UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762476 Date: 06/30/2015
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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Palau/Guantanamo Uighurs
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.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761859 Date: 06/30/2015
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.

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, highyield, 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.

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
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.

They are now saying that Zelaya doesn't want to travel tomorrow because wants to participate (remotely) in the burial
ceremony on Monday for those who died in violence at the airport today. He said he will return to Washington on
Tuesday in time to meet in the late afternoon. They are asking if it would be possible to have the meeting sometime on
Tuesday late afternoon instead.

Huma and Lona,
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
DCM in Sal Salvador). Please advise.
Thanks,
Courtney

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.

Morales Jr,
Considering Zelaya's late departure from Dulles (3 pm), I recommend we do our conference later rather than earlier. I
suggest 9 pm.

I have been chasing Zelaya by phone all around the Mayflower Hotel. I have spoken with the Honduran PermRep, the
Honduran FonMin, and the Venezuelen FonMin. Hector has spoken to Insulza. Everybody knows why we are calling.
Zelaya is obviously trying to work out his position before he gets back to me. He is at breakfast meeting now with
Argentine, Ecuadoran,and Paraguayan presidents, the UNGA president, the Vens, and Insulza.

I have just asked for the state of play this am as messages continued last night until lam.
The bottom line of all of them was not dissimiliar to this message from torn so forwarding this one - namely, all had been
unsuccessful in dissuading Zeleya from going today and several leaders and fm (espinoza) thought call from you might
help but Zeleya appeared in update messages to get more resolute as evening went on to return based upon readouts of
various meetings with him.

Subject: Talked with Leonel Fernandez
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

Sir:
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:
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.
The State bureaus are going to defer to USUN about whether we should announce that we are co-sponsors

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.

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.

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.
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
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758705 Date: 06/30/2015
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
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.

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.

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.

Also, I think it would be better for Karl to prepare a very specific budget/spending plan working w S/RAP rather than

We are very close to settled with OMB.

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
in new money will add
to the multilateral initiative; we will fund the nutrition component
and
of new money and we will be able to
within the State/USAID levels. Global engagement will be funded at
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
We
also
get
the
upside that any
ops funding which means our absolute risk vs. current levels is only
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 roughly
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.

providing an additional
directly to Treasury for the multilateral food initiative. This means that of the
that you discussed with the President, the budget will reflect77of new resources
in State and
n Treasury). The one condition on the top line is that the State/USAID percentage increase cannot be
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

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.

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

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.
She's willing to call today. We can try and set up asap. Let me know.

Re: REVISED Call Sheet S UNSYG UNGA
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

Dear All,
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
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760400 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760400 Date: 06/30/2015
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.
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

Re: 8/28 Senior Staff Meeting
Bill said he will be meeting with his Indonesian counterpart today to discuss.
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.

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.

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.

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.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760312 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760312 Date: 06/30/2015
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.

(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

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?
Doug

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.

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."

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.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760248 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760248 Date: 06/30/2015
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.

Levin opposed the surge, but voted for funding the troops.
Pasted below is Levin's speech on troops in Afghanistan. We'll have a copy for you as well.
Afghan speech below
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."

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759468 Date: 06/30/2015
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.

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?

We've sentword 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.
She's willing to call today. We can try and set up asap. Let me know.

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

H,
I spent yesterday with Les Gelb on Nantucket. He had lots to say which might be of interest, but I thought the most
important thing to tell you is to make sure you are aware of the Parade magazine piece he wants to do about you. He
would like to do a day in your life, when you meet with members of Congress and international figures. He wants to
show the impact you are having domestically and internationally. He said he would give you a veto over content and
looked me in the eye and said, "she will like it". Maybe you know this, but did not want it to fall between the cracks.
Enjoy your vacation and love to all of you.

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.

Re: Turkey-Armenia text for Davutoglu call
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.

Re: Turkey-Armenia text for Davutoglu call
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.

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.

H,
I spent yesterday with Les Gelb on Nantucket. He had lots to say which might be of interest, but I thought the most
important thing to tell you is to make sure you are aware of the Parade magazine piece he wants to do about you. He
would like to do a day in your life, when you meet with members of Congress and international figures. He wants to
show the impact you are having domestically and internationally. He said he would give you a veto over content and
looked me in the eye and said, "she will like it". Maybe you know this, but did not want it to fall between the cracks.
Enjoy your vacation and love to all of you.

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
Calderon and the leadership of the Mexican government. I will spend this week in Mexico. I will be back next week to
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.

Fw: Hey boss... from Kay Warren...
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

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
being done already.

SUGGESTED LETTER
I/ 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.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760036 Date: 06/30/2015
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 visitorsirom 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

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.

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.

the crisis; I urge you to think about taking bold action now to breathe new life into the process and signal that regardless

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.

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,

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
being done already.

SUGGESTED LETTER
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

Subject: FYI.... FW: Secretary Clinton Must Focus on Cause of Congo Conflict
No endorsement... just sharing what's in my inbox:
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."

a panacea to Congo's ills; 45,000 people die each month, mostly from the crippling effects of widespread conflict in the
Congo's eastern provinces.

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

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."

Thanks, Hillary. The notification was emphatically NOT a solicitation. Besides, you've already contributed such a vast
amount-to her life, and to the celebration of it.

The International Center for Research of Women (ICRW). New Delhi, India.
Description:
The International Center for Research of Women (ICRW) has established a fellowship in memory of Brooke Shearer, a
former ICRW board member and dedicated advocate for improving the health and economic status of women in the
developing world. The Brooke Shearer fellowship in India is an opportunity for U.S. early career professionals with
graduate degrees to contribute to research and programs that advance gender equality and empower women in Asia.
Shearer was a stalwart supporter and contributor to ICRW's mission and work. ICRW honors her commitment to women
with a fellowship program based in our Asia Regional Office in New Delhi, India, a tribute to Shearer's fond memories of
her time spent in India during her youth and her tenure on ICRW's board.
The 2009 fellow will work in collaboration with the Asia director of the social and economic development group on
programs, research, advocacy, and business development related to the group's portfolio of work. The specific activities
of the fellow will be determined based on the substantive and technical skills, interests, and experience of the candidate
selected and the current opportunities in the group. Likely projects for engagement include:
The PACE program-an ICRW collaboration with Gap Inc. on workplace and personal advancement of
female garment workers in India, Cambodia, Bangladesh.
The Counting Girls Project-a project examining son preference in India and China, the effectiveness of
specific policy efforts in addressing sex selection and discrimination against girl children, and the potential conflict
between the human rights of girls and reproductive rights for women.
Delayed Marriage-project examining the social norms that would need to be changed to eliminate early
marriage.

(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.

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.

being done already.

I/ 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.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760047 Date: 06/30/2015
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,

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.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759228 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759228 Date: 06/30/2015
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.

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

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.
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.

I want to meet w people Thursday night so pls don't schedule anything after Capricia's event.
On Friday, can Kessler be moved to next week?
Rahm told me there may be a small mtg w the POTUS on Sunday morning so I may need to take plane back either late
Sat night or early Sun am. Also Rahm said he wanted to see me alone sometime before that Sunday mtg. Pls follow up
on both mtgs.

Re: Haiti
Hi Cheryl,
Just wanted to close the loop and let you know that President Clinton will address the Security Council next week (Wed,
Sept 9) in his role as UN Special Envoy for Haiti. This has not been announced / is still close hold. Thanks for your
support in moving this forward. We are excited about this session.

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.

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!!!!

BusinessWeek Ranks Department of State #5 Best Place to Launch a Career: The Department ranked at the top
among federal agencies and #5 among all employers as one of the best places to begin a career. With an increase from
#12 last year to #5 this year, BusinessWeek ranked the Department in the Top 20 for the fourth consecutive year. The
ranking is based on a three-part methodology that includes combined survey data from careers services directors,
undergraduate students, and employers. For further information, please visit

Burns,
We missed our calling.
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.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759596 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759596 Date: 06/30/2015
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.

Re: Swanee
We were judging the candidates for the Swanee Hunt Award which goes annually to a FS0 and a FSN judged superior
for integrating women's issues into their work. T hey are nominated by ambassadors at posts or AS's here.
I called her because we had a tie for the FSO's and I wanted to see if she'd provide a second monetary award so we
wouldn't have to divide the $5k. She agreed and then told me
State will fly in the awardees and the Secry usually gives out the award. Swanee is hoping that she'll be able to come and
be there for the brief ceremony.

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.

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.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759552 Date: 06/30/2015
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.

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.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759543 Date: 06/30/2015
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.

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 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,

FYI I have Caitlin looking at the entire book: see b/I
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]).
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759571 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759571 Date: 06/30/2015
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.
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.
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.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759571 Date: 06/30/2015
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

Subject: Palau offended by US positions
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.

We have Hector
As I noted earlier, we will almost certainly have a resolution that suspends Honduras. There has been some talk about
using the resolution to urge countries to impose economic sanctions. Honduras (Zelaya government) finally said no to
that.
We are also working to convince Zelaya that now is not the time to return to Honduras. We are trying to get Insulza to
talk with the Argentine president about this. Hector spoke with the Dominican president earlier in the day, who is also
weighing in on the side of sanity.
That is all for the moment. This will probably go very late.

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:
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.

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.

Jim K. sent in some edits in the middle of the night -- strictly designed to trim/improve flow. Think it's worth you flipping
through to see if any strike you as worth making.
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...

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

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

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
DCM in Sal Salvador). Please advise.
Thanks,
Courtney

At 1945, local NIC media aired footage from MGA airport of Zelaya getting back on plane. It appeared that FM Rodas
and Ven FM Maduro were also in departing party.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Sir:
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:
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;

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758812 Date: 06/30/2015
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.
The State bureaus are going to defer to USUN about whether we should announce that we are co-sponsors

Re: FW: 8:30 draft
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...

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://usapavilion2OlO.com/>, 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://shanghaLusembassy-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
(includin'g 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.]

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.
The State bureaus are going to defer to USUN about whether we should announce that we are co-sponsors

These are notes from torn. Let me know if u are ok with ops connecting call.
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.)
Does she need specific points? Should I have her call u before she calls him?

As I noted earlier, we will almost certainly have a resolution that suspends Honduras. There has been some talk about
using the resolution to urge countries to impose economic sanctions. Honduras (Zelaya government) finally said no to
that.
We are also working to convince Zelaya that now is not the time to return to Honduras. We are trying to get Insulza to
talk with the Argentine president about this. Hector spoke with the Dominican president earlier in the day, who is also
weighing in on the side of sanity.
That is all for the moment. This will probably go very late.

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.

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:
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.

Update:
-- Resolution suspending Honduras passed with a roll call vote, requested by the Caribbeans, 33-0. Honduras did not
vote.
-- Strong push by key countries, including Mexico and Costa Rica, to try to convince Zelaya not to return today.
Zelaya seems intent on returning. If no other presidents travel with him, Insulza feels under an obligation to
accompany.
-- I am touching bases now to figure out what latest state of play is; I think we could have a busy Sunday.

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,

Of all his transition choices, none was easier to make, or more complex to execute, than Hillary Clinton as secretary of
state. Obama had long wanted his former rival on his team, no matter what his friends and aides said about her
aggressive campaign... His staff opposed the idea for the most part, arguing that Clinton would never be truly loyal. But
Obama was willing to leave the primaries behind, including his own strong feelings at the time. "I don't hold grudges,"
he told his aides. "I don't worry about the past. I'm concerned about what happens now. If she can help me and Bill
Clinton isn't too much of a liability, we should seriously look at this." ...
Obama was under no illusion about the legacy of the long primary season. During one transition meeting, Obama said he
wanted to offer Clinton the diplomatic job. "I'm really interested in pursuing this, but I know she has some hard feelings
coming out of this campaign." Emanuel and John Podesta, the former Clinton official who ran the transition, assured
Obama that she was over those hard feelings now. Obama smiled and said, "Believe me. She's not over it yet."
His decision to offer her the job of secretary of state came surprisingly early. Well before the end of the primaries, when
his staff and friends still felt hostile to her, Obama decided that Clinton possessed the qualities to carry his diplomacy to
the rest of the world. "We actually thought during the primary, when we were pretty sure we were going to win, that
she could end up being a very effective secretary of state," he told me later. "I felt that she was disciplined, that she was
precise, that she was smart as a whip, and that she would present a really strong image to the world...I had that mapped
out."
Recruiting and managing a team of rivals would not be easy, and Clinton came with her own set of issues. Chief among
them was her campaign debt, which she wanted eliminated before she took the job of secretary of state. Would the
president-elect go out and help her to do so? "I'm not begging her to take this job," Obama told his senior aides. "If she
wants it, I could help. But I'm not willing to go out in these difficult economic times to do a flashy fundraiser in
California." As it happened, plenty of people in the Senate were begging Obama to offer Clinton the job. Obama's aides

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758676 Date: 06/30/2015
believed that many Senate Democrats thought Clinton had extended her presidential campaign far beyond the point
where she had lost the election. Her negative advertising wasted Democratic money, threatened to undermine the
party's nominee, and suggested that she was disloyal to the party. They were unwilling to offer the junior New York
senator a position ahead of her lowly rank, and she stood little chance of becoming majority leader. "There was a lot of
encouragement from inside the Senate to get her into this job," said one senior Obama aide. "They wanted her out of
there." ...
As for controlling the uncontrollable Bill Clinton, Obama's aides drew up a series of checks on his fundraising for both
Clinton Global Initiative and his work on HIV/AIDS across the world. But they really counted on Hillary to be the ultimate
safeguard - against both her husband and her own ambition. "It's in her interests to keep him in line," warned one senior
Obama aide. Others in Obama's inner circle said the president-elect believed Clinton needed to demonstrate that she
was a team player and to shape her own career and legacy. "There are plenty who don't trust her and think she still
harbors something," said another senior adviser. "It's still potentially problematic down the road. Barack's thinking on
this is that it's not in her interests to mess with us. She can't win that fight internally and she's smart enough that she
won't want that fight publicly."
Several weeks into the administration, even Clinton's internal critics believed the relationship was a success. "They have
both worked really hard at it," said one senior White House official. "There's a natural affinity and respect that ironically
grew out of being opponents. You get to know someone really well after all that."

Sorry to flood your email, but I couldn't resist sending this to you from Ben Smith.
A year ago today, the final set of primaries made official the foregone conclusion that Barack Obama had won the
primary, and Hillary Clinton lost it.
There's far too much going on today to dwell on an anniversary, but it does seem worth noting one particular piece of
news in its light: On the central health care policy debate of the Democratic Primary -- which was, to be fair, conducted
within a fairly narrow frame -- Obama appears to have conceded today to a Senate plan likely to more closely resemble
Clinton's.
In a dense, careful letter <http://www.politico.com/static/PPM118_090603_healthcare_ltr.html> to Ted Kennedy nd
Max Baucus, Obama offered his principles <http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0609/23298.html> for a health care
plan and conceded on a central point: He is now open to an individual mandate, which he campaigned against, and
which is now being talked about by Senators of both parties with the buzzword "shared responsibility."
Obama still backs a "hardship waiver" for people unable to afford the mandate -- which is consistent with the core of his
objection to the mandate. But what he cast as a principled difference of approach -- was the problem merely that
people couldn't afford insurance? or something more? -- seems to have been conceded.
Here's the relevant paragraph:
I understand the Committees are moving towards a principle of shared responsibility -- making every American
responsible for having health insurance coverage, and asking that employers share in the cost. I share the goal of ending
lapses and gaps in coverage that make us less healthy and drive up everyone's costs, and I am open to your ideas on
shared responsibility. But I believe if we are going to make people responsible for owning health insurance, we must
make health care affordable. If we do end up with a system where people are responsible for their own insurance, we

need to provide a hardship waiver to exempt Americans who cannot afford it. In addition, while I believe that employers
have a responsibility to support health insurance for their employees, small businesses face a number of special
challenges in affording health benefits and should be exempted.

!?
Kyrgyzstan will not reverse its decision to close a U.S. military air base which is used to supply American troops for
Afghanistan occupation, Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbayev said on Thursday. U.S. President Barack Obama has
sent a personal appeal to Kyrgyzstan proposing ways to discuss "expanding cooperation".
But Bakiyev's office said in a statement it had received a letter from Obama praising bilateral relations. "Moreover,
Barack Obama expressed hope to further strengthen various forms of cooperation between the United States and
Kyrgyzstan," the statement said without mentioning the air base issue. "The decision to annul all agreements on the
Manas military air base has been taken and there is no turning back on this," he told the 24.kg news agency.

Dear Cheryl
Following a few discussions with Dick Gephardt - I have pleasure in laying out fairly detailed information about a
conference that is being held in Demark on 3-4 December 2009.
We have made the note reasonably in-depth so hopefully will provide you with sufficient background. The organisers of
the event which are ATP - the largest Danish Pension Fund and the Climate Consortium Denmark are being sponsored
and backed by the Danish government and they were very hopeful that Hillary would be able to be the key note speaker
at the conference for reasons that they have identified in the attached briefing document.
We were hoping to establish whether this event would be of interest for Hillary to appear and if she was available we
would then arrange for the formal invite to be sent out by the Danish Government.
If we can provide any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The Settlements Facts
By Daniel Kurtzer
Sunday, June 14, 2009
Faulty analysis of the Israeli settlement issue is being passed off as fact. Charles Krauthammer's June 5 column, "The
Settlements Myth <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/04/AR2009060403811.html > ,"
is one example.
Here are the facts: In 2003, the Israeli government accepted, with some reservations, the "road map" for peace, which
imposed two requirements on Israel regarding settlements: "GOI [Government of Israel] immediately dismantles
settlement outposts erected since March 2001. Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity
(including natural growth of settlements)."
Today, Israel maintains that three events -- namely, draft understandings discussed in 2003 between Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon and U.S. deputy national security adviser Stephen Hadley; President George W. Bush's April 14, 2004, letter
to Sharon; and an April 14 letter from Sharon adviser Dov Weissglas to national security adviser Condoleezza Rice -constitute a formal understanding in which the United States accepted continuing Israeli building within the
"construction line" of settlements. The problem is that there was no such understanding.
The first event the Israelis cite is the 2003 discussions on a four-part draft that included the notion that construction
within settlements might be permitted if confined to the already built-up areas of the settlements. The idea was to draw
a line around the outer perimeter of built-up areas in settlements and to allow building only inside that line. This draft
was never codified, and no effort was made then to define the line around the built-up areas of settlements.

Nonetheless, Israel began to act largely in accordance with its own reading of these provisions, probably believing that
U.S. silence conferred assent.
Second, President Bush's 2004 letter conveyed U.S. support of an agreed outcome of negotiations in which Israel would
retain "existing major Israeli population centers" in the West Bank "on the basis of mutually agreed changes ...." One
of the key provisions of this letter was that U.S. support for Israel's retaining some settlements was predicated on there
being an "agreed outcome" of negotiations. Despite Israel's contention that this letter allowed it to continue building in
the large settlement blocs of Ariel, Maale Adumim and Gush Etzion, the letter did not convey any U.S. support for or
understanding of Israeli settlement activities in these or other areas in the run-up to a peace agreement.
In his 2004 letter to Rice, Weissglas addressed the issue of the "construction line," saying that "within the agreed
principles of settlement activities, an effort will be made in the next few days to have a better definition of the
construction line of settlements in Judea & Samaria." However, there never were any "agreed principles of settlement
activities." Moreover, the effort to define the "construction line" was never consummated: Israel and the United States
discussed briefly but did not reach agreement on the definition of the construction line of settlements. Weissglas's letter
also promised "continuous action" to remove all the unauthorized outposts, but Israel removed almost none of them.
Throughout this period, the Bush administration did not regularly protest Israel's continuing settlement activity. But this
is very different from arguing that the United States agreed with it. In recent days, former senior Bush administration
officials have told journalists on background that no understandings existed with Israel regarding continued settlement
activity.
Commentators also focus on the Obama administration's reiteration that a freeze must include the "natural growth" of
settlements. Krauthammer says that this "means strangling to death the thriving towns close to the 1949 armistice line.
.. It means no increase in population. Which means no babies." This is nonsense. No one suggests that Israelis stop
having babies. Rather, the blessing of a new baby does not translate into a right to build more apartments or houses in
settlements. The two issues have nothing to do with each other. Israelis, like Americans, move all the time when life
circumstances -- children, jobs, housing availability -- change.
The pattern of population growth in the territories actually undercuts the natural-growth argument. Since 1993, when
Israel signed the Oslo Accords, Israel's West Bank settler population has grown from 116,300 to 289,600. The numbers in
East Jerusalem increased from 152,800 to more than 186,000. This goes far beyond the natural increase of families
already living in the settlements. Inserting the provision of "natural growth" in official documents started with the 2001
Mitchell Report and the 2003 "road map," reflecting recognition that the concept was being abused as a justification for
expanding settlements. The Obama administration is pursuing policies that every administration since 1967 has
articulated -- that settlements jeopardize the possibility of achieving peace and thus settlement activity should stop. This
does not diminish the Palestinians' responsibilities, especially their commitment to stop violence and terrorism and
uproot terrorist infrastructure. President Obama emphasized this in his Cairo speech. But Palestinian failures in no way
justify Israeli failure to implement their road map commitments with respect to settlements and outposts. It is time for
Israel to freeze all settlement activity and dismantle the unauthorized outposts.
The writer, U.S. ambassador to Israel from 2001 to 2005, is a visiting professor of Middle East policy studies at Princeton
University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

National Security Threats Posed by Climate Change and Our Dependence on Foreign Oil
Dear,
I've spent my entire life working to keep America safe. That is why I feel compelled to add my voice to the growing
number of senior U.S. generals, admirals, and veterans calling for immediate actions to address the alarming national
security threats posed by climate change and our dependence on foreign oil.
We import over half our oil from countries that are hostile to us. Last year, we paid over $255 BILLION to Middle
Eastern countries that are the primary funders for terrorists groups like Al Qaeda and to Russia and Venezuela.
The U.S. consumes more energy than any other country in the world, so increased U.S. fuel efficiency standards and
reliance on renewable energy will directly affect not only our own economic prosperity, but world energy prices as well.
That matters because when the cost of a barrel of crude oil increases $10, the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran gets $15
billion more, Putin in Russia gets an extra $36 billion, and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela gets an additional $10 billion to
prop up his anti-American regime.
Furthermore, since the military is the largest energy consumer in the U.S., that same $10/barrel increase means DoD has
to spend $1.3 billion more on fuel, which is equal to the entire procurement budget for the Marine Corps.
But our reliance on foreign oil does more than fund our enemies. The droughts, famines, and rising sea levels caused by
climate change pose perhaps the greatest destabilizing influence the world will face over the next 50 years.
Forty percent of the world's population gets its drinking water from mountain glaciers that could disappear within
decades. Without forceful and decisive action, conflict will likely erupt among climate refugees competing for dwindling
resources and political destabilization will create ungoverned spaces where terrorists can flourish. These effects were
seen in Afghanistan in the 1990s and are currently being experienced in Somalia and Darfur, were genocide erupted
following the drying of Lake Chad, leaving 300,000 dead.
We must act now. A huge coalition of faith and military leaders have joined together to support efforts in Congress to
pass effective climate change legislation this year. We need you to add your voice to ours by taking 1 minute to
encourage your Member of Congress to support this effort. Please click here to email or call your Representative.

The demarche was delivered Friday in London, to FCO and Home Office officials. The Embassy passed your letter to
them, drawing their attention in particular to Mr. Savage's statement that he had never advocated violence and that his
statements had never instigated violence. The British officials said that, given Mr. Savage's legal action in the UK,
Treasury solicitors would contact his legal representatives directly to provide details of the comments that had given rise
to the decision to exclude him.

Hilary,
You may know but for the last four years I have been working with the Qatari's and in particular with Sheikha Moser on
disability issues in Qatar and I have built up a good relationship with them
Sheikha Moser has approached me privately saying they are keen to get their relationship with the USA onto a more
positive footing and she was hoping for a "women to women" one to one private meeting with you. She is happy to
come to Washington if you could make some time available.
Is this something you would be prepared o do. Sheikha Moser is someone who has real influence in Qatar and she has
made a lot of difference already with her education city and with the Shaffalah Centre for people with Disabilities in
which I am involved as the Co Chair of its Annual Disability conference. I am sure the conversation would not be
confined to these issues but would be about the US/Qatar relationship generally.

Media: Although the families have thus far shown restraint from approaching the media to publicize their story, they

appeal is necessary and would be helpful to their case, citing the public attention given the Saberi case. They are
considering doing interviews on Larry King Live and/or The O'Reilly Factor.

AMS did not like any of this both for the substance and because she did not write it so we did not share it with you
today. Then I decided to share it with you anyway for any value it has for you.
Frame:
The world we live in today is inextricably interconnected. Together we succeed. Apart we fail. In the Obama
Administration, we will use smart power to advance to our shared security, shared prosperity and shared humanity.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758567 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758567 Date: 06/30/2015
Support the development of health systems that support healthier societies and confront the spread of pandemic
disease (e.g., AIDs)
How we achieve these goals:
We will advance these goals through shared responsibility and the application of smart power. America has the
responsibility to lead, but can only lead in partnership with others. Smart power means elevating and integrating
diplomacy and development.
DIPLOMACY:
Targeted public/private and multilateral partnerships based upon the principles of variable geometry (i.e., focused
on the problem at hand).
Build strong partnerships by:
listening and mutual respect which has begun already and will continue
being accountable for the challenges we create and demanding that our partners are similarly accountable;
focusing on government to people, and people to people connections using new technology to create buy in from
bottom up so shared responsibility is experienced on the ground and sustainable;
eliminating the obstacles to cooperation that stand in the way of us achieve our goals (e.g., resolving Cyprus so
Turkey can enter the EU; engaging Iran to create greater accountability among EU partners if engagement fails)
creating work plans to drive cooperation on our shared agenda: tasks, timetables and benchmarks for each
country
DEVELOPMENT:

Frame:
The world we live in today is inextricably interconnected. Together we succeed. Apart we fail. In the Obama
Administration, we will use smart power to advance to our shared security, shared prosperity and shared humanity.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758565 Date: 06/30/2015
Support the development of health systems that support healthier societies and confront the spread of pandemic
disease (e.g., AlDs)
How we achieve these goals:
We will advance these goals through shared responsibility and the application of smart power. America has the
responsibility to lead, but can only lead in partnership with others. Smart power means elevating and integrating
diplomacy and development.
DIPLOMACY:
Targeted public/private and multilateral partnerships based upon the principles of variable geometry (i.e., focused
on the problem at hand).
Build strong partnerships by:
listening and mutual respect which has begun already and will continue
being accountable for the challenges we create and demanding that our partners are similarly accountable;
focusing on government to people, and people to people connections using new technology to create buy in from
bottom up so shared responsibility is experienced on the ground and sustainable;
eliminating the obstacles to cooperation that stand in the way of us achieve our goals (e.g., resolving Cyprus so
Turkey can enter the EU; engaging Iran to create greater accountability among EU partners if engagement fails)
creating work plans to drive cooperation on our shared agenda: tasks, timetables and benchmarks for each
country

Please advise to whom I should forward Jacqueline Novogratz's request. I know you know her, but honestly, she is so
far ahead of the curve and brilliant. I believe she could be enormously helpful to your work.
Love you,
Jill
I'm writing to see if you might help me secure a meeting with Secretary Clinton to talk about my ideas for a $500 million
Global Innovation Fund that invests in "what works" in international development and would complement the work
President Obama is doing with his domestically-focused Social Innovation Fund.
The world needs a new vision for development. This is the moment for experimentation and a new commitment to
innovation and change. The U.S. spent $23.5 billion on foreign assistance in 2006. If we experimented with just $500
million to invest capital and technical assistance in social enterprises focused on results, accountability and scale, we

could build real blueprints for change. At Acumen Fund we see so many impactful and promising innovations; the State
Department would be a powerful partner in scaling those successes.
A global social innovation fund would be particularly impactful in Pakistan. The U.S. may commit $11.5 billion over five
years to Pakistan, and it is critical that we look closely at how we might spend that money. In Acumen Fund's seven
years working in Pakistan we have found that models for change exist, and we have built a powerful community of
entrepreneurs and supporters within Pakistan. As you know we have invested in organizations like Saiban, which has
provided low-cost housing to more than 60,000. There is FMIA, a joint venture that has sold more than 30,000 health
insurance policies. And Kashf, a microfinance institution serving more than 300,000 poor women by making small loans
to help themselves change their own lives. The challenge is to grow these solutions from reaching hundreds of
thousands to the millions most in need.
I believe this kind of investment in Pakistan is the "smart power" that Secretary Clinton referred to in her speech at the
Global Philanthropy Forum. She has an incredible vision and Acumen Fund would love to find ways to support her.
Anything you could do would be truly appreciated. And do let me know anything I can do on this end as I feel a deep
sense of urgency and want to do all I can to contribute.
Thanks so much,
Jacqueline

Hilary,
You may know but for the last four years I have been working with the Qatari's and in particular with Sheikha Moser on
disability issues in Qatar and I have built up a good relationship with them
Sheikha Moser has approached me privately saying they are keen to get their relationship with the USA onto a more
positive footing and she was hoping for a "women-to women" one to one private meeting with you. She is happy to
come to Washington if you could make some time available.
Is this something you would be prepared o do. Sheikha Moser is someone who has real influence in Qatar and she has
made a lot of difference already with her education city and with the Shaffalah Centre for people with Disabilities in
which I am involved as the Co Chair of its Annual Disability conference. I am sure the conversation would not be
confined to these issues but would be about the US/Qatar relationship generally.

Jim's thoughts on doc
Cdm
I think this is very good. I really like the emphasis on security, which is part of her brand, and very relevant (I always
have in the back of my mind the possibility that great tragedy will strike again, so we need to prepared to deal with that
reality, should it come about some day).
I like combining that with the notion of prosperity and humanity, which together covers so much ground - from
economic development to human rights.
A couple miscl thoughts -- in terms of promoting prosperity/economic development, might there be a reason to technological advancement
(giving people access to education and technological tools that can help them in terms of both education and access to
social networks and other avenues for advancement). You do reference education in the development arena, and in
prosperity, so that's good).
- there isn't much here mentioning democratization, freedom, etc. I know that is probably dicey given the multitude of
governments we want to partner with that aren't ready to talk that talk, but still think it needs to be incorporated in
some aspect of a mission statement.
- really like strong reference to women as a key to economic and social stabilization. That ties into her "brand" and into
a reality. I know when the First Ladies of Africa came out here to LA, one of the desires was to try to draw them into an
alliance that might transcend their own national differences and create cross-border force for positive change. A friend

of mine is one of the executives with the Hunger Project, whose CEO is a woman who focuses, too, on the way targeting
women can help alleviate hunger in ways that just dealing with men or generally cannot.
- really like that 'variable geometry' reference. This is kind of like 3 dimensional chess - strange and complicated
alliances need to be made to grapple with a multitude of cross-cutting challenges. This is calculus, not arithmetic.
- would like to be sure religions are involved here, vis a vis the various partnerships. It can be either a powerful force of
positive change, or it can get in the way of progress, depending on how it's used or abused, but to the extent allowed
Constitutionally, the power of religion should be encouraged in the direction of alliances and partnerships of progress.
- as I think about Kennan's "containment" doctrine a little further - in some ways it can be reapplied to extremism,
meaning that our goal should be to contain not Communism this time, but extremist ideology whereever it exists, and
just as Kennan supported, development is one of the ways to build those walls of containment around a dangerous
ideology. We want to contain extremist, nihilistic, violent ideologies and movements whereever they might take root,
and a good way to do that is to focus on development, on women, on technology, on education.
The power of diplomacy rests on two foundations. On the one hand, there is the reality and potentiality of military
force. Without having the capacity to defend, and to project force, diplomacy is inherently weak and ineffectual.
On the other hand, development is the other foundation upon which successful diplomacy can be built. It's the carrot to
the military's stick. And the State Department has an integral role to play in both the diplomatic and developmental
parts of that tripod (while also being understanding of, and when necessary supportive of, implementing the military
part).
The connective tissue of security, prosperity and humanity is, as you suggest, "purpose," or more prosaically "morality." Morals. It is immoral for people to live in fear, to be unprotected, to be subject to harm and death. It is
immoral for people's human rights to be violated, to not have access to education and heatlh. And it is immoral to be
denied the opportunity to grow, to create a better future for children, etc. To let, as Roy has said, every child to live up
to his or her God-given potential.
one last point - on shared humanity, perhaps protecting the natural resources of the Earth - environmentalism - should
be referenced along with health and human rights. It's part of the underpinning of our international morality and the
kind of partnership we need to solve global warming, etc.

Brian, First, thanks for a nice family morning and for breakfast. Always fun, always interesting and always fulfilling.
Below is a sample of the kind of emails I sent to various people (studio heads; Dan Glickman; etc), which have started to
generate concern, interest and action. AJC is also active on other fronts, as well.
Just below the email you will find the news item which first called this abomination to my attention.
I hope you can enlist Hilary's support (and please give her my personal best). We need, for many reasons, to have the
US protest and condemn this outrageous boycott and to oppose the anti-Semitism inherent in it; cf Durban. The
organizers of the festival must be convinced to reverse themselves. This, because of the inherent wrongness of it and
that if it succeeds, it will encourage and motivate those who fomented the boycott to other, probably even worse,
action. For example, there is in effect or pending (I am not certain which) a UK-Israeli treaty on film production; we
should cut off at the pass any attempts to derail it.
Our Embassy in London does not yet have our Ambassador. The charge d'affaires is Robert Lebaron who I hope will
receive appropriate instructions from DOS. If he acts quickly, it is likely that other nations will follow suit; again,
compare Durban.
This is truly appalling and serious and I earnestly solicit your assistance with the Secretary, and through you my earnest
solicitation of her assistance.
With appreciation and love, Bruce
PS Naturally, you are free to share this email.
Edinburgh film festival bows to pressure from Ken Loach over Israeli boycott

A row threatened to engulf the Edinburgh International Film Festival yesterday after it bowed to pressure from the
director Ken Loach and returned a 300 grant it had received from the Israeli Embassy.
Sir Jeremy Isaacs, the former chief executive of Channel Four, accused the festival's organisers of making "an appalling
decision" and called on them to rescind it. Describing Loach's intervention as an act of censorship, he said: "They must
not allow someone who has no real position, no rock to stand on, to interfere with their programming."
The grant was intended to enable Tali Shalom Ezer, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, to travel to Scotland for a
screening of her film, Surrogate.
After days of protest against the award from pro-Palestinian organisations, Loach, an outspoken opponent of Israel's
policies in Lebanon and Gaza, urged filmgoers on Monday to boycott Edinburgh.
"The massacres and state terrorism in Gaza make this money unacceptable," he said. "With regret, I must urge all who
might consider visiting the festival to show their support for the Palestinian nation and stay away."
The intervention brought an immediate capitulation from the organisers. In a statement the festival said it accepted that
Loach spoke "on behalf of the film community, therefore we will be returning the funding issued by the Israeli Embassy".
Sir Jeremy said that he was disgusted both by Loach's actions and by the capitulation of the festival organisers. "Ken
Loach has always been critical of censorship of his own work, albeit it was many years in the past. The idea that he
should lend himself to the denial of a film-maker's right to show her work is absolutely appalling," he said. He was
"equally horrified" that festival organisers should accept that Loach was speaking on behalf of all British film-makers.
Sir Jeremy worked closely with Loach in the 1980s when, as chief executive of Channel Four, he commissioned a number
of controversial documentaries from him. One, A Question of Leadership, was made in 1981 but never broadcast,
leading to accusations of political censorship from Loach. The irony of the director's present position was all the more
obvious, given the spirit of the Edinburgh festival, Sir Jeremy said.
"It must be good for cinemagoers at an international film festival to see films by Jews, Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, to
the benefit of all," he said.
"I have admired the Edinburgh International Film Festival for many years and would like to think that this appalling
decision will be rescinded."
Loach's acclaimed new film Looking for Eric has made him the toast of the Cannes Film Festival. It is, uncharacteristically,
a comedy, although its lead character is an authentic Loach creation a Mancunian postman who goes off in search of
his idol, the footballer Eric Cantona.
Ezer's film makes no reference to war or politics. It is a romance set in a sex-therapy clinic. It won the audience award at
an international women's film festival in Israel recently.
Lord Janner of Braunstone, a Labour peer and former chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said that he was
disappointed by the festival's decision. "By banning the Israeli Embassy from supporting a film-maker the festival is
helping to exclude Israelis from British cultural life, something that is clearly unfair."
Last night a spokesman for the EIFF said that although it had returned 300 to the Israeli Embassy, the festival itself
would fund Ms Shalom-Ezer's travel to Edinburgh out of its own budget

Hi hillary,
Please call me about this if you have a moment. The message is self-explanatory, apparently there is no american voice
in place to speak out or lead on this issue so --there is no voice. I believe you know Bruce Ramer who is my brother-in-_
law, former president of american jewish committee and well-respected entertainment lawyer in la. And, he is right.
Look forward to seeing you next week in washington. Best, brian
Brian, First, thanks for a nice family morning and for breakfast. Always fun, always interesting and always fulfilling.
Below is a sample of the kind of emails I sent to various people (studio heads; Dan Glickman; etc), which have started to
generate concern, interest and action. AJC is also active on other fronts, as well.
Just below the email you will find the news item which first called this abomination to my attention.
I hope you can enlist Hilary's support (and please give her my personal best). We need, for many reasons, to have the
US protest and condemn this outrageous boycott and to oppose the anti-Semitism inherent in it; cf Durban. The
organizers of the festival must be convinced to reverse themselves. This, because of the inherent wrongness of it and
that if it succeeds, it will encourage and motivate those who fomented the boycott to other, probably even worse,
action. For example, there is in effect or pending (I am not certain which) a UK-Israeli treaty on film production; we
should cut off at the pass any attempts to derail it.

Our Embassy in London does not yet have our Ambassador. The charge d'affaires is Robert Lebaron who I hope will
receive appropriate instructions from DOS. If he acts quickly, it is likely that other nations will follow suit; again,
compare Durban.
This is truly appalling and serious and I earnestly solicit your assistance with the Secretary, and through you my earnest
solicitation of her assistance.
With appreciation and love, Bruce

Edinburgh film festival bows to pressure from Ken Loach over Israeli boycott
Mike Wade
A row threatened to engulf the Edinburgh International Film Festival yesterday after it bowed to pressure from the
director Ken Loach and returned a 300 grant it had received from the Israeli Embassy.
'Sir Jeremy Isaacs, the former chief executive of Channel Four, accused the festival's organisers of making "an appalling
decision" and called on them to rescind it. Describing Loach's intervention as an act of censorship, he said: "They must
not allow someone who has no real position, no rock to stand on, to interfere with their programming."
The grant was intended to enable Tali Shalom Ezer, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, to travel to Scotland for a
screening of her film, Surrogate.
After days of protest against the award from pro-Palestinian organisations, Loach, an outspoken opponent of Israel's
policies in Lebanon and Gaza, urged filmgoers on Monday to boycott Edinburgh.
"The massacres and state terrorism in Gaza make this money unacceptable," he said. "With regret, I must urge all who
might consider visiting the festival to show their support for the Palestinian nation and stay away."

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758579 Date: 06/30/2015
The intervention brought an immediate capitulation from the organisers. In a statement the festival said it accepted that
Loach spoke "on behalf of the film community, therefore we will be returning the funding issued by the Israeli Embassy".
Sir Jeremy said that he was disgusted both by Loach's actions and by the capitulation of the festival organisers. "Ken
Loach has always been critical of censorship of his own work, albeit it was many years in the past. The idea that he
should lend himself to the denial of a film-maker's right to show her work is absolutely appalling," he said. He was
"equally horrified" that festival organisers should accept that Loach was speaking on behalf of all British film-makers.
Sir Jeremy worked closely with Loach in the 1980s when, as chief executive of Channel Four, he commissioned a number
of controversial documentaries from him. One, A Question of Leadership, was made in 1981 but never broadcast,
leading to accusations of political censorship from Loach. The irony of the director's present position was all the more
obvious, given the spirit of the Edinburgh festival, Sir Jeremy said.
"It must be good for cinemagoers at an international film festival to see films by Jews, Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, to
the benefit of all," he said.
"I have admired the Edinburgh International Film Festival for many years and would like to think that this appalling
decision will be rescinded."
Loach's acclaimed new film Looking for Eric has made him the toast of the Cannes Film Festival. It is, uncharacteristically,
a comedy, although its lead character is an authentic Loach creation a Mancunian postman who goes off in search of
his idol, the footballer Eric Cantona.

Dear Cheryl,
Congratulations on the launch of the $20b G8 initiative. This will stand as a historic success of President Obama and
Secretary Clinton. Please do convey my personal congratulations and gratitude to Secretary Clinton if you have a
moment to do so. I know what a key role you personally played in bringing this to fruition.
I would like to suggest one overarching strategy for success.
Please do push hard on the donors (USAID included!) to pool the donor resources into one, at most two, multilateral
funding streams. Certainly the World Bank should be the main spigot, and IFAD possibly a second. By pooling the
resources, we'll cut down BY YEARS on the delays, donor negotiations, further talk, report writing, expert trips, etc., etc.,
which are now the biggest single threat to success of the initiative.
I look forward to a few minutes by phone or in person to offer some tips coming from long years of experience in this
sphere. This can be a real historic path-breaker, if its not swallowed in the agencies!
Warm regards and kudos!
Jeff Sachs

Jim K. sent in some edits in the middle of the night -- strictly designed to trim/improve flow. Think it's worth you flipping
through to see if any strike you as worth making.
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...

It is markedly better. But, as I'm reading thru it, I notice missing words and what appear to be gaps as a result of editing.
Could you pls read carefully and could we talk in about 30 minutes?

I think you'll find this draft much better. But it can still use you!
I will try to give it a "polish" (as they say out here in hollywood). I haven't looked at this latest draft yet, but i

Jim K. sent in some edits in the middle of the night -- strictly designed to trim/improve flow. Think it's worth you flipping
through to see if any strike you as worth making.
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.
OK.
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...

Subject: OpEd I A Dose of Realism in Honsuras By Edward Schumacher-Matos
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case NOTF-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762786 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762786 Date: 06/30/2015
The immediate lesson was to teach Russia to stay out of Georgia and Ukraine. The message, however, also
resonated throughout Latin America, undercutting the polarization efforts of Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez.
That the administration has joined with the Organization of American States in condemning the ouster of
Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has left Chavez puffing a lot of hot air with no one to fight against.
When three Chavez allies -- the presidents of Argentina, Ecuador and Paraguay -- sought unsuccessfully to
escort Zelaya back to Honduras on Venezuelan planes, they looked irresponsible for setting off violence that
resulted in one death. Clinton, meanwhile, working quietly with Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile and other
moderate countries, has brought the two opposing Honduran camps together in a mediation with one of the
grand old men of Latin America, Costa Rican Oscar Arias, a Nobel Peace laureate.
There is now genuine movement toward a peaceful resolution of the crisis.
The United States, long seen as a bully in the region, is suddenly being seen as respectful and wise. The
flummoxed Chavez could only come up with a patently hilarious formula in which the "Yankee empire" was
still the villain in Honduras but Obama may not be responsible because he is more like a prisoner of the
empire."
More fundamentally, Obama and Clinton, perhaps because neither is particularly experienced in Latin America,
have approached the region with fresh eyes and wonder what all the fuss is about. The Moscow speech and their
actions in Honduras underline that the Cold War really is over.
Chavez is a nuisance, but Washington has no enemies in Latin America. Our major interests are immigration,
crime and trade, not ideologies, as much as the extremists on the right and the left there and here might want to
make it so.
So, are we sacrificing Honduras? No. Zelaya is the main culprit in this crisis, but what counts is the rule of law.
His hand has been slapped very hard. Allowing him to serve out the last six months of his term while not
holding the referendum that would have opened the way to succession has a better chance of bringing peace and
stability to the country than the current standoff.
The bigger question will be: What have the rest of us learned? We have all been pushing Latin Americans to
uphold the rule of law, but beyond simply insisting that Zelaya was elected, few in the OAS, the European
Union or other critics have been willing to give much credence to Hondurans for trying to do just that.
The Honduran Supreme Court, as it is empowered to do under the constitution, ordered the army to arrest
Zelaya after he began to carry out a referendum for a constitutional convention that the court, Congress and his
own attorney general said was illegal. Yet, many Latin American and European governments still call it a
"military coup" or, as the Associated Press called it several days afterward, a "military power grab." Clinton and
Obama dropped calling it a coup.
There are gray areas having to do with presidential powers and the fact that the Honduran constitution prohibits
extradition of citizens. The army exiled Zelaya in consultation with civilian leaders to avoid precisely the sort of
violence seen when Zelaya tried to return. He forced the country and its institutions against the wall, and for
that he should take his medicine.

Subject: Palau offended by US positions
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.

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 torn:
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.

By CAROL E. LEE
Tensions between the White House and the NAACP over President Obama.s upcoming address at the
groups 100th ...
....anniversary celebration were *not totally resolved after leaders of the influential civil rights
organization met with two senior White House aides Thursday morning.
*There.s some scheduling adjustments that have to be made,* Julian Bond told POLITICO as he left the
West Wing. But he.s coming..
Bond and Hilary Shelton, the NAACP.s vice president for advocacy, said they met with White House senior
adviser Valerie Jarrett and her chief of staff, Michael Strautmanis.
Bond said the NAACP and the White House have agreed on a date July 16 but have yet to settle on a time
when Obama will address the groups conference. At issue is the venue.
Ideally Obama.s speech would be at a location that makes it easy for everyone to see him* Bond said. So
far the White House has rejected some suggestions including Yankee Stadium citing security reasons, and
there is a dispute over exactly what time he will speak.
*It was a healthy, helpful conversation,. Shelton said of the meeting.
Shelton and Bond said they did not see Obama while they were in the West Wing for roughly 45 minutes.
Attorney General Eric Holder is scheduled to address the NAACP.s conference on July 13, they said, and
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is also trying to schedule in appearance. The conference is being held from
July 11 to 16.
Shelton noted that Obama has not missed an annual NAACP meeting since he was elected to the Senate in

And on his way into the meeting, Bond suggested that Obama has the NAACP to thank for his election to the
presidency.
If it weren.t for the work of the NAACP over the past century, he told Urban Radios April Ryan, .a black
man would not be president of the United States today..

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.

I am sorry to bother you on a weekend, but our mutual friend was kind enough to give me your email address and to suggest that I
send you a copy of the letter concerning INTERPOL that I have drafted for the SOS. Although I have finalized the draft, I can't put it
on INTERPOL letterhead until tomorrow.
The purpose of the letter is to seek a meeting with the SOS at a time and place of her choosing. I will be in Washington this Tuesday
and Wednesday which I know would be too soon to schedule a meeting. But, I can return on April 8th or thereafter if you believe that
a meeting would be possible.
In closing, you know me; so if my request has not been expressed in just the right way, please forgive me.
Let me know what you would like me to do next after reading my letter for the SOS which follows.
Best regards,
Ron
"Madame Secretary,
Under the Obama Presidency and your leadership at the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Government has shifted its strategic focus
from a predominantly military-led approach to one using "smart power" based on diplomacy, defense and development. The direction
you've chosen and the commitments you have made - to international organizations that advance collective security, to embracing and
implementing global solutions to security - are a vast improvement over prior policy and constitute the best approach to safeguarding
the United States and countries around the world against terrorism.
During my eight years as INTERPOL's Secretary General and based on having visited 123 countries to learn firsthand what their
security concerns were and how to best address them, my INTERPOL team and I have identified a number of serious global security
gaps which put Americans and citizens all over the world at risk to acts of terrorism and other serious crimes but which could be easily
closed. Surprisingly, and until now, no government has made INTERPOL and the role of international law enforcement in protecting
its citizens from acts of terrorism a real priority. Consequently, significant gaps in global security remain which require the immediate
attention of Heads of State or Ministers of State, Justice and Interior and the private sector.
These dangerous but resolvable problems include
1.The 850 million international arrivals that pass through the world's airports each year without being checked against the only global
database of over 10 million stolen and lost passports developed and managed by INTERPOL.
2. The culture which discourages countries from issuing international alerts when terrorists escape from prison.
3. The gap in policing where terrorists are arrested without their fingerprints and DNA profiles being compared against global
databases.
4. The failure of far too many countries to notify INTERPOL when their citizens' passports have been reported lost or stolen, which
significantly undermines any screening of passports used to enter the U.S. or other counties.
5. The lack of global anti-crime and anti-corruption centers, which leaves us under-protected against the scourge of human
trafficking, slavery, and other serious transnational crimes.
6. The absence of robust facilities world-wide where police can work, train and exchange information under the umbrella of
INTERPOL.
7. The threat to the rule of law that requires well-trained police at the national and international levels especially in post-conflict
areas like Afghanistan.
INTERPOL has launched its Global Security Initiative in order to enhance support for developing effective and growing programs in
each of these seven areas. Our capacity to address these threats can grow not only with greater resources but also with a larger
personal commitment to the kinds of policies that reflect the direction that you and President Obama have chosen in the name of
national security.
INTERPOL is a global international police organization with 187 member countries. Our Constitution prevents us from getting
involved in matters of a political, religious, military or racial nature. We have one goal and one goal only: to help law enforcement
worldwide keep their citizens and visitors to their country safe from terrorism and other forms of serious international crime.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762902 Date: 06/30/2015
Our successes over the last several years have been nothing short of extraordinary. More terrorists and dangerous international
criminals have been identified, located and arrested than ever before. The security of more borders has been enhanced. More police
information has been exchanged globally. More international pedophiles have been caught. More transnational crime groups have
been exposed.
Against the backdrop of this success, it remains the case that neither Heads of State nor Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Justice and
Interior have made the kind of investment in INTERPOL worldwide that can help to keep their citizens safe at home and
abroad. They should and you can be a leader among them.
It is my strong belief that in your capacity as U.S. Secretary of State, you can show the world that by making INTERPOL an integral
part of the U.S.'s new "smart power" strategy, all of the world's citizens will be safer than they otherwise would be. I would welcome
any opportunity to travel to Washington or anywhere in the world to meet with you to offer recommendations for solving the problems
outlined above and to discuss the range of resources required to meet these challenges.
Sincerely,
Ronald K. Noble
Secretary General
INTERPOL"

John Solomon, Exec Editor of Washington Times and a close personal friend (and always fair to us as AP reporter and
later Wash Post reporter), has called about a Wash Times reporter who is being held by Iranians. He says Greeks have
good relations and he believes they are trying to help. He believes you are meeting with Greek Foreign Minister

Hope you can do this And hope your elbow is better Best wishes,

Honduras regarding events. I have called our Embassy in Costa Rica and asked it to confirm Zelaya's presence in San
Jose. I will be calling the Costa Rican Foreign Minister soon. Tomorrow, Costa Rica takes over as President Pro Temp of
the Central American Integration System.
Hector Morales has been in touch with OAS SecGen Insulza. The OAS Permanent Council passed a resolution on Friday
offering its good offices to Honduras to resolve the political impasse, and Insulza was going to lead a team to Honduras
on Monday. We are checking to determine the state of play of the delegation, but OAS involvement will be key to a
successful resolution of this event.
I will also be calling the new SouthCom Commander to ensure a coordinated U.S. approach. We have big military
equities in Honduras through Joint Task Force Bravo at Soto Cano airbase.
We are working up press points now. Although this morning's events were part of a larger political and institutional
struggle in Honduras. The seizure and expulsion of the President was an intolerable act by the armed forces and we are
going to have to say this loud and clear.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762522 Date: 06/30/2015
What Elliott neglects to mention is that in the letter Bush also re-stated his commitment to the Roadmap ("the
United States remains committed to my vision and to its implementation as described in the roadmap"), which
in stage I states that "Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity (including natural
growth of settlements)."
Elliott then goes on to assert that "On settlements we also agreed on principles that would permit some
continuing growth." His evidence of such an agreement? Exhibit A: A statement by Prime Minister Sharon, not
President Bush: "Mr. Sharon stated these clearly in a major policy speech in December 2003: 'Israel will meet
all its obligations with regard to construction in the settlements. There will be no construction beyond the
existing construction line, no expropriation of land for construction, no special economic incentives and no
construction of new settlements."
Is this extremely experienced lawyer and foreign policy professional seriously arguing that a statement by
Sharon should be understood as an accurate articulation of US policy, even in the absence of any corroborating
statement by the US President? Even when that lengthy policy speech went into a range of issue where - at least
officially - there was public disagreement with the US? (for example, in this same speech Sharon makes clear
Israel views the Roadmap commitments as sequential - the Palestinians do everything they have to do, and only
then does Israel act. ) Apparently so.
But it gets better. For further evidence, Elliott asserts that, really, the US agreed with everything Sharon was
saying. His evidence? Exhibit B: A letter from Arid Sharon's Chief of Staff, Dov Weissglas, Secretary of State
Rice..
It is like saying "your honor, I swear my client did not sideswipe that car in the parking lot. I was there and I
saw the whole thing. And as proof I give you my statement and a statement from my client and his wife, written
to the owner of the damaged car, making clear that they were not the ones who hit his car. I rest my case."
So there are not quotes from President Bush or Secretary Rice to support Elliott's narrative - only statements by
Israeli officials.
But Elliot has more proof to bring before the court: media reports. Exhibit #C: Elliott notes that "Stories in the
press also made it clear that there were indeed 'agreed principles.' On Aug. 21, 2004 the New York Times
reported that 'the Bush administration . . . now supports construction of new apartments in areas already built
up in some settlements, as long as the expansion does not extend outward."
Interesting. So if the NYT reported it, it must be true, right? Or rather, what must be true is that they were
reporting what someone told them, at the time. And according to the first paragraph of the article Elliott cites,
the source is: "American and Israeli officials." Who could these officials be? Could they be Abrams himself
(who at this point can no longer deny that he is personally invested in such a policy), and maybe Dov
Weissglas? There is no way to know, but regardless, this is clearly not definitive proof of anything, other than
the fact that there were Israeli and US officials spinning the story this way.
The rest of Elliott's article is simply hearsay and innuendo, speculation, and conjecture - not a single "fact" that
can be examined, let alone refuted. Elliott rests his case on statements by two Israeli officials who never hid
their desire to do everything possible to keep building West Bank settlements, and press reports based on unnamed US and Israeli officials.
With this kind of evidence, it is hard to see why the jury is still debating this case at all. Clearly the settlers'

And since some of us prefer to rely on facts, rather than clever argumentation and bombastic statements, here
are some actual statements by President Bush about settlements, from the same period Elliott is addressing:
President Bush 9/21/04: "...Israel should impose a settlement freeze, dismantle unauthorized outposts, end the
daily humiliation of the Palestinian people and avoid any actions that prejudice final negotiations..."
President Bush, 11/27/07: "...Israel must demonstrate its support for the creation of a prosperous and successful
Palestinian state by removing unauthorized outposts, ending settlement expansion, and finding other ways for
the Palestinian Authority to exercise its responsibilities without compromising Israel's security."
President Bush, 1/9/2008: " ...The second track is to help both parties deal with road map issues. Settlements is
a road map issue..."
President Bush, 1/10/2008: "...Each side has got obligations under the road map. Settlements are clearly stated
in the road map obligations for Israel. We have made our concerns about expansion of settlements known, and
we expect both parties to honor their obligations under the road map."

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.]

Release Detail
July 7, 2009 - Obama's Approval Drops In Ohio - Critical Swing State, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds;
2010 Senate Race Tips Slightly To Democrats
Word format
President Barack Obama gets a lackluster 49 - 44 percent approval rating in Ohio, considered by many to be the
most important swing state in a presidential election, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
This is President Obama's lowest approval rating in any national or statewide Quinnipiac University poll since
he was inaugurated and is down from 62 - 31 percent in a May 6 survey.
By a small 48 - 46 percen t margin, voters disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy, the
independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. This is down from a 57 - 36 percent approval
May 6. A total of 66 percent of Ohio voters are "somewhat dissatisfied" or "very dissatisfied" with the way
things are going in the state, while 33 percent are "very satisfied" or "somewhat satisfied," numbers that haven't
changed since Obama was elected.
In the race for Ohio's U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring George Voinovich in 2010, Lee Fisher and
Jennifer Brunner remain neck-and-neck for the Democratic nomination and both would defeat any of the GOP
candidates if the election were today.
"The economy in Ohio is as bad as anywhere in America. These numbers indicate that for the first time voters
have decided that President Barack Obama bears some responsibility for their problems," said Peter A. Brown,
assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
"Until now voters have given President Obama high ratings on the economy, blaming former President George
W. Bush for their problems. They might be taking out their frustration on President Obama, possibly deciding
that the change he promised has not come as quickly as they expected."
"Ohio historically has been the prototypical swing state. One of the reasons Barack Obama won the p residency
by such a wide margin is that he carried Ohio with 52 percent of the vote and captured the lion's share of
independent votes," Brown added.

"Now, by a 48 - 46 percent margin, Ohio independent voters give the President a failing grade on the economy.
These numbers indicate that he may be losing, at least for now, some of those who voted for him in November
and should be an indication to the White House that his honeymoon with the voters may be ending."
In the Senate race, Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher holds a 24 - 21 percent lead over Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner in
the race for the Democratic nomination, with 51 percent undecided.
Former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman holds a 33 - 10 percent lead over car dealer Tom Ganley on the Republican
side, with 55 percent undecided.
In general election trial heats, Brunner would defeat Ganley 35 - 31 percent and get 35 percent to Portman's 34
percent. Fisher leads Ganley 36 - 30 percent and Portman 37 - 33 percent.
From June 26 - July 1, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,259 Ohio voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.8
percentage points. The survey includes 483 Democrats with a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points and
445 Republicans with a margin of error of +/-4.7 percentage points.
The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in
Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio and the nation as a public service and for
research. For more data and RSS feed - http://www.quinnipiac.edu/polling.xml, or (203) 582-5201.

"He saved her life," Berger said. "It was a kind of tumultuous scene."
Clinton's White House physician Dr. Connie Mariano said she started out that day worried
about the heat, but wound up concerned about HIV.
"It was steamy, and hot, and miserable," Mariano recalled. "[Ghana's president General
Jerry] Rawlings put a ceremonial robe over [Clinton's] dark business suit and I thought,
'Oh my God, he's going to pass out," she said.
Mariano said the feverish crowd and the scuffle over people being crushed at the front left
the president nicked up.
"He got scratches. His hands were cut because people's nails were scratching him
because they wanted to hold him," she said. "Realize how many HIV-positive people there
were there. ... It was an extremely frightening experience."
As the crowd surged forward, police wielding rubber truncheons slammed them down on
the hands of people holding onto the barricades. The front-line people would jump back,
only to be pushed forward, grab the barricades, and have their hands whacked again.
Reporters offering bottled water to parched Ghanaians nearly triggered a stampede.
"I just remember the mass of flesh. There was like a gazillion people, more than I had ever
seen in my life," said Ann Scales, who covered the event for The Boston Globe.
Clinton's speechwriter that day, Ted Widmer, recalled a feeling of sensory overload.
"It was surreal in many ways just one sensation after the next," he said. "Sweat was
pouring out of every pore in my body. ... I was seeing these people do a lion dance with
deafening drums. ... I've been at plenty of unmemorable political speeches. This one was
carnival-esque and fun."
During the presidential primary campaign last year, Clinton often invoked the memory of
his Accra speech as an example of when he was at his rhetorical peak. "Back when I was
in politics, I was a reasonably good speaker," Clinton told college students in Austin,
Texas last February. "I once spoke to a million people in Ghana."
Estimates of how many people were actually on hand that day vary widely. In Clinton's
book, "My Life," he says "more than half a million people." White House officials speaking
to reporters that day said security aides to Rawlings had also estimated the crowd at more
than 500,000. However, The Associated Press reported that Ghanaian officials put it at
more than 1 million. The New York Times used the half-million estimate, but also reported
that Independence Square, where Clinton spoke, "has a capacity of more than 200,000."
Whatever the true number, Obama isn't trying to top it. He'll address Ghana's parliament,
meet the country's president, and tour a slave fort on Ghana's coast on the final stop of
week-long trip that also takes him to Russia to meet the country's leaders and Italy for a
G-8 summit and to see Pope Benedict XVI.
A senior White House official, speaking on background, said staging Obama's major
speech at the parliament "primarily reflects and emphasizes the importance of different

update: workshop key findings
The Indian Ocean may in the coming decades be the operating area of
SSBNs from countries with limited experience in sustained SSBN patrols, including India, China, and possibly Pakistan.

this region, which means that war at sea always carries with it the risk of escalation to strikes on ground targets in
homeland areas.
The report also offers two scenarios under which the United States may consider engaging militarily in the region.
The first scenario, which concerns a clash between Japan and China in waters claimed by both, compels us to consider:
What the United States would lose if it did not support the
Japanese, and then faced a world in which Japan became either a subordinate power to China or a nuclear armed state,
capable of pursuing its national interest independent of the United States.
The second scenario concerns an American naval blockade of an Iran that has tested a nuclear weapon, potentially
giving rise to an interaction between the United States and China far from the operating bases of each but close to
territory of a client of China, a "blue-brown water" clash. In this scenario, China is using its navy to show presence, and
to force the United States to ask itself whether it wants to go to war with China over a political conflict that is less than
black and white. Thinking about the options that would be left to the United States under these circumstances
underscores how Chinese naval forces may have more political impact by 2025 than a narrow assessment of their
military capabilities would suggest.

found that unfortunately her office would not be able to do so. Happily, Michele Flournoy's office is reaching out and
has asked me to participate in a wargame next week for the QDR, which I hope will help build the foundation for a
contract between her office and LTSG.

Re: Your CFR speech
The draft, sent by separate email, is intended to give you options and ideas. Use as you wish. Several ideas
are at the core of this version: in particular, the concept of the US as a modern global nation and how
that serves our capacity for leadership.
For most policy speeches a generic tone and workmanlike prose are acceptable. But for this one, it is not.
This speech can't afford to be lackluster. It will then be held up in invidious comparison to Obama's
glittering best efforts. Your speech must have, amid the policies, a distinctive and authoritative voice.
Your early draft makes no distinctions between allies or partners; indeed, it barely mentions allies. The early
draft also features a strong malaise theme. Even if rebutted after being raised, the focus is on obstacles
and hindrances, not on achievements, opportunities and what can be achieved. There's no accounting of
progress so far. The effect is downbeat in tone. At the same time, the draft contains passages of vague
and gauzy liberal universalism, while in one line assailing it, an unconvincing juggling act. The notion
that all nations and peoples want the same things as Americans will not fly and is open to derision. It
reflects blithe liberal cultural imperialism, among other things. (See Graham Greene. And, on the
contrary, some nationsand peoplesseek nuclear weapons, like Iran; some don't want to curb global
warming, like China; some don't care about human rights, like most Arab nations; some have contempt
for democracy, including de facto allies like Egypt, not to mention Myanmar; and some are indifferent
to poverty, any number of African kleptocracies.) Also there is some confusion of definitions, for
example, asserting dialogue with adversaries is "strategic engagement," when that is a concept usually
applied to allies and partners.
The speech must be crafted with a sense of real time and cannot be delivered out of sync with it. Slogans
can become shopworn, especially those that lack analytical, historical and descriptive power. What
served you once, at your confirmation, may not serve again in the same way. The most cogent foreign
policy columnists from Clive Crook of the Financial Times to David Rothkopf of Foreign Policy have
already written columns in the last week on the limits of "soft power" (i.e., "smart power") and others I
understand are preparing to make similar criticisms. I would use sparingly or not at all. You do not need

Subject: From Adam Minter's Shanghai Scrap blog
Filed under:Expo 2010, Expo 2010 - US Pavilion, US Politics posted by Adam on July 11, 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 (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,
and elsewhere. And, until two weeks ago, there was absolutely no reason to believe that a participation
agreement would ever be signed. Shanghai Expo, Inc., 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 a point that was picked up by the Chinese media. No doubt, the

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762764 Date: 06/30/2015
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. 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; Shanghai government account here), 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?). 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.]

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, All 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.

You could tell it wasn't going well. The conversations with Medvedev and Putin were tense, the
body language awkward. The speech at the New Economic School laid an egg. The press seemed
bored with the visit of America's rock star president. And as for real results, well, there weren't
any.
Looking for explanations in an article Clifford Levy and Ellen Barry in today's New York Times
called "In Russia, Obama's Star Power Does Not Translate," a range of possible answers were
rolled out: Russians are jaded, Russians don't go for U.S. political posturing, Obama's speeches
don't translate well, and, according to one person who ought to understand politics, a Russian
circus designer, "Russians are the smartest people in the world." (A fact they have carefully
hidden behind a veil of hundreds of years of economic and political catastrophe.)
Somehow, the formula that has been working for Barack Obama since early in 2007 suddenly
seems to have gone cold. It is not enough simply to be him or to roll out Michelle and the girls
(all of whom joined him in Moscow...unlike say, his top two State Department officials). What's
more, it's not just Russia. Oh sure, the press still swoon in most corners of the world and crowds
and political leaders still get all fluttery when first exposed to America's charming, thoughtful,
intelligent, young president. But we are now starting to see what happens when being Barack
Obama is not enough. We are now starting to see the shortcomings of the new administration's
approach wherein the president has actually been the policy.
He has said we had changed and offered himself as evidence. He has been what we have offered

change has been sold as a difference between him and his predecessor, with his speeches
describing what was new and the possibility of interacting with him being the potential pay-off.
This played big during his early trips overseas, the novelty value was high and the eagerness to
move on from the painful prior era was great. At the G20 meeting, at the Summit of the
Americas, in Cairo, the concept of "president as policy" seemed to be working. But now we see
where it is not. Not in Russia. Not with the Iranians who are happy to accept engagement and
anything else that will be given to them but no strings, please Not with Hugo Chavez, who
hammed it up with Obama in Trinidad but led his misfit chorus in reflexively hammering the
United States after the coup in Honduras. Certainly not in North Korea.
It seems that having the president as policy works best with the people who are pre-disposed to
like us and to some extent with the young and the disenfranchised. But with the hard cases, with
our enemies, it falls painfully and dangerously flat.
In these instances, the new president is discovering that something much more than personal
diplomacy and smile from the genuinely appealing Obama clan is needed. In these instances, we
are going to need to go back to the drawing board and do the grunt work of foreign policy, the
tough negotiations, the nuanced position changes, the threats, the cajoling. It's a very different
game from American politics and, in fact, is often completely unconnected to it. What works
here, very often does not play at all overseas.
There is a problem with this new reality. It requires a coordinated, multi-tiered, high-functioning
foreign policy establishment. It needs the State Department to be in a central role. It needs the
NSC to work both as a policy development and policy implementation mechanism and the
National Security Advisor to be seen and respected.. .like the Secretary of State. ..as key advisors.
It requires that the foreign policy of the United States is not centered too heavily either the
president or the executive office of the president -- although the president will always remain the
ultimate key. It is perfectly appropriate for the president to be part of the product, part of the
rewards offered, and the mastermind.. .but he needs to move beyond campaign mode to
something new. It is much akin to the entrepreneur of a successful company recognizing that for
the company to grow further, to become a mature organization, he is going to need a mature
structure that depends less on him and more on delegation of power to effective lieutenants and
their teams.
We're not there yet. The secretary of state and the State Department have been visibly
marginalized. She has become a kind of behind the scenes player. She's not on the Sunday
morning shows. The president or the vice president handles the big media assignments (often not
sounding exactly like they were on the same page). The National Security Advisor, for all his
personal strengths, is viewed as a bit of a lost cause five months into the presidency. One of his
predecessors in the job said to me when asked whether he viewed General Jones as failing in the
job, "to me, on that issue, where there is smoke, there is fire." Tom Donilon, Jones's deputy, is
seen to be managing the NSC process. Denis McDonough.and Mark Lippert, Obama
confidantes, are seen to be working closely with him and his inner office team (Rahm Emanuel,
the VP, David Axelrod, Greg Craig and others) to play the leading role in shaping policy.

Clearly neither Hillary Clinton nor Jim Jones is a weak person. But all power in the U.S. national
security apparatus flows from the president. And there is no denying that, despite the fact that
they show up at work every day and go through the motions, that their roles don't measure up to
many of their predecessors and the structure that is emerging suggests problems to come.
It's time to move out of campaign mode and into governing mode. It's time recognize that it
really does take a big team of empowered leaders to make the complex foreign policy of the U.S.
work and evolve in the right directions. It's time to recognize that it does not reflect badly on the
president if we all agree he cannot transform the world single handedly, that however different
he may be from his predecessors, that alone is not enough.

Foreign Policy
You could tell it wasn't going well. The conversations with Medvedev and Putin were tense, the body language
awkward. The speech at the New Economic School laid an egg. The press seemed bored with the visit of
America's rock star president. And as for real results, well, there weren't any.
Looking for explanations in an article Clifford Levy and Ellen Barry in today's New York Times called "In
Russia, Obama's Star Power Does Not Translate," a range of possible answers were rolled out: Russians are
jaded, Russians don't go for U.S. political posturing, Obama's speeches don't translate well, and, according to
one person who ought to understand politics, a Russian circus designer, "Russians are the smartest people in the

world." (A fact they have carefully hidden behind a veil of hundreds of years of economic and political
catastrophe.)
Somehow, the formula that has been working for Barack Obama since early in 2007 suddenly seems to have
gone cold. It is not enough simply to be him or to roll out Michelle and the girls (all of whom joined him in
Moscow...unlike say, his top two State Department officials). What's more, it's not just Russia. Oh sure, the
press still swoon in most corners of the world and crowds and political leaders still get all fluttery when first
exposed to America's charming, thoughtful, intelligent, young president. But we are now starting to see what
happens when being Barack Obama is not enough. We are now starting to see the shortcomings of the new
administration's approach wherein the president has actually been the policy.
He has said we had changed and offered himself as evidence. He has been what we have offered to friends in
terms of visits, access and calls. He has been the headline grabber, the spokesperson, the new voice of America.
He has enabled the administration to take inherited policies and wrap them in Obama-paper with Obama-glitter
all over it and all of a sudden, the old was repackaged into appearing new. Where there have been differences,
as with the concept of engagement, the change has been sold as a difference between him and his predecessor,

Cheryl and Anne-Marie and Lissa.
While it has improved, it has also grown in length. It is now just a bit shorter than your Senate confirmation
testimony. There are places to cut, but I want you to see it in full so you can make your own assessments.
John Podesta will send a few additional thoughts later today or tomorrow the rest of his comments are captured in

Re: Your CFR speech
1. This draft, sent by separate email, is intended to give you options and ideas. Use as you
wish. Several ideas are at the core of this version: in particular, the concept of the US as a
modern global nation and how that serves our capacity for leadership.
2. For most policy speeches a generic tone and workmanlike prose are acceptable. But for
this one, it is not. This speech can't afford to be lackluster. It will then be held up in
invidious comparison to Obama's glittering best efforts. Your speech must have, amid the
policies, a distinctive and authoritative voice.
3. Your early draft makes no distinctions between allies or partners; indeed, it barely
mentions allies. The early draft also features a strong malaise theme. Even if rebutted
after being raised, the focus is on obstacles and hindrances, not on achievements,
opportunities and what can be achieved. There's no accounting of progress so far. The
effect is downbeat in tone. At the same time, the draft contains passages of vague and
gauzy liberal universalism, while in one line assailing it, an unconvincing juggling act.
The notion that all nations and peoples want the same things as Americans will not fly
and is open to derision. It reflects blithe liberal cultural imperialism, among other things.
(See Graham Greene. And, on the contrary, some nationsand peoplesseek nuclear
weapons, like Iran; some don't want to curb global warming, like China; some don't care
about human rights, like most Arab nations; some have contempt for democracy,
including de facto allies like Egypt, not to mention Myanmar; and some are indifferent to
poverty, any number of African kleptocracies.) Also there is some confusion of
definitions, for example, asserting dialogue with adversaries is "strategic engagement,"
when that is a concept usually applied to allies and partners.
4. The speech must be crafted with a sense of real time and cannot be delivered out of sync
with it. Slogans can become shopworn, especially those that lack analytical, historical
and descriptive power. What served you once, at your confirmation, may not serve again
in the same way. The most cogent foreign policy columnists from Clive Crook of the
Financial Times to David Rothkopf of Foreign Policy have already written columns in
the last week on the limits of "soft power" (i.e., "smart power") and others I understand
are preparing to make similar criticisms. I would use sparingly or not at all. You do not

Dear Nora,
Please pass along the following message to Cheryl.
Thanks,
Jeff Sachs
Dear Cheryl,
Congratulations on the launch of the $20b G8 initiative. This will stand as a historic success of President Obama and
Secretary Clinton. Please do convey my personal congratulations and gratitude to Secretary Clinton if you have a
moment to do so. I know what a key role you personally played in bringing this to fruition.
I would like to suggest one overarching strategy for success.
Please do push hard on the donors (USAID included!) to pool the donor resources into one, at most two, multilateral
funding streams. Certainly the World Bank should be the main spigot, and IFAD possibly a second. By pooling the
resources, we'll cut down BY YEARS on the delays, donor negotiations, further talk, report writing, expert trips, etc., etc.,
which are now the biggest single threat to success of the initiative.
I look forward to a few minutes by phone or in person to offer some tips coming from long years of experience in this
sphere. This can be a real historic path-breaker, if it's not swallowed in the agencies!
Warm regards and kudos!
Jeff Sachs

Subject: From Adam Minter's Shanghai Scrap blog
Filed under:Expo 2010, Expo 2010 - US Pavilion, US Politics posted by Adam on July 11, 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 (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,
and elsewhere. And, until two weeks ago, there was absolutely no reason to believe that a participation
agreement would ever be signed. Shanghai Expo, Inc., 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 a point that was picked up by the Chinese media. 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. 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; Shanghai government account here), 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

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?). 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 self-sufficiency.
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.

