Outstanding Issues

Cables:

• Please ensure the geo TAGS are correct when using templates from other posts. I had to correct 2 draft cables (that
used Cameroon tags for Nigeria and Rwanda so please use the versions of the cables saved in -My Documents")

• Nigeria: need to complete clearances; make sure to clear with OFDA Tony Stitt; also verify with Nigeria Desk that real
amount is $1 million and not $100,000,000 as typed in cable (I changed It).

• Rwanda; need to complete clearances; make sure to clear with OFDA Tony Stitt

Pending Offers/Need to close the loop:

• Togo: offer of $100.000 needed in writing (I em ailed post but haven't received a reply)

• Senegal: Pete Davis of AFIW advised that offer of Senegal Ambassador In Washington for $100,000 is coming from
the Ambassador's discretionary fund .. He may deliver a check instead of wiring the money. Dip Notes to be
exchanged first. ACTION: Day shift 13 SEP should contact Pete to confirm receipt of Ambassador's DIP NOTE and
have Pete send response. clearing it with usual UMIR and Task F:orce officers. Clear with OFDA Tony Stitt as well.

Completed tasks this shift:

• Replied to Monica Rancher's query about how private Cameroonians can contrioute money and how American School
students can send books and letters to children in the Astrodome.
• Updated chart of AF donations to date.

This is the last one I received. It does not, however, reflect donations from South African ($2 mln],
Namibia ($100K in fish) that we heard about at the UN. Perhaps Katrina task force has sent Bill or Ginny

Accra (tel 233~21~775348), saying that post has informally advised the GOG of the
difficulty in accepting in-kind donations and that they are considering changing their
pledge to a cash donation. Scott was meeting with GOG officials today and will report
what they decide. Hold cable until we hear further.

* Rwanda - See previous report. Received clearance from AF/Cj revised cable to
reflect current TFl preferred language and format. Submitted two copies and diskette to
