UPDATED STORY
The son-in-law of U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-III.) died Sunday in a snorkeling accident as he vacationed in Mexico with
his family, her office and family said.
Michael McLaughlin, 38, was with Schakowsky and other family members near Tulum, Mexico, at the beginning of a
week long vacation, Schakowsky's husband Robert Creamer said.
McLaughlin was married to Lauren, 35, who is the daughter of Schakowsky's husband and his previous wife Day Piercy,
who lives in New York.
McLaughlin was a filmmaker and editor who lived with his wife in Queens, N.Y.
Creamer said he and other family members were in their hotel near Solinon Bay when another guest with binoculars
told them there appeared to be a problem with McLaughlin, who was snorkeling in the bay about 7 miles north of
Tul urn.
Creamer was the first to reach McLaughlin in a kayak. He said he found his son-in-law face down in the water, and called
out to him but got no response. Creamer said he got closer, turned his son-in-law over and realized he was in trouble. He
administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and put a life vest on him, Creamer said.
"I yelled at him and poked at him and got no response, so I turned him over and it was clear he wasn't breathing," said
Creamer.
McLaughlin's wife then showed up along with Schakowsky and others in more kayaks to help put McLaughlin on a kayak
in the nearly 7-feet of water. Others also arrived in more kayaks to assist and pulled the craft carrying McLaughlin onto
the beach where they continued to try to revive him unsuccessfully.
McLaughlin was pronounced dead at a local hospital a short time later, Creamer said.
In a phone interview from Mexico, Creamer said McLaughlin was an experienced snorkeler and diver who liked to
snorkel alone, a coroner's report said he had aspirated in his mask and died of asphyxiation, he said.
McLaughlin was cremated, following his own request, Creamer said.
Creamer described himself as heartbroken and praised his son-in-law and the 7-year marriage to his daughter. The
couple had planned to adopt their first child in September.
"Michael was one of the most loving and creative people I've ever met.... and he and my daughter Lauren had one of
the most loving marriages I have ever seen," Creamer said.
In 2005 Schakowsky's daughter-in-law Fiona died of cancer. She had been married to Schakowsky's son Ian.
Born Oct. 26, 1970, in Berkeley, Calif., McLaughlin was the oldest of three children and grew up in "the shadow of Mount
Tamalpais, in Mann County," according to Creamer.
As a young man, McLaughlin was known for his love for the outdoors as his dinner table quips that entertained his
family. As a young adult, he attended Sarah Lawrence College where he studied theater and moved with a friend to New
York City, following college.
His family said McLaughlin never lost his zest for adventure, regularly white water rafting, skydiving, backpacking and
studying Karate.
McLaughlin later moved to San Francisco, where he met his wife Lauren and married her in July 2002. During their
marriage, McLaughlin helped his wife start her own business and she helped him pursue his film career as a filmmaker,
his family said.
During McLaughlin's career he worked in live theater, puppetry and short fiction. His short film "Shadow Puppets of
Doom" was shown in film festivals and won the "Best Screenplay" award in the Mann County Film Festival, his family
said. At the time of his death he was filming a pilot reality television show.
McLaughlin is survived by his wife, Lauren Creamer McLaughlin, his mother, Rohana, his sister, Halima, and his brother,
Marlin.

Dear Melanne,

The US Ambassador to UNESCO is launching a fierce, ferocious, unfair campaign against the Egyptian candidate to
UNESCO Minister Farouk Hosni.
If Washington does not want him for whatever reasons this is acceptable as their choice, but we think the US, with
its principles and weight, should be a fair partner and an objective leader.
People here are surprised at the position of the US Ambassador. They say "We want to feel that change is not just a
Motto but starts a new era in our relationship"
Hosni is an open-minded person who respects all religions. He is accused of being Anti-Jewish. That is not true. The
allegation is based on a quote out of context. He is translating Hebrew literature, restored Synagogues and is
establishing a Jewish Museum. He rescued the torah scrolls and has the symbols of the three religions appear together
in Video Clips, Pictures and documentaries about Egypt.
For these, and similar reasons, the fundamental Terrorists are against him and are the ones working hard to block his
election.
Who wants to be with them in the same basket!!!!

Still working this through, but here is where we are thus far:
The majority of all countries that have direct presidential elections use a Two-Round system. The number appears to be
at least 58.
France, most Latin American countries, all five post-Soviet Central Asian republics, and many countries in francophone
Africa use TRS to elect their presidents. Elsewhere in Africa the system is used by Angola, Cape Verde, Gambia, Ghana,
Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, the Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Sudan,
Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe; in Europe, apart from France, it is used by Armenia, Azerbaijan, Austria, Belarus,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Finland, Georgia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia
and Ukraine; and it is found in Afghanistan, Haiti, Indonesia, Iran, Timor-Leste and Yemen.

Hi Burns,
I received the email below from Lyn Lusi, a highly trained and experienced program administrator with HEAL Africa
(Congo). I tried to line her up to be a speaker at the Global Summit that Hillary attended, but we were unable to book
her due to scheduling issues. She's not some random, run-of-the-mill aid worker; she's really, really special, having set
up the fistula hospital and teaching hospital in Goma with her husband, Dr. Jo Lusi. Lyn sent me this email and requested
I "do what I can" to encourage Hillary to empower the indigenous physicians and trained personnel in this hospital
rather than bring in outside partners to start something new.
Blessings to you,
Kay
From: Lyn Lusi [mailto:
Posted At: Sunday, August 16, 2009 3:21 AM Posted To: Kay Warren
Conversation: Suggested letter for follow up to Mrs Clinton's visit to HEAL Africa
Subject: Suggested letter for follow up to Mrs Clinton's visit to HEAL Africa
This is Lyn Lusi writing to you from HEAL Africa in Goma and your address comes from the business card you left me
when you visited us. 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

SUGGESTED LETTER
Secretary of State Mrs Hillary Clinton

2201 C Street NW
Goma, 11th August 2009
Dear Mrs Clinton,
If We ..... followed with interest reports of your visit to Goma on 11th August 2009, where you convened a meeting of
Congolese actors in the fight against Gender Based Violence at HEAL Africa training center. The commitment of the
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
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. The second floor of this building will be entirely devoted to women's fistula services;
and the whole hospital is devoted to teaching and preparing Congolese doctors to give excellent service in the most
underserved areas of Congo.
Many visitors from the US Embassy in Kinshasa, from USAID in Washington and Nairobi, the Secretary General of the
United Nations Mr Ban Ki Moon, Ms Rice from the Security Council, US senators and deputies, and a great number of
aides from your government have visited HEAL Africa and have come away enchanted by a hospital of excellence run
entirely by Congolese staff of the highest caliber. They are hoping that, through your visit, you will be able to advocate
for the physical plant that will enable them to serve their patients even better than before, and train the next generation
of doctors in an environment where it is possible to practice excellent medicine.
We remain, respectfully,
Yours sincerely,

U.N. asks Afghanistan to lift election media ban

KABUL, Aug 19 (Reuters) - The United Nations has asked Afghanistan to lift a last-minute ban on media reporting of
violence during Thursday's presidential election, saying the Afghan constitution guaranteed a free press. 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.

The Secretary's Call Sheet for
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari
Purpose of Call: To express your condolences regarding the deaths of Iraqi MFA personnel in the August 19 attack on
the Iraqi Foreign Ministry.
want to personally express my heartfelt condolences to you for the savage attack on the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign
Affairs today and for the tragic loss of so many Iraqi lives around Baghdad and particularly at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.
El I remember fondly our meeting at the MFA in April I was proud to be the first senior U.S. official to attend a meeting
there, and I was deeply saddened to hear that your Ministry was attacked.
CI This is a trying day for Iraqis and the Government of Iraq, but brutal attacks like these only deepen the need for
dedicated Iraqi like you and those in your Ministry, to remain committed to the new Iraq.
0 Know that the United States will continue to stand by Iraq as it faces these challenges.
Background: On Wednesday, August 19, what appears to be a series of VBIED and additional rocket attacks in Baghdad
resulted in the bloodiest day in Baghdad since the June 30 withdrawal of U.S. forces from urban areas. Although exact
numbers have not been confirmed, media is reporting that approximately 75 people were killed across Baghdad with
over 100 injuries. The most devastating attack appears to have been against the Iraqi MFA, where a VBIED was
exploded in front of the main gate. Zebari's Chief of Staff estimated that there were 35-40 fatalities and up to 40
injuries resulting from this attack, with 70% of the building damaged. In April, you were the first senior U.S. official to
hold a meeting at the MFA. Deputy Foreign Minister Labid Abbawi, who attended your meeting at the MFA and who's
wife led your meeting with Iraqi war widows, was reportedly slightly injured and quite shaken by the attack. He may
have lost a number of staff members. At this point, we do not know if other senior-ranking MFA officials were killed or
wounded in the attack.