Story is out. Richard called again to talk to you about it. Statement is being drafted for your review.
A New York Times reporter who was kidnapped by the Taliban has escaped and made his
way to freedom after more than seven months of captivity in the mountains of Afghanistan
and Pakistan.
David Rohde, along with a local reporter, Tahir Ludin and their driver, Asadullah Mangal,
were abducted outside of Kabul on Nov. 10 while Mr. Rohde was researching a book.
Mr. Rohde was part of the Times reporting team that won a Pulitzer Prize in May for
coverage of Afghanistan and Pakistan last year.
Mr. Rohde told his wife, Kristen Mulvihill, that Mr. Ludin joined him late Friday night in
climbing over the wall of a compound where they were being held in the North Waziristan
region of Pakistan. They found a Pakistani army scout, who led them to a nearby army
base, and on Saturday they were flown to the American Bagram military base in
Afghanistan.
"They just walked over the wall of the compound," said Ms. Muvihill.
Mr. Mangal did not escape with the two other men.
The initial report was that Mr. Rohde was in good health, while Mr. Ludin injured his foot
in the escape.

Until now, the kidnapping has been kept quiet by The Times and other media
organizations out of concern for the men's safety.
"From the early days of this ordeal, the prevailing view among David's family, experts in
kidnapping cases, officials of several governments and others we consulted was that going
public could increase the danger to David and the other hostages. The kidnappers initially
said as much," said Bill Keller, the executive editor of The Times. "We decided to respect
that advice, as we have in other kidnapping cases, and a number of other news
organizations that learned of David's plight have done the same. We are enormously
grateful for their support."
Since the men were abducted, there has been sporadic communication from them and
from the kidnappers.
Ms. Mulvihill expressed relief at the end of the ordeal and gratitude to the many people
official and unofficial who offered information, advice and support.
"The family is so grateful to everyone who has helped the New York Times, the U.S.
government, all the others. Now we just hope to have a chance to reunite with him in
peace," she said.
"We've been married nine months," Ms. Mulvihill added. "And seven of those, David has
been in captivity."
Both Mr. Keller and Mr. Rohde's family declined to discuss details of the efforts to free the
captives, except to say that no ransom money was paid and no Taliban or other prisoners
were released.
"Kidnapping, tragically, is a flourishing industry in much of the world," Mr. Keller said.
"As other victims have told us, discussing your strategy just offers guidance for future
kidnappers."
Mr. Rohde, 41, had traveled to Kabul in early November to work on a book about the
history of American involvement in Afghanistan when he was invited to interview a
Taliban commander. Before setting out, Mr. Rohde instructed The Times's bureau in
Kabul on whom to notify if he did not return. He also indicated that he believed the
interview was important and that he would be all right.
Mr. Rohde joined The Times staff in 1996 after winning a Pulitzer Prize in international
reporting for documenting the massacre of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica.

to Iranian realities and would backfire big time, harming both the reform cause and US interests. Anyway, after
the basket case to which the US Republican Party reduced Iraq, no one in the global South is likely to want
them meddling in their internal affairs.
Reports are streaming in of the arrest of over a hundred opposition figures and of hard line militia men
following protesters home and breaking into their homes to terrorize them. See e.g., Basij paramilitary forces
terrorize residential complex. The Basij militiamen are said to be afraid to come out in numbers during the
opposition demonstrations, but sneak around at night to trail protesters and harass or arrest them.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had met Tuesday morning with the representatives of all four presidential
candidates, urging them to make up but continuing to insist that Alunadinejad was the winner by 24 million to
14 million votes. He portrayed the massive post-election demonstrations and charges of ballot fraud as a minor
tiff.
Gary Sick wonders if Khamenei really is the supreme leader any more, and hints that the hard line tack of
stealing the election was directed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country's religious national
guard.
Reports are coming in from Iran that allege that the regime is tracking down and destroying satellite dishes,
using helicopters for aerial surveillance of neighborhoods and Basij, the right wing militia (sort of like
Mussolini's Black Shirts) to do the breaking and entering. Kindly neighbors who have tried to warn suspected
satellite dish owners that the militiamen were coming have sometimes reportedly themselves been arrested.

In 1994, the two countries agreed to a 50-year option that allows the United States to use Palau for military purposes. That
agreement's economic terms expire in October 2009, and a new economic package for the remaining 35 years is in the
works and has been for some time. But there has never been a mention of $200 million. And no one has even hinted at
linking the deal to Palau's acceptance of the Uighurs. The United States simply offered to pay relocation costs for the
Uighurs of less than $90,000 per person to cover transportation, food, housing and medical help until the men can get
oriented and get jobs.
Palau is a small and peaceful community. Its constitution bans weapons of all kinds. Capital crimes are virtually unknown.
Social life revolves around the family. Children wander from house to house. Could anyone believe that the leaders of
Palau would risk the safety and serenity of their modern Eden in exchange for money? Is it plausible that these close-knit
people would countenance the presence of terrorists in their midst? I can assure you the answer is no.
Last week, the Palauans lowered their flags to half-staff in memory of Sgt. Jasper Obakrairur, a Palauan who joined the
United States Marines and died on June 1 helping to root out the Taliban in Afghanistan. He was the fourth Palauan
serviceman to die in recent years, following his fallen comrades in American uniform Cpl. JayGee Meluat, Cpl.
Meresebang Ngiraked and Specialist Philton Ueld. The people of Palau are very proud of them, and of our country's special
relationship with the United States. Can't Americans be proud of the relationship, too?
Stuart Beck is Palau's permanent representative to the United Nations.

More Gay Donors Drop Out of DNC Fundraiser, Protesting Justice Department Brief
June 18, 2009 2:30 PM
"This is not appropriate time" for the Democratic party to be hitting up gays and lesbians for money, says
Richard Socarides, a former Special Assistant to President Clinton, who's not attending next week's lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee.
Socarides tells ABC News that many members of the LGBT community are troubled by a brief filed by
President Obama's Justice Department last week that argued. too vociferously, many believe against
same sex marriage.
"The brief was very troubling to a lot of people and rightfully so," Socarides says. "Supporters of the
Democratic party and others who feel that gay and lesbian equality is an important issue for this administration
to address are rightly concerned about this brief. Serious issues still need clarification."
Socarides says that even though President Obama yesterday signed a presidential memorandum extending
some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees, he was also aware of what the President did not do.
"The president did not last night address what direction he would give the Justice Department when these issues
come up in the future, he did not address the continued discharges of gay people from the military."
Socarides is just the latest in a list of prominent gay and lesbian Democrats withdrawing their
support from the DNC event. Others include David Mixner, another former adviser to President Clinton; Andy
Towle; and Alan Van Capelle, executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda and Foundation.
And you can, as John Aravosis notes, add Vermont state senate president pro tern Peter Shumlin to the list of
prominent gay and lesbian Democrats who will not be attending.
"One thing I have learned dealing with marriage equality in Vermont is that we all have a responsibility to stand
up for the civil rights of all Americans," Shumlin said yesterday, according to the Times-Argus. "This
memo from the Justice Department is more Bush than Bush. It takes the only minority group left in America
that national politicians can publicly discriminate against and still see their numbers go up in the polls and it
reinforces the horrible stereotypes about our friends and neighbors."
And add gay Democratic donor Bruce Bastian, who told the Washington Blade he "will continue to support
certain congressmen, congresswomen and senators whom I believe will continue to fight for our rights, but I

don't think blanket donations to the Democratic Party right now are justified, at least not in my book." He said
he found the filing "very offensive."
"The administration has said they have to support the federal government's stance," he said. "But in the brief,
they go way beyond where they need to go to just defend DOMA. They basically go to terminology and
language that you would expect from the Bush administration, not the Obama administration."
Others include National Gal, and Lesbian Task Force executive director Rea Carey who decried "the
malicious and outrageous arguments and language used in the Department of Justice's marriage brief are only
serving to inflame and malign the humanity of same-sex couples and our families," and the Human Rights
Campaign's national field director Marty Rouse, who told the Blade that he "like many people, personally
offended by the words used in the [Justice Department] brief to defend DOMA. And I just can't see right now
attending a fundraiser for the DNC at this time."

Kurtzer
Just wanted to be sure you saw the Kurtzer op-ed, which ran Sunday in the Post. Kudos to Jonathan Prince for
getting this written and placed.
By Daniel Kurtzer
Sunday, June 14, 2009
Faulty analysis of the Israeli settlement issue is being passed off as fact. Charles Krauthanuner's June 5 column,
"The Settlements Myth," is one example.
Here are the facts: In 2003, the Israeli government accepted, with some reservations, the "road map" for peace,
which imposed two requirements on Israel regarding settlements: "GO! [Government of Israel] immediately
dismantles settlement outposts erected since March 2001. Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all
settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements)."
Today, Israel maintains that three events -- namely, draft understandings discussed in 2003 between Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon and U.S. deputy national security adviser Stephen Hadley; President George W. Bush's
April 14, 2004, letter to Sharon; and an April 14 letter from Sharon adviser Dov Weissglas to national security
adviser Condoleezza Rice -- constitute a formal understanding in which the United States accepted continuing
Israeli building within the "construction line" of settlements. The problem is that there was no such
understanding.
The first event the Israelis cite is the 2003 discussions on a four-part draft that included the notion that
construction within settlements might be permitted if confined to the already built-up areas of the settlements.
The idea was to draw a line around the outer perimeter of built-up areas in settlements and to allow building
only inside that line. This draft was never codified, and no effort was made then to define the line around the
built-up areas of settlements. Nonetheless, Israel began to act largely in accordance with its own reading of
these provisions, probably believing that U.S. silence conferred assent.
Second, President Bush's 2004 letter conveyed U.S. support of an agreed outcome of negotiations in which
Israel would retain "existing major Israeli population centers" in the West Bank "on the basis of mutually
agreed changes. . . ." One of the key provisions of this letter was that U.S. support for Israel's retaining some
settlements was predicated on there being an "agreed outcome" of negotiations. Despite Israel's contention that
this letter allowed it to continue building in the large settlement blocs of Ariel, Maale Adumim and Gush
Etzion, the letter did not convey any U.S. support for or understanding of Israeli settlement activities in these or
other areas in the run-up to a peace agreement.
In his 2004 letter to Rice, Weissglas addressed the issue of the "construction line," saying that "within the
agreed principles of settlement activities, an effort will be made in the next few days to have a better definition
of the construction line of settlements in Judea & Samaria." However, there never were any "agreed principles
of settlement activities." Moreover, the effort to define the "construction line" was never consummated: Israel
and the United States discussed briefly but did not reach agreement on the definition of the construction line of

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762349 Date: 06/30/2015
settlements. Weissglas's letter also promised "continuous action" to remove all the unauthorized outposts, but
Israel removed almost none of them.
Throughout this period, the Bush administration did not regularly protest Israel's continuing settlement activity.
But this is very different from arguing that the United States agreed with it. In recent days, former senior Bush
administration officials have told journalists on background that no understandings existed with Israel regarding
continued settlement activity.
Commentators also focus on the Obama administration's reiteration that a freeze must include the "natural
growth" of settlements. Krauthammer says that this "means strangling to death the thriving towns close to the
1949 armistice line. . . It means no increase in population. Which means no babies." This is nonsense. No one
suggests that Israelis stop having babies. Rather, the blessing of a new baby does not translate into a right to
build more apartments or houses in settlements. The two issues have nothing to do with each other. Israelis, like
Americans, move all the time when life circumstances -- children, jobs, housing availability -- change.
The pattern of population growth in the territories actually undercuts the natural-growth argument. Since 1993,
when Israel signed the Oslo Accords, Israel's West Bank settler population has grown from 116,300 to 289,600.
The numbers in East Jerusalem increased from 152,800 to more than 186,000. This goes far beyond the natural
increase of families already living in the settlements. Inserting the provision of "natural growth" in official
documents started with the 2001 Mitchell Report and the 2003 "road map," reflecting recognition that the
concept was being abused as a justification for expanding settlements. The Obama administration is pursuing
policies that every administration since 1967 has articulated -- that settlements jeopardize the possibility of
achieving peace and thus settlement activity should stop. This does not diminish the Palestinians'
responsibilities, especially their commitment to stop violence and terrorism and uproot terrorist infrastructure.
President Obama emphasized this in his Cairo speech. But Palestinian failures in no" way justify Israeli failure to
implement their road map commitments with respect to settlements and outposts. It is time for Israel to freeze
all settlement activity and dismantle the unauthorized outposts.
The writer, US. ambassador to Israel from 2001 to 2005, is a visiting professor of Middle East policy studies at
Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Longtime journalist and former Clinton White House advisor Sidney Blumenthal will become a special advisor
without portfolio to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, The Cable has learned. Blumenthal refused to comment.
But sources say he is filling out the paperwork and disentangling himself from other obligations as he moves to
become a special advisor to the secretary whose presidential campaign he helped advise. The position would
not require Senate confirmation.
Clinton, who is recovering from surgery to repair a broken elbow, has been building her team at the State
Department, while establishing her credentials as a team player supporting and amplifying her former
presidential rival's foreign-policy vision. Sources close to her says she will prove indispensable to Obama, a
point several Obama aides also made to Politico's Ben Smith in a piece noting the relatively background role
she has played in these early months. The planned addition of Blumenthal, a longtime confidant of the Clinton
family and a fierce defender of Bill Clinton's presidential legacy, could indicate she plans to raise her profile.
(Blumenthal is probably Clinton's best speechwriter, a friend notes.)
In the foreign-policy arena, Blumenthal advised former President Clinton on U.S.-British relations, and first
introduced him to future British Prime Minister Tony Blair. He has also been active in the Third WayProgressive Governance process. A former Washington Post reporter, Blumenthal has contributed
commentary and editorial advice to Vanity Fair, Tina Brown's new online magazine The Daily Beast, the New
Yorker, and Salon. Blumenthal has also been a fellow at New York University's Center on Law and Security.

President Obama's choice as chief of protocol for the State Department, a position that carries the
status of an ambassadorship, did not file tax returns for 2005 and 2006, errors she corrected last
November.
The nominee, Capricia Penavic Marshall, has placed blame for the problem on the Postal Service and
on miscommunication between her husband and their accountant.
Ms. Marshall, who was a social secretary in the Clinton White House, notified the Obama
administration about the late filings before she was nominated on May 14. She has since provided
written answers to questions about the matter from Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the top
Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, which will hold a hearing on the appointment next
Wednesday. The post requires Senate confirmation.
Tax issues have bedeviled several high-level Obama appointees and cost the administration at least
two of its picks.

Ms. Marshall, a graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law, may fare better because,
after ultimately filing the 2005 and 2006 federal and local paperwork, she was entitled to $37,259 in
refunds, according to information she provided to Mr. Lugar.
The nominee and her husband, Dr. Robert Marshall, a Washington cardiologist, did not return calls
seeking comment, nor did a White House spokesman.
Besides the president's support, Ms. Marshall appears to enjoy the strong endorsement of Secretary of
State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. Ms. Marshall worked on their
campaigns and was most recently executive director of Mrs. Clinton's political action committee,
Hillpac.
In her written answers and in accounts she gave to government officials, Ms. Marshall has said the
errors were inadvertent. She has said that her husband failed to recognize that the couple's
accountant had included the tax returns for 2005 in a binder he provided with copies of the returns,
and that the actual paperwork was never mailed.
The couple learned something was awry, Ms. Marshall has said, when the Internal Revenue Service
notified them last fall that their 2006 return had never arrived. She wrote that an agent "advised us
that there were a large number of tax returns misplaced by the D.C. post office for the 2006 tax year."
That call led the couple to the discovery that the authorities had no record of their returns for 2005
and 2006. No late fees or penalties were assessed when they later submitted the returns.
The protocol chief customarily helps plan events for visiting leaders and helps oversee protocol
matters for the president and vice president abroad.

Dear Hillary,
Hope you are resting comfortably. Please take this as an excuse to get much needed rest. Lots of
people have expressed best wishes for you to me--Sean Wilentz, Joe Conason, Gene Lyons, etc--so
if they haven't contacted you because you're behind a wall you should know that many, many people
are thinking about you now.
I spoke this morning to Gary Sick, who, you recall, was senior person on NSC during the Iran hostage
crisis, and is now at Columbia. He has one of the best intelligence networks on Iran, 1,500 people,
experts with extensive contacts, and many Iranians, deeply embedded in the unfolding events
Gary tells me that Mousavi has evolved from a mild-mannered
reformer to directly challenging the regime. Nobody, he says, knows where this will go, certainly not
the Iranians. Khamenei has exposed himself and lost his aura of mystification, plunging into the arena
as a political player. Mousavi has issued a new revolutionary manifesto, just translated; I enclose
below Sick's report and analysis on it. This poses, Sick says, a new challenge to Khamenei. Does he
let it stand? Does he answer it? Sick also says US diplomacy in fact can't accomplish anything with
the regime until the crisis completely works its way out, which could take years. He points out that the
first mass demonstrations against the Shah occurred a full year before his overthrow. He adds that
the one thing the regime has learned fro m the Shah is not to be equivocal toward demonstrations.
Two ideas, who knows, but here they are: 1. Though the regime uses Western protests to consolidate
control, some of them contribute to its deep crisis of legitimacy. Sick says Obama's statement, for
example, was good. He also cites a statement from Ban Ki Moon. If there would be a UN action,
shouldn't it focus ont he human rights/violence aspect? A statement and/or resolution urging the
regime to stop illegitimate violence of paramilitary militias? US shouldn't initiate. 2. Establish linkage
in negotiations with Russians on Start between their objections to missile defense outposts in Poland
and Czech Republic (especially if we plan to give them up) with Russian arms sales to Iran.
Get well. See Sick analysis below.

New Revolutionary Manifesto

Alfred, Sipa / AP Photo The Iranian protest movement reached a tipping point today, writes Gary Sick,
the key White House offical during the 1979 hostage crisis, and what has emerged is nothing short of a platform for
a true Islamic democracy.
Plus, read more insight on Iran's election from other Daily Beast writers.
Today, Mir Hossein Mousavi, the presidential candidate who has come to represent the democratic aspirations
of the Iranian people, issued a formal statement.

Although he denounces the "lies and fraud" of the leadership, particularly in the recent election, he views the
fraudulent election as only as the symptom of something far more serious. He describes a revolution gone
wrong, a revolution that was originally based on attention to the voice of the peo ple but has resulted in "forcing
an unwanted government on the nation."
It is apparent from this statement that Mousavi's movementand Mousavi himselfhave evolved enormously
in the past week.
This moment is "a turning point," he says, and he defines the movement that is forming around him as having a
"historical mission" to accomplish nothing less than "renewing the life of the nation" according to its own
ideals.
He acknowledges, interestingly, that his own voice at the beginning was less "eloquent" than he would have
wished and that the people were ahead of him in turning the movement green. But now he accepts the "burden
of duty put on our shoulders by the destiny of generations and ages."
He denounces both extremes of the political spectrum: on one hand those who believe that "Islamic government
is the same as Tyranny of the Rightful;" and on the other, those who "consider religion and Islam to be blockers
for realization of republicanism," i.e. those who believe that democracy is incompatible with Islam.
Mousavi says his call for annulment of the election and a revote, supervised by an impartial national body, "is a
given right." The objective is nothing less than "to achieve a new type of political life in the country."
That is truly a revolutionary statement. He says he will stand by the side of all those seeking "new solutions" in
a n on-violent way. He accepts the principles and the institutions of the Islamic Republic, including the
Revolutionary Guard and the basij, but denounces "deviations and deceptions." He demands reform "that
returns us to the pure principles of the Islamic Revolution."
He calls for freedom of expression in all its forms, and says that if the government permits people to express
their views freely, "there won't be a need for the presence of military and regulatory forces in the streets."
It is apparent from this statement that Mousavi's movementand Mousavi himselfhave evolved enormously
in the past week. The candidate started as a mild-mannered reformer. After the searing events of the past several
days, he has dared to preach a counter sermon to Khamene'i's lecture on Islamic government. Although he never
mentions the Leader by name, there is no overlooking the direct contradiction of his arguments. This open
opposition to the Leader by a political figure is unprecedented.
Mousavi has in fact issued a manifesto for a new vision of the Islamic Republic. The repression and disdain of
the government has brought the opposition to a place they probably never dreamed of going. And no one knows
where any of the parties are likely to go next.
But for outside observers, it is like standing on the edge of a glacier and feeling the ice begin to crack under
your feet.

Nora,
Just to close the loop, I did meet w/ Jeffrey Romoff and his team on Wed
afternoon. They gave a very impressive into on what the University
Medical Center of Pittsburgh (UPMC) is doing in Southern Italy. They are
already getting a lot of political support from our Emb in Rome and are
grateful for it.
I gave them some practical suggestions on other levers in the USG that
they could pull (TDA, OPIC, Commerce Advocacy Center).
They want the Secretary will make some positive reference to Berlusconi in
Italy this summer of their interest in working the GOI to build a
lab/production facility for developing vaccines for H1N1 and other
infectious diseases. They also note the coincidence of the G20 mtng in
Pittsburgh later this summer. I made no commitment. But I do believe this
is a genuinely positive program and our Emb agrees.
I did pass their materials to David Thorne and urged him to be in
touch. He said he would engage, once/if he is confirmed.

specialized services to Sicily, reducing costs to the nation of "exporting" patients who need transplants, and as
an economic driver for the region. Based on the success of ISMETT, UPMC is now working with
the Italian government and an alliance of educational institutions to construct RIMED, a Biomedical Research

Prime Minister Berlusconi is very much tied to the American agenda and would likely be interested in
developing and funding a companion vaccine manufacturing facility- (600 million Euros,) under UPMC
management, which would serve not only to enhance the strategic defense relationship between Italy and the
United States, but also demonstrate that the Prime Minister is responsive to the increasing public concern
regarding H1N1. It can be an economic driver to both countries, as well. Italy has close ties in the
Mediterranean basin and northern Africa, in particular, and producing vaccines for these countries is desirable
in keeping with the new US. Global Health Care Initiative. Thus, for both substantive and strategic/political
reasons, the 21CB vaccine facility should be exceedingly attractive to Italy.
As importantly, the economic gains for UPMC and the western region of Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) are
very significant. As the largest employer in western Pa. , the Region depends on UPMC's
economic vitality. Excess revenue (profits) gained from exporting the intellectual and managerial capital
cultivated and developed in Pittsburgh to Italy and abroad, serve to create jobs and growth at home. Given
the unique expertise of UPMC and the international focus on health care reform, this is potentially a multibillion dollar export industry bring both funds and prestige to the United States.

Hi Cheryl. You may not remember me, but we were at Stanford together. I saw a statement from you on
CNN.com regarding Secretary Clinton's fractured elbow, so I went to our global address list, and voilathere
you are! You were a year or two ahead of me (I was class of 1991), but I distinctly remember being in Crim
Pro with you when the inimitable Barbara Babcock talked about your "friend" Wynton Marsalis being stopped
by the police!
Congratulations on your current position. You are really doing Stanford proudI was watching the Clinton
impeachment hearings with friends when you were testifying and shouted, "Oh my GodI went to law school
with her!"
I can't tell you how thrilled we in the field are to have an administration we can be proud of again (I came in
during Bill Clinton's presidency, and it has been a rough eight years). As you may be learning, Foreign Service
Officers are overwhelmingly liberal democrats. At my post of 20 American officers, there are only two avowed
republicans (although there may be a few closet cases). We all watched the election returns together, and we
cheered, cried and hugged when Mr. Obama was announced the winner. Obviously, we are also thrilled to
have Hillary as our new Secretary of State.
I tried to write Secretary Clinton a message when she first announced benefits for same-sex partners
expressing my extreme gratitude. I have been with my partner for the last 14 years, and he has basically given
up his career to follow me around the world. It has been challenging but we've managed to survive. Below is
my original message, which I doubt Secretary Clinton ever actually received:

I had decided long ago to retire in 2014 after twenty years of service. I love my job as a Management Officer, but my
partner and I had grown tired of struggling with a bureaucracy that essentially denied his existence. I had planned to

follow his career as an academic, where I could be officially recognized as his partner and receive benefits through his
employer.
The announcement that the State Department will now extend benefits to same-sex partners has made us re-evaluate our
future plans. After several long discussions over the past few days, we have decided that I will stay in the Foreign Service
indefinitely and my partner will follow me, finding teaching jobs wherever I am posted. This is not only about the benefits
themselves, which are of course most welcome. It is also the fact that my partner, who has been officially invisible all of
these years, is now recognized and respected as an equal member of the Foreign Service family.
I have much more to contribute to the Service, and I look forward to a long and successful career with my partner at my
side. Once again, my heartfelt thanks to Secretary Clinton for making our dream a reality.
Best regards,

If you ever have the chance, I would very much appreciate it if you could thank Secretary Clinton on my
behalf. As I said in my letter, the extension of benefits to my partner has made me decide to stay in the
Foreign Service. I don't mean to be immodest, but I'm a good officerand the Foreign Service will get the
benefit of my talents for many years to come thanks to Secretary Clinton!
Again, congratulations on your illustrious career.

Best analysis so far of Iranian vote. Sid
Yesterday, June 21, Chatham House in UK published a detailed study of the Iranian vote, concluding
from close analysis that the election results were a fraud. This is the most definitive objective analysis
so far. Sid

centrist voters, and all new voters, but also up to 44% of former
Reformist voters, despite a decade of conflict between these two
groups.
In 2005, as in 2001 and 1997, conservative candidates, and
Ahmadinejad in particular, were markedly unpopular in rural areas.
That the countryside always votes conservative is a myth. The claim
that this year Ahmadinejad swept the board in more rural provinces
flies in the face of these trends.
Preliminary Analysis of Voting Figures in Iran's 2009 Presidential Election
www.chathamhouse.org.uk 3
1. Irregularities in Voter Turnout
Two provinces show a turnout of over 100% and four more show a turnout of
over 90%. Regional variations in participation have disappeared. There is no
correlation between the increase in participation, and the swing to
Ahm adinejad.
Firstly, across the board there is a massive increase in turnout, with several
provinces increasing their participation rate by nearly 75%. This increase
results in substantially less variation in turnout between provinces, with the
standard deviation amongst provincial turnouts falling by just over 23% since
2005. The 2005 results show a substantial turnout gap, with seven provinces
recording turnout below 60%, and ten above 70%. In 2009, only two were
below 70% and 24 were above 80%. In fact, 21 out of 30 provinces had
turnouts within 5% of 83%. The data seems to suggest that regional variations
in participation have suddenly disappeared.
This makes the evident lack of any sort of correlation between the provinces
that saw an increase in turnout and those that saw a swing to Ahmadinejad
(Fig.1) all the more unusual. There is no significant correlation between the
increase in participation for a given province and the swing to Ahmadinejad
(Fig.1). This lack of correlation makes the argument that an increase in
participation by a previously silent conservative majority won the election for
Ahmadinejad somewhat problematic.
Furthermore, there are concerns about the numbers themselves. Two
provinces, Mazandaran and Yazd, have results which indicate that more votes
were cast on 12 June than there were eligible voters and that four more
provinces had turnouts in the mid-nineties.
In a country where allegations of 'tombstone voting' the practice200f using the
identity documents of the deceased to cast additional ballots are both longstanding
and widespread, this result is troubling but perhaps not unexpected.
This problem did not start with Ahmadinejad; according to official statistics
gathered by the International institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance
in Stockholm, there were 12.9% more registered voters at the time of
Mohammed Khatami's 2001 victory than there were citizens of voting age.
In conclusion, a number of aspects of the reported turnout figures are
problematic. The massive increases from 2005, the collapse of regional
variations, and the absence of any clear correlation between increases in
turnout and increased support for any candidate on their own make the results
problematic.

example, they were an important segment of Khatami's vote in 1997 and 2001
and voted largely for Karrubi and Mostafa Moin in 2005.
The 2009 data suggests a sudden shift in political support with precisely these
rural provinces, which had not previously supported Ahmadinejad or any other
conservative (Fig.5) showing substantial swings to Ahmadinejad (Fig.6). At the
same time, the official data suggests that the vote for Mehdi Karrubi, who was
extremely popular in these rural, ethnic minority areas in 2005, has collapsed
entirely even in his home province of Lorestan, where his vote has gone from
440,247 (55.5%) in 2005 to just 44,036 (4.6%) in 2009. This is paralleled by
an overall swing of 50.9% to Ahmadinejad, with official results suggesting that
he has captured the support of 47.5% of those who cast their ballots for

voters is out of step with previous trends, extremely large in scale, and central
to the question of why (or indeed whether) he won in June 2009.

Yesterday's groundbreaking move by President Obama to provide some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees came to
fruition in large part due to Secretary of Clinton, who first put the issue on the table.
It is unclear whether the Obama administration came to office planning to offer government-wide benefits to domestic partners of civil
service employees, but Clinton, a longtime advocate of gay rights, was on it day one. Since President Obama named her as his pick for
Secretary of State in November, Clinton's transition staff and the State Department had been working with members of the American
Foreign Service Association and the group GLIFAA (Gays & Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies) on what could be done to extend
benefits to domestic partners of diplomats serving abroad.
At her very first senior staff meeting Clinton instructed the State Department to review whether she had the authority to extend
benefits to same-sex domestic partners. About a week later a gay employee asked Clinton during a town hall with employees to
eliminate discrimination against same sex partners. The Secretary of State drew loud applause when she said the issue was "of real
concern" to her, and that she was already working on it.
Several weeks ago, a memo to employees from Clinton instituting the changes was leaked to the press. Clinton's aides at the time said
the memo was a draft, and that Clinton couldn't change policies without an "interagency review" of the issue to make sure State
Department actions wouldn't negatively affect other agencies. But the memo seemed to light a fire under the administration, which
quickly caught up to Clinton's lead.

Still, the health benefits announced Wednesday for same sex partners of non-State Department civil employees is a drop in the bucket
compared to the long list of other benefits the State Department extended to the gay partners of US diplomats serving abroad. In
addition to health benefits and access to medical and emergency evacuation, domestic partners will also get diplomatic passports,
training at the Foreign Service Institute and housing allowances. Same sex partners will get the same preference for US embassy jobs
that spouses currently enjoy, and the State Department will now work with foreign governments to provide same-sex domestic
partners, to the extent possible, with diplomatic visas, work permits and other privileges, including diplomatic immunity. The State
Department will even pay for them to fly home if a relative is gravely ill. Few of these benefits are currently offered to domestic
partners.
Although the Foreign Service has difference rules and regulations which allow the State Department to do more in the first place,
Clinton extended the full range of legally available benefits and allowances to same sex partners of members of the Foreign Service.
In a statement issued Thursday acknowledging the support partners provide to overseas posts, Clinton said, "domestic partners of
federal employees have for too long been treated unequally."
Clinton knows the move is also good business. Today's US diplomats serving around the world are increasingly having to shed their
pinstripe suits and get dirty in the field, which requires a whole different skill set. These days the State Department is competing for
the same Arabic and Farsi speakers and technology gurus as top notch multinational companies, where domestic partner benefits and
allowances are increasingly the norm. Clinton herself noted if the State Department wants to remain a "word class employer" which
attracts and retains high caliber personnel, the change is "the smart thing to do."

FYI, Gary Sick's latest analysis on Iran below (posted on his blog). Sick has independent sources and
is very well informed.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762421 Date: 06/30/2015
On the other side, the very little evidence we have suggests that the important decisions are being made
by the ultra-conservative leadership of the Revolutionary Guards, whose political role has ballooned over
the past decade, perhaps in cooperation with their extremist counterparts in the clergy. They are utterly
ruthless and ideologically fueled.
New York Times columnist Nick Kristoff reminded us several days ago (see blog item on June 15 below)
at the end of the day, as I saw at Tiananmen 20 years ago, when Might and Right do battle, it's often prudent
to bet on Might, at least in the short run.
The regime seems to have miscalculated badly. They seemed to believe that a sudden coup the
announcement of dramatic election results followed by a show of force would intimidate and silence the
opposition and consolidate their control. That is perhaps more understandable if the decisions were being
made by military leaders who tend to see the battle in Manichaean terms, rather than politicians such as
IChamene'i who are accustomed to seeing shades of gray. In any event, it b ackfired and they now have a
much larger crisis on their hands than if they had simply arranged for Ahmadinejad to win by a slim
margin (which was at least believable).
All parties are now in uncharted territory. A significant portion of the Iranian population seems to have
concluded that their social contract with the rulers accepting Islamic rule in return for a respectful
regard for the opinion of the governed, an Islamic Republic is no longer valid. They do not trust their
rulers.
The rulers, whose support has been declining for years in the face of their own inept management of the
country, are increasingly replacing popular support with repression. This election seems to have called
that tactic into question. For the military, the obvious answer is more repression. So it would appear to
be a moment to bet on Might.
But nobody is fully in command of events. Decisions taken in the next weeks will be fateful and could
determine the future path of the Iranian revolution.
There is another lesson as Iran's leaders contemplate a Tiananmen moment. When the Tiananmen
crackdown occurred almost exactly ten years ago, one of the leaders of China at the time was Zhao
Ziyang, General Secretary of the Communist Party. He was later fired and placed under house arrest.
His smuggled memoirs have just appeared, revealing the depth of disagreements within the lea dership
about how to proceed.
Is it possible that ten years from now we will have a volume describing the intense debates that one can
only presume are underway today in the highest councils of the Islamic Republic of Iran?

Cheryl
We are gathering info on the memo on the participation agreement which I will have up to you soon. It has taken a bit
to get the right people to answer the specific questions you asked about previous agreements.
In regard to the plan memo, we will have a more detailed plan for you tomorrow. We have been waiting for the
recommendations of the new structural group that was set up in NYC last Friday afternoon (Lanny, the Chamber of
Commerce, the Committee of 100, and others). We are getting a de-brief on their plans and new structure tomorrow.
In our calls to GE's Jeff Immelt, the Chamber, and others we learned that it would not be viable to get 20 CEO's into
Washington with such short notice. The Secretary called us in last Friday and said that she was game for doing some
additional calls which everyone in the business community thinks is a more efficient way to get this done. We are
holding a meeting on Friday with the business community (up to 75 Washington reps) and would follow it up with
individual assignments. We could still build an event with CEOs around late July Strategic Dialogue.
We will get you a more detailed plan with all of the potential events and assignments.

Secretary Clinton's remarks at her Friday press conference with the Turkish Foreign Minister continued this
Administration's excellent efforts to restore the credibility of the U.S. with Greece and Cyprus which will lead to
important progress in the region.
As you know, the Bush Administration consistently hid and defended actions by Turkey that were injurious to Cyprus and
Greece, inconsistent with American values and principals, and also not in Turkey's best interests.
We highlighted for the top leaders in our community that Secretary Clinton once again in front of the Turkish Foreign
Minister, called for a "bi-zonal and bi-communal federation" for Cyprus as well as expressed the United States' strong
support for "freedom of religion."
With Secretary Clinton and others doing these kinds of things, America is moving to correct the biggest road block to a
Cyprus settlement restoring American credibility with the Greek-Cypriots which was badly lost during the Bush
Administration.
Keep up the great work!

Now, we obviously already collaborate. Not only are we both members of NATO, but we are working with the G-20 to respond to the
global economic crisis, we're exploring ways to enhance our trade and commerce between our two countries, we're working to develop
new energy sources, including resources from the Caucasus and Central Asia. We're partners in the fight against global terrorism. We
share the goal of a stable Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to deny al-Qaida safe haven that can threaten our countries and many others.
We support Turkey in its fight against the terrorist activities of the PKK, which has been a very important cooperation.
And I underscored again today the United States' strong support for Turkey's bid to become a member of the European Union. Turkey
has made significant progress toward membership. It's been in a process of reform that is generated by its own internal decisions but
which has certainly responded to many of the concerns regarding the strength of the bid that Turkey had. And so we applaud what
Turkey has already done and pledge our efforts to continue working with Turkey.
And so we ranged across a broad number of issues, and I want to just make a special note. As President Obama said yesterday in
Cairo, the United States is committed to broad engagement with Muslims everywhere across the globe based on mutual interests and
mutual respect. We believe strongly in the freedom of religion and expression, in vibrant civil societies, and we know that
those are values that Turkey shares.
And I want to thank the minister and his government for the role that Turkey plays as a force for peace and stability. This is important,
and it's already been demonstrated in the work that Turkey has done for a number of years and continues with respect to
comprehensive peace in the Middle East. And we are strongly supportive of the Turkish efforts to normalize relations with Armenia, and
we are also very strongly supportive of the efforts to resolve the Nagomo-Karabakh conflict.
We discussed Cyprus, which is an issue that the President also addressed when he was in Turkey in April. The two Cypriot leaders
have an opportunity through their commitment to negotiations under the United Nations Good Offices Missions, and the United States is
willina to help the parties. We want to work toward a settlement that reunifies Cyprus into a bi-zonal and bi-communal federation.
We discussed many, many concerns, and I'm just grateful for the commitment by the minister and by his government to play an active
role in our dynamic world. Our relationship is not just about security; it is about seizing these opportunities, and I look forward to
working with you.

Subject: Kyrgyzstan rejects Obama "cooperation" offer
Kyrgyzstan will not reverse its decision to close a U.S. military air base which is used to supply American troops for
Afghanistan occupation, Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbayev said on Thursday. U.S. President Barack Obama
has sent a personal appeal to Kyrgyzstan proposing ways to discuss "expanding cooperation".
But Bakiyev's office said in a statement it had received a letter from Obama praising bilateral relations. "Moreover,
Barack Obama expressed hope to further strengthen various forms of cooperation between the United States and
Kyrgyzstan," the statement said without mentioning the air base issue. "The decision to annul all agreements on the
Manes military air base has been taken and there is no turning back on this," he told the 24.kg news agency.

Gordon survives...
The Parliamentary Labour Party meeting is just Over. Gordon has survived. The event, held in private,
was high drama and anticlimax at once. The chair asked for rebels to come forward and speak. Only
one prominent person emerged, Charles Clarke, former Home Secretary and Blairite; the rest were a
handful of about a half-dozen backbenchers. Their remarks about how Brown was bringing the party
down were poorly received. The party, after all, was in no mood for breaking ranks and rewarding
disloyalty. With this paltry showing, the opposition petered out, at least for now. Gordon then gave a
speech, strong on analysis, discussing that his government was paying the price for getting the
country through a difficult recession, suffering from the worst parliamentary crisis since Lloyd George
and still had a program to offer. He also make the point that when the party had split int he past it was
over ideology or policy and there were no stated differences presented by the opposition. So for now,
Gordon has won. Sid

Re: Latest articles on Iranian election fraud and CIA/torture
1. I've copied below texts of three articles you might not have seen. The first, by Juan Cole,
leading expert from University of Michigan on Iraq/Iran, lays out evidence so far on the
stolen election. Second, I've included the key graphs from Bill Keller's piece today in the
Times on same. And, third, Jane Mayer's article in the new issue of The New Yorker, out
tomorrow. (She sent me a digital copy.) The piece includes an interview with Panetta,
who himself discloses the internal administration debatehe was initially for a
commission but was overruled by Rabin and Axelrod.
2. On the Iranian election, the international press will obviously pursue the story of the
rigging of the vote, which will damage the legitimacy of regime. It's clear from reports
that even the Iranian man-on-the-street is affected by global public opinion and receives
international news through a wide variety of media. Ahmadinejad post-election continues
to ratchet up paranoia to consolidate support. After his statement and post-Bibi today,
there may be a remark to be made to address and defuse paranoia. If anything, whatever
the facts about the integrity of democracy in Iran, there is more reason than ever for all
sides to dispense with the politics of paranoia and discover that there are overriding
shared interests for peace, etc. But when to say anything depends upon how long to let
internal bitterness over the aftermath in Iran to simmer and the pressure from press for a
statement from you.
3. Jane Mayer's piece details the many moving and uncontrolled parts of the torture debate,
which has become chronic and will flare up again and again. The "distraction" will not go
away. I would avoid ever being drawn into commenting on any aspect.
4. One additional thought: The Iranian election points to the truism that things can
potentially go awry. Building up "the brand" of the president as the solvent for entangled
and often intractable diplomatic crises creates the basis for an opposite reaction. Raised
expectations can foster even greater disillusionment. After Lebanon's election, the US
press built up the magic of the brand as the new dynamic factor causing change. So
there's a fine line here to be walked. I would attribute positive changes or movements to
those people making them themselves, to the extent US commendation does not injure
their causes, and underline that a new global community will serve those and their
nation's interests who participate as active and responsible actors. But to reemphasize:
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762308 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762308 Date: 06/30/2015
the danger of attributing any and all change in the world to presidential charisma is that
the bad will get assigned as well as the good.
http://www.truthoutorg/061409Z
Top Pieces of Evidence that the Iranian Presidential Election Was Stolen
1.It is claimed that Ahmadinejad won the city of Tabriz with 57%. His main opponent, Mir
Hossein Mousavi, is an Azeri from Azerbaijan province, of which Tabriz is the capital. Mousavi,
according to such polls as exist in Iran and widespread anecdotal evidence, did better in cities
and is popular in Azerbaijan. Certainly, his rallies there were very well attended. So for an Azeri
urban center to go so heavily for Ahmadinejad just makes no sense. In past elections, Azeris
voted disproportionately for even minor presidential candidates who hailed from that province.
2. Ahmadinejad is claimed to have taken Tehran by over 50%. Again, he is not popular in the
cities, even, as he claims, in the poor neighborhoods, in part because his policies have produced
high inflation and high unemployment. That he should have won Tehran is so unlikely as to raise
real questions about these numbers. [Ahmadinejad is widely thought only to have won Tehran in
2005 because the pro-reform groups were discouraged and stayed home rather than voting.)
3. It is claimed that cleric Mehdi Karoubi, the other reformist candidate, received 320,000
votes, and that he did poorly in Iran's western provinces, even losing in Luristan. He is a Lur and
is popular in the west, including in Kurdistan. Karoubi received 17 percent of the vote in the first
round of presidential elections in 2005. While it is possible that his support has substantially
declined since then, it is hard to believe that he would get less than one percent of the vote.
Moreover, he should have at least done well in the west, which he did not.
4. Mohsen Rezaie, who polled very badly and seems not to have been at all popular, is alleged
to have received 670,000 votes, twice as much as Karoubi.
5. Ahmadinejad's numbers were fairly standard across Iran's provinces. In past elections there
have been substantial ethnic and provincial variations.
6. The Electoral Commission is supposed to wait three days before certifying the results of the
election, at which point they are to inform Khamenei of the results, and he signs off on the

So, there are protests against an allegedly stolen election. The Basij paramilitary thugs and the
Iranian Revolutionary Guards will break some heads. Unless there has been a sea change in Iran,
the theocrats may well get away with this soft coup for the moment. But the regime's legitimacy
will take a critical hit, and its ultimate demise may have been hastened, over the next decade or
two.
What I've said is full of speculation and informed guesses. I'd be glad to be proved wrong on
several of these points. Maybe I will be.
PS: Here's the data:
So here is what Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli said Saturday about the outcome of the
Iranian presidential elections:
"Of 39,165,191 votes counted (85 percent), Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the election with
24,527,516 (62.63 percent)."
He announced that Mir-Hossein Mousavi came in second with 13,216,411 votes (33.75
percent).
Mohsen Rezaei got 678,240 votes (1.73 percent)
Mehdi Karroubi with 333,635 votes (0.85 percent).
He put the void ballots at 409,389 (1.04 percent).

Asked whether he felt voters had stopped listening to Brown, Miliband said: "He himself has said he has to
build on his strengths and work on his weaknesses. That is a good maxim for all of us. He is someone who
made the right decisions on the biggest issue of the day. We have got a chance to fight with honour and dignity
for what we believe in. The stakes are very high because we know that parties can slump into very dangerous
positions."

longer locked in their departments, but link their policies to their values; and thirdly, the government has to be
at the cutting edge of policy."
On the issue of political reform, he demands a speeding-up of the pace of political reform, saying it is not a
piece of middle-class frippery. For the first time, he reveals that he now backs the Alternative Vote for the
Commons, saying MPs' legitimacy will be strengthened by being able to say 50% in my constituency voted for
me.
He says the change cannot be made before the general election. He also backs a fresh push on Lords reform,
saying "we have got an agreed blueprint".
He rounded on Tory spending plans, but said Labour would clarify its own intentions before the election. "They
will be credible and clear. We will come to that in an open and honest way."
But he defends delay in setting out these figures, arguing "when you are in the middle of a Tornado it is a bad
time take a forecast".
In an oblique reference to the Damian McBride briefings, he also calls on the media to abandon unattributable
briefings, saying all politicians' spokesmen should be named, or not quoted by media outlets. "The gotcha
culture of politics is not in anyone's interests," he said.

She said Tuesday that numerous advances have been made in test-ban verification procedures and ensuring the
safety of the U.S. stockpile since the Senate rejected ratification of the CTBT nearly 10 years ago.
"Stopping nuclear proliferation by protecting our stockpile, maintaining the credibility of our deterrent and
preventing terrorists from getting a hold of a weapon of mass destruction has become my life's work," she told
the panel Tuesday.
She also said she would back President Obama's diplomatic efforts to persuade the eight other non-signatories
China, North Korea, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran, Israel and Egypt to ratify the treaty. Indonesia's
foreign minister said Monday it would ratify the CTBT, which bans all nuclear explosions for any purpose,
immediately after the United States does.
Tauscher would need to tackle critics among Senate Republicans who contend the Obama administration is
rushing into an agreement on nuclear arms reduction with Russia.
At an Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee hearing last week, Sens. David Vitter, R-La., and Jeff
Sessions, R-Ala., said it was imprudent for the Obama administration to agree to reduced nuclear warhead
levels with Russia before the release of the Defense Department's Nuclear Posture Review, which sets the
course of the nation's nuclear stockpile, in early 2010. Administration negotiators aim to have a renewed
agreement with Russia before the current treaty expires on Dec. 5.
Tauscher told the Senate Foreign Relations panel Tuesday that she would work to allay those concerns. "We
can multi-task. . . . I'm confident we can assure everyone . . . that what is going on in the review is informing
the negotiations."
Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., said he would move Tauscher's nomination quickly through the committee and
would urge the full Senate to follow quickly thereafter.

I have to admit I don't understand statistics enough to gauge it's accuracy, but they are trying to prove the accusation of
egregious fraud. The only other #s are actual vote tallies coming from the Iranian Interior Ministry, showing Mousavi

Most interesting observation of the day, from State:
"A statistical analysis of the data issued by the ministry of interior suggests a perfect linear relationship between votes
received by Ahmadinejad and Mousavi with an r-squared value of 0.9995, a near impossibility in nature.This suggests
that the ballots were never counted or were abandoned after it was clear Ahmadinejad was going to lose. Statistically, it
is impossible to maintain such a perfect linear relationship consistently through all stages of vote counting. We would
expect variation as the votes were coming in, due to differences expected between the cites and the country side and
hetereogeneity amoung ethnic groups.This to me is the most concrete evidence I have seen"

security affairs. Tom Donilon, according to reports, wields far more the hand of power when it comes to day to
day management and responding to crises that require presidential attention and response.
Jones, in contrast, has been obsessed with the structure of decisions -- who is involved in those decisions, what
the structure of decision-making should be, and what legal modifications to this process need to be made. He
looks at that as the big nut that needs to be cracked -- and that would improve, according to Jim Jones, the
President's effectiveness and chances of success at a macro level.
Jones' self-determined task is not high profile, mostly structural, and has not won him many admirers for
leadership -- but what he is doing is necessary. If he departs his role, this challenge of dealing with the growing
complexity of national security threats and the vital need to recalibrate the policy making and decision-making
process will require the attention of someone serious.
So, whether Jones stays or goes -- his portfolio will remain vital.
But what is clear is that Jones has enemies and that they are trying to undermine his place in the Obama orbit.
Their motives may not be earnest concern about the tempo or pace of Jones' management style -- but they very
well could be his unwillingness to allow the liberal interventionists inside the Obama administration to have
more than their fair share of power in the Obama decision-making process.
Jones has structured an all views on the table approach to decision making -- quite evident when it comes to
Middle East policy -- and the hawkish/neocon-friendly/Likudist-hugging part of the Obama administration's
foreign policy operation may be engaged in a coup attempt against Jones.
I don't know if he'll survive this latest effort to oust him -- but folks need to know that those "longer knives", on
the whole, do not have pure motives.

Shanghai: I was driven around the expo site and saw how far advanced the Chinese pavilion is, also the Canadian and
Brazilian pavilions that are facing and adjacent to us, and many spectacular European pavilions. In addition to the
overwhelming size and grandeur of the expo site as a whole it will be like the New York World's Fair on steroids what
struck me is that we must also hold up our end with the many visitors who will be coming from the Americas. The video
of the history of world expositions that plays in the Shanghai exposition building and will help open the expo itself is a
visual of rising American power repeated expos in the 19th and 20th centuries in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, San
Francisco and other American cities. Expos are the soft power Olympics and hence a key part of smart power; we should
be willing to ask Congress for money and consider it extremely well spent in terms of building American power in the
world and cheap at the price.
I also had several meals and meetings with members of what I am coming to think of as "the American diaspora"
talented and entrepreneurial Chinese-Americans and Chinese raised/educated in America who have come back to China
to live on the economic frontier and who are spreading American values with them. They gave a very optimistic picture
of the Chinese economy.

In my official meetings on the S&ED we made real progress, getting the Chinese to agree to a closed meeting just with
the four principals and getting them to agree to consider a model of a joint statement that we will now provide; I made
very clear that a joint statement was critical to getting results. Later in the day we had a breakthrough with the Deputy
Minister of Commerce, who agreed to working level meetings and concrete "bottom-up" joint projects on development
assistance. His staff agreed to meet w/ the AID person at our embassy for the first time as the embassy said, clearly
the Chinese have decided to move forward w/ us on multiple fronts.

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
TO:
Manager Marissa Martin on June 3 to inquire about the State Department's Office of the
Inspector General (OIG) investigation of DynCorp International in Afghanistan. Ms.
Nakashema wrote the April 2009 Washington Post article on the drug overdose death of an
American DynCorp. Ms. Nakashema said she has collected more negative reports on DynCorp
and she expressed particular interested in an episode involving DynCorp contractors and a
"dancing boy" in Konduz. She plans to publish an article within the next week or ten days.
Background
On April 18, the Washington Post's Ellen Nakashema published a factually accurate
article (Tab 1) about the DynCorp employee's death. The article did not address the
"dancing boy" episode or other possible misconduct by DynCorp employees. The article
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761762 Date: 06/30/2015
Current Status
Since the publication of the April 18 article, Ms. Nakashema says that she has received many
calls and emails alleging DynCorp misconduct, including the "dancing boy" incident. In her call
to Marissa Martin on June 3, Ms. Nakashema asked for confirmation of the incident, the status of
the Department's OIG investigation, and if "it was true the Department called in the OIG
because of the 'Dancing Boy' incident, instead of the death of Mr. Schafer." Marissa assured her
that, as A/S Johnson stated for the record in April, investigations are underway regarding all of
our concerns with DynCorp. Ms. Nakashema has also been in touch with INL Washington,
which tells us that it expects another article to appear soon.

Subject: Dyncorps Post Story -- Second Shoe To Drop
Folks,
You may recall an April 17 Post story on problems with Dyncorps in Afghanistan which focused on a suspected
drug overdose death, breakdown in internal controls within the company, and actions the USG and the firm
were taking. The other issue that surfaced at the time was a colossal error in judgment by one of the
contractors' employees in hiring an adolescent boy dancer for some sort of event that, at least to most folks,
looked very inappropriate. The Post is now looking at the dancing boy, which was not included in the April 17,
article, and we expect will soon publish a story on it.
The Post inquiry at this point focuses only on confirming whether or not there's an OIG investigation. We are,
of course, referring the Post to the OIG on such a question. However, the premise for the question raises the
issue again in some eye-popping rhetoric which could feature in the follow-up story, so I wanted to make sure
everyone had a heads-up.
We have already relieved the folks involved with both incidents and I am meeting with the firm's CEO today to
hear his report on his trip to Afghanistan and Iraq to address these, as well as other, issues on which we have
demanded corrective actions.
I'm attaching the original note to Deputy Secretary Lew at the time of the original inquiry which lays out both
issues, a copy of the memo the INL section at Embassy Kabul provided to Post Management on the most
recent Post inquiry, as well as the Post inquiry itself for context.
David.
Incoming from Post:
"According to my reporting, the week of April 13th, the DynCorp regional commander from Konduz, Flint Chambers,
allowed his men to hire a 15-year-old boy dancer to do tribal dances at a DynCorp party on the training site.
Some 15 or so DynCorp employees in attendance pulled out a single chair and had the boy do mock lap dances. This
was captured on video. The video shows DynCorp employees putting dollar bills in the boy's waistband, just as they would
a stripper's garter. The revelry lasted about 45 minutes.

'Renegade' CliffsNotes
By: Jonathan Martin
June 2, 2009 12:22 AM EST
The flood of books devoted to the 2008 campaign and President Barack Obama begins in
earnest this week with the release of "Renegade, The Making of a President," by former
Newsweek reporter Richard Wolfe.
Wolffe's account of the Obama campaign isn't to be officially released until Tuesday, but
POLITICO obtained a copy earlier this week.
Herewith are some of the book's most fascinating nuggets:
No Shrum Moment:
Before the election had been called, but when it looked promising for Obama the thencandidate called his top adviser, David Axelrod.
"What's going on?" Obama asked.
"Look, I'm not going to say congratulations yet, but boy, it looks awfully good," Axelrod
replied.
Axelrod, Wolfe notes, wanted to avoid a repeat of 2004, when John Kerry's top adviser,
Bob Shrum, told the Massachusetts senator prematurely on election night that he wanted
to be the first to say, "Mr. President."
Pritzker Veers Off-Message (A little):
The impressive fundraising Obama demonstrated in 2007 was largely a result of the usual
high-dollar contributors not the small-dollar donors the campaign liked to hold up to the
press.
"It wasn't the Internet," admitted Penny Pritzker, Obama's national finance chair.

Talking To Himself:
The revamped stump speech Obama gave to Iowa Democrats at their Jefferson-Jackson
Dinner in November of 2007 was borne out of a speech Obama scribe Jon Favreau had
written for the candidate earlier that month in South Carolina.
Favreau trimmed the original version and sent it to Obama who had to memorize it for
what became a pivotal moment leading up to the Iowa caucuses.
Aides were concerned that Obama was not prepared to give the speech, but he largely
got it right on his first run-through a day befOre the dinner.

"None of Obama's aides knew that the candidate had been rehearsing in his Des Moines
hotel room all week," Wolfe writes. [Press secretary Robert] Gibbs had walked by his
room a couple of times, heard a loud television behind the door, and wondered what was
going on. Obama had turned the volume up to practice the speech to himself, out of sight
and earshot of even his closest staff."
Michelle As Strategist:
The morning after Obama lost the early-March Ohio and Texas primaries, campaign
manager David Plouffe suffered through an uncomfortable car ride with the candidate and
his wife, Michelle Obama.
The future first lady, writes Wolfe, "threatened not to return to the campaign trail until they
had come up with a new strategy."
Says Plouffe: "I think she was pissed at both of us."

the deal, and it seems likely to become a reality on Monday, if a federal judge handling the high-speed bankruptcy
proceeding approves the sale of Chrysler's best assets to the Italian carmaker.
Mr. Deese's role is unusual for someone who is neither a formally trained economist nor a business school graduate, and
who never spent much time flipping through the endless studies about the future of the American and Japanese auto
industries.
He lives a dual life these days. He starts the day at a desk wedged just outside of Mr. Summers's office, where he can
hear what young members of the economic team have come to know as "the Summers bellow." From there, he can
make it quickly to the press office to help devise explanations for whytaxpayers are spending more than $50 billion on
what polls show is a very unpopular bailout of the auto industry.
Several times a day he speed-walks to Treasury, taking a shortcut through the tunnel under the colonnade, near the
kitchens. The other day he talked about how sharply perceptions of the industry's future changed after Mr. Obama's
election.
"At the first meeting with Rick Wagoner," he said, referring to G.M.'s recently deposed chief executive, "they were in a
very different place. He said publicly that bankruptcy was not a viable option. It's been a long process getting everyone
to look at the options differently."
In fact, from before Inauguration Day, few in Mr. Obama's circle saw any other choice. Every time Mr. Deese ran the
numbers on G.M. and Chrysler, he came back with the now-obvious conclusion that neither was a viable business, and
that their plans to revive themselves did not address the erosion of their revenues. But it took the support of Mr.
Rattner and Ron Bloom, senior advisers to the task force charged with restructuring the automobile industry, to help
turn Mr. Deese's positions into policy.
"The president's instruction to us was that we had to come up with a solution that would work on a commercial basis,
that didn't involve indefinite federal financing," Mr. Deese said. "But we didn't want liquidation, which would have even
worse effects. So the question was how do you design a very substantial restructuring, and do it fast."
Mr. Deese's route to the auto table at the White House was anything but a straight line. He is the son of a political
science professor at Boston College (his father) and an engineer who works in renewable energy (his mother). He grew
up in the Boston suburb of Belmont and attended Middlebury College in Vermont. He went to Washington to work on
aid issues and was quickly hired by Nancy Birdsall, a widely respected authority on the effectiveness of international aid
and the founder of the Center for Global Development.
But he wanted to learn domestic issues as well, and soon ended up working as an assistant for Gene Sperling, who 17
years ago in the Clinton White House played a similar role as economic policy prodigy. Eventually, Mr. Deese headed to
Yale for his law degree. But his e-mail box was constantly filled with messages from friends in Washington who were
signing up to work for the Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton campaigns. Mr. Deese chose Senator Clinton's.
"He was pretty quickly functioning as the top economic policy staffer through her campaign," Mr. Sperling said. "He
could blend the policy needs and the political needs pretty seamlessly." On the day that the Clinton campaign ended,
Mr. Deese left her concession speech and received a message on his BlackBerry from a friend in the Obama campaign
urging him to sign on immediately to Mr. Obama's team.
He resumed his policy work there, and found himself stuck in Chicago unable to fly to Washington with his dog as
the economic crisis deepened. Finally, one night, he decided to get into his car with his dog and just started driving back
to Washington. Tired, he pulled over to catch some sleep in the car.

"I slept in the parking lot of the G. M. plant in Lordstown, Ohio," he recalled. The giant plant, opened during G.M.'s
heyday in the mid-1960s, is where the Pontiac 65 is produced. Under the plan Mr. Deese worked on when he arrived in
Washington, Pontiac will disappear.
"I guess that was prophetic," he said, shaking his head.

International Development.

Because of the time difference, your clips were prepared at midnight Eastern Time so many are still early versions. But
what we're seeing online right now look MUCH better this morning than even 5 hours ago - it just took a bit for your
statement, our conf call, our pushback, and our travelers to catch up. Many including the Times take a very different
tone. And all note Cuba's not in. Mostly, stories are small and seem buried.

I'm usually the pessimist, but I'm not sure this is as dire as it seems in the moment from 10,000 miles away.
First, the world/media is fixated on the President's speech, the imagery from Riyadh dominates, there's no Honduras
footage of interest, which is key. Speech tomorrow will blanket coverage and extinguish the Cuba stuff, so we just need
to weather the night.
Second, Tom & Dan did an on the record conf call not long ago and we think they did very well. Dan was especially
strong, and he's also speaking to people 1:1
Third, your statement was strong and the reporting will catch up with it, it's only been out 90 minutes.
Fourth, we are suffering from two significant tactical problems: 1) you are here and removed 2) our press corps was out
of position today and in flight, so the people we worked on all week and the ones likely to skew our way were replaced
by reporters not connected to us.
The two issues above will be rectified tomorrow in your two interviews - especially Greta who is malleable. We can use
that to make a strong case on the principle, and the simple fact Cuba wasn't in the OAS yesterday, and won't be
tomorrow. Everyday that passes reinforces that point. The time difference to East Coast will help us in moving
whatever is said in these interviews tomorrow.
Short term, we started the week showing we can engage with Cuba (mail, migration), and ending it showing we are
serious about our redlines
Long term, we stood up for human rights and that can only be a plus.

Many thanks for the Tiananmen statement, which hit all they key points, and went a long way towards resolving any lingering

time as the Chinese government allows for real resolution. We know these statements cause a certain amoint of diplomatic rancor, but
we hope that the comfort and courage they give people also remain part of your calculations.
May I trouble one of you to forward this message to Steve and Dan in Beijing, and to Carlos in DC? And please do feel free to share it

Richard Wolfe
Wolffe covered the entire length of Barack Obama's presidential campaign for Newsweek magazine, traveling
with the candidate and his inner circle from his announcement through election day, 21 months later.
As a political analyst on MS7VBC, he appears frequently on Countdown with Keith Olbermann and Hardball. On
NBC, he has featured as a political commentator on Meet The Press and TODAY. He features prominently in
the forthcoming HBO documentary on the Obama campaign, and played a leading role in the HBO
documentary of the 2000 Bush campaign, Journeys With George. He previously appeared on CNN and Fox
News, as well as international media including British, Canadian and Australian television.
He now writes regularly for The Daily Beast.
As Newsweek's senior White House correspondent, his cover stories included What He Believes (on Obama's
faith) Black & White (about Obama and racial politics), Bush In The Bubble (after Hurricane Katrina) and
Weight of the World (how Bush handled the Lebanon war). Wolfe joined Newsweek in November 2002 as
diplomatic correspondent, covering foreign policy and international affairs. In the 2004 presidential election, he
covered the Howard Dean campaign before switching to John Kerry.
Before Newsweek, Wolfe was a senior journalist at the Financial Times, serving as its deputy bureau chief and
U.S. diplomatic correspondent in Washington. He reported on U.S. foreign policy, covered the Microsoft
antitrust trial, as well as regulatory and business issues at Treasury, the Federal Trade Commission and
Securities and Exchange Commission.
In April 2009, he joined Public Strategies, a business advisory firm, as Senior Strategist.
Wolfe is the co-author of The Victim's Fortune, (HarperCollins, 2002), about the deals that led to billions of
dollars in compensation to the Nazis' victims in the late 1990s. He also co-authored two Spanish cookbooks,
Tapas: A Taste of Spain in America (Clarkson Potter in the US and Planeta in Spain, 2005) and Made in Spain:
Spanish Dishes for the American Kitchen (Clarkson Potter, 2008). He has also written for food magazines such
as Food Arts and Food & Wine. He authored an upcoming book on Obama's campaign called Renegade: The
Making of a President.
Born in in Birmingham, England, Wolffe is a 1992 graduate of Oxford University, first-class honors, in English
and French literature.

Of all his transition choices, none was easier to make, or more complex to execute, than Hillary Clinton as
secretary of state. Obama had long wanted his former rival on his team, no matter what his friends and aides
said about her aggressive campaign... His staff opposed the idea for the most part, arguing that Clinton would
never be truly loyal. But Obama was willing to leave the primaries behind, including his own strong feelings at
the time. "I don't hold grudges," he told his aides. "I don't worry about the past. I'm concerned about What
happens now. If she can help me and Bill Clinton isn't too much of a liability, we should seriously look at this."
Obama was under no illusion about the legacy of the long primary season. During one transition meeting,
Obama said he wanted to offer Clinton the diplomatic job. "I'm really interested in pursuing this, but I know she
has some hard feelings coming out of this campaign." Emanuel and John Podesta, the former Clinton official
who ran the transition, assured Obama that she was over those hard feelings now. Obama smiled and said,
"Believe me. She's not over it yet."
His decision to offer her the job of secretary of state came surprisingly early. Well before the end of the
primaries, when his staff and friends still felt hostile to her, Obama decided that Clinton possessed the qualities
to carry his diplomacy to the rest of the world. "We actually thought during the primary, when we were pretty
sure we were going to win, that she could end up being a very effective secretary of state," he told me later. "I
felt that she was disciplined, that she was precise, that she was smart as a whip, and that she would present a
really strong image to the world.. .I had that mapped out."
Recruiting and managing a team of rivals would not be easy, and Clinton came with her own set of issues. Chief
among them was her campaign debt, which she wanted eliminated before she took the job of secretary of state.
Would the president-elect go out and help her to do so? "I'm not begging her to take this job," Obama told his
senior aides. "If she wants it, I could help. But I'm not willing to go out in these difficult economic times to do a
flashy fundraiser in California." As it happened, plenty of people in the Senate were begging Obama to offer
Clinton the job. Obama's aides believed that many Senate Democrats thought Clinton had extended her
presidential campaign far beyond the point where she had lost the election. Her negative advertising wasted
Democratic money, threatened to undermine the party's nominee, and suggested that she was disloyal to the
party. They were unwilling to offer the junior New York senator a position ahead of her lowly rank, and she
stood little chance of becoming majority leader. "There was a lot of encouragement from inside the Senate to
get her into this job," said one senior Obama aide. "They wanted her out of there." ...
As for controlling the uncontrollable Bill Clinton, Obama's aides drew up a series of checks on his fundraising
for both Clinton Global Initiative and his work on HIV/AIDS across the world. But they really counted on

Hillary to be the ultimate safeguard - against both her husband and her own ambition. "It's in her interests to
keep him in line," warned one senior Obama aide. Others in Obama's inner circle said the president-elect
believed Clinton needed to demonstrate that she was a team player and to shape her own career and legacy.
"There are plenty who don't trust her and think she still harbors something," said another senior adviser. "It's
still potentially problematic down the road. Barack's thinking on this is that it's not in her interests to mess with
us. She can't win that fight internally and she's smart enough that she won't want that fight publicly."
Several weeks into the administration, even Clinton's internal critics believed the relationship was a success.
"They have both worked really hard at it," said one senior White House official. "There's a natural affinity and
respect that ironically grew out of being opponents. You get to know someone really well after all that."

So in the end Peter did not get Foreign Secretary. But Gordon has now created a new job and title for
him: First Secretary of State. In effect, he is deputy prime minister, probably the first peer in that role,
not an elected member of Commons. Gordon held a defiant late afternoon press conference: "I will
not waver. I will not walk away. I will get on with the job." There will be more fallout, but I think this is
done. Sid

Dear Cheryl
Following a few discussions with Dick Gephardt - I have pleasure in laying out fairly detailed information about a
conference that is being held in Demark on 3-4 December 2009.
We have made the note reasonably in-depth so hopefully will provide you with sufficient background. The organisers of
the event which are ATP - the largest Danish Pension Fund and the Climate Consortium Denmark are being sponsored
and backed by the Danish government and they were very hopeful that Hillary would be able to be the key note speaker
at the conference for reasons that they have identified in the attached briefing document.
We were hoping to establish whether this event would be of interest for Hillary to appear and if she was available we
would then arrange for the formal invite to be sent out by the Danish Government.
If we can provide any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
Summary. Washington Post reporter Ellen Nakashema contacted INL/NAS Police Program
Manager Marissa Martin on June 3 to inquire about the State Department's Office of the
Inspector General (OIG) investigation of DynCorp International in Afghanistan. Ms.
Nakashema wrote the April 2009 Washington Post article on the drug overdose death of an
American DynCorp. Ms. Nakashema said she has collected more negative reports on DynCorp
and she expressed particular interested in an episode involving DynCorp contractors and a
"dancing boy" in Konduz. She plans to publish an article within the next week or ten days.
Background
B7(A)
On April 18, the Washington Post's Ellen Nakashema published a factually accurate
article (Tab 1) about the DynCorp employee's death. The article did not address the
"dancing boy" episode or other possible misconduct by DynCorp employees. The article
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761758 Date: 06/30/2015
Current Status
Since the publication of the April 18 article, Ms. Nakashema says that she has received many
calls and emails alleging DynCorp misconduct, including the "dancing boy" incident. In her call
to Marissa Martin on June 3, Ms. Nakashema asked for confirmation of the incident, the status of
the Department's OIG investigation, and if "it was true the Department called in the OIG
because of the 'Dancing Boy' incident, instead of the death of Mr. Schafer." Marissa assured her
that, as A/S Johnson stated for the record in April, investigations are underway regarding all of
our concerns with DynCorp. Ms. Nakashema has also been in touch with INL Washington,
which tells us that it expects another article to appear soon.