We have a Congressional issue that is moving a bit too slowly through the building that you should know about. Rep.
Steve Rothman (D-111) and Senator Lautenberg have contacted us alarmed by the news that Qaddafi will come to UNGA
and allegedly overnight at the residence of the Libyan PermRep in Englewood. 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. An action memo for Jim to consider on how to deal with Qaddafi's visit is in the works, but I fear Rothman will
head for the microphones before Jim gets the memo.

Cheryl,
We spoke with 10, EEB, and Amb. Cousin after the meeting today and came up with the following revision to S's call
points. We decided the best language would be for the Secretary to say that if UNSYG cannot co-host, that she would
welcome the participation of his representative. The important point here is that we do not want the FAO head
Jacques Diouf to end-up co-hosting the UNGA event, and everyone agreed there was a danger Ban ki-Moon would
suggest he do so. In the background at the bottom I included a point stressing that we do not want Diouf to co-host.
Thanks,
Marisa

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.

Beihl called me from the plane just before departure. De facto negotiating team will return to DC Wednesday for
several days talks. While ministers were discouraged by de factor regime intransigence, Beihl said that Zelaya had also
lost some support. He said that all the ministers were shocked by Zelaya's behavior in a telephone conference call just
before their press conference this afternoon. Zelaya spoke of people dying by hundreds, being thrown in jail and
tortured. Zelaya appeared to be very out-of-touch, Beihl said. He added that "even" the Argentine FM was questioning
whether Z's return was the correct course. Beihl said that while a democratic solution was needed, perhaps Zelaya was
not the right option. I again expressed our position that the problem was not who replaced Zelaya, but that he was
removed unconstitutionally.
News conference was straightforward. Only one minister spoke (I don't know them by face), said that the solution was
return to democratic order and the regime not prepared to accept Si. I haven't got hold of transcript yet, will do so
asap.
Beihl again expressed thanks for our move on visas (as well as our logistical support), saying that all the ministers
thought it a good move.

Torture on homefront cries out for justice
Comments <http://www.suntimes.com/news/marin/1734591,CST-EDT-caro126.article>
August 26, 2009
BY CAROL MARIN <mailto:cmarin@suntimes.com > Sun-Times Columnist
The feds can't -- just yet -- deport Michigan restaurateur Ibrahim Parlak to his native Turkey. But they are frighteningly
closer.
And the irony screams out.
Carol Mann
On Monday, the same day Eric Holder, President Obama's attorney general, announced he would appoint a special
counsel to investigate whether torture was used by the CIA to extract confessions from foreign suspects, a U.S. appeals
court at the behest of the U.S. government ruled that it didn't have a problem sending Parlak back to the country where
he was tortured -- imprisoned for 17 months, shocked with electrodes, hung by his arms and sexually violated.
A Turkish Kurd, Parlak was granted political asylum in 1992. It was before our government got cozier with Turkey, before
it re-classified some of the Kurdish separatist movement as "terrorist" and before the attacks of Sept. 11. With 9/11,
Ibrahim Parlak's horror began anew.
Suddenly he looked different to the newly created Department of Homeland Security and to the Justice Department's
Immigration courts. Instead of seeing a hard-working, tax-paying Chamber of Commerce member who ran Cafe Gulistan,
a small Middle Eastern restaurant in the resort town of Harbert, Mich., tlie feds now saw an international menace.
In 2004, the FBI grabbed Parlak and locked him up.
If it hadn't been for a volunteer team of lawyers, including a Reagan-appointed former U.S. attorney, a former FBI antiterrorism legal adviser and the bipartisan intervention of Michigan's Sen. Carl Levin, a liberal Democrat, and Rep. Fred
Upton, a conservative Republican, Parlak would still be in jail.
Thanks to them, this 47-year-old father of a 12-year-old girl is temporarily free. But just barely.
The newest outrage is the 2-1 decision issued by Cincinnati's 6th Circuit Court of Appeals on the same day Holder
launched his torture inquiry.
The majority opinion was issued by two Bush appointees put on the bench after 9/11. Judge Julia Smith Gibbons and
Judge Jeffrey Sutton upheld the Justice Department's Immigration courts ruling that Parlak failed to disclose his
relationship to the now-labeled terrorist organization even though he was never proven to be a member.
Let's remember something about our immigration courts. They are not independent. They work for whoever is the
attorney general. And the past rulings against Parlak came under two now-controversial Bush appointees, John Ashcroft
and Alberto Gonzales.
The fairness of immigration rulings has been ripped by none other than Judge Richard Posner of the 7th Circuit Court of
Appeals, one of the nation's most brilliant judges. By September of 2005, Posner noted "a staggering 40 percent of the
136 petitions" had been reversed due to, according to one ruling, a willingness to ignore "the most basic of facts."
Echoing Posner now is the dissenting judge on the Parlak appeal. Judge Boyce F. Martin, a Carter appointee, writes with
both clarity and conviction, arguing the government's "awesome power was used here to railroad a man out of our
country."
Like a surgeon, Martin dissects the Justice Department's immigration courts and the majority opinion of his own
colleagues, and ends by saying, "I remain hopeful, nevertheless, that this case is but a sad remnant of an era of paranoid,
overzealous, error-riddled and misguided anti-terrorism and immigration enforcement that has now gone by the
wayside. It is just a shame that, even if my hope proves true, it is too late for Ibrahim Parlak."
Parlak's legal team will appeal.
Meanwhile, Holder, like Ashcroft and Gonzales before him, is the new boss of the immigration courts.
As he investigates questions of U.S. torture abroad, here's hoping Holder examines the ongoing domestic legal torture of
Ibrahim Parlak.