Many Haitians See Bill Clinton Appointment as Setting Up Protectorate
Port-au-Prince Le Matin
June 5, 2009
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's recent appointment of former US President Clinton to serve as special envoy to
Haiti has been perceived by many groups, including lawmakers, political analysts, political leaders, and media
commentators, as a step toward putting Haiti in a protectorate or trusteeship status. They questioned in particular the
extent of Clinton's powers and the term of his mandate, wondering what role will be attributed to Haiti's elected
representatives. Several pointed out that Heidi Annabi, Ban's special representative in Haiti, and President Rene Preval
would be subservient to Clinton, their senior in rank and described by some media as Haiti's new chief. As expected,
Haitian Government officials and most foreign diplomats hailed this nomination and expressed their optimism about it.
Several political leaders objected to Clinton's being named special envoy to Haiti, saying that it showed the international
community wanted to bring Haiti under its control.
o Former Senate President Belizaire, president of the National Council of the Haitian Political Parties, pointed out that
Haiti has had a foreign force in the country, the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), since 2004 and now has
an envoy such as President Clinton who is in a "higher position than any other UN personnel." These both indicate the
country is being considered a "genuine protectorate," according to Belizaire (Signal FM, 27 May).
o Socialist Identity and Liberty Collective spokesman Cherubin referred to Clinton's mission as an umpteenth "civil
commission," alluding to the administrative steps France took to restore order and peace when Haiti was under French
rule, intended to speed up the process of "taking charge" of Haiti. Cherubin added that in the current international
jargon this is called "colonialism of a third type, or colonialism of necessity"
(www.alterpresse.org, 22 May).
o According to Christian Movement for a New Haiti leader Mesadieux, Ban's decision will further help put Haiti under
foreign supervision. He asserted that the international community wants to reinforce its control over Haiti's
administration (Radio Vision 2000, 21 May).
o Dr. Eugene of the Haitian Social Christian Party, speaking on the "Pickup Talk Show" live from the United States, said
that "Clinton's responsibility is to control events in Haiti and he will control them in a firm manner" (Radio Caraibes FM,
23 May). Eugene was "offended" by this appointment and called it "a shame for all Haitians" and "a slap in the face of
the entire nation" (Radio Galaxie, 29 May).

Lawmakers and political analysts, who questioned how far Clinton's powers would extend and described him as a
colonial administrator, also concluded that Haiti was under trusteeship or protectorate status.
o Senate President Bastien, who said the UN usually sends special emissaries only to "places where there are crises and
conflicts," wondered why former President Clinton had been named special envoy to Haiti. He particularly questioned
the extent of Clinton's mandate, asking "where do his powers end?" and concluded that the ongoing rumors of Haiti
being put under trusteeship will be confirmed if clarifications are not offered (Radio Vision 2000, 26 May).
o Professor Lalanne, a former ambassador under the Duvalier regime, described Clinton as "the new administrator of
the colony called Haiti." Lalanne said this nomination shows that the international community is not happy with Annabi's
work. He added that he had "no other interpretation [of the appointment other than it Is]... a reinforcement of the
occupation" (Radio Kiskeya, 25 May).
o Reacting to the appointment, political analyst Gracien Jean referred to Article 76 of the UN fundamental charter and
said that although Haiti is not a classic protectorate with an administrator, the very fact that it cannot administer itself
and has foreign forces in charge of ensuring its security, is an indication that the country is "under trusteeship or
protectorate status because in principle there is partial restriction of its sovereignty" (Radio Vision 2000, 26 May).
Media commentators highlighted the powers conferred to President Clinton as minimizing the role of Haitian or UN
officials.
o The oldest and most famous Haitian newspaper, Le Nouvelliste, questioned in an editorial what mandate former
President Clinton would have in his new role. The paper noted that even though Clinton was presented as "an
international lawyer for Haiti," the country's moderate national ists consider him the new "governor general," recalling
the title given by France to colonial Haiti's highest authority. The paper further asked what role Haiti's elected
representatives would have if President Clinton has responsibility for "a complete political program." Moreover, the
editorial questioned how long the program would last (20 May).
o In an article entitled "Haiti Under High Surveillance," journalist Nancy Roc, host of Radio Metropole's famous weekly
talk show "Metropolis," reported: "This nomination establishes the eviction of the Latin Americans and represents the
response of the Obama Administration to the powerlessness and irresponsibility of the Haitian rulers.... Through this
nomination, Haiti has a new chief.... Annabi and Preval are relegated to a position of secondary importance and will have
to execute to the letter any instructions from [Clinton] their senior in rank (Le Matin, 25 May).
Predictably, government officials and foreign diplomats hailed Clinton's mission and emphasized its beneficial
socioeconomic influence.
o Le Nouvelliste reported on 19 May that "President Preval received this nomination favorably," saying that it is "a vital
push" for assuring Haiti's needs remain "a priority for the international community." Responding to a journalist who
asked him about Haiti being put under protectorate status, Preval replied that he knew Haiti, as a UN member, was like
many countries with problems who have accepted UN help (Radio Vision 2000, 26 May).
o Prime Minister Pierre-Louis saw in the naming of President Clinton a positive sign all the more so since he is "a long
time friend of Haiti." She said it was in the interest of the country to take advantage of all international opportunities
(Radio Caraibes FM, 21 May).
o MINUSTAH spoke of its limits to help social and economic problems, and stressed the appropriateness and the
importance of President Clinton's mission after the hurricanes that hit Haiti last year (Le Nouvelliste, 20 May).

o The Chilean Chancery said in a communique issued on 26 May that it received this nomination with "total
approbation" and expected it to help put Haiti's economic and social development and reconstruction on the
international agenda (www.radiokiskeya.com, 26 May).
On another note, however, OAS representatiave in Haiti, Ricardo Seitenfus reacted defensively to rumors about
President Clinton's appointment, telling Signal FM that "Haiti will never fall under the protectorate of another country"
even if it is a "disguised protectorate." He further said that the "OAS will constantly watch to make sure that does not
happen" (26 May).

Of all his transition choices, none was easier to make, or more complex to execute, than Hillary Clinton as secretary of
state. Obama had long wanted his former rival on his team, no matter what his friends and aides said about her
aggressive campaign... His staff opposed the idea for the most part, arguing that Clinton would never be truly loyal. But
Obama was willing to leave the primaries behind, including his own strong feelings at the time. "I don't hold grudges,"
he told his aides. "I don't worry about the past. I'm concerned about what happens now. If she can help me and Bill
Clinton isn't too much of a liability, we should seriously look at this." ...
Obama was under no illusion about the legacy of the long primary season. During one transition meeting, Obama said he
wanted to offer Clinton the diplomatic job. "I'm really interested in pursuing this, but I know she has some hard feelings
coming out of this campaign." Emanuel and John Podesta, the former Clinton official who ran the transition, assured
Obama that she was over those hard feelings now. Obama smiled and said, "Believe me. She's not over it yet."
His decision to offer her the job of secretary of state came surprisingly early. Well before the end of the primaries, when
his staff and friends still felt hostile to her, Obama decided that Clinton possessed the qualities to carry his diplomacy to
the rest of the world. "We actually thought during the primary, when we were pretty sure we were going to win, that
she could end up being a very effective secretary of state," he told me later. "I felt that she was disciplined, that she was

precise, that she was smart as a whip, and that she would present a really strong image to the world...I had that mapped
out."
Recruiting and managing a team of rivals would not be easy, and Clinton came with her own set of issues. Chief among
them was her campaign debt, which she wanted eliminated before she took the job of secretary of state. Would the
president-elect go out and help her to do so? "I'm not begging her to take this job," Obama told his senior aides. "If she
wants it, I could help. But I'm not willing to go out in these difficult economic times to do a flashy fundraiser in
California." As it happened, plenty of people in the Senate were begging Obama to offer Clinton the job. Obama's aides
believed that many Senate Democrats thought Clinton had extended her presidential campaign far beyond the point
where she had lost the election. Her negative advertising wasted Democratic money, threatened to undermine the
party's nominee, and suggested that she was disloyal to the party. They were unwilling to offer the junior New York
senator a position ahead of her lowly rank, and she stood little chance of becoming majority leader. "There was a lot of
encouragement from inside the Senate to get her into this job," said one senior Obama aide. "They wanted her out of
there." ...
As for controlling the uncontrollable Bill Clinton, Obama's aides drew up a series of checks on his fundraising for both
Clinton Global Initiative and his work on HIV/AIDS across the world. But they really counted on Hillary to be the ultimate
safeguard - against both her husband and her own ambition. "It's in her interests to keep him in line," warned one senior
Obama aide. Others in Obama's inner circle said the president-elect believed Clinton needed to demonstrate that she
was a team player and to shape her own career and legacy. "There are plenty who don't trust her and think she still
harbors something," said another senior adviser. "It's still potentially problematic down the road. Barack's thinking on
this is that it's not in her interests to mess with us. She can't win thaffight internally and she's smart enough that she
won't want that fight publicly."
Several weeks into the administration, even Clinton's internal critics believed the relationship was a success. "They have
both worked really hard at it," said one senior White House official. "There's a natural affinity and respect that ironically
grew out of being opponents. You get to know someone really well after all that."

Whipping Votes
House leaders had planned to hold the conference session Thursday and had said the House floor vote could be
as early as Friday. But their effort to convince members to switch their no votes was still underway Thursday
afternoon.
Although several high ranking Democrats have pledged to switch their no votes, including Reps. Barney Frank,
D-Mass., and George Miller, D-Calif., many others have said they would not.
"It's a conscience vote," said Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., who said he was inclined to not change his stance on
the bill
"I haven't cracked yet," said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., who along with other anti-war Democrats has
pledged to be against any war funding that does not provide for the withdrawal of troops from southwest Asia.
Still, many Democrats said that the leadership was lobbying them relatively intensely.
More Details Emerge
Meanwhile, more details of the near finalized supplemental conference report negotiations came out Thursday.
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Daniel K. Inouye, D-Hawaii, said that the final bill will "in all
likelihood" include money for 5 C-130 transport planes and 8 C-17 cargo planes, none of which was requested
by the administration or in the Senate's bill. The House bill had sought 11 C-130s and the 8 C-17s.
Overall, the defense portion of the bill is expected to be about $4 billion less than the House version but still
billions above the Senate version and the administration request, House Appropriations Defense subcommittee
chairman John P. Murtha, D-Pa., said.
As for the fate of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the conference report likely will include language
barring the administration from transferring prisoners to U.S. soil for the remainder of the fiscal year, said
House Appropriator James P. Moran, D-Va.
No money towards the president's effort to close the prisons will be in the conference report, Moran added. The
president had requested $80 million but neither the House nor Senate versions included those funds.

POLITICO
Gay groups grow impatient with Obama
By: Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin
June 4, 2009 04:32 AM EST
President Barack Obama's promises of change are falling short for one core Democratic
constituency: gays and lesbians, whose leaders say Obama's administration isn't keeping
up with the times.
Gay rights campaigners, most of them Democrats who supported Obama in November,
have begun to voice their public frustration with Obama's inaction, small jokes at their
community's expense and deafening silence on what they see as the signal civil rights
issue of this era.
His most important campaign promises repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and the
military ban on openly gay and lesbian service-members have not been fulfilled.
And the news, which emerged quietly earlier this year, that he'd supported same-sex
marriage back in 1996, then changed his mind, especially rankles. As mainstream
Democratic politicians such as Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) move to support same-sex
marriage, gay rights advocates say that the barrier-breaking president looks increasingly
odd for opposing what they see as full equality.
"Obama is out of step with his party, which is overwhelmingly in favor of marriage at this
stage," said David Mixner, a veteran gay rights activist who is among the organizers of a
march on Washington for same-sex marriage scheduled for this fall. "He's out of step with
the next generation."
Gay rights issues have been moving at breakneck speed, none faster than same-sex
marriage. Most public opinion polls now show more than 40 percent of Americans support
same-sex marriage, seen as a fringe issue just a few years earlier. Already, five New
England states and Iowa have same-sex marriage laws on the books.
"Politicians are finding out that their voters are moving faster than they anticipated," said
Democratic pollster Celinda Lake, who called Obama's place behind that curve

The White House has been reluctant to spend its political capital pushing Obama's
highest-profile pro-gay positions believing, White House allies say, that it could detract
from priorities like health care. And it may be even less likely to do next year, with
midterms approaching.
But officials have told restive gays and lesbians to give them until the end of this month to
show movement on a number of lower-profile issues they support, including restrictions on
visas for people with HIV. The Pentagon also has toned down public opposition to
reversing the gay ban, and the new secretary of the Army's job will be, in part, to smooth
the way for that move.
"The president remains fully committed to advancing LGBT rights. His positions on all of
these issues are well-established and well-known. His staff continues to work with
Congress on a variety of LGBT issues," said Jim Messina, the deputy White House chief
of staff who is the point man on gay and lesbian issues, citing White House efforts to
move hate crimes legislation through the Senate. "While we recognize that some in the
community are anxious, the president's commitment has not wavered."
Meanwhile, however, marriage equality has emerged as the movement's central issue, a
question that's seen as a simple matter of justice and fairness by a growing number of
Democrats.
"There's going to come a point where's he going have to deal with it," former Democratic
National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, who now supports same-sex marriage, said
of Obama. "I'm in favor of giving him a little more time. He's got an awful lot on his plate."
"But he is a politician like everybody else, and he's going to respond to pressure. And I
don't blame the LGBT community for trying to push," Dean said.
Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), who is openly gay and was a major Democratic donor before
being elected last year, said he was "very hopeful [Obama's] position will evolve."
But Polls warned, "If his position doesn't evolve, it could turn off some strong supporters."
Gay leaders in Washington, though, have been loath to publicly criticize the president.
They say they still view Obama as an ally and think private talks are more promising than
public pressure.
Still, it was especially frustrating for some left-leaning gay figures to see the otherwise
dreaded former Vice President Dick Cheney publicly express his support this week for
letting states allow gay marriage -- a position that puts him to theleft of Obama.

"I think that freedom means freedom for everyone," Cheney said in an appearance
Monday at the National Press Club.
Obama also has been criticized for a joke at the expense of same-sex marriage. After the
White House Correspondents Association dinner, columnist Dan Savage fumed that
Obama's only reference since being sworn in to the high-profile drive toward same-sex
marriage in Iowa had been a joke about going to the state with longtime friend and adviser
David Axelrod to "make it official."
"The best he can do all he's willing to do is toss off an Adam Sandler-level joke,"
Savage wrote.
Another Obama ally, writer Andrew Sullivan, recently referred to Obama's stance on gays
as "the fierce urgency of whenever."
And on the front line, in the states, gay rights advocates are also growing increasingly
impatient with Washington.
"His position has been causing some problems for those of us working in the states, those
who are against it are using him for cover," said Alan Van CapeIle, the executive director
of New York's Empire State Pride Agenda, who called on Obama to fulfill another
neglected campaign promise and back the full repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act,
which blocks the federal government from extending benefits to married same-sex
couples.
Gay activists cringed recently when reminded by Donald Trump, of all people, that Miss
California Carrie Prejean shared the same position on gay marriage as the progressive
president.
"I'm still optimistic that the president is going to be good on his word," said Aubrey Sarvis,
the executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Networks, which opposes
the military ban.
"No one believes that [anti-gay federal policies] will be miraculously changed overnight,"
said Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese, who added nevertheless that his
group is "frustrated at the pace of progress."
Behind the scenes, patience is wearing thin.
"People are far angrier than they're saying publicly, because they don't want to jeopardize
[White House] relationships with the groups," said John Aravosis, an openly gay blogger
who speaks to gay leaders. "But everyone is feeling like we've entered a danger zone
where the administration is backing away from us fast, and I can tell you that the
professional gay crowd in Washington, D.C., to a person, feels a sense of impending
betrayal."
The most heated battle is in California, where some of the same voters who
overwhelmingly elected Obama also passed a referendum barring same-sex marriage.
Proposition 8 has since energized the state's gay rights movement.

The Army linguist, Dan Choi, spoke at a rally across the street from the Beverly Hills Hilton
while Obama spoke inside at a high-dollar fundraiser late last month. The group
organizing the rally, the Courage Campaign, has gathered 140,000 signatures on a letter
to Obama asking him to rescind the ban.
Back at the fundraiser, Messina had the same message delivered in a somewhat more
intimate setting.
He was walking through the men's room at the Beverly Hilton when Mike Bonin, an activist
and former Obama campaign staffer who loves the president "the way Walt Whitman
loved Abe Lincoln," confronted him.
"I told him I was disappointed that [Obama] talked about justice and equal opportunity and
across the street stands Dan Choi, who's about to be booted out of the Army," he recalled
of the faucet-side chat.
Messina, Bonin said, responded that the White House hadn't forgotten, and complained
that the administration hasn't gotten enough credit for pushing to outlaw hate crimes
against gays and lesbians, but was ultimately "noncommittal." Bonin, who said he kept
Messina standing by the sinks for about ten minutes before letting him proceed to his
destination, said marriage advocates in California have been using Obama campaign
tools and strategies to push the White House.
"All the people who signed this petition for Choi, all the people who are outside across the
street at this rally, all the people who are coming to these [political training camps] are
Obama people who love and support our president," he said. "But he didn't stand up for
us, and until he does we're going to love him enough to be tough on him."
Correction: Hate crimes legislation has passed the House, but not the Senate; an earner
version of this story wrongly reported that it had become law.

But Democrats have been anxious for the president to take a more public stance, and the letter provides the
guidance that many in Congress had been craving as House and Senate committees move closer to releasing
draft bills.
"The president says get it done. Get it done right because we only get one chance," said Sen. Barbara Mikulski
(D-Md.), a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. "The letter essentially
synthesizes what the president is saying."
He outlined the parameters in a letter to Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Health,
Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chairman Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.).
Obama's endorsement of a public insurance option could boost the controversial proposal and serve as catalyst
for the Democratic base as the president kicks off a grassroots campaign Saturday.
"It's clear that the Republican resistance to a public plan hasn't softened President Obama's support for one,"
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a statement. "This strengthens the hand of those of us advocating for a
public option, which is the only way to keep the private insurers' feet to the fire."
Despite almost uniform opposition from Republicans on the public plan, the president wrote in the letter that he
remains "hopeful that many Republicans" would back an overhaul bill.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking Republican on the Finance Committee, struck an optimistic tone in
a statement, saying the letter "doesn't draw lines in the sand," and "is helpful because of his statements that
reform legislation needs to have bipartisan support."
However, the letter is likely to incite opponents, who have been frustrated by Obama's lack of specifics.
Indeed, on Thursday morning, Conservatives for Patients' Rights will begin airing a new TV ad called
"Bulldozer," which says a "government-run plan" will drive private insurers out of business and eliminate
consumer choices.

I'm usually the pessimist, but I'm not sure this is as dire as it seems in the moment from 10,000 miles away.
First, the world/media is fixated on the President's speech, the imagery from Riyadh dominates, there's no Honduras
footage of interest, which is key. Speech tomorrow will blanket coverage and extinguish the Cuba stuff, so we just need
to weather the night.
Second, Tom & Dan did an on the record conf call not long ago and we think they did very well. Dan was especially
strong, and he's also speaking to people 1:1
Third, your statement was strong and the reporting will catch up with it, it's only been out 90 minutes.
Fourth, we are suffering from two significant tactical problems: 1) you are here and removed 2) our press corps was out
of position today and in flight, so the people we worked on all week and the ones likely to skew our way were replaced
by reporters not connected to us.
The two issues above will be rectified tomorrow in your two interviews - especially Greta who is malleable. We can use
that to make a strong case on the principle, and the simple fact Cuba wasn't in the OAS yesterday, and won't be
tomorrow. Everyday that passes reinforces that point. The time difference to East Coast will help us in moving
whatever is said in these interviews tomorrow.
Short term, we started the week showing we can engage with Cuba (mail, migration), and ending it showing we are
serious about our redlines
Long term, we stood up for human rights and that can only be a plus.

Jim's thoughts on
Cdm
I think this is very good. I really like the emphasis on security, which is part of her brand, and very relevant (I
always have in the back of my mind the possibility that great tragedy will strike again, so we need to prepared
to deal with that reality, should it come about some day).
I like combining that with the notion of prosperity and humanity, which together covers so much ground - from
economic development to human rights.
A couple miscl thoughts -- in terms of promoting prosperity/economic development, might there be a reason to technological
advancement (giving people access to education and technological tools that can help them in terms of both
education and access to social networks and other avenues for advancement). You do reference education in the
development arena, and in prosperity, so that's good).
- there isn't much here mentioning democratization, freedom, etc. I know that is probably dicey given the
multitude of governments we want to partner with that aren't ready to talk that talk, but still think it needs to be
incorporated in some aspect of a mission statement.
- really like strong reference to women as a key to economic and social stabilization. That ties into her "brand"
and into a reality. I know when the First Ladies of Africa came out here to LA, one of the desires was to try to
draw them into an alliance that might transcend their own national differences and create cross-border force for
positive change. A friend of mine is one of the executives with the Hunger Project, whose CEO is a woman
who focuses, too, on the way targeting women can help alleviate hunger in ways that just dealing with men or
generally cannot.
- really like that 'variable geometry' reference. This is kind of like 3 dimensional chess - strange and
complicated alliances need to be made to grapple with a multitude of cross-cutting challenges. This is calculus,
not arithmetic.
- would like to be sure religions are involved here, vis a vis the various partnerships. It can be either a
powerful force of positive change, or it can get in the way of progress, depending on how it's used or abused,

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762755 Date: 06/30/2015
but to the extent allowed Constitutionally, the power of religion should be encouraged in the direction of
alliances and partnerships of progress.
- as I think about Kennan's "containment" doctrine a little further - in some ways it can be reapplied to
extremism, meaning that our goal should be to contain not Communism this time, but extremist ideology
whereever it exists, and just as Kerman supported, development is one of the ways to build those walls of
containment around a dangerous ideology. We want to contain extremist, nihilistic, violent ideologies and
movements whereever they might take root, and a good way to do that is to focus on development, on women,
on technology, on education.
The power of diplomacy rests on two foundations. On the one hand, there is the reality and potentiality of
military force. Without having the capacity to defend, and to project force, diplomacy is inherently weak and
ineffectual.
On the other hand, development is the other foundation upon which successful diplomacy can be built. It's the
carrot to the military's stick. And the State Department has an integral role to play in both the diplomatic and
developmental parts of that tripod (while also being understanding of, and when necessary supportive of,
implementing the military part).
The connective tissue of security, prosperity and humanity is, as you suggest, "purpose," or more prosaically "morality." Morals. It is immoral for people to live in fear, to be unprotected, to be subject to harm and
death. It is immoral for people's human rights to be violated, to not have access to education and heatlh. And it
is immoral to be denied the opportunity to grow, to create a better future for children, etc. To let, as Roy has
said, every child to live up to his or her God-given potential.
one last point - on shared humanity, perhaps protecting the natural resources of the Earth - environmentalism should be referenced along with health and human rights. It's part of the underpinning of our international
morality and the kind of partnership we need to solve global warming, etc.

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea is preparing to move an intercontinental ballistic missile from a factory near Pyongyang to
a launch site on the east coast, a South Korean newspaper quoted a source in Washington as saying on Saturday.
The factory north of Pyongyang is the same place where the North manufactured the long-range rocket it fired on April 5
before moving it to the east-coast Musudan-ri missile range for assembly and launch, the Dong-a Ilbo newspaper said.
Regional powers are waiting to see what the North might do next after it conducted a nuclear test on Monday. South
Korea is on alert on the assessment Pyongyang may make provocative moves using conventional weapons at their
heavily armed border.
North Korea has warned of an intercontinental ballistic missile test in anger over U.N. Security Council punishment of
what Pyongyang said was a satellite launch on April 5.
"Preparations to move an ICBM from the Saneum Weapons Research Center near Pyongyang by train have been
captured by U.S. spy satellites," Dong-a Ilbo quoted a source in Washington knowledgeable about the issue as saying.
The research lab is the North's main center of research and manufacture of long-range missiles, the newspaper said.
South Korea's defense ministry could not immediately comment on the report.
North Korea fired a short-range missile on Friday from the Musudan-ri missile base, South Korea's Yonhap news agency
quoted an unnamed government source as saying. The missile appeared to be a modified surface-to-air missile with a
range of up to 160 km (99 miles), Dong-a Ilbo said.
The two Koreas have fought two deadly naval clashes on their disputed maritime border in the past 10 years and the
North has warned another could happen.
U.S. Defense Department spokesman Geoff Morrell said on Friday there had been no sign of stepped-up North Korean
military activity.
But a U.S. defense official said the United States had observed "above average activity" in the past 24 hours at a site in
North Korea that has previously been used to test fire long-range missiles.
South Korea's Defense Ministry said it had seen the number of Chinese fishing boats near the peninsula in the Yellow
Sea drop sharply in recent days and is watching the North's activities for indications of aggression.

As the conversation with these two ministers unfold, you might make the point that we have come a LONG way
on Cuba so far -- and it would be really unfortunate to jam or embarrass President Obama after all the steps he's
taken, especially since what we are seeking is an entirely reasonable result.
Agreeing to lift the 1962 sanction is a BIG step.

resurfaced in the transition office of then-President-elect Obama. What's your next act? Book deal! She's inked it
with Hyperion for an undisclosed amount. Scheduled for 2011, the nonfiction book will trace her political journey -and, we can only hope, reveal some juicy campaign gossip.

Cheryl, Jake,
I owe you both an apology. I had a very productive flight (8-10 hours in a darkened quiet cabin is just what I needed) and
finished Les Gelb's book -- it is astonishing how close our analyses are -- he says that foundation of US power is to
catalyze others to get problems solved. HRC wanted me to make the speech harder and I see some very good ways to do
that -- talking about assembling power coalitions to deal w/ troublesome states, a term Les uses.
But I also had a chance to reread the frame that you put together, much more carefully. There are a number of very
good things in it that I am going to try to work into a revision, or at least flag for how we can build off of this speech in
subsequent speeches. I am sorry that I didn't see that in the press of trying to get to this point.
I will have a revision by Sunday afternoon China time, which would allow her and you to see it Sunday morning.

Brian, First, thanks for a nice family morning and for breakfast. Always fun, always interesting and always fulfilling.
Below is a sample of the kind of emails I sent to various people (studio heads; Dan Glickman; etc), which have started to
generate concern, interest and action. AJC is also active on other fronts, as well.
Just below the email you will find the news item which first called this abomination to my attention.
I hope you can enlist Hilary's support (and please give her my personal best). We need, for many reasons, to have the
US protest and condemn this outrageous boycott and to oppose the anti-Semitism inherent in it; cf Durban. The
organizers of the festival must be convinced to reverse themselves. This, because of the inherent wrongness of it and
that if it succeeds, it will encourage and motivate those who fomented the boycott to other, probably even worse,
action. For example, there is in effect or pending (I am not certain which) a UK-Israeli treaty on film production; we
should cut off at the pass any attempts to derail it.
Our Embassy in London does not yet have our Ambassador. The charge d'affaires is Robert Lebaron who I hope will
receive appropriate instructions from DOS. If he acts quickly, it is likely that other nations will follow suit; again,
compare Durban.
This is truly appalling and serious and I earnestly solicit your assistance with the Secretary, and through you my earnest
solicitation of her assistance.
With appreciation and love, Bruce
PS Naturally, you are free to share this email.

Edinburgh film festival bows to pressure from Ken Loach over Israeli boycott
Mike Wade
A row threatened to engulf the Edinburgh International Film Festival yesterday after it bowed to pressure from the
director Ken Loach and returned a 300 grant it had received from the Israeli Embassy.
Sir Jeremy Isaacs, the former chief executive of Channel Four, accused the festival's organisers of making "an appalling
decision" and called on them to rescind it. Describing Loach's intervention as an act of censorship, he said: "They must
not allow someone who has no real position, no rock to stand on, to interfere with their programming."
The grant was intended to enable Tali Shalom Ezer, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, to travel to Scotland for a
screening of her film, Surrogate.
After days of protest against the award from pro-Palestinian organisations, Loach, an outspoken opponent of Israel's
policies in Lebanon and Gaza, urged filmgoers on Monday to boycott Edinburgh.
"The massacres and state terrorism in Gaza make this money unacceptable," he said. "With regret, I must urge all who
might consider visiting the festival to show their support for the Palestinian nation and stay away."
The intervention brought an immediate capitulation from the organisers. In a statement the festival said it accepted that
Loach spoke "on behalf of the film community, therefore we will be returning the funding issued by the Israeli Embassy".
Sir Jeremy said that he was disgusted both by Loach's actions and by the capitulation of the festival organisers. "Ken
Loach has always been critical of censorship of his own work, albeit it was many years in the past. The idea that he
should lend himself to the denial of a film-maker's right to show her work is absolutely appalling," he said. He was
"equally horrified" that festival organisers should accept that Loach was speaking on behalf of all British film-makers.
Sir Jeremy worked closely with Loach in the 1980s when, as chief executive of Channel Four, he commissioned a number
of controversial documentaries from him. One, A Question of Leadership, was made in 1981 but never broadcast,
leading to accusations of political censorship from Loach. The irony of the director's present position was all the more
obvious, given the spirit of the Edinburgh festival, Sir Jeremy said.
"It must be good for cinemagoers at an international film festival to see films by Jews, Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, to
the benefit of all," he said.
"I have admired the Edinburgh International Film Festival for many years and would like to think that this appalling
decision will be rescinded."
Loach's acclaimed new film Looking for Eric has made him the toast of the Cannes Film Festival. It is, uncharacteristically,
a comedy, although its lead character is an authentic Loach creation a Mancunian postman who goes off in search of
his idol, the footballer Eric Cantona.
Ezer's film makes no reference to war or politics. It is a romance set in a sex-therapy clinic. It won the audience award at
an international women's film festival in Israel recently.

Lord Janner of Braunstone, a Labour peer and former chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said that he was
disappointed by the festival's decision. "By banning the Israeli Embassy from supporting a film-maker the festival is
helping to exclude Israelis from British cultural life, something that is clearly unfair."
Last night a spokesman for the EIFF said that although it had returned 300 to the Israeli Embassy, the festival itself
would fund Ms Shalom-Ezer's travel to Edinburgh out of its own budget

Obama picks financial backer for UK ambassador post Chicago friend Louis Susman chosen for plum posting despite
president's promise to end cronyism in Washington Ewen MacAskill in Washington Wednesday May 20 2009
guardian.co.uk
A little bit of Chicago's ruthless and combative political machine is soon to descend on the decorous calm of the Court of
St James. Despite promising to end cronyism in Washington, Barack Obama is about to appoint one of his home town
friends and financial backers to the plum posting of US ambassador to London.
The next ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary will be Louis Susman, a lawyer and financier with little
experience of foreign affairs.
The appointment will end months of speculation. Susman's name first surfaced in a diary column in the Washington Post
in February, but Caroline Kennedy was also mentioned, as was Oprah Winfrey, another of Obama's Chicago supporters.
There was no official confirmation of Susman's nomination today, but the Guardian has learned that the paperwork has
been completed. Buckingham Palace approved the appointment this month and Obama will announce it shortly.
London has become a retirement posting for many backers of US presidents, offering a comfortable home in one of the
best mansions in the city, Winfield House in Regent's Park.
Recent ambassadors have been political appointees more interested in country walks than Iraq or nuclear nonproliferation. Most of the work is left to the number twos at the embassy, career diplomats.
Susman, 71, a vice-president of Citigroup until he retired in February, has long been a backer of the Democrats,
nicknamed the Vacuum Cleaner by the Chicago Tribune for his ability to hoover up campaign funding. "I don't think
anyone enjoys raising money, but for some reason I seem to have a knack," he told the paper. Susman, who lives in an
expensive neighbourhood of Chicago overlooking Lake Michigan, raised at least $500,000 (?320,000) for Obama's
campaign and a further $300,000 for his inauguration.
He is so much a part of Obama's inner circle that he was invited to an exclusive party on the Sunday before the
inauguration. Other guests included Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, who typifies the sharp-suited, foul-mouthed
approach of those brought up on Chicago politics.
London is not the only posting being used to reward political supporters.
Other positions in Europe are expected to be filled on the basis of patronage. Dan Rooney, owner of the Pittsburgh
Steelers football team, who campaigned for Obama, is to be the ambassador to Dublin.

The appointments will disappoint former US career diplomats who have been pressing Obama to end the practice,
especially since he promised to offer more of the top jobs to diplomats. In the Washington Post in December, a retired
diplomat with 30 years' service, Morton Abramowitz, called on Obama to "declare that he will not appoint ambassadors
who have secured their posts through financial contributions and who have little background to merit any such
appointment".
Ronald Neumann, a former career diplomat and ambassador and president of the Washington-based American
Academy of Diplomacy, wrote to Obama last year, saying ambassadors should have had experience of the country they
are being appointed to. Neumann said today: "You would think with our most important ally we might occasionally send
someone with some experience."
Historically, about 25% to 30% of the diplomatic posts have been political appointees. It is too early to say, but Obama's
ratio could yet be lower.
The president's choice of Susman could be viewed as a snub to the UK. The relationship between the Obama
administration and the UK government got off to a bad start. At least one member of the administration was irritated
over the leaking during the campaign of a memo from the British ambassador, Sir Nigel Sheinwald, assessing Obama as
"aloof". But the minor rows over the memo, the removal of the Churchill bust from the Oval office, the DVD present to
Gordon Brown and other perceived slights have been presentational problems rather than a sign of ruptured relations.
Obama's predecessor, George W Bush, sent two of his financier backers to the
UK: William Farish, a Texas multimillionaire, and Robert Tuttle, a California car dealer. The lack of an experienced
diplomat in London was felt most in the runup to the war in Iraq in 2003, with Farish invisible when a figure was needed
to put the US case on camera and in print.

Hillary: Spoke with Jonathan Powell. What we heard is accurate. More: Labour will suffer a large defeat in the European
elections on June 4. (New poll in Guardian shows widespread disaffection with all parties as a result of the Commons
expenses scandal; 27 percent voting for fringe parties.) Gordon will attempt to overwhelm news coverage of the loss
with a cabinet reshuffle, as early as the next day, June 5. The plot (sounds like the Tudors): David is the target, from
multiple angles and motives, personal ambition mixed with anti-Blairism. Peter has always wanted to be Foreign
Secretary, a job held by his grandfather, Herbert Morrison. (Morrison was also deputy PM, why doesn't Peter want
that?) New Labour people regard Peter as more ambitious than New Labour at this point. He supported Gordon's utterly
misbegotten and wildly unpopular proposal to raise the top tax rate to 50 percent. The fallout is less resentment of the
affluent to paying more or grudging understanding of need for new revenues as it is a sense that Labour under Gordon is
abandoning the project for social aspiration and opportunity that is at the heart of the New Labour message. Ed Balls,
one of Gordon's closest longtime advisers, is also determined to topple David. Balls is a contemporary of David's, wants
to be leader of the party himself, and continues the Gordon v. Tony bitter rivalry into the future. Balls is currently
Minister for Children and Schools and was linked to Damian McBride (Gordon's hatchetman, who has trashed Blairites,
got caught out on his blogging scheme to smear Cameron). If Gordon names Peter to David's job, Balls would take
Peter's and become Business Secretary. David would be pushed into Home Secretary. Once Balls takes Peter's job, Balls
will likely reverse Peter's privatization proposal for the Royal Mail to win support from party's left-wing base, beginning
of his campaign against David for post-Gordon leadership struggle. Tony sees the situation as terminal. Hope to speak wi
th him soon. He is trying to become President of Europe if and when Lisbon treaty passes. Jonathan made an interesting
and ironic comment about Colin Powell, given Tony's deference to him, that Powell's flaw was being too deferential to
Bush. From bitter experience, Jonathan is wishing you well, be close to the president, and advance your ideas, too.
There's more for when we can talk. Sid

his legislative bid as 'it is my expectation, based on very recent conversations, that the Secretary of State will move forward
with implementing all of the benefits provided in that provision in the very near future.' The congressman invited to the
hearing Michael Guest, the former US ambassador to Romania who in 2007 left the Foreign Service, citing unfair treatment of
his partner."
In February, Rep. Tammy Baldwin sent a letter co-signed by Senators Russ Feingold and Ron Wyden, and Rep. Ileana RosLehtinen to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking that inequities be remedied. Clinton said that such remedies were "on a
fast timeline."

This was on Paul Krugman's blog yesterday. I, for one, enjoyed it. Hope you're very well Hillary.
Ahem
Politico:
Health care could soon go the way of the automobile, with users having no choice but to buy
insurance coverage.
Within four years, every American could be required to own health insurance or pay their way
through tax penalties. The odds of such a sea change rose last week when chief Democratic and
Republican Senate negotiators on a health care bill acknowledged that many on the Finance
Committee considered the so-called individual mandate essential to lower insurance costs for
those who already have coverage.
President Barack Obama didn't embrace the individual mandate during the campaign, which
means he would essentially start from scratch in terms of selling the idea to voters.
The mandate was a central policy difference with Hillary Clinton, who argued that a mandate
was the only way to achieve universal coverage. Obama disagreed, saying enough people would
purchase insurance voluntarily if the costs could be brought down.
Progressive policy experts widely agreed that Obama's plan would have left out about 15 million
people. Clinton, with an assist from New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, regularly
assailed Obama for his no-mandate position.
Actually, I don't care who gets credit, as long as we actually get universal health care.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 25, 2009
STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT REGARDING NORTH KOREA
Today, North Korea said that it has conducted a nuclear test in violation of international law. It appears to also have
attempted a short range missile launch. These actions, while not a surprise given its statements and actions to date, are
a matter of grave concern to all nations. North Korea's attempts to develop nuclear weapons, as well as its ballistic
missile program, constitute a threat to international peace and security.
By acting in blatant defiance of the United Nations Security Council, North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the
international community. North Korea's behavior increases tensions and undermines stability in Northeast Asia. Such
provocations will only serve to deepen North Korea's isolation. It will not find international acceptance unless it
abandons its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.
The danger posed by North Korea's threatening activities warrants action by the international community. We have
been and will continue working with our allies and partners in the Six-Party Talks as well as other members of the U.N.
Security Council in the days ahead.

Miliband...
Hillary: Spoke with Jonathan Powell. What we heard is accurate. More: Labour will suffer a large
defeat in the European elections on June 4. (New poll in Guardian shows widespread disaffection
with all parties as a result of the Commons expenses scandal; 27 percent voting for fringe parties.)
Gordon will attempt to overwhelm news coverage of the loss with a cabinet reshuffle, as early as the
next day, June 5. The plot (sounds like the Tudors): David is the target, from multiple angles and
motives, personal ambition mixed with anti-Blairism. Peter has always wanted to be Foreign
Secretary, a job held by his grandfather, Herbert Morrison. (Morrison was also deputy PM, why
doesn't Peter want that?) New Labour people regard Peter as more ambitious than New Labour at
this point. He supported Gordon's utterly misbegotten and wildly unpopular proposal to raise the top
tax rate to 50 percent. The fallout is less resentment of the affluent to paying more or grudging
understanding of need for new revenues as it is a sense that Labour under Gordon is abandoning the
project for social aspiration and opportunity that is at the heart of the New Labour message. Ed Balls,
one of Gordon's closest longtime advisers, is also determined to topple David. Balls is a
contemporary of David's, wants to be leader of the party himself, and continues the Gordon v. Tony
bitter rivalry into the future. Balls is currently Minister for Children and Schools and was linked to
Damian McBride (Gordon's hatchetman, who has trashed Blairites, got caught out on his blogging
scheme to smear Cameron). If Gordon names Peter to David's job, Balls would take Peter's and
become Business Secretary. David would be pushed into Home Secretary. Once Balls takes Peter's
job, Balls will likely reverse Peter's privatization proposal for the Royal Mail to win support from party's
left-wing base, beginning of his campaign against David for post-Gordon leadership struggle. Tony
sees the situation as terminal. Hope to speak with him soon. He is trying to become President of
Europe if and when Lisbon treaty passes. Jonathan made an interesting and ironic comment about
Colin Powell, given Tony's deference to him, that Powell's flaw was being too deferential to Bush.
From bitter experience, Jonathan is wishing you well, be close to the president, and advance your
ideas, too. There's more for when we can talk. Sid

women finally win in Kuwait!
4 women were elected to be members of parliament for the first time. As you remember (because you were an eloquent
voice for them), women finally won the right to vote and stand for office in 2005, but failed to win seats in the two previous
election cycles.
You know some of the women who won, including Rola Dashti, who was one of the women who got the Vital Voices
award and had been part of the long-time struggle.
I told Lissa. You might want to mention in your Barnard speech.

Hi hillary,
Please call me about this if you have a moment. The message is self-explanatory, apparently there is no american voice
in place to speak out or lead on this issue so --there is no voice. I believe you know Bruce Ramer who is my brother-inlaw, former president of american jewish committee and well-respected entertainment lawyer in la. And, he is right.
Look forward to seeing you next week in washington. Best, brian
Brian, First, thanks for a nice family morning and for breakfast. Always fun, always interesting and always fulfilling.
Below is a sample of the kind of emails I sent to various people (studio heads; Dan Glickman; etc), which have started to
generate concern, interest and action. AJC is also active on other fronts, as well.
Just below the email you will find the news item which first called this abomination to my attention.

I hope you can enlist Hilary's support (and please give her my personal best). We need, for many reasons, to have the
US protest and condemn this outrageous boycott and to oppose the anti-Semitism inherent in it; cf Durban. The
organizers of the festival must be convinced to reverse themselves. This, because of the inherent wrongness of it and
that if it succeeds, it will encourage and motivate those who fomented the boycott to other, probably even worse,
action. For example, there is in effect or pending (I am not certain which) a UK-Israeli treaty on film production; we
should cut off at the pass any attempts to derail it.
Our Embassy in London does not yet have our Ambassador. The charge d'affaires is Robert Lebaron who I hope will
receive appropriate instructions from DOS. If he acts quickly, it is likely that other nations will follow suit; again,
compare Durban.
This is truly appalling and serious and I earnestly solicit your assistance with the Secretary, and through you my earnest
solicitation of her assistance.
With appreciation and love, Bruce

Edinburgh film festival bows to pressure from Ken Loach over Israeli boycott
Mike Wade
A row threatened to engulf the Edinburgh International Film Festival yesterday after it bowed to pressure from the
director Ken Loach and returned a 300 grant it had received from the Israeli Embassy.
Sir Jeremy Isaacs, the former chief executive of Channel Four, accused the festival's organisers of making "an appalling
decision" and called on them to rescind it. Describing Loach's intervention as an act of censorship, he said: "They must
not allow someone who has no real position, no rock to stand on, to interfere with their programming."

The grant was intended to enable Tali Shalom Ezer, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, to travel to Scotland for a
screening of her film, Surrogate.
After days of protest against the award from pro-Palestinian organisations, Loach, an outspoken opponent of Israel's
policies in Lebanon and Gaza, urged filmgoers on Monday to boycott Edinburgh.
"The massacres and state terrorism in Gaza make this money unacceptable," he said. "With regret, I must urge all who
might consider visiting the festival to show their support for the Palestinian nation and stay away."
The intervention brought an immediate capitulation from the organisers. In a statement the festival said it accepted that
Loach spoke "on behalf of the film community, therefore we will be returning the funding issued by the Israeli Embassy".
Sir Jeremy said that he was disgusted both by Loach's actions and by the capitulation of the festival organisers. "Ken
Loach has always been critical of censorship of his own work, albeit it was many years in the past. The idea that he
should lend himself to the denial of a film-maker's right to show her work is absolutely appalling," he said. He was
"equally horrified" that festival organisers should accept that Loach was speaking on behalf of all British film-makers.
Sir Jeremy worked closely with Loach in the 1980s when, as chief executive of Channel Four, he commissioned a number
of controversial documentaries from him. One, A Question of Leadership, was made in 1981 but never broadcast,
leading to accusations of political censorship from Loach. The irony of the director's present position was all the more
obvious, given the spirit of the Edinburgh festival, Sir Jeremy said.
"It must be good for cinemagoers at an international film festival to see films by Jews, Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, to
the benefit of all," he said.
"I have admired the Edinburgh International Film Festival for many years and would like to think that this appalling
decision will be rescinded."
Loach's acclaimed new film Looking for Eric has made him the toast of the Cannes Film Festival. It is, uncharacteristically,
a comedy, although its lead character is an authentic Loach creation a Mancunian postman who goes off in search of
his idol, the footballer Eric Cantona.
Ezer's film makes no reference to war or politics. It is a romance set in a sex-therapy clinic. It woni the audience award at
an international women's film festival in Israel recently.
Lord Janner of Braunstone, a Labour peer and former chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said that he was
disappointed by the festival's decision. "By banning the Israeli Embassy from supporting a film-maker the festival is
helping to exclude Israelis from British cultural life, something that is clearly unfair."
Last night a spokesman for the EIFF said that although it had returned E300 to the Israeli Embassy, the festival itself
would fund Ms Shalom-Ezer's travel to Edinburgh out of its own budget

AMS did not like any of this both for the substance and because she did not write it so we did not share it with you
today. Then I decided to share it with you anyway for any value it has for you.
Frame:
The world we live in today is inextricably interconnected. Together we succeed. Apart we fail. In the Obama
Administration, we will use smart power to advance to our shared security, shared prosperity and shared humanity.
In advancing our shared security, we seek to:
Expand human rights and the conditions that promote respect for human rights
Support the development of health systems that support healthier societies and
confront the spread of pandemic disease (e.g., AlDs)
How we achieve these goals:
We will advance these goals through shared responsibility and the application of smart power. America has the
responsibility to lead, but can only lead in partnership with others. Smart power means elevating and
integrating diplomacy and development.
DIPLOMACY:
Focus on priority partnerships:

listening and mutual respect which has begun already and will continue
being accountable for the challenges we create and demanding that our partners are
similarly accountable;
focusing on government to people, and people to people connections using new
technology to create buy in from bottom up so shared responsibility is experienced
on the ground and sustainable;
eliminating the obstacles to cooperation that stand in the way of us achieve our
goals (e.g., resolving Cyprus so Turkey can enter the EU; engaging Iran to create
greater accountability among EU partners if engagement fails)
creating work plans to drive cooperation on our shared agenda: tasks, timetables
and benchmarks for each country
DEVELOPMENT:
Establish and implement against our critical priorities:

By MATTHEW LEE
WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will soon announce that gay American diplomats will be
given benefits similar to those that their heterosexual counterparts enjoy, U.S. officials said Saturday.
In a notice to be sent soon to State Department employees, Clinton says regulations that denied same-sex couples and
their families the same rights and privileges that straight diplomats enjoyed are "unfair and must end," as they harm U.S.
diplomacy.
"Providing training, medical care and other benefits to domestic partners promote the cohesiveness, safety and
effectiveness of our posts abroad," she says in the message, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.
"It will also help the department attract and retain personnel in a competitive environment where domestic partner
benefits and allowances are increasingly the norm for world-class employers," she says.
"At bottom, the department will provide these benefits for both opposite-sex and same-sex domestic partners because
it is the right thing to do," Clinton says.
Among the benefits that will now be granted gay diplomats: the right of domestic partners to hold diplomatic passports,
government-paid travel for their partners and families to and from foreign posts, and the use of U.S. medical facilities
abroad.
In addition, gay diplomats' families will now be eligible for U.S. government emergency evacuations and training courses
at the Foreign Service Institute, the message says.
The announcement, expected this week, was provided to the AP by a State Department official who is a member of the
Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies organization. Two department officials not affiliated with the organization
confirmed its accuracy.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publically about the changes.

*I/0e rs*
Heads up -- A friend just sent this to me. Does anyone have any intel? This is a huge step and kudos to Sec. Clinton for
expending the political capital to be the first federal agency to do this!
FYI. Berman just spoke about it.
Enact two items sought by the Foreign Service: elimination of a rule that inadvertently reduces the pay of officers
serving overseas by as much as 20 percent, and extension to same-sex partners of the benefits given to spouses and
their families, such as access to U.S. health care and moving expenses. This last provision is likely to provoke GOP
objections.
I don't have the source my friend used, but hopefully some of you might. If this is true (which I hope it is), we have to
start gearing up for the battle to support her now!
Yours in the struggle for equality,

That is why the Secretary of Defense has come to Congress and asked that more
resources be devoted to foreign affairs. As Secretary Gates said in his recent testimony
with Secretary Clinton, "I believe that the challenges confronting our nation cannot be
dealt with by military means alone. They instead require whole-of-government
approaches -- but that can only be done if the State Department is given resources
befitting the scope of its mission across the globe. This is particularly important in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, where our ability to provide resources beyond military power
will be the decisive factor." Or, as Senators Kerry and Lugar noted in their successful
bipartisan effort to fully fund international affairs in the Budget Resolution, "From
pandemics to climate change to failed states, this century's security challenges demand a
new level of commitment to diplomacy and development. With this relatively small
investment, we are making significant strides toward restoring America's leadership role
in the world."
This budget -- a total of $53.9 billion, of which $48.6 billion is for the State Department
and USAID -- is a 9 percent increase over the total FY 2009 funding level, including
supplemental appropriations. It reflects the Obama Administration's commitment to
fiscal discipline and transparency by shifting funding for predictable and recurring
programs, previously funded in emergency supplemental appropriations, into the
FY 2010 request.
.We understand that this is a difficult moment to ask the American people to support even
a modest increase in spending overseas. At the same time, the American people
understand that our future security depends on avoiding future conflicts that will force us
to pay a terrible cost in lives and dollars. Humanitarian objectives are also security
requirements. Children need basic education to pursue opportunities rather than hatred;
parents need jobs to reject the appeal of extremists who often seem to offer the only way
to support their families; and for many, survival requires minimal access to basic health
care services. With this request, we seek to strengthen America's position of global
leadership -- ensuring that we remain a force for peace and prosperity in the world,
advancing our own security even as we expand the circle of dignity and opportunity for
people left outside of it.
Five Smart Power Funding Objectives
First, we must build the civilian capacity within the Department of State and USAID
necessary for 21st Century missions.
Our diplomatic and development missions have evolved. Foreign and civil service
personnel deploy alongside the military in Afghanistan and Iraq, reaching far beyond
embassy walls to connect with citizens and communities whose support we enlist to
suppress insurgency and drive out enemies like the Taliban and al-Qaeda. They build the
capacity of fledgling political parties, ministries, and trade associations. They help create
the conditions for economic growth and democratic progress, and lay the groundwork for
expanded access to health, education, and other basic needs. And they build the alliances
necessary to use smart power; including multilateral engagement and private sector

with an immediately deployable civilian counterpart to the U.S. military, ready and able
to help stabilize countries in the transition from war to peace.
Included in that request is $40 million for a Stabilization Bridge Fund, which will provide
the Civilian Responders immediate resources for critical transition and stabilization
programs to reduce the need for long-term deployments of military forces or
peacekeepers. Separately, we also request $76 million for a Rapid Response Fund to help
stabilize turmoil in new and fragile democracies, such as what we saw during Kenya's
most recent election, where a quick infusion of resources can help reconcile competing
interests and support the will of the people.
In order to increase personnel and conflict response capacity, we also need the tools and
infrastructure to enable our overseas personnel to do their jobs. The FY 2010 budget
includes $2.095 billion to construct safe, secure, functional new embassies; a
strengthened American presence in critical emerging areas; and expanded and secure
global classified and unclassified information technology networks. These resources also
support efforts to improve the efficiency of diplomatic and development operations,
including modernizing antiquated software systems; integrating State and USAID
information technology; participating in e-government initiatives that promote
transparency, accountability and citizen engagement; upgrading reporting and financial
management systems, and consolidating State and USAID administrative platforms.
Smart power means using all of the tools available to reach out to the world, and the FY
2010 budget requests $1.13 billion for public diplomacy and educational and cultural
exchanges, providing the resources required to engage and influence people around the
world, advance understanding of our country's principles and values, and facilitate the
formation of strategic partnerships through the exchange of people and ideas. These
programs connect people to people -- exchanging knowledge, information, and expertise,
and bring people together around shared values. Public diplomacy programs often help
build the sustainable relationships with local communities that become foundations of our
development programs. And in a world in which 60 percent of the population is under
the age of 30, our youth programs are among the most critical investments we can make.
Extracurricular programs, educational opportunities, and exchanges help divert at-risk
youth away from the influence of violent actors, and the use of innovative new media
greatly expands our reach into this critical population.
Second, we must promote long-term development and human security -- both from
the top-down and bottom-up.
Americans have seen first-hand the threats that emerge from ungoverned spaces -- the
dangers that can take root with poverty, political oppression, and disenfranchisement.
Elevating development alongside diplomacy as an equal pillar of our foreign policy is not
only a moral commitment, but a national security imperative. Our superb military can
stem conflict, but it cannot lay the foundations of long-term economic growth, good
governance, and human capacity that will result in sustainable peace and prosperity. In
the long run, the more effective we are at development, the less we will be forced to turn
to defense.

made through the Millennium Challenge Corporation and the President's Emergency
Plan for AIDS Relief.
Food Security: The President announced at the G20 meeting in London that we will
seek to double U.S. financial support for agricultural development in developing
countries in order to, in his words, "give people the tools they need to lift themselves out
of poverty." The FY 2010 request makes good on this commitment by including $1.36
billion, an increase of 62 percent from last year, including the FY 2009 Spring
Supplemental Request, to address the root causes of food insecurity by increasing
agricultural production and productivity. Our strategy meets short-term needs and builds
long-term foundations to reduce food insecurity by improving production, increasing
rural household incomes, improving the nutritional status of children, and reducing
reliance on international food aid. Another $1.99 billion will be used to provide food aid,
of which $300 million will support emergency food security interventions such as cash
voucher and cash transfer programs and the local and regional purchase of food.
Education: Our request for basic education expands the United States' leadership in
global efforts to help all girls and boys access quality basic education. The FY 2010
request ramps up support for basic education to nearly $1 billion, an increase of 26
percent over the current year, to expand access to schooling, improve educational quality,
increase emphasis on educational results, and provide alternatives to extremist ideology.
The request expands focus to include at-risk and out-of-school youth, and programs are
coordinated with partner countries, other donors, and multilateral institutions, including
the Education For All Fast-Track Initiative, to reduce the global education deficit.
Global Climate Change: Since taking office, President Obama and Secretary Clinton
have made it clear that the United States is fully engaged and committed to meeting the
challenges of climate change. The Obama Administration is bringing significant
resources to the table -- almost a $1 billion overall U.S. Government increase, including
funds requested by the Treasury Department, signifying robust and ambitious measures
by the Obama Administration to combat climate change and help put the world on a
pathway to a low carbon future.
Within the State and USAID budget, the FY 2010 request includes $309 million of
additional international climate change assistance, added to an FY 2009 base of $272
million for a total of $581 million. These funds will help developing countries most
vulnerable to the impacts of climate change adapt and become more climate-resilient and
also assist them in pursuing low carbon economies through the development of clean
energy alternatives. Further, we will support international programs aimed at reducing
emissions from the energy sector, industry, and urban areas and encourage sustainable
water and land use, including deforestation, which accounts for about 17 percent of
global greenhouse gas emission.
Global Health: The United States continues to lead on global health in HIV/AIDS, TB,
and malaria, and we are now taking the next steps that will save the lives of millions
more women, children and families in the developing world. The FY 2010 budget
request includes $7.6 billion for global health programs for the Global Health and Child

Survival (GHCS) Account. This request is part of a six-year, $63 billion effort to launch,
alongside our existing commitments and partners, an integrated approach to increase
resources for maternal and child health, family planning and neglected tropical diseases
with the potential to enhance dramatically quality of life, exponentially increase the
number of lives saved, and break the cycle of poverty and disease.
To combat HIV/AIDS, this budget provides a $100 million increase for HIV \AIDS
bilateral programs over FY 2009 enacted and demonstrates this Administration's
commitment to continuing the fight against HIV/AIDS as the centerpiece of its global
health agenda. In FY 2010, HIV\AIDS funding is almost 75% of the GHCS funding. In
addition, a total of $585 million is requested to support the malaria initiative to reduce
malaria deaths by 50 percent in each of 15 priority countries; and the $525 million
requested for maternal and child health and $475 million requested for family planning is
an increase over the robust levels appropriated by Congress in FY 2009.
Third, we must enhance strategic bilateral and multilateral partnerships critical to
global security, stability, and prosperity.
We must renew our diplomacy and target our development assistance to address global
threats too big and complex to meet alone, helping to develop the capacity of willing
partners to work with us to solve global problems. Our strategy focuses on states that can
or must be partners in regional peace and prosperity and those tipping-point states whose
frailties present regional and global threats. And it seeks to leverage multilateral
engagement, always a force multiplier in addressing challenges of mutual concern.
Our simultaneous top-down and bottom-up approach allows us to focus on building
much-needed capabilities in government institutions while at the same time reaching out
directly to meet humanitarian needs of the population. As the President and Secretary
have made clear, the Administration is committed to ensuring that our spending in these
areas is guided by clear plans with achievable outcomes. Such assistance will not be a
blank check -- we will hold ourselves and others accountable and establish clear
indicators for success.
In Afghanistan, we are seeking to help develop self-reliant Afghanistan Security Forces;
promoting capable, accountable and effective government at the provincial, local and
national levels; ramping up quick impact civilian assistance efforts that promote licit
economic opportunities to support counter-insurgency efforts; and increasing alternative
development funding as part of our counter-narcotics strategy. The FY 2010 request
includes significant resources for non-military assistance to Afghanistan -- $2.79 billion - an increase of four percent over the FY 2009 total, including the Spring Supplemental
Request.
In Pakistan, we will work toward improving Pakistan's capability to fight extremists;
strengthening government capacity and the rule of law; providing emergency economic
relief and promoting economic growth, agriculture, infrastructure, and education as
alternatives to extremist ideology; and developing a strategic communications strategy to
counter terrorist propaganda. The FY 2010 request for Pakistan is $1.6 billion, an 11

percent increase from FY 2009 and a tripling of non-military aid from $457 million in FY
2008 to $1.3 billion in FY 2010.
And in Iraq, our funding request advances efforts to continue our support toward greater
Iraqi self reliance. The FY 2010 request of $500 million, a decrease of 18 percent from
the FY 2009 total, focuses on key areas that will help the Iraqis lay a foundation for
lasting peace and stability, including strengthened institutional capacity at both the
national and provincial levels, assistance to displaced Iraqis, and support to advance
national reconciliation.
In the broader Middle East, we will continue to work to support greater stability and
prosperity. The United States remains committed to a comprehensive and secure peace
between Israel and its Arab neighbors, including a two-state solution to the IsraeliPalestinian conflict. We remain steadfast in our commitment to Israel's security. The FY
2010 request includes $2.8 billion for Israel, a $225 million increase from FY 2009, to
support the second year of a ten-year, $30 billion commitment to help Israel maintain its
qualitative military edge. Other U.S. assistance to the countries of the region, including
Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, support this objective by fostering stability, security and the
economic prosperity of our allies and mitigating the influence of extremists.
Our assistance also supports the conditions necessary for a Palestinian state to be realized
while continuing to meet immediate humanitarian needs. We are seeking funds to help
strengthen the Palestinian Authority's governing institutions. These steps are essential to
resuming serious negotiations toward a comprehensive peace in the region and
establishment of a Palestinian state that will live side-by-side with Israel in peace and
security.
The FY 2010 request includes $502 million for the West Bank and Gaza to support
reforms of the security sector; improve local infrastructure; build institutional capacity;
strengthen moderate voices, including in the private sector; create jobs; provide necessary
humanitarian assistance; and promote initiatives in health and education. In all cases, our
assistance programs in Gaza will be based on work with fully-vetted private individuals,
organizations, and public international organizations, and will be carried out in a
transparent, accountable manner to help ensure that aid does not end up in the hands of
terrorist organizations. We will work with the Palestinian Authority and our
implementing partners to follow established safeguards that will ensure that our funding
is used only where, and for whom, it is intended.
Finally, in keeping with our prevention strategy, the FY 2010 request increases funding
for Yemen by 83 percent, to $55 million. We believe we must work to help keep Yemen
out of failed state status. We have requested significant across-the-board development
increases in education, health, and jobs creation to mitigate this threat.
Closer to home, we seek to strengthen ties with our partners in Mexico and Central and
South America. Our approach is one of true collaboration, targeted to needs they identify
and building the security capacity of the state while also focusing on the root causes of
crime in the region, including economic inequality, the lack of educational opportunities,

stable, democratic and moderate voice, and a beacon of promise around the world.
Finally, our programs in Burma, Cambodia, and Vietnam not only foster a more vibrant
civil society, but put in place the building blocks for prosperity and wellbeing for
vulnerable populations by investing in public health, education, and broad-based
economic development.
In Europe, we are seeking to support policies geared to promote a continent whole, free
and at peace. That includes supporting democratic reformers in Georgia, Ukraine and
Moldova. For Russia, our request seeks to support the efforts of those in Russia
promoting democratic reform while cooperating with the government in areas of common
interest. For Southeast Europe, ensuring the success of newly-independent Kosovo is a
top priority, followed closely by the need to facilitate progress on reform in Serbia and
prevent ethnic-based crises that would prevent implementation of the Dayton Accords in
Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition, the request restores full U.S. support for the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) budget, preventing further
operating shortfalls. Providing full financial support to the OSCE is in keeping with the
Administration's emphasis on revitalizing multilateral engagement, which includes active
participation on our part, as well as a commitment to paying our dues on time and in full.
In all of these areas -- from Iraq and Afghanistan to the Balkans -- our objectives and
investments are greatly enhanced when pursued in partnership with the international
community. Many of our foreign policy challenges rely on coalitions of like-minded
partners, forged within our international institutions. And as demonstrated through our
support for U.N. peacekeeping activities, the dollars we contribute to these fora leverage
significant returns.
Therefore, success lies in maintaining U.S. leadership in the international community.
Responsible global leadership means meeting our financial commitments to international
institutions, even as we work with them to institute reforms to strengthen their efficacy.
The Administration's budget requests $4.1 billion for assessed contributions to
multilateral organizations and peacekeeping assessments, demonstrating our resolve to
work together with members of the international community in the pursuit of common
goals. Our overall request meets U.S. financial commitments to the United Nations and
other international organizations that support a wide range of U.S. national security,
foreign policy, and economic goals, including full funding of all 2010 scheduled
payments to the Multilateral Development Banks, and a portion of outstanding arrears.
Fourth, we must strengthen global security capabilities.
One of the most basic responsibilities of government is to provide security and order to
its people. Our allies and partners must be able to defend their territory and borders
against both external and internal attacks. That is why our strategy seeks to forge
partnerships among states to help build global security capacity in a host of areas,
including peacekeeping, police training, non-proliferation, and combating nuclear
terrorism. Notable examples include our Cooperative Threat Reduction Program with
Russia; the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism, which brings together 75

partner countries; and the Proliferation Security Initiative, a global effort that aims to stop
trafficking of weapons of mass destruction supported by over 90 countries.
The FY 2010 request also includes $90 million to launch a new multi-year effort to help
address the wide array of threats posed by terrorist organizations. The Shared Security
Partnership will allow the United States to forge strategic partnerships with allies to
confront common global extremist threats, building on previous law enforcement and
counter-terrorist efforts to create a regional and global information-sharing and
coordination infrastructure.
This budget also continues funding for the Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI),
which builds and maintains the capacity and effectiveness of peace operations worldwide.
GPOI is on track to complete its global target of training 75,000 peacekeepers, and is
shifting its focus from the direct training of peacekeepers to building sustainable,
indigenous capacity. Funding will also enhance the ability of our partners to address
counterterrorism threats through the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership and the
East Africa Regional Strategic Initiative programs; reform military forces in the
aftermath of conflict into professional military forces with respect for the rule of law,
including those in Southern Sudan, Liberia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and
Somalia; and address critical regional coastal and border security problems in Africa.
Finally, our resource request for nonproliferation, anti-terrorism, and demining activities
is up 17 percent, including increases to expand the terrorist interdiction watchlist system
and efforts to destroy conventional weapons stockpiles.
Fifth, we must maintain the resources to respond to urgent humanitarian needs.
The U.S. remains the leader in responding to the most vulnerable populations, providing
basic life-sustaining support in the face of disasters; and protection of refugees, conflict
victims, and internally displaced persons overseas. Our humanitarian assistance
programs are the most fundamental expression of our values, from responding to the
devastating impacts of the cyclone in Burma to the victims of conflict and instability in
Darfur, Zimbabwe, and now Sri Lanka and Pakistan. We have also seen that leading with
these values has a multiplier effect. It was our humanitarian assistance in the aftermath
of the earthquake in Pakistan that began to turn the sentiments of Pakistani citizens away
from extremists, and to see the United States as a force for good in their lives. And we
know that the deep human suffering -- the lack of access to the most basic of needs -- can
feed instability and further conflict.
Our request aims to budget fully for expected requirements for refugees, rather than
continuing to rely on supplemental appropriations. The request includes $4.1 billion in
refugee, disaster, displaced persons and emergency food assistance, which is part of our
comprehensive U.S. food security efforts. In addition to basic needs, these resources
assist refugees with voluntary repatriation, local integration, or permanent resettlement in
a third country, and provide critical humanitarian relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction
in countries around the world affected by natural and man-made disasters.

Securing the resources to promote our goals is an important step toward restoring
American global leadership. But resources are not enough. With leadership comes
responsibility, and especially in these difficult economic times, we must be better
managers of our resources. Congress has been at the forefront of identifying ways to
improve our assistance policies and practice, and we thank you for your leadership and
welcome your ongoing consultation.
I hope that the simple fact that I am here before you today is a sign of our commitment to
greater fiscal discipline and efficiency in international affairs. One of Secretary Clinton's
first orders of business was to fill for the first time the position of Deputy Secretary of
State for Management and Resources. This reflected her seriousness and determination
that the Department must be a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars and maximize
resources for greatest effect.
Among my first duties has been to undertake a comprehensive review of our foreign
assistance programs. Secretary Clinton has asked me to make recommendations on new
ways to speed the cause of development in nations left behind by poverty, to use foreign
aid to buttress our foreign policy aims, and to bring the full power of our resources to
bear. This effort is well underway, and we look forward to working with you as it
evolves.
At that same time, we are already acting on some of the principles that will help guide
our new approach to foreign assistance. We are learning from real-world experiences
what works and what does not. We are also rethinking where to focus our attention to
best advance our nation's security.
In particular, let me highlight the importance of an integrated approach to development to
our efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan. To get our policies right toward these two
critically important countries, we must deploy our resources for maximum impact.
Both the State Department and USAID are building upon the Administration's overall
strategic review to craft and implement a comprehensive effort that focuses on ways that
civilian agencies -- State, USAID, working together the Department of Agriculture and
others -- can bolster both security and development. We recognize that over the long
haul, we will not have one without the other. Different agencies have different tools and
different strengths. We are working to unite them behind a common mission.
You can see a similar focus on unity of effort in an entirely different initiative -- the
Administration's efforts to develop a new food security strategy to dramatically reduce
global hunger and poverty. The State Department is leading a whole-of-government
process to design and implement this new strategy. We are creating an inventory of each
agency's programs, identifying gaps in our current programming, and coordinating
among all agencies to develop a shared strategy.
Both of these efforts underscore the need to develop basic mechanisms that allow us to
integrate our strengths -- acting as a sort of diplomatic force multiplier under a shared
12

mission. State and USAID account for about 70 percent of official U.S. development
assistance; we are just two of the nearly 20 U.S. agencies involved in providing foreign
aid. We must care more about strategy, unity and results than we do about turf. We must
be able to look at a country, a function, or an objective, and be able to identify everything
that the US. government is doing in that area -- not just State. To meet the challenges of
a world being bound closer together, we need a government that is working closer
together.
Similarly, we must speak with one voice. Our partners abroad have sometimes received
mixed messages from the array of agencies working in international affairs, each of
which has its own rules of engagement. Our ability to get results on the ground will
depend on our ability to field coordinated teams, both in Washington and around the
globe. This is why we are so urgently focused on better coordination of U.S. efforts in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, and it is why we are reviewing options about how best to
develop systems and incentives to strengthen coordination across our foreign affairs
programs.
Let me also mention another key principle behind our reform efforts: accountability. We
must demand results. That means defining specific strategic priorities; developing and
validating ways to measure performance with OMB, Congress, and other key
stakeholders; and making budget and program-management decisions on the basis of
results -- or lack thereof.
Finally, we are mindful that in an age of economic crisis and foreign challenges, the
United States must be a more effective donor. Development progress is best achieved
when priorities are determined and implemented by responsible partners, and aid levels
are sustained, predictable, and coordinated with other donors. We must continue to strive
for our assistance to be demand-driven, giving our people in the field the means to
leverage opportunities and enhancing our ability to partner with responsible governments.
This is an ambitious agenda, but Secretary Clinton and I are looking forward to the
challenges. With the right resources and your good counsel, we are confident that we can
rise to meet the moment. We look forward to consulting closely with the Congress and
other stakeholders as we continue to move ahead in the coming weeks and months. And
I look forward to our discussion today. Thank you again for having me here today, and
thank you for your time.

*1/0ers*
Heads up -- A friend just sent this to me. Does anyone have any intel? This is a huge step and kudos to Sec. Clinton for
expending the political capital to be the first federal agency to do this!
FYI. Berman just spoke about it.
Enact two items sought by the Foreign Service: elimination of a rule that inadvertently reduces the pay of officers
serving overseas by as much as 20 percent, and extension to same-sex partners of the benefits given to spouses and
their families, such as access to U.S. health care and moving expenses. This last provision is likely to provoke GOP
objections.
I don't have the source my friend used, but hopefully some of you might. If this is true (which I hope it is), we have to
start gearing up for the battle to support her now!
Yours in the struggle for equality,

ROME (AP) Italy's foreign minister has canceled a planned trip to Iran for talks on regional security issues.
The Foreign Ministry in a statement Wednesday cited a problem over the meeting place with President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It said it regretted the "lost opportunity" to discuss involving Iran in the stabilization
of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Foreign Minister Franco Frattini had been scheduled to depart later Wednesday.
The communiqu made no mention of reported criticism over the planned trip, nor did it mention a missile test
conducted Wednesday by Iran with a range capable of reaching Israel and U.S. Mideast bases.

Ops - Following Secretary Clinton's call on Saturday, May 16, Philippine Foreign Secretary Alberto Romulo had the
Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) issue the following statement on Sunday, May 17. The statement is on the
Philippine DFA website. Much appreciated if you would inform S staff and other appropriate folk:
Philippine Statement:
The Philippine Government is deeply troubled and outraged over the filing of trumped up charges against Daw Aung San
Suu Kyi and her transfer to Insein prison, particularly when concerns have been raised regarding her health condition.
These recent incidents will surely impede the process of national reconciliation and the Roadmap to Democracy in
Myanmar.
We urge the government of Myanmar to resolve the matter speedily, and to release Aung San Suu Kyi immediately and
unconditionally.
Regards

sure -- bottom line - you need a special security code to get on line from a computer outside the building. Only 1 in 5 of
our employees has gotten the device (fob) that allows you to do this access.
This effort is making sure they get fobs into the hands of more (or all) employees so folks can work from home thereby
increasing productivity substantially since the 4 in 5 essentially do no work from home once they leave the building until
they get in again b/c they don't have access to their email.