Torture on homefront cries out for justice
Comments <http://www.suntimes.com/news/marin/1734591,CST-EDT-caro126.article>
August 26, 2009
BY CAROL MARIN <mailto:cmarin@suntimes.com> Sun-Times Columnist
The feds can't -- just yet -- deport Michigan restaurateur Ibrahim Parlak to his native Turkey. But they are frighteningly
closer.
And the irony screams out.
Carol Mann
On Monday, the same day Eric Holder, President Obama's attorney general, announced he would appoint a special
counsel to investigate whether torture was used by the CIA to extract confessions from foreign suspects, a U.S. appeals
court at the behest of the U.S. government ruled that it didn't have a problem sending Parlak back to the country where
he was tortured -- imprisoned for 17 months, shocked with electrodes, hung by his arms and sexually violated.
A Turkish Kurd, Parlak was granted political asylum in 1992. It was before our government got cozier with Turkey, before
it re-classified some of the Kurdish separatist movement as "terrorist" and before the attacks of Sept. 11. With 9/11,
Ibrahim Parlak's horror began anew.
Suddenly he looked different to the newly created Department of Homeland Security and to the Justice Department's
Immigration courts. Instead of seeing a hard-working, tax-paying Chamber of Commerce member who ran Cafe Gulistan,
a small Middle Eastern restaurant in the resort town of Harbert, Mich., the feds now saw an international menace.
In 2004, the FBI grabbed Parlak and locked him up.
If it hadn't been for a volunteer team of lawyers, including a Reagan-appointed former U.S. attorney, a former FBI antiterrorism legal adviser and the bipartisan intervention of Michigan's Sen. Carl Levin, a liberal Democrat, and Rep. Fred
Upton, a conservative Republican, Parlak would still be in jail.
Thanks to them, this 47-year-old father of a 12-year-old girl is temporarily free. But just barely.
The newest outrage is the 2-1 decision issued by Cincinnati's 6th Circuit Court of Appeals on the same day Holder
launched his torture inquiry.
The majority opinion was issued by two Bush appointees put on the bench after 9/11. Judge Julia Smith Gibbons and
Judge Jeffrey Sutton upheld the Justice Department's Immigration courts ruling that Parlak failed to disclose his
relationship to the now-labeled terrorist organization even though he was never proven to be a member.
Let's remember something about our immigration courts. They are not independent. They work for whoever is the
attorney general. And the past rulings against Parlak came under two now-controversial Bush appointees, John Ashcroft
and Alberto Gonzales.
The fairness of immigration rulings has been ripped by none other than Judge Richard Posner of the 7th Circuit Court of
Appeals, one of the nation's most brilliant judges. By September of 2005, Posner noted "a staggering 40 percent of the
136 petitions" had been reversed due to, according to one ruling, a willingness to ignore "the most basic of facts."
Echoing Posner now is the dissenting judge on the Parlak appeal. Judge Boyce F. Martin, a Carter appointee, writes with
both clarity and conviction, arguing the government's "awesome power was used here to railroad a man out of our
country."
Like a surgeon, Martin dissects the Justice Department's immigration courts and the majority opinion of his own
colleagues, and ends by saying, "I remain hopeful, nevertheless, that this case is but a sad remnant of an era of paranoid,
overzealous, error-riddled and misguided anti-terrorism and immigration enforcement that has now gone by the
wayside. It is just a shame that, even if my hope proves true, it is too late for Ibrahim Parlak."
Parlak's legal team will appeal.
Meanwhile, Holder, like Ashcroft and Gonzales before him, is the new boss of the immigration courts.
As he investigates questions of U.S. torture abroad, here's hoping Holder examines the ongoing domestic legal torture of
Ibrahim Parlak.

Gentlemen,
Before the end of the day I will send you the latest working version of Jack's trip to IIAP&B. We depart here late
Tuesday, Sept 1 and return Thurs, Sept 10.
Rough version of places and people is:
Sept 2-3
Iraq
Lew, Verma, Campbell, Elisa Slotkin (NEA), possibly Paul Jones (SRAP) and/or David Robinson (PRM)
Sept 4-5
India
Lew, Verma, Campbell, Paul Jones and Sean Misko (SRAP), possibly David Robinson (PRM)
Sept 6-7
Pakistan
Sept 8-9
Afghanistan
Hooking up with Acting AID Administration Alonzo Fulgham for a portion of the trip
Sept 10
Brussels (am)
Washington (pm)
As discussed very briefly with PJ and Ian this am., Jack floated the idea of having a journalist accompany us.
Alternatively, we are very focused on both international and local journalists, esp in India and Af/Pak.
Not planning to do media in Iraq or Brussels.
Very open to doing something in advance of trip (though hard to squeeze in Mon/Tues) and upon return.

POTUS Asia Travel
Bill said he will be meeting with his Indonesian counterpart today to discuss.
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
La uten berg.
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
Harold Koh raised the memo to the Secretary on Honduras; it was decided to discuss it in a separate meeting.
ICC
Harold also noted the issue of
D(L) Travel
Piper said Jack Lew will return to the office Monday and depart on travel Tuesday afternoon, returning Sept 10.
Cheryl noted that the Secretary would like to convene a conference call with him on Monday.
Bela rus at UNGA
Jake noted the issue of whether to invite Belarus to the President's reception at UNGA; the consensus was that he
should do so.
Public Affairs
Ian Kelly said PA anticipates questions on Honduras, upcoming Mitchell meetings, and the possibility of a Bosworth
trip at today's briefing. PJ Crowley noted European press reporting of comments by former UK FS Jack Straw that the
British had not provided assurances to us in the 90's that the convicted Lockerbie bomber would serve out his full
sentence in Scotland.
Pakistan
The story on Pakistan proliferation may come out over the weekend.

Libyan Reps tell Rothman Quaddafi not coming to Englewood
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, August 28, 2009 4:04 pm EST
Contact: Bob Decheine (202) 550-7869
Washington, D.C. based representatives of the Libyan government have informed Congressman Steve Rothman (D-NJ)
that Col. Moammar Quaddafi, will not be staying in Englewood, New Jersey if he comes to the United States for the
meeting of the United Nations General Assembly next month. This information has not yet been confirmed by the
White House or the State Department.
"I am very pleased that Moammar Quaddafi will apparently not be coming to Englewood. His appearance would have
presented unnecessary safety and security issues for the residents of Englewood and the Libyan diplomats," said
Rothman. I want to thank President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the literally dozens of their
appointees I have had the pleasure to work so closely with over the past seven days in achieving this result. I also want
to thank the Libyan government for their hard work and consideration in resolving this matter in such a positive
fashion."

The Department of State has consulted with the Government of Libya regarding the impending visit of
Libyan President Muammar Qadhafi to
attend the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York.

INTERNAL DELIBERATIVE
Dear All,
After this morning's meeting, L undertook more research
Millennium Challenge Report
The Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 requires the submission of a report to Congress and publication in the Federal
Register of a list of countries that are candidate countries for MCC assistance, and countries that would be candidate
countries but for "specified legal prohibitions on assistance." 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.
Department Legal Practice
I am travelling in New England this weekend but am available at

or through the ops center if you wish to
discuss. I will be back by the 8:45am meeting on Monday morning and can elaborate further then.
Section 7008 of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2009 (Div. H,
P.L. 111-8) provides:
"None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available pursuant to titles III through VI of this Act shall be
obligated or expended to finance directly any assistance to the government of any country whose duly elected head of
government is deposed by military coup or decree: Provided, That assistance may be resumed to such government if the
President determined and certifies to the Committees on Appropriations that subsequent to the termination of
assistance a democratically elected government has taken office: Provided further, That the provisions of this section
shall not apply to assistance to promote democratic elections or public participation in democratic processes: Provided
further, That funds made available pursuant to the previous provisos shall be subject to the regular notification
procedures of the Committees on Appropriations."

Millennium Challenge Report
The Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 requires the submission of a report to Congress and publication in the Federal
Register of a list of countries that are candidate countries for MCC assistance, and countries that would be candidate
countries but for "specified legal prohibitions on assistance." 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

Subject: (Nytimes) U.S. Accuses Pakistan of Altering Missiles
WASHINGTON The United States has accused Pakistan of illegally modifying American-made missiles to expand its
capability to strike land targets, a potential threat to India, according to senior administration and Congressional
officials.
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.
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 1980s, 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 ship-to-shore missile that Pakistan was testing was part of a concerted
effort to develop an 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 oldermodel 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 All 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.
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.
"There have been irritants in the U.S.-Pakistan relationship in the past and there will be in the future," Mr. Jones said in
a statement, noting that the pending legislation would provide President Obama "with new tools to address troubling
behavior."

Problem is, we need to get the statement out tomorrow (Aug 31), so that "six weeks" falls on Oct 12 before the soccer
match. Even in best of worlds this will require further haggling with other side over next 24 hours, so I fear if she
doesn't call til afternoon on 31st (Turkey/Armenia time) we won't get it done.
If she really can't do it today would suggest Jim do so (could blame Kennedy funeral) because we need to try this today.

For the Davutoglu call, here is a copy of the text the Turks (Davutoglu) have agreed to release tomorrow, if the
Armenians agree. And as noted in the call sheet, they will only agree if Turkey agrees on a date in advance of Oct. 14 for
the signature of the documents. Let me know if any questions.

We've sent word that she's going to call (I think Davu is in Slovenia but should be available). I think we've got
agreement on the text after another word change or two, and Davu will know that the key issue is agreeing on a date for
a signing and submission to parliaments. We've told the Turks that it "should be" in early October. They will push back,
and if they agree to a date at all it will probably be Oct 12. That will be much harder to sell to other side, but our
minimum need is a date at least by then. Thanks.

Hi! Hope you all are getting some R&R as the summer wanes.
Your Africa trip has generated a lot of visibility and momentum on women's issues. I wanted to follow up on an idea we
discussed, when we met a few months ago, for raising the profile of women's issues and creating a unique platform for
you in the U.S.
You may recall that Melanne and I were developing ideas for holding events to connect people working on women's
issues around the world, and to raise the visibility of the issues in the US.
Whitney Williams has joined us to flesh out a vision for a series of conferences that would bring together policymakers
and experts from the field with women you have met around the world - and people at the grassroots level in this
country.
Each conference would be followed by a special event featuring musical, cultural and culinary celebrities (yep, celebrity
chefs) from the U.S. and other countries to generate visibility online and in the entertainment media, which would reach
a lot more people than the policy conference alone.
These events would create connections among people who often work in isolation, and generate ideas for improving
policies and practices. They'd also inspire and engage a whole new generation to get involved in global women's issues.
This approach bringing together policy, grassroots and entertainment aspects isn't being done by anyone else in the
development space. It would be a great way to raise the visibility of the issues, and your work on them, here at home.
We could put on several over the next year, with one on the 15th Anniversary of your UN speech in Beijing.
If you're interested, we'd like the chance to meet with you all to discuss it. (Perhaps we could get together when
everyone is in town for Capricia's swearing-in.) Would you like to do that?

Speech Draft
I'm faxing you a draft of the speech. It is way too long and something of a hybrid, having started out as a big
policy speech in advance of the summit. Now it is a town hall one day before the POTUS outlines his agenda at
the intervention. My suggestion is that you review this long draft, which covers a lot of ground (though not
everything). In the meantime, I'll work on an abbreviated version that focuses on your main themes -- the
urgency of our working together with other countries to narrow the income gap and reduce poverty by creating
a safety net of education, food security, and public safety that unleashes the full potential of the people and
nations of our Hemisphere.

Dear Dave,
Several people have revisited an idea I know you have heard before that ISAF, the UN, and the U.S. Mission buy some
of their food on the local economy. This would:
provide a source of rapid income to farmers;
reduce somewhat the amount of resupply convoys;
I have asked MG Field to look into this. I know that there are health and security issues, but perhaps there are ways to
deal with them on a local basis. Richard Holbrooke

Subject: RN: HRC re Jones
Cheryl,
HRC called me understandably upset with the section of this NYT story regarding General Jones:
http:fiwww.nvtimes.com/2009/05/02/world/02clinton.html? r=1&hpw=&pagewanted=orint
She made it clear that this in no way reflects her feelings or anything she thinks about him, let alone anyone "in her
circle" would say. She wanted me to make that clear to the reporter. I just spoke to Mark Landler, told him on the
record (which I reiterated below via email) that Secretary Clinton holds General Jones in the highest regard, she has
nothing but the highest praise for him, and that I was more than happy to put her on the phone to make herself clear on
this point since they did not speak about their relationship during her lengthy interview for the story. I especially
made the point that identifying this person as someone "in her circle" was incredibly misleading. Someone in her circle
is someone like you, or a Jake, or me. And none of us would ever say anything like that. Someone who was slated for
a position at State irrespective of the choice of HRC as Secretary should not be allowed to be identified that way. Mark
conceded that point and let me know he will be changing the sourcing to read, "But State Department officials, and
others in the administration..." It's a small consolation, but I think a very important one.
I just spoke to Sarah Farnsworth to share the above, and told her we stand ready to help any other way we can to
debunk this falsehood. If you hear from Denis or anyone else at the White House, please let me know if there is
something else they'd like us to do, and I will.
Philippe
From: Reines, Philippe I (PACE)

To: (U)landler
Subject: HRC re Jones
Mark
Just to reiterate what I said on the phone, Secretary Clinton holds General Jones in the highest esteem and has nothing
but the most glowing things to say about him and his contribution to the Administration. Anyone asserting otherwise is
speaking for themselves, and not the Secretary.

message to us in advance of the test, which blamed the UNSC's "failure to
apologize for its Presidential Statement," demonstrates the degree to which
the DPRK has isolated itself. Now is the right time for a Five-Party meeting
to demonstrate our unity.
It is essential that the UN Security Council take strong measures to clearly
demonstrate that the DPRK's actions will have consequences. The United
States believes that it is essential that the Security Council issue a swift
statement condemning the DPRK's test at its initial May 25 emergency
meeting. The UNSC should then quickly follow up with a strong new
Chapter 7 Resolution that includes concrete response measures.
[FOR TOKYO AND SEOUL] The United States remains committed to the
nuclear umbrella and its obligations under the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Mutual
Cooperation and Security and the U.S.-ROK Mutual Defense Treaty.

B6
Purpose: To reach out to Japan, South Korea, China and Russia following the probable May 24 DPRK nuclear test.
A nuclear test by North Korea, if confirmed, would be a provocative act and an unequivocal violation of UNSCR
1718, blatantly disregarding the will of the international community.
We have remained united in the face of the DPRK's provocations, and we need to maintain this unity among the
Six-Party partners. The DPRK's message to us in advance of the test, which blamed the UNSC's "failure to apologize for
its Presidential Statement," demonstrates the degree to which the DPRK has isolated itself. Now is the right time for a

Concept Paper for World Food Prize Remarks - Attached and Below (Drafted by Megan
Rooney)
world food prize concept note 060609.doc
Attachments:
June 6,2009 11:30am

Rooney (x7-7203,
This speech is an opportunity to signal the urgency of the problem of global hunger; connect it to an array of
global issues, including economic development, health and education, expanding opportunity for women, and
political stability; and declare the Administration's commitment to tackling hunger at its roots, through effective
and efficient collaboration with an array of partners.
Additionally, your remarks can point to a shift from past approaches by emphasizing the need to support local
solutions and focus on long-term sustainability to help people feed themselves and reduce the need for
emergency assistance down the road.
You can begin by announcing the winner of the 2009 World Food Prize, Dr. Gebisa Ejeta. He has a remarkable
story: born in a mud hut in Ethiopia, he got his PhD from Purdue University in plant breeding and genetics and
developed strains of sorghum that are drought-tolerant, high-yield, and resistant to the Striga weed, which
devastates crops across Africa.
Outside the lab, he helped start the Sudanese commercial seed industry; developed systems to produce, certify,
and market hybrid seeds; and educated farmers about the use of fertilizers and soil and water conservation. And
he has trained and inspired the next generation of African agricultural scientists.
Dr. Ejeta's work reflects the breadth of this issue and the comprehensive approach needed to address itone
that connects the labs where new seed technologies are developed.., the fields where small-scale farmers labor
to feed their families and make a living.., the markets where food is bought and sold... and the homes where
people get the nourishment they need to thrive.
In many places, that food chain is broken. One billion people worldwide woke up hungry this morning and will
go to sleep hungry tonight. Chronic hunger threatens health, while making it harder for people to work and
students to learn, which in turn stunts economic development. Last year's food riots demonstrated that when
food is scarce, political stability is threatened.
44
To date, the world's primary response to hunger has been to send emergency food aid. While this saves lives, it
is a short-term fix, and we need a long-term solution.
The Obama Administration is committed to leading in developing a new global approach. We will support the
creation of sustainable agricultural systems in appropriate regions around the world, to increase agricultural
productivity, create jobs, strengthen economies, and protect natural resources.
We will do this not by imposing one-size-fits-all solutions, but by assisting countries in carrying out individual
strategies that meet their needsfor example, through the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development
Plan. To facilitate coordination and share best practices, we will seek to convene donor governments,
multilateral institutions, NG0s, private companies, foundations, universities, and individuals.
We've identified seven anchors that secure sustainable agriculture systems. These will guide our approach.
Increase agricultural productivity by expanding access to quality seeds, fertilizer, irrigation, the credit to
purchase them, and the training to use them.
Stimulate the post-harvest sector by improving the storage and processing of food and improving
transportation to connect small farmers to markets.
Maintain natural resources so the land can be farmed well into the future and we can make the right
adaptations for the changing environment.
Expand knowledge and training by support R&D and developing the next generation of agriculture
scientists.
Increase trade so small-scale farmers in developing countries can sell their crops far and wide.
Support policy reform and good governance, because sustainable agriculture flourishes in a clear and
predictable policy and regulatory environment.
Support women and families in agriculture. Seventy percent of the world's farmers are women, but
most of the programs that offer credit and training to farmers target men. This must change for
agriculture to thrive. And children must have nutrition to contribute to their communities' future.
In the coming weeks, President Obama, Secretary Vilsack and I will be reaching out to share our approach to
global coordination and agriculture in greater detail. We will seek the input, wisdom and guidance of those who
have been working so long in this arenafrom the Congress to NGOs to academics to foundations to the
private sector. The President's conversations at the G-8 meeting in Italy in two weeks will address our
approach, as well as my trip to Africa in August.
Addressing hunger and food is essential to achieving economic recovery, stabilizing societies, and expanding
opportunity for hundreds of millions of people worldwide. This is why supporting sustainable agriculture
worldwide will be a central element of foreign policy in the Obama Administration.
CONCLUSION
You can circle back to the story of Dr. Ejeta to close. He represents the need for a multinational
approach: born in Ethiopia, educated in the United States, advised by Indian scientists, advisor to several
African nations.