Cheryl/Jake:
We're going to forward with the doubling of mobile access to email and productivity tools. It's INSANE that fewer than 1
in 5 state Department are able to access their email or documents when they're away from their desk.
It has contributed to the 9:00-5:00 culture here and exacerbates the disconnection between D.C. and the missions. This
is a good short-term win and by my estimates will produce new fewer than 624,000 more hours of productivity by end
of year one which I think is extremely conservative - it assumes just 1.5 additional hour online per employee per week.
Given that those being given the tools are principally foreign service officers and people more senior than the mean
average DoS employee, I think this is very reasonable. Will put an evaluative instrument into this to see if I'm correct.
More detail on all this below if you want it.
I should point out that Pat Kennedy and the CO have been great. This has been one of several instances where they
listened, they got it, and they're moving forward. The CIO said she'd thought of it before, just didn't know if she could
handle the politics. I'm not going to spend a ton of time on our "corporate IT" but in obvious cases like this I'll keep
jumping in.
Last thing --- this idea got a lot of attention on The Sounding Board. I propose that HRC respond to the staff (maybe in a
quick 60 second video that we post there) saying in effect - Thank you for sharing your thinking. I heard you. Because of
you we're doing this.
Re-enforce that HRC is still listening to the staff.

Thanks for all your help and guidance on getting HRC to our Commencement.
Clearly she was a hit!
Her presence and her message added luster to the event.
Greg reported record attendance for an NYU Commencement and largest seated graduation in NYC history: over 27,000.
Sorry I missed seeing you but I understand many did...
I hope the Secretary was pleased.
All the best,

Response:
James Kunder, Senior Fellow at the German Marshall Fund and
former Acting Deputy Administrator, U.S. Agency for International
Development
The United States is the largest national donor of foreign aid in the
world. It is engaged in two major wars, each of which require
improving local economic conditions to achieve success. And it
faces a variety of challenges around the worldfrom responding to
natural disasters to promoting democratic governancethat demand
effective responses.
Despite these circumstances, the United States does not have a
comprehensive, coherent strategy to guide its development assistance
programs. With the advent of a new administration, the time is ripe
to have a serious policy discussion about the merits of a National
Strategy for Global Development.
The Sustainable Security Program at the Center for American
Progress has written a National Strategy for Global Development,
which it hopes will spark debate. The authors of the document, Dr.
Reuben E. Brigety, II and Sabina Dewan, will discuss their proposal
for an NSGD at this event. They will be joined by Mr. James
Kunder, senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund and former
acting deputy administrator of the U.S. Agency for International
Development.

Thanks for the opportunity to suggest a line or two 1. As a Yankees fan (though not as expert as Kris), and an eyewitness to the "cap" fiasco, I share everyone's
sensitivity to sports references. But I'm not dead set against trying to leverage that sensitivity in a selfdeprecating, appropriately funny way. A couple thoughts along those lines:
a.
"As you can see, I resisted the urge to wear my Yankees cap."
b. (if the stage is set up near, for example, second base; substitute whatever part of the field she's near) "This
is about as close as I'm going to get to playing second base for the Yankees"
c. "I kind of feel at home here in Yankee Stadium, because ever since January, I've been playing on a team
with a bunch of guys wearing pinstripes."
(on the other hand, I'm a little concerned about suggesting that the 1923 team "looked the same, talked the
same, and came from the same cities and towns" - seems to be a little dismissive of a team that included such
outsized personalities as Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
Also, saying "Today's Yankees play with the strength of a global team" could provoke an unintended laugh
because they are playing so poorly this year, so far. Maybe safer to broaden it to all of baseball - like "Major
League Baseball is comprised of truly global teams."
And the "I don't care whether you bring us home a World Series" seems like stretching too far for a sports
metaphor, but in a way that doesn't really make sense in context. maybe better as "I have every confidence that
you will. ..You are starting your post-graduate life on a field of dreams, and you have every reason to believe
that your own dreams of a better world can come true." (or something akin to that).
2. I think the speech could benefit from one clear "soundbite" that more succinctly captures the essence of her
remarks. More of a clarion call to service, something like:
"...And I hope some of you will join our ranks. But the State Department cannot go up against the great
challenges of our time alone. And so my message to you today is this: be the special envoys of your ideals,
using the vast communications tools at your disposal to help advance the interests of this nation and every
nation. Be citizen ambassadors in the course of your personal and professional lives, helping to forge
partnerships built on mutual interest in the face of global crises. By creating diplomatic social networks, you

can extend the powers of our and every government to meet the needs of this generation.. .and help lay the
groundwork for the kind of public-private alliances we need to end hunger, defeat disease, combat global
warming and give every child the chance to live up to her or his God-given potential."
(and maybe go from there into a little riff like "Don't sell yourselves short. Many of you showed your capacity
to bring change by helping bring Barack Obama to the presidency." (And then, after the inevitable applause at
that line, follow with this quip, with a smile: "Where were you when I needed you?")
Finally, just a couple small notes:
-- "half of my senior staff used to work here" - the word "here" given that it's in Yankee Stadium might confuse
a little - better perhaps to say "used to work at NYU."
-- "swine flu" - hasn't the government been trying to avoid using that phrase? (I like that sentence overall)
-- nice examples with Colombia and Kilimanjaro - though just wondering, since I'm ignorant of the facts, is it
too much to say that the Facebook project really did more than years of military action?
-- if you happen to like the Obama reference above, then it would supplant the "social networking platforms"
line in the speech - but if you don't like my suggestion, I would still suggest changing the "I am told" as that
sounds a little gratuitous - better to be a little more self-deprecating, like "And there was also a recent
presidential election in which social networks brought legions of young people into the electoral process. ..a few
more into certain campaigns than others, I'm afraid to say..." or something like that.
-- also, if you don't use the suggested Obama reference, I do think his name should be used somewhere in the
speech.
-- "suited up" doesn't sound like HRC to my ear.
love the examples of things people can do online to make a difference, also like and agree with idea of being
short and punchy.
thanks again for the chance to suggest a couple thoughts...

CA/OCS and EAP/K held a one-hour conference call today with the families of the detained journalists. During
the call, we briefed the families on the Swedish Ambassador's consular visit with Ms. Ling and Ms. Lee on May
15;
recent progress on efforts to arrange
the release of the two women; an update on the proposed letter from the Secretary;

Media: Although the families have thus far shown restraint from approaching the media to publicize their
story, they are increasingly anxious in response to the DPRK's announcement of a June 4 trial date. They now
feel that a media appeal is necessary and would be helpful to their case, citing the public attention given the
Saberi case. They are considering doing interviews on Larry King Live and/or The O'Reilly Factor.

FYI we're going to get a short video from you that we'll put on our site announcing this. It's also one of the
ideas we can use for how we are reforming the department for the reform committee.

Cheryl/Jake:
We're going to forward with the doubling of mobile access to email and productivity tools. It's INSANE that
fewer than 1 in 5 state Department are able to access their email or documents when they're away from their
desk. It has contributed to the 9:00-5:00 culture here and exacerbates the disconnection between D.C. and the
missions. This is a good short-term win and by my estimates will produce new fewer than 624,000 more hours
of productivity by end of year one which I think is extremely conservative it assumes just 1.5 additional hour
online per employee per week. Given that those being given the tools are principally foreign service officers
and people more senior than the mean average DoS employee, I think this is very reasonable. Will put an
evaluative instrument into this to see if I'm correct. More detail on all this below if you want it.
I should point out that Pat Kennedy and the CIO have been great. This has been one of several instances
where they listened, they got it, and they're moving forward. The CIO said she'd thought of it before, just
didn't know if she could handle the politics. I'm not going to spend a ton of time on our "corporate IT" but in
obvious cases like this I'll keep jumping in.
Last thing --- this idea got a lot of attention on The Sounding Board. I propose that HRC respond to the staff
(maybe in a quick 60 second video that we post there) saying in effect - Thank you for sharing your thinking. I
heard you. Because of you we're doing this.
Re-enforce that HRC is still listening to the staff.

I met with Pat today and we did discuss expansion of the fob program. He is supportive and asked
that we do a decision memo to him. WE need this get decision on funding and longer term strategy
but I don't see this as slowing down an announcement the Secretary might make, we just need to
coordinate timing. Attached is what we are using as the basis for the decision memo. It is more
detail than you need but highlights some of the complexities. If you have any questions please let
me know. Susan

the beginning of a nice review from chicago tribune below... .(and it looks like she added some excellent
personal touches to the final remarks, if I'm not mistaken)....
"Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton held the infield today at the new Yankee Stadium. "Does it get
getter than this?" she asked her audience.
And the former senator from New York may have hit one out of the park, as the commencement speaker at
New York University's graduation, suggesting that everyone who had used their social networks to help elect
Barack Obama president should turn that e-power toward doing good for other people."

Subject: NYTimes - Utah Governor to Become Ambassador to China
"We will launch a new era of partnership between our two nations that will advance our shared dreams of
opportunity and security in America, in Asia and around the world," Mr. Obama said. "I can think of no more
important assignment than creating the kinds of bridges between our two countries that will determine the well
being not just of Americans and Chinese, but also the future of the world."
In a morning announcement at the White House, Mr. Huntsman stood at the president's side in the Diplomatic
Room and accepted the position that he said came as a surprise. As a co-chairman of Senator John McCain's
presidential campaign last year, Mr. Huntsman said he did not expect to be "called into action by the person
who beat us."
Mr. Huntsman, 49, learned to speak Mandarin Chinese from his days as a Mormon missionary in Taiwan. He
has worked in two Bush administrations, serving as the ambassador to Singapore in the final year of George
H.W. Bush's term and as a deputy United States trade ambassador for George W. Bush.
For Mr. Obama, whose advisers already have their eyes set on his re-election in 2012, the selection of Mr.
Huntsman is something of a political coup. He has emerged as one of the nation's most visible Republican
governors and was expected to at least consider seeking his party's presidential nomination to run against Mr.
Obama.
"In the breadth of issues at stake, this ambassadorship is as important as any in the world," Mr. Obama said. "I
believe there is much to be gained from a closer working relationship with China, but improved relationships
will require candor on issues in which we don't always agree."
As the Republican Party forges through a period of reinvention, Mr. Huntsman has been a leading voice for the
direction of the party. He has been a political moderate on issues like immigration, gay rights and the
environment, even though he represented one of the most conservative states in the country.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762241 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762241 Date: 06/30/2015
It was far from certain whether Mr. Huntsman would have actually sought the Republican presidential
nomination his centrist views could have created a challenge in early-voting states but if he is confirmed by
the Senate for the ambassadorship to China, he is part of the Obama team at a time when China is of critical
importance. And he is out of the mix in the 2012 presidential race.
"When the president of the United States asks you to step up and serve in a capacity like this, that to me is the
end of the conversation and the beginning of the obligation to rise to the challenge," said Mr. Huntsman, who
was joined by his wife Mary Kaye, and the couple's seven children, one of whom was adopted from China.
The courtship of Mr. Huntsman was overseen by the White House Chief of Staff, Ralun Emanuel, who met with
him last Saturday when the governor was in town for the White House Correspondent's dinner. Mr. Obama also
spoke to Mr. Huntsman, aides said, and was impressed by his experience and views on China.
"Governor Huntsman has respect for China's proud traditions," Mr. Obama said Saturday. "He understands
what it will take to make America more competitive in the 21st century and will be an unstinting advocate for
America's interests and ideals."
The nomination of Mr. Huntsman is the latest in a series of high-level Republican appointments in the Obama
administration. The president selected two Republicans to serve in his Cabinet, but aides said he was frustrated
when a third choice, Senator Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire, withdrew his nomination as
Commerce Secretary.
Mr. Huntsman, who was elected to his second term of governor last year, intends to step down if he is
confirmed by the Senate.
"I hope the good people of Utah will forgive me and understand how proud they should be of their governor for
his willingness to serve," Mr. Obama said. "He always puts country ahead of himself. That's what Jon has
always done."

sure -- bottom line - you need a special security code to get on line from a computer outside the building. Only 1 in 5 of
our employees has gotten the device (fob) that allows you to do this access.
This effort is making sure they get fobs into the hands of more (or all) employees so folks can work from home thereby
increasing productivity substantially since the 4 in 5 essentially do no work from home once they leave the building until
they get in again b/c they don't have access to their email.

We're going to forward with the doubling of mobile access to email and productivity tools. It's INSANE that fewer than 1
in 5 state Department are able to access their email or documents when they're away from their desk.
It has contributed to the 9:00-5:00 culture here and exacerbates the disconnection between D.C. and the missions. This
is a good short-term win and by my estimates will produce new fewer than 624,000 more hours of productivity by end
of year one which I think is extremely conservative - it assumes just 1.5 additional hour online per employee per week.
Given that those being given the tools are principally foreign service officers and people more senior than the mean
average DoS employee, I think this is very reasonable. Will put an evaluative instrument into this to see if I'm correct.
More detail on all this below if you want it.
I should point out that Pat Kennedy and the CIO have been great. This has been one of several instances where they
listened, they got it, and they're moving forward. The CIO said she'd thought of it before, just didn't know if she could
handle the politics. I'm not going to spend a ton of time on our "corporate IT" but in obvious cases like this I'll keep
jumping in.
Last thing --- this idea got a lot of attention on The Sounding Board. I propose that HRC respond to the staff (maybe in a
quick 60 second video that we post there) saying in effect - Thank you for sharing your thinking. I heard you. Because of
you we're doing this.

FINCA International
Perspective on USAID C,ontracting Mechanisms
May 2008
USAID's indefinite quantity contracts and other large-scale contracting mechanisms were
designed to make the country's bi-lateral assistance more efficient, resulting in more and
better delivery of development aid to the world's poor. As an implementing partner on
several of these awards, FINCA International thinks that the benefits of multiple layers of
contracted assistance rarely materialize. In F1NCA's experience prime contractors (a)
pass very little funding to their implementing partners, (b) greatly increase the cost to the
taxpayer through 'reselling' the industry's technical expertise at high mark ups, and/or (c)
provide unclear instructions to the organization actually implementing the program on the
ground regarding goals or compliance procedures. FINCA's experiences with direct
awards from USAID missions have proven to be much more successful.
With respect to point A, as a specialized organization, FINCA is unable to compete as a
prime for these multi-disciplinary awards. As a result, FINCA (like many other specialized agencies) joins a larger team as a sub-contractor, helping the prime demonstrate to
USAID that they have assembled a team of implementing partners with the skill and expertise to deliver. However, after the prime wins the award, FINCA often finds that the
primes have little interest in utilizing the mechanism to fund sub-contractor activities.
While USAID generally makes multi-million dollar awards, FINCA's sub-awards rarely
exceed $100,000.
There is little transparency within consortia and very little information is readily available
from USAID, so it is difficult for FINCA to state unequivocally how much money prime
contractors receive, how much they spend on their own overhead and profit, and how
much they pass to sub-contractors, but FINCA's experience includes:
Haiti: In 2006, USAID Haiti issued a task order under the AMAP MF IQC to
support Haiti's microfinance, small and medium enterprise sector. DAI won the
award in the amount of $6-8 million. DAI sub-contracted a total of $1.2 million.
FINCA received $85,000.
Uganda: In 2002, FINCA signed a sub-award with Chemonics as part of the
USAID-funded SPEED project to facilitate the transformation of FINCA Uganda.
While the sub-award to FINCA was for $600,000, the procurement process was
so restrictive, that FINCA was only able to receive $325,000. FINCA believes
that the total award to Chemonics was $30 million.
Armenia / Georgia / Mexico / Ecuador: There are certainly more examples, but
over the last six to eight years, Chemonics and DAI received sizable awards to
support micro-enterprise in these markets. Though running the largest or one of
the largest MFIs in each of these countries, FINCA International has received no
sub-award funding through these mechanisms.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761872 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761872 Date: 06/30/2015
As a result of their failure to secure funding through the IQC system, a coalition of practitioners (FINCA among them) raised concerns about the system to USAID. USAID replied that given limited staffing they could not manage contracts with individual microfinance institutions (MFIs) and suggested that the coalition organize itself and find a
leader to bid against the big contractors. In preparing to bid on the Leaders with Associates Award (LWA), the industry followed USAID's advice, selecting AED to serve as the
prime since none of the MFIs had the capacity to manage such a large contract. The
ARIES funding for Afghanistan was channeled through the LWA mechanism. Unfortunately, although FINCA has received significant funding for its program in Afghanistan,
AED's limited industry expertise created another reporting layer between USAID and the
MFIs while providing little technical value to the MFIs or USAID when things got tough
in Afghanistan.
With respect to point B, senior FINCA staff who have been hired away by large consulting firms to provide technical assistance to FINCA and other MFIs at a much higher cost
to the US Government include Phil Broughton (hired by Chemonics but who has returned
to FINCA because of its more productive environment), Mark Rostal (hired by DAI) and
Adam Blanco (also hired by DAI). At best, this practice duplicates the talent required for
a project (FINCA must replace these employees). At worst, as contractors lose or reassign these individuals a lack of continuity constantly hinders forward progress.
In addition, much of the technical assistance provided by contractors despite the quality
of the people they have hired has been overly broad and not valuable to the organization's needs.
With respect to point C, FINCA has on numerous occasions found it difficult to obtain
instructions directly from the local Mission or from AID in Washington, and dialogue
with the prime contractor has in many cases been conspicuously influenced by selfinterest or based on lack of understanding or attention to the goals/outcomes sought by
USAID. We believe that this process is exacerbated by a proclivity to use the grant to
hire as many consultants as possible, resulting in a short term outlook and a diminution of
funds available to achieve the desired outcomes. FINCA believes that direct dialogue
and reporting with AID can ensure a common understanding of goals and an effective
resolution of issues that arise in the course of a project.
When contracting directly with USAID missions, FINCA has found substantially more
success. In 2004, FINCA received an award for $1.2 million from the USAID mission in
Kinshasa to launch a new program in the DR Congo. FINCA earlier had received direct
awards from USAID missions for programs in Kyrgyzstan ($6.2 million) and Azerbaijan
($4 million). These programs are today among FINCA' s most successful affiliates. Together they account for nearly 210,000 clients and a $120 million loan portfolio.
Analysis/Conclusion
The contractors that win the bulk of the awards from USAID have very different success
criteria than organizations such as FINCA. While FINCA measures success in terms of
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761872 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761872 Date: 06/30/2015
the ability to deliver sustainable financial services that have a long-term impact on development, most contractors are project focused, seeking to demonstrate short-term results.
Oversight has often been inconsistent or lacking in understanding of the programs.
FINCA is committed to full compliance with the letter and spirit of regulations. Intervention by prime contractors with no on-the-ground involvement is often ineffective or even
counterproductive.
In FINCA's experience, contractors fail to engage with organizations like FINCA and,
often impede our efforts (as well as do a disservice to taxpayers) by attempting to cure
their lack of expertise by hiring away FINCA's talent to manage the new contracts and
provide technical assistance.
FINCA and many other MFIs have decades of experience working with USAID, managing contracts and producing results. FINCA does not need expensive consultants to help
account for money and write reports. Ultimately, the US Government would be better
served by making direct contracting relationships between organizations such as FINCA
and USAID the rule, rather than the exception.

A year ago today, Barack Obama won the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, leading the late Tim Russert to famously
declare, "We now know who the Democratic nominee will be, and nobody is going to dispute it."
Russert was right, but Hillary Clinton, nevertheless, kept campaigning for several more weeks, fueled by her supporters'
convictions that her proposals were better than Obama's.
After barely 100 days in office, it now appears Obama agrees: Since taking office, he has dropped virtually every position
that distinguished him from Clinton.
Granted, there were not many policy differences between Obama and Clinton during the campaign. But those that existed
were sharply debated and helped Obama define himself as the pragmatic change agent that many voters now believe him
to be.
Take Iraq. Obama never missed an opportunity on the campaign trail to remind Democrats that he was the sole candidate
to oppose the war in 2002, and unlike Clinton he had a hard date for ending the war. Clinton repeatedly questioned
the wisdom and sincerity of Obama's pledge to remove all combat troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office. It
was the biggest difference between the two candidates and one of the top reasons Obama won the nomination.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761287 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761287 Date: 06/30/2015
Yet just weeks after entering office, Obama largely dropped his campaign plan. Rather than withdraw all combat troops on
a set timeline, Obama opted for a conditions-based withdrawal that will leave as many as 50,000 troops in the war zone at
the end of 2011 exactly the sort of drawdown he maligned Clinton for proposing.
Health care is another example. While Obama was outflanking Clinton on the left on Iraq, she made up for it by criticizing
his health care plan as inadequate. Both candidates claimed to support universal health care, but only Clinton's plan
included a government mandate that would force all Americans to have health insurance.
Primary voters will recall Clinton and Obama endlessly debating this, with Clinton accusing Obama of leaving about 15
million people without health care and Obama warning voters that Clinton's plan would require "harsh, stiff penalties on
those who don't purchase it."
Just as with Iraq, Obama is now moving toward Clinton's position. His budget outline proposes a health care plan that
"must put the United States on a clear path to cover all Americans." That strongly suggests a mandate, since any
volunteer system would see some opting out. As Ezra Klein reported in The American Prospect when the administration's
health care plan began to leak out, "Despite the controversy over the individual mandate in the campaign, [Obama's team]
will support it."
Some of the most significant differences between Clinton and Obama focused on governing. One of Obama's first
breakthrough moments was at the YearlyKos convention in August 2007, when Clinton defended her relationships with
lobbyists, saying "a lot of those lobbyists, whether you like it not, represent real Americans." Drawing a sharp contrast,
Obama promised to ban anyone who had recently worked as a lobbyist from serving in his administration.
But that promise was broken even before he took office, when the president-elect chose several lobbyists for high-level
posts, including deputy secretaries at the Defense and Health and Human Services departments. (Ironically, Obama even
nominated a lobbyist to be an assistant secretary of state under Clinton.)
Obama's campaign also made Clinton's partisanship an issue. In a thinly veiled reference to Clinton's poor standing
among Republicans, his stump speech included overt pleas for Republican support. Presenting himself as a post-partisan
leader, he promised to forge a new era of bipartisanship in Washington.
As Obama confessed at his prime-time press conference last week, he's fallen short on that front, too. Since taking office,
the president's agenda has been demonstrably partisan; nearly every bill he has so far signed into law passed Congress
on a party-line vote. If Clinton were sitting in the Oval Office instead of Obama, it's hard to imagine how Washington would
be any more partisan.
Clinton lost the battle for the Democratic nomination, but a year later, it appears her campaign has won the war of ideas
within the Democratic Party.

Yes. There isn't. Ann Manes team brainstormed on ideas for a day long session and celebration but didn't materialize.
We looked into doing something else last week but given the swine flu outbreak, most people were either canceling or
toning down things. Dan Smith said that even the mexican embassy isn't doing what they normally did either.

Yes, everything is being readjusted including the personnel meetings. Angolan FM -- yes, I can set that up. And yes,
invited to the Initiative for Global Development but after running the invitation by senior staff here and having a candid
conversation with Suzy George (Albright is not pushing this event), the recommendation was to decline especially given
how hectic this week is going to be.

BACKGROUND
Every President of the United States since Lyndon B. Johnson has made some effort to include Hispanics in his
Administration. Hispanics have held top level positions in the administrations of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard
M. Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.
Ronald Reagan was the first President to appoint Hispanics to cabinet-level positions. He appointed two and
every President since Reagan has had at least one Hispanic serving in a cabinet-level position in their
administration whether they served two, four, or eight years as President. Bill Clinton was the first to have
three Hispanics in cabinet-level positions at the same time when he exercised his prerogative and elevated the
office of the Administrator of SBA to cabinet level. George W. Bush chose not to continue the designation but
still had two Hispanics in his cabinet throughout his two terms.
All Presidents want to fill positions in their administration with the best qualified persons, and that is the way it
should be. No one should expect to be appointed to any position by the President because of their race, gender
or national origin, even though as presidential candidates they promise to do so. More importantly, given
massive demographic change that the country is experiencing, it is no longer possible to craft or implement
effective policies and programs without the experience and expertise provided by a diverse, truly representative
government.
Still, Presidents try to accomplish something in the course of appointing the best qualified persons to their
administration. Bill Clinton wanted a government that looked like America and in the process named two
Hispanics to head two major departments in his cabinet, elevated a third to cabinet level, brought an
unprecedented number of Hispanics into his administration, and signed Executive Order 13171, which called
for government-wide strategies to address the persistent under-representation of Latinos within the federal

workforce. He was also very much aware of the fact that Hispanics helped him carry 14 of 16 major electoral
vote states in which over 90% of the Hispanic vote was concentrated.
George W. Bush brought a natural sensitivity and affinity to his administration, having served as Governor of
Texas, a state with the second largest Hispanic population in the nation. He too appointed two Hispanics to his
cabinet, chose to extend Executive Order 13171, and, like Clinton, brought a reasonably high number of
Hispanics into his administration. Similarly, George Bush was very much aware of the fact that Hispanics
helped him carry six major electoral vote states in which 90% of the Hispanic vote was concentrated.
Barack Obama assumed the Presidency promising change, which lends itself more to qualitative measurement
than quantitative. Still, during his first 100 days he nominated three Hispanics to major cabinet-level
positions. One nominee withdrew and the other two were subsequently confirmed by the Senate. It remains to
be seen how many Hispanics are ultimately named to high positions in his administration, and whether he will
choose to extend Executive Order 13171. And, like his last two predecessors, he too is very much aware of the
fact that Hispanics helped him carry 14 of 16 major electoral vote states in which 90% of the Hispanic vote is
concentrated, in addition to North Carolina, Virginia, and Indiana.
In order to make a fair comparison as to how Hispanics have fared during the first 100 days of the Clinton,
Bush, and Obama administrations, one should first recognize that the Hispanic community has changed
considerably since 1992. In 1992 the estimated Hispanic population was 22.4 million, 5.1 million were
registered to vote, approximately 4.2 million voted, and 61% voted for Clinton. In 2000 the estimated Hispanic
population was 33.3 million, 7.5 million were registered to vote, approximately 5.9 million voted, and 35%
voted for Bush. In 2008 the estimated Hispanic population was 44 million, 14 million were registered to vote,
approximately 10 million voted, and 67% voted for Obama. So not only has the Hispanic population grown
exponentially since 1992, the Hispanic electorate has grown dramatically, and in 2008 helped carry traditional
states and more importantly proved decisive in carrying non-traditional states.
So from Clinton to Obama the Hispanic population doubled, voter registration nearly tripled, and voter turnout
more than doubled. Obama received more Hispanic votes than the combined total number of votes cast in 1992
and 2000. He received 4.1 million more Hispanics votes than Clinton in 1992 and 4.6 million more Hispanic
votes than Bush in 2000. The November 2008 election created a new political reality a new political reality
that has emboldened the Latino community and Latino leaders to demand the change President Obama
promised and to expect more than we got from both Clinton and Bush. Clinton and Bush did not give Hispanics
something to strive for. They gave us something to surpass. Anything less is not change, but more of the same
or worse.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761078 Date: 06/30/2015
President Obama is to be commended on the appointments of Hispanics he has made to date and for the access
to the process that NHLA has had, but NHLA is very disappointed in the overall results. For the record, the
Transition Team and NHLA leaders worked very closely from the beginning to find and encourage well
qualified Hispanics to apply. Once the President was sworn into office NHLA continued working with the
White House Office of Presidential Personnel to ensure that more Hispanics would be nominated and appointed
and that more prospective candidates would continue to apply. NHLA commends the President for the access
we have had and the transparency with which the process has been conducted, but the results speak for
themselves. These efforts fell well short of the target. Latinos remain one of the most under-represented groups
in government and the most under-represented at the Senior Executive Service level.
We are also mindful of the fact that senior White House appointees and the Office of Presidential Personnel
have been similarly accessible to other Hispanic groups on matters pertaining to personnel as well as policies,
and the President is to be commended for that as well. But regardless of the group with which the
Administration has worked, the results have fallen below target and Latinos remain seriously underrepresented.
As of April 27, has announced 58 Hispanics who have been nominated or appointed to positions in the Obama
administration, including 19 that require Senate confirmation.
The Cabinet. NHLA commends the President for nominating two highly qualified Hispanics to major cabinet
level positions Hilda Solis at Labor and Ken Salazar at Interior. Both departments are extremely important,
given the nature, scope, and purview of their responsibilities.
And while NHLA also commends the President for nominating a third Hispanic, Governor Bill Richardson, to a
major cabinet level position (Commerce), NHLA is extremely disappointed in that another Hispanic was not
nominated from the impressive list of well qualified and experienced Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and Cubans
that NHLA provided when Governor Richardson withdrew, considering that no Puerto Ricans, Dominicans,
Cubans, or Central and South Americans had been nominated for anything at the time.
The White House. NHLA commends the President for appointing four highly qualified Hispanics to senior
staff level positions in the White House Cecilia Munoz, Louis Caldera, Adolfo Carrion, Jr., and Moises Vela,
Jr.
But NHLA is extremely disappointed in that only four Hispanics are among the 49 Presidential appointees
selected to date to fill senior staff positions in the White House and that no Cubans or Dominicans have been
included.

And while NHLA commends the President for appointing five highly qualified Hispanics to the position of
Special Assistant to the President including Alejandro Perez at Legislative Affairs, Michael Camunez at
Presidential Personnel, and Roberto Rodriguez, Carlos Monje, and Tino Cuellar at the Domestic Policy Council,
NHLA is extremely disappointed in that not one Hispanic has been appointed Assistant to the President or
senior advisor, the President's inner circle. NHLA is also disappointed in that not one of the five Special
Assistants is Puerto Rican, Cuban, or Dominican.
The Sub-Cabinet. NHLA also commends the President for nominating 17 highly qualified Hispanics to
Senate-confirmation required sub-cabinet level positions at various departments

positions have been filled to date, none by a Hispanic. There are 75 positions yet to be filled, which provide an
excellent opportunity for qualified Hispanics to be appointed and for the Obama Administration to improve on
its record.
Conclusion. While NHLA commends the President for his commitment to change, there is none to be seen with
regard to personnel. Hispanics are under-represented at the sub-cabinet and senior staff levels, and on the
White House staff Of the countless number of positions filled to date by the Administration, including senior
advisors, Cabinet, sub-cabinet, White House staff, and senior staff in major departments, only 58 have been
filled by Hispanics. This is not change. This is more of the same, below target. More announcements of
Latinos being nominated for Senate confirmation required positions are expected in the coming days, weeks and
months, which will undoubtedly improve what has been accomplished during the President's first 100 days.
NHLA would respectfully suggest to the President that he impress upon his Cabinet Secretaries, senior White
House staff and the Office of White House Personnel, and the Office of Personnel Management that they need
to be more attentive to the serious under-representation of Hispanics in the Obama Administration. NHLA
respectfully urges the President to order an agency-by-agency review of the hiring process being utilized and
request a "Plan for Change and Improvement" from each department as it pertains to appointing more Latinos
for high level positions, and urge him to call for a comprehensive report on Hispanic employment in 90 days.
The 16 departments surveyed in this report have a combined total of 205 vacancies which would be the logical
place to start implementing a "Plan for Change and Improvement" and increasing the number of high-ranking
Hispanics in the Obama Administration including Senior Executive Service level positions.
The all but total lack of Hispanic appointments to councils in the Executive Office of the President, as well as to
Regulatory Agencies and Independent Agencies, is a great source of disappointment to NHLA and leaves very
much room for improvement. NHLA respectfully urges the President to order a thorough review of all
applications submitted to identify qualified Hispanic candidates for possible appointment to boards,
commissions, and agencies, and to request more applications if necessary.
NHLA remains committed to working with the President, the Office of Presidential Personnel, and all
departments to assist in identifying qualified Hispanics to serve in the Obama Administration, but realizes that
the direction and enforcement must come from the President.
Finally, we commend the President for the aggressive steps he has taken to address tough issues of public policy
that, while affecting all Americans, have disproportionately had an adverse affect on the Latino community, i.e.,
mortgage foreclosures, unemployment, education, health (SCHIP), small businesses and immigration
reform. NHLA also looks forward to working with the President and his Administration on specific proposals
that affect all Americans and the Hispanic community particularly, pertaining to education, civil rights,
immigration, economic empowerment, health, and governmental accountability.

known that I was surprised by the extent of it when I began to look into it."
Mohammed, 49, is well known for her courageous human rights work. She co-founded OWFI in Baghdad in June 2003 in
the wake of the U.S. invasion and occupation, and the organization has led campaigns against so-called honor killings,
the abduction of women, and trafficking in women and children. She also co-founded Iraq's first feminist newspaper, Al
Mousawat (Equality), which has been published quarterly for the last three years. Trained as an architect, Mohammed told
Gay City News she has abandoned that profession to work full time for OWFI. She has received numerous awards for her
work for women's rights and human rights, including the Eleanor Roosevelt Global Rights Award given by the US Feminist
Majority Foundation.
Ali Hili, the 33-year-old gay Iraqi exile who coordinates the association Iraqi LGBT, which is headquartered in London but
has members and informants throughout Iraq, told Gay City News that he has also been able to confirm the use of lethal
anal torture. "We have had reports, increasingly over the last four or five days, about the use of this technique not just in
Baghdad but in smaller town and cities all over Iraq," Hili said by telephone. "We have reports on seven young men who
have been through this horrible experience in which they were arrested in the south of Iraq and had their anuses sealed,
or 'locked' as the torturers say. Our sources told us that hospitals all over Iraq's southern region have received so many
cases of similar incidents where men have had their anuses glued, but that what makes the situation even worse and
more lethal is that they have been refused treatment in hospitals when they sought it because of homophobia."
As of this week, Hili and Iraqi LGBT have documented 617 cases of assassinations of LGBT people since a death-to-allgays fatwa was issued by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the spiritual leader of all Shiite muslims in Iraq, in 2005. The
murder campaign of "sexual cleansing" of homosexuals has intensified in recent months, with 70 new killings since
December alone (see this reporter's April 16-29 article, "Iraqi Gay Murders Surge; World Finally Takes Note").
Now, Hili says, "I have just received word of seven new murders of gays in one week, last week." He provided Gay City
News with the names and towns of origin of the most recent victims of the anti-gay-death squads. They are Abbas Mosa,
33, from Al Hay; Saeed Majeed, 27, from Al Samawa; Jabar Khothayer, 19, from Al Dewaniya; Majed Alawi, 41, from Al
Hindiya; Hazim Hussein, age unknown, from Al Najaf; Mohammed Qasim, 25, from Al Dewaniya; and Rama Sabri, 19,
from Al Mohanawiya.
At the same time, the Iraqi news website niqash.org reported last week that "AI-Baghdadiya, a satellite television channel
based in Cairo... broadcast a report on April 7 saying that 20 young men accused of homosexuality were taken to Ibn alNafis hospital in Baghdad with mutilated genitals."
Hili told Gay City News that much of the most recent wave of assassinations appears to be the work of the Mahdi Army,
the militia led by fundamentalist Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. He said that one of Iraqi LGBT's informants "is connected
to high-ranking religious within the Mahdi Army, and he has been told of a campaign to target anyone who is suspected of
being gay." Increasingly, Hili said, leaflets and "Wanted" posters are appearing with lists of men targeted to be killed for
what are called "crimes against morality," meaning homosexuality. A list of Iraqi LGBT members to be eliminated is also
circulating, Hili said, and he's been told his own name is at the top of this list.
Hili also said that pharmacists have been reporting to the police about male customers who were regularly buying female
hormones and cosmetic creams. In one such recent instance, two of these supposed transgendered men were arrested
and taken to an unknown location, and have not been heard from since.

Subject: RE: Support for Italian Restoration of Cultural Monuments
Berlusconi had asked that each donor country "adopt" a damaged cultural heritage monument, but EUR seems to think
that the Italians would welcome the U.S. initiative which might include help in repairing physical damage to the
University itself but would concentrate primarily on development of human capital. One of Ambassador Bagley's
suggestions was that we work with the Italian Ambassador here, who is well connected to the Prime Minister, to ensure
a positive Italian response.

Cheryl,
Ambassador Bagley and Kris joined representatives from EUR and ECA today to review where things stand with
respect to launching a public/private partnership in response to PM Berlusconi's appeal to the President. EUR and ECA
will be sending up today a follow-up action memo to the Secretary asking that she approve in principle a partnership in
conjunction with the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) that would focus largely on raising money for
academic exchanges for students from L'Aquila University, the school of higher education most affected by the
earthquake. This is not exactly the monument rebuilding that PM Berlusconi initially proposed, but it is something very
much in keeping with our mission and of interest to NIAF. Ambassador Bagley and Kris had a number of suggestions that
will help EUR and ECA as we move forward especially in selecting the right people to help with fund raising and making
sure the Italian Government welcomes this initiative. Dan

My take is that the people on the ground both with World Bank and IMF
believe the Tigers need to be completely defeated and any collateral
damage inflicted on private people by SL govt in process is ok... They
also believe Tigers are better at propaganda than SL govt...
I have no idea what reality is... I know all about the conflict because
there's been so much written over time but no idea of reality on ground.

Fw: A Bold New Strategy for Smart Aid
image001..jpg
Matthew Bishop is the New York bureau chief for The Economist magazine and, with Michael Green, he is author of the
2008 book, Philanthrocapitalism: How the Rich Can Save the World <http://www.philanthrocapitalism.neth .
The Clinton Global Initiative's fifth birthday celebration this week
<http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.oreourmeetings/meeting_annual.asp?Section=OurMeetings&PageTitle=CGI%20An
nual%20Meeting> may be a less glitzy affair than in previous years but it marks an amazing comeback. Last year the
Obama administration actually thought about having it shut down as a price of Mrs. Clinton becoming Secretary of State
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/16/AR2008111602039.html> , fearful that Bill's
schmoozing of wealthy philanthropists could compromise his wife's role as America's top diplomat. Now, Obama is going
to be topping the bill, outshining the A-list celebrities, heads of state and corporate titans who pack the hall for the
annual "Philanthropy Oscars."
Yet the most important speech at the event may not be delivered by either the current or the former president but by
Mrs. Clinton herself. She has said the State Department is going to forge new partnerships with philanthropists to
achieve America's foreign policy goals (and has already started work on a new initiative around the Middle East peace
process). Her speech is an opportunity to announce a radical new departure in the way America gives aid.
The aid business in crisis. The past year may have been tough for the world's richest countries, but it has been far harder
for the poorest. Markets for exports have slumped as rich consumers have reined in their spending. Government
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759807 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759807 Date: 06/30/2015
budgets are creaking under the strain of the global recession and foreign aid is threatening to dry up. At the same time,
the intellectual attack on aid has escalated, led by the author of "Dead Aid" <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/article/2009/04/02/AR2009040203285.html > , the African economist, Dambisa Moyo.
The CGI has become the showcase for those who believe Moyo is wrong and that aid can be effective. The CGI is not
about the old government-to-government aid model. Its members aim to deliver smart aid, based on partnerships
between business, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs. Mrs. Clinton's speech is the perfect opportunity to show
that government is ready to work with the CGI crowd to rethink how it does aid.
One promising, for-profit solution to poverty is to take the model of microfinance -- one of the more resilient corners of
banking during the financial crisis -- and extend it to improve education, health care, clean water and sanitation. Loanbased investments can be more sustainable than traditional aid or charity, because they tap the far larger sums available
in the capital markets and are not dependent on the whims of political leaders or budgetary wrangling. Some in
government may be reluctant to give up their near monopoly on aid but it is long overdue.
A second opportunity is to get the public more involved in the aid business. New giving organizations such as Kiva
<http://www.kiva.org/about/how> have demonstrated how the public can play an effective role in allocating money to
needy people <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/06/AR2009070603594.html > .
Government should be doing all it can to encourage his type of mass philanthrocapitalism that levers the generosity of
the American people and taps into the wisdom of crowds. It is time for government aid to be made more democratic by
letting Kiva and others like it distribute some of the tax dollars.
Finally, Mrs. Clinton should seize the opportunity to turn the aid business on its head and pass control from the
bureaucrats to the poor people themselves. Technology such as the Internet and the mobile phone are now widespread
in the developing world, so why not use these tools to give a greater voice in aid spending to the people the money is
intended to help? Much aid has gone to waste because of a lack of feedback from the intended beneficiaries. Imagine
how the best technology entrepreneurs could transform the aid business, in the same way that they have changed the
media, by giving the poor a say in how the aid billions are spent.
The Obama Administration has made all the right noises about making government smarter by working more with the
philanthrocapitalists. At home, the creation of a White House Office of Social Innovation
<http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/President-Obama-to-Request-50-Million-to-Identify-and-ExpandEffective-Innovative-Non-Profits/ > was a welcome first move, yet it is still to be seen whether this will amount to much
more than a new source of grant funding for the nonprofit sector. The big win is in remaking government through
innovative partnerships with the private sector. Mrs Clinton has been mulling over what to do with USAID for nearly a
year. What better opportunity than the CGI to announce a bold new strategy for smart aid?

He was hoping there might be some way to assure her that he has NO intention of getting into politics in any way and

Dear Melanne:
Yunus
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759784 Date: 06/30/2015
"While running the government and doing development works, we find continued obstacles in every step from the
'special quarter', benefited by undemocratic government, who earlier had captured power through undemocratic
means, So, I urge the countrymen to be cautious so that the democratic trend continues," she told the parliament.
The prime minister was speaking at a discussion titled 'democracy and political tolerance' on the occasion of the
International Day of Democracy.
Following an hour long discussion, the House passed a resolution by which Bangladesh will also observe the
International Day of Democracy through holding a discussion in the parliament every year.
Inter-Parliamentary Union decided to observe September 15 of every year as International Day of Democracy in the
context of a resolution adopted by the United Nations in 2007.
The International Day of Democracy was first observed in 2008 but Bangladesh could not observe the day as unelected
caretaker government ruled the country during that time.
Referring to the sugar price, Sheikh Hasina told the House that a big conspiracy is going on regarding sugar price. Price of
sugar is being raised though stock of sugar is available. "We are investigating the matter and action will be taken against
those who are responsible for it,"
said the Leader of the House.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759784 Date: 06/30/2015
On plotting of the conspiracy, Sheikh Hasina said people who wanted to sit in power without election are still hatching
conspiracy against her government.
Pointing out the two years of the past caretaker government, Hasina said, "Various formulas were floated during that
time by those who would lose security money if contest any election."
She also disclosed in parliament that many proposals were given to her
(Hasina) during that time including offering her the status of a prime minister without participating,in elections, which
she rejected.
Without mentioning any name, the prime minister said, those who wanted to capture power by creating new political
parties are still continuing their activities to capture power.
"Those persons who had failed to float a new political party, exploit
people, get huge interest from poor people and remain in disguise of good
men wearing good dresses are still busy hatching a conspiracy against the
government," said Hasina, who was sent to a makeshift jail during the
anti-graft drive of the past caretaker government.
She, however, hailed the caretaker regime for holding a free and fair election, which she claimed as the best election
since 1973.
The AL Chief Hasina told lawmakers that the country has been pushed back economically, socially and culturally by
applying the undemocratic and military rule while only a special quarter became rich but the majority people remained
ignored.

The premier vowed that her government is committed to materialise all its election pledges to fulfil the desire of the
people.
Hasina said her party believes in the definition of democracy given by Abraham Lincoln who said Democracy means--by
the People, of the People, for the People.
"But this democracy has been absent in the country since 1975 when the military ruler grabbed power throwing an
elected government," she said.
AL leaders Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, Suranjit Sengupta, Abdul Latif Siddiqui, Advocate Fazle Rabbi Mia, Abdul Matin
Khasru, Bangladesh Workers' Party President Rashed Khan Menon, among others, took part in the discussion.

Huma, Joe, Jake,
We are likely to have one candidate against Hosni in round 4 of the UNESCO director general race on Monday.
EU Commissioner Ferraro-Waldner has pulled out formally.
Our UNESCO Amb. Killion reports that candidates Baki (Ecuador) and Bukova (Bulgaria) met Sunday night Paris time.
Baki has given Bukova an ultimatum. Either they form a unity ticket with Ivonne Baki on top or Baki leaves the race.
Tonight former Ferrero-Waldner supporters are considering how to vote. Mexican Dep Secretary for 10 issues called
me. They are wondering whether to support Baki in round 4 now that F-W is out.
I noted that we wanted the strongest of the ladies to stay in (Fyi, they both were on our list of the most qualified
candidates.) Too early a pull out could also affect the race.
The Egyptian candidate could lose because of a consolidation of alternative candidates.
I am sorry to report that the Egyptians have used harsh tactics in the halls of UNESCO. A member of the U.S. delegation
has seen a member of the Egyptian-hired "public relations" group walking around with an envelope of cash. They
pushed to have two Amb recalled. Disgust and resentment is running high.
The Egyptians are pushing delegations very hard. FM Aboul-Gheit has stopped in Paris to deal with the UNESCO race
while en route to NY for UNGA.
A/S Feltman writes that Egyptian Ambassador Shoukry has called him twice todaY with a "message from the Foreign
Minister." FM Aboul Gheit is angry and reports President Mubarak is angry.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759763 Date: 06/30/2015
A/S Feltman notes" maybe we've become a convenient excuse." A/S Feltman very helpfully pushed back and helped
defend our ambassador who had been criticized.
Our strategy relies on our Amb being low-key. He is following his instructions. We should be unhappy with the way he is
being attacked personally. Candidates Bukova and Baki are moving ahead on their own lobbying. FYI, Hosni even said
on French TV that the U.S. is neutral reflecting our especially low key approach this past week. Now that Hosni may
lose, the U.S. looks like a convenient one to blame.
Events will continue to develop among the candidates and voting delegations. The Monday 9am Paris time Europeans'
meeting could indicate Bukova's relative support and offer a chance to reveal any Baki-Bukova deal if there is one.
Meanwhile Egyptian pressure is likely to continue at UNESCO on Monday.
Monday's vote is midday EDT.

I haven't seen the latest draft of the speech but the horn of Africa is currently experiencing a serious crisis one of its

although it's mostly just providing emergency food assistance. Best, Matt

The number of people depending on food aid in the region -- currently nearly 20 million -- "may increase as the hunger
season progresses, particularly among marginal farmers and low-income urban dwellers," the FAO said.
"Below-average rains combined with conflict and displacement are aggravating an already serious food insecurity
situation in the region," it said.
An added element is El Nino, a weather phenomenon associated with floods, droughts and other climatic disturbances,
the FAO said.
"The effects of El Nino, which usually brings heavy rains towards the end of the year, could make matters worse, ...
destroying crops both in the field and in stores (and) increasing livestock losses," the statement added.
Continued low purchasing power is also threatening food security in the region, the UN agency said.

Re: Branch Summary
To: CDM
Fr:
Caitlin
Overview:
There are few surprises in this book. The "surprises" that might exist are buried and took a close reading to pick up on
the two main ones are about the terror clause of WJC's crime bill and why he hadn't disclosed information about
Lewinsky (because he hadn't wanted to become a witness against her). There are a lot of things that have been covered
in My Life and other publications. Quite honestly the book was pretty boring and much more focused on Branch than I
had anticipated. While not as "and this day, and the next day" as My Life, it does share many of the same elements that
would engage only a true Clinton fanatic or historian. The fact that there appears to be no index also makes it difficult
for anyone looking for a quick hit to get one. Furthermore, WIC's words are so interlaced with Branch's recollection
through his dictations, that the number of direct WJC quotes was far fewer than I had expected.
HRC was not as much of a player as one might imagine. Her role is largely seen through her interactions with Branch
when he is recording WJC. Her statements were consistent with the past, with the exception of the Gephardt comment,
and didn't grab much attention at all.[1] (Others included HRC's devotion to CVC, thought that there should not be a
special prosecutor and images of her returning from meetings. They were pretty much aligned with her interactions with
Branch.) Surprisingly, or not surprisingly, many of the problems discussed in the book are those, which face the current
AdministrationMiddle East peace, North Korea, China, etc...
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759656 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759656 Date: 06/30/2015
Branch repeatedly injects his feelings on specific subjects and seems to use the book to voice his own opinion of the
Administration and events of the time. He clearly has topics he prefers over others (for example his connection with the
events in Haiti result in a lot of discussion about it), but there are some subjects that are strikingly sparsely discussed
such as Rwanda. Its absence from long discussions was surprising, but it did not appear as thought WJC ever-dodged
questions about the topic, they just weren't addressed. Much like My Life, one theme that repeated itself was WJC's
conflict with and disdain for the media, especially long passages about NYT and Washington Post. There are a few
instances where gives them credit on their reporting, but you would be hard-pressed to find them. Additionally, there
are numerous mentions of WJC's acute allergies and his chronic fatigue, with imagery of him falling asleep in sessions on
more than a couple occasions.
The book has quite a bit on Whitewater, but given the dearth of public documentation there is little that Branch could
write that hadn't been said. One thing I had not recalled was the D'Amato's subpoena of CVC's friends, later quashed,
who slept over while NBC's Rose Law Firm records were in the White House. Branch does portray a helpful distinction in
how WJC looked at Whitewater and other scandals. While WJC attacks Whitewater as a political hunt, Branch does have
him WJC saying that Filegate needed to be separated from Whitewater, because this was a legitimate inquiry. There are
some quips that could catch someone's eye, such as WJC referring to Paula Jones as "a 'new bimbo' he [WJC] didn't
even recognize."
Branch does not dwell on Lewinsky or the impeachment. With the exception of Bruce, Bennett and Kendall, no other
lawyers are mentioned. There is one passage that I am looking into, in which WJC says part of the reason he didn't
mention his relationship with Lewinsky at first was because she was being threatened with jail time if she was found to
be lying under oath and had he told the truth he could become a witness against her. This is a very small passage that
could easily be missed, but one that it is important to note as I don't recall hearing this before. (This is addressed more
fully below.)
There are a few relationships that track through the book more than others. They include WJC's relationship with Gore,
which maps in part because it is not a focal point until the end, and his contentious relationship with Janet Reno. The
one Senator that appears to be most discussed negatively is Moynihan. All three of these issues are discussed in turn
below. WJC is portrayed as an extremely loving and attentive father and HRC is portrayed in a much more human light
than other books/articles covering this time period, with ample mention of her relationship with CVC and images of
affection between her and WJC, both pre- and post-impeachment.
On foreign relations there is a lot of time spent discussing the Middle East, Northern Ireland, the Balkans, China, Russia,
Pakistan/India and in the beginning of the book, Haiti. (Note: Much of what is written about Haiti is about Branch's own
experience there and on the subject.) There is also a fair amount of discussion about North Korea, but nothing that has
not been discussed in the past few weeks. Bin Laden is discussed in what seems to track mention of him in My Life,
which seems to have more detail and background than this book.
In certain cases there is more detail here than in My Life, for example on his trip to Pakistan WJC wrote that the USSS
cancelled one stop because they would be "defenseless" flying in, whereas Brach writes that the streets would be lined

with "assassins." There are candid looks at WIC's take on certain people and the relationship between some, such as
Albright and Berger's dislike of Holbrooke, and a more detailed depiction of Yeltsin's drinking, such as yelling outside of
Blair House for a cab to get pizza.
One thing to note, is that often times WJC seems to be speaking to Branch intentionally without the recorders going, but
Branch writes about those interactions and exchanges nonetheless. Such is the case with HRC's Gephardt comment.

In discussing Wen Ho Lee's release Branch characterizes WJC's lack of knowledge about the strained interpretation of
the anti-terrorist provisions in the crime bill and arbitrary detentions as a "confession." My Life only mentions Lee's
accusation in passing and does not again discuss Lee. Below are two passages from Branch's book the first giving context
and the second about the Terror Clause of the Crime Bill.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759656 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759656 Date: 06/30/2015
0 The year closed on spies and terrorism. The Justice Department, after fierce debate among the security agencies,
indicted nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee on fifty-nine counts of copying classified material to his personal computer. Lee
was being handled like a radioactive espionage defendantno bail, lockdown, solitary confinementeven though the
long dragnet had produced no evidence that he offered secrets to China or anyone else. The president said experts were
telling him the worst spies sometimes stored their treason for a rainy day. This sounded fishy to me. Clinton shrugged.
Nothing would please him more than to establish Lee's innocence. [Branch, 577]
While Lee was indicted, Branch writes that WJC noted that others "were being held in secret, uncharged and
untried...He [WIC] was embarrassed not to have sponsored this measure into law without foreseeing such arbitrary
detentions...Under the terrorist act, any prosecutor should decide within the legal limit...whether to bring charges on the
testimony of a secret informant or otherwise. To his dismay, Clinton had learned of defendants held incommunicado for
more than six months. One extreme detention had last three years. 'I think it's wrong,' he [WJC] said. 'It's not American.
We accept guilty people on the street to enjoy and protect our freedom." [Branch, 629]
Branch writes that part of WJC's motive for not discussing what had happened with Lewinsky was that it could send her
to jail, as she had denied it.
"Also, he pointed out that Starr had been threatening to jail Lewinsky all year over her sworn denial of the affair. If
Clinton had come forward with anything at all about their relationship, he said Starr could have turned him into a
witness against Lewinsky, betraying her discreet silence. Such subtleties, while original, struck me as tendentious. The
president never claimed chivalry as the real motive for his steadfast denial, nor did he dispute the essential truth of
0 There is a passage in which HRC describes an exchange she had with Kissinger at a dinner where he complained that
if the health care bill passed he wouldn't be able to see his own doctor. She continued to say "it was interesting, in fact,
that she had dreamed about Kissinger only a few nights before. His visage turned suddenly effervescent at a banquet,
announcing gladly that his worries were over because the Clinton health care bill was dying. 'Oh, no, Dr. Kissinger,' she
replied coolly. 'Don't be sure that it's dead. We'll keep fighting, and there's always light at the end of the tunnel.' She
said Kissing blanched, speechless at her deft reminder of the Vietnam War...Now at last, in Hillary's dream, it registered
that his strategic designs had spewed carnage and venom for seven needless years...'That's what I dreamed,' Hillary
repeated, lost in thought. 'You know, I always get my revenge in dreams, but never in real life." [Branch, 179]

Writing about a call with HRC from NYS, Branch recalls how W1C's counsel got very "exercised." WJC left the room. "He
was subdued on his return. 'You know, I've had a lot more contact with gay people in my life than Hillary.' He sighed. Her
temperament had a conservative, religious core, formed before homosexual issues were even mentionable. New York
politics was a tough crucible, and she was unsure what heat she could take. On the other hand, personal experience
could speed adaptation." [Branch, 551]
There are several occasions throughout the book that Branch recalls WJC's grievances and frustration with Moynihan.
For example:
0 When Moynihan called for the international arms embargo to be unilaterally lifted so that Bosnia could fight for
themselves, Branch writes, "The president flinched when I mentioned [it]...'That's just a freebie for him,' snapped
Clinton, 'and he knows it." [p.140]
In regard to health care: "Echoing comments by Hillary at dinner, he [WIC] faulted Senator Moynihan for aimless
hearings conducted without a strategy or theme." [p.170]
0 Discussing Independent Counsel: "She [HRC] was especially scornful of the Democrats, and quoted a number of
them. Senator Moynihan, for instance, publicly said the Clintons were nice people and he was sure they had nothing to
hide. 'Why not have an investigation?' he often asked. She said Moynihan skated blithely on the surface, never
produced results in Congress, and could not withstand such scrutiny himself for five minutes, living in an apartment
secured through his chairmanship of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation." [Brach, 182]
0 "Donnybrook" argument in which Moynihan said of a fundraising speech WJC gave citing a regretted hypothetical
about a controversial decision. Moynihan told the press, "He doesn't understand...that he's conceding the principles."
WJC confronted him about lack of context given to the statement to the press and said that Moynihan knew what he
was doing by "feeding the beast of hostile presumption about Clinton's motives." [Branch, 299]
There are several images as HRC as a player on the world stage, both with WJC and on her own. Several examples
follow:

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759656 Date: 06/30/2015
0 Middle East: Discussing peace with King Hussein: "They had retreated for lunch as two couplesthe Clintons, with
the king and his wife, Queen Noorin the family dining room...Their agenda was a delicate race between Hussein's
failing health and his desire to make peace with Israel. The president said he and Hillary pounded away on symptoms of
national estrangement: closed boarders, water disputes, travel barriers, war grievances, contested airspace, sealed
electrical grids, and so on. Hussein gave them a feast of goodwill without commitment on any point." [Branch, 170]
0 South Asia: Regarding her trip to South Asia with CVC in 1995, "Her [HRC's] schedule was far more demanding than
ceremonial, pushing both conflict resolution and civic empowerment for downtrodden women." [Branch, 236] Later
Branch tells of Benazir Bhutto praising CVC and HRC. "By contrast with a superficial American press, which portrayed
Hillary as a demure tourist of no policy significance in exotic Asia, Bhutto said she had touched essential political chords
with whirlwind encouragements for citizenship groups and small-scale economic development." (The note contrasting
Bhutto corresponds to a NYT article which Branch quotes in the footer saying, "she [HRC] played the traditional role of
First Lady as wife and mother...") [Branch, 246]
0 China Speech: Branch outlines how HRC felt the speech needed to be bigger than China and how she depicted the
"harsh reality everywhere" from China to Africa. He then cites WJC commenting on the rave reviews of HRC's speech.
[Branch, 289]
0 Regarding the Russian financial system meltdown, Branch writes "Yeltsin seemed so removed from urgent political
tasks that both Clintons counseled him directly." [Branch, 512-513]
Jesse Jackson
Branch writes about Jesse Jackson calling CVC after the Lewinsky story broke and having continued contact with her
throughout the period. WJC thanks him for his support of CVC. This goes into some detail about WJCs gratitude, but the
fact that Jackson "counseled" CVC has been public knowledge dating back to at least 1999.
0 "But now Jesse had done something he would not forget. When the Lewinsky news broke, he called Chelsea at
Stanford. Jesse was the only nonfamily adult with her cell phone number. How he got it was another story. Jesse said he
knew this was terrible for her. Nothing like it had ever happened in American politics. He did not know everything
involved, but he wanted to remind Chelsea how much her parents loved her. Their family needed to stick together now
above all, and if she needed to counsel, rage, or pray, he was always available." [Branch, 497]

Throughout the book, from his nomination of her, WJC is portrayed as having no opinion to having a negative opinion of
Janet Reno.
0 "He complained about Janet Renomade it clear, in fact, that he felt alienated from his own attorney general. If he
removed her, however, the pending decision on yet another special prosecutor [for 1996 campaign finance] would fall
to Reno's deputy, Jamie Gorelick, who, Clinton feared, may share Reno's wholesale devotion to outside control for any
case in which the president himself may become a target...lf he removed both Reno and Gorelick, to start fresh, it would
touch off a firestorm of protest like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre of the Justice Department officials during the
Watergate scandal. That was not an option." [Branch, 388-389]
Branch writes about WJC talking about Reno and Louis Freeh disregarding a letter from D'Amato and continuing to
allow independent counsel to go after Ciseneros. The same held true for Mike Espy. Branch then outlines a meeting
between WJC and Reno. Reno had made public statements about her "desire to stay on the job. 'I told her I didn't like
that one damn bit,' the president said tersely. 'I didn't hire her to work for the New York Times and Washington Post. I
hired her to work for me." [Branch, 398] He continues to outline that Clinton did give Reno credit for some good
achievements including coordination with U.S. attorneys and that he didn't blame her for the special prosecutor on
Whitewater, but that "he did blame her for abdicating responsibility to supervise the investigations ever since, letting
mandates multiply almost at will. She accepted criteria that were ludicrous and crassly partisan. Reno had failed to
defend the presidency itselfnot Clinton personally, but the institutionand by extension the entire executive
branch...He told me she had no clue what he meant. His advisers considered her more nave than upright, and the
fuzziness of the distinction seemed to save her." [Branch, 399] He cites that Clinton warned her that she should prepare
herself for not staying in the job for the entire second term.
There are parallels that could be drawn between WJC/BHO and Carter/WJC both in terms of Carter's trip to North Korea
and the mission he went on to Haiti. WJC clearly was frustrated by Carter's seeming desire to be on the front lines.
North Korea:
0 "On North Korea, he [WJC] said Jimmy Carter had initiated his own recent trip with a call to Al Gore, and Clinton had
approved the volunteer mission to break through North Korea's extreme isolation...Sure enough, Carter did reach North
Korean dictator Kim II-sung, who proposed to allow inspection of North Korea's nuclear facilities in exchange for relief
from the harsh economic sanctions. The only hitch was that Carter announced the terms on CNN before they became
official, adding gratuitously that he never had agreed with sanctions in the first place. News stories had the White House
seething, but Clinton made light of the spat. He said the deal was since ratified by an exchange of letters, and he did not
believe Carter would criticize official policy 'if the game were still in doubt." [Branch, 1621
Haiti:

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759656 Date: 06/30/2015
0 After pushing to be sent to Haiti and enlisting Colin Powell and Sam Nunn to get WJC to break with Gore (who said
Carter shouldn't be trusted a second time) and Christopher and approve the mission to Haiti to seek a truce with the
junta, Carter is portrayed as acting stubbornly and having 'clientitis' (arguing for acceptance of Haitian generals versus
what was in the United States' best interest). He didn't want to leave and WJC told him he had to. Like after North
Korea, Carter again, Carter went to the press first. "The three negotiators flew back to Washington late Sunday, and
Carter, invited to stay over at the White House, called CNN's Judy Woodruff after midnight to arrange an interview the
next morning before he reported to Clinton on his mission. This conduct, the president said tersely, was not right...The
press was full of retrospective stories about friction between him and his three prominent negotiators... He said the
current newsweeklies lapped up criticism by Carter as an embarrassment to Clinton...Many of his advisers griped that
Jimmy Carter thought he was still president, but Clinton found this criticism too jaundiced. Carter had spoken with
restraint at their joint press conference, he allowed, exhibiting a keen political ear...To Clinton, Carter simply felt that he
had earned the right to speak his mind as an international statesman, even about a mission he had accepted for the
United States government complete with an Air Force jet. This sense of entitlement could make Carter a thorn, but
Clinton thought his value far outweighed the political annoyance. He considered Carter a sterling ex-resident." [Branch,
200-201]
Gore
For the majority of the book, there is little discussion of WJC and Gore's relationship. There are few places where he is
briefly mentioned and a couple of scenes with some levity. The end, however, describes the seemingly brutally candid
conversation between the two about the 2000 election and the impeachment.
0 On page 92 Branch writes, "No, he [Clinton] did not ask Gore to take over a failed foreign policy, as alleged, but to
improve public presentations by his troika of 'bad talkers': shy National Security Adviser Tony Lake, boring Secretary of
State Warren Christopher, and disorganized Defense Secretary Les Aspin." [Branch, 92]
0 In one-passage WJC talks about asking Gore to lead the independent review of Hazel O'Leary and also having Gore
substitute for him at an economic conference in Japan. The latter did not fare well as other nations were offended that
Gore, not WJC attended. Gore insisted that WJC needed to go to Japan to redeem himself and the administration for his
absence. Gore pointed to a few days in January, but WJC "pronounced them vital to Chelsea's schoolwork. Gore blinked.
So what?...Mutual exasperation spiked. 'Al,' Clinton told him, 'I am not going to Japan and leave Chelsea by herself to
take these exams.' Gore erupted. He thought Clinton had lost his bearing. They had a big fight, said the president, and
were still wrangling about dates for Japan." Branch states that this fight wound up being around the time WJC saw
Lewinsky. [Branch, 316-317]

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759656 Date: 06/30/2015
0 On page 396-397 there is a scene, which shows Gore's sense of humor and Gore, WJC, et al working as a team to
secure the Cabinet for the second term.
0 Later there is a passage about an exchange between WJC and HRC about Gore trying to hire a second criminal
lawyer. HRC already knew he was paying the first one $30,000 per month. The conversation is about a leak of an offer
from Jim Neal of TN, the former Watergate prosecutor to defend Gore for free. The exchange is more on ethics of the
offer and its leak to the press than about Gore.
0 On Gore's announcing his campaign. "The president had called twice to congratulate Gore for his kickoff events
once from Geneva, hours later from Paris. Clinton thought the only glitches were technical...But Gore got all the big
things right. His twofold message was perfect: distinguish himself from Clinton's personal flaws, and tell voters exactly
what he would do for them in the White House. The president said it was fine for Gore to call Clinton's affair with
Monica Lewinsky 'inexcusable.' First, it was true. Second, it showed a necessary strength to criticized the boss. Third,
Gore would be badgered to death until he did. 'Al,' Clinton told him, 'if you thought it would help in the campaign, I
would let you flog me at noon right on the doorstep of the Washington Post." [Branch, 553-554] Branch continues that
WJC told Gore to ignore reporting that he was offended or critical of his campaign. "On tape, the president said he
confided his chief strategic worry only to Gore himself and to Gore's pollster, Mark Penn. The vice president must
project his platformwhere he stood, precisely how and where he would lead the countrybecause the Republicans
would try to knock him off substance." [Branch, 554]
0 WJC offered critiques of Gore's campaign throughout, but it was always framed as his fear of Gore not succeeding
him. For example, "Clinton still thought Gore could win. Most people considered him smart, experience, and motivated.
He examined the pitfalls for Gore in a campaign showcasing presidential character over detailed agendas for the
country. Reporters called Gore "stiff," but Clinton discounted this liability. He thought Gore's droll sense of humor would
wear well over time. Gore also was perceived to be too conventional a Democrat, therefore lacking independence,
which called for Gore to emphasize more his own passion and initiatives. Then the president said Gore could have a
brooding quality about him, not worrisome or off-putting in itself, but potentially damaging if his serious nature failed to
give voters a lifted. Clinton isolated the word "sunny." Gore needed more of it." [Branch, 599]
0 He also complimented Gore's knowledge of government workings. "Gore knew Washington. Believe me, said the
president, his administration would have made many more errors in the first two years had it not been for the vice
president." He then goes on to say that WJC suggested Gore find someone who would be a bright spot to run with,
perhaps Durbin or Bradley or Kerrey, although he also goes into great detail about the virtues of Mikulski, even though
she would never get chosen. How much of this was WJC's emphasis versus Branch's focus on his home state senator is
unclear. [Branch, 599, 618-19]
0 WJC criticized Gore for not running on the successes of the administration. "They should be running essentially for a
third term, said the president, but they were afraid the Clinton-Gore record would tarnish them with Clinton's
character." [Branch, 623] Branch gives WJC's critique of Gore in debate that had been heard beforethat Gore lacked
style and a light touch.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759656 Date: 06/30/2015
0 Branch has WJC recalling a conversation between WJC and Gore where "Gore had bared himself in one of their
stressful consultations by insisting that he, Gore, was a good politician, elaborating that he meant good on the policy,
and also good on the politics, but admitted that he did not instinctively blend the two. Gore said he had to think about
it, and Clinton thought this was pretty close to the bone...He had the stuff to be a great president, and this was the
message that Clinton must convey somehow without seeming to brag on his own record." [Branch, 623-624]
0 The big passage about Gore begins on page 641 and extends to 645. Branch notes that WJC was unsure at first
about recording the details. At the outset it says, "For his own part, Gore was not angry, nor did he blame Clinton for his
defeat, but he wanted to acknowledge forthrightly that some people around him did." [Branch, 642] It has WJC
acknowledging that Gore's use of him was properhe was best in the White House. Then he says, "I think you made a
mistake not to use me more in the last ten days," Clinton told Gore, 'but otherwise that was not a big deal. I was much
more upset about your message, now that we're being honest." [Branch, 642] Branch recalls WJC saying Gore fought
bag saying that "Clinton's drag plagued every direction." Clinton then said that Gore was better at governance than
Clinton, and Gore would be better for the nation than Bush, and that he was an "unparalleled" vice president, but that
he had "blind spots." Branch writes that WJC kept saying their confrontation was "surreal."
o
Gore had a "fresh grievance...he wanted Clinton to know that the Buddhist temple fund-raising scandal had been
the worst experience of his life. No one had ever questioned his personal integrity, but corrosive publicity and whispers
had tormented him now for four years. Gore said he had not been disposed to blame Clinton. However, he remembered
telling the president that he found himself the only English-speaking person at one of those Asian fund-raisers. And the
president was in charge of the party apparatus that was supposed to screen all the donations for trouble. So he did
blame Clinton in a way. The president told me he could scarcely believe the ensuing tales of suspicion. Gore must still be
in shock from the election, or unhinged. 'I thought he was in Neverland,' he said." [Branch, 643-644]
o
Branch continues: "The vice president asked Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. He had supported Clinton all through
the impeachment, publicly and privately, while declaring himself disappointed. Yes, said the president. He appreciated
that. However, persisted Gore, Clinton did not confide any personal feelings. He never explained exactly what happened.
There was little to say, Clinton replied, beyond failure and regret. He was humiliated and angry, had made mistake. He
had misled the American people, and he was sorry. Gore closed his point with emphasis. Well, he said, this is the first
time you have apologized to me personally. Clinton did a double take...Gore treated the confession as a watershed.
Their colliding perspectives made both of them angry. Clinton exploded that Gore's reaction was phony. What was so
significant here?...Gore exploded back. He was feeling a stubborn repeat of the defensiveness and delayed honesty that
somehow cost the election. Clinton's character was at the root of it..." [Branch, 644-45]
Other
0 Maggie as Person Recommending Panetta: Unlike in My Life, in Branch's book, it has WJC asking Maggie to compile
confidential suggestions for McLarty's replacement. "Williams was shrewd, discreet, and efficient." [Branch, 161]
HRC and Haiti Invasion: Branch asked WJC what HRC thought about his foreign policy team's suggestion to invade
Haiti. "He said the pell-mell rush to invade was crazy to her. Reacting against the pressure, the lack of options, and his

sense of being trapped, she said he was badly served by his foreign policy staff. He said she observed with some
suspicion that the chief sponsors of the invasionLake, Berger, and Talbottwere the same people who had pushed
the ill-fated appointment of Bobby Ray Inman as defense secretary." [Branch, 189]
0 ITAV: ITAV co-author flap in which Sally Quinn spread rumors that HRC had not written the book. Quinn said that
HRC had denied credit to the book's collaborator, Barbara Feinman, a friend of Quinn. HRC said Feinman had withdrawn
from the project. Branch notes that the White House had draft chapters in HRC's handwriting. (Branch turned this to be
about him and how it affected him as a ghostwriter.) From this HRC said that Quinn and her friends launched a rumor
that HRC and a female veterinarian of Socks' were "discovered...in flagrante on a bedroom floor in the White House."
[Branch, 342-343]
0 Subpoenas of CVC's Friends: Branch tells of how D'Amato, as Chair of the Banking Committee, had subpoenaed all
those who might have been in the White House when HRC's Rose firm records were there. This included "some two
dozen of Chelsea's sleepovers." Senator Sarbanes quashed the subpoenas for the sleepovers. [Branch, 362]
0 Vernon Jordan Extramarital Sex: In the context of Lewinsky, Branch says of Vernon Jordan, "In our glancing
associations, I had picked up from Vernon an attitude toward extramarital sex best described as lighthearted or
recreational." [Branch, 495]
0 Gore/HRC ticket: "By the numbers, and Clinton's gut, a Gore-Hillary ticket would give Democrats their best chance
to defeat Bush for the White House. 'Hands down,' he [WJC] said, 'but I don't think Al would ever do it." [Branch, 540]
WJC suggesting Rubin run for NY Senate seat: The passage comes after WJC talks about supporting HRC if she
decided to run, which raises a question of whether he had preferred Rubin or whether the two events are unconnected.
"When the president had urged him [Rubin] to run for and easily win the New York Senate seat, Rubin recoiled...He .
could not fathom why Hillary wanted to run now..." [Branch, 557]
On trip to South Asia: Branch says that WJC agreed to cancel a stop in Bangladesh, because "of hard intelligence
that Osama bin Laden had lined the route with assassins." [Branch, 594] My Life discusses the cancelled trip but does
not specify it was because of bin Laden or assassins.