Palau/Guantanamo Uighurs
To: Cheryl D Mills <millscdstate.gov>, abedinh@state.00v,
Was going to write earlier re Palau willingness to take the 17 Guantanamo Uighurs -- but see the
story has now broken. I am now representing Palau, primarily re extension of free association w/
the U.S. In touch w/Fried's office re Uighurs. Big commitment for Palau since Chinese tourism
was planned and its close geographically, etc. but their premium is on U.S. relations (as sadly
demonstrated by the loss of a Palauan in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan last week).
Also, just FYI now, I've been concerned that the Budget includes a far too low placeholder for
free association extension aid, $45-9 m over 10 years, although the aid is to be based on a joint
review of need that will really begin with a Palauan presentation Friday. (I think the number
didn't reflect any rethinking by this Administration). The U.S. is to respond in a month.

Why is Dennis Ross being ousted as Obama envoy to Iran?

By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent

Tags: Israel News, Dennis Ross
Dennis Ross, who most recently served as a special State Department envoy to Iran, will abruptly be relieved of his
duties, sources in Washington told Haaretz. An official announcement is expected in the coming days.
The Obama administration will announce that Ross has been reassigned to another position in the White House. In his
new post, the former Mideast peace envoy under President Bill Clinton will deal primarily with regional issues related to
the peace process.
Washington insiders speculate that a number of reasons moved the administration to reassign Ross. One possibility is
Iran's persistent refusal to accept Ross as a U.S. emissary given the diplomat's Jewish background as well as his
purported pro-Israel leanings. Ross is known to maintain contacts with numerous senior officials in Israel's defense
establishment and the Israeli government.

Diplomatic sources in Jerusalem surmised that another possibility for Ross' ouster is his just-released book, "Myths,
Illusions, and Peace - Finding a New Direction for America in the Middle East."
Ross, who co-wrote the book with David Makovsky, a former journalist who is a fellow at the Washington Institute for
Near East Policy, argued against a linkage between the Palestinian issue and the West's policy against Iran's nuclear
ambitions.
Ross and Mokovsky also raised the possibility of military action against Iran.
"Tougher policies - either militarily or meaningful containment - will be easier to sell internationally and domestically if
we have diplomatically tried to resolve our differences with Iran in a serious and credible fashion," they wrote.
Another possible reason for the reshuffle could be Ross' dissatisfaction with his present standing in the State
Department, particularly given the fact that Washington's two other envoys to the region - George Mitchell, who is
overseeing the Mideast peace process; and Richard Holbrooke, who is dealing with Pakistan and Afghanistan - wield
great influence and are featured prominently.
A diplomatic source in Jerusalem speculated that perhaps Ross preferred to work for the National Security Agency,
which answers directly to President Barack Obama, and would thus be considered a more enhanced role.
Last year, Ross was an advisor to Obama's successful presidential campaign. Before Obama's inauguration, speculation
was rampant as to which job Ross would assume in the new administration.
On February 24, 2009, he was officially appointed as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's advisor on the Persian Gulf and
special envoy to Iran.

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT OBAMA

AND PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI OF ITALY
IN PRESS AVAILABILITY
Oval Office
5:48 P.M. EDT
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good evening, everybody. Buona sera. I want to
welcome Prime Minister Berlusconi here. He has proved to be a great
friend of the United States. And he and I got to know each other at the
G20 summit. We are now in the process of planning the G8 summit that
Italy will be hosting. We emphasized the strong, historic ties between
the United States and Italy. Our bilateral relationship has been marked
by cooperation across the board. And I am extremely grateful for his
friendship.
129
Just a couple of things that we specifically discussed. First of

all, I thanked the Prime Minister for his support of our policy of closing
Guantanamo. This is not just talk. Italy has agreed to accept three
specific detainees, and has also been part of the leadership in Europe
that today announced a framework in which European nations can accept
detainees. And that was something that I was very appreciative of. It
will give us an opportunity to create a lasting and durable international
legal framework for dealing with terrorism that I think is very important
on both sides of the Atlantic.
We discussed Afghanistan and Pakistan, where Italy has been a
critical part of the coalition that is trying to assist Afghanistan in
stabilizing itself and ensuring that it's not a safe haven for
terrorism. We had an extensive discussion about my interest in pursuing
nonproliferation as an important agenda for all people. And given that
I'll be visiting Russia before I visit Italy for the G8, Prime Minister
Berlusconi, who has strong relationships with the Russians, was able to
offer some insight in terms of how to approach reductions in nuclear
arsenals. And that hopefully is going to be a topic at the G8 summit, as
well.
And in addition to discussing the general situation in the world
economy, which obviously will be a central topic of the G8, we also
discussed specifically the issue of food security and how G8 nations can
assist people who are in most desperate poverty to ensure that they're not
slipping into hunger and further poverty. And that is going to be a major
topic of the G8 summit. And so I'm very appreciative of the leadership
that Prime Minister Berlusconi has shown on that front.
So overall I am very grateful to Prime Minister Berlusconi's
leadership, his consistent friendship towards the United States. We have
some of the strongest bilateral relations in the world. I am confident
that that will continue as long as both of us are occupying our positions.
And so thank you very much for taking the time to visit.
PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: (As translated.) First of all, I would
like to thank President Obama for his welcome and for the possibility
offered us to provide our perspective, our opinions on many of the most
difficult and hardest issues at the international level. And we've
discussed, as he already briefed you, many of the issues and the topics,
and we went through in a detailed manner the three days of the G8
summit. We want this G8 to reach concrete solutions. And we want to
reach concrete solutions on many extremely important issues.
Clearly, the first issue is the world economy, the economic crisis
and how to get out of this crisis. And we also discussed the work that
our ministers of economy are carrying out right now to try and develop a
body of principles and to prevent similar situations from happening,
similar situations to the one we are experiencing right now.
130
We both agreed on the fact that the G8 will certainly not be able to
produce this body of rules, but this is going to be just one of the steps
leading to that drafting of rules. There will be then the G20 summit in
Pittsburgh, which will work on it, but the hope is to finally reach a body
of rules which can be shared by everybody which -- which are not going to
affect or hinder the free expansion of the economy and trade.
And we discussed two important issues. One of them, which will be
discussed in L'Aquila as well, is food security, as President Obama has
already said. We hope that the countries there will make concrete efforts
and concrete proposals. The United States has already promised to
increase the aid to other countries and they're going to make in the next
three years huge amounts of money available. We try and will push the
other countries in the G8, trying to persuade them to do the same.
And another important issue is that of climate change. And another
important achievement we are aiming at is to reduce CO2 emissions -something, however, which has to be contributed to by all countries and
not only a limited number of them. And since the Doha Round has reached a
stop, we hope that by inviting Lamy, who is the director of the WTO, to
attend the G8 summit, that we can try and give another push to the Doha
Round, hoping to achieve positive results.
Probably what I forgot to mention up to now is that the meeting in
L'Aquila is not going to be confined to the G8 countries. The next day,
the second day, will be G8-plus-6. The major economies of the world will
be there; India, China, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, and Egypt will
attend the second day of meetings. There will be the major economies
forum with the participation of South Korea, Indonesia, and Australia, and
then there is another meeting which will be attended also by the
Netherlands, Spain, and Denmark -- and we are going to have before all of
these meetings together.
The dinner will be attended also by the representatives of the main
international organizations. And the third day, we are going to have the
President of the African Union, the representatives of the main African
organizations, together with the representatives of some of the main
African countries. We are going to discuss the development of this
continent and the issue of hunger in that area.
And I can't but thank President Obama and express my warmest felt
appreciation to him for -- and this position is coming from a person
that's been long enough in international politics to chair for the third
time the G8 summit; the first one was in the 1994; the second one in 2001;
and now the third one -- I want to express my appreciation for his deep
knowledge and precision and accuracy with which he discusses all of the
issues.
And the positions that he expresses are not only innovative positions
looking at a different future, but they're always very concrete and
absolutely based on common sense. And it is extremely comforting and a
131
pleasure to see that the destiny of the biggest democracy in the world is
in very good hands.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: I hope my staff all caught
(Laughter.) Gibbs, write that down. (Laughter.)
that.
Let me call on a couple people. Steve Thomma, McClatchy. There you
are.
Mr. President, on Iran, does the disputed election results
affect -- there's been violence in the street -- in any way change your
willingness to meet with Mr. Ahmadinejad without preconditions? And also,
do you have anything to say, any message to send to people who are on the
streets protesting, who believe their votes were stolen and who are being
attacked violently?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Obviously all of us have been watching the news
from Iran. And I want to start off by being very clear that it is up to
Iranians to make decisions about who Iran's leaders will be; that we
respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the
issue inside of Iran, which sometimes the United States can be a handy
political football -- or discussions with the United States.
Having said all that, I am deeply troubled by the violence that I've
been seeing on television. I think that the democratic process -- free
speech, the ability of people to peacefully dissent -- all those are
universal values and need to be respected. And whenever I see violence
perpetrated on people who are peacefully dissenting, and whenever the
American people see that, I think they're, rightfully, troubled.
My understanding is, is that the Iranian government says that they
are going to look into irregularities that have taken place. We weren't
on the ground, we did not have observers there, we did not have
international observers on hand, so I can't state definitively one way or
another what happened with respect to the election. But what I can say is
that there appears to ba a sense on the part of people who were so hopeful
and so engaged and so committed to democracy who now feel betrayed. And I
think it's important that, moving forward, whatever investigations take
place are done in a way that is not resulting in bloodshed and is not
resulting in people being stifled in expressing their views.
Now, with respect to the United States and our interactions with
Iran, I've always believed that as odious as I consider some of President
Ahmadinejad's statements, as deep as the differences that exist between
the United States and Iran on a range of core issues, that the use of
tough, hard-headed diplomacy -- diplomacy with no illusions about Iran and
the nature of the differences between our two countries -- is critical
when it comes to pursuing a core set of our national security interests,
specifically, making sure that we are not seeing a nuclear arms race in
the Middle East triggered by Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon; making sure
that Iran is not exporting terrorist activity. Those are core interests
not just to the United States but I think to a peaceful world in general.
132
We will continue to pursue a tough, direct dialogue between our two

countries, and we'll see where it takes us. But even as we do so, I think
it would be wrong for me to be silent about what we've seen on the
television over the last few days. And what I would say to those people
who put so much hope and energy and optimism into the political process, I
would say to them that the world is watching and inspired by their
participation, regardless of what the ultimate outcome of the election
was. And they should know that the world is watching.
And particularly to the youth of Iran, I want them to know that we in
the United States do not want to make any decisions for the Iranians, but
we do believe that the Iranian people and their voices should be heard and
respected.
PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: ANSA.
(As translated.) President Obama, after this meeting with Prime
Minister Berlusconi, what do you expect, in concrete terms, from the
relationship between United States and Italy? And to Prime Minister
Berlusconi, you had very strong relations with President George W.
Bush. Do you expect and do you hope to build the same type of relations
with President Obama, as well?
PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: I took an oath of gratitude towards
United States, which gave me freedom and which gave my country dignity
after World War II. So I'm here to cooperate with the President of the
United States. I'm here to cooperate with President Obama, as I
cooperated with President Clinton and as I did with President Bush.
So if I can express a hope, I really hope we can build a direct and
friendly relationship with President Obama. I would be more than happy to
do so. And facts will tell.
But anyway, I think we had a good start.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Absolutely. We've had a very good start. What I
expect from the Prime Minister is an honest, frank sharing of views and a
recognition that the United States and Italy share common values, common
interests. Our economies have very strong commercial ties. And if we're
acting on those mutual interests, then I have no doubt that we'll continue
to see strong cooperation.
As I said before, Prime Minister Berlusconi's assistance on our
efforts to close Guantanamo is very important to us. I have to say, by
the way, that Bermuda has done us a great service, as well, on that front,
and I'm grateful to them.
When it comes to Afghanistan and Pakistan, we are part of the same
coalition that wants to make sure that the Afghan government is able and
strong to sustain development for the Afghan people, but also to make sure
that they're not serving as a safe haven for extremists.
133
When it comes to the world economy, I think all of us have an

interest in improving the kinds of financial regulations that will prevent
the kinds of crises that we saw happening most recently.
So, across the board, I think we have a host of common interests. In
addition to liking Prime Minister Berlusconi personally, our peoples like
each other and recognize that we have shared interests. And that, I
think, will make the path for continued cooperation that much easier.
(After translation.) I must say, my answers sound very elegant in
Italian. (Laughter.)
Steve Collinson.
Thank you, Mr. President. Of the conditions that Prime Minister
Netanyahu laid out yesterday for a Palestinian state, the basis for
negotiation, do you think they will likely prove a stumbling block, given
the broadly negative reaction from the Arab states and the Palestinians?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, first of all, I think it's important not to
immediately assess the situation based on commentary the day after a
speech. I think any time an Israeli Prime Minister makes a statement, the
immediate reaction tends to be negative on one side. If the other side is
making a statement, oftentimes the reaction is negative in Israel.
Overall, I thought that there was positive movement in the Prime
Minister's speech. He acknowledged the need for two states. There were a
lot of conditions, and obviously working through the conditions on
Israel's side for security, as well as the Palestinian side for
sovereignty and territorial integrity and the capacity to have a
functioning, prosperous state, that's exactly what negotiations are
supposed to be about. But what we're seeing is at least the possibility
that we can restart serious talks.
Now, I've been very clear that, from the United States' perspective,
Israel's security is non-negotiable. We will stand behind their
defense. I've also made very clear that both sides are going to have to
move in some politically difficult ways in order to achieve what is going
to be in the long-term interests of the Israelis and the Palestinians and
the international community.
On the Israeli side, that means a cessation of settlements. And
there is a tendency to try to parse exactly what this means, but I think
the parties on the ground understand that if you have a continuation of
settlements that, in past agreements, have been categorized as illegal,
that's going to be an impediment to progress. On the Palestinian side,
whether it's the Palestinian Authority or other groups like Hamas that
claim to speak for the Palestinians, a recognition of the Quartet
principles, ensuring that there's a recognition of Israel's right to
exist, making sure that past agreements are abided to, that there's an end
134
to incitement against Israel and an end to violence against Israel. Those