Apparently you can't get away from me. We're sharing the FT op-ed page tomorrow. Here's my piece....
Thanks again for Friday. Much favorable comment. Good luck at the UNGA.
President Barack Obama's announcement of a new system for protecting America's allies against Iranian missiles has
ignited charges that he is scaling back the one he inherited from George W. Bush as a concession to the Russians.
In fact, the Obama plan is a big improvement on the Bush one, and it is designed to counter an evolving Iranian threat,
not to mollify Russian anxieties.
Mr Bush's decision to put 10 missile interceptors in Poland and an associated radar in the Czech Republic was based
on a concern that Iran was developing long-range rockets that could hit the US. The Bush system would have been less
effective against shorter-range Iranian missiles, and it would have left much of Europe, notably including America's ally
Turkey, unprotected.
Over the last several years, the Iranians have shifted their efforts from developing a few long-range rockets to
deploying large numbers of shorter-range ones that pose an immediate danger to southeastern Europe and the Middle
East, as well as to US forces stationed there. Unlike Mr Bush's, Mr Obama's plan will quickly field a missile-defence
capability to address an existing threat. It can be upgraded to deal with longer-range Iranian missiles in the future.
The Central Europeans who have reacted to the decision with apprehension or alarm should recognize that the
replacement of a conceptually flawed plan with a more credible one strengthens the bonds of transatlantic defence.
The view from Moscow has been clouded by outright paranoia. Military experts there suspected that the US rockets
in Poland, while advertised as defensive, could be used offensively, even pre-emptively, against Russia. Laying to rest
that far-fetched scenario was not the prime motivation for Mr Obama's decision, nor should it have been. However, by
removing what has been a gratuitous irritant in bilateral relations, the president has improved the prospects for USRussian arms control negotiations now underway in Geneva.
Those talks could produce by December a new treaty reducing numbers of strategic that is, intercontinental
weapons. If ratified by the US Senate (which will not be easy, given the ferocity of the partisan wars in Washington), the
US and Russia will be on track for further reductions in the future. Mr Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev,
who are due to meet in New York this week, have jointly called for the eventual goal of eliminating nuclear weapons.
As they and their successors take steps in that direction, they will have to grapple with a stark paradox of the nuclear
age: mutual deterrence depends on each side being vulnerable to retaliation from the other. If either side has enough
defences to trump the other side's offence, the mutuality of deterrence breaks down and one or both sides will be on
hair-trigger, making war more likely in a crisis.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759768 Date: 06/30/2015
American statesmen pounded this inescapable truth into the heads of their initially sceptical Soviet counterparts 40
years ago. The result was the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty signed by Richard Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev in 1972. By
limiting the defensive capability of both superpowers, the ABM treaty was a necessary companion piece to a series of
treaties setting ceilings on offensive weaponry. Because nuclear weapons were expected to with us forever, the ABM
treaty was meant to last in perpetuity.
While the Soviets were converted to the logic of restricting defence, Ronald Reagan was not. The late US president
championed the development of a space-based comprehensive shield that would make offensive weapons and
therefore mutual deterrence "impotent and obsolete."
Many experts believed Reagan's vision, which they derisively nicknamed Star Wars, was an impossible dream. So did
his successor, George H. W. Bush, who treated the program with benign neglect while negotiating with the Russians in
the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) begun by Mr Reagan.
The second president Bush reversed his father's policy. He greatly weakened the START process, pulled the US out of
the ABM treaty and sought to revive a national missile defence (NMD) system. His decision to build the interceptor and
radar sites in Poland and the Czech Republic was, as one of his aides told me at the time, in large measure about
"pouring concrete for what will eventually be a global NMD."
Key officials of the Obama administration including the president himself, who studied arms control in college
understand the linkage between reduction of offences and regulation of defences. However, they have avoided raising
that issue in the context of last week's decision. That is partly because they want their plan to be judged on its own
merits, vis--vis the Iranian threat. But it is because they have more than enough fights with the Republicans without
further energizing the right wing by trying to reinstate the principles of the ABM treaty.
Yet sooner or later the US administration will have to grasp the nettle of regulating strategic defences. Otherwise,
continued reductions in strategic nuclear offences will be either impossible or, worse, dangerous.

Nalbandian statement: "The Turkish side is informed and we are confident that they realize that we exclude the
conditioning of the normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations on steps toward the settlement of the Karabakh
conflict. Trying to link these two processes could lead to the failure of both. A number of countries, including those of
the Minsk Group Co-Chairs, have the same position. They have said many times that the normalization of relations
between Turkey and Armenia must be without preconditions. With this mutual understanding, we have started and
conducted negotiations and come to agreements that are reflected in the initialed protocols. If the Turkish leadership
has problems with the signing of these documents, they should not try to solve them by distorting the spirit, essence,

and goals of the initialed documents. The signing and implementation of the agreed documents is a process that is full
of difficulties. Nevertheless, Armenia is ready to respect the agreements and move forward. If the current authorities in
Turkey are not ready to accept the fact of the genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire, then they are at least
obliged to show respect toward the survivors of the Armenian genocide and their descendants."
Erdogan quote: "Until the Karabakh issue is solved we cannot open the border. We have told them that already. We
cannot open the border until the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict is overcome. There are frequent meetings of AliyevMedvedev-Sargsian. We are much closer to a Karabakh solution. Without that issue being resolved, it is impossible for
our side to take this step. Armenia must free itself of being led by the diaspora. Armenia doesn't get any benefit from
the diaspora. The diaspora scores points by using Armenia. That's what it does. The diaspora in the U.S. and France
does this."

Heads up. Richard invited George to go on one of his recent AfPak. I endorsed it as did the White House because George
is a first-rate journalist. Obviously Richard strayed shall we say from discussion of our strategy. It ends up being a semiprofile on Richard. I'll alert the WH. I don't see anything here that is problematic for the Secretary, but I don't know that

1.
Secretary Clinton told George Packer that the Administration was coordinating diplomatic and development and
defense efforts much more closely than it had before.
2.
In 1996, Secretary Clinton encouraged her husband to name the first female Secretary of State.
3.
Last year at the transition headquarters at the Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Obama asked Hillary Clinton about
possible candidates for the the position of Secretary of State.
4.
Clinton recommend Holbrooke to Obama.
5.
A few days after Obama offered Clinton the position of Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton called Holbrooke to
offer him the job that is now called Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
6.
In late November, HRC and Holbrooke talked for three hours at Essex House, in New York, about the job.
7.
Early on, Clinton told Holbrooke that he would be the civilian counterpart to General David Petraeus.
8.
Clinton introduced Holbrooke to Petaeus.
9.
Holbrooke initially told Clinton that he would need around 15 staff members in his department.
10.
Holbrooke told HRC last fall that he would prefer the title Special Representative to Special Envoy.
11.
Holbrooke and Clinton often speak several times a day.
12.
On April 23rd at 4 pm, Clinton, Donilon and Holbrooke met the President at the Oval Office.
13.
In the hallway, fifteen minutes before the meeting began, Holbrooke gave Clinton and Donilon a memo written
by his staff member, Vali Nasr.
14.
Clinton read the memo in the hallway.
15.
Clinton gave a copy to the President after they walked into the Oval Office.
16.
Holbrooke has praised Clinton's idea of tapping the Pakistani diaspora. She has urged Pakistani-American
doctors, especially women, to volunteer in the refugee areas.

FYI: We will send today for your review and approval a demarche describing the circumstances in which the U.S. would
walk out of speeches at the UN General Assembly and asking countries to join us in the walkout. Note that we are
differing from past practice when we simply did not have anyone in the U.S. seat during speeches by certain countries.
This year an appropriate-level individual will be behind the U.S. placard for all speeches and will remain unless these
redlines are crossed.
This demarche is going out to EU member state capitals, as well as Oslo, Reykjavik, Ottawa, Canberra, Wellington, Tokyo,
Seoul, Buenos Aires, Bogota, San Jose, and Montevideo. USUN asks that our posts deliver the demarche in advance of an
EU political directors meeting on this issue in New York Monday morning our time.
The background portion,of the cable, which discusses EU internal dynamics on this issue, is classified, but the
unclassified talking points will come to you for your review.

Even as Governor Paterson reportedly has his recommendation on the Aqueduct racino in hand (this reader says
that he actually has two to consider <http://leftatthegate.blogspot.com/2009/09/sunday-morning-notes-andnuts.html#comment-1156672372250588546> ), at least one of the bidders is still taking its case to the local community
around the track. The Queens Chronicle reported last week
<http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=20368289&BRD=2731&PAG=461&dept_id=574908&rfi=6> that SL
Green/Hard Rock made a presentation on Thursday.
"Hard Rock is the right balance," [Pres/CEO Marc] Holliday said. "Its recognized brand and quality entertainment
will attract younger and older players across the stratum. People flying in from JFK will say, 'I hear there's a Hard Rock, I
want to see it."
One of this group's big pitches is that they'll be the first to generate a revenue stream ("shovel-ready, in the
ground, the day after the award.")
And thanks to the reader who alerted us to this article in Crain's
<http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20090913/FREE/309139964> which, more importantly than comprising yet
another virtual press release for Steve Wynn, contains, towards the bottom, a handy pocket guide to the six bidders, the
financial portion of their bids (or at least what is known about them), and the ups and downs of their proposals.
This is a tough call; handicapping without the Form as I said before. I can't say I have a favorite; neither a
particular personal preference, nor a clue as to the most likely winner. But I'll give it a shot and take the Crain's piece
one step further by coming up with a morning line.
<http://1.bp.blogspot.com/yiJ1ri4LCfk/Sq2_nTNU jI/AAAAAAAABHM/UucITWnkilM/s1600h/dont_bother.jpg> Aqueduct Entertainment Group <http://www.aqueductentertainment.comk (3-1): Competitive bid
of $251 million (contingent on 7,650 machines; $301 million with 10,000), a plethora of local connections on the real
estate/construction side, and approval by local unions could compensate for the lack of brand name recognition of
gaming partner The Navegante Group. Presence of Senator Malcolm Smith's longtime confidante Rev. Floyd Flake
doesn't hurt either.
SL Green/Hard Rock (4-1) - Boosted its bid to $275 million, and has the Hard Rock brand name as mentioned
above. Manhattan-based realtor SL Green has been endorsed by several local unions
<http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3601/is_43_54/ai_n27894917/> . But, as mentioned by Crain's, they were
passed over in favor of Delaware North the first time around.
Aqueduct Gaming (6-1), Buffalo-based Delaware North's group, has rallied late with a stepped-up publicity effort
and a major community initiative <http://leftatthegate.blogspot.com/2009/08/back-in-game.html> after appearing
indifferent early on (though it's original $100 million upfront offer remains intact with an additional $200 million to
follow). The addition of Harrah's <http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Aqueduct-Gaming-L1c-1034906.html>
adds an experienced operator and an interesting cross-marketing twist which is probably not allowed under the nowdisappeared MOU. And, like the two bidders above, Aqueduct Gaming has been reported to have reached
accommodations with the unions. So I listed them as the third choice on these merits. However, a part of me wants to
list them as the rank outsider - I'd be pretty damn shocked if the state goes back to the company which dropped out
after failing to raise the money last time. And, as I've mentioned several times, given the reports of an investigation
<http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/05/01/2009-0501_attorney_general_andrew_cuomo_subpoenas_contracts_won_by_clients_offirm_tied_to.html> by Attorney
General Andrew Cuomo into lobbyist Patricia Lynch's dealings with the Assembly Speaker, I don't know if her
involvement here is going to help or hurt.
Steve Wynn (8-1) has offered $300 million, but he was the only bidder of the six contenders to receive a bad
grade from the hotel unions <http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storylD=838256&category=STATE> as

reported by Jim Odato in the Times Union last week. Whatsmore, the scale of his building proposal
<http://www.queenstribune.com/news/1250798405.html> is laughably ridiculous, and it wouldn't be ready until 2011.
He'd be the favorite if the decision is based on the number of newspaper and online articles
<http://leftatthegate.blogspot.com/2009/08/all-wynn-all-of-time.html> each bidder has been featured in. But, quite
simply, he sometimes comes off as a nut
<http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/cindy_adams/wynn_hopes_to_win_racefor_race_hzqJ384wLxUSxFKsUWiSyM > .
Penn National (12-1) might be worth a ducat at long odds. No local connection here makes them a dark horse.
But a $250 million bid (as reported elsewhere <http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/17717/penn-nationallobbies-up/> though not in the Crain's piece) puts them in the ballgame, and the company is an experienced gaming
operator with a solid balance sheet
<http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/aug2009/pi20090814_742719.htm> which would probably do as
competent a job as anyone else.
R. Donahue Peebles/MGM Mirage (20-1) didn't increase its $150 million bid, and doesn't have a lobbyist; good
luck with that. Whatsmore, no local flavor and MGM Mirage has had some well-publicized financial woes (though things
have been looking up of late <http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125212120561188377.html> ). Would be a major
surprise.

Subj: list of 5 update
Hello Melanne,
Well the list of 5 continues to be a Quizomba dance (a bit forward, a bit backward).
On the positive.
The two, Mosala and Pitchen, that had been commanders in Kimia II, have finally been changed. They are
supposedly in route to Kinshasa.
That means none of the 5 are now in active operational command position.
This is positive.
All 5 are supposedly in Kinshasa, but not yet confirmed. 2 are in the central prison in Kinshasa.
On the negative.
None of the 5 have been charged. 2 are arbitrarily detained.
More negative.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759743 Date: 06/30/2015
We received attached requestthis week for support to investigate the cases of the 5 officers. While only about
$70,000, the request is strange and worrying. In 4 of the cases an open file in North or South Kivu military prosecutors
office exists. Only in the case of
should the Military Prosecutor General need to be involved, given the
rank of the suspect.
In all 5 cases the local military prosecutor had opened a legal investigation and had interviewed all the victims.
The cases were stopped by political or financial intervention. Now the request indicates the Military Prosecutor General
needs to fly all over the country to investigate. Not only is the request 18 months late in coming, it makes no sense. In 4
of 5 cases, the military prosecutor in the Province has jurisdiction. They just need to continue their work. With the
suspects all in Kinshasa, it makes their work more difficult.
Is someone trying to make some money? Were they given the impression that the international community is
so interested in this case, but the government is not? Or is there so little trust in the local prosecutors that central
government wants more control? Or do governmental officials know so little about how criminal cases function that
they are inadvertently delaying procedures.
Conclusion. Lobby has been effective to remove from position of active command. Political intervention has not
had desired impact in terms of judicial action.
To be continued.
Have a good weekend.

Re: A Bold New Strategy for Smart Aid
Matthew Bishop is the New York bureau chief for The Economist magazine and, with Michael Green, he is author of the
2008 book, Philanthrocapitalism: How the Rich Can Save the World <http://www.philanthrocapitalism.neth .
The Clinton Global Initiative's fifth birthday celebration this week
<http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.oreourmeetings/meeting_annual.asp?Section=OurMeetings&PageTitle=CGI%20An
nual%20Meeting> may be a less glitzy affair than in previous years but it marks an amazing comeback. Last year the
Obama administration actually thought about having it shut down as a price of Mrs. Clinton becoming Secretary of State
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/16/AR2008111602039.html > , fearful that Bill's
schmoozing of wealthy philanthropists could compromise his wife's role as America's top diplomat. Now, Obama is going
to be topping the bill, outshining the A-list celebrities, heads of state and corporate titans who pack the hall for the
annual "Philanthropy Oscars."
Yet the most important speech at the event may not be delivered by either the current or the former president but by
Mrs. Clinton herself. She has said the State Department is going to forge new partnerships with philanthropists to
achieve America's foreign policy goals (and has already started work on a new initiative around the Middle East peace
process). Her speech is an opportunity to announce a radical new departure in the way America gives aid.
The aid business in crisis. The past year may have been tough for the world's richest countries, but it has been far harder
for the poorest. Markets for exports have slumped as rich conumers have reined in their spending. Government
budgets are creaking under the strain of the global recession and foreign aid is threatening to dry up. At the same time,
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759806 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759806 Date: 06/30/2015
the intellectual attack on aid has escalated, led by the author of "Dead Aid" <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/article/2009/04/02/AR2009040203285.html > , the African economist, Dambisa Moyo.
The CGI has become the showcase for those who believe Moyo is wrong and that aid can be effective. The CGI is not
about the old government-to-government aid model. Its members aim to deliver smart aid, based on partnerships
between business, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs. Mrs. Clinton's speech is the perfect opportunity to show
that government is ready to work with the CGI crowd to rethink how it does aid.
One promising, for-profit solution to poverty is to take the model of microfinance -- one of the more resilient corners of
banking during the financial crisis -- and extend it to improve education, health care, clean water and sanitation. Loanbased investments can be more sustainable than traditional aid or charity, because they tap the far larger sums available
in the capital markets and are not dependent on the whims of political leaders or budgetary wrangling. Some in
government may be reluctant to give up their near monopoly on aid but it is long overdue.
A second opportunity is to get the public more involved in the aid business. New giving organizations such as Kiva
<http://www.kiva.org/about/how> have demonstrated how the public can play an effective role in allocating money to
needy people <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/06/AR2009070603594.html > .
Government should be doing all it can to encourage his type of mass philanthrocapitalism that levers the generosity of
the American people and taps into the wisdom of crowds. It is time for government aid to be made more democratic by
letting Kiva and others like it distribute some of the tax dollars.
Finally, Mrs. Clinton should seize the opportunity to turn the aid business on its head and pass control from the
bureaucrats to the poor people themselves. Technology such as the internet and the mobile phone are now widespread
in the developing world, so why not use these tools to give a greater voice in aid spending to the people the money is
intended to help? Much aid has gone to waste because of a lack of feedback from the intended beneficiaries. Imagine
how the best technology entrepreneurs could transform the aid business, in the same way that they have changed the
media, by giving the poor a say in how the aid billions are spent.
The Obama Administration has made all the right noises about making government smarter by working more with the
philanthrocapitalists. At home, the creation of a White House Office of Social Innovation
<http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/President-Obama-to-Request-50-Million-to-Identify-and-ExpandEffective-Innovative-Non-Profitsh was a welcome first move, yet it is still to be seen whether this will amount to much
more than a new source of grant funding for the nonprofit sector. The big win is in remaking government through
innovative partnerships with the private sector. Mrs Clinton has been mulling over what to do with USAID for nearly a
year. What better opportunity than the CGI to announce a bold new strategy for smart aid?

WASHINGTON (Wall Street Journal) - The White House will shelve Bush administration plans to build a missile-defense

and roil the security debate in Europe. The U.S. will base its decision on a determination that Iran's long-range missile

The old focus on long-range missile defense systems left significant gaps in our ability to defend against shorter-range
threats, exposing our allies and our forces stationed in Europe. Many experts have also expressed concerns about the
testing record and effectiveness of the long-range interceptors that were to be deployed in Poland.
Our new approach is different in a number of ways.
First, we will use well-tested missile defense systems, such as the Standard Missile-3, against the current threats. And
unlike the old fixed, silo-based interceptors, they will be mobile and able to shift as threats evolve.
Second, while previous efforts sought to by-pass NATO in favor of bilateral agreements, the Obama Administration plans
to make coordination with NATO a central element of our approach. By working with our allies to build a workable and
cost-effective missile defense system in Europe, we can better contribute to the protection of our NATO allies and
increase regional stability.
For 60 years, the NATO alliance has been a force for peace, prosperity and security in Europe and around the world
because of its commitment to collective security: an attack on one ally is an attack on all. An attack on London or
Warsaw is an attack on New York or Washington. NATO demonstrated this commitment after the September 11
terrorist attacks, when for the first time, the alliance invoked Article V and NATO sent assets to the United States to help
protect us from additional terrorist attacks.
Unfortunately, the old long-range defense plan created the impression of "two-tiers" of security within the alliance by
focusing only on theoretical threats that could one day affect the mainland United States, while leaving our European
allies vulnerable to very real short- and medium-range missiles.
Our new plan corrects this imbalance. We will continue to monitor and counter longer-term threats, but we will work
with our allies to protect all NATO territory. We will focus on the most imminent threat, while also developing the
capacity to adjust quickly if the threat evolves.
Finally, we will engage with Russia as part of our new approach. Russia is also vulnerable to Iran's short- and mediumrange missiles and we will seek to cooperate to address this common threat. I am pleased that the Russians agreed at
the Moscow Summit to a joint threat assessment of the ballistic missile challenges of the 21st century, including from
Iran. This is a positive first step and I look forward to future progress.
In short, this new missile defense plan is more realistic about the threats we face, more reliable in the tools we will use,
and more inclusive of the allies we are pledged to protect.
While we pursue this new path, we will also redouble our diplomatic efforts to engage Iran and focus its leaders on a
clear choice: whether to join the international community as a responsible member or to continue down a path to
further isolation.
But the security of our allies and our forces cannot wait. That is why we are moving ahead with a new approach for
missile defense.

Nalbandian statement: "The Turkish side is informed and we are confident that they realize that we exclude the
conditioning of the normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations on steps toward the settlement of the Karabakh
conflict. Trying to link these two processes could lead to the failure of both. A number of countries, including those of
the Minsk Group Co-Chairs, have the same position. They have said many times that the normalization of relations
between Turkey and Armenia must be without preconditions. With this mutual understanding, we have started and
conducted negotiations and come to agreements that are reflected in the initialed protocols. If the Turkish leadership
has problems with the signing of these documents, they should not try to solve them by distorting the spirit, essence,

and goals of the initialed documents. The signing and implementation of the agreed documents is a process that is full
of difficulties. Nevertheless, Armenia is ready to respect the agreements and move forward. If the current authorities in
Turkey are not ready to accept the fact of the genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire, then they are at least
obliged to show respect toward the survivors of the Armenian genocide and their descendants."
Erdogan quote: "Until the Karabakh issue is solved we cannot open the border. We have told,them that already. We
cannot open the border until the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict is overcome. There are frequent meetings of AliyevMedvedev-Sargsian. We are much closer to a Karabakh solution. Without that issue being resolved, it is impossible for
our side to take this step. Armenia must free itself of being led by the diaspora. Armenia doesn't get any benefit from
the diaspora. The diaspora scores points by using Armenia. That's what it does. The diaspora in the U.S. and France
does this."

of the strategies we need actually to achieve the objectives and the visions that the President lays out. I hope you saw

AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE: Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has determined "it made no
sense" to press the U.S. for assistance, a senior
Israeli official said.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759019 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759019 Date: 06/30/2015
I really don't get it. On June 14, less than a month after his meeting with President Obama, Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu gave one of the most comprehensive, thoughtful and highly personal speeches supporting the
Israeli-Palestinian peace process of any Israeli prime minister in recent years, perhaps ever.
One would have thought his speech would have been big news in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. Mr. Netanyahu for
the first time clearly stated he would support a two-state solution, albeit with understandable requirements to
guarantee Israel's security, despite leaving a different impression during last month's U.S. visit.
Yet, the reaction of governments and media in the U.S. and Europe was the functional equivalent of a tree falling in the
forest with no one listening. Where it was covered, the writing emphasized the cynical and focused on the half-empty,
rather than the half-full, glass.
So let's take a closer look at what could turn out to be a very significant, game-changing speech. It can be divided,
essentially, into four parts: personal, historic, diplomatic and economic.
The personal aspect of the speech deals with the issue of peace. At one point, Mr. Netanyahu spoke directly to the
Palestinian people: "We want to live with you in peace, as good neighbors. We want our children and your children to
never again experience war: that parents, brothers and sisters will never again know the agony of losing loved ones in
battle; that our children will be able to dream of a better future and realize that dream; and that together we will invest
our energies in plowshares and pruning hooks, not swords and spears."
And then he reminded Palestinians that for him and his family, peace and war are quite personal: "I know the face of
war. 1 have experienced battle. I lost close friends. I lost a brother. I have seen the pain of bereaved families. I do not
want war. No one in Israel wants war."
Mr. Netanyahu also spent time in his speech on history, but not to relitigate the ancient argument over who lived in
Palestine first or for the longest time. Rather, Mr. Netanyahu explained that the "root of the conflict" has been based on
a fundamental misstatement of undeniable historical facts.
Palestinians have been taught that Israel was founded largely by alien foreigners, foisted on the native Palestinians by
Europeans feeling guilty over the Holocaust. That misstatement has been the central rationale for Arab and Palestinian
unwillingness to publicly recognize Israel as a Jewish state.
In fact, he points out, "the attacks against us began in the 1920s," 20 years before the Holocaust. And the undeniable
historical fact is that "the Jewish people and the land of Israel go back over 3,500 years" - when Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, forefathers of all Jews; David and Solomon, ancient Israel's two greatest kings; and Isaiah and Jeremiah, two of

the Jewish religion's greatest spiritual prophets, all lived in what was then Judea and Samaria, which today is called the
West Bank.
"The right of the Jewish people to a state in the land of Israel does not derive from the cascade of catastrophes that
befell our people," the prime minister said. "There are those who say that if the Holocaust had not occurred, the state of
Israel would never have been established. But I say if the state of Israel would have been established earlier, it is the
Holocaust that would not have occurred."
Third, the prime minister addressed the two simple requirements for peace between Israel and the Palestinians:
recognition and security.
As to the first, he put it quite simply: "A fundamental prerequisite for ending the conflict is a public, binding and
unequivocal Palestinian recognition of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people."
As to the security, it is also quite simple: Palestine must be demilitarized, as guaranteed by the international community,
with open skies, no military alliances with hostile powers, and "effective security measures to prevent weapons
smuggling into the territory - real monitoring, and not what occurs in Gaza today."
Once these two issues of recognition and security for Israel have been guaranteed, the rest of the difficult issues seem
to come much easier: no more new settlements, with some wiggle room for the natural growth of current settlements
caused by families growing; equitable treatment and assistance in placing refugees in land and homes outside of Israel
(to preserve the essence of historic Israel as a Jewish state).
And on the always controversial issue of Jerusalem, Mr. Netanyahu was deftly ambiguous: "Jerusalem, the capital of
Israel, must remain undivided, with continued religious freedom for all faiths." That does not seem to exclude
Palestinian de facto control over certain parts of Jerusalem and certainly over their holy places.
Finally, the prime minister expressed a clear and concrete vision of economic prosperity for Palestinians in partnership
with Israel. Indeed, he stated that such economic prosperity can come even before a final peace agreement is reached.
"An economic peace is not a substitute for a political peace but an important element in achieving it. Together we can
undertake projects that overcome the scarcities of our region, like water desalination, or maximize its advantages, like
developing solar energy, and exploiting our geographic location by laying gas and petroleum lines and establishing
transportation links between Asia, Africa and Europe....

"Together we can develop industrial areas that will generate thousands of jobs and develop tourist sites that will attract
millions of visitors eager to walk in the footsteps of history - in Nazareth and in Bethlehem, around the walls of Jericho
and the walls of Jerusalem, on the banks of the Sea of Galilee, and the baptismal site on the banks of the Jordan."
Who cannot be moved by these words? Perhaps Mr. Netanyahu has it right - a new sequencing of the peace process:
First, economic partnership and prosperity between Israelis and Palestinians; and then peace, not the other way around.
It could not have been by accident that Mr. Netanyahu chose to deliver his remarkable speech at the Begin-Sadat Center
at Bar-Ilan University. It was slightly more than 30 years ago, on March 26, 1979, that Prime Minister Menachem Begin,
as the leader of the right-wing Likud or "Consolidation" Party, joined with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and signed a
historic peace agreement between Israel and Egypt.
Now another man of the right, another Likud prime minister some three decades later, seems poised to make the lasting
peace between Israel and Palestinians that has so long eluded his predecessors.
One wonders whether Mr. Netanyahu might also be thinking: If Richard Nixon could go to China because of a base on
the right that trusted him, then I can bring peace and prosperity between Israelis and Palestinians.

Subject: Higher Education Dinner on August 17 - Guest
Jake/Huma/Lona:
I've got to have Lona get invites out today - the list is 18 after speaking with the Secretary on theory we will have yield of
12 - 14.
Before I have Lona invite anyone, I want to phase invites so our highest priorities have chance to response first and need
to know how big is too big to work; I have targeted 12-14 outside guests - given an expectation of 6-8 government folks.
Proposed Outside Dinner Guest List:

Secretary Clinton -- You were phenomenol this morning on Meet the Press. Many NY friends and fans have
been emailing me today with rave reviews, even some of my new Republican pals. I missed you at the UN Eleanor

I will see you there. Thanks for the note to Jessica for her graduation -- she's doing great -- a counselor in training at a

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.

A: This matter has been the subject of litigation - outside groups have sued both USAID and the HHS over the policy and we recently notified the Court that we needed additional time to review the policy. That review is underway; no

Madam Secretary,
You did a really fine job on Meet the Press today. The Russia, Iran, Afghanistan and Asia points were all right on the
mark. And even though it goes beyond my professional scope, the second half was just as good. Enjoy the rest of the
weekend.

Thanks for the update and for all the work you did and led to get us to this point. I hope you'll have time to send me
periodic updates, especially your impressions of the Medvedev-Putin relationship.
I am considering a trip to the Caucusus and Central Asia in the Fall, perhaps attached to the Russia bilat, if we decide
that makes sense.

Moscow preparations are in reasonable shape. Afghan lethal transit agreement is done, and will be signed on Monday.
There's also a broader statement on cooperation on counter-narcotics and reconstruction in Afghanistan. (Bakiyev has
now signed the Manas agreement, which is a further boost on Afghanistan.)
The Presidents will announce the bilateral
commission, and your trip to Russia in the fall to launch the process with Lavrov. All in all a good measured realistic
step in our effort to rebuild relations --
I'll be in Rome just for the first, "foreign policy" portion of the G8. We're working on a Leaders' statement that is likely
to look a lot like last week's G8 Foreign Ministers statement on most issues, with an update on North Korea, and
essentially the same, firm line on Iran.
I leave Rome on July 9 with an interagency delegation for stops in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan,
back in DC on July 14.
Hope you had a good Fourth, and all the best,
Bill
A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Subject: Palau offended by US positions
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.
Jeff

EUR tells me that they have engaged fully with Ambassador Bagley and Kris Balderston on this project, and that
Ambassador Bagley has spoken with the Italian Ambassador and reviewed the proposed approach. She said he thought
that it sounded like a good plan and would be warmly received. They are ready to convene a meeting with the NIAF
President as soon as the Secretary approves the action memo.

I received call today from Bishop Schol and David Young.... The worlwild Conference of Catholic Bishops are in town and
they're seeking an audience... Very late notice I told them BUT they have about a hundred here from all over the globe
and they are our Methodists... I had the Bishop send me the details and I contact number. Attached below. I left it very

Dear Burns,
It was good to talk with you again this morning. I am grateful for your willingness to help the Council of Bishops. The
following are dates and times that are available:
Sunday, May 3, 6:00 PM dinner - This is the opening dinner for the Council in which all of the bishops will be present. It
will be at the American University Katzman Arts Center (right on the Nebraska Circle).
Wednesday, May 6, 6:00 PM dinner - Again all of the bishops will be present. This dinner will be at the Bethesda Hyatt,
7400 Wisconsin Avenue.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758447 Date: 06/30/2015
Another option is on Tuesday, May 6, any time between 2:00 and 4 PM with a group of bishops who are available to
come to the State Department.
Also a group of bishops are available for breakfast or lunch Tuesday through Thursday.
Burns, the United Methodist Bishops from around the world are coming to the Washington area for a weeklong
gathering of bishops. Bishop John is host and arranging their schedule. John can tell you more details ...
it would be wonderful if a time could be found sometime during the week
(Sunday-Friday) for Hillary to meet with the entire group of bishops (around 100 total) or at least the leaders of the
African bishops (perhaps a group of 10 or so).

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758447 Date: 06/30/2015
John notes that the group can be flexible and accomodate Hillary's busy schedule. He suggests that there are a couple
of ideal evening opportunities where all the bishops will be present: this Sunday evening at 6 pm at American
University's Arts Center, or Wednesday at 6 pm at the Hyatt in Bethesda. There also is a Tuesday evening gathering and
reception with just the African bishops -- 7 pm onwards at AP Shaw UMC in SE DC.
If it is not possible for her to go to the bishops, I wonder whether it might be possible for a smaller group (eg, John, the
African bishops and a couple others) to come to the State Department for a meeting in the Secretary's suite or
conference room on the 7th floor. The Secretary obviously has a very busy schedule, but it might well be possible to find
20-30 minutes sometime during the week at the Department. (I haven't yet done so, but I will check the State Dept
website and see what her announced travel schedule is.)
I am happy to help however I can, though it probably is easiest if you coordinate directly. Feel free to copy me at the
above emails if I can be helpful. Here are your cell numbers: Bishop John's is

i like virtually everything in the two-pager, and I do agree with Tom on the notion of elevating the "national interest"
and security elements of this, both because those have become part of her "brand," and also to help flesh it out in a way
that both gives it the widest reach, and also protects it from attack.
some ways to consider doing that might be to just ensure that the overarching description of it "call out" the national
interest/security reasoning at work - something like "America has the opportunity and the responsibility to lead in the
creation of a network of principled partnerships that will serve our national interest, enhance our security and build the
capacity of people and nations to solve global problems and give everyone more power to reach their potential."
(i inserted "network" of principled partnerships because i think it kind of alludes to both the diversity of the kinds of
partnerships as well as to the influence of technology on building them...not a "must have" but just a thought....in the
same vein, i don't know whether there might be an advantage in alluding to a network of "pragmatic and principled
partnerships" or "practical and principled partnerships" just to ensure it's got that pragmatism aspect of it sharply
inserted).

I like the substance and I might consider if there are ways to communicate, or more strongly affirm, some
elements that would be important for audiences to hear, including that this is an approach of leadership, self-interest,
and values. The values I mean are things like security, stability and building opportunity. Those pieces are in here, but
the notion should be clear that we are not ceding leadership, we are leading by building alliances and partnerships. And
we will always stand for what is right and the right to defend ourselves and our allies, but we are fighting as we always
have for shared values. Make sense? Tom

I tried out "principled partnership" on her this morning and she likes it I really think we're almost there. Pse let
me know whether I can distribute this more widely for tomorrow's mtg.

Followup
Here's a partial list of followup from our last trip and the last week:
What can we do to help protect the Christians in Iraq as requested by Ken Joseph whom we saw in Baghdad?
JoDee Winterhof raised questions about how the PRTs and the language DOD uses about them are problematic for
NGOs like care.
Pls ask one of Holbrooke's people if they ever talked to Wolfgang Danspeckgruber at Princeton about building a railroad
in Aghanistan.
Also Dr. Arthur Keys at International Relief + Development wanted to talk w someone from Holbrooke's team about
development in Af.
I asked the Spec IG for Af Recon, Arnold Fields, to alert us to problems as soon as they can. I'm not sure how to formalize
this or even if it's appropriate. Let's discuss.
What are the "Iran Watchers"?

i like virtually everything in the two-pager, and I do agree with Tom on the notion of elevating the "national
interest" and security elements of this, both because those have become part of her "brand," and also to help
flesh it out in a way that both gives it the widest reach, and also protects it from attack.
some ways to consider doing that might be to just ensure that the overarching description of it "call out" the
national interest/security reasoning at work - something like "America has the opportunity and the responsibility
to lead in the creation of a network of principled partnerships that will serve our national interest, enhance our
security and build the capacity of people and nations to solve global problems and give everyone more power to
reach their potential."
(i inserted "network" of principled partnerships because i think it kind of alludes to both the diversity of the
kinds of partnerships as well as to the influence of technology on building them...not a "must have" but just a
thought... .in the same vein, i don't know whether there might be an advantage in alluding to a network of
"pragmatic and principled partnerships" or "practical and principled partnerships" just to ensure it's got that
pragmatism aspect of it sharply inserted).
wrote:
I like the substance and I might consider if there are ways to communicate, or more strongly affirm, some elements that
would be important for audiences to hear, including that this is an approach of leadership, self-interest, and values. The
values I mean are things like security, stability and building opportunity. Those pieces are in here, but the notion should be
clear that we are not ceding leadership, we are leading by building alliances and partnerships. And we will always stand
for what is right and the right to defend ourselves and our allies, but we are fighting as we always have for shared values.
Make sense? Tom

Re: Thanks
Secretary Clinton,
Thank you! Will update you when I hear from her, and if there is anything else I should do, let me know. All
best, Jackie
ps Saw that Foreign Minister Yeo was on your schedule today. Fyi, he is one of my favorite Singaporeans
because of this 2007 speech on China, which he posted to his blog (!):
April 12, 2007
Foreign Minister George Yeo's speech at a dinner organised by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy on 5
February 2007, which he gave off-the-cuff.
Thank you Kishore for your kind words. Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen. I was in India two weeks ago, had
a good trip, spent nine days there. While in Calcutta after calling on the Chief Minister, I had a bit of time to
look around so I attended a mass at Mother Theresa's house. Very interesting gathering; there was a Singapore
nun there, she had been there for over ten years; Sister Maria Tony. I wondered why someone from Singapore
would want to dedicate her life to picking up the dead and the dying in the back alleys of Calcutta and living
that life. There were many nuns there who were in their ninth year. They take their first vow in the fifth year,
renewable every year. In the tenth year they have to decide - final vows for eternity. So if you are not sure,
please, there's a way out; if you are sure, then you're in the room. So the priest gave a very tough sermon and
while he was talking, I could hear the din of traffic noise outside, in the streets of Calcutta. Then suddenly, I
heard the call of the muezzin. Now this is a Hindu city. I told myself, I thought wow, what diversity in this
country, India, and its ability to internalise this diversity and to find it unremarkable that the tiny woman from
Albania should come into their midst, become one of them and then when she was beatified, was celebrated as
an Indian, on the way to canonization.
China and India in that comparison- China is not India. China has a very different sense of itself; its deep
internal construction is very different. Superficially there are similarities, as there is between China and the US
and China and Europe. But if you look into it's deep construction, it is very different. When we talk about
China's future and China in the 21st century, how China will behave in a world community, China's attitudes
towards democracy, towards law, towards social justice. It is important first to look into this deep construction
because that is their nature. Naturally we should not be deterministic, there is nothing inevitable in human
history, but when we understand its nature, it becomes easier to anticipate its moves and you'll be less suprised
by its actions.
A few years ago, the Chinese government embarked on a major project which is its dynastic duty- to write the
history of the Qing dynasty, the Manchus, from 1368 to 1644. Ever since the Han dynasty, roughly
contemporaneous with the Roman Empire, they developed a historiographic tradition of each dynasty writing
the history of the previous period. So Sima Qian of the Later Han wrote of the earlier Han and the entire period
before that; then later on they wrote about the Later Han, Jin wrote up the Three Kingdoms; Ming wrote up the
Yuan: The Yuan, which was Mongol in its origins wrote up the Sung. Sung wrote up the Tang dynasty which
was the Classical Period. The last dynasty, the Qing, collapsed in the Republican Revolution of 1911; this is
now 2007. I think in 2003, they embarked on this project, 'The Official History of the Qing dynasty'. When the
former Vice Premier Li Lanqing was in Singapore recently, I asked him about it. He said "we told the scholars
not to rush this project". I asked him how long it would take to write this history. He said it would take many
years, easily 10 years. I said, "have you collected the material?" He said yes. I asked, "external sources?" He
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762814 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762814 Date: 06/30/2015
said yes, external sources too. All the countries, the Vatican, European countries, the whole lot; all assembled 24 official histories, this would be the 26th. And Li's instruction to them was not to be too quick to draw
conclusions!
Now Mao Tze Tung was a revolutionary, he was a great revolutionary. He overturned everything before but he
knew his history, he read the 24 histories, and not only did he read them, he annotated them. But he wrote with
a terrible, illegible scrawl, so scholars had to decipher those scrawls. Then they wrote commentaries on his
commentaries and now it's all published. It is very difficult for the Chinese to depart from their own history
because it's the same great plains, the same mountains more or less, the same neighbours more or less and they
have seen the same patterns recur. So a long time ago during the Ming dynasty they wrote up the romantic
period of the Three Kingdoms. The first line said: "Below heaven, great movements, great currents, long
disunity leads to unity and long unity leads to disunity." So they accept as a part of their own deep nature that
there are cycles in their civilisation; that they have ups and downs. In recent years, when you visit them, you
could sense them feeling their own re-emergence, it's a bit scary. In the initial years, they were lacking in
confidence, they asked many questions, but now they know that there is an organic vitality. It is like an
adolescent who watches his own development, and conscious of it. I say scary because for those of us who live
on the periphery of that empire, what happens there will radiate its influence on us and eventually, to a greater
or lesser degree envelope us.
How do we see China? I think to begin with, it's important not to try and, from an intellectual viewpoint,
transpose our own experiences on to China, because I believe it will develop according to its own logic,
according to its own DNA. It is growing now, it will continue to grow, it will develop its own contradictions
and one day those contradictions, many years from now, will lead to its own decline. So they say at the
beginning of a dynasty the taxes are light but the treasury is full, and at the end of a dynasty, the taxes are
crushing but the treasury is empty. The important thing to realise about China is that some things are deeply
resistant to change. Take Confucius. Every time they had to overturn a dynasty, they had to overturn Confucius,
because Confucius justified the status quo. So throughout the 19th century, whether it was the Taiping
Revolution, the Communist movement or Sun Yat Sen; they spent their lives debunking Confucius. It reached
its final moment when they criticised Zhou Enlai together with Confucius- no- Lin Biao together with
Confucius. That was the last paroxysm. Today, Hu Jingtao said [in Mandarin He Xie She Hui ], "harmonious
society". Suddenly you hear the resonance of Confucius coming back. And everywhere in the world on the
pattern of Alliance Francaise, the Goethe Institute, the USIA, they establish Confucius Institutes and the
learning of the Confucianist classics are coming back with remarkable force in China, not yet in the state
curriculum but just parents wanting to teach their children the Confucianist ditties. Now why is this important?
From Mao to Deng to Jiang Zemin, at every stage, they re-interpreted Marx. They are comfortable with the
young Marx, the idea of the superstructure on the economic base, the idea that politics is concentrated
economics- that they like. But the class struggle, they downplay. They talk about the Three Represents, the
progressive forces, the progressive elements, they nurture those. Now Hu Jingtao says "harmonious society",
"peaceful re-emergence". This mindset has a certain attitude towards law, has a certain attitude towards religion,
towards democracy and towards foreign policy and I would like, to deal with each in turn.
Joseph Needham many years ago, I think in the 60's, the man who wrote The Science and Civilisation of China,
that great encyclopedic work; he said its not that the Chinese have no legal tradition. In fact, by his estimation,
the Chinese had a greater corpus of legal codification than the West. A greater corpus of legal codification than
the West! Surprise, surprise. But the idea that the Emperor is below the law, that is completely alien to their
thinking. Where did that idea come from? Well in the West, you may trace it back to Hammurabi, you may
trace it back to Moses, to Greece, to Rome. But if you trace the evolution of that DNA, it goes back, way back,
into its early beginnings. The Chinese had a very different evolutionary starting point. It was not in law, it was
in an idea they call '1i' which is proper conduct among human beings. They believe, deep in their instincts, that
law is only a means towards justice, and that when the outcome of law is perverse, then that law must be
overridden, because justice, proper conduct, the proper relationship among human beings must take
precedence. And to suddenly say that all that had happened in the previous dynasties, all that the earlier
histories have summarised, are all wrong and that they should instead adopt something with its origins in
Western Europe, which had as its crowning moment the crowning of Charlemagne by the Pope in the year 800;
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762814 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762814 Date: 06/30/2015
to them, what are you talking about? For the Chinese, laws are more like regulations, means towards a larger
end. Their attitude towards democracy follows a parallel pattern.
Democracy is not an end in itself, democracy is a means and they are quite happy to consider democracy as a
useful means towards government and that at appropriate places and appropriate levels, democracy is good. So
at the village and the township level they have democracy, it is a universal franchise. They approve a slate of
candidates, and they have fierce elections, fierce campaigning, and those who are incompetent or arrogant or
despotic, they get chucked out. But once you reach the level of the cities and the provinces, they say no. No
direct democracy. Why not? Because they do not believe, with their view of the universe, that that is the way to
produce good government. Any more than the Catholic Church believes that the way to elect the Pope is
through universal franchise. That the parishioners should decide who should be the parish priest. The Parish
Council, maybe, that's ok. But the parish priest? Bishops? Universal franchise? That's against God's laws. They
have that kind of instinct embedded in them, it is not Communist, it is just Chinese. And they know that too
much democracy, invariably leads to 'localitis'; of favouritism towards friends, relatives, people who are from
the same villages whom we have a relationship with.
We have the same problem in Singapore, in fact this problem exists throughout East Asia. Till today, apart from
Singapore, among Chinese communities and among many East Asian communities, the idea that ultimate
control of the business should go outside the family is unpersuasive. You talk to Li Ka-shing, you talk to Robert
Kwok, you talk to Lim Soe Liong, you talk to any of them; they will go back to the family. Why? Because they
believe that in the end, what matters at the deepest level, is trust. And the family guarantees you that trust.
This is also the Indian wisdom. So you have the Marwaris controlling the economy of Calcutta, you have the
Parsees, you have Sindhis, of which Kishore is a member, you have the Chettiars. They operate on the basis of
deep trust and at a completely different level from that of contract law. And because they distrust local
affiliations, in two dynasties, Ming and Qing, no senior official could serve within 400 miles of where he was
born. No local official to serve within 400 miles, so in other words, in Singapore, no Singaporean can govern
Singapore. They go beyond that, today there's almost no province in China where the provincial leader is from
that province. Now you consider this, you transpose this onto Europe, it's as if routinely, the President of France
is not French. And if you are a German, you are disqualified as a Chancellor of the Republic. And an Italian
cannot be trusted to serve in Rome. Ancient wisdom! What is remarkable is this is accepted as legitimate. If you
are Cantonese and you have a Northener squatting over you, you do not consider it perverse or an abomination.
This is part of life and in fact, you are more likely to have impartial governor than if a local boy were to be
there, because he is more likely to favour those who are related to him or those who are his friends.
So when you talk democracy to the Chinese, it is against this cultural backdrop. So what applied to the Qing
dynasty, the Ming dynasty, they have taken a step further recently in China. They introduced even more rules,
governing the circumstances under which you are disqualified from serving in the area near where you were
born. You can't stay in a ministry for too long, you can't stay in a department for too long beacuse if you stay
too long, you develop affiliations and those affiliations will result in sidedoors and guanxi and corruption. Of
course, many of these rules will still be breached, and there will be scandals from time to time and they will act
on those scandals. For as long as the central leadership is pristine, the system can be maintained. But one day
they will become corrupt, as in so many previous dynasties, and a downward spiral begins. And it is very
difficult in that situation to reverse it.
So I mentioned at the table that for India, it's not a country that can sustain a revolution, because its deep
structure would not allow for it. I think China is a country which can only be renewed through periodic
revolutions. Kishore asked me when- I said well maybe in 200 years time because these are long cycles and
they expect as a matter of course that the history of the People's Republic would not be written by the People's
Republic. It will be written by the next dynasty. Except that right now they say we shouldn't call it a dynasty,
we are now democrats, we are a republic, there is no Emperor...Well, whatever term you call it, it will be done
much later.
Let me now talk about their attitude towards religion. Being a Roman Catholic I follow quite closely the ups
and downs in their relationship with the Vatican and I find it quite fascinating. The Jesuits, when they went to
China in the Ming dynasty, hoped that they could convert the Emperor, and all of China would become Catholic
and a great mission would have been achieved. They never succeeded. Some of the brightest minds from

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762814 Date: 06/30/2015
Europe went there. Matteo Ricci, he corrected the Chinese calendar, he repaired the clocks in the palace, he saw
the throne, but he never got to meet the Emperor and he died in China. And his tomb, it's in the compound of
the Beijing Party School today. And the church which he founded is still there today. 'Li Matou', that's what he
called himself, he applied for permission to be buried in China and he was given that permission. Then when
the Manchus swept southwards, in 1644, the missionaries thought now they had a chance, "the Manchus will be
a bit more accomodating towards us, we will yet Christianise China". So if you read the despatches of the
missionaries during that period, the Tartar Wars they described it, they were full of hope. But not a chance.
They appealed to the Second Emperor, Kangxi.
"Can we send more missionaries?" "No problem". "Can we have them all report to a papal legate in Beijing"
"No such thing". The Emperor imposed one condition: "you can send as many priests as you want to China but
they must die in China, they cannot leave after that". You see, instinctively, the Chinese, when they see the
Catholic Church, they see someone like themselves, someone whose claim to its members is total. And for
whom that loyalty is a jealous one.
Mind you they do not try to control everything; they just control the big things, dogma, doctrine. After that you
are left on your own and you are financially independent, but on the big issue of who appoints ministers and
provincial secretaries, it's the same as the Pope appointing Bishops and Bishops ordaining Priests and governing
this vast empire, whether we're talking about the Chinese empire or the Catholic empire. They have about the
same number of members in the world which is why their interaction is a complex and difficult one. And over
the appointment of Bishops, both seek ultimate authority. In the end they have got to find a way to resolve it. I
can anticipate the Vatican's argument that "we are not of this realm, we are of the other realm, so please we are
not in conflict". As for the Chinese leaders, their attitude towards religion from the earliest days is to keep
religion at arm's length. Those who govern the empire, they are areligious, they can have private religions, but
in matters of their public conduct, they are Confucianist. In public, you are not a Catholic, you are not a
Muslim, you are not a Buddhist. When the Jesuits went to China, they were very impressed by this - that it was
possible to create a moral order based not on religion but on ethics. So impressed, that they wrote about it, and
influenced people like Voltaire and the other Encyclopedists. It helped inspire the Frence revolution- that you
could get rid of the Church, and still maintain a moral order in society.
I've talked about China and law, China and democracy, China and religion, now let me talk about China and
foreign policy which is perhaps your greatest interest; about which I can only talk about generally because you
are the experts in this field. I think it's very difficult for the Chinese to break from their old mindset that they are
[Zhong Guo], the Middle Kingdom, they are at the center of the Universe, then there are the other 'chopsticks
peoples' who are semi-Sinic. I think they consider Singapore to be semi-Sinic. Then there are those who are
beyond that realm, who are what the Greeks would have called Barbarians. The Mongols, the Manchus, the
Europeans, the Americans, the Indians and so on.
Now all that jargon of course is not in use today. They are very civilised, they will welcome you with great
hospitality - lavish dinners, very courteous words, offering you the best of everything in the house. It reminded
me of the way my mother used to teach us at home, we were a big family and the stranger has got to be treated
well, the visitor has to be treated well, because you are afraid of the visitor. So you always treat visitors better
than your own family members because the visitor is capricious, he can harm you so make sure you fit him in.
Those who are within your authority, you can always maintain order anyway. This is the way, in their minds,
the universe is ordered. So I can understand why the Koreans, the Japanese, the Vietnamese, to some extent, the
Singaporeans, they feel uncomfortable about what they see as a repetition of a pattern they have seen many
times before in the past. Will the Chinese change this principle of foreign policy, I think they have, because,
never in their history have they met, have they existed in close contact with competing centers of power, with
the US, with Europe, India, and you are no longer separated by oceans which cannot be crossed, mountains
which cannot be crossed, now they are connected. So they are making adjustments.
It will be interesting to watch how they handle their Olympics; if the Olympics become an exercise of pure
Chinese nationalism, I think the international reaction against China will be very severe. But I think the Chinese
will be sophisticated. I expect they will organise cheer teams for the Americans, for the Japanese, so that there
is an appearance of courtesy and common humanity. They are very careful to ensure that their words fit
conditions today.
But let me say in their defence that many of these methods they use arise out of fear, not out of a desire to

dominate. If you analyse the old tributary system, those who sent tributes got more than they gave in return. It
became a racket. So the Japanese merchants competed to get tokens from [Ryukyu] in order to be able to do the
China trade because it meant a lot of money. The Chinese are fearful of foreigners. They are fearful of the
Russians to the north, the Muslims to the West, the Indians across the Himalayas, but mostly the Americans
across the Pacific. Their strategy is to keep the temperature low, low profile, hide the shine of your armour, the
shine of your sword, just play the game and concentrate on economic development. Internally will they make
preparations? I have no doubt, because they have a deep fear. Is their intention to dominate, to conquer, the way
the European powers did in the past? I don't think so. I don't think there is a great desire to turn non-Chinese
into Chinese. Maybe Korea, maybe Vietnam, maybe Mongolia, who at various points in time were part of their
greater empire, they might consider worth civilising. But beyond that, Sinicising Indians, Russians? No, I don't
think they will want to do that. So as they now become stronger and more powerful, I believe that while their
old nature will re-assert itself, they will also be reacting to us. If they find the world a threatening place, they
will develop their own responses to those threats.
Quite early in the day, they wanted to neutralise Southeast Asia, Asean. It had never been an area which
threatened them, historically. So they didn't worry about Southeast Asia as a threat. But resources, sea lanes,
they go through Southeast Asia. And they made a dramatic move a few years ago. Zhu Rongji was here for the
ASEAN-China summit. He said, "free trade agreement". At that time when he announced it, the leaders of
ASEAN almost fell off their chairs. We thought of China an economic threat to us. Not as a partner. Took us
almost a year to digest the implications and to say yes, let's negotiate. Step by step. And all the time China was
assuring us that we would benefit more than they would benefit. When the Framework Agreement was signed
by Zhu Rongji in 2002 in Phonm Penh, he made two remarkable statements. He said if after 10 years, the
agreement benefits China more than it benefits Southeast Asia, let us renegotiate it. I can never imagine the
American USTR, or the European Trade Commissioner, talking like that. I mean in a contract, a deal is a deal,
it's settled for eternity. Then he said: "China does not seek for itself an exclusive position in Southeast Asia", so
he acknowledged that we were not just going to date one girl, we intended to be promiscuous from the
beginning. Towards Northeast Asia, I think it is very complicated, because there is so much history and legacy.
Towards Central Asia, towards Russia, they have deep fears. Towards America, it has become a relationship
bound together at so many points, a rupture would become more and more unthinkable. But it is going to be a
very difficult relationship, it will be the most important and most difficult relationship to manage in this
century. If it's badly managed there will be war, if it's properly managed there will be another generation of
peace and hundreds of millions of people in the world would be raised out of the depths of poverty. In this area,
you are the experts, but whenever I see China and watch its moves, I go back to its deep nature because it's not
easy for a country so vast, with such a sense of itself, to depart too much from its deep nature. Thank you.

Former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Carlos Pascual has been reported likely to be nominated to be Obama's
ambassador to Mexico. While some reports have suggested that Pascual, now vice president and director of
foreign policy studies at the Brookings Institution, authored a paper describing Mexico as a failed state; think
tank hands noted that Pascual was not the author of a report produced last year by Brookings on weak and failed
states. (The study that seems to be in question, Index of State Weakness in the Developing World, rates Mexico
in the top quintile of developing countries, the 120th weakest out of 141, e.g. among the strongest, and was Codirected by Susan Rice, now U.S. ambassador to the UN). Pascual alluded to the issue in a conversation with
Brookings staff yesterday. Pascual was the first coordinator for reconstruction and stabilization at the State
Department. (A call to his office was directed to the communications office, which declined to comment on his
status.)

The violence did not seem to curtail Mrs. Clinton's ambitions for her brief visit. In addition to General Odierno, she was
scheduled to meet a retinue of Iraqi leaders, including the president, Jalal Talabani; the prime minister, Nuni Kamal alMaliki; and the foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari.
She is also playing host at a roundtable of Iraqi women, something she has done in previous trips to Iraq. And she is to
hold a town-hall meeting with Iraqi students, as well as members of nongovernmental organizations and provincial
reconstruction teams.
This is a format Mrs. Clinton savored as a presidential candidate, and that, as secretary of state, she has used from South
Korea to Turkey. "I want to listen," she said, "I want to respond to their questions and concerns. I want some feedback
and ideas of about how are we going to make this transition as successful as possible."
When President Obama visited Baghdad earlier this month, dusty skies prevented him from traveling by helicopter from
Baghdad International Airport into the city. He met with Mr. Maliki at a palace near the airport and General Odierno at
the American base, Camp Victory.
The new American ambassador, Christopher R. Hill, beat Mrs. Clinton to Baghdad by one day. He was confirmed by the
Senate on Tuesday after a lengthy process that was held up by Republican senators, who objected to his lack of
experience in the Arab world and his handling of negotiations with North Korea over its nuclear weapons program.
In Iraq, Mr. Hill will spearhead the shift in emphasis by the United States from military to civilian operations. Some Iraq
experts said the American civilian presence here had been lacking momentum since the departure in February of the last
United States ambassador, Ryan C. Crocker.

Subject: For the Secretary of State visit to Haiti
I enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the emerging potential that Haiti presents with the Secretary
of State and former President Clinton last night. I would like to take this opportunity to make a
brief suggestion for Thursday's trip to Haiti:
We discussed the catalytic role the United States could play in leveraging much needed private
investment in large scale job creation, for example through direct involvement of OPIC. In my
report I pointed out that the port in Port-au-Prince is the most expensive port in the Caribbean
and recommended the opening of new private ports. Ports remain a critical bottleneck to a job
creation strategy both in garment manufacturing and agriculture. They also play a pivotal role in
ensuring that some of the complementary imports necessary for the proposed road construction
projects can enter the country both in the required quantities and in a cost-effective and timely
manner. Elsewhere I have argued that spiraling prices in construction booms often mean that
available funds only go half way to the finishing line.
The Haitian authorities have already made inroads in addressing some of these inefficiencies and
stand ready to do more. In fact, Prime Minister Pierre-Louis noted in the letter to investors which
was presented at the meeting with Charles Rangel and garment entrepreneurs on Monday, that
"ISPS certification of port facilities and alleviation of customs procedures" are in progress. The
meetings tomorrow may present an opportunity to emphasize once again how central wellfunctioning, competitive ports are to attract foreign investors as part of the HOPEII window and
to put the right transport infrastructure in place.

Cheryl,
I know the book Dead Aid well. The ideas are not new. They are essentially the same ones that Bill Easterly
has proposed in his two books: The Elusive Quest for Growth and White Man's Burden. The essential
argument is that a top-down, "big-plan" approach to foreign assistance the Jeff Sachs' approach - has not
worked in the past and will not work in the future.
Both Easterly and Moyo argue for a bottom-up approach that supports overall economic growth. They
emphasize expanding access to capital markets and low-cost financing, promoting better governance and
accountability, policy reform to enhance foreign investment, and support for market-driven social
entrepreneurs.
I will give Nora a couple of articles for you to take home and look at. One of them, by Paul Collier, offers a
strong alternative to the USAID approach of funding small holder farmers. The other is by Dambisa Moyo and
will give you an overall flavor of her perspective.

I'm being told -- and still trying to verify -- that as of last week, we've succumbed to the Europeans'
preferred term. That there was interagency discussion of this, and that going forward, we will join the rest of
the world in calling the P5+1 the E3+3.
This is the first I've heard of this, but I will track it down.

The six teenage boys, incarcerated at the District's Oak Hill juvenile detention facility in Laurel file into their
classroom after lunch one late January afternoon. They are surprised to see strangers -- five women and two
men -- sitting in the chairs that the boys typically occupy.
The students find some empty seats and shrug out of their matching brown coats and mismatched scarves. They
are curious about the visitors in a lean-back, fold-your-arms, prove-it kind of way.
"I'm James Forman," begins a 40-something man. "I'm a professor at Georgetown Law School and -- "
"You related to the James Forman?" interrupts 17-year-old Carleto Bailey.
"I'm James Forman Jr."
"That your father? James Forman your dad?" Carleto demands.
"Yes, I "
"Wasn't he some big civil rights guy? NAACP? Or SNCC?"
"SNCC," Forman says, seemingly surprised that Carleto has heard of his father, who was executive secretary of
the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for years in the 1960s before becoming active with the Black
Panthers.

Carleto Bailey is trouble. He is also, as he rightly noted, smart. But he has arrived at Oak Hill Academy with a
few disadvantages: He has been poorly educated in the D.C. public schools, was frequently truant and has had
multiple run-ins with the law. The D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services, which runs Oak Hill,
won't release information on the specific crime that landed Carleto here because he is still a juvenile, but we do
know this is Carleto's second time at the detention center. His academic knowledge is spotty at best. He can tell
you who James Forman is, but not where the comma falls in a letter's greeting. ("Dear, Fidel" he writes in a
mock letter to Castro during English class.) He is a fairly typical Oak Hill "scholar."
And, once upon a time, he would have been written off But today, staff at the fledgling Oak Hill Academy are
determined to view the kids' captive time here as a window of opportunity to fill in some of the gaping holes in
their education. Part of the reform initiative of Vincent Schiraldi, director of Youth Rehabilitation Services, the
school opened its doors only last year and takes a unique approach to teaching delinquent youth.
What would happen, Oak Hill Academy co-founders Forman and David Domenici wondered, if you seduced
these kids with content that was meaningful to them? What would happen if they had lots of good, caring
teachers in small classrooms? What if one assumed the kids could learn -- and behaved as such? In other words,
what would happen if the District's most challenged students got a private school education, albeit on a campus
of a decidedly different nature?
"The bottom line," says Domenici, "is that the kids most at risk need the highest quality programming, but
they've gotten the worst."
It is this conviction that drove Domenici, who is also the school's principal, and Forman to create three public
charter schools for underprivileged and troubled students in the District over the past 11 years. Called the Maya
Angelou schools, the two high schools and middle school attack educational deficiencies from all angles.
Students attend small classes taught by specially trained staff. The high school day stretches from 9 a.m. to 6
p.m., with three meals provided. Some kids, whose home lives prove too chaotic for study, are offered
supervised housing in the neighborhood. And it works. Last year, 93 percent of Maya Angelou graduates were
accepted into two- or four-year colleges, Domenici says. (According to the District's Office of the State
Superintendent of Education, 29 percent of students who enter ninth grade in D.C. public schools and city
charter schools enroll in postsecondary educational programs within 18 months of graduating high school.)
It is a good model. But even though Domenici and Forman were used to teaching court-involved youth -- about
40 percent of Maya Angelou students had spent some time at Oak Hill -- working inside the gates posed a new
set of challenges. Youth Rehabilitation Services has been under a court monitor for 23 years due in part to a
history of abuse and poor conditions. When Schiraldi took over the department in 2005 and began his reform
efforts by implementing a less punitive and more therapeutic detention model at Oak Hill, he saw immediately
that changing the school was essential. "How could I look at my staff at Oak Hill and say we are about
excellence when the kids were sitting in a school that was a total waste of time from 9 to 3 every day?"
Schiraldi says. Kids sat and watched movies all day. Little, if any teaching was going on, Schiraldi says. "It was
a miserable, miserable school."
Schiraldi immediately began lobbying the D.C. Board of Education hard to hire someone new to operate the
school, and as soon as he got the okay, he put out a request for proposals. Domenici and Forman submitted a
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760796 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760796 Date: 06/30/2015
plan that Schiraldi says "blew the other ones out of the water," and in 2007 were awarded a $12 million contract
to run the school for the next three years.
Domenici's and Forman's partnership is a somewhat unlikely one. Domenici is the son of former New Mexico
Republican senator Pete Domenici. He went to Stanford Law School, worked in corporate law for a few years
and then gave it up to teach and work with teen delinquents. Forman is the grandson of Jessica Mitford, who
was the daughter of a British baron and a celebrated civil rights activist and journalist. Forman, who graduated
from Yale Law School, worked as a law clerk for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and as a D.C. public defender.
After seeing how few good schooling options his teenage clients had, he joined forces with Domenici, whom he
met through a mutual friend, to start an independent school for 20 students in 1997. A year later, it became part
of the first Maya Angelou public charter school.
At Oak Hill Academy, principal Domenici fights with an occasionally maddening bureaucracy for basics:
functioning boilers, permission for a college tour for a group of six students, classes uninterrupted by
corrections staff who sometimes will call three-quarters of the students out in the middle of class to take their
meds. Forman is chairman of the Maya Angelou Public Charter School Board of Directors and board member
of its parent group, the See Forever Foundation. He attacks hurdles from the other side, fundraising and
advocating for juvenile justice reform.
"When David came out to run the school here, it was like "Ocean's 12": Go find all the people you can trust
from your previous mission," Forman jokes. That included past colleagues and even a few Maya Angelou
graduates. Samantha Crandal Simpore, who had been at a then-coed Oak Hill herself when she was 15 on an
accessory assault charge, went to a Maya Angelou school and now runs the Oak Hill Academy welcome center.
"I tell them, I was here, too," Simpore says. She tells each new student about how she was 17 years old and
didn't know her multiplication tables, how she rode the bus to school each day hooked up to her Walkman,
hoping no one knew she was listening to a recitation of times tables. "I say: 'You're at an intersection in your
life. You know what's down the street behind you. Nothing you can do about that. But you have a choice about
what's up the road ahead.'"
Many of the 90 Oak Hill students, ranging in age from 14 to 19, come in performing way below grade level, and
nearly half have been diagnosed with learning disabilities. They are at Oak Hill for an average of 10 months,
cycling in and out on a schedule that has nothing to do with a nine-month academic year. Out of necessity, they
are grouped according to the cell blocks they live on to keep opposing gangs separate. Thirteen-year-olds can be
in classes with 18-year-olds. More than half have been committed to Oak Hill for violent felonies. Fights are
common. (Before the month is out, Carleto will get into a fistfight in the hallway that will delay his release
date.)
Through the use of small classes -- typically five to 14 teens work with one teacher, a teaching assistant and a
guard -- the school organizes the curriculum around four-week themes designed to pique students' curiosity and
get them to think critically about the nature of democracy, social justiCe and their role in the world. For
example, during the Relationship theme, students parse the types of relationships ranging from those between
humans and the natural world (ancient river civilizations) to those between individuals and groups (Pharaohs
and their subjects) to those between humans and ideas (liberation theology). At the same time, in English class,
students will be working on the standard five-paragraph essay via the guiding question: "Why do relationships
matter, and how can relationships be both good and bad for people?" With the current unit, Change, the D.C.
public school system's learning standards are woven into the social studies curriculum under loose headings
such as "Changes in the Way Humans Think About the World and Their Place in It," which becomes a way of
introducing the scientific revolution, the Enlightenment and the Magna Carta. It's a philosophy that emphasizes
learning through making cross-discipline connections long popular in affluent, progressive schools but typically
eschewed in schools for underprivileged kids, where rote learning and a return to such basics often rule.

Oak Hill Academy has also created a course called Advocacy, which the Georgetown law students are coteaching, emphasizing this month's theme. Domenici believes learning how the law works in a democracy "is
essential to teaching them to be good citizens."
"We always believed that one of our roles should be to help kids self-advocate or advocate on behalf of a
community," Domenici says. "We think this is a good skill for students individually and also one that our
democracy demands."
But this is an ambitious agenda, and Oak Hill Academy faces significant obstacles. Can you teach teens to think
critically when they're missing the basic underpinnings of education? How do you teach empowerment in a
setting that demands rigid compliance to keep kids from misbehaving?
Although he sometimes grows discouraged, Domenici does his best to buoy his staff members when they learn
that one of their most promising students got into a fight on the unit or "graduated" from the program only to
commit another crime and be sent back. "I talk to staff about the fact that, day to day, our job is to do the
absolute best work you can in the domain that is within your control," he says, reminding them that they don't
control all the pieces of the puzzle. "And if you do that well, you have done the moral and just thing."
His staff members must keep the faith while straddling what are to them two equally potent realities: First,
knowledge is power, and through possessing it, every student is capable of success. And, absent the right
support, failure lurks right around the corner. It sounds like this: "I think Carleto has a good chance of finishing
high school and going on to college," Domenici says. Pause. "Also, he is highly at risk of not doing that."
***
It is a cold day in late January, and Oak Hill is in the midst of the four-week session on change. Dressed in
jeans, a blue shirt and a gray corduroy jacket (the heat's not working), Oak Hill social studies teacher John
Adams paces around the room and then stops to bend over Carleto, who is doodling on a piece of paper at his
desk.
"Pay attention," he says, taking Carleto's pencil. "Carleto, what is today's essential question?"
"What is historical change, and how is it different from other kinds of change?" Carleto says, reading from the
board where Adams has scrawled his topic.
"Yes," Adams says. He ignores a student who is wandering around the room aimlessly, until the student
snatches a hat off a classmate and tosses it toward the hallway. A youth development specialist, which is how
corrections guards are referred to under Schiraldi, appears to be deeply engrossed in a magazine in the back of
the room. But she snatches the hat from mid-air, scowls at the disruptive student and tucks the hat in her pocket.
"Please sit," Adams tells the student.
Not quite sitting, not quite standing, the student perches on the edge of Adams's desk.
Good enough.
Adams continues: "What's the difference between personal change and historical change?"
Silence.
"Anybody?

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760796 Date: 06/30/2015
More silence.
"Ashawntea?"
"Historical change is like a revolution," Ashawntea says.
Adams throws out a list of changes -- getting a raise in salary, moving to a new house, the election of President
Obama -- and Carleto accurately sorts the changes into micro and macro, personal and historical.
"Obama's campaign was all about change," Adams says. "Do you think he is talking historical change?" He
wants the students to think about the president, who has been in office now for two days. What might his first
100 days look like? he asks the students. "What advice would you offer him?"
Carleto looks stumped.
"Just throw out some ideas," Adams prompts. He tells the students that they are going to craft their own letters
to the president, advising him on how to set his agenda for change.
Carleto slaps his pencil down on the desk. "Obama's not reading our letters," he says. He folds his arms across
his chest, skeptical that the president will lay eyes on this letter -- and skeptical, perhaps, that the teachers really
want to hear his ideas.
***
Later, Carleto will acknowledge that he knows quite a bit about the president, as he is reading Barack Obama's
"Dreams From My Father." "It started off as a good book, but it got excellent," he says. He struggles hard to
articulate the book's themes and appeal. "I don't know how to put it," he says finally, "but growing up with -- no
disrespect, but -- a Caucasian mom and an African father, he still made it through."
Sitting in a guard's room off the gym on a February evening, the echoing sound of classmates bouncing
basketballs around the cavernous gym, Carleto goes on to tell his own possibly apocryphal story.
"As a child, he was very fun, happy -- as far as kindergarten through sixth grade. Starting in first grade, he was
on the honor roll and was also making it to school every day," he says, beginning in third person, but quickly
lapsing into first. "In the late stages of middle school; at the end of eighth grade, I started smoking weed, doing
stuff I wasn't supposed to be doing."
He takes full responsibility. "No one peer-pressured me or anything. I was liking what was going on when I was
high," he explains. He, like almost all the teens at Oak Hill, denies being involved in a gang. Still, Carleto says
that his best friend since elementary school was killed in 10th grade in "a neighborhood thing." "Nowadays,
anyone can just ride up on you, and you can be mistaken for someone else and be shot," he says, explaining that
his buddy was shot because of a "miscommunication." "It wasn't intended for us," he says, insisting that he and
his friend, nicknamed "Smoke," were just waiting for the bus. Then he announces, "I don't want to talk about
it."
So he doesn't, though it clearly haunts him: He will doodle "R.I.P. Smoke" on the cover of his blue folder or on
a piece of loose-leaf paper or the comer of the chalkboard.
He's happy to talk about Oak Hill Academy though, where he has a 3.5 grade-point average after six months.
(Domenici says Carleto is in the top 25 percent of students at Oak Hill and tests fairly high on assessments.)
Carleto likes the school even though it is a bit easy for him, being a senior in with freshman. He complains that
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760796 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760796 Date: 06/30/2015
the classes are too short and that the guards are always interrupting them to move on just when the class is
getting warmed up. That really bugs him, but he doesn't say much. He says that he will be leaving Oak Hill in
two months and intends to finish his schooling at Oak Hill's transition center in the District, from which he says
he will graduate this June. When he gets out, there are a couple of things he wants to do right off, he says. First,
he intends to see his girlfriend, then go out to a restaurant and then go to "the Adidas shop in Georgetown,
where my mom will get me some stuff-- and my dad, too."
He says his mom was pretty upset when he got arrested and sent to Oak Hill. "She was. . . I'm going to say she
was kind of like surprised at my actions, what I done," Carleto says. "You know how they say 'Whatever hides
in the dark, comes out?'. . . She was not ashamed of me, but disappointed in me." Meanwhile, she makes the
long, 45-minute trek from the District to Laurel to visit. "Every weekend, both days!" he says.
He is alternately vague and specific when he describes his family life. He has four brothers -- ages 27, 23, 16
and 11 -- and reports that he and his two younger brothers live with his mom. He says his mom works as a
secretary, but he struggles to remember where. "She was working with, what's that program downtown by the
Washington Monument, dealing with Smokey the Bear?. . . I'm trying to think. It's right by the Holocaust
Museum. It's a brick building. She works there."
Later, Carleto's school case worker, Essence Jones, will offer a somewhat different account of Carleto's life.
Although Carleto is in 12th grade, he will not graduate in June as he says. He is still six credits shy, Jones says.
And it will be at least three months -- not two -- before his release.
Carleto's father is not part of his life, Jones says. The teenager had been living with his aunt before coming to
Oak Hill. His mother, who has a rap sheet dating to 1982, has been in and out of jail for years, arrested
repeatedly for a string of felonies and misdemeanors, including possession and distribution of drugs, as well as
prostitution. She has been in prison since 2005, serving three consecutive sentences totaling seven years for
assault with a dangerous weapon, attempted distribution of cocaine and violation of bail.
She is not visiting Carleto on weekends.
***
By the end of February, still in the midst of the unit on change, the Oak Hill teens file into their advocacy class,
jostling each other, edgy. It is unseasonably warm outside, and they do not want to be here. Reluctantly they
take their seats, and Carleto positions himself so that he can see the patch of brown grass and mud in the prison
yard, visible through the door someone has wedged open. Occasionally, a breeze wafts into the room.
Today, the law students decide to tackle the topic of disproportionate minority confinement. If youths of color
are 35 percent of the general population in the United States, but 62 percent of the prison population, this is
disproportionate minority confinement, the law students explain. They refer the teens to a handout each has on
the desk in front of him, an article excerpt from New American Media, "Racism of the Juvenile Justice System
Revealed," to explain that this isn't simply because people of color commit more crimes: "African-American
youths are 4.5 times more likely, and Latinos 2.3 times more likely, than white youths to be detained for
identical offenses. About half of white teenagers arrested on a drug charge go home without being formally
charged and drawn into the system. Only one-quarter of black teens arrested on drug charges catch a similar
break."
Although youth of color are 100 percent of Oak Hill's population of inmates and, indeed, 100 percent of all 721
juvenile delinquents currently committed to Youth Rehabilitation Services care in settings across the city,
disproportionate minority confinement is a hard concept for the teens to grasp. Georgetown student Abby Fee
tries a pie graph, a bar graph, a sketch of disproportionate Xs and Os. Blank stares.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760796 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760796 Date: 06/30/2015
Then it slowly dawns on Ashawntea what they're talking about. "Hey," he says, suddenly sitting forward.
"They're switched around! Basically, there's more of us juveniles in prison than white juveniles -- even though
there's more of them."
"Yes," Fee says. "So the population outside the system looks a lot different from that inside the system."
Ashavvntea sits back in his chair to mull this over.
Fee and the other law students move the teens from the statistics to a speculative discussion about the reasons
behind these figures. They have prepared a role-playing game to coax the teens into thinking about this from
different perspectives. Then, they want the students to practice advocating for change. "So, we're going to have
three roles," Fee says, dividing the teens into pairs. "One group is a 15-year-old; one group is playing a math
teacher; and one group is playing a city council member."
Carleto and his partner learn that they are to play a city council member who is preparing a presentation on
reforming the police department. Carleto doesn't want to be a city council member. He doesn't even want to be
here today. He wraps and unwraps his pencil in the bottom of his T-shirt. He puts his glasses on, then takes
them off.
"How could you maintain better relationships" with police? Fee asks, settling herself into a chair to help Carleto
and his partner work through this.
Carleto throws his pencil down on the table. Won't answer. She asks again. Silence. Finally, he offers a sullen
challenge. "Stop harassing people for no reason?"
"How do you want them to treat people?"
"Equally," he says. He picks up the pencil and tap, tat, taps it on the desk. Fee tries to get him to be more
specific.
"Don't arrest for small problems. Instead, take them home, and tell your family what you're doing," Carleto's
partner says, unconsciously slipping into second person.
"And how do you think they can help crime be stopped or decreased in general?" Fee prods.
A long pause. Could be their minds are whirring busily; could be they're spacing out. Fee, a teacher before
enrolling at Georgetown, takes it in stride. She taps the paper a couple of times and repeats the question.
"Don't have 10 or 15 cars patrolling and then have an area where you barely see a police car," Carleto says.
"Patrol each ward equally?" asks Fee.
Carleto writes that down, then adds: "I see a lot of cruel things they done that ain't right." Fee nods, encourages
him to write it down.
Carleto's partner grabs the pencil and speaks as he writes. "The majority of police shouldn't carry guns. I could
say, 'The majority of police are racist.'"
"But how would you fix that?" Fee. prods.

"A camera on their car to catch them if they're doing it -- but a secret one," Carleto suggests. He sits up
straighter in his chair. "And don't just pull over people because they're black. They can say anything, that's the
reason why I pulled you over, because your headlights are off or whatever." Suddenly, Carleto is on a roll, and
he rattles off a list of improvements.
"Call to order of the city council," says Georgetown student Dania Ayoubi.
Carleto and his partner stand in the front of the class. "Hello, I'm Mr. Jones, and I am a city councilman,"
Carleto says, glancing down at his paper and twisting the tail of his shirt with his free hand. "We have some
complaints from the different communities and wards about police, and these are some of our suggestions about
cracking down on officers." He sounds nervous as he begins the list. "Stop harassing minorities and other ethnic
youths, and treat them equal to the same race that you are. Also, police don't arrest if there is a situation at the
school like a fight or anything. I feel they should not be arrested but taken home. Then tell their parents why
this happened and what the reason was for being stopped by the police." He moves briskly through the
suggestions and twice, tentatively, tries actually making eye contact with the audience. In conclusion, he says,
"verbally abusing" youth won't be tolerated any more. "Basically, we want to crack down on the officers and
have them removed, if so."
Another pair of students rises to begin a presentation, but the teens are interrupted by the crackle of a guard's
walkie-talkie. "Time to go!" the guard announces.
The law students are surprised -- they are not quite done -- but politely acquiesce.
"Wait!" Ashawntea says, standing up. "We got 10 more minutes."
"It will take you five minutes to get your stuff together and get your coats on," the guard says.
"But we have 10 minutes!" Carleto insists. He and Ashawntea sit back down and fold their arms. "It's only 2:20.
We got 10 more minutes still."
The guard takes a beat, then shrugs and concedes Carleto's point. He goes back out into the hall to wait.
Carleto shoots Ashawntea a look of surprise. His advocacy worked.
"Yesss!" Ashawntea hisses under his breath.

SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON REMARKS TO THE HAITI DONORS CONFERENCE Washington, D.C.
Tuesday, April 14, 2009
For some of us, Haiti is a neighbor. For others, a place of historic and cultural ties. For all of us, a test of collective
commitment and resolve.
Some may ask why a small nation in the middle of the Caribbean Sea should command our attention today. Why
countries in the Western Hemisphere, Europe, the Middle East and Asia should offer assistance to Haiti in the midst of a
global economic downturn that has shaken us all.
We're gathered at this conference because what happens in Haiti will resound far beyond the Caribbean and beyond the
Americas. The success or failure of this one small nation has economic, social and political implications, not just for its 9
million citizens, but for a region whose future will be shaped by the strength of our commitment to achieve economic
recovery, political progress and wider opportunity for people from Portland to Porto Alegre to Port-au-Prince.
The United States is here, first and foremost, because it is the right thing to do for our neighbor and friend. Our ties to
Haiti reach back to the early years of both our nations and have endured for generations-through our struggles for
independence; through the defeat of slavery in Haiti, which inspired slaves and abolitionists in the U.S. to press on with
their fight for freedom; and more recently, through the hundreds of thousands of Haitians who emigrated to the United
States and strengthened it through their contributions in politics, business, science, sports and culture-the benefits of
which I experienced firsthand as a senator representing New York.
We are also here because we are committed to creating a hemisphere in which every nation-no matter their present
level of wealth or current political circumstances-is moving in the same direction, toward greater peace, prosperity,
freedom and opportunity.
With Haiti, we have the chance through global cooperation and collaboration to stand in solidarity with a people who
are seeking to march forward. A nation where small investments and assistance from other countries are beginning to
reap dividends in economic growth, wider access to health care, stronger governmental institutions, greater safety and
security-and the higher quality of life that results when the material conditions of people's lives improve.
Today, Haiti is the poorest nation in the hemisphere, with one of the region's biggest gaps between the haves and havenots. But in 2006, Haiti had its highest economic growth since the 1990s. It is on track to reach the completion point for
the IMF's Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative in the next few months, which means significant debt relief is on the

way, which will free up approximately $4 million a month-money that Haiti can invest directly in improving the lives of
its people and building a future of self-sufficiency and confidence.
Haiti has the region's highest rate of HIV/AIDS, the highest rate of maternal mortality, and the highest rate of child
mortality. But the numbers of HIV infections and child and maternal deaths are all coming down.
Not long ago, Haiti endured three decades of a brutal dictatorship. But the national and presidential elections in 2006
jump-started Haiti's democracy, and President Preval and Prime Minister Pierre Louis are seeking to maintain a strong
commitment to democratic governance, which will take another step forward on Sunday with elections for the Senate.
Like many nations, including the United States, Haiti struggles against crime, particularly the global scourge of drug
trafficking. But reforms to improve policing, strengthen the justice system and fight corruption are now underway, and
a peacekeeping force led by Brazil has helped bring stability to many Haitian communities.
Haiti made these strides with help from its own citizens and many of the nations and institutions represented here
today. And this progress did not come only through government-to-government partnerships, but also through links
among businesses, universities, NG0s, religious and cultural groups, and individuals-the full range of resources and
relationships, which is the heart of smart power.
That trajectory of progress has been undermined by the combined winds of hurricanes and a global economic recession.
Haiti is in danger of stalling.
This conference gives us an opportunity to reignite its path to progress and work as a team-with Haiti at the helm-to
advance a comprehensive, long-term strategy for Haiti's growth, by coordinating hemispheric and international efforts,
targeting clear goals, and deploying our diverse skills and resources efficiently and effectively.
President Preval and Prime Minister Pierre Louis have identified what help Haiti needs to get back on track. With these
priorities as our guide and Haiti as our partner, we can make high-impact investments that will help lay the foundation
for stronger democratic institutions, a vibrant civil society, and an open market economy that creates more stability,
attracts international investment, and offers more jobs and wider economic opportunities for Haiti and our region as a
whole.
Now is the time to step up our investment in Haiti-not because the situation is so dire, but because the consequences of
inaction could lead to significantly larger costs in both human and financial terms down the road.
With $100, we can pay for a year of schooling for one Haitian child or immunize five. That's a tiny fraction of the cost of
solving these problems if they escalate over time.
The United States will target our support toward three areas that the Haitian government has requested, which are
aimed at promoting conditions that are essential for national and regional progress.
First, the Haitian people need to be secure. They must be able to travel safely to work and school and participate in the
civic lives of their communities without fear of violence.
Second, the country needs stronger infrastructure, particularly roads, which are the circulatory system of any robust
economy. Meanwhile, the people of Haiti are ready to work, but jobs are in short supply. We can accomplish two things
at once by putting people to work building roads and other infrastructure throughout Haiti.
And third, last year's hurricanes blew a hole in the government's budget.
Now Haiti is facing a huge deficit, which will make it harder to provide services in the short-term or fund major projects
in the long-term. Their debt obligations further constrain their ability to lay the groundwork for the future.
On each of these issues-security, jobs and infrastructure, and debt relief-the United States is lending its assistance and
seeking to partner with other nations to maximize our collective impact.

First, security. Effective international partnerships have already helped stem violence and improve security in Haiti. Cite
Soleil, for example, was a no-man's-land for years, but today, violence has subsided and a new sense of freedom is felt in
the streets.
The Haitian National Police have been supported in their work by the UN peacekeeping operation in Haiti, which is the
first in the hemisphere in which Latin American and Caribbean nations have participated. Brazil has led the mission with
determination and skill. This level of engagement and collaboration is a major step forward for our region.
But criminal networks operating in Haiti have not been eliminated. Haiti continues to fight drug traffickers who have
made this country a distribution point for illegal drugs headed to the United States, Canada and Europe.
Drug trafficking is a problem that involves many nations, all of which have a role to play in ending this deadly trade. That
includes the United States. We will give $2 million to fight drug trafficking in Haiti through the Merida Initiative, a plan
conceived by Mexico, Central America and the United States. This money will fund a secure communications network
for the Haitian police; provide a maritime base, vehicles and operational support for police drug units; provide training
to promote cross-border cooperation between Haiti and the Dominican Republic; and sharpen the investigation and
prosecution of drug crimes.
Once security is established, opportunity can take root. Nations from Canada to Spain to Japan offered generous
assistance to help repair the damage from last year's storms. Now it is time to take the next step-to move beyond
peacekeeping and disaster relief to long-term reconstruction and development.
Haiti has the highest unemployment rate in the hemisphere; 70 percent of its people don't have jobs. It also has one of
the region's highest population growth rates. Together, these trends have created what one development expert has
called a "youth tsunami"-nearly 1 million youths are expected to come into the job market in the next five years.
To spur the creation of jobs, the United States passed the HOPE Act in 2006, to give garments made in Haiti tariff-free
access to the U.S. market. Last October, we extended this trade preference for another decade. Apparel is one of the
largest sectors in Haiti's economy. We see great potential for job creation in this field, and we are gratified by Brazil's
interest in supporting the Haitian apparel industry as well.
But to build a diversified economy, Haiti needs more than trade deals. It also needs the infrastructure to support the
flow of goods and services. The roads in Haiti are beyond inadequate; many communities are isolated by the lack of a
passable road, which prevents people from holding jobs, children from going to school, and farmers from bringing their
crops to market.
Better roads could facilitate greater trade and bring more Haitians into the global economy.
Haiti also needs better roads in tourist areas, to promote that sector of the economy. Other urgent infrastructure needs
include digging water catchments to prevent floods, completing a garment workers' training center, and creating canals
to help irrigation.
As part of the $287 million in non-emergency assistance we will provide to Haiti this year, we have authorized $20
million in aid to generate jobs, to help people put their skills to work building their country's future. We look forward to
working with Haiti to distribute that money quickly and effectively, to trigger a virtuous circle for long-term economic
growth.
All the fiscal responsibility in the world can't prevent a natural disaster.
The hurricanes didn't just wash away crops and houses; they also washed away
months of government planning for the future. Haiti is facing an
approximately $50 million budget deficit, which could undermine Haiti's long-term ambitions as well as services that
people depend on to survive.

The United States will provide $20 million to pay Haiti's upcoming debt service obligations, to free Haiti to use its
resources to fill that budget gap.
[There is a fourth urgent need that the United States is committed to helping Haiti resolve. The combined effect of
rising food prices globally and the destruction of crops by the hurricanes have exposed millions of Haitians to
malnutrition and its destructive effects on health and productivity. Malnourished people are often too weak to work;
chronically hungry children struggle to learn in school. Food insecurity is not only a source of suffering, but a direct
threat to economic growth and global stability. The United States will provide a $15-million in-kind contribution of food
to help Haiti as it continues to rebuild. ]
These are some of the ways in which the United States is ready to partner with Haiti and other nations. But there are
additional pieces of the larger mission that need support-from helping Haiti adapt to climate change so future
hurricanes won't claim thousands of lives; to strengthening health systems; promoting sustainable agriculture; and
developing civil society.
This work is not only a matter for governments, but also a mission for our people. Here in the U.S., I have heard from
many individuals and groups who care about Haiti and want to help it develop but don't know how to invest their time
and money in a way that will make a real impact. We should think creatively about helping people outside government
get involved in a meaningful way with Haiti's future. Our people are our most valuable resource, and their potential to
help in places like Haiti has not yet been tapped.
We know from empirical data that small investments go a long way. This is something I've seen for myself in my own
visits to Haiti. I traveled there with my husband shortly after our wedding, and again years later as First Lady. I met a
doctor who had emigrated to the United States and became a U.S. Air Force Colonel, but returned to his home town of
Pignon to run a center for health, women's literacy and microcredit. He and his staff had few resources, but they
offered a comprehensive range of services to thousands of clients.
I visited a family-planning clinic where young people were trained to educate their peers about how to protect their
health and prevent teen pregnancy.
And I met with women from a group called Women in Democracy. These women had attended a global conference on
women's leadership in Montevideo, Uruguay, and when they returned home, they created this organization to support
Haitian women running for office.
Eleven years later, their organization is larger and stronger than ever, and so is their mission. In addition to supporting
women candidates, they also hold trade fairs for women entrepreneurs, run civic education programs to teach women
their rights, support women journalists, and build connections between women throughout the Caribbean.
These Haitian women remind us that we will never achieve real progress if we leave millions of people behind. And they
demonstrate a powerful commitment on the part of the Haitian people to participate in and lead their nation's recovery.
Our role is to support their work however we can, and to demonstrate through our actions our belief that their future is
as important as our own.
What happens next in Haiti will send a message to the world about the power of collaboration on behalf of every poor
nation that has worked hard to earn a foothold in the global economy but has tumbled in recent months.
On behalf of every man and woman in the hemisphere, from the northern expanses of Canada to the southern tip of
Argentina, who is working harder than ever with fewer resources and for smaller rewards. and the children whose
futures have been jeopardized by forces far beyond their control. let us prove our commitment to an economic recovery
that reaches not only the citizens of our individual nations but all people everywhere.

of Forensic Examiners; I have guest lectured and taught industrial security management, homeland
security, port and harbor security and critical incident response management.
As elated as everyone is over the splendid outcome of the Maersk Alabama hijacking case, as I had
predicted, in today's news, it is reported that four additional vessels were attacked and now Terrorists
are holding some 60 hostages. Before anyone, does anything regarding Somalia, may I make the
following comments and observations.
What is going on in the Gulf of Aden is as an organized criminal enterprise for profit. There are some
250 hostages being held and they are being kept as well as they can be under the circumstances because
the terrorists are expecting a payday out of this. As soon as they see any form of direct Military action in
the northeast at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden, I can assure you more Americans will be abducted, and
we will see another series of video beheadings under a Democratic watch.
I would recommend that the Secretary encourage the United Nations to create an International Maritime
Security Working Group. Since the Shipping Industry has already absorbed something like Fifty Billion
Dollars regarding the various piracy incidents in 2008 alone; they have the resources to contract private
security/military contractors who could work onboard merchant shipping in International Waters.

Pending our conversation, I thought I owed Anne-Marie a thank you and follow up message because we had a
terrific chat on Thursday,
bringing to bear the best extra-governmental academic expertise
so I just sent a proposal memo (attached and pasted in
through the Long Term Strategy Group
below). Thank you again for recommending me and for all of your advice.
I am most eager to help however I can and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
All best. Jackie
Memorandum
Department of State
To:
From: Long Term Strategy Group
Re:
Issue: The Long Term Strategy Group would undertake by means of a consulting agreement to explore major
shifts in American strategy for interacting with the major powers of Asia. This would involve simulations of
alternative interactions among Asian powers, and the impact of alternative American strategies on the outcome
of those interactions. Because these explorations involve speculative contingencies, they are most appropriately
conducted through non-governmental institutions, though they can ultimately be used to inform debate within
the American government.
Background: The strategic landscape of Asia has changed substantially over the last few decades, and may yet
shift suddenly in ways that are currently under-explored. The growth of Chinese power is altering the Asian
balance of power; the government of India is exploring new defense alignments; and Japanese officials are
openly discussing subjects that were previously off limits, up to and including a nuclear weapons option for
Japan. The current economic crisis will very likely lead to higher levels of political instability within major
Asian countries, including China, which may, in turn lead to discontinuities in their external policies, creating a
need to explore a range of possible new political configurations within the region, and possible new modes of
American interaction with traditional allies, new friends, and potential rivals. The explicit examination of these
new configurations and modes of interaction calls for combinations of activities (e.g., conduct of simulations of
long-range regional interactions, some of which entail non-incremental shifts in American foreign policy) and
consideration of scenarios that are inevitably politically sensitive and are most appropriately conducted outside ,
the American government.
The role of non-government groups working with the American government to explore speculative
contingencies is well established. The Center for New American Strategy has been exploring strategic options
in Afghanistan. The Brookings Institution and Center for Strategic and International Studies have regularly

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761495 Date: 06/30/2015
worked on plans to restructure agencies and departments within the American government that are not as well
positioned to conduct that sort of planning themselves.
The Long Term Strategy Group has specialized in the analysis of modes of strategic decision-making and
behavior that differ from those anticipated by the United States. It has focused on China, Iran, India, Pakistan,
and Japan, and has presented its work to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, National
Intelligence Council, NSC staff members, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. LTSG has participated in
and organized multiple simulations for the American government to explore the nature and outcome of complex
interactions among states that do not behave in ways commonly anticipated by the United States. As a private,
for-profit organization, it can conduct work that remains the exclusive, not-for-publication property of the
contracting party (i.e., the government).
The initial issues to be explored by LTSG would include:
--The impact of a potential severe and prolonged economic contraction on the foreign policies of China, Japan,
and Russia; the resulting shifts in alliances and relationships of conflict within the region; and the alternative
strategies for interacting with Asia that might be considered by the United States.
--The impact of a potential end of effective central government in Pakistan that leaves a Punjab state co-existing
with a Baluch/Sindh state and an Afghanistan that expands to control the border regions now part of Pakistan.
--The impact of the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran on intra-Asian relations.
In each case, the deliverables would constitute one monograph, the conduct of one simulation exercise
involving non-government participants (and government observers/participants if desired), and one workshop
report.
Action: To approve the general plan of work set forth above, and to initiate administrative measures to
complete the work within 15 months of initial approval.

Subject: Learning the hard way
Barack Obama may at last be getting a grip. But he still needs to show more leadership, at
home and abroad
HILLARY CLINTON'S most effective quip, in her long struggle with Barack Obama for the
Democratic nomination last year, was that the Oval Office is no place for on-the-job
training. It went to the heart of the nagging worry about the silver-tongued young
senator from Illinois: that he lacked even the slightest executive experience, and that in
his brief career he had never really stood up to powerful interests, whether in his home
city of Chicago or in the wider world. Might Mrs Clinton have been right about her foe?
Not altogether. In foreign policy in particular Mr Obama has already done some
commendable things. He has held out a sincere hand to Iran; he has ordered
Guantanamo closed within a year; he has set himself firmly against torture. He has, as
the world and this newspaper wanted, taken a less strident tone in dealing with friends
and rivals alike.
But at home Mr Obama has had a difficult start. His performance has been weaker than
those who endorsed his candidacy, including this newspaper, had hoped. Many of his
strongest supportersliberal columnists, prominent donors, Democratic Party
stalwartshave started to question him. As for those not so beholden, polls show that
independent voters again prefer Republicans to Democrats, a startling reversal of
fortune in just a few weeks. Mr Obama's once-celestial approval ratings are about where
George Bush's were at this stage in his awful presidency. Despite his resounding
electoral victory, his solid majorities in both chambers of Congress and the obvious
goodwill of the bulk of the electorate, Mr Obama has seemed curiously feeble.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760667 Date: 06/30/2015
There are two main reasons for this. The first is Mr Obama's failure to grapple as fast
and as single-mindedly with the economy as he should have done. His stimulus package,
though huge, was subcontracted to Congress, which did a mediocre job: too much of the
money will arrive too late to be of help in the current crisis. His budget, though in some
ways more honest than his predecessor's, is wildly optimistic. And he has taken too long
to produce his plan for dealing with the trillions of dollars of toxic assets which fester on
banks' balance-sheets.
The failure to staff the Treasury is a shocking illustration of administrative drift. There
are 23 slots at the department that need confirmation by the Senate, and only two have
been filled. This is not the Senate's fault. Mr Obama has made a series of bad picks of
people who have chosen or been forced to withdraw; and it was only this week that he
announced his candidates for two of the department's four most senior posts. Filling
such jobs is always a tortuous business in America, but Mr Obama has made it harder by
insisting on a level of scrutiny far beyond anything previously attempted. Getting the
Treasury team in place ought to have been his first priority.
Second, Mr Obama has mishandled his relations with both sides in Congress. Though he
campaigned as a centrist and promised an era of post-partisan government, that's not
how he has behaved. His stimulus bill attracted only three Republican votes in the
Senate and none in the House. This bodes ill for the passage of more difficult projects,
such as his big plans for carbon-emissions control and health-care reform. Keeping those
promises will soon start to bedevil the administration. The Republicans must take their
share of the blame for the breakdown. But if Mr Obama had done a better job of selling
his package, and had worked harder at making sure that Republicans were included in
drafting it, they would have found it more difficult to oppose his plans.
If Mr Obama cannot work with the Republicans, he needs to be certain that he controls
his own party. Unfortunately, he seems unable to. Put bluntly, the Democrats are
messing him around. They are pushing pro-trade-union legislation (notably a measure to
get rid of secret ballots) even though he doesn't want them to do so; they have been
roughing up the bankers even though it makes his task of fixing the economy much
harder; they have stuffed his stimulus package and his appropriations bill with pork,
even though this damages him and his party in the eyes of the electorate. Worst of all,
he is letting them get away with it.
Lead, dammit
There are some signs that Mr Obama's administration is learning. This week the battered
treasury secretary, Tim Geithner, has at last come up with a detailed plan to rescue the
banks (see article and article). Its success is far from guaranteed, and the mood of
Congress and the public has soured to the point where, should this plan fail, getting
another one off the drawing-board will be exceedingly hard. But the plan at least
demonstrates the administration's acceptance that it must work with the bankers,
instead of riding the wave of popular opinion against them, if it is to repair America's
economy. And it's not just in the domestic arena that Mr Obama has demonstrated his
willingness to learn: on Iraq, he has intelligently recalibrated his views, coming up with a

plan for withdrawal that seeks to consolidate the gains in Iraq while limiting the costs to
America.
But Mr Obama has a long way to travel if he is to serve his countryand the worldas
he should. Take the G20 meeting in London, to which he will head at the end of next
week. The most important task for this would-be institution is to set itself firmly against
protectionism at a time when most of its members are engaged in a game of creeping
beggar-thy-neighbour. Yet how can Mr Obama lead the fight when he has just pandered
to America's unions by sparking a minor trade war with Mexico? And how can he set a
new course for NATO at its 60th-anniversary summit a few days later if he is appeasing
his party with talk of leaving Afghanistan?
In an accomplished press conference this week, Mr Obama reminded the world what an
impressive politician he can be. He has a capacity to inspire that is unmatched abroad or
at home. He holds a strong hand when it comes to the Democrats, many of whom owe
their seats to his popularity at last year's election. Now he must play it.

E-diplomacy? Hillary Clinton Embraces New Media By MATTHEW LEE AP Sat, Mar 21, 2009
WASHINGTON (AP) Her videos aren't quite viral yet and she's not tweeting, but Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton is embracing new media, using the Web to promote the agency and her role as the nation's top envoy.
In less than three months, Clinton's State Department has embarked on a digital diplomacy drive aimed at spreading the
word about American foreign policy and restoring Washington's image. Part of a broader Internet outreach by President
Barack Obama's administration, Clinton's Web efforts already have outpaced those of her predecessors.
Since taking over at Foggy Bottom, Clinton's team has built on e-diplomacy innovations developed during George W.
Bush's presidency:
- They have revamped the department's Web site (http://www.state.gov) and the Dipnote blog (http://blogs.state.gov
and http://twitter.com/dipnote) with a fresh array of features, graphics and colorful posts.
- Users can track her foreign travel on an interactive map (http://www.state.gov/secretary/trvI/map/?trip_id5)
- They can keep up virtually with her every move through Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube
(http://www.youtube.com/user/statevideo).
- They can pose questions through an "ask-the-secretary" column
(http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/ask/secretary/117297.htm) that recently was revised to "text the secretary."
(http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/ask/secretary/120236.htm)
"New media is critical in this new era of diplomacy, where smart power and expanded dialogues are essential to
achieving our foreign policy goals," said Cheryl Mills, Clinton's longtime confidante and chief of staff.
Even for a government Web site, early indications show a surge in interest, according to internal State Department
statistics provided to The Associated Press.
Daily views of the Dipnote have doubled from 10,000 a year ago to 20,000 today, with 700 subscribers to its RSS feed,
twice as many as in March 2008. The number of followers of the department on Twitter has tripled since Jan. 20, when
Obama took office, while the department's Facebook friends have increased by 2 1/2 times in the same period.

"What they are bringing in is more willingness to experiment," said Peter Daou, who was Clinton's Web guru during her
2008 presidential run. "They are starting to push the envelope."
What remains unclear, though, is whether the spike in interest reflects the revamped Web site or the public's fascination
with Clinton's latest career shift.
"The personality behind it can't be dismissed," said Daou, who now blogs on human rights and other issues for U.N.
Dispatch (http://www.undispatch.com).
Like Obama, Clinton carries a Blackberry, but she is not allowed to use it on the department's secure seventh floor
where her office is. Aides say she takes an active role in answering questions from the Web, responding to bloggers and
pushing her agency's new media agenda.
"The United States Government is behind nearly everybody, except in certain discrete areas, in terms of technology,"
she told department employees at a town hall meeting in February. "We are, in my view, wasting time, wasting money,
wasting opportunities, because we are not prepared to communicate effectively with what is out there in the business
world and the private world."
Clinton was quick to embrace new media at the start of her presidential campaign. She announced her entry into the
race in February 2007 on the Web and followed with regular Internet chats and Internet fundraising appeals.
Nonetheless, Clinton was surpassed by the Obama campaign's mastery of the Internet and social networking sites.
Obama used the Web to raise record donations and identify and orchestrate an army of volunteers.
Clinton was first lady when the first White House Web site debuted in 1994. It was a bare-bones operation compared
with what is available now. Three years later, the State Department went online during Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright's tenure.
But it wasn't until 2007, under Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's spokesman, Sean McCormack, that the
department's public affairs shop began exploring new media in earnest. McCormack started the Dipnote blog, which
some foreign service veterans predicted would fail, given the private and stuffy nature of diplomacy.
The site endured under Rice. Clinton has retooled Dipnote with a Twitter feed and a broader range of posts from
diplomats.
It's more than just window dressing. This past week, diplomats used Twitter to "tweet" down false rumors they feared
might lead to a siege on the U.S. Embassy in Madagascar.
On her first two foreign trips, to Asia and then the Middle East and Europe, local bloggers were "embedded" with the
traveling press corps, broadening the audience for Clinton's official meetings and public appearances, which often
produce more personal than policy questions.
On her question site, Clinton has responded to a varied questions, from "Should the U.S. engage in direct dialogue with
Hamas?" to "How did you like meeting the Japanese students?"
By the end of Clinton's trip to the Mideast, her "text the secretary" feature had received nearly 2,000 text messages. On
both trips, Clinton also participated in Webcasts. One in Beijing on climate change generated more than 10.2 million
page views, more than 50,000 comments and 7,000 questions, according to the statistics.
Clinton's staff say they plan to venture further into the realm of social networking, an animated online world called
Second Life, and cell phone technology. The department hopes to follow through on a Bush administration organized

RE: Talking Points for Call with Sen Feinstein and Greg Craig
I've printed these and will give a copy to the Secretary and also to Huma.

Attached are two sets of talking points I will have Claire print for you today for two call on behalf of
Goodwin's candidacy for the Ninth Circuit.
The first set is for Sen Feinstein, which stresses Goodwin's moderate judgment she apparently needs
reassurance that Goodwin is not too liberal.
The other set is for Greg Craig, which stresses Goodwin's progressive credentials as he likely will find that
more appealing.

Hi Hillary, you are doing an amazing job as our Secretary of State and we are all immensely proud of you.
Really enjoyed your recent remarks regarding Afghanistan. Your words were spot on. Fyi, I will be in Kabul, Afghanistan
from 7 thru 14 April and am being hosted by Flamed Wardak, the son of the Afghanistan Secretary of Defense. Looking
forward to the visit.
There is some exciting personal news that I wanted to share with you. Although it has not yet been announced, I wanted
you to know that I recently interviewed with Cisco President ( John Chambers) and accepted a senior executive position
( effective 4 May ) to be the face and thought leader for Cisco in the field of "Intelligent Urbanization" with my focus
area being on Physical Safety and Security.
My wife (Faith) and I will live in Bangalore, India ( we are very excited ) and my area of responsibility will be the
emerging markets of Asia, Middle East and Africa . Since I will operate from India that particular country will be a major
focal point.
The use of the Network to improve the quality of life of Millions of people in areas such as Education, Health Care and
Security will be a major thrust of " Intelligent Urbanization". Faith and I are pumped up about our new overseas
adventure and the chance to work for a world class company and a superb business leader like John Chambers.
It is really a wonderful opportunity to positively impact many lives around the Globe.
Hope to perhaps call on you for a few minutes before I head over to India.
All the best and God Bless.
Sincerely, Dave

Subject: Obama's Personnel Problem
FcRtgcgn
Dangerous Thoughts
The especially rocky week that President Obama just experienced has led many political observers to
ask what happened to the fabled discipline candidate Obama showed during the campaign and on
into the transition. How did he and his vaunted political machine go from "No Drama Obama" to
bailout bonus blunders, Tim Geithner death watches and Special Olympic insults in less than two
months?
The easy answer is that circumstances have changed, and there is a lot of truth to that. Governing is
fundamentally different than campaigningparticularly in the pressure cooker of an economic
meltdown. But that's exactly why I would argue that the president's escalating execution troubles are
really a function of what has largely stayed the same since the election--the mismatched,
understaffed team of loyalists around him.
Indeed, as best I can tell, Obama has more than a Geithner problem. He has what I would call a
Rumsfeld problem. That is to say, in the infamous words of the imperious defense secretary, the
president made the mistake of going to economic war with the army he hadwhich was built for
political speed and presidential comfortinstead of the army he needs to beat back the crisis of
confidence that is crippling our markets and feeding the AIG blood lust.
This is not a question of having good personnel. Obama had some of the best minds working in
politics and policy helping him take down Hillary Clinton and John McCain. And it's only natural he
would want to bring many of them into his White House to help run his government, much like most
every modern president has done.
Rather, it's a question of having the right personnel in the right place to make the best case for
Obama's complicated and challenging economic agenda--and perhaps most important, to persuade

the American people to swallow their anger along with another round of distasteful but necessary
bailouts.
By that measure, if you step back and look at Obama's sales force, it seems pretty clear so far that
the president has the wrong mix of credibility, diversity and sensitivity for this seller's market. That's
true for Treasury, for the White House and, most acutely, across the airwaves.
Geithner, who joined Team Obama on the late side last November, has been the obvious poster child
for this problem. But he is far from alone.
Both Geithner and Larry Summers, who advised Obama during much of the campaign, have proven
to be ineffective and at times damaging advocates for the president's policies. That's in part because
of their uneven communications skills. But the bigger problem, critics on the right and left now agree,
is that these two brilliant experts are too close to the Wall Street elites they are trying to rescue to
procure the pound of contrition the public is demanding in exchange for more bailout money. Hence
the tin ear for AIG's gilded ripoff.
The White House's top talking heads have the opposite limitation: They are too removed from
workings of the financial system to speak credibly about it.
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is by all accounts a talented political operative, who shone during the
campaign. But unlike some of his recent predecessors--such as Clinton spokesman Mike McCurry
(State Department) and Bush spokesman An Fleischer (House Ways and Means Committee)--Gibbs
does not have any high-level policy experience. And according to Clinton refugees I know who now
work on Wall Street, Gibbs' lack of financial literacy too often shows in his vague, halting answers to
tough bailout questions. That's not his fault. He's just the wrong fit for this trust-building role.
Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, has a similar knowledge deficit. To be sure, Axelrod is one of
the most intuitive and resonant message meisters in the country, and few are better at doing political
battle on the Sunday shows. But he has never worked in business or government, and just does not
have the facility or standing of a Leon Panetta or even a David Gergen to make the case for a
complex initiative like the bank rescue program the administration unveiled on Monday.
Obama is suffering from not having a Gergen--in more ways than one. Indeed, when it comes to
domestic issues, this White House often appears more a team of radicals than rivals. Forget about a
Republican counterweight in Obama's inner circle--there does not seem to be any evidence even of a
Democratic contrarian among the campaign loyalists and liberal acolytes in the West Wing.
That is to say, the kind of independent thinker who would have pushed Obama to veto the earmarkladen, omnibus-pending bill that wound up making him look like a hypocrite; or to announce a list of
programs the president would be cutting or eliminating before he released his budget to show he was
serious about fiscal balance and discipline. Not to triangulate, but to reanimate the country-over-party
spirit Obama widely inspired last year and to reassure millions of centrist supporters who have
Understandable qualms about the dramatic expansion of deficit spending the president is pursuing.
That lack of perspective is compounded by the lack of people in key positions in major agencies. And
no one has paid a bigger price for that than Geithner, as Obama himself acknowledged in his 60
Minutes interview Sunday. Without any top political appointees in place at Treasury, Geithner had no
one to bail him out on the AIG mess--to make up for his tone-deafness, monitor the bonus process
and prod him to nip the issue in the bud before it could explode into a capital-eating and capitalwasting fireball.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760595 Date: 06/30/2015
The obvious solution to these sales force problems would be the kind of major shakeup Clinton
instituted following the collapse of his health care plan and the drubbings Democrats took in the 1994
midterms, which brought in Panetta, Gergen and a handful of other old-hand pragmatists. Some will
say it's too early to press the eject button, but you could just as easily argue that this is not a learning
curve problem that is going to improve with time.
Nevertheless, it's just not realistic to expect Obama to take emergency measures now, especially
after the president unequivocally expressed his support for Geithner and the markets rallied around
the rollout of the Treasury secretary's toxic asset plan. So I would bet on Obama to opt for addition
over subtraction, and, instead of firing his top salesmen, to bring in more fine-tuned and effective
reinforcements to pitch Congress, the press and the public on his behalf.
Ideally, that would mean elevating someone like Paul Volcker, who is currently chairing Obama's
recovery advisory group, into the public face of the president's recovery program. The former Fed
chairman projects strength, confidence and legitimacy in ways that Geithner never could. He is not
tainted by the original Bush bailout packages. And he is clearly the most credible spokesman on
financial matters within the Obama orbit.
Best of all, because Volcker is already on the team, his elevation would be seen as a shift, not a
shakeup, and give Geithner breathing room to do his best wonk work.
The president would also be well-served, as long as the financial crisis is going on, to take some of
the burden off of Gibbs. One option: split the daily press briefings into two. Let Gibbs continue
handling the general part of the briefing, and then bring in a specialist to handle the economic portion
of the program.
Someone like McCurry, the gold standard of recent White House spokesmen; or, as one Clinton alum
suggested, Howard Schloss, a former assistant secretary for public affairs at the Treasury under
Clinton and now the head of communications for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Splitting the briefing duties may seem a little unconventional. But these are hardly normal times.
Besides, you didn't see the White House press secretary doing the Pentagon briefings during the last
two wars with Iraq.
It's this general posture, more than any specific move, that will most help Obama reduce the drama,
reassert his primacy and, not least of all, avoid repeating the worst mistakes of the Rumsfeld reign.
We know too well what happens when a president sticks with the same ineffective team and the
same failed strategy purely out of loyalty and stubborness.
If this is no time for politics as usual, as the president has rightly said, it should be no time for political
staffing as usual, either. Want policies that work? Get the army you need to win.

(CNN) -- As Hillary Clinton flies to Mexico for a high-level summit, a new national poll indicates seven in 10 Americans are happy with
the job she's doing as secretary of state.
Seventy-one percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Wednesday said they approve of how
Clinton is handling her job as America's top diplomat. Fewer than one in four disapprove.
"Nine in 10 Democrats approve of Clinton -- that's no surprise," said Keating Holland, CNN's polling director. "But by a 50 percent to 43
percent margin, Republicans also think she is doing a good job at the State Department. That's an interesting result for a polarizing
figure like Clinton."
The poll's release comes as Clinton teams up with Mexican officials to kick off weeks of meetings intended to find ways to fight drug
violence on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border. The Obama administration on Tuesday announced a major increase in security
funding and agent deployments along the border. '--..tWatch what Clinton hopes to accomplish in Mexico
"Since taking office in January, Clinton has been at the White House nearly every day, meeting with President Obama, Vice President
[Joseph] Biden and other members of the Cabinet and national security staff," said CNN State Department producer Elise Labott. "The
secretary maintains close ties with her former colleagues on Capitol Hill and meets regularly with congressional leaders."
The former first lady, senator from New York and one-time primary rival to Obama already has clocked close to 60,000 miles in her first
two trips overseas -- one journey to China, the other to the Middle East and Europe -- since becoming secretary of state in January.
Clinton was met by large crowds and warmly received by world leaders on both trips, although "she met some criticism in Beijing, where
she was criticized for a lower-key approach that seemed to downplay the importance of human rights in the overall relationship with
China," Labott said.
"Her aides said she wanted a new approach to dealing with China's human rights record, including less public criticism and more
private discussions, which may prove more productive in changing Chinese behavior."
Clinton's approval rating is higher than that of her boss: The same CNN/Opinion Research poll put Obama's approval rating at 64
percent, 7 percentage points lower than Clinton's.
Clinton has a couple of advantages over Obama in public opinion today, Holland said.

"She hasn't had a prominent role in the administration's economic or budget policies," he said. "There haven't been any international
issues that have caused as much outrage as the AIG bonuses. And her name wasn't on the ballot in November, so any partisan
animosity to her that is left over from 2008 is not as fresh in the public's mind."
Clinton's approval rating is also 10 percentage points higher than the one her predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, had in March 2005, then
two months into her tenure as secretary of state.
The CNN/Opinion Research poll of 1,019 Americans was conducted by telephone March 12-15. The survey's sampling error is plus or
minus 3 percentage points.

Jorge Ramos led Univision's evening broadcast by saying that SecState HRC's visit had pleasantly surprised the Mexican
people. The ensuing piece, by the network's correspondent in Mex city, went on to cover the highlights of the visit, with
an emphasis on her admission of the US role in the drug problem. It was noted that she went down to take responsibility
not apportion blame or criticize Mexico. The basillica stop also got excellent coverage as a rightful tribute to a central
figure in Mex culture and heritage.
Ditto CNN en Espatiol and the commentariat there.
Major kudos to the trip planners and implementers!

We have just received an action memo seeking a timely decision on State's position on a trade dispute with
Mexico. EEB and WHA have competing recommendations.
First, some background. Mexico requested a WTO panel to resolve its tuna/dolphin dispute with the United
States U.S. measures prohibit Mexican tuna from being labeled "dolphin safe" even though the tuna is
harvested in accordance with the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program. However,
dolphin population recovery has not occurred as rapidly as expected under that Program. Despite the measures,
Mexico exported about $18 million worth of tuna to the United States in 2007.

International Affairs Budget

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760665 Date: 06/30/2015
If the first years of the twenty-first century have taught us anything about national security, it is that in a
globalized world, our problems are interconnected, and soultimatelyis our security. We are endangered by
weak and failed states as well as by strong states. We are endangered by diseases and climate change emissions
half a world away. We are endangered when we allow chaos and crisis to create the conditions for ideologies of
radical hatred and violence to take root. And it is clear to all that meeting these global challenges will require
far more than our military: it will require a strengthened commitment to diplomacy and development.
To put this as simply and bluntly as possible, that's why passing a robust foreign affairs budget is a matter not
just of America's world leadership, but also of our national security. But don't take my word for it:
Ask our Secretary of Defense, Bob Gates. He said: "What is clear to me is that there is a need for a dramatic
increase in spending on the civilian instruments of national security diplomacy, strategic communications,
foreign assistance, civic action, and economic reconstruction and development."
Ask our Secretary of State and former colleague, Hillary Clinton, who testified in her confirmation hearing that
"the relatively small but important amount of money we do spend on foreign aid is in the best interests of the
American people" and "promotes our national security and advances our interests and reflects our values."
When our soldiers and generals join our top diplomats in demanding increased civilian capacity and increased
civilian fundingeven in the midst of an economic crisis that's when you know there is not just a growing
consensus, but a real sense of urgency behind strengthening our civilian mission.
Returning diplomacy and development to their rightful place cannot be achieved through words alone: It takes
money to drive civilian foreign policyand if it keeps us safer, as I believe it will, then that is money well
spent.
Full funding of the President's international affairs budget is a vital step toward greater civilian capacity, and I
urge my colleagues to support it. That's why, along with Senators Lugar, Leahy, Voinovich, Durbin, Kaufman,
Menendez, Dodd, Feinstein, Brown, Sanders, Lieberman, Casey, and Corker, I ask for approval of this
amendment to restore $4 billion worth of funding to the President's FY 2010 international affairs budget request
for the Function 150 Account. The offset here will come from the Function 920 Account.
The reality is that right now, we are not doing nearly enough to invest in diplomacy and development. That's
the finding of numerous studies conducted inside and outside of government. Funding for the Department of
Defense is over half a trillion dollars. In 2008, the Army added about 7,000 soldiers to its total; that's more
people than serve in the entire American Foreign Service. 1,100 Foreign Service officers could be hired for the
cost of a single C-17 military cargo plane. And four billion dollars is less than two percent of what the
government has given to AIG.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F!2014-20439 Doc No. C05760665 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760665 Date: 06/30/2015
That is vital context for any discussion of the President's proposed increase in the international affairs
budget. The President requested $53.8 billion in FY 2010 to fund next year's budgetan increase of 8%, or $4
billion, over last year's funding level of $49.8 billion.
We must recognize just what a small share of our overall spending the President's international affairs budget
comprises: 1.4% of the total FY 2010 Budget and only 6.8% of the "national security budget," which includes
defense and homeland security. Even with this year's proposed increase in funding, the international affairs
budget still represents just 0.35% of GDP. This sliver of our budget funds all State Department operations,
foreign aid and foreign policy programs, our diplomatic programs, global health initiatives on HIV/AIDS,
Malaria and Tuberculosis programs, and humanitarian assistance to help stabilize fragile states, reduce global
poverty and assist refugees.
Some have described the President's request as a 41% increase from last year's budget of $38 billion, but that
simply isn't accurate: The figure of $38 billion doesn't include last year's supplemental appropriations, which
raise the total to nearly $50 billion. The President's FY 2010 budget includes supplemental
appropriations. That's why the actual increase is only $4 billion, or 8%. When we talk about changes in
spending, we have to compare apples to apples.
What's more, the President should be commended for following through on his pledge to enhance transparency
and improve fiscal discipline by shifting supplemental appropriations into a single budget. This is a more
straightforward way of doing business that doesn't seek to hide or massage spending figures by tucking extra
spending into supplemental bills. That is why my colleague Senator Conrad, the Chairman of the Budget
Committee, has been vocal in praising this new approach.
But the real question we are facing today is what will this extra $4 billion get us? This $4 billion will bring
vital foreign aid increases to programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This $4 billion will build civilian capacity
and put our diplomats back on the front lines of American foreign policy. This $4 billion will provide life
saving treatment for people with HIV/AIDS and supports broad prevention efforts that save lives every
day. This $4 billion will help make people all over the world safer, and in the process, it will help keep
America safer.
Of course, some will claim that in the midst of a global economic crisis, we do not have the luxury of leading on
the global stage. But this is precisely the moment when our investment is most neededand it is also a
moment when our leadership and our economic system face the greatest challenge. And ultimately, efforts in
the developing world win us influence and respect, and they also contribute to the growth and stability of future
consumers of our products and future trading partners.
There is scarcely a corner of the globe where our efforts are not impacted by this budget:
In Afghanistan and Pakistan, we must finally reverse years of neglect and drift.
Imagine a nation as populous as Iraq, Afghanistan and North Koreacombined. A nation with a full arsenal of
nuclear weapons, and ballistic missiles capable of delivering them anywhere in a thousand- kilometer
range. Imagine a nation whose population is overwhelmingly moderate, overwhelmingly committed to
democracy and rule of lawbut deeply suspicious of its leadership, and of America's friendship. Imagine a
nation in which Osama bin Laden and the leadership of Al Qaeda has found sanctuary for the past seven
yearsa haven from which they and their confederates have plotted and carried out attacks on their host
country, on neighboring countries, and on sites around the globe.
This nation could serve the keystone for a new, cooperative relationship between the Western and Muslim
worldsor become an epicenter for radicalism and violence on a cataclysmic scale. Now imagine that

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760665 Date: 06/30/2015
America took a long, hard look at the status quo of our policy towards a nation at just such a crossroadsand
decided to do nothing different.
We need a bold, new strategy for Pakistan: Our current path has not brought success, and simply tinkering
around the margins is guaranteed to fail. We have little choice but to think big. That is why President Obama
called on Congress to pass the Enhanced Partnership With Pakistan Act that Sen. Lugar and I will introduce
very soon: It will authorize $1.5 billion annually, in order to help shape a new relationship with
Pakistan. Without the full authorization of the President's budget, even a priority as vital as this one could be
shunted aside.
We are not the only ones vying for influence. You know who else understands clearly how powerful a weapon
foreign aid can be? Iran does. That's why after its proxy Hezbollah provoked Israel's bombing of Lebanon,
they painted the green Hezbollah flag on houses all over Lebanonhouses they plan to rebuild, largely with
Iranian money. If we don't spend money on aid, we are surrendering the field to those who do.
Nor can we afford to abandon our efforts against global AIDS. We know that PEPFAR has won America
friends and allies across Africa and the world we know that AIDS contributes to failed states, not to mention
incalculable human misery amongst the sick and dying and the orphans they leave behindand that is why our
national interest and our moral interest demand that we deliver on our commitments at a moment of
crisis. Last year, both parties came together to authorize up to $48 billion over five years. Today, it is
imperative that we do all we can to fund these programs. If we don't, we will freeze enrollment of patients into
life-saving antiretroviral treatment. Meanwhile, prevention efforts the most cost-effective way to stop AIDS
from ravaging a societywill be the first ones cut. And tragically, we know what will happen next: more
people will contract HIV, and more will die from AIDS-related illnesses.
Refugees and human rights advocates also need our help. Economic support funds are vital to support those
living inside countries with repressive regimes, like Burma and Zimbabwe. We know that refugees and
displaced populations can be the spark for large-scale violence, and today we face that very threat from the
millions displaced from homes in Iraq. Our Migration and Refugee Assistance is more important than ever to
help us provide immediate, effective assistance to these vulnerable populations.
Our international affairs budget will also have profound implications for another national security issue that will
only grow in importance: the threat of global climate change. This December, the global community will be
meeting in Copenhagen to create a new international agreement to address the urgent threat of global climate
change. The science is screaming at us: we have no time to lose if we hope to avert catastrophe. If we want to
persuade the developing nations of the world to do what is necessary and in all of our interests we must help
them to respond now to the impacts of the crisis that are already being felt globallyand to preemptively make
the dramatic technological changes across their economies that this threat demands.
Our leverage at the negotiating table in Copenhagen will depend directly on our ability to offer a strong
financing package. Negotiators are meeting for an interim session this week in Bonn, and it is essential that we
send a clear signal that the United States Congress is serious about financing to support the commitments the
Obama Administration makes on the world stageand serious about being part of the global solution to one of
the greatest threats we face.
We also need more diplomats and aid officers to troubleshoot on the front lines. The 2010 budget also marks
the first year of a new commitment to a significant increase in the size of the Foreign Service at both the State
Department and USAID. Today we are barely covering attrition rates. We have asked these agencies to
expand their missions and operations into new theaters like Iraq and Afghanistanand we need to expand their
resources accordingly.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760665 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760665 Date: 06/30/2015
Even as we face long-term security threats such as climate change, we must also address the immediate and
urgent threats of nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism. The President's budget provides additional
nonproliferation and counter-proliferation funding to secure nuclear materials around the world, and to fund
new and ongoing initiatives to build the counterterrorism capacity of partnering countries to do the
same. That's how you leverage our civilian spending to keep America safe.
Surveying the wide range of commitments and aspirations this budget addresses, it is clear that our challenge is
immense. And yet, even as we confront a crisis here at home, we cannot afford to delay the task of restoring our
leadership, returning to our best traditions of civilian outreach, and restoring our influence and authority. We
cannot afford to come up short on our promises to allies, to vulnerable populations, and to the world. We
cannot try to be a world leader on the cheap. If we fail to do our part to solve the world's problems, those
problems will eventually find us here at home.
From pandemics to climate change to failed states, this century's security challenges demand that a new level of
commitment to diplomacy and development. With this relatively small investment, we are making significant
strides toward restoring America's leadership role in the world. It will make the world safer, and it will make
us safer. And so I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the President's budget request.

Francisco,
Just wanted to congratulate you and the entire team on a striking success. The Secretary's visit was jaw-dropping from
the Mexican perspective. I have never seen such a positive reaction to a visit by a high ranking US government
official. My personal favorite: Estamos hillarizados por estos dias.
There is obviously also a "show me the money" aspect of the reaction, but even Mexico's newspaper of the traditionally
anti-American left editorialized about "Good Clinton, Bad Napolitano".
And inside President Calderon's circle they are thrilled with Wednesday's meeting.
Many congratulations.
OK, I will stop bothering you with my emails and allow you to get back to doing your job.
warm regards,
Pamela

Subject: Follow-up on March 12 Dinner on Mexico
B6
Dear Francisco,
I am sorry we did not have the chance to chat last week prior to the dinner, although I did see you at the end of the
table so now at least have a face in my head to go with your name.
I am writing you in the "follow-up" spirit that Sec. Clinton presented at the end of the dinner. I thought that a few
insights gleaned from having been in Mexico all this week might be of use to the secretary, although after my breakfast
with Leslie Bassett on Wednesday I am more convinced than ever that the Secretary is receiving high quality
information about Mexico from her embassy here. So there may not be that much for me to add, nevertheless...
I had breakfast Thursday with President Calderon's main foreign policy adviser, Rafael Fernandez de Castro, a very old
and good friend. He made two points I think are worth relaying to you and Anne-Marie:
1) As I mentioned at dinner, Mexico is impatient and President Calderon frustrated (more so now after the trucking
spat). To the extent that secretary Clinton can bring something tangible -- a sort of down payment on the kind of
relationship we would like to build with Mexico -- it would help enormously. In that context, Rafael reminded me that
President Calderon would very much like to be remembered as Mexico's first "Green President" (and is in something of a
competition with the Mayor of mexico City on this score).
2) rafael also related a very useful conceptuilization of President Calderon the man that I think will be of use to you:
he is a social conservative, Mexican nationalist (which by definition carries with it some anti-US sentiments) but also
harbors profound liberal values -- he is a true democrat (not all Mexican politicians are) and a strong supporter of free
trade and of a market economy that is largely free but regulated where required (which by definition carries some
sympathy for US values and Democratic party values), it is this dichotomy that defines him as a person and makes him
intelligible as a politician.
I also met with two female Senators who suggested to me the possibility of arranging a meeting between Sec. Clinton
and Mexico's female governors (2) and senators (about 20). In an obviously male-dominated society, they have been
working hard to promotewomen's issues and they think that the symbolism of a meeting with the secretary would help
their cause enormously. I agreed to pass the suggestion along in part becasue I am impressed by how these women -from political parties that otherwise find it very hard to collaborate -- are cooperating across party lines to promote
women's issues, this kind of cross-party cooperation is much less common than it ought to be in Mexico's still formative
democracy. And it is obviously in the US interest to encourage this kind of behavior and thereby help solidify democratic
practices in Mexico. I know it is very late in your trip-planning to make this suggestion, but if there is not time for such
a meeting this trip, maybe for the next one.
I hope these musings were of some use.
Warm regards,
Pamela

The panel also will mark up a bill (S 705) to reauthorize the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC)
through fiscal 2013.
The program, which turns a profit, directs private capital to developing countries by offering U.S. businesses
and lenders political risk insurance and investment financing.
OPIC's temporary reauthorization expires at the end of fiscal 2009.
The House passed a long-term reauthorization in the 110th Congress, but it stalled in the Senate when
Tom Coburn, R-Okla., objected to language to encourage projects to address greenhouse gas emissions. That
language was not included in this bill, in part because OPIC already examines its projects' greenhouse gas
impact and also because of expectations that the Obama administration's plans for climate change legislation
would impose a similar requirement.
Coburn also argued that the program failed to target the world's poorest countries, lacked accountability and
gave too much in loans to large corporations.
The reauthorization would bar OPIC assistance to companies that have loans to, or sizable investments in, the
energy sector of any state that sponsors terrorism. It would aim to reward countries with oil, gas or gems that
have adopted transparent accounting systems.
The markup is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. Tuesday in S-116 Capitol.

DeRosa-Joynt,
Obama envoy: Time to act on climate change By ARTHUR MAX 2 hours ago
BONN, Germany (AP) Once booed at international climate talks, the United States won sustained applause Sunday
when President Barack Obama's envoy pledged to "make up for lost time" in reaching a global agreement on climate
change.
Todd Stern also praised efforts by countries like China to reign in their carbon emissions, but said global warming
"requires a global response" and that rapidly developing economies like China "must join together" with the industrial
world to solve the problem.
The debut of Obama's climate change team was widely anticipated after eight years of obdurate participation in U.N.
climate talks by the previous Bush administration.
"We are very glad to be back. We want to make up for lost time, and we are seized with the urgency of the task before
us," Stern said to loud applause from the 2,600 delegates to the U.N. negotiations.
They clapped again when Stern said the U.S. recognized "our unique responsibility ... as the largest historic emitter of
greenhouse gases," which has created a problem threatening the entire world.
The two-week meeting by 175 countries that began Sunday was the latest stage of talks aimed at forging a climate
change agreement to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on emissions targets for rich countries, which expires in 2012.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761448 Date: 06/30/2015
The United States was instrumental in negotiating Kyoto, but failed to win support at home. When George W. Bush took
office, he renounced it, calling Kyoto a flawed agreement that would harm the U.S. economy and unfair because it
demanded nothing from countries like China or India.
Stern said his team did not want a repeat of the Kyoto debacle. The latest agreement is due to be finalized in December
in Copenhagen, Denmark.
"Ultimately, this is a political process," he said. "The way forward is steered by science and pragmatism."
Stern said no one on his team doubted that climate change is real. "The science is clear, the threat is real, the facts on
the ground are outstripping the worst-case scenarios. The cost of inaction or inadequate action are unacceptable," he
said a total change of tone from his predecessors.
Scientists warned recently that climate change is happening more rapidly that previously calculated and said the Earth
could be in danger of major climatic changes that would trigger widespread social disruption. U.N. scientists say rising
sea levels caused by global warming threatens to swamp coastlines and entire island states, and predicted increasing
drought for arid countries, especially in Africa.
Obama has set aside $80 billion in his economic stimulus package for green energy, promised $150 billion for research
over 10 years, and was tightening regulations on auto emissions, Stern said.
"America itself cannot provide the solution, but there is no solution without America," he said.
"It sent chills up my spine seeing the U.S. applauded," Keya Chatterjee of the Worldwide Fund for Nature said after
Stern's speech.
It was only 15 months ago at Bali, Indonesia, that U.S. negotiators were booed when they threatened to veto an accord
laying down a two-year negotiating process to replace Kyoto. They backed off when the delegate from Papua New
Guinea, Kevin Conrad, told them if "you are not willing to lead ... please get out of the way."
Stern urged delegates Sunday to adopt a long-range vision for reducing climate change, rather than to focus on "a series
of short-term, stopgap measures," and repeated Obama's determination to cut emissions by 80 percent by mid-century.
His speech was meant to shift the debate from persistent demands by developing countries for industrial nations to
reduce emissions by 25-40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. Stern has said previously that goal was unattainable for
the U.S.
Speaking earlier to reporters, Stern defended the U.S. administration's goal of reducing U.S. carbon emissions by roughly
16 percent over the next dozen years from current levels.
"We don't think (the target) is low at all," he said, adding it was "consistent with what other countries are willing to do."
Others disagreed.
"The target that the United States has put forward is not going to be sufficient," said Chatterjee.
Jake Schmidt of the Nature Resources Defense Council said the Obama administration was talking behind the scenes
about setting an annual emissions reduction target leading up to 2050.
"It's hard to turn a big ship around, but it would show we are serious about our commitments to cut emissions from the
medium to the long term," Schmidt said.

With time running out before the pact is due to be completed in December, delegates are trying to narrow vast
differences over how best to fight climate change.
Issues include how much countries need to reduce emissions, how to raise the tens of billions of dollars needed annually
to fight global warming and how to transfer money and technology to poor countries who are most vulnerable to
increasingly fierce storms, droughts and failing crops.
Stern said the U.S. position will be guided by whatever deal Obama can strike with Congress.
"I do not think that it is realistic to believe that we will then be able to go into an international setting and get a higher
number than that," he said.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761448 Date: 06/30/2015
"Everyone is very excited" by signs of a stronger U.S. commitment, Yvo de Boer, head of the U.N. Climate Change
Secretariat, told a news conference. China and the United States are the top greenhouse gas emitters.
NO WHITE HORSE
Stern said, however, that the United States could not make the deepest cuts in greenhouse gases advised by the U.N.
Climate Panel for 2020 to avoid the worst of global warming, of between 25 and 40 percent below 1990 levels.
"We should be guided by a combination of science and Pragmatism," Stern said. Many developing nations, led by China,
want rich nations to make deep cuts.
Almost no developed nations have laid out goals within the 25-40 percent range. Among the most ambitious, the
European Union plans cuts of 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2020.
The U.N. Climate Panel projects more floods, droughts, more powerful storms, heatwaves and rising sea levels from a
gradual build-up of heat-trapping gases from burning fossil fuels.
De Boer has in the past called Obama's goals an "opening offer" that he hopes will be toughened in Copenhagen.
Stern said that it was unclear whether Congress will manage to pass climate legislation before the Copenhagen meeting
in December. If a law is passed by then, he said, it would be unrealistic for Washington to sign up to any tougher cuts.
On Saturday, an estimated one billion people turned out the lights for an Earth Hour to show concern about global
warming. The action also dimmed landmarks from the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
"Earth hour was probably the largest public demonstration on climate change ever," de Boer said.

We have just received an action memo seeking a timely decision on State's position on a trade dispute with
Mexico. EEB and WHA have competing recommendations.
First, some background. Mexico requested a WTO panel to resolve its tuna/dolphin dispute with the United
States U.S. measures prohibit Mexican tuna from being labeled "dolphin safe" even though the tuna is
harvested in accordance with the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program. However,
dolphin population recovery has not occurred as rapidly as expected under that Program. Despite the measures,
Mexico exported about $18 million worth of tuna to the United States in 2007.

Subject: Univision coverage of S trip
Just saw a portion of S interview with Jorge Ramos. She hit the ball out of the park on the question framed around
Enrique Krauze's NYT op-ed today about US moral hypocrisy. I don't think he was expecting her to give a categorical
answer and address the issue head on. They teased her response to a question about Chavez's comment that Obama is
ignorant. They will air it in Ramos' Sunday talk show. My mom saw the Telemundo interview with Sevcec. She said that
one was more personal and friendly.
Meanwhile, the coverage out of Mexico City featured Espinosa welcoming the WH announcement today as consistent
with the overall policy goals while calling on us to do more.
Did she do Patricia Junot of CNN en Espanol?
You've prob seen the promo: Anderson Cooper is reporting from the border 'the war next door" for the next two days.
They had a pretty dramatic set-up piece today.

Re: Statement on settlement moratorium
Today's announcement by the Government of Israel helps move forward toward resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
We believe that through good-faith negotiations the parties can mutually agree on an outcome which ends the conflict
and reconciles the Palestinian goal of an independent and viable state based on the 1967 lines, with agreed swaps, and
the Israeli goal of a Jewish state with secure and recognized borders that reflect subsequent developments and meet
Israeli security requirements. Let me say to all the people of the region and world: our commitment to achieving a
solution with two states living side by side in peace and security is unwavering.

Abedin,
If our early assessment of today's election in Honduras holds, we will have just been witness to a remarkable thing:
Honduran voters have taken back their democracy from two failed leaders -- Zelaya and Micheletti -- who had driven
Honduras to isolation and despair.
The turnout (probably a record) and the clear rejection of the Liberal Party shows our approach was the right one, and
puts Brazil and others who would not recognize the election in an impossible position. As we think about what to say, I
would strongly recommend that we not be shy. We should congratulate the Honduran people, we should connect
today's vote to the deep democratic vocation of the Honduran people, and we should call on the community of
democratic nations (and especially those of the Americas) to recognize, respect, and respond to this accomplishment of
the Honduran people.
Finally, this Administration, which worked so hard to manage and resolve this crisis, should be the one who defines the
results and perceptions of today's vote, and not our critics on the Hill (who had no clear pathway to elections) or our
adversaries in the region (who never wanted this day to happen).

Re: Backdrop to your coming week
Below is a piece published today in The Observer, the Sunday newspaper of The Guardian, on the Chilcot inquiry,
summarizing the testimony so far and what is expected this week while you are drumming up support for the
Afghanistan initiative. Britain and Europe are riveted by Chi;cot, especially official circles. The objective correlative, of
course, is trust in any U.S. administration and deep skepticism about the Afghanistan project. Yet another undercurrent
among the mandarins is disdainful resentment of indifference to Britain, a sentiment beyond Labour or the Tories but
what has emerged as the view of the permanent establishment at Whitehall and elsewhere.
Mandelson Watch: After Miliband declined to reach for the EU foreign secretaryship (though Sarkozy wanted him to
take it and Brown was not averse, even favorable), Mandelson personally campaigned on his own for it among the
Europeans. Mandelson was eager to Miliband to take the EU post, allowing Mandelson to be appointed foreign
minister. When Miliband refused, MandeIson's ambition was thwarted, and tried to seize the EU position for himself,
but without any backing in Europe or from Gordon. The Europeans thought him mad. Suddenly, they recalled his bad or
strange behavior as UK commissioner to the EU. When Christine Ashton was named, Mandelson briefed the press on her
lack of credentials, etc. Ashton, as it happens, had worked the press to try to help Mandelson when he had gotten into
the mess that led to his first resignation. Those inside the government who remember this see it as an illustration of the
principle that no good deed goes unpunished. Mandelson, in a snit, is now not speaking to Gordon as though his
rejection were Gordon's fault.
One more item: Did you read Jim Hoagland in the Washington Post today? He nails McDonough for trashing Biden,
among other things. Enclosed below story on Chilcot:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/nov/29/iraq-war-inquiry-chilcot-blair
Chilcot Inquiry: Mandarins take revenge on Tony Blair over Iraq Civil servants and diplomats are lining up to stick a knife
into former PM's reputation
*
Toby Helm <http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/tobyhelm> and Rajeev Syal

Whitehall mandarins are supreme masters of subtle evasion. But they do not rise to the top of their trade without
also knowing how to stick in the knife.
At times the Chilcot inquiry into Britain's involvement in Iraq since 2001, which opened last week, resembled a
gentlemen's club moved to the sanitised surroundings of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760500 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760500 Date: 06/30/2015
Oxbridge-educated pillars of the establishment politely questioned other Oxbridge-educated pillars of the establishment
about who said what to whom in which memo. The inquiry is a peculiar mixture of the old and the new, the open and
closed. It is conducted in the language of Whitehall, yet beamed live by webcam to the world.
Critics are convinced that, for all Sir John ChiIcot's promises to the contrary, it will turn out to be another Whitehall
whitewash. For the cognoscenti, little new information has yet emerged, and when the final report is written it will not
seek to apportion blame. Yet beneath the equivocation and mandarin-speak, Whitehall seems, in as much as it knows
how, to be using Chilcot to wield the scalpel. Throughout the first week the pent-up frustrations of diplomats and career
civil servants over the way Tony Blair <http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/tonyblair> and George Bush secretly plotted
to oust Saddam Hussein, bypassing the "official channels" in which they operate, has been there for all to see.
Chilcot is said to have been warned by his Whitehall friends that many witnesses will be ready to unburden themselves
finally to take revenge. In session after session they have appeared to do that. Blair's reputation has been sliced like
salami day after day.
Sir William Ehrman, the Foreign Office's former director of international security, volunteered last Wednesday that the
threat from Saddam's supposed weapons of mass destruction was known to be limited.
In the gentlest way he drove in the dagger. "We did, I think on 10 March [2003], get a report that chemical weapons
might have remained disassembled and Saddam hadn't yet ordered their assembly. There was a suggestion that Iraq
might lack warheads capable of effective dispersal of agents."
Ever the diplomat, however, Ehrman went on to say that the intelligence warnings had not made any difference to the
case for war. "I don't think it invalidated the point about the programmes he had. It was more about use," he said. But
he had set the tone.
On Thursday, Sir Christopher Meyer, UK ambassador in Washington from 1997 to 2003, who has already criticised the
government over Iraq in his memoirs, went for Blair, mercilessly comparing his qualities as a war leader to those of
Margaret Thatcher. "I'm not trying to make a party political point here whatsoever, but quite often I think about this:
what would Margaret Thatcher have done?" Meyer asked. "I think she would have insisted on a coherent political and
diplomatic strategy and she would have demanded the greatest clarity about what the heck happened if, and when, you
removed Saddam Hussein."
A former press secretary to John Major who can speak like a mandarin but, equally, can talk like a layman, he said Blair
had failed miserably to extract a price from George Bush for his loyalty. "We could have achieved more by playing a
tougher role... if, for example... Tony Blair had said: 'I want to help you, George, on this, but I have to say, in all honesty,
that I will not be able to take part in any military operation unless we have palpable progress on the [Middle East] peace
process and we have absolute clarity on what happens in Iraq if it comes up.' I think that would have changed the nature
it would not have led to a rupture it would have changed the nature of American planning. "
Even when defending UK policy, he was on the offensive. Asked if policy had been adapted to stay in line with
Washington's, Meyer added: "I wouldn't say it was as extremely poodle-ish as that." .
On Friday, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Britain's former ambassador to the United Nations, told Chilcot he had threatened to
resign in 2002 if at least one security council resolution was not passed. He added: "I regard our participation in the
military action in Iraq in March 2003 as legal but of questionable legitimacy, in that it did not have the democratically
observable backing of the great majority of [UN] member states, or even perhaps of the majority of people inside the
UK."
Today new arguments are raging over whether the inquiry will have access to, and publish, the most sensitive
documents including legal advice given to the government by the former attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, during the
lead-up to war. Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, has written to Gordon Brown saying that, unless all such
material is published, the inquiry will be a sham and the public's sense that it has been denied the facts will remain.
But it will still be essential viewing nonetheless. This week will see more key witnesses. The most revealing testimony
could come tomorrow when Sir David Manning, Blair's former foreign policy
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/foreignpolicy> adviser, is certain to be asked about his authorship of a memo
which purportedly revealed details of a secret meeting between Bush and Blair in January 2003. According to reports,
the five pages of secret documents, known as the Manning memo, recorded the White House meeting on 31 January
which allegedly shows that Bush and Blair made a deal to carry out an invasion regardless of whether weapons of mass
destruction were discovered by UN weapons inspectors. It appears to be in direct contradiction with statements that
Blair made to parliament afterwards that Saddam would be given a final chance to disarm.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760500 Date: 06/30/2015
The memo also disclosed that Bush floated the idea of painting a U-2 spyplane in UN colours and letting it fly low over
Iraq to provoke Saddam into ordering it to be shot down, providing a pretext for the subsequent invasion by America
and Britain.
Manning, educated at Oriel College, Oxford, and a career diplomat, is fiercely independent. He may choose to say more
than Blair would like, according to one former colleague. He could also be asked to either confirm or deny Meyer's
evidence that Meyer received "new instructions" in early 2005 indicating that it was a "complete waste of time" to
oppose regime change, so strong was the US determination to go down that road.
On Tuesday, Edward Chaplin, the Foreign Office Middle East director at the time of the invasion, and Sir Peter Ricketts,
the top official in the Foreign Office, will appear. Ricketts, a former chairman of Britain's powerful joint intelligence
committee, has already given evidence to the inquiry alleging that officials in London knew even before Bush came to
office in 2001 that there were "voices" in Washington calling for Saddam to be removed from power. Ricketts also told
the inquiry that, until March 2002, Whitehall distanced itself from regime change. Only one month later, Blair told Bush
that he would support military action "to bring about regime change".
According to documents leaked five years ago, Ricketts described the US in 2002 as "scrambling to establish a link
between Iraq and al-Qaida" a connection that was "so far, frankly unconvincing". On Thursday, Sir Kevin Tebbit, the
Ministry of Defence's permanent secretary during the invasion, will be asked to give evidence about the military
planning. Chilcot will, most likely, want to know when the government first began to amass resources for the war and
what, if any, preparations were made for the aftermath of an invasion. Tebbit could also be urged to divulge the level of
intelligence he received on the likelihood of an attack with chemical or biological weapons.
After Tebbit, a succession of heavy-hitting military men will give evidence. The former chief of the defence staff, Admiral
the Lord Boyce, could be asked whether he believes that the invasion was legal. On Friday, Lieutenant General Sir
Anthony Pigott, former deputy chief of the defence staff. and Major General David Wilson, senior British military adviser
to the US military's central command between 2002 and 2003, will be questioned about military planning for the
conflict.
The last witness to appear this week will be Dominic Asquith, Britain's ambassador to Iraq between 2006 and 2007, who
will come armed with knowledge of the view from Baghdad.
When Chilcot has made his way through the officials, he will turn in the new year to former ministers, including Jack
Straw, the former foreign secretary, and Blair himself. The panel has said that it will also begin to examine the highly
controversial issue of whether the invasion was legal which may turn out to be the focal point of the whole inquiry in
January.
In his final report, which is not expected until late 2010 at the earliest, Chilcot has said he will not seek to attribute
blame. But after only one week it is already clear where much of Whitehall believes that lies.