are necessary pillars of any serious agreement that's to be reached.
And those pillars have to be supported by the Arab states, because
Israel's security concerns extend beyond simply the Palestinian
Territories; they extend to concerns that they have in a whole host of
neighbors where there's perceived and often real hostility towards
Israel's security. So I'm glad that Prime Minister Netanyahu made the
speech. The United States will continue to try to be as honest as
possible to all sides in this dispute to indicate the degree to which it's
in everybody's interests to move in a new direction. And I think it can
be accomplished, but it's going to require a lot of work and a partnership
with key countries like Italy in order to help the parties come together
and recognize their own interests.
You discussed during the meeting the crisis, the economic
crisis, you're going to discuss at the G8. The package of measures you
are discussing right now, can this be a kind of basis for the next
meetings -- G8 and G20?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, our respective finance ministers, not just
Italy's and the United States', but all the G8 members', have been meeting
diligently. They've put forward a framework that will be discussed and
hopefully ratified at the G8. That will provide a broad set of
principles.
Now, the United States is putting forward some very specific
regulatory reforms that are going to make sure that we don't find
ourselves in this position again, that improves oversight, ensures that
banks aren't taking risks with highly leveraged money that can result in
systemic collapse, that consumers and investors are protected more
effectively.
So we're going to have a lot of work to do. It's going to be a big,
complex piece of legislation. Different countries are going to have
different needs. Prime Minister Berlusconi was indicating to me that the
banking system in Italy has not been under the same kinds of pressures as
the banking system in the United States and some other European countries.
But I think the general principle -- that we're going to have
improved oversight, better practices, and that there's some coordination
and information-sharing between countries on issues like tax havens, for
example, so that you don't have global capital avoiding more stringent
rules by going to countries with weaker rules -- I think that's going to
be something that all G8 members affirm, and we very much appreciate Prime
Minister Berlusconi's leadership on this issue.
PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: I would like to add to this that our
ministers of finance have been working on all of these issues and
packages. In particular they paid attention, for instance, to corporate
governments and rules for transparency and a regulation of the financial
sectors, accounting rules, and as President Obama has also mentioned,
135
also, the issue of tax havens, to try and prevent those situations from
happening again. And the idea is to work out a set of rules and
regulations which can prevent situations and conditions like the ones
we've experienced which have led -- from happening, experience that is to
-- which led first to the financial crisis and then to the economic crisis
that we are experiencing right now.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you. Grazie.

Subject: FW: Your June 22, 2009 article on the Prague Conference

Dear Cheryl and Susan,

Below is a response from the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors, the largest and most well-known Holocaust
survivor group in the United States, strongly opposing a letter to Secretary of State Clinton, which was simultaneously
sent to Haaretz in Israel, from a group of survivors based in South Florida, asking that I be replaced as head of the U.S.
delegation because of my association with the Jewish Claims Conference. I will separately send their initial letter.
I have talked with Ambassador Christian Kennedy about this scurrilous and unrepresentative attack, made just before the
Prague Conference is to begin. We agree it emanates from two related causes. First, it was instigated by Sam Dubbin, a
class action lawyer in Miami who has spent the better part of ten years trying to get Congress to overturn the agreements
I negotiated on behalf of the Clinton Administration, which obtained over $8 billion for Holocaust survivors and other
victims of Nazi persecution around the world. He wants to be free to sue the very companies who paid these sums, in
return for getting assurances of the U.S. government would do all it could to provide "legal peace" from future suits.
Several federal courts have upheld our agreements. He has lobbied for legislation last year and again this year. Indeed,
Chairman Frank held a hearing in 2008 on this matter.
The second basis of the letter is a long-standing dispute between some survivors against the Jewish Claims Conference,
based in New York City, which was officially designated in the 1950s by the governments of Germany and Israel to be the
negotiator with the German government on behalf of Jewish Holocaust survivors. The bulk of the $60 billion paid by the
German government since the 1950s in reparations is passed through the Claims Conference, which then distributes it to
survivors. Their complaints range from a lack of transparency in their operations to the 80%-20% split, by which 80% of
their proceeds go directly to survivors and 20% to various Jewish organizations for projects of remembrance and
education about the Holocaust.
My association with the Jewish Claims Conference, which was fully disclosed during my vetting, is very tangential. I
volunteered to lead their once a year negotiation with the German government to improve pensions for survivors, to
provide new services like home care, and to increased the population of survivors covered by the German government. I
have done this once, in March of this year, with, by the way, major breakthroughs for survivors. None of these issues is
involved in the Prague Conference, and the German government has no problem with my participation. That is the only
involvement I have with the Claims Conference. I do not participate in their governing bodies, and have no hand in their
allocation or other decisions. I will not be involved again, until their next negotiation, in 2010, unless I decide not to
continue my voluntary negotiation for them.
Moreover, the letter is unbelievably inaccurate. While I have only been involved for several weeks as the official head of
the delegation, it is grossly inaccurate for them to allege that survivors have been left out of the process. Ambassador
Kennedy has done remarkable outreach to the survivor community for many months, in preparation for the Prague
Conference, and survivors are well represented on the Delegation. In the period since I have been officially involved, I
have met with the German Insurance Association to see if they would make a contribution for the social needs of
survivors; have talked with Judah Gribetz, the Special Master for the Swiss bank settlement, to see if any of the extra
sums they will have left over can be given to survivors; have worked to get language in the Terezin Declaration to
encourage countries to set up special funds for survivors and to use heirless property to assist them.
Ambassador Kennedy is preparing a press statement to be used if there is a question about the letter and the Haaretz
letter at the daily State Department press briefing.
Best wishes,
Stu Eizenstat

Subject: Your June 22, 2009 article on the Prague Conference
Dear Mr. Liphshiz,

With respect to your article yesterday on the utterly unwarranted personal attack on Ambassador Stuart
Eizenstat by a group of American Holocaust survivors, you should be aware that the leadership of the largest
organization of survivors and descendants of survivors in the United States, the American Gathering of Jewish
Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, in no way shares these sentiments. On the contrary, we hold
Ambassador Eizenstat in the highest esteem, know him to be a man of the highest integrity and ethical
standards, and are deeply grateful to him for everything he has done and continues to do on behalf of the
survivors over many years.
Neither David Schaecter nor Leo Rechter speak for anyone other than the groups they represent, and Mr.
Rechter's statement that survivors have "no confidence" in Ambassador Eizenstat is, viewed most charitably, a
gross overstatement in that he seeks to attribute his personal prejudices to the many thousands of survivors who
do not share his views and who have never authorized him to speak in their name. The lives of thousands upon
thousands of survivors throughout the world have been made easier over the past 15 years thanks to
Ambassador Eizenstat's tireless work on their behalf. I cannot think of anyone more appropriate to head the
U.S. delegation to the Prague conference.
The fact is that Ambassador Eizenstat's only association with the Claims Conference is a once a year, three day
negotiation as a volunteer with the German government for the interests of the survivors. The first such
negotiation took place earlier this year in March and resulted in 13,000 survivors who had previously been
turned down becoming eligible for for reparations for the first time, and in the improvement in existing pension
payments to survivors totaling over $50 million. Moreover, the specific pension issues for which he
volunteered to negotiate with the German government bear no relationship to the issues being covered by the
Prague Conference.
During the Clinton Administration, Ambassador Eizenstat was the Special Representative of the President and
Secretary of State on Holocaust era issues and the lead negotiator on such issues with the Swiss, German,
Austrian and French governments, as well as with various Eastern and Central European governments. In that
capacity, he obtained over $8 billion dollars in compensation and restitution for Holocaust survivors, including
payments to slave and forced laborers, the return of thousands of Jewish communal and private properties, the
payments of tens of thousands of previously undisclosed bank accounts, the recovery of hundreds of pieces of
looted art, and the payments on thousands of insurance policies. Indeed, Ambassador Eizenstat is more
responsible than any other single person for placing the issue of justice for Holocaust survivors on the
international agenda more than half a century after the end of World War II. He has also headed the U.S.
delegations to every one of the four previous international conferences dealing with Holocaust era assets,
beginning with the 1997 London Conference on Nazi Gold. Messrs. Schaecter and Rechter are well aware of
all this, and the fact that they chose to engage in an ad hominem attack against Ambassador Eizenstat one week
before the opening of the Prague conference - his appointment as head of the U.S. delegation was publicly
announced weeks ago - is unseemly and disingenuous in the extreme.
34
By way of introduction, I am vice president of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and
Their Descendants (I am the son of two survivors of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen), and I am a member of the
U.S. delegation to the Prague conference. I would be pleased to discuss this issue further with you, as I am sure