Afghanistan: The speech you'll miss
By Jim Hoagland
Sunday, November 29, 2009
Dec. 1, 2009:
My fellow Americans,
This is not the speech you expected to hear. But my wordsmiths are tied in knots writing an acceptance speech for the
only Nobel Peace Prize ever awarded for making speeches. So I am going to tell you how I really feel about Afghanistan.
Which is: steamed.
I want to accomplish three goals tonight without naming them.
First, to let those know-it-ails, Generals Petraeus and McChrystal, know one more thing: This is the last big troop
increase you get, so make it work.
I am not going down the incrementalist road that wrecked Lyndon Johnson's presidency. This is not July 1965, when
Westmoreland jumped the shark of escalation in Vietnam and then never stopped asking for more troops. For all the
trouble he has been, Dick Holbrooke helped by recalling that history in the shadowboxing that dominated my long war
council meetings.
Joe Biden has been good in there, too. He's been willing, though not happy, to be characterized in the media as being
ready to bug out now. This helped us push back against IV1cChrystal's effort to box me in at 40,000 additional U.S.
soldiers.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760500 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760500 Date: 06/30/2015
Denis McDonough, my strategic communications man, sold Biden-as-dove brilliantly. Wasn't somebody just saying I
should promote Denis? Maybe it was Denis?
Never mind. That tactic won me room to maneuver toward a more realistic number of, say, 23,000 new combat troops,
5,000 additional trainers and a "NATO surge" of 5,000 foreign troops.
That's my second unspoken goal: to come out of this buildup speech without losing the left of the Democratic Party -while being able to refute John ;McCain's charges that I ignored my own generals. Triangulation lives.
Bush put the generals in the limelight to sell the Iraq surge after he lost all credibility, and David Petraeus's performance
was dazzling. Which presents two big problems. Petraeus is the only person who could get the Republican nomination in
2012 and make a serious run against me. (I get paid to think ahead.) And if the generals box me in, civilian control of the
military in this country becomes a mockery. Clinton was afraid of the military; Bush was deep in hock to it. I've got to get
the right balance back.
That's why I need Bob Gates and Jim Jones. Those who scoffed at my keeping on Bush's defense secretary, and then
making a retired Marine four-star! hardly knew my NSC guy, were not thinking that moments like this would come. I
already was.
Gates has maneuvered flawlessly through my waterboarding-by-leaks on Afghanistan. He will sell my final number to the
uniform S as the "floor" for U.S. troops that Petraeus argues we need for three years. But Gates knows I will make it a
ceiling.
We can't afford an open-ended commitment. I put Peter Orszag, as good a budget overseer as you can find, front and
center for the photographers in that last war council. Many missed it, but NBC's Andrea Mitchell got it right away. No
wonder she's married to Alan Greenspan.
I will bet that Stan McChrystal never drew up a budget in his life.
Jones tells me these Special Operations commanders are used to getting whatever they ask for, especially since
September 11th. Nobody on the Hill will deny them anything.
Jones is also squeezing the Europeans to join the battle and is getting results, even from the Germans. What is it Jones
says? Maybe the worst thing of all would be to be perceived to lose in Afghanistan and then have the Europeans say:
Well, you never asked for more help at the crucial time. Makes sense to me.
We have sent NATO members the numbers we think they can and should provide, country by country. That new
secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, is pulling out the stops, visiting the capitals to get commitments.
"Say it now, pay it later," we tell the Europeans. They have until mid-2010 to deploy their new units. But I need pledges
now so I can get across tonight that this is NATO's war, not Obama's war. That's unspoken-goal number three.
So I have frontloaded the speech with allusions to this being about an exit strategy, without boxing myself in on timing,
and am presenting the "civilian surge" as being as essential as the troop buildup. That helps set up my Oslo speech. And
who knows? It may even work out that way. If God blesses us all.

Re: Backdrop to your coming week
Below is a piece published today in The Observer, the Sunday newspaper of The Guardian, on the Chilcot inquiry,
summarizing the testimony so far and what is expected this week while you are drumming up support for the
Afghanistan initiative. Britain and Europe are riveted by Chilcot, especially official circles. The objective correlative, of
course, is trust in any U.S. administration and deep skepticism about the Afghanistan project. Yet another undercurrent
among the mandarins is disdainful resentment of indifference to Britain, a sentiment beyond Labour or the Tories but
what has emerged as the view of the permanent establishment at Whitehall and elsewhere.
Mandelson Watch: After Miliband declined to reach for the EU foreign secretaryship (though Sarkozy wanted him to
take it and Brown was not averse, even favorable), Mandelson personally campaigned on his own for it among the
Europeans. Mandelson was eager to Miliband to take the EU post, allowing Mandelson to be appointed foreign
minister. When Miliband refused, Mandelson's ambition was thwarted, and tried to seize the EU position for himself,
but without any backing in Europe or from Gordon. The Europeans thought him mad. Suddenly, they recalled his bad or
strange behavior as UK commissioner to the EU. When Christine Ashton was named, Mandelson briefed the press on her
lack of credentials, etc. Ashton, as it happens, had worked the press to try to help Mandelson when he had gotten into
the mess that led to his first resignation. Those inside the government who remember this see it as an illustration of the
principle that no good deed goes unpunished. Mandelson, in a snit, is now not speaking to Gordon as though his
rejection were Gordon's fault.

Chilcot Inquiry: Mandarins take revenge on Tony Blair over Iraq Civil servants and diplomats are lining up to stick a knife
into former PM's reputation
*
Toby Helm <http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/tobyhelm > and Rajeev Syal
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/rajeev-syal>
The Observer <http://observer.guardian.co.uk >, Sunday 29 November 2009
*

Whitehall mandarins are supreme masters of subtle evasion. But they do not rise to the top of their trade without
also knowing how to stick in the knife.
At times the Chilcot inquiry into Britain's involvement in Iraq since 2001, which opened last week, resembled a
gentlemen's club moved to the sanitised surroundings of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster.
Oxbridge-educated pillars of the establishment politely questioned other Oxbridge-educated pillars of the establishment
about who said what to whom in which memo. The inquiry is a peculiar mixture of the old and the new, the open and
closed. It is conducted in the language of Whitehall, yet beamed live by webcam to the world.
Critics are convinced that, for all Sir John Chilcot's promises to the contrary, it will turn out to be another Whitehall
whitewash. For the cognoscenti, little new information has yet emerged, and when the final report is written it will not
seek to apportion blame. Yet beneath the equivocation and mandarin-speak, Whitehall seems, in as much as it knows
how, to be using Chilcot to wield the scalpel. Throughout the first week the pent-up frustrations of diplomats and career
civil servants over the way Tony Blair <http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/tonyblair > and George Bush secretly plotted
to oust Saddam Hussein, bypassing the "official channels" in which they operate, has been there for all to see.
Chilcot is said to have been warned by his Whitehall friends that many witnesses will be ready to unburden themselves
finally to take revenge. In session after session they have appeared to do that. Blair's reputation has been sliced like
salami day after day.
Sir William Ehrman, the Foreign Office's former director of international security, volunteered last Wednesday that the
threat from Saddam's, supposed weapons of mass destruction was known to be limited.
In the gentlest way he drove in the dagger. "We did, I think on 10 March [2003], get a report that chemical weapons
might have remained disassembled and Saddam hadn't yet ordered their assembly. There was a suggestion that Iraq
might lack warheads capable of effective dispersal of agents."
Ever the diplomat, however, Ehrman went on to say that the intelligence warnings had not made any difference to the
case for war. "I don't think it invalidated the point about the programmes he had. It was more about use," he said. But
he had set the tone.
On Thursday, Sir Christopher Meyer, UK ambassador in Washington from 1997 to 2003, who has already criticised the
government over Iraq in his memoirs, went for Blair, mercilessly comparing his qualities as a war leader to those of
Margaret Thatcher. "I'm not trying to make a party political point here whatsoever, but quite often I. think about this:

diplomatic strategy and she would have demanded the greatest clarity about what the heck happened if, and when, you
removed Saddam Hussein."

had failed miserably to extract a price from George Bush for his loyalty. "We could have achieved more by playing a
tougher role... if, for example... Tony Blair had said: 'I want to help you, George, on this, but I have to say, in all honesty,
that I will not be able to take part in any military operation unless we have palpable progress on the [Middle East] peace
process and we have absolute clarity on what happens in Iraq if it comes up.' I think that would have changed the nature
it would not have led to a rupture it would have changed the nature of American planning."
Even when defending UK policy, he was on the offensive. Asked if policy had been adapted to stay in line with
Washington's, Meyer added: "I wouldn't say it was as extremely poodle-ish as that."

On the eve of the president's announcement on Afghanistan the Western alliance is near-broken. The obvious:
Your trip to NATO will be the final call on Afghanistan. Whatever you scrap together there will be the remains of the day.
There will be no more. The spare change in troops you pick up will be the close-out deal. The Europeans will be less
amenable to contributions in the future than the House Democratic Caucus.
3.
Consensus across the board in Britaincenter, right, leftis that the Atlantic alliancethe special relationship
the historic bond since World War IIis shattered. There is no dissenting voice, not one, and there are no illusions.
Opinion is unanimous. The bottom line is that the Obama administration's denigration of the UK is seen as the
summation of the Bush era. Undoubtedly, you saw this week Minister of Defense Bob Ainsworth's public criticism of
Obama's indecision and his accusation that the president is indifferent and damaging to British interest. While Downing
Street sought to ameliorate his remarks with an oleaginous statement his view is simply What everyoneeveryonethinks. His clumsy outburst was a classic gaffean embarrassing mistake because it reveals something true. The Chilcot
inquiry of Parliament, publicly conducting hearings on the origins of UK involvement in the Iraq invasion, has put Bush's
war on terrorand British involvementon trialand the calmly conducted but eviscerating hearings will go on for
another year. Blair is seen as either complicit on the basis of knowing there was no casus belli or as an enthusiastically
deceived tool. Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, has stated that the reason support for the Afghanistan
mission has cratered is because of the lies told in the run-up to the Iraq waranother view universally held. Meanwhile,
former UK ambassador to the US Christopher Meyer has published his new book on the history of UK diplomacy with
concluding sections on the demise of the special relationship. He is not only being interviewed on all British media but

also has appeared as a voluble witness before the Chilcot commission. (I've included a report below.) All British
newspapers and journals have prominently published many pieces within the last week on the decline and fall of the USUK relationship. (I've included below the lead editorial today from the London Times and the cover story from the
Spectatortwo of the most resolutely pro-American sources.) The tone is not resentful, but reserved, disdainful and
superior. The US administration is considered blinkered, parochial and counter-productive. Conservatives are more
contemptuous than Labour, which feels abandoned and somewhat baffled. Rather than eager to be Obama's poodle,
Cameron would be superficially friendly and privately scornful. Class has a lot to do with the contempt. A Cameron
government would be more aristocratic and even narrowly Etonian than any Conservative government in recent history,
sharply contrasting especially with the striving and classless perspective of the grocer's daughter, Margaret Thatcher.
And yet, and yet, the most recent poll this week showed Labour within striking distance of the Tories, about five points
down, the result of a slight economic uptick. A hung parliament seems very possible. Given the distribution of voting
patterns, Labour need not win a plurality to have more seats than the Tories. The slight buoyancy for Labour in this
unique situation has only heightened anxiety about Obama's Afghanistan process, which has excluded the British
government from significant consultation and consideration of its interests. (See the lead to Con Coughlin's Spectator
piece.) Therefore, you might contemplate a brief trip to London and public appearance with Brown on your way back
from Brussels.

On the Western alliance, beyond its military part, NATO, there is much more to say and develop, but later. Read

certainly voiced the same ideals; but he has invested little in giving new substance and dynamism to the transatlantic
relationship.
On Afghanistan, Mr Brown has sometimes been left speechless by Washington. He talks of sending 500 extra troops. But
until he knows the likely US strategy, he cannot outline his own. Atlanticism is always fragile on the Left and was
stretched to breaking point by Tony Blair. It is now being undermined by indifference in Washington. Today America is

A special form of disrespect

Wednesday, 18th November 2009
Barack Obama's increasing disregard for Britain's views is no way to treat an ally whose troops have fought side by
side with America since September 11, says Con Coughlin
Washington
It says much about Britain's rapidly disappearing 'special relationship' with America that when I happened to
mention to some of our senior military officers that I was visiting Washington, they begged me to find out what the
Obama administration was thinking about Afghanistan. It is not just that the transatlantic lines of communication, so
strong just a few years ago, have fallen into disuse. There is now a feeling that, even if we reached the Oval Office, there
would be no one willing to take Britain's call.
For weeks now, President Obama has been deliberating over what the Afghan strategy should be and how many
troops to send. If there is confusion in Washington, then Britain's strategy is not much clearer. Gordon Brown has staged
a recent flurry of activity on the subject, from writing misspelt letters to grieving mothers to demanding that an exit
strategy be established for the withdrawal of British forces. Yet among our top brass, the general perception is that the
Prime Minister has little interest in the war.
It is often as if Brown regards the Afghan campaign as a dead fish that Tony Blair has left in the top drawer of his
Downing Street desk. It has infected his premiership with a foul odour, and he wants to be rid of it as soon as possible.
This explains his promise, on Monday, to set a timetable for the withdrawal of British troops at the earliest available
opportunity. The signal is sent that an exit is not just in sight, but being approached.
Brown's approach hardly squares with his Foreign Secretary's assertion, made the next day in his address to Nato's
Parliamentary Assembly, that British forces should remain until the Afghans are strong enough to take care of their own
affairs. Miliband might have his faults, such as his obsessive enthusiasm for Europe. But he is sound on Afghanistan
where unlike the prime minister he has been an articulate and well-informed advocate of the Nato cause. One has
the feeling that, if Mr Obama were able to talk about Afghanistan, Mr Miliband could have a decent conversation with
him.
But the very fact that these policy divisions are now starting to appear in London is symptomatic of a far deeper
malaise that lies at the heart of Afghan policy-making; it is a malaise that now threatens to jeopardise the success of the
entire mission. And this malaise is the absence of meaningful dialogue between the White House and its hitherto most
stalwart and reliable ally, particularly when it comes to the messy business of confronting Islamist militants through
force of arms.
We all had a good giggle when Brown was reduced to chasing the Leader of the Free World through the
subterranean kitchen complex at the UN's New York headquarters in September. One can understand why Obama can
think of a million better ways to spend his time than talking to our obsessive, nail-chewing and electorally doomed
prime minister. But given that Britain and America are currently fighting a war together; one would hope that the true
statesman would overcome any personal reservations and deal with Mr Brown because of the country he represents.
What really troubles British policymakers is that the collapse in the relationship is institutional, not personal, and
that the president has little interest in listening to what Britain has to say on many world issues, even at a time when
British servicemen and women are sacrificing their lives in what is supposed to be a common cause.
The astonishing disregard with which Mr Obama treats Britain has been made clear by his deliberations over the
Afghan issue. As he decides how many more troops to send to Afghanistan a decision which will fundamentally affect
the scope of the mission Britain is reduced to guesswork. The White House does not even pretend to portray this as a
joint decision. It is a diplomatic cold-shouldering that stands in contrast not just to the BlairBush era, but to the
togetherness of the soldiers on the ground.

One of the enduring cornerstones of the transatlantic alliance is the deep bond that exists between the British and
American armed forces. The strength of the American military might be many times that available to Britain but, as any
senior officer will tell you, on either side of the Atlantic, they are so close as to be joined at the hip. From the moment
they sign up, young American and British officers train together, socialise together and since 9/11 have fought and
died together.
The relaxed familiarity between the two martial traditions was reflected in the warmth with which General Stanley
McChrystal, the American commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan, referred during his recent visit to London to British
contemporaries such as `Jatko', General Sir Michael Jackson, former head of the British army, and lamby', Lt-Gen Sir
Graeme Lamb, who is currently spending his well-earned retirement in Kabul helping to devise a new counterinsurgency strategy to defeat the Taleban. So far as Afghanistan is concerned, it would be fair to say that American and
British military commanders are singing from the same Afghan prayer mat.
Indeed, there was no shortage of enthusiasm on the part of the British military, or any of the other Whitehall
departments involved in the Afghan campaign, to support Obama when he announced last March a new counterinsurgency strategy based on an Iraq-like military 'surge'. McChrystal was personally appointed by Obama to make the
policy a success, and General Sir David Richards, himself a former commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan, was one of
a number of senior army officers who quickly got behind the new initiative. So, too, did the redoubtable Sir Sherard
Cowper-Coles, our former ambassador to Kabul, who drafted numerous briefing documents making the case for greater
co-operation and cohesion within Whitehall, and the development of a comprehensive counter-terrorism strategy that
encompassed all the participants, and not just the military.
So where are they now, all these bright initiatives? Why is it that the Foreign . Office and our senior military
commanders are as much in the dark as anyone else as to what the strategy for Afghanistan is to be? We don't know,
because Mr Obama is too busy cosying up to his new churns in Moscow and Beijing to tell us. And as we stumble around
in the policy darkness, there is the inevitable tendency to make it up as we go along. Hence the conflicting policy edicts
issued this week by Messrs Brown and Miliband.
The trouble started in the summer, when Obama appears to have had a change of heart and, rather than
proceeding with the Afghan strategy he announced in March, decided to undertake a review of it instead. And in the
process of so doing he has provided us with a telling insight into how we can expect the Obama presidency to function in
future.
Much of the criticism, at home and abroad, concerning the Afghan policy review has tended to focus on
accusations of White House dithering which, after nearly three and a half months, is not entirely without foundation.
But what should be far more worrying for all those countries, such as Britain, that had looked forward to co-operating
with Obama's apparent desire to reach out and engage with America's allies is the exclusivity of his style of decisionmaking if you can call it that.
As General McChrystal has found to his cost, Obama and his inner circle of Chicago pols do not take kindly to being
second-guessed by those whose advice they seek, but have every right to reject. There is no reason to doubt
McChrystal's gloomy prediction which is generally endorsed by Whitehall that without an extra 40,000 Nato troops
the Afghan mission is doomed to failure. But talk to any Obama aide these days and they will tell you that, fine soldier
though he undoubtedly is, McChrystal is politically naive, spoke out of turn and now thoroughly regrets the day he ever
set foot in a London think tank, where he stated his case too explicitly for the White House's liking. One recent two-hour
Afghan strategy meeting spent 24 minutes discussing whether McChrystal was the right man for the job after all. In
other words, to use the phrase- logy popular in Chicago, he's dead meat.
Obama, meanwhile, has made his own deliberations so secretive that only about three people in the whole of
Washington and, ergo, the rest of the world know precisely what he has in mind, and none of them is talking. Even
President George \N. Bush, who was frequently criticised for his arrogance and unilateralism, was better than this. From
9/11 until the Iraq war, he kept Tony Blair and other trusted allies (there weren't that many, let's face it) fully briefed on
what he was planning so much so that Blair is now accused of colluding with him to invade Iraq from the spring of
2002.
But with Obama there are no regular video-conferences bringing Downing Street up to date on the latest White
House thinking. No special envoys making secret visits to London to keep the key players informed. Instead we will have
to wait, like everyone else, for the puffs of smoke from the White House which are now expected around the
Thanksgiving holiday to find out what Obama really intends to do about Afghanistan. He is, in all too many ways, an
AWOL ally.

Nor is it just on Afghanistan that we can discern a high-handed approach from the American president. Did Obama
bother to consult Britain before cancelling the missile shield system for Eastern Europe (the early-warning detection
system is, after all, based at RAF Fylingdales on the North Yorkshire Moors)? No he did not. The Poles, who are rightly
sensitive about their security being used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with their super-power neighbours, had to
make do with a late-night call from Hillary Clinton on the eve of the announcement the Poles understandably turned
down the call, a breach of both manners and protocol. In his keenness to befriend Russian President Dmitry Medvedev,
had Obama taken any account of the widespread European unease concerning the mood of resurgent nationalism
sweeping Moscow? Not a chance.
And to judge from his recent peregrinations around the Far East, it seems Obama is far more interested in making
new friends than taking the trouble to keep up with old acquaintances. The enthusiasm he displayed when he bumped
into Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's Prime Minister, during this week's Apec summit in Singapore was considerably greater
than he has shown for many of his European allies. Not for Medvedev the indignity of conducting important bilateral
discussions in kitchens surrounded by vats of boiling noodles. And in Beijing Obama spent a convivial evening with
President Hu Jintao, discussing the evolution and histories of China and America. Being an American ally has never
seemed so unrewarding.
There will, though, inevitably come a time when Obama discovers who America's true friends really are. Sooner or
later he will have to deal with the considerably more taxing issues of Islamist militancy, rogue nuclear states and other
tangible threats to the West's security. At that point, Obama will discover a simple but essential truth. The world divides
between those who support American values of freedom and democracy, and those who seek to destroy them.
Few nations have been more committed to supporting those values with both blood and treasure than Britain. This
country, and especially those British troops fighting alongside their American counterparts, deserve far better than this
president's disregard.

Iraq war build-up 'left us scrabbling for smoking gun says ex-UK ambassador
Sir Christopher Meyer says plans to invade Iraq did not give time for weapons inspectors
James Meikle <http://www.guardian.co.uk/profileljamesmeikle> and Andrew Sparrow
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/andrewsparrow>
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015
Earlier Meyer said George Bush's administration was seen by many as "running out of steam" on the eve of the "great
atrocity" of the 9/11 attacks on the US.
It looked like an administration that had run into trouble very quickly, the former ambassador to Washington said.
People were saying the effort of getting big tax cuts and medical prescription benefits for older people through Congress
had "killed" Bush, Meyer said. He added that secretary of state Colin Powell's efforts to narrow and deepen sanctions
against Iraq had failed and there was a "huge bear market" against Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary.
Meyer said attitudes towards Iraq were influenced to an extent not appreciated by him at the time by the anthrax scare
in the US soon after 9/11 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20O1_anthrax_attacks>. US senators and others were sent
anthrax spores in the post, a crime that led to the death of five people, prompting policymakers to claim links to Saddam
Hussein.
Meyer told the third day of Sir John Chilcot's hearings that from the onset of the Bush presidency in 2001, there was
enthusiasm on the Republican right for arming and supporting Iraqi dissidents, "mostly in London", particularly the Iraqi
National Congress led by Ahmad Chalabi.
Powell was sceptical of such "belligerent" moves, concentrating on sanctions with Robin Cook, the then-British foreign
secretary, with whom, Meyer said, "somewhat to my surprise", he got on well.
On 9/11 Condoleezza Rice, then the US national security adviser, told Meyer she was in "no doubt: it was an al-Qaida
operation". The following weekend Bush and his key advisers met at Camp David and contacts later told Meyer there
had been a "big ding-dong" about Iraq and Saddam.
It seemed that Paul Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld's deputy, argued for retaliation to include Iraq, Meyer said. It was not clear
where Rumsfeld stood. But later that month Bush and Tony Blair, on a visit to Washington, were agreed on a "laser-like
focus" on al-Qaida and Pakistan.
Blair's reputation had soared "above all others" because of his support for the US, the former ambassador told the
inquiry.
But the anthrax scare had "steamed up" policy makers in Bush's administration and helped swing attitudes against
Saddam, who the administration believed had been the last person to use anthrax.
Rice fell more and more "in the camp of Powell's enemies". There was a "sea change" in attitudes to containment but
the UK still had "a legal problem" with regime change. Meyer told British officials to argue that the alliance would be in
better shape if there was international support for military action. There was no need to argue that with the state
department. But there was with Dick Cheney, the vice-president, and Rumsfeld.
Asked about Blair's meeting with Bush at Crawford, Texas, in April 2002, where, some observers believe, the decision to
go to war was made, Meyer said: "To this day I'm not entirely clear what degree of convergence was signed in blood at
the Texas range."
But a speech by Blair the following day was, he believed, the first time the prime minister had publicaly said "regime
change". "What he was trying to do was to draw the lessons of 9/11 and apply them to the situation in Iraq, which led !
think not inadvertently but deliberately to a conflation of the threat posed by Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
"When I heard that speech, I thought that this represents a tightening of the UK/US alliance and a degree of
convergence on the danger Saddam Hussein presented."

Per the plan, a statement is being released in your name. This is the same statement you saw in the memo package
from Mitchell:
Today's announcement by the Government of Israel helps move forward toward resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
We believe that through good-faith negotiations the parties can mutually agree on an outcome which ends the conflict
and reconciles the Palestinian goal of an independent and viable state based on the 1967 lines, with agreed swaps, and
the Israeli goal of a Jewish state with secure and recognized borders that reflect subsequent developments and meet
Israeli security requirements. Let me say to all the people of the region and world: our commitment to achieving a
solution with two states living side by side in peace and security is unwavering.

Below is a memo from a concerned observer about the British feeling alienated from us.
/Let me know what you each think. Thx.
Consensus across the board in Britaincenter, right, leftis that the Atlantic alliancethe special relationshipthe
historic bond since World War IIis shattered. There is no dissenting voice, not one, and there are no illusions. Opinion
is unanimous. The bottom line is that the Obama administration's denigration of the UK is seen as the summation of the
Bush era.
Undoubtedly, you saw this week Minister of Defense Bob Ainsworth's public criticism of Obama's indecision and his
accusation that the president is indifferent and damaging to British interest. While Downing Street sought to ameliorate
his remarks with an oleaginous statement his view is simply what everyoneeveryonethinks. His clumsy outburst was
a classic gaffean embarrassing mistake because it reveals something true.
The Chilcot inquiry of Parliament, publicly conducting hearings on the origins of UK involvement in the Iraq invasion,
has put Bush's war on terrorand British involvementon trialand the calmly conducted but eviscerating hearings
will go on for another year. Blair is seen as either complicit on the basis of knowing there was no casus belli or as an
enthusiastically deceived tool. Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats, has stated that the reason support for the
Afghanistan mission has cratered is because of the lies told in the run-up to the Iraq waranother view universally held.
Meanwhile, former UK ambassador to the US Christopher Meyer has published his new book on the history of UK
diplomacy with concluding sections on the demise of the special relationship. He is not only being interviewed on all
British media but also has appeared as a voluble witness before the Chi!cot commission. All British newspapers and
journals have prominently published many pieces within the last week on the decline and fall of the US-UK relationship.
Please see the lead editorial today from the London Times and the cover story from the Spectatortwo of the most
resolutely pro-American sources. The tone is not resentful, but reserved, disdainful and superior. The US administration
is considered blinkered, parochial and counter-productive.
Conservatives are more contemptuous than Labour, which feels abandoned and somewhat baffled. Rather than eager
to be Obama's poodle, Cameron would be superficially friendly and privately scornful. Class has a lot to do with the
contempt. A Cameron government would be more aristocratic and even narrowly Etonian than any Conservative
government in recent history, sharply contrasting especially with the striving and classless perspective of the grocer's
daughter, Margaret Thatcher.
And yet, the most recent poll this week showed Labour within striking distance of the Tories, about five points down,
the result of a slight economic uptick. A hung parliament seems very possible. Given the distribution of voting patterns,
Labour need not win a plurality to have more seats than the Tories.

The slight buoyancy for Labour in this unique situation has only heightened anxiety about Obama's Afghanistan
process, which has excluded the British government from significant consultation and consideration of its interests. See
the lead to Con Coughlin's Spectator piece.
Therefore, the President might contemplate a brief stop in London going to or coming from Oslo or a meeting in
Copenhage to make a public appearance with Brown. And, others in the Administration should pay special attention to
Brown to secure strong support from him, and more importantly, the whole government and British establishment
should be reassured that we do value their stalwart support despite the ups and downs of the last eight years.
Pasted below is the Times editorial and the link to the Spectator article.
From The Times
November 26, 2009
Atlantic drift
Washington's delay in announcing its Afghanistan strategy has left Brown drifting. Obama needs to invest more time and
attention in the transatlantic alliance President Obama declared on Tuesday that "the whole world" had a responsibility
to help the US-led mission in Afghanistan. He would, he said; soon lay out the "obligations of our international partners".
Those partners have been waiting a long time for the details. On Monday the President had his tenth meeting with his
advisers to work out his strategy for Afghanistan. He has now spent almost three months considering his options, and
has promised an announcement on deployments after the Thanksgiving holiday.
For Gordon Brown, this cannot come too soon. After the United States, Britain is the largest contributor of troops to the
Nato operation in Afghanistan. There has never been any suggestion that Britain has enough soldiers to pursue a
separate strategy or that it can operate independently of the US forces, which already number some 68,000 troops.
Until the White House decides whether to send an extra 40,000 or some figure significantly lower than the number
requested by General Stanley McChrystal, Mr Brown cannot properly plan the best support strategy.
It is becoming sadly apparent that Britain has been left drifting by the delays in Washington, and that the Obama
Administration is largely unaware of the embarrassment this is causing the Government. More worryingly, this does not
seem to be a source of concern within the Administration. Downing Street, diplomatically, turns aside any suggestion
that it is frustrated by the nonchalance with which it is being treated. But the insistent questions on Afghanistan, the
anger caused by the steady stream of returning war dead and the rapid crumbling of public support for the war cannot
be answered effectively until Mr Brown is taken into American confidence and seen as a full partner in the Nato
campaign.
On the surface, the continuing high regard in Britain for the dynamic and articulate new President has masked these
growling complaints. Mr Brown is not suffering, as his predecessor did, from the taint of close association with a deeply
unpopular US president. On the contrary: like several European leaders, he is still eager to position himself as close as
possible to Mr Obama to clothe himself in some of the President's European popularity. But within Government, there is
already worry that Britain's voice counts far less than it did in the past. This is not simply another instance of the
persistent but pointless British anxiety over the so-called special relationship; it is a justified concern that two of the
main pillars of the Nato alliance should have policies and strategies that are closely co-ordinated and sympathetically
understood on both sides when fighting a war.
The fault, glaringly, is on the American side. The White House no longer seems to be monitoring the reactions and
political options of its transatlantic allies. It is not sufficient to suggest that the Administration sees little point in
investing time and diplomacy in a British government likely to be defeated in the coming general election; wartime allies
have interests that go far beyond the political make-up of the government of the day. Mr Obama promised during his
election campaign to revive trust in American leadership and to re-engage in multinational diplomacy. In office, he has
certainly voiced the same ideals; but he has invested little in giving new substance and dynamism to the transatlantic
relationship.
On Afghanistan, Mr Brown has sometimes been left speechless by Washington. He talks of sending 500 extra troops. But
until he knows the likely US strategy, he cannot outline his own. Atlanticism is always fragile on the Left and was
stretched to breaking point by Tony Blair. It is now being undermined by indifference in Washington. Today America is
enjoying Thanksgiving. Tomorrow it must look out again to its all

Afghanistan initiative. Britain and Europe are riveted by Chilcot, especially official circles. The objective correlative, of
course, is trust in any U.S. administration and deep skepticism about the Afghanistan project. Yet another undercurrent
among the mandarins is disdainful resentment of indifference to Britain, a sentiment beyond Labour or the Tories but
what has emerged as the view of the permanent establishment at Whitehall and elsewhere.
Mandelson Watch: After Miliband declined to reach for the EU foreign secretaryship (though Sarkozy wanted him to
take it and Brown was not averse, even favorable), Mandelson personally campaigned on his own for it among the
Europeans. Mandelson was eager to Miliband to take the EU post, allowing Mandelson to be appointed foreign
minister. When Miliband refused, MandeIson's ambition was thwarted, and tried to seize the EU position for himself,
but without any backing in Europe or from Gordon. The Europeans thought him mad: Suddenly, they recalled his bad or
strange behavior as UK commissioner to the EU. When Christine Ashton was named, Mandelson briefed the press on her
lack of credentials, etc. Ashton, as it happens, had worked the press to try to help Mandelson when he had gotten into
the mess that led to his first resignation. Those inside the government who remember this see it as an illustration of the
principle that no good deed goes unpunished. Mandelson, in a snit, is now not speaking to Gordon as though his
rejection were Gordon's fault.

Chilcot Inquiry: Mandarins take revenge on Tony Blair over Iraq Civil servants and diplomats are lining up to stick a knife
into former PM's reputation
*

<http://www.gua rdia n.co. uk/profile/rajeev-sya I>

The Observer <http://observer.guardian.co.uk >, Sunday 29 November 2009
*
Whitehall mandarins are supreme masters of subtle evasion. But they do not rise to the top of their trade without
also knowing how to stick in the knife.
At times the Chilcot inquiry into Britain's involvement in Iraq since 2001, which opened last week, resembled a
gentlemen's club moved to the sanitised surroundings of the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster.
Oxbridge-educated pillars of the establishment politely questioned other Oxbridge-educated pillars of the establishment
about who said what to whom in which memo. The inquiry is a peculiar mixture of the old and the new, the open and
closed. It is conducted in the language of Whitehall, yet beamed live by webcam to the world.
Critics are convinced that, for all Sir John Chilcot's promises to the contrary, it will turn out to be another Whitehall
whitewash. For the cognoscenti, little new information has yet emerged, and when the final report is written it will not
seek to apportion blame. Yet beneath the equivocation and mandarin-speak, Whitehall seems, in as much as it knows
how, to be using Chilcot to wield the scalpel. Throughout the first week the pent-up frustrations of diplomats and career
civil servants over the way Tony Blair <http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/tonyblair> and George Bush secretly plotted
to oust Saddam Hussein, bypassing the "official channels" in which they operate, has been there for all to see.
Chilcot is said to have been warned by his Whitehall friends that many witnesses will be ready to unburden themselves
finally to take revenge. In session after session they have appeared to do that. Blair's reputation has been sliced like
salami day after day.
Sir William Ehrman, the Foreign Office's former director of international security, volunteered last Wednesday that the
threat from Saddam's supposed weapons of mass destruction was known to be limited.
In the gentlest way he drove in the dagger. "We did, I think on 10 March [2003], get a report that chemical weapons
might have remained disassembled and Saddam hadn't yet ordered their assembly. There was a suggestion that Iraq
might lack warheads capable of effective dispersal of agents."
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760499 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760499 Date: 06/30/2015
Ever the diplomat, however, Ehrman went on to say that the intelligence warnings had not made any difference to the
case for war. "I don't think it invalidated the point about the programmes he had. It was more about use," he said. But
he had set the tone.
On Thursday, Sir Christopher Meyer, UK ambassador in Washington from 1997 to 2003, who has already criticised the
government over Iraq in his memoirs, went for Blair, mercilessly comparing his qualities as a war leader to those of
Margaret Thatcher. "I'm not trying to make a party political point here whatsoever, but quite often I think about this:
what would Margaret Thatcher have done?" Meyer asked. "I think she would have insisted on a coherent political and
diplomatic strategy and she would have demanded the greatest clarity about what the heck happened if, and when, you
removed Saddam Hussein."
A former press secretary to John Major who can speak like a mandarin but, equally, can talk like a layman, he said Blair
had failed miserably to extract a price from George Bush for his loyalty. "We could have achieved more by playing a
tougher role... if, for example... Tony Blair had said: 'I want to help you, George, on this, but I have to say, in all honesty,
that I will not be able to take part in any military operation unless we have palpable progress on the [Middle East] peace
process and we have absolute clarity on what happens in Iraq if it comes up.' I think that would have changed the nature
it would not have led to a rupture it would have changed the nature of American planning."
Even when defending UK policy, he was on the offensive. Asked if policy had been adapted to stay in line with
Washington's, Meyer added: "I wouldn't.say it was as extremely poodle-ish as that."
On Friday, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Britain's former ambassador to the United Nations, told Chilcot he had threatened to
resign in 2002 if at least one security council resolution was not passed. He added: "I regard our participation in the
military action in Iraq in March 2003 as legal but of questionable legitimacy, in that it did not have the democratically
observable backing of the great majority of [UN] member states, or even perhaps of the majority of people inside the
IJK."
Today new argurnents'are raging over whether the inquiry will have access to, and publish, the most sensitive
documents including legal advice given to the government by the former attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, during the
lead-up to war. Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat leader, has written to Gordon Brown saying that, unless all such
material is published, the inquiry will be a sham and the public's sense that it has been denied the facts will remain.
But it will still be essential viewing nonetheless. This week will see more key witnesses. The most revealing testimony
could come tomorrow when Sir David Manning, Blair's former foreign policy
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/foreignpolicy> adviser, is certain to be asked about his authorship of a memo
which purportedly revealed details of a secret meeting between Bush and Blair in January 2003. According to reports,
the five pages of secret documents, known as the Manning memo, recorded the White House meeting on 31 January
which allegedly shows that Bush and Blair made a deal to carry out an invasion regardless of whether weapons of mass
destruction were discovered by UN weapons inspectors. It appears to be in direct contradiction with statements that
Blair made to parliament afterwards that Saddam would be given a final chance to disarm.
The memo also disclosed that Bush floated the idea of painting a U-2 spyplane in UN colours and letting it fly low over
Iraq to provoke Saddam into ordering it to be shot down, providing a pretext for the subsequent invasion by America
and Britain.
Manning, educated at Oriel College, Oxford, and a career diplomat, is fiercely independent. He may choose to say more
than Blair would like, according to one former colleague. He could also be asked to either confirm or deny Meyer's
evidence that Meyer received "new instructions" in early 2005 indicating that it was a "complete waste of time" to
oppose regime change, so strong was the US determination to go down that road.
On Tuesday, Edward Chaplin, the Foreign Office IVIiddle East director at the time of the invasion, and Sir Peter Ricketts,
the top official in the Foreign Office, will appear. Ricketts, a former chairman of Britain's powerful joint intelligence
committee, has already given evidence to the inquiry alleging that officials in London knew even before Bush came to
office in 2001 that there were "voices" in Washington calling for Saddam to be removed from power. Ricketts also told
the inquiry that, until March 2002, Whitehall distanced itself from regime change. Only one month later, Blair told Bush
that he would support military action "to bring about regime change".
According to documents leaked five years ago, Ricketts described the US in 2002 as "scrambling to establish a link
between Iraq and al-Qaida" a connection that was "so far, frankly unconvincing". On Thursday, Sir Kevin Tebbit, the
Ministry of Defence's permanent secretary during the invasion, will be asked to give evidence about the military
planning. Chilcot will, most likely, want to know when the government first began to amass resources for the war and
what, if any, preparations were made for the aftermath of an invasion. Tebbit could also be urged to divulge the level of
intelligence he received on the likelihood of an attack with chemical or biological weapons.

After Tebbit, a succession of heavy-hitting military men will give evidence. The former chief of the defence staff, Admiral
the Lord Boyce, could be asked whether he believes that the invasion was legal. On Friday, Lieutenant General Sir
Anthony Pigott, former deputy chief of the defence staff, and Major General David Wilson, senior British military adviser
to the US military's central command between 2002 and 2003, will be questioned about military planning for the
conflict.
The last witness to appear this week will be Dominic Asquith, Britain's ambassador to Iraq between 2006 and 2007, who
will come armed with knowledge of the view from Baghdad.
When Chi!cot has made his way through the officials, he will turn in the new year to former ministers, including Jack
Straw, the former foreign secretary, and Blair himself. The panel has said that it will also begin to examine the highly
controversial issue of whether the invasion was legal which may turn out to be the focal point of the whole inquiry in
January.
In his final report, which is not expected until late 2010 at the earliest, Chilcot has said he will not seek to attribute
blame. But after only one week it is already clear where much of Whitehall believes that lies.

Afghanistan: The speech you'll miss
By Jim Hoagiand
Sunday, November 29, 2009
Dec. 1, 2009:
My fellow Americans,
This is not the speech you expected to hear. But my wordsmiths are tied in knots writing an acceptance speech for the
only Nobel Peace Prize ever awarded for making speeches. So I am going to tell you how I really feel about Afghanistan.
Which is: steamed.
I want to accomplish three goals tonight without naming them.
First, to let those know-it-ails, Generals Petraeus and McChrystal, know one more thing: This is the last big troop
increase you get, so make it work.
I am not going down the incrementalist road that wrecked Lyndon Johnson's presidency. This is not July 1965, when
Westmoreland jumped the shark of escalation in Vietnam and then never stopped asking for more troops. For all the
trouble he has been, Dick Holbrooke helped by recalling that history in the shadowboxing that dominated my long war
council meetings.
Joe Biden has been good in there, too. He's been willing, though not happy, to be characterized in the media as being
ready to bug out now. This helped us push back against McChrystal's effort to box me in at 40,000 additional U.S.
soldiers.
Denis McDonough, my strategic communications man, sold Biden-as-dove brilliantly. Wasn't somebody just saying I
should promote Denis? Maybe it was Denis?
Never mind. That tactic won me room to maneuver toward a more realistic number of, say, 23,000 new combat troops,
5,000 additional trainers and a "NATO surge" of 5,000 foreign troops.
That's my second unspoken goal: to come out of this buildup speech without losing the left of the Democratic Party -while being able to refute John McCain's charges that I ignored my own generals. Triangulation lives.
Bush put the generals in the limelight to sell the Iraq surge after he lost all credibility, and David Petraeus's performance
was dazzling. Which presents two big problems. Petraeus is the only person who could get the Republican nomination in
2012 and make a serious run against me. (I get paid to think ahead.) And if the generals box me in, civilian control of the
military in this country becomes a mockery. Clinton was afraid of the military; Bush was deep in hock to it. I've got to get
the right balance back.
That's why I need Bob Gates and Jim Jones. Those who scoffed at my keeping on Bush's defense secretary, and then
making a retired Marine four-star I hardly knew my NSC guy, were not thinking that moments like this would come. I
already was.
Gates has maneuvered flawlessly through my waterboarding-by-leaks on Afghanistan. He will sell my final number to the
uniforms as the "floor" for U.S. troops that Petraeus argues we need for three years. But Gates knows I will make it a
ceiling.
We can't afford an open-ended commitment. I put Peter Orszag, as good a budget overseer as you can find, front and
center for the photographers in that last war council. Many missed it, but NBC's Andrea Mitchell got it right away. No
wonder she's married to Alan Greenspan.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760499 Date: 06/30/2015
I will bet that Stan McChrystal never drew up a budget in his life.
Jones tells me these Special Operations commanders are used to getting whatever they ask for, especially since
September 11th. Nobody on the Hill will deny them anything.
Jones is also squeezing the Europeans to join the battle and is getting results, even from the Germans. What is it Jones
says? Maybe the worst thing of all would be to be perceived to lose in Afghanistan and then have the Europeans say:
Well, you never asked for more help at the crucial time. Makes sense to me.
We have sent NATO members the numbers we think they can and should provide, country by country. That new
secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, is pulling out the stops, visiting the capitals to get commitments.
"Say it now, pay it later," we tell the Europeans. They have until mid-2010 to deploy their new units. But I need pledges
now so I can get across tonight that this is NATO's war, not Obama's war. That's unspoken-goal number three.
So I have frontloaded the speech with allusions to this being about an exit strategy, without boxing myself in on timing,
and am presenting the "civilian surge" as being as essential as the troop buildup. That helps set up my Oslo speech. And
who knows? It may even work out that way. If God blesses us all.

Another perspective
The following is from an observer who I think is right about the need for more strategy time which means we have to
have a better balance about travel time. I'd like your reactions. Thx.
"When it comes to foreign policy, all see you doing a great job. You must be literally killing yourself I can see your
schedule is bruising. But you probably need more strategy time, less events as the ultimate judgment will be on
whether iran, nk get the bomb, progress in Mideast, success in Afghanistan, Iraq. Obama's pause on Afghanistan goes
well with elite media and left that is against all wars, but not with swing male voters who are defecting. And I think it is
making the rest of your job much tougher because the delay in the decision is looking Carterlike to US adversaries any
decision is better than no decision. But all roads likely lead to Iran and perhaps Pakistan, rest is secondary at this point.
That's my view for what it's worth. Take care.

Just a brief update on the Senate health care debate.
The Senate will take its first vote on health care legislation Saturday night now that Leader Reid seems to have secured
the requisite votes to invoke cloture. The vote to invoke cloture will double as a vote on the motion to proceed,
allowing senators to head home for Thanksgiving recess following the 8 p.m. vote.
If cloture is invoked, Reid would immediately call up his bill as a substitute amendment to a House measure that will
serve as the shell for the motion to proceed vote. Senator Coburn had threatened to require the clerk to read the 2,000page bill following the vote on the motion to proceed, but Reid will call up the bill by number only, which prevents a
reading.
Whether Reid has the votes to break the filibuster Saturday hangs on three Democrats: Senators Lincoln, Landrieu, and
Ben Nelson. All three say they are undecided, but appear to indicate they are leaning toward voting in favor of cloture.

Reportedly Landrieu has been using her leverage to attempt to change the bill as it moves forward and won a
particularly sweet deal that could bring billions to Louisiana. Following 2005's Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana saw an
increase in per capita income, which led to a significant drop in federal Medicaid funding. Reid included language in the
bill that will increase funding by 50 percent of the total decrease.
You will recall that Senator Snowe was the only Republican to vote in favor of the Finance bill, but said she has too many
concerns with Reid's version to support the cloture vote Saturday.
Earlier this week, the CB0 scored the Reid bill. The CBO estimates the total cost of the legislation is $848 billion.
Below please find a copy of the President's statement on the roll out of Reid's legislation:
STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA ON THE PATIENT PROTECTION AND AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
"Today we passed another critical milestone in the health reform effort with the release of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act. I was particularly pleased to see that the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the bill will
reduce the deficit by $127 billion over the next ten years and as much as $650 billion in the decade following, saving
hundreds of billions while extending coverage to 31 million more Americans.
From day one, our goal has been to enact legislation that offers stability and security to those who have insurance and
affordable coverage to those who don't, and that lowers costs for families, businesses and governments across the
country. Majority Leader Reid, Chairmen Baucus and Dodd, and countless Senators have worked tirelessly to craft
legislation that meets those principles.
Just yesterday, a bipartisan group of more than 20 leading health economists released a letter urging passage of
meaningful reform and praising four key provisions that are in the Senate legislation: a fee on insurance companies
offering high-premium plans, the establishment of an independent Medicare commission, reforms to the health care
delivery system, and overall deficit neutrality. The economists said that these provisions 'will reduce long-term deficits,
improve the quality of care, and put the nation on a firm fiscal footing.' Those are precisely the goals we should be
seeking to attain.
The challenges facing our health care system aren't new but if we fail to act they'll surely get even worse, meaning
higher premiums, skyrocketing costs, and deeper instability for those with coverage. Today, thanks to the Senate's hard
work, we're closer than ever to enacting solutions to these problems.
I look forward to working with the Senate and House to get a finished bill to my desk as soon as possible."

Just got further updates from a de facto rep and Amb Llorens. The de facto authorities have decided to turn this

During that period, corporate raiders tended to buy companies, cut operational costs and then sell them at a profit. But
after Mr. Heyman won a battle with GAF's management for control of the company, he told The New York Times: "There
is a very strong potential in chemicals, and we plan to make them grow."
Mr. Heyman, who was also a lawyer, had diverse business holdings, including Heyman Properties, which owns shopping
malls in the Northeast and which grew out of a business he had inherited from his father.
"He was extremely methodical. There was a rhyme and reason to everything he did," said Leon Black, the chairman of
Apollo Management, a private equity firm, and a longtime friend who was once Mr. Heyman's investment banker.
Mr. Black added: "He combined a strong legal background with a strong analytical business strength, and he was a fierce
negotiator. But what really made Sam kick was that he was a builder. It was all about building, whether it was his
companies, his real estate, his art collection or his family."
Mr. Heyman was born March 1, 1939, in Danbury, Conn., to Annette and Lazarus Heyman. His father was a real estate
developer. After graduating from Yale in 1960 and Harvard Law School in 1964, Mr. Heyman went to work in the Justice
Department under Robert F. Kennedy and served as chief assistant United States attorney for Connecticut. He had to cut
that career short when his father needed him to take over the real estate development business.
Mr. Heyman made his biggest mark in the 1983 battle for GAF. A group of shareholders led by Mr. Heyman became
frustrated by management's resistance to selling some of its biggest assets, including the chemicals business.
Mr. Heyman waged an aggressive campaign against the company's chairman and ultimately forced his removal through
a shareholder vote - a rare victory for shareholders during a time when executives of public companies were considered
virtually untouchable.
Once Mr. Heyman took control of GAF, he reversed course and held on to the chemicals business, ultimately making it a
big contributor to the company's profit.
He also moved quickly to cut costs and revamp the business, saying at the time that he was an "impatient man. When I
see a place where money can be saved, I don't waste time."
Mr. Heyman also gave away money. In 1999, he founded the Partnership for Public Service, which provides fellowships
to encourage students to pursue careers in public service. For his charity work, Mr. Heyman won the President's Citizens
Award in 2008.
His other philanthropic interests included the establishment of the Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Center on Corporate
Governance at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.
He and his wife also collected art. Among their holdings are works by Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock.
In addition to his wife, the former Ronnie Feuerstein, Mr. Heyman is survived by his mother, Annette Heyman of Palm
Beach, Fla.; four children, Lazarus Heyman, Eleanor Propp, Jennifer Millstone and Elizabeth Winter; and nine
grandchildren.

Samuel J. Heyman, who stood out as a corporate raider who preferred to hold on to companies he bought and run them
rather that sell them for a quick profit, died Sunday at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. He was 70.
Mr. Heyman's death was confirmed by his wife, Ronnie, who said he had died after complications from open heart
surgery.
Mr. Heyman was most recently chairman of the GAF Corporation, a manufacturer of roofing materials, and a chemical
company that was spun off from GAF, called International Specialty Products. Both companies are based in Wayne, N.J.
A group led by Mr. Heyman bought GAF in 1983 and took it private in 1987 after the stock market crashed. He later spun
off GAF's chemical business into a separate company, I.S.P.
During that period, corporate raiders tended to buy companies, cut operational costs and then sell them at a profit. But

Sid,
Could you please pass the following to HRC. Thanks. Joe
Dear Madame Secretary,
When we last spoke at the Corporate Council on Africa you were kind enough to invite me to pay a call on you when in
DC. As it turns out, I will be in Washington for most of next week, arriving the afternoon of the 16th and returning to
Santa Fe the evening of the 20th ( the return is flexible if you were available to see me over the weekend.) I realize that
you are traveling this week and possibly into next, but I wanted to reach out to you. As I wrote to you earlier, I am a
director for Symbion Power and may soon assume more direct responsibility for all of Africa as Symbion expands there
from its current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Symbion's competitive advantage is its reliance on local partnering
and human capacity development in the execution of its projects. Its success in the most difficult and dangerous
environments has been very impressive, as the four minute video that Sid gave to you on my behalf demonstrates. We
now want to bring that business model and philosophy to Africa where the social entrepreneurship and the
development of skilled labor is imperative for Africa's long term economic prospects, as you have so forcefully
articulated in past comments.
I am very enthusiastic about
Symbion. It is one or the very few American companies outside the petroleum sector willing to establish itself and to

development and execution will mesh nicely with African needs and U.S. policy priorities.

ARKADELPHIA Johnnie Mae Walker Spargo was born on the first day of Spring, March 20, 1919, and from that
day until her last on this earth, Nov. 8, 2009, she cast her beautiful blue eyes and dimpled smile on all of those around
her.
Johnnie Mae was the youngest daughter of Garland Lee and Nettie Mann Walker of Red Oak, Arkansas, now part of Hot
Springs on the southeast shores of Lake Hamilton. She was predeceased by her parents and siblings, Claude, Eddie,
Grady, Hansel, Clara, Isli, and Doyle. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 67 years, Stephen Fowler Spargo,
and by Jamie and Billy Gibbs, her daughter and sonin-law, and her son-in-law Allen Brown DeLamar. The Spargos, natives
of Hot Springs, made Arkadelphia home when Steve joined Reynolds Aluminum Company in 1954.
Mrs. Spargo is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Byron and Mary Lynda Spargo, of Baton Rouge, La., and her
daughters, Nancy Spargo DeLamar, of Little Rock, and Dr. Linda Spargo, of Oxford, Miss. Her grandchildren include
Megan DeLamar Schroeder and her husband, Trey, of Texarkana; Hattie Alton of Oxford, Miss.; Johni Beth Gibbs and her
fiance Jeremy Teague of Sheridan; Gwendy Clingman and her husband, Ed, of Mechanicsville, Va.; and Leslie Spargo of
Baton Rouge. Johnnie Mae was especially proud of her great-grandchildren: Frances and Eleanor Schroeder and Ryan
and Lauren Clingman.
She was a fierce and loyal advocate for each and every one of her offspring and truly believed that they could be
anything in the world they wanted to be. She was a member of the First Methodist Church in Arkadelphia. Johnnie Mae
was a pre-school teacher for many years at Margo Nelson's Wonderland School in Arkadelphia. She also helped her
community as a constant and reliable election poll worker. Even though Johnnie Mae was determined that she not be
perceived as a retiring little granny, her family was her universe. She was a strong, vibrant woman with black hair coiffed
on top of her head and clicking high heels, and she had beautiful skin that all of her progeny hope to inherit. She
believed in living to the fullest until the end, doing good works, helping all whom she encountered in ways that she
could, and imbuing her children and grandchildren with a strong work ethic and deep empathy for those less fortunate.
Many people in Arkansas have been the recipient of one of her lemon butter pound cakes for doing something kind for
one of her girls. When she won the 2003 Clark County Democrat of the Year, Johnnie Mae was described as a cross
between Eva Peron and Mary Poppins.
Johnnie Mae made her mark on Arkadelphia, determined that her children would enjoy to the fullest the experiences
that the Norman Rockwellian setting provided. She threw herself into any endeavor that her children and grandchildren
wanted to pursue. When Becky Fuller, now Rebecca Ward, was the first person from the city to win a statewide election
at Girl's State, Johnnie Mae organized a city-wide homecoming celebration complete with a parade for all the
Arkadelphia delegates that included her daughter Nancy. When Johnnie Mae's daughter Jamie wanted to pursue rodeo
and barrel racing, Nonnie perfected her ability to sew cowgirl outfits while also cheering-on her daughter from the
stands. When her daughter Linda wanted to serve as a cheerleader for Arkadelphia High School and then Ouachita
Baptist University, Johnnie Mae and Steve's house became nerve-center for all events athletic. When daughter Nancy
returned to Arkadelphia in 1964 with seven-month-old Megan to raise, Johnnie and Steve provided a nurturing, loving
home for daughter and granddaughter. Megan was the grandchild who gave Johnnie Mae her proudest title: Johnnie
Mae became "Nonnie."
Nonnie was queen of a tribe of three generations of women known as "Spargo Girls." When her great-granddaughters
Frances and Eleanor were born in 1999, Nonnie was determined that the twin girls would not use an exclusive
communication method. Nonnie's special task was to talk with them extensively and one-on-one, making sure that the

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760369 Date: 06/30/2015
girls' first desire was to talk to her. Active in Democratic politics at all levels and with a passion, she was equally a
dedicated life master of duplicate bridge and played many a set with her friends at the House of Bridge in Hot Springs.
Johnnie ultimately spent most of her time driving to wherever one of her children lived to help with whatever tasks of
life needed tending. In response to this demanding schedule, she famously responded, "You can sleep when you are
dead!" Her stock question when confronted with news from one of her children of a pending event whether one was
receiving an award or going out for lunch was "Well, what will you wear?" Raising all these Spargo girls, she was
expert not only at re-upholstering an entire set of living room furniture, she also sewed countless, spontaneous-yetappropriate attire, from couture evening gowns to cowgirl wear. Making ball gowns from the draperies was not
exclusive to other southern heroines.
Perhaps Johnnie Mae's most endearing qualities were unfailing optimism combined with great pragmatism. She lived in
the present and did not believe in guilt or regrets. Born before women could vote, she cast one of her last votes for the
woman she hoped would be the first woman President. When Hillary did not prevail, she once again enjoyed casting a
vote for a straight Democratic ticket. Nonnie would want the family to express special gratitude for the many kindnesses
extended to her by the staff and nurses at Presbyterian Village in Little Rock, where she resided since June 2009. Thank
you is extended also to Arkansas Hospice whose compassion and care comforted both family and friends. Thanks are
also expressed to the staff of Home Instead and their compassionate caregiver, Bette White. John Lee Roberts of
Arkadelphia provided unwavering help and assistance and was a much loved friend and companion to both Steve and
Johnnie Mae.
The family will have a visitation at 9:30-10:30 a.m. Wednesday at Ruggles-Wilcox Funeral Home in Arkadelphia, followed
by a graveside service at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at Rose Hill Cemetery led by Father Douglas Anderson of St. James
Episcopal Church, Texarkana. Memorials may be made to Arkansas Hospice, 5600 W 12th St., Little Rock, Ark. 72204;

Fyi to you
I was just talking to Mark Landler and relayed at the behest of the IG that they wanted to be sure Mark understood that
the current IG inspection of Kabul is routine and that it always includes a leadership/management survey of the boss.
Mark laughed and said he understood that, because of his knowledge of the inspection that is wrapping up in my
bureau. It is why he put mention of the inspection at the tail end of the story.

Re: FYI: Murdoch makes his move to Cameron. Attack on BBC to follow. Sid
Lord Mandelson's attack shines spotlight on Tory leader's links with media mogul
David Cameron has been accused of making a "contract" with Britain's biggest media company to trade political support
before an election for government favours afterwards if the Tories win.
The accusation was levelled yesterday by the Business Secretary Peter Mande!son, who is increasingly the public face of
Gordon Brown's government. Ministers are angry at the campaign that The Sun has run against the Prime Minister all
this week over the spelling mistakes in a letter Mr Brown sent to the mother of a young soldier killed in Afghanistan.
They suspect that the Conservative Party has been tailoring its policies on media regulation and the BBC to suit the
commercial interests of News International, which owns The Sun, and that the paper's aggressive support for the Tories
is a pay-off that could spread to other parts of the mass media.
Examples of the apparent tie-in between what News International's boss, James Murdoch, wants, and what David
Cameron is ready to promise include the recent decision by the Conservatives to abandon the idea of "top slicing" the
BBC licence fee. It had been proposed that part of the money paid to the BBC would be siphoned off to help regional
television companies meet the threat from the Internet. But this would also have helped them compete more effectively
against Sky News, which is part of the Murdoch media empire.
When the policy was abandoned in September, Jeremy Hunt, the shadow Culture Secretary, said that it was because
enacting it might make the commercial television companies "focus not on attracting viewers but on attracting
subsidies". There was no gain for the BBC in the climbdown, because David Cameron had already said that the Tories will
freeze the licence fee. What it will mean is that the BBC's income will be capped, without the regional television
companies seeing any government help, which will strengthen the market position of Britain's only satellite television
company, Sky. "This was done for News International," a Tory insider said yesterday. "Murdoch wants Sky to go head to
head with the BBC. He doesn't want the independent companies strengthened."
In April 2008, James Murdoch complained bitterly about the media regulator Ofcom in his first major speech after taking
over as chief executive of News Corporation in Europe and Asia. The following year, David Cameron announced that a
Conservative government would cut Ofcom down to size.
Last summer James Murdoch attacked the "abysmal record" of the BBC Trust - the body created by Labour to over see
the BBC - in a lecture he gave at the Edinburgh Festival, singling out its "total failure" to stop the BBC buying the Lonely

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760303 Date: 06/30/2015
Planet travel guides, a takeover that Murdoch denounced as an "egregious" invasion of private enterprise by the state.
Less than two months later, Jeremy Hunt promised that the Tories would abolish the Trust.
In the same lecture, Murdoch complained that BBC performers like Jonathan Ross are being paid salaries that "no
commercial competitor can afford". He had barely uttered the words before Ed Vaizey, a shadow media minister,
promised that a Tory government would compel the BBC to publish the salaries of its top performers.
Lord Mandelson alleged yesterday that the Conservatives and News International had "effectively formed a contract,
over the head, incidentally, of the newspaper's editor and their readers, in which they are sort of bound to one
another".
Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, he added: "What The Sun can do for the Conservatives during the election is
one part of the contract and, presumably, what the Conservatives can do for News International if they are elected is the
other side of the bargain. But there is a wider question. When The Sun creates the news in this way, this is then followed
up by Sky News, which then puts pressure on the BBC to follow suit."
This was "absolutely, categorically" denied yesterday by The Sun's political editor, Tom Newton Dunn, who accused Lord
Mandelson of talking "preposterous nonsense".
The Sun, which supported Labour through three general elections under Tony Blair's leadership, announced that it was
jumping ship on the day that Gordon Brown delivered his annual speech.to the Labour Party conference in September.
Its onslaught on Gordon Brown for the mistakes made in a handwritten letter to Jacqui Janes is the most aggressive
attack that the newspaper has directed at any Labour Party leader since Neil Kinnock stood down after losing the 1992
general election, a defeat for which The Sun claimed victory with the slogan "It was The Sun wot won it".
But there were signs yesterday that the attack may have rebounded on The Sun. Mr Brown, who is blind in one eye, has
admitted that his handwriting is bad and has apologised to Mrs Janes, whose 20-year-old son, Jamie, was killed by a
makeshift bomb in Afghanistan last month.
A poll yesterday for the website PoliticsHome, whose main shareholder is the Conservative Party deputy chairman Lord
Ashcroft, found that 65 per cent of those polled thought that The Sun's attack was "inappropriate" compared with 23
per cent who thought it was "legitimate".
The closeness of the new Tory-Sun axis is shown up by the revelation, from an inside source, that David Cameron
personally consulted the editor of The Sun, Dominic Mohan, in three separate conversations before he abandoned his
"cast-iron" promise to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, now that all 27 members states of the EU have ratified it.
Mr Cameron was understandably wary of how The Sun might react to the abandonment of that promise. The paper has
campaigned for years against what it sees as the growth of an EU superstate. It was in an open letter to readers of The
Sun that Cameron first made his guarantee, two years ago.
His announcement that a referendum is off the agenda was subjected to a scathing attack in the Daily Mail, but in The
Sun it was given kid-glove treatment under the headline "Cameron's crusade for UK rights".
The person behind this aggressively pro-Tory policy is James Murdoch, not his father, Rupert, who created The Sun
virtually from scratch in the 1970s. Rupert Murdoch claimed in an interview with Sky News Australia that he "regretted"
his son's decision to turn against Gordon Brown, "who is a friend of mine", but defended it on the grounds that Brown
has been a "disappointment".
Yesterday, The Times, another Murdoch newspaper, announced that its veteran political editor, Phil Webster, is leaving
the Commons, where he h8 been based for decades. Mr Webster is very well thought of by New Labour. His
replacement, Roland Watson, was a friend of David Cameron's at Eton but has no political ties with the Tories.
Tom Newton Dunn, newly appointed as The Sun's political editor, is another Old Etonian. His father, Bill, used to be a
Tory MEP, but defected to the Liberal Democrats in 2000.

Dear Cheryl and Jake,
I wanted to let you know that after a great deal of soul-searching, I have decided to leave the State Department in about
a month.
This was an exceptionally difficult decision; one of the most difficult I have made in my life. It has been a honor and a
real joy to have been part of the team here at State; the past year has been one of the most enriching experiences of my
career. I am leaving only for personal reasons; after pushing myself as hard as I possibly could the last several years, I
need to do this for myself, to spend some time away from work with my family and friends and reenergize.
Thank you once again for the remarkable opportunity to serve our country and work for the Secretary. This has been a
rare privilege, and I cannot stress enough how appreciative I am. I hold the entire team here in the highest possible

The twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9 has become, in the minds and pronouncements
of many, a celebration of Ronald Reagan's starring role in the demise of the Evil Empire. For example, a new book by
Romesh Ratnesar (Tear Down This Wall: A City, a President, and the Speech that Ended the Cold War) argues that the
four-word dare that Reagan hurled at Mikhail Gorbachev in June 1987 catalyzed the forces that led to collapse of the
East German regime a little more than two years later. In a speech that Newt Gingrich gave on the anniversary titled,
"The Victory of the Cross: How Spiritual Renewal Helped Topple the Berlin Wall," he was expected to say that Reagan's
"constant moral and material support for the cause of freedom" undermined the Iron Curtain.
But the real world-historical hero of that whole episode was Mikhail Gorbachev himself. If he had lost out in 1985 to any
of his rivals for the top job in the Kremlinthe Moscow or Leningrad party chiefs, for examplewe'd probably still have
a cold war and, quite possibly, a divided Berlin. Gorbachev, now 78, made an appearance at the commemorative
ceremonies in Berlin on Monday, as did Russian President Dimitri Medvedev.
Two other decisive figures were Reagan's and Gorbachev's successors.
President George H.W. Bush served as a calmand calmingair traffic controller, guiding an increasingly dispirited
Gorbachev as he piloted the Soviet state in for a soft landing on the ash heap of history.

And had Boris Yeltsin not stood up to the hard-line communists who briefly ousted Gorbachev in 1991, the Soviet
Unionand the Soviet systemmight have survived. In which case, there might still have been a celebration of freedom
in Berlin this week, but there would probably not have been anyone from Moscow in attendance.

I know you're embarked on another big trip and wish you well.
I met with Reema Navatany, Ela Bhatt's right hand, whom you know. She sends her greetings and underscored again
what you mean to them. SEWA is on the cutting edge of so many exciting developments.
We had a great conversation on many things, including how much women in the developing world can and must do to
address climate change and drive low tech green industries. In the villages, I could feel the pollution in my eyes and
throat -- so much needs to be done at the local level. Much pollution is produced because of the way women cook, etc.
When I get back, will work up some ideas on this. Delhi's been enshrouded in smog for the last couple days.
The SEWA project I visited 2 hours outside of Delhi was so impressive. Women who were among the poorst of the poor
had become businesswomen capable of traveling to London and Brussels to negotiate contracts with companies for
their embroidery etc We're going to have SEWA play a key role in the Vital Voices summit that you announced that will
take place here next year.
Maria Otero was still here when - arrived so she joined me for the SEWA mtgs.
I also went to one of Rushira Gupta's antitrafficking projects. You know her as we've been working with her thru WH
years. She got the global citizens award at CGI this year. I don't think I've seen worse conditions than what she's trying to
address. In Mumbai we launched an anti- trafficking campaign with Bollywood which brought in new players to the
cause.
Tomw, I will be speaking on this year's World Economic Forum Gender Gap report for India. There's so much potential
for India's economic growth -- as the WEF points out --- if they'd tap women's potential here. India is last of the BRIC
countries on most indicators and comes out poorly generally. Will be raising some of these issues with govt in Dialogue
mtgs.
Anyway, I thought of you so much everywhere I went. I'm so happy to be part of your legacy on these issues.
Travel well.

I too am sorry not to be able to see you this time. I am currently making about one trip a month to DC for Symbion, so I

work through to coordinate a time please let me know or have them drop me a note. My schedule is much more flexible

By the way I just returned from Angola. Your stop there was a big hit. I found Luanda to be fascinating and much
different from much of Africa. I also found the women to be much more overtly powerful in their own right and not
exercising that power through their husbands. How refreshing. Valerie speaks to Women's Voices tonight and in.
prepping has been reading "Half the Sky" which reinforces everything you and Melanne have been fighting for for years.
When I gave my ambassadorial farewell address in Gabon in 1995 I made a point of saying that if I were the God of

drive African economies forward. I hope you succeed in pushing the world in that direction. I don't know of a more
forceful and qualified advocate.