Dear Secretary Clinton:

With reference to our letter dated June 19, 2009, on behalf of the Holocaust Survivors Foundation USA, Inc.
(HSF), I would like to state that based on conversations that took place in the intervening time period between
Ambassador Eizenstat and the leadership of the HSF, and the commitments he made to our leaders, we are no longer
asking that he be replaced as the head of the U.S. delegation to the Prague Conference taking place on June 26-30.
On behalf of all of the survivors for whom we have been fighting over the last decade, including tens of thousands
in desperate need, we wish Ambassador Eizenstat the best of success as the head of the United States delegation at the
Conference, as well as in the follow-up activities that we understand will occur on matters affecting Holocaust survivors'
rights and interests.
Sincerely,
David Schaecter

As I told Jake and PJ, I was bit surprised that CNN (Charley Keyes) asked me at the podium if the Dept. was
concerned that the VP was seeming to be on the ascendent in foreign policy.
I talked to him off the record, and he admitted that he gets a "steady drumbeat" of requests from producers to find out "if
Hillary is holding her own" in the intragency battles, and particularly if there's infighting between her and White House.
He said what specifically prompted his q at the briefing on whether the VP was beginning to usurp S's role in foreign policy
was Gibb's announcement Tuesday that the VP was taking lead in Iraq policy (below).
I emphasized to him that the Sec is very engaged and involved in Iraq policy, noting she was on a conference call today
with Chris Hill.
Think much of this is the perennial Washington story of who's up and who's down, but it still bears careful watch. Ian

Odierno and Ambassador Hill in -- in working with the Iraqis toward

overcoming their political differences and achieving the type of
reconciliation that we all understand has yet to fully take place, but
needs to take place.
QUESTION: Well, what does -- what does that mean, "oversee"? In
what way will that change or enlarge his interaction with the
president, with General Odierno or Ambassador Hill?
GIBBS: Well, I -- I mean, obviously, he spends a fairly decent
amount of time with the president.
QUESTION: Right.
GIBBS: I think the meetings that I've been in, in different
parts of the building on Iraq, the vice president has always been an
active participant. I think, given his knowledge of the region, the
number of times he's been there, he's perfectly suited for this type
of role.
QUESTION: I guess what I'm getting at, does it mean travel?
Does it mean briefing? Does it mean doing some of the things he's
done more publicly, for example, on the stimulus?
GIBBS: My sense is, it probably means many of those things.

Again, I think what we want to ensure happens is that, as we reach
these milestones and these important dates, that we not forget that
work has to be done to get our troops back and to achieve that
political reconciliation. This is somebody who can oversee that at
the White House and ensure that we're making continued progress toward
those goals.

The bottom line of all of them was not dissimiliar to this message from torn so forwarding this one - namely, all had been

I just got off the phone with President Fernandez. His efforts to dissuade Zelaya and Company from traveling tomorrow
have not been successful. He was very worried about what would happen, and requested our help in ensuring that no
incidents take place at the airport.
I told him I shared his concern. I summarized for him our efforts to date, and told him that nascent engagement with
the armed forces and the de facto government would collapse if Zelaya tried to force the issue tomorrow. I told him of
the Cardinal's plea to Zelaya to not return. He said the Cardinal in Santo Domingo is close to the Honduran Cardinal, and
said he would reach out to him. I encouraged this. I told him that I thought the elements of a deal were on the table,
we just needed to find a way to get everyone to sit at the table and start talking. I told President Fernandez that he
could play an important role in creating a climate of confidence, and suggested that he reach out to interested parties
like Ricardo Maduro and others inside of Honduras. He said he would do so and get back to me

They are now saying that Zelaya doesn't want to travel tomorrow because wants to participate (remotely) in the burial

Sorry for the late email, but Central America Office Director Christopher Webster just called me to inquire about a
possible meeting between Zelaya and the Secretary tomorrow. He said they are trying to convince Zelaya to return from
San Salvador to the U.S. and that A/S Shannon indicated the Secretary had said that she would be willing to meet with
him tomorrow. They were wondering if they could give Zelaya a window of time for a meeting (see email below from

Looping other members of SITREP spam -- Managua understands that plane with ousted HOND President Zelaya left
WDC at approx 1500 WDC time. Also understand that plane is expected in Managua at approx 1924 local. Understand
that a separate plane with Argentine Pres Kirchner and Ecuadorian Pres. Correa also left WDC this afternoon en route to
El Salvador.
NEW INFORMATION
About 45 minutes ago, Telesur had images of apparent pro-Zelaya supporters at the airport fence and trying to pull it
down. Security forces inside the airport compound re-deployed to prevent a breach. It seems they did use white smoke
or gas to deter protestor action. Telesur also reported that shots were fired into the assembled crowd and that one or
two people were shot and killed (no names or confirmation). Images of ambulances in crowd were visible.
It seems now that the fence has been breached and a handful of pro-Zelaya supporters move in and out of airport area
to pick up rocks and retreat (there is open, clear area inside fence, possible construction). Security forces have taken up
positions on tarmac, presumably to prevent further incursion.
With respect to Micheleti assertion that NIC troops have mobilized near the border, our NIC contacts, both in GON and
private citizens indicate that there has been NO/NO unusual NIC mil activity at border -- Las Manos or El Espino.
However, as of 1900 Saturday, border contacts at El Espino report that HOND military reinforced its presence by about
70 personnel, who remain at El Espino. We were told this happened at Las Manos as well, but have not yet been able to
confirm with our sources at that border location.
Will continue to monitor and observe.

I addressed this with Lippert when we last had an issue.

Our identified point of contact is Sarah Farnsworth and we talk to her regularly. I will call and find out what happened
but this meeting was confirmed. They are not telling us when things get canceled and I think we need another contact
there if sarah is too overwhelmed.

that you discussed with the President, the budget will reflect77of new resources

greater than Defense which is now 3 percent, which is why part of the multilateral food assistance funding is going
directly to Treasury. As they work through the details of the numbers, this is the one place that we could face a last
minute issue if the percentages get out of alignment.
In terms of policy this has all of the restorations to initiatives that we discussed last week and also adds
to
MCC (OMB made this part of the agreement). In food security, with the combination of
from State/USAID
and
in new money will add
to the multilateral initiative; we will fund the nutrition component
within the State/USAID levels. Global engagement will be funded at
of new money and we will be able to
restore the proposal to increase in State and USAID staffing. While the staff increases will be funded at 50 percent of
the originally proposed levels, with carryover balances because prior year appropriations were delayed there will be a
very strong continuation of new recruitment. It should feel like we are on track and will add much needed capacity
much better than a pause.
While we still have a risk that the fee proposal may,not be accepted, we now have
of cushion in new State
ops funding which means our absolute risk vs. current levels is only
. We also get the upside that any
additional fee revenues above projections will come to State and the permanent transfer of revenues, if enacted, will
provide long term stability in State ops funding.
I talked to Karl yesterday about Afghanistan funding and I think he appreciates that we have made big progress, but he is
still thinking about weighing in on the need for full funding. I told him that we expect funding levels that will permit us
to increase the monthly program level from roughl

, with front loaded funding to permit
stable planning for the next 18 months. I told him that the proposed settlement made it much harder to make a
compelling case and he is weighing whether the principle of full funding of the field defined requirements is an issue
that he wants to be firm on. He understands that we went to the mat on this and he understands the character of the
arguments we faced.
I think Richard will be disappointed that the Pakistan funding level is at Kerry-Lugar-Berman levels and not higher.
Overall In a year when domestic agencies are being pressed very hard this should be seen as a big investment in State
and USAID. I started laying a foundation at the staff meeting this morning so our team has a context as they finalize the
budget documents with their staffs.
I hope this is the final budget note for the year. Best to you and your family for a happy and healthy new year.

Subject: you are hilarious
I just got my very own STATE DEPARTMENT SLING! I am now the bell of the ball in the lower press office. You guys are
too nice, and very, very funny. Thank you so much. My shoulder feels better already! Please tell Secretary Clinton that I
really appreciate the kind gesture.
Sincerely