Re: Agenda with Merkel
The Transatlantic Economic Council was Chancellor Angela Merkel's major initiative when Germany held the EU
presidency in 2007. She got President George W. Bush to agree to its formation. But the council now languishes. Has the
US appointed its representative? The council is more about coordinating regulatory matters than trade, by the way.
Raising Merkel's project and reinvigorating it would undoubtedly be well received. Below is an article from Europolitics
Daily from January 2009 on the council. State could work this up.

future By Brian Beary in Washington I Friday 16 January 2009
As Barack Obama was coasting to victory last November, the leader of the Socialist MEPs, Martin Schulz, urged him to
"make sure Europe is on the top of his in-tray". Two months on, there is considerable doubt as to whether Obama will
indeed take this advice or leave Europe lingering towards the bottom of the pile. Nowhere is this danger more striking
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760155 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760155 Date: 06/30/2015
than with the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC), the body German Chancellor Angela Merkel persuaded President
George Bush to set up in April 2007 to remove regulatory barriers to transatlantic trade.
STILL NO TEC CHAIR
Obama has been widely praised for moving quickly, by comparison to previous new presidents, to nominate his new
administration. Yet his spokesman told Europolitics he has still not appointed the future co-chair of the TEC. In the
interim, Michelle O'Neill, Deputy Undersecretary at the Department of Commerce, has been tasked with ensuring
continuity. The EU Co-Chair is Commission Vice-President Gunter Verheugen. Given that dozens of nominations have
already been announced, this may be a sign that among his long list of priorities, the TEC, the most significant EU-US
initiative to emerge in recent years, will not feature highly. It should be noted that when Obama was chair of the Senate
Subcommittee on Europe, from 2007 to 2008, he did not organise a single hearing, something on which his then rival in
the presidential campaign, Senator Hillary Clinton, tried - and failed - to score political points.
The Democrats, who have grown more protectionist-minded on trade, now have a commanding majority in both the US
Senate and House of Representatives. Obama, himself a Democrat, is being careful to cultivate good relations with them
and not take for granted their support, which he desperately needs to push through his ambitious economic policy
agenda. It was Congress that in 2007 introduced the 100% rule, requiring all US-bound containers leaving European
ports to be scanned before being loaded onto the departing ship. This has been a thorn in the EU's side ever since and
now features on the TEC agenda. In the current climate, Congress is unlikely to be clamouring to scrap the rule and may
not even wish to extend the 2012 implementation deadline as the EU is asking. Anxious not to burn bridges, Obama
could well go along with Congress in order to avoid an unnecessary fight.
AMERICANS NOT SO HOT ON TRADE
Congress' protectionism does not magically appear in a vacuum. It is reflective of mounting fears among the US public
about the impact free trade has on US jobs. Their fears are not entirely groundless. American manufacturing jobs are
indeed going overseas - notably to India and China. And being unemployed in the US is a more perilous predicament
than in Europe because government unemployment benefits are less generous and more temporary. Moreover, most
Americans, unlike Europeans, have their health care paid for by their employer so if they lose their job they also lose
their health care. Hardly surprising, therefore, that only 59% of Americans think trade is good for their country,
compared to 78% of French and British, 80% of Czechs and 85% of Germans, a Pew Research Centre survey has shown.
This bearish sentiment has a knock-on effect on all trade dossiers. For example, it makes Congress less amenable to
scrapping the law requiring US airlines to be in 'actual control' of US citizens - something the EU is urging in the current
Open Sky II aviation liberalisation talks. It makes US lawmakers more likely to take action to prevent European
companies winning lucrative US defence contracts. This is happening already with the epic tussle between Boeing and
Airbus over the Pentagon's US$35 billion refuelling tanker contract (see separate article). EU officials are clinging to the
hope that Obama, as president, will adopt a more global outlook and drag the Democratic Congress along with him
rather than the other way around.
A VICTIM OF DULLNESS?
The TEC, despite having failed to deliver as much as many hoped for, remains an extremely useful tool. By emphasising
regulatory rather than tariff barriers, it shows an understanding of where the real problems lie in today's trading
environment. The EU and the US could use the TEC to create a global standard in hugely important sectors, such as toys
and food. "The alternative," as Dan Hamilton, director of the Centre for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins
University in Washington notes, "is that we end up with Chinese standards".
Yet the TEC has one weakness no one should underestimate: its dullness. Discussing highly technical regulatory
divergences, such as whether to wash chickens in chlorine or water, may have been Chancellor Merkel's cup of tea but
French President Nicolas Sarkozy showed little interest in it during the French EU Presidency. Without strong impetus
from someone on Obama's team who has the power to make things happen, the TEC - like an old soldier - might not
actually die but just fade away.
EU-US economy
While there is much talk about the rising power of China and India, the transatlantic economy still far outstrips the rest
of the world in size and wealth. The EU27 and the US accounted for nearly 57% of world gross domestic product in 2007,
while the transatlantic economy made up 47% of world exports and 52% of world imports. The net worth per household
in the US is US$565,000, in France US$518,000, in the U.K. US$599,000, compared to just US$18,000 in China,
US$31,000 in Russia and US$44,000 Brazil.

Re: Advisory committee status and recommendations
Dear Nancy-I very much want to meet and we've been trying to pin my schedule down enough to offer a date. The only times I see
for me before December are Nov 21-23 or sometime in the second or third weeks of December. I'm copying Cheryl so
you two can try to find a time that works.
As to the names, I think they're all worth inviting w the hope they can come. Let's do it! Best, H

Hillary,
I admire the way you handled yourself during your trip to Pakistan. It reminds me of the daunting job before you and it's
potential.
Successfully engaging the power of the DOS and the array of relevant external relationships on behalf of your goals will
remain a central challenge.
As we discussed, gathering a handful of loyal and trusted outside advisors could provide a valuable tool in this regard.
Given your late October or early November target for the first meeting, I have been working with Cheryl to come up with
a date. I guess given all that is going on possible dates seem to continually slip away.
I would understand if, in the context of everything on your plate this advisory group is just not practical. However, if you
do feel that such a gathering would be helpful and want to proceed, I believe you need to step in, select the initial date
or dates (with risk that it may need to change) and extend the invitations. A quick note to Mickey, Gordon, Maggie and
any others you want to include. Others mentioned so far include Sandy Berger, Strobe Talbott and Elaine Kamarck.
For at least the first gathering, you may want to consider two parts. A dinner, breakfast or other informal event plus a
more structured meeting would create the opportunity for informal discussion and time for reflection.
In the event you do want to move forward, I am happy to assist in any way that may be useful. Please know that I in no
way want to push this beyond where you may want to go.

Re: Agenda with Merkel
The Transatlantic Economic Council was Chancellor Angela Merkel's major initiative when
Germany held the EU presidency in 2007. She got President George W. Bush to agree to its
formation. But the council now languishes. Has the US appointed its representative? The council
is more about coordinating regulatory matters than trade, by the way. Raising Merkel's project
and reinvigorating it would undoubtedly be well received. Below is an article from Europolitics
Daily from January 2009 on the council. State could work this up.
http://www.europolitics.info/dossiers/usa-obama/transatlantic-economic-council-facinguncertain-future-art147529-77.html
EUROPOLITICS /
f 141
Trade
As Barack Obama was coasting to victory, last November, the leader of the Socialist MEPs, Martin
Schulz, urged him to "make sure Europe is on the top of his in-tray". Two months on, there is
considerable doubt as to whether Obama will indeed take this advice or leave Europe lingering
towards the bottom of the pile. Nowhere is this danger more striking than with the Transatlantic
Economic Council (TEC), the body German Chancellor Angela Merkel persuaded President George Bush
to set up in April 2007 to remove regulatory barriers to transatlantic trade.
STILL NO TEC CHAIR
Obama has been widely praised for moving quickly, by comparison to previous new presidents, to
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760157 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760157 Date: 06/30/2015
nominate his new administration. Yet his spokesman told Europolitics he has still not appointed the
future co-chair of the TEC. In the interim, Michelle O'Neill, Deputy Undersecretary at the Department
of Commerce, has been tasked with ensuring continuity. The EU Co-Chair is Commission VicePresident Gunter Verheugen. Given that dozens of nominations have already been announced, this
may be a sign that among his long list of priorities, the TEC, the most significant EU-US initiative to
emerge in recent years, will not feature highly. It should be noted that when Obama was chair of the
Senate Subcommittee on Europe, from 2007 to 2008, he did not organise a single hearing, something
on which his then rival in the presidential campaign, Senator Hillary Clinton, tried - and failed - to
score political points.
The Democrats, who have grown more protectionist-minded on trade, now have a commanding
majority in both the US Senate and House of Representatives. Obama, himself a Democrat, is being
careful to cultivate good relations with them and not take for granted their support, which he
desperately needs to push through his ambitious economic policy agenda. It was Congress that in 2007
introduced the 100% rule, requiring all US-bound containers leaving European ports to be scanned
before being loaded onto the departing ship. This has been a thorn in the EU's side ever since and now
features on the TEC agenda. In the current climate, Congress is unlikely to be clamouring to scrap the
rule and may not even wish to extend the 2012 implementation deadline as the EU is asking. Anxious
not to burn bridges, Obama could well go along with Congress in order to avoid an unnecessary fight.
AMERICANS NOT SO HOT ON TRADE
Congress' protectionism does not magically appear in a vacuum. It is reflective of mounting fears
among the US public about the impact free trade has on US jobs. Their fears are not entirely
groundless. American manufacturing jobs are indeed going overseas - notably to India and China. And
being unemployed in the US is a more perilous predicament than in Europe because government
unemployment benefits are less generous and more temporary. Moreover, most Americans, unlike
Europeans, have their health care paid for by their employer so if they lose their job they also lose
their health care. Hardly surprising, therefore, that only 59% of Americans think trade is good for their
country, compared to 78% of French and British, 80% of Czechs and 85% of Germans, a Pew Research
Centre survey has shown.
This bearish sentiment has a knock-on effect on all trade dossiers. For example, it makes Congress less
amenable to scrapping the law requiring US airlines to be in 'actual control' of US citizens - something
the EU is urging in the current Open Sky II aviation liberalisation talks. It makes US lawmakers more
likely to take action to prevent European companies winning lucrative US defence contracts. This is
happening already with the epic tussle between Boeing and Airbus over the Pentagon's US$35 billion
refuelling tanker contract (see separate article). EU officials are clinging to the hope that Obama, as
president, will adopt a more global outlook and drag the Democratic Congress along with him rather
than the other way around.
A VICTIM OF DULLNESS?
The TEC, despite having failed to deliver as much as many hoped for, remains an extremely useful
tool. By emphasising regulatory rather than tariff barriers, it shows an understanding of where the
real problems lie in today's trading environment. The EU and the US could use the TEC to create a
global standard in hugely important sectors, such as toys and food. "The alternative," as Dan Hamilton,
director of the Centre for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins University in Washington notes, "is
that we end up with Chinese standards".
Yet the TEC has one weakness no one should underestimate: its dullness. Discussing highly technical
regulatory divergences, such as whether to wash chickens in chlorine or water, may have been
Chancellor Merkel's cup of tea but French President Nicolas Sarkozy showed little interest in it during
the French EU Presidency. Without strong impetus from someone on Obama's team who has the power

to make things happen, the TEC - like an old soldier - might not actually die but just fade away.
EU-US economy
While there is much talk about the rising power of China and India, the transatlantic economy
still far outstrips the rest of the world in size and wealth. The EU27 and the US accounted for
nearly 57% of world gross domestic product in 2007, while the transatlantic economy made up
47% of world exports and 52% of world imports. The net worth per household in the US is
US$565,000, in France US$518,000, in the U.K. US$599,000, compared to just US$18,000 in
China, US$31,000 in Russia and US$44,000 Brazil.

PEF then spoke to RP about the OSE's concerns particularly in regards to how the
move would be received by the international community and how this would affect
stability in Haiti. PEF stressed that the positive momentum which had been
generated over the last six months could easily be undone if the private sector
perceived the PM's dismissal as a sign of instability. The majority of their
conversation took place in Creole so PEF is confident that nothing was lost in
translation.

successes. RP requested that both WJC and the State Department not take any

Re: Berlin speeches
Below are my notes for speeches in Berlin. The themes I stress are these: the importance of Berlin and the Brandenburg
Gate as symbols of freedom; the weight of history (always felt by Germans); the contribution of the US and the salience
of the Western alliance; the meaning of 1989 to today and especially the continuity of the Western alliance; and segue
from past to future.
What I have not done here but might be added are references to Angela Merkel (a courageous woman from the east
who embodies the highest values of the West); and specific policies. Those can be fitted in.
Twenty years ago the wall fell. Here, in Berlin, the moment when tens of thousands of citizens tore it down with
hammers and picks and bare hands is called "Die Wende," a phrase that means more than simply a change but a turning
point in history. It was not only a turning point for Germany and Europe but also for the United States because the
wallthe reason for its construction and the reason for its destructionis central to our common historyand to our
common future.
Richard von Weizsaecker said, "As long as the Brandenburg Gate is closed, the German question will remain open."
Today I can say with finality, the German question is closed, because the Brandenburg Gate is wide open! The gate is
open, Europe is open, and our future together is open.
In the forty years from the Berlin airlift to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Atlantic partnership proved itself the most
successful alliance for freedom in history. That alliance was, is and shall be the crowning achievement of American
foreign policy. And the German American relationship has always served as its foundation. Our alliance represents the
reconciliation of former enemies, an inspiration to other peoples and continents devastated by war and hatred, and it
must never be taken for granted.
In the twenty years since the fall of the wall we have created architecture for an enduring peace. Instead of a wall we
have built a gateway to the future. President Kennedy said in 1963 that in the future free men everywhere will say, "Ich
bin em n Berliner." Today Berlin has gained a new and even more powerful meaning. Forever into the future, the opening

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760184 Date: 06/30/2015
of this Gate will be the symbol of the return of the dream of freedom, not only to Berlin and Germany, but to the entire
world.
The Gate, we must remember, was not built as a symbol of freedom. And each of the tyrannies that used the Gate as a
symbol believed it represented their eternal power. The Gate was first erected as a symbol against the French
Revolution; then it became a symbol of the imperial ambitions of Napoleon who marched his army through. It was a
symbol of Prussian militarism and monarchy. It was seized by the Nazi Party as the symbol of its 1000 year rule. And
then it became a symbol of the Communist totalitarianism that built a wall to separate the people of Berlin as though
freedom could be contained in only one part of the city. Here, in Berlin, the Cold War was coldest.
We celebrate the fact that the wall that marred this proud city was taken down by the world's most enthusiastic
wrecking crew. The United States always believed in the freedom of Berlin because we believed in the future of
freedom. The courageous citizens of East Germany, Poland and other nations of the Communist bloc demonstrated their
dedication to free and peaceful solution of conflicts through their stand against dictatorship. America stood resolutely as
an ally at every moment of this struggle and moved swiftly to help the peoples of Europe reunite after 1989.
We celebrate the steadiness of purpose, the restraint and respect for ultimate goals that allowed the Cold War to end in
peace. For how the victory was won was essential to the triumph. 1989 was special. It was that rarest of historical
events: a revolution that did not descend into violence. As a result the Gate survives not as a cautionary monument to
history's darkest moments but to its brightest. Today we celebrate the revolution of 1989, the turning point that
transformed the Brandenburg Gate into the symbol of the hope of democracy and the promise of freedom.
Berliner Luft, the air of Berlin, has always been unique. I can feel and smell the spirit of freedom in your streets. The
great American poet Carl Sandburg called Berlin the Chicago of Europe. Chicago is where I was born and raised. I can
sense the same energy, openness and dedication to hard work in both great cities. Another Chicagoan, President Barack
Obama, was drawn to Berlin last July, a city that he said made him feel like a citizen of the world and a citizen of the
future.
I was very proud to visit our new Embassy at the Brandenburg Gate, located exactly where the Wall used to run. Our
presence here will forever underscore our determination that the spark of freedom from this city in 1989 will help light
the torches of freedom throughout the world.
The revolution of 1989 did not mark the end of history. Having made history together, we are summoned to secure
freedom for future generations. As vital at the beginning of the 21st century as it was in the last half of the 20th, the
Western alliance is called to new tasks. The dreams of 1989 reached farand have farther to reach. Old hatreds and
conflictsin the Balkins, the Caucauses, in the Middle East, East Asia, and Africastill simmer. We have much to
demonstrate what we have learned from the last century. Without freedom, without the rule of law, without the
opportunity for people to support themselves and their families without basic human rights-- anger, aggression and
violence will prevail.

Today we are faced with difficult and often dangerous conflicts arising not from conflicts between nations but within
them, conflicts exploited by zealots who make the false claim that violence will purify the world and open the gates of
heaven. Once zealots tried to use this Gate to symbolize that message. But through the courage and determination of
the people of Berlin and their stalwart allies, this Gate now stands for a true revolution of the spirit. The long twilight
struggle to tear down this wall to make Europe whole and free inspires us, in this new century, to help other peoples
gain the same measure of security, respect and progress.
We need Berlin more than ever today. We need your courage, your fortitude, your commitment to the rights of men
and womenwe need your example. We are hardly at the end of the history of the West. Standing here, where a wall
once stood but is no more, in the light from the Gate, we have learned from history's deepest lessons. Our alliance,
linked by shared struggle, dedicated to the ideals of freedom and democracy, strong from the world we have built, now
faces a new world of challenges. And we are ready to meet and conquer them. We know it has been done before. We
are free menand womenand proud to say, We are all Berliners.

Madame Secretary:
Thank you for reaching out to Secretary Solis and convincing her to join the Verification Commission. She and Ricardo
Lagos will make for a very high profile and effective international component of the Commission.
We will meet with her this morning at 10 am to brief her for Tuesday's journey to Honduras. At this point, it appears we
have a military aircraft available. The plan is for the U.S. Delegation to depart D.C., stop in Miami to pick up Ricardo
Lagos, and arrive in Tegucigalpa together. We think this will send a powerful message to Hondurans and leave no doubt
about our commitment to seeing this process through to a successful conclusion.
You should be aware that Ambassador Hugo Llorens is under public assault. The Wall Street Journal dedicates its
America's column this morning to attacking him and calling for his removal. Last Friday, Representative Connie Mack did
the same. This chorus will grow as the extent of our accomplishment is understood. Llorens is a tough, stalwart guy. He
and his Mission have held firm during this crisis. A call from you would be a big boost.
Finally, we will hold an IPC today to identify further steps. We will keep you up to date on these steps and identify
further opportunities for your engagement.

and take risks at the right time have propelled us much further than anyone expected. Your diplomacy prevented a

Re: Cameron Blowup in Europe
Without passing "Go," David Cameron has seriously damaged his relations. with the European leaders. Sending a letter to
Czech leader Vaclay Klaus encouraging him not to sign the Lisbon Treaty, as though Cameron were already Prime
Minister, he has offended Sarkozy., Merkel and Zapatero. Within the Conservative Party the Shadow Foreign Minister
William Hague has arduously pressured for an anti-EU stance, despite his assurances to you that Tory policy toward
Europe would be marked by continuity. Cameron has attempted to straddle factions, fending off calls for a national
referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. But this letter is proof positive of his tilt to the Tory right on Europe. The European
leaders understand that the letter signals his future policy and are reacting accordingly. Cameron's presumptive strike
has accelerated the predicted Tory-European split from post-election to pre-election. Whether this affects Merkel's
attitude on Blair and the EU presidency remains unclear, but Cameron's high-handed behavior is precisely the sort of
thing that provokes her. See the Guardian report below:

Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel and Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero are understood to have privately criticised the Tory
leader after he sent a handwritten letter to the Czech president Vaclay Klaus, who is refusing to sign the treaty. The
letter was seen as an attempt to influence the Czech Republic, the only country not to have ratified the treaty.
Senior British sources familiar with thinking at the highest levels of the EU say that the leaders of France, Germany
<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/germany> and Spain <http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldispain> all raised
questions about the Cameron letter.
It is understood that Cameron encouraged Klaus to delay the ratification of the treaty by setting out Tory policy to hold a
referendum in Britain on the treaty if it has not been ratified by all member states.
The sources have told the Guardian that:
* Sarkozy was overheard telling Gordon Brown that he was incensed by Cameron's letter, which the French saw as an
attempt to wreck the Lisbon treaty.
Merkel was also said to be upset by Cameron's letter. The German chancellor is understood to have echoed concerns
of senior figures in her CDU party, such as the former European parliament president Hans Gert Poettering, that
Cameron's behaviour had been untrustworthy.
Zapatero who addressed the recent Labour party conference and will have to negotiate directly with Cameron if he
wins the election because Spain holds the EU's rotating presidency until July 2010 made clear to diplomats that he
regarded Cameron's letter as damaging and an attempt to scupper the treaty.
The interventions by the EU leaders come as the Tories plan to abandon their two-year campaign to hold a referendum
on the Lisbon_treaty. Senior Tories told the Guardian that Cameron will set out his thinking in the coming weeks if, as
expected, the Czech president finally ratifies the treaty.
It is understood that Cameron will drop his pledge to hold a referendum on the treaty on the grounds that it is
impossible to open a treaty that has entered EU law. A Tory government would instead focus on repatriating social and
employment laws, in effect restoring the British opt-out from the social chapter. This has been sprinkled around various
EU treaties since Tony Blair ended the opt-out in 1997, meaning that its measures could only be restored to Britain with
the agreement of all member states.
Brown yesterday used his appearance at the summit, where he held a series of formal and informal one-to-one
meetings with EU leaders, to launch a strong attack on the Tories' approach to Europe. Speaking of the Tory decision to
abandon the main centre-right EPP grouping in the European parliament in favour of a smaller group consisting mainly
of fringe parties from the hard right in eastern Europe, the prime minister said: "The Conservative party are standing
apart from the mainstream in Europe.
"They are part of a very small group of minorities of 23 people apart from the Conservative party. They are standing on
the fringes of Europe. That is a huge mistake for British interests."
A Tory spokeswoman said: "We have never concealed the fact that we sent the letter ... David Cameron has made no
secret of its contents. It sets out his public opinion in a private letter."

Wed., Palau was one of only two UN General Assembly members to vote with the US against a resolution calling
for an end to the US embargo of Cuba (Israel was the other). Even the two other states in free association with the US.
did not support the US position. Important officials in Palau wanted to abstain because of the drastic cut in U.S.
assistance that Alcy Frelick has insisted on but Pres. Toribiong decided to stick with the US. The proposal to cut the small
amount of assistance that Palau is receiving is ironic in light of the substantial increase in assistance pledged to the two
other freely associated states just a few years ago. It is also misinformed and misguided.

Hillary's Moment: Clinton Faces the World By Joe Klein Time Magazine Wednesday, Nov. 04, 2009
It was Halloween night in Jerusalem, and Benjamin Netanyahu came dressed as a peacemaker. "We're prepared to start
peace talks immediately," the notoriously reluctant Israeli Prime Minister proclaimed, with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton standing at his side, poker-faced. "I think we should ... get on it and get with it."
It was a ploy, of course. The Palestinians were tangled up in themselves, yet again. They had elections looming, and their
leader, Mahmoud Abbas, had to hang tough: he was demanding a total freeze to Israeli settlement-building on the West
Bank which was precisely what the Obama Administration had previously said it favored. Netanyahu was offering a
partial freeze, not including new settlements in East Jerusalem, the desired capital of a future Palestinian state. This was
a nonstarter for the Palestinians, but it had the holographic glow of a step forward. It was an "unprecedented" offer,
Netanyahu trumpeted, with the joy of a chess master springing a trap.(See photos from 60 years of Israel.)
It was a tough moment for Clinton, playing second fiddle at the Bibi-does-Gandhi show. President Barack Obama had
softened his language on the settlements a few weeks earlier: instead of a total freeze, he had talked about Israeli
"restraint" in settlement-building. And now Clinton seemed to cement the Administration's retreat, agreeing that
Netanyahu's proposal was, indeed, "unprecedented," even though the U.S. still favored a total freeze. The most
important thing, she added, was for the parties to get to the table as quickly as possible. The onus was back on the
Palestinians and the Palestinians quickly expressed outrage at the Obama Administration's retreat. Their Arab
neighbors soon joined in, causing Clinton to backtrack two days later, telling reporters the Israeli plan "falls far short" of
U.S. expectations, although she still insisted on calling it "unprecedented," which was neither diplomatic nor wise.
Suddenly the Obama Administration seemed wobbly on the Middle East; clearly, Clinton had been too bullish on
Netanyahu's proposal (which had been negotiated over months with Middle East envoy George Mitchell and was seen,
privately, by the Americans as real progress). But the Administration's mission was to get the parties into peace talks
without preconditions. The Israelis were now in favor of talks. The Palestinians were setting preconditions. And Clinton
had violated an essential rule of her job: boring is almost always better.(See photos from the life and career of former
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.)
Clinton's Three Qualities
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
For the past 40 years, the awkward Middle East press conference has helped define the job of Secretary of State. You go
to Jerusalem or Ramallah; you stand there "guardedly optimistic" in public; in private, you try to move a comma, but the
Israelis or Palestinians move a semicolon to block your comma. The result is almost always the same: gridlock. The
breakthroughs, when they come, emanate from others. Walter Cronkite asks Anwar Sadat if he'd be willing to go to
Jerusalem ... and Sadat, to everyone's surprise, says yes. The Israelis and Palestinians hold secret meetings in Oslo and
reach what appears to be a breakthrough they're talking! which then becomes another dead end.
The job of Secretary of State is more thankless than glamorous; in some ways, the Department of State, a noble antique,
is still trying to come to terms with the invention of the telephone. In an era when Twitter haiku-messaging rules,
diplomacy moves at the speed, and requires the nuanced complexity, of literature. Power has drifted from State to the
National Security Council and the Pentagon, especially in wartime. Only a few of Clinton's recent predecessors have
distinguished themselves. Henry Kissinger, a National Security Adviser who belatedly became Secretary of State, was
Richard Nixon's schizophrenic alter ego; George Shultz was a strong policy voice in the Reagan Administration; James
Baker had clout because he was George H.W. Bush's best friend and a world-class dealmaker. Most of the others have
been frustrated or forgettable. And yet this is Hillary Clinton we're talking about the second most popular American in
the world, an eternally compelling and supremely talented character, the subject of constant speculation, a walking
headline. Her very presence in the job makes it crucial once more.
It is a clich to say that by naming Clinton, Obama brought his most popular potential opponent into the tent. The
conventional wisdom, too cynical by half, is that he thereby succeeded in neutering her, a theory bolstered by Clinton's
reticence during her first nine months on the job, with special envoys like Mitchell and Richard Holbrooke doing the
heavy lifting of diplomacy. But by naming Clinton, Obama also gave her great power, which cuts both ways: if she
becomes dissatisfied with her role or the Administration's policies, she can become a torpedo aimed at the Oval Office.
Colin Powell had similar power and a real gripe the Iraq war but never used it. Clinton has no such gripe, but as the
Obama Administration settles in and policy differences begin to emerge among the key players, the Powell conundrum
looms: How will Clinton choose to use her power? How will Obama react if and when she does?
Traditionally, the Secretary of State is judged on his or her ability to formulate policy, negotiate deals and manage the
striped-pants bureaucracy. Clinton has no history as a global strategist, although her performance in the 2008 campaign
indicates that she is a bit more conservative than the President, more the foreign policy realist than the Wilsonian
idealist. It is also too early to judge her skill as a manager or negotiator although her performance in Jerusalem
indicates that she needs a few lessons in Middle East Haggling 101.
There are, however, three qualities that could make her a memorable Secretary of State. She brings a vision of
departmental reform the need to elevate foreign aid programs to the same status and rigorous scrutiny as diplomacy
that could change striped pants into chinos in the developing world. She is also the first elected politician to hold the
office since Edmund Muskie briefly did during the Carter Administration, which has enabled her to better understand
and interact with the politicians who run places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. But most important, she is an
international celebrity with a much higher profile than any of her recent predecessors and the ability second only to
the President's to change negative attitudes about the U.S. abroad.
She has the potential to become the most powerful public diplomat the U.S. has fielded in quite some time, although
her performance so far, at home and abroad, has occasionally been perplexing. At home, she has often seemed
tentative and deferential. In a conversation with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates aired by CNN in early October,
Clinton's cautious formality took a backseat to Gates' brisk, humorous confidence on policy issues. Abroad, she seems
far more confident, at times to the point of recklessness, as in Jerusalem. (See photos of the last days of Hillary Clinton's
campaign.)
Independence and Candor
In the last week of October, Secretary Clinton moved squarely to the center of the world stage, attempting, at the
behest of her special envoys, to improve the rocky alliance with Pakistan and nudge the Middle East pugilists into talks.
In the course of the trip, there were the first stray wisps of a hint that Clinton wanted to begin asserting her
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
independence, as the Administration, facing roadblocks across the world, struggled for a firmer foreign policy tone after
an opening nine months that might be called the Rodney King "Can't we all just get along?" phase.
During her three days in Pakistan, she ran a gauntlet of town-hall meetings and media interviews that may have been
unprecedented, to use the word of the week, for a U.S. Secretary of State. The trip, planned by Holbrooke and Pakistan
specialist Vali Nasr, offered an unusually subtle itinerary for a U.S. diplomatic mission. A visit to a Sufi mosque that had
been bombed by Sunni extremists, for example, sent a powerful message to Pakistan's moderate Islamic majority. "We
saw her praying there," an academic named Shala Aziz told me, "and, for the first time, I'm thinking, The Americans have
hearts."(See photos of the suicide bombings in Islamabad.)
The big news was that Clinton allowed herself to be hammered with hostile questions from students, talk-show hosts
and Pashtun elders and that, on occasion, she pushed back, raising incredibly sensitive issues, like why no one in the
Pakistani government knew where Osama bin Laden was, even though he had been in the country since 2002. Press
accounts either emphasized the embarrassment of a Secretary of State's getting pummeled or fixed on Clinton's
undiplomatic bluntness. But they missed the point: her candor, her willingness to listen to and acknowledge criticism,
had begun to undermine the prevailing Pakistani image of the U.S. as arrogant and bossy, more interested in having the
Pakistani military fight its war against al-Qaeda and the Taliban than in having a true strategic partnership. The contrast
was especially sharp after George W. Bush's eight years of unqualified support for the military dictatorship of Pervez
Musharraf. "In the past, when the Americans came, they would talk to the generals and go home," said Farahnaz
Ispahani, a government spokeswoman and Member of Parliament. "Clinton's willingness to meet with everyone, hostile
or not, has made a big impression and because she's Hillary Clinton, with a real history of affinity for this country, it
means so much more."
Transformative Experience
There are no toasts at state dinners in Pakistan, because there is no alcohol. There are opening statements, though, and
Clinton's delivered impromptu on the first night of her trip after tossing aside her notes was surprisingly emotional.
Earlier in the day, President Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of Benazir Bhutto, had presented the Secretary with an album
of photos from her first visit to Pakistan, in 1995, and a framed photo of Bhutto and her two sons with Clinton and
daughter Chelsea. "It did bring tears to my eyes," Clinton said at the state dinner in her honor at the presidential palace,
"because I so admired your wife. She gave her life ..." She faltered then, choking up, but quickly pulled herself together,
talking about the "reasons why we do what we do to provide opportunities for all."
Clinton's first trip to Pakistan as First Lady in 1995 had been a transformative experience for her the beginning, I
believe, of the process that made her a plausible candidate for Secretary of State. I traveled with her on that trip; when
we set off, she seemed depressed and even more private than usual. The Democrats had cratered in the 1994
congressional elections, and she had been trounced in her efforts to enact a universal health care plan. It was a very
personal defeat; as Clinton traveled the country trying to sell the plan, crowds shouted her down and cursed her.
Privately she admitted she was shocked by the hatred. The trip to South Asia seemed a bit of a vacation it was
Chelsea's spring break but also a retreat to a more demure, First Ladylike role after two years as health care policy
czar, although it proceeded in a decidedly wonky, Hillarian fashion. Jackie Kennedy had gone to India and famously
ridden an elephant; Hillary Clinton traveled to five countries and packed her schedule with visits to NG0s.
"That was the greatest trip, just unbelievable," Clinton says now. We were sitting in her hotel suite the day after her
Jerusalem gaffe, the Secretary in an electric-blue shift rather than her usual formal jacket and pants. She was wearing
glasses and appeared rather freckly without her makeup. "I guess that trip has animated and informed everything I've
done since," she said. She emerged from the trip reinvigorated, with a new mission. By the end of 1995, at the U.N.
Conference on Women in Beijing, the First Lady had propounded a new Clinton Doctrine: "Women's rights are human
rights."(See photos of Beijing's changing skyline.)
Clinton is not an easy interview. She is preternaturally cautious, a consequence of her Methodist propriety and 20 years
of insane public scrutiny. She does not like to talk about herself, but she did tell me one interesting story about Bhutto.
When her husband was governor of Arkansas, she and Bill and Chelsea visited London and stood on the sidewalk outside
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
Bhutto's hotel, waiting for the then Pakistani Prime Minister to arrive. "She was wearing a yellow embroidered shalwar
kameez with a chiffon scarf. I was just a fan, standing on the sidewalk with everyone else. It was the only time I ever did
anything like that," Clinton says.
When Clinton and Bhutto met formally, on the first day of the 1995 trip, they hit it off immediately, in part because
Bhutto was also obsessed with the impact the Islamist tide was having on women and children. I remember asking
Bhutto that day what the biggest change in her country had been over the past 25 years, and she said, "I used to be able
to walk down the street wearing jeans, without a headscarf. Now I can't." When I asked her why, she said bluntly
"The Saudis," who had been aggressively funding religious schools. Of course, Bhutto's acquiescence to, and
participation in, the general corruption of the Pakistani government was part of the reason public schools were so
inadequate and madrasahs became popular. (See photos from the aftermath of Benazir Bhutto's assassination in 2007.)
Ironically, the rise of Sunni extremist groups like al-Qaeda has brought Clinton's interests microfinance, education and
health care to the center of national-security policy for the first time. The impetus came not from the State
Department but from the military, where counterinsurgency doctrine demanded that social services in war zones
schools, justice, economic development reinforce the military's efforts to secure the population. As a result, there
was immediate chemistry between Clinton and General David Petraeus, author of the Army's counterinsurgency
manual, who became one of her prime military mentors when she served on the Senate Armed Services Committee. At
one point, well before Obama made his presidential intentions known, I asked Petraeus if there was any potential
Democratic candidate who understood how his mind worked, and he said, "You mean, aside from Hillary?"
It was Clinton who brought together Petraeus and Holbrooke ("my two alpha males," she calls them) for the first time
at her home in Washington on the Friday before the Obama Inauguration. The affection and respect she gained for the
military while serving in the Senate has helped make the relationship between State and the Pentagon less fraught than
usual although Defense Secretary Gates' insistence on the need for bigger State Department budgets hasn't hurt. In
fact, relations with the Pentagon have gone smoother, at times, than Clinton's relationship with the White House staff.
Clinton was particularly irritated by the ridiculously strict vetting process that thwarted her favored candidate for USAID
director, Paul Farmer, from getting the job. "It was all sorts of niggling things," says a Clinton adviser, "like, Farmer had
at one point brought more than $10,000 in cash into Haiti. The money was for a needle-exchange program, but the
amount was illegal."
Another of Clinton's military mentors, retired General Jack Keane, once told me, "I'm a Republican. I disagree with her
about practically everything, but she'd make a hell of a Commander in Chief." There is a palpable toughness to the
woman, a hard edge that contrasts with the President's instinctive impulse toward conciliation. One of the sharpest
exchanges of the presidential campaign came when Obama accused Clinton of echoing the "bluster" of George W. Bush
after she said the U.S. would be able to "obliterate" Iran if it used nuclear weapons against Israel. Clinton's edgier tone
has been evident from the start of the Administration: she took a sharper position than the President on an Israeli
settlement freeze by claiming, in May, that Obama wanted "to see a stop to settlements. Not some settlements, not
outposts, not natural-growth exceptions." And then, in Jerusalem, her use of the word unprecedented seemed a
rhetorical leap beyond the No Drama ground rules.(Read "Clinton's Collateral Damage.")
The White House was not entirely thrilled with either statement. But then the White House staff is several steps
removed from a negotiating process. The Palestinians are weak and divided. The Israelis have been difficult, as always:
whenever Mitchell raises East Jerusalem in talks with the Israeli Foreign Minister, the Israeli stands up and walks out of
the room. Despite Netanyahu's momentary, tactical enthusiasm for peace talks, his Likud Party has always favored the
de facto incorporation of Palestinian lands into the state of Israel.
Hillary's Choice
The tensions between the White House and State raise a fascinating question going forward. Obama and Clinton are in
substantive agreement on the President's diplomacy-first philosophy and on most policy issues although neither is
willing to disclose the content of their private conversations but style often predicts substance in foreign policy;
neither Obama's gauziness nor Clinton's inconsistent bluntness overseas seems particularly solid. There is a growing
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
perception that the Administration's policies have been thwarted across the board: Afghanistan is a mess, Iran seems
ready to scuttle the nuclear negotiations, there's no progress in the Middle East, the Syrians and North Koreans remain
recalcitrant, the Russians have been offered a freebie on missile defense, and the Chinese have been given a pass on
human rights with no apparent quid pro quos.
The White House argues that some progress has been made: Iran is on the defensive, and North Korea has said it will
return to the six-party talks. Clinton argues, correctly, about the need for "strategic patience." But the only thing Obama
really has to show for his efforts so far is a Nobel Prize for Potential and no small thing the wisdom to have
refrained from doing anything so wildly stupid as invading Iraq. The President has been willing to use military force
the Predator drones that have decimated al-Qaeda's leadership testify to his lack of squeamishness but this
Administration is supposed to be about the efficacy of using subtler expressions of U.S. power. That doesn't happen
overnight, but for Obama's policies to be considered a success, it has to happen sooner or later, in a way that can be
explained to the public.
There is also a growing sense that the President's inexperience is beginning to show not in his overall policy, which
represents the views of a broad, moderate national-security consensus ranging from Brent Scowcroft to John Kerry, but
in his execution of the details. The Afghan strategy review has been too public and taken too long; the Middle East peace
hunt has become a wild goose chase. A letter to Iran's Supreme Leader is a productive gesture only if it gets a response;
if it doesn't, it seems weak and supplicatory. A call for the Israelis to freeze settlements is effective only if it is
accompanied by the credible threat of a reduction in aid. "You can't be seen pushing countries around demanding
[that] Israel freeze settlements, demanding that Hamid Karzai reform his government and not get results," says Leslie
H. Gelb, author of Power Rules. "The leaders of these countries are tough, successful politicians, and they'll begin to take
you less seriously." (See photos from the 1979 revolution in Iran.)
Clinton is unwilling to acknowledge these problems, and her staff is loath to admit her occasional mistakes. Her praise
for the President is fulsome, and aides say the relationship with Obama really really is strong. But there are also
burblings and emanations from Clinton's staff and friends, Foggy Bottom body language, that suggest there is a need for
the Administration to produce a second act after the Rodney King phase. And the White House is perplexed by the
uncharacteristic lack of discipline indicated by Clinton's occasional overseas gaffes.
These tensions are well within the boundaries of normal, creative policymaking. There is absolutely no indication that
the Secretary is frustrated to the point of jumping ship or returning to politics as a candidate for governor of New
York, as has been rumored. Quite the contrary, she seems intent on making history as Secretary of State. To do that,
though, she will have to have the same authority at home as she has abroad. She will have to become the President's
primary foreign policy voice. Over the first nine months of the Obama Administration, seven different Obama officials
have spoken on the Sunday talk shows about foreign policy. Clinton has been on each of the Sunday shows once. "Either
you have one person sending the foreign policy message, with the clear approval of the President," says a former
Republican Secretary of State, "or there is no message."(See photos from eight months of Obama's diplomacy.)
Aides to Obama say they would like to see her on the Sunday shows more often. (Indeed, Clinton's staff acknowledged
that she was asked to appear two additional times but was traveling and unable to do so.) Ultimately, though, television
is a metaphor for the larger questions that need to be resolved: How much can these former rivals both extremely
guarded and private people really trust each other; and, if not Clinton, who will emerge as the President's alter ego
on foreign policy? At this point, the strongest member of Obama's national-security team is Gates but he's a
Republican and an unlikely spokesman or presidential confidant on anything beyond Pentagon issues. General Jim Jones
has settled in as National Security Adviser, but he's not a political animal and every President needs a close foreign
policy adviser who understands the intersection of long-term strategy, politics and diplomatic chess.
Clinton's value to the Administration was clear in Pakistan. She wowed a public so skeptical that it had been questioning
the $7.5 billion in purely economic and humanitarian aid the Administration had promised. "How much damage control
have you been able to do on this trip?" asked Meher Bokhari, a television-news-show host, at the end of Clinton's
meeting with Pakistani women. The Secretary seemed nonplussed by the bluntness of the question. "I don't know," she
said. "I hope some."

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760165 Date: 06/30/2015
Afterward, I asked Bokhari to answer her own question. "Well, this trip was long overdue," she said. "The Pakistani
people really needed to talk to an American about our concerns the strings attached to aid programs, the drone
attacks, their history of support for the military dictatorship. And it needs to be followed up. But if you ask me about the
damage control" she paused, thinking it through "I'd have to say a lot. She accomplished a lot."
In the end, though, Clinton's success will be determined by whether she can expand her role beyond public diplomat.
She will have to become a more sure-handed negotiator and, most important, a trusted adviser to a President who
knows where he wants to go in the world but hasn't quite figured out how to get there.

Subject: Strategic Communications for Pakistan
Hello Madame Secretary. I hope you have a productive trip to Pakistan. I wanted to let you know that Ambassador
Haqqani asked me to submit a proposal to help the Government of Pakistan strengthen its communications with the
Pakistani public.
You may recall that my firm did similar hands-on work in Lebanon. The idea is to enhance the Government's internal
capacity to raise public awareness of its accomplishments, build support for its policies, and demonstrate the benefits of
democratic governance.
With stronger communications, they'd obviously be in a better position to convey the benefits of the US-Pakistan
relationship. We've followed Pakistani media coverage of Kerry-Lugar -- with more strategic communications
management by the Government, that could have been a positive story.
(The anti-American forces have used the same messages to attack US aid packages for at least 10 years. It was easy to
see the attacks coming.)
Communications help won't solve the immediate political crisis, but it could be one useful element of a larger strategic
communications strategy.

I understand there's a strategic communications working group focused on Pakistan. Would you like me to meet with
anyone to discuss this idea? I'm told Ashley Bommer is working on it. (I don't know her).
By the way - we're making headway on our campaign for Global Women's Issues - hope to have more to report soon!

Here's some general background info on FFF from NEA.
The gender initiative has potential but right now it's just a framework. It's going to take leadership. There are so many
good practices in the region that could be shared -- Morocco's family law reform being an excellent example.
Hi Melanne,
I don't have electronic access to all documents, but attached are a few documents that might be helpful. Please let me

I'm at a gathering In Italy on Beijing's unfinished agenda with many of your friends -- a group as diverse as Yunus and
Tina Brown. You have gotten so many plaudits for your honest engagement in Pakistan.
I'm sure it brings back many memories to be in Marrekesh. The women in Morocco have achieved a great deal,
especially with the family code reform -- and they have had the support of the King. The gender initiative idea that is
part of the FFF is still unformed. I think if you say positive things about its potential, it could make a difference for how it
goes forward and we can help.
You make us proud.

The Berlin event is personally meaningful for me, not least because I was, in 1986, when I was a reporter for the
Washington Post, detained and held in a cell inside the Berlin Wall, after spending a night with dissidents in the east
(who wound up being the leaders of New Forum and overthrew the regime). Have fun at the AdIon (William Shirer's old

The task was more arduous than expected. Unlike all the other participants in what is expected to be the largest trade
fair in history, the US administration is barred by federal law from spending a single public dollar on global trade fairs.
Mrs Clinton, who has extensive experience at fundraising as a presidential and senatorial candidate, was also prevented
from asking for money herself.
The bureaucratic obstacles were made worse by the fact the Chinese had already tapped large US companies, such as
Cisco and Coca-Cola, to spend money on their own corporate pavilions, which will face their national counterparts
across the river around the fair in Shanghai. The situation was retrieved when three companies - Chevron, GE and
PepsiCo - were persuaded to put up $5m (3.4m, 3m) each. So far $46m has been pledged.
Mrs Clinton's emphasis on getting a US pavilion contrasted strongly with the attitude of the Bush administration. Some
even referred disparagingly to the "Chi-comms" - an old-fashioned abbreviation for Chinese communists. "The state
department basically saw it as a lost cause," says one state department official. "Some people laughed when they heard
Hillary wanted to do this."
Shanghai has huge hopes for the Expo, which it sees as a chance to cement the city's global brand as an international
financial centre and modern metropolis. With an official budget of Rmb28.6bn ($4.2bn) and 70m expected visitors over
the six months, the Expo has been marketed as the sort of coming-out party for Shanghai that last year's Olympics was
for Beijing - and an event to rival the great 19th century world fairs in London, Paris and Chicago.
Given such heady expectations for what will be the world's largest fair, the absence of the US would have been
considered a huge slight and a loss of face for the Chinese. Mindful of how much it mattered to the Chinese, Mrs Clinton
saw it as an opportunity to build their trust. During strategic and economic talks with Chinese counterparts in
Washington last summer, Mrs Clinton vowed she would get it done even if she had to "build it myself, brick by brick".
Mrs Clinton was also backed by John Huntsman, the US ambassador to China and former governor of Utah, who
repeatedly told Washington how much symbolic value it would bring to China.
Mrs Clinton, who will be with the US president on his state visit next week, is expected to visit the site and may be in a
position to announce that all the money has been raised.

You will participate in the Sixth Annual Forum for the Future and deliver a speech
that will highlight the importance of partnership within and across societies to
address common issues and elaborate on the steps the United States has taken to
enact the President's Cairo vision. This year's co-chairs, Italy and Morocco, and
civil-society groups selected political, economic, and social themes for discussion,
the latter of which includes issues such as education and the empowerment of
women. Your participation in the Forum shows continued U.S. support for
indigenous efforts of reform and development, and reinforces the importance
the U.S. attaches to greater cooperation between Broader Middle East and
North Africa (BMENA) governments and civil-society organizations in the
region.
KEY OBJECTIVES/ANNOTATED AGENDA:
I.
Opening Session
The Forum's co-chairs, Moroccan Foreign Minister Fassi Fihri and Italian
Foreign Minister Frattini, will deliver opening remarks. You will then deliver
remarks for approximately 15-20 minutes.
Theme 1 Political Reform / Local Governance and Democracy
The key to advancing and sustaining progress is action on the local level; civil
society groups and governments must develop effective working relationships
to benefit their citizens. While expanding the role of civil society is a long-term
effort between the citizens of the BMENA countries and their governments, we see
progress in some areas, including increased women's political participation, such
as in Morocco and Kuwait. The region's civil society continues to work toward
broadening the space for citizens to participate actively in public affairs,
particularly at the local level. Regrettably, some governments in the region have
sought to curtail the essential freedoms of expression and association. The United
States supports opening the political space for civil society to contribute ideas and
priorities to government policy-makers in shaping the future of the BMENA
countries.

Re: Berlin speeches
Below are my notes for speeches in Berlin. The themes I stress are these: the importance of Berlin and the Brandenburg
Gate as symbols of freedom; the weight of history (always felt by Germans); the contribution of the US and the salience
of the Western alliance; the meaning of 1989 to today and especially the continuity of the Western alliance; and segue
from past to future.
What I have not done here but might be added are references to Angela Merkel (a courageous woman from the east
who embodies the highest values of the West); and specific policies. Those can be fitted in.
So, some ideas and language:
Twenty years ago the wall fell. Here, in Berlin, the moment when tens of thousands of citizens tore it down with
hammers and picks and bare hands is called "Die Wende," a phrase that means more than simply a change but a turning
point in history. It was not only a turning point for Germany and Europe but also for the United States because the
wallthe reason for its construction and the reason for its destructionis central to our common historyand to our
common future.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760179 Date: 06/30/2015
Richard von Weizsaecker said, "As long as the Brandenburg Gate is closed, the German question will remain open."
Today I can say with finality, the German question is closed, because the Brandenburg Gate is wide open! The gate is
open, Europe is open, and our future together is open.
In the forty years from the Berlin airlift to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Atlantic partnership proved itself the most
successful alliance for freedom in history. That alliance was, is and shall be the crowning achievement of American
foreign policy. And the German American relationship has always served as its foundation. Our alliance represents the
reconciliation of former enemies, an inspiration to other peoples and continents devastated by war and hatred, and it
must never be taken for granted.
In the twenty years since the fall of the wall we have created architecture for an enduring peace. Instead of a wall we
have built a gateway to the future. President Kennedy said in 1963 that in the future free men everywhere will say, "Ich
bin em n Berliner." Today Berlin has gained a new and even more powerful meaning. Forever into the future, the opening
of this Gate will be the symbol of the return of the dream of freedom, not only to Berlin and Germany, but to the entire
world.
The Gate, we must remember, was not built as a symbol of freedom. And each of the tyrannies that used the Gate as a
symbol believed it represented their eternal power. The Gate was first erected as a symbol against the French
Revolution; then it became a symbol of the imperial ambitions of Napoleon who marched his army through. It was a
symbol of Prussian militarism and monarchy. It was seized by the Nazi Party as the symbol of its 1000 year rule. And
then it became a symbol of the Communist totalitarianism that built a wall to separate the people of Berlin as though
freedom could be contained in only one part of the city. Here, in Berlin, the Cold War was coldest.
We celebrate the fact that the wall that marred this proud city was taken down by the world's most enthusiastic
wrecking crew. The United States always believed in the freedom of Berlin because we believed in the future of
freedom. The courageous citizens of East Germany, Poland and other nations of the Communist bloc demonstrated their
dedication to free and peaceful solution of conflicts through their stand against dictatorship. America stood resolutely as
an ally at every moment of this struggle and moved swiftly to help the peoples of Europe reunite after 1989.
We celebrate the steadiness of purpose, the restraint and respect for ultimate goals that allowed the Cold War to end in
peace. For how the victory was won was essential to the triumph. 1989 was special. It was that rarest of historical
events: a revolution that did not descend into violence. As a result the Gate survives not as a cautionary monument to
history's darkest moments but to its brightest. Today we celebrate the revolution of 1989, the turning point that
transformed the Brandenburg Gate into the symbol of the hope of democracy and the promise of freedom.
Berliner Luft, the air of Berlin, has always been unique. I can feel and smell the spirit of freedom in your streets. The
great American poet Carl Sandburg called Berlin the Chicago of Europe. Chicago is where I was born and raised. I can
sense the same energy, openness and dedication to hard work in both great cities. Another Chicagoan, President Barack
Obama, was drawn to Berlin last July, a city that he said made him feel like a citizen of the world and a citizen of the
future.
I was very proud to visit our new Embassy at the Brandenburg Gate, located exactly where the Wall used to run. Our
presence here will forever underscore our determination that the spark of freedom from this city in 1989 will help light
the torches of freedom throughout the world.
The revolution of 1989 did not mark the end of history. Having made history together, we are summoned to secure
freedom for future generations. As vital at the beginning of the 21st century as it was in the last half of the 20th, the
Western alliance is called to new tasks. The dreams of 1989 reached farand have farther to reach. Old hatreds and
conflictsin the Balkins, the Caucauses, in the Middle East, East Asia, and Africastill simmer. We have much to
demonstrate what we have learned from the last century. Without freedom, without the rule of law, without the
opportunity for people to support themselves and their families without basic human rights-- anger, aggression and
violence will prevail.

Today we are faced with difficult and often dangerous conflicts arising not from conflicts between nations but within
them, conflicts exploited by zealots who make the false claim that violence will purify the world and open the gates of
heaven. Once zealots tried to use this Gate to symbolize that message. But through the courage and determination of
the people of Berlin and their stalwart allies, this Gate now stands for a true revolution of the spirit. The long twilight
struggle to tear down this wall to make Europe whole and free inspires us, in this new century, to help other peoples
gain the same measure of security, respect and progress.
We need Berlin more than ever today. We need your courage, your fortitude, your commitment to the rights of men
and womenwe need your example. We are hardly at the end of the history of the West. Standing here, where a wall
once stood but is no more, in the light from the Gate, we have learned from history's deepest lessons. Our alliance,
linked by shared struggle, dedicated to the ideals of freedom and democracy, strong from the world we have built, now
faces a new world of challenges. And we are ready to meet and conquer them. We know it has been done before. We
are free menand womenand proud to say, We are all Berliners.

That should tell you quite a bit huh?" he said.
Cameron will be angered by the attack, and what it implies for Tory relations with the rest of Europe although in the
short term he will be more concerned to ensure his strategy of abandoning a referendum on the Lisbon treaty does not
provoke cries of betrayal on his backbenches.
Hague reacted to the French criticism by insisting that Lellouche's comments did not represent the true reception of the
Tories' plans in Europe.
"That is not how we are seen across Europe," he told BBC2's Newsnight, adding his party had established good relations
with Sarkozy's party.
"I don't think you will find that's representative of the reaction in Paris or other European capitals," he added.

Cheryl,
As of this hour of Thursday night there is no deal on an ironclad, substantive, political platform of national solidarity and
governance reform, in return for Abdullah's gracious concession which would obviate the constitutional and political
need for a problematic 2nd round.
Karl and I remain in close touch with the candidates as they continue their engagement. But short of a miracle, there
will be no such deal at least until Friday evening or Saturday morning, if then.
Hence, as we understand the exigencies of our Boss's travel sked, it appears to be time to pull the plug: we won't be
recommending before our Friday evening that she make a stop in Kabul on Saturday. The default remains: no Kabul
stop.
Nonetheless, Abdullah has now set Saturday as the date for his address to the nation, and Karzai clearly wants both for
him to concede, and to attract a visit of the Secretary. The best scenario would have been an announcement in the
presence of the Secretary, as a trusted witness to whom the parties would be more or less politically accountable. If we

Re: Latest on EU presidency
The political timing on the EU presidency is accelerating. Sarkozy and Merkel are meeting tonight (October 18) to discuss
it. The Czech constitutional court will issue its verdict on the legality of the Lisbon treaty on November 3. Shortly after,
perhaps that week, before you meet with Merkel on November 8-9, there may be an EU Council meeting to decide the
matter. So you may want to weigh in before then.
Tony is somewhat downcast on his chances. (He met with Jim Hoagland of the Washington Post yesterday; his mood
was described to me.) The Tories have ramped up their campaign against himnot only do they not want him but they
also do not want an effective EU president. Cameron has come down on the side of the anti-EU wing of his party on this,
an easy move. In an intriguing complication, there's talk now of David Miliband becoming EU foreign secretary if Tony
does not become EU president. Miliband denied he was interested and endorsed Tony. This is part of the anti-Blair
campaign ginned up by the Tories, extended to hurt Miliband if they can. Jonathan Powell is less gloomy than Tony,
thinks everything is still in play, which is why your part in this may yet be important.

We had a little fun at today's briefing. Our friends in the media have been bugging us regarding your holiday plans, so
we announced your departure from Washington in the following way:
"...And finally, a few of you have asked about the schedule of the Secretary of State over the next few days. I can tell
you this morning the Secretary departed Washington and she stopped at the North Pole for an important bilateral
meeting with a well known international figure. During the meeting, in a formal demarche, sung to the tune of Twelve
Days of Christmas, the Secretary outlined her aspirations for the new year. They include, and feel free to hum along:
open and accountable governments, Middle East negotiations, more civilians in Afghanistan, empowerment of women,
fewer nuclear weapons, respect for human rights, resolution of historic grievances, treaties through the United States
Senate, Six-Party Talks, dialogue with Iran, enough food for people of the world to eat, climate change legislation, and
lastly, a championship for the Boston Red Sox. Okay, that last one's not on her list, but Harold Koh and I thought it was
important that we mention that here."
It is a privilege to be a part of your team. We wish you, the President and Chelsea all the best during the holiday season
and look forward to great achievements in 2010, with one tiny exception.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762738 Date: 06/30/2015
Anti-gay laws sweeping through East Africa have sparked a debate in the United States about the possible influence of
American evangelical leaders and lawmakers with strong ties in that region. U.S. activists are also shedding new light on
the risks that gays face in East Africa.
In his book called The Family, American journalist Jeff Sharlet criticizes a group of influential American Christian leaders
and conservative lawmakers with close ties to politicians in East Africa.
He accuses them of treating some of the countries they deal with as social and political experiments.
"It has become sort of a Frankenstein's monster and is the family going to take responsibility for the empowerment they
have given to some of these politicians?," asked Jeff Sharlet.
In his book, Sharlet specifically refers to politicians in Uganda proposing an anti-gay law that would criminalize
homosexuality. The law, which could be passed within weeks despite international condemnation, includes possible
punishment by death.
Anti-gay laws were recently passed in Burundi, are being discussed in Rwanda, and could soon be expanded in Kenya
and Tanzania.
The American group Sharlet calls The Family is also known as The Fellowship. It organizes an annual National Prayer
Breakfast with the U.S. president and foreign guests, but besides that activity shuns publicity and does not openly list its
members.
But Sharlet says more American reporters are looking into the group and its alleged ties to Africa. These include helping
African politicians with money so they can push socially conservative agendas.
"We see reporters in Iowa, in Pennsylvania, and in Oklahoma, going to their elected representatives who have a link to
this whole thing and saying 'tell us about the link'," he said. "They are not accusing them of anything, they are saying,
'You have a relationship with the Ugandan government, what is the nature of that relationship? And, are you going to
use that influence to oppose this legislation that seems to be supported by some of your allies?"
Religious leaders like Rick Warren have also been under the microscope. He is the senior pastor of the California-based
Saddleback church, which is active in both Uganda and Rwanda.
After being questioned about his role by U.S. media, Warren issued a video message on the Internet, denying his
support for the law in Uganda.
"As an American pastor, it is not my role to interfere with the politics of other nations, but it is my role to speak out on
moral issues and it is my role to shepherd other pastors who look to me for guidance, and it is my role to correct lies and
errors and false reports when others associate my name with a law that I had nothing to do with, [and which] I
completely oppose and I vigorously condemn," said Rick Warren. "I am referring to the pending law under consideration
by the Ugandan parliament, known as the Anti-Homosexuality Bill."
Rwanda's parliament is also working to pass a law which would criminalize homosexuality but Warren has yet to address
his church's role in that matter. In 2005, he called Rwanda a "purpose driven nation." Warren went with dozens of
American evangelicals to hold meetings with government ministers, lawmakers and donate materials to churches across
Rwanda.
Several American lawmakers who have been linked to the Fellowship, like Nevada Senator John Ensign have called the
Ugandan law proposal "outrageous". But others like Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, who went to Uganda in 2004,
have said they do not know enough about the bill to comment.

The executive director of the U.S.-based International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, Cary Alan Johnson,
welcomes some of the questions now being asked.
"It is a debate that has to happen and we are glad it is happening," said Cary Alan Johnson. "Rwanda and Uganda are
both countries with deeply spiritual people and as of late we have understood that some of the more conservative
elements in the United States have been funding the most violent and homophobic discourses about homosexuality."
Johnson says those seeking to push an agenda should understand the consequences of their actions. He warns anti-gay
laws could worsen already high HIV levels in east Africa.
"The impact of these laws on HIV prevention is extremely worrisome to us," he said. "Laws we are talking about in
Uganda, Rwanda, will make it impossible for groups to do HIV education that targets men who have sex with men or
that targets bisexual people and we know that there is a strong impact of HIV on this community and on society in
general."
Lisa Laurel Weinberg, from the Massachusetts Lutheran Social Services Human Rights Protection Project, says the
situation is already very difficult. In her other job as an asylum attorney, she recently helped a young Ugandan woman
win asylum to the United States. The woman's apartment had been raided by police while she was inside with her
girlfriend.
"The police broke in and brought them to the police station and raped them in what is called a corrective rape," said Lisa
Laurel Weinberg. "It is when males of authority try and correct lesbianism through rape."
But Weinberg warns trying to fight the new laws from the outside is very complicated.
"I got an e-mail yesterday that said be really careful and check with Ugandans before you do any advocacy from the
West, because us imposing our values, they are really sensitive to the whole colonialism history, so that the email
cautioned be careful what you do and let it come from them," she said.
Some prominent politicians and journalists in East Africa have called homosexuality the "white man's disease." Pro-gay
groups in the region, which are mostly underground, say they are becoming increasingly afraid to ask for help, and
believe outside interference could worsen the persecution they face.

will not solve the whole problem," she said. But experience shows us that
where broad-based development occurs, people are more likely to demand a say
in securing their futures, and governments are more likely to have the
resources to maintain the strong institutions, including reliable police and
fair courts, that help ensure the consistent protection of rights. Where
people are given the right to speak freely, to participate in their nation's
political process and have access to basic information about government,
sustainable development is [DELETE: much] more likely to occur. At the same
time, democracies without development do not last. These are mutually
reinforcing tracks, and the Obama Administration is committed to pursuing
both simultaneously.
As President Obama said in his Nobel lecure, "engagement with repressive
regimes lacks the satisfying purity of indignation." But the Post's
overheated outrage ignores the [DELETE: practical] lessons learned by
generations of men and women who worked to advance human rights around the
world.
[DELETE: And t]To suggest that Secretary Clinton somehow provided excuses to
rights-abusing dictators in a speech in which she forcefully critized
specific abuses across the world, is simply not credible. Far from being an
excuse for any regime, this is an approach that pushes governments to do
more to advance civil and political rights and to ensure that democracy
actually delivers a measure of prosperity and opportunity for all. It's the
right approach for 21st century.

Fyi - we should do handwritten notes to them
I thought I would share this heartfelt message from Patricia Lamego de Teixeira Soares, the head of Brazil's Central
Authority, the office responsible for Hague Convention abduction cases. You will see that in spite of our efforts to
protect the son, the Brazilian family chose to make a spectacle outside the Consulate this morning by parading Sean
through a crowd. Ms. Lamego recently visited the U.S. where she met with members of Congress and others to explain
all that the Brazilian Central Authority was doing to reunite Sean and his father under the Hague Convention. The
delays we saw in this case were largely the result of a wealthy, well connected family able to influence court decisions.
We are all relieved and thrilled to see this long overdue but very happy ending. I should also highlight the amazing
work done by US Mission Brazil. The consular staff, Charge, Acting DCM (Marie Damour, the Consul General in Brasilia),
LegATT, RSO, and a host of others all played a role in this successful return. My OCS DAS, Michele Bond, and her
dedicated team also played a big role in communicating with David, his lawyers, Congress, and the press. We had
Members of Congress, former Assistant Secretaries and US Ambassadors all pitching in. While there were
disagreements at times over tactics, we all agreed that we were working towards the same goal: the safe return of
Sean.
We particularly appreciate the strong support from the Secretary. Many people will try to take credit for today's happy
reunion but it was the Secretary's continued concern and interest in this case that made the difference. We could not
have provided a better gift to David Goldman during this season of giving.

Subject: END OF THE GOLDMAN CASE
Importance: High
Dear All,
The Goldman case finally came to an end, and despite the efforts of all involved the hand over of the child to the US
Consulate in Rio was transformed into a deplorable display of the child walking in the streets with the maternal family,
being exposed to the media and to the public that surrounded the consulate.
I'm sorry this had to happen but it seems that Mr. Sergio Tostes, the maternal family's attorney, did not feel at all
embarrased to use and expose the child, who was probably under severe stress, in order to gather support for his
position. This most despicable man is not accepting the fact that, despite his life long relationships with influential
authorities in Brazil, he was unable to win the case and Sean is finally being reunited with his only real father.
I just hope that David and the Goldman family find enough time to recover their lives and their relationship with Sean.
They need time more than anything else and now it is up to the US government to guarantee that David Goldman will

not have to face the maternal family once again in the US courts where, according to Mr. Tostes last declaration to the
Brazilian press, he will "fight to defend the child".
Please allow David Goldman to live in peace with his son and have the life that he deserves after fighting so much for so
many years.
In my name and in the name of all the staff of the Brazilian Central Authority I wish David, Sean, and their family all the
best and a most happy life once they are finally back in the United States.
And to all of you who worked so much in support of this case, our deepest gratitude. We wish you all a Merry Christmas
and a very Happy New Year.

How do I know China wrecked the Copenhagen deal? I was in the room
As recriminations fly post-Copenhagen, one writer offers a fly-on-the-wall account of how talks failed
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762860 Date: 06/30/2015
even mention our own targets?" demanded a furious Angela Merkel. Australia's prime minister, Kevin Rudd, was
annoyed enough to bang his microphone. Brazil's representative too pointed out the illogicality of China's position. Why
should rich countries not announce even this unilateral cut? The Chinese delegate said no, and I watched, aghast, as
Merkel threw up her hands in despair and conceded the point. Now we know why because China bet, correctly, that
Obama would get the blame for the Copenhagen accord's lack of ambition.
China, backed at times by India, then proceeded to take out all the numbers that mattered. A 2020 peaking year in
global emissions, essential to restrain temperatures to 2C, was removed and replaced by woolly language suggesting
that emissions should peak "as soon as possible". The long-term target, of global 50% cuts by 2050, was also excised. No
one else, perhaps with the exceptions of India and Saudi Arabia, wanted this to happen. I am certain that had the
Chinese not been in the room, we would have left Copenhagen with a deal that had environmentalists popping
champagne corks popping in every corner of the world.
Strong position
So how did China manage to pull off this coup? First, it was in an extremely strong negotiating position. China didn't
need a deal. As one developing country foreign minister said to me: "The Athenians had nothing to offer to the
Spartans." On the other hand, western leaders in particular but also presidents Lula of Brazil, Zuma of South Africa,
Caldenin of Mexico and many others were desperate for a positive outcome. Obama needed a strong deal perhaps
more than anyone. The US had confirmed the offer of $100bn to developing countries for adaptation, put serious cuts
on the table for the first time (17% below 2005 levels by 2020), and was obviously prepared to up its offer.
Above all, Obama needed to be able to demonstrate to the Senate that he could deliver China in any global climate
regulation framework, so conservative senators could not argue that US carbon cuts would further advantage Chinese
industry. With midterm elections looming, Obama and his staff also knew that Copenhagen would be probably their only
opportunity to go to climate change <http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/climate-change> talks with a strong
mandate. This further strengthened China's negotiating hand, as did the complete lack of civil society political pressure
on either China or India. Campaign groups never blame developing countries for failure; this is an iron rule that is never
broken. The Indians, in particular, have become past masters at co-opting the language of equity ("equal rights to the
atmosphere") in the service of planetary suicide and ieftish campaigners and commentators are hoist with their own
petard.
With the deal gutted, the heads of state session concluded with a final battle as the Chinese delegate insisted on
removing the 1.5C target so beloved of the small island states and low-lying nations who have most to lose from rising
seas. President Nasheed of the Maldives, supported by Brown, fought valiantly to save this crucial number. "How can
you ask my country to go extinct?" demanded Nasheed. The Chinese delegate feigned great offence and the number
stayed, but surrounded by language which makes it all but meaningless. The deed was done.
China's game
All this raises the question: what is China's game? Why did China, in the words of a UK-based analyst who also spent
hours in heads of state meetings, "not only reject targets for itself, but also refuse to allow any other country to take on
binding targets?" The analyst, who has attended climate conferences for more than 15 years, concludes that China
wants to weaken the climate regulation regime now "in order to avoid the risk that it might be called on to be more
ambitious in a few years' time".
This does not mean China is not serious about global warming. It is strong in both the wind and solar industries. But
China's growth, and growing global political and economic dominance, is based largely on cheap coal. China knows it is
becoming an uncontested superpower; indeed its newfound muscular confidence was on striking display in
Copenhagen. Its coal-based economy doubles every decade, and its power increases commensurately. its leadership will
not alter this magic formula unless they absolutely have to.
Copenhagen was much worse than just another bad deal, because it illustrated a profound shift in global geopolitics.
This is fast becoming China's century, yet its leadership has displayed that multilateral environmental governance is not
only not a priority, but is viewed as a hindrance to the new superpower's freedom of action. I left Copenhagen more
despondent than I have felt in a long time. After all the hope and all the hype, the mobilisation of thousands, a wave of
optimism crashed against the rock of global power politics, fell back, and drained away.

Sorry to bother on the Sunday before Christmas but the Echumenical Patriarch's crowd are extremely worried that he
may get arrested or otherwise harassed/attacked as a result of the 60 Minutes interview he gave which airs tonight.
Thought it was worth passing along and that you might want to get someone to pulse the Emabassy in Turkey.
Hope you are getting a little rest after one hell of a week. Notwithstanding some press whining, I thought BHO and HRC
did a fabulous job in Copenhagen and that the schedule structure has a much better chance of success than sticking with
Kyoto architecture. Congrats to all..

Dear John,
Thank you for responding to me re:the safety of the EP. Unfortunately, the 60 minutes interview has been raising
jingoistic fervor in Turkey. As I told you, the Foreign Ministry called HAH on Friday to express their dismay and concern
that He was disparaging Turkey in such a public manner. Of course, HAH expressed His love for His country, Turkey, but
reiterated the painful, laundry list of issues faced by the Greek Orthodox Christian minority. Today, many of the news
outlets in Turkey are attacking HAH saying that He has condemned Turkey's good name. One of the nationalist papers
called HAH crazy and pictured Him hanging from a cross. (see attachment) The Foreign Ministries said, acourse, that
he was sure the EP made "a slip of the tongue."
Our concern is that some nationalists will attempt to do damage to the Patriarchate or, ever worse some nut from the
Grey wolves will be let loose to hurt/kill HAH. Of course, the Government may over react once they see the full
interview. It is an honest piece of journalism - but very very tough "to face the country in the mirror". Sadly, some
Greek Nationalists fan the flames from their side as well.
I am also sending you a blog<http://www.cbsnews.com/8618-18560_1625990771.html?assetTypeld=58&messageld=8825797>which shows some of the the lunacy out there on this issue.
Fortunately, we have good friends like you and an Administration that believes in human rights, religious freedom, civil
rights and dignity of every individual. Above all, we believe in, and glorify, the manager-born Messiah whose message of
good will amongst women and men is best expressed in social/divine justice for everyone.
Thank you

Thanks for flagging this. We actually saw this last night, and Vikram and I had a conversation with Richard about it. The
report was based on interviews conducted in May-June, before the new policy change was implemented, so much of the
report is already OBE. OIG gave us the draft report in October, and SRAP/SCA/INL immediately sent a joint response to
OIG (attached), highlighting that we were already working on many of the issues highlighted in the report.
Given the change in policy and our letter to them, we found it pretty egregious that the OIG didn't report on the changes
underway or adjustments already made, as the report is being portrayed in the press as currently applicable. Michael
Keays on the Afghan desk and Peggy, who both help to oversee CN issues, are already working on a letter to OIG
expressing our strong concern about the report and the process which got us to this point, and Vikram and his team are
ginning up press points which also note that we have already begun to robustly address many of these points (I've cc'ed
them all on this).
If you'd like to talk further, I'm happy to come up to your office at some point this morning to discuss.

Have you seen the IG report on the counternarcotics program (reported in NYT) this am? We should discuss response.

I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you this past weekend regarding the custody case of Sean Goldman, the
young American boy wrongfully detained in Brazil for more than five years. As we discussed, the Administration has
long maintained that Sean should be reunited with his father David in New Jersey. I have made a point of emphasizing
this position with Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim during our many conversations, as have other U.S. Officials
with their Brazilian counterparts.
We have worked closely with the Government of Brazil to ensure it upholds its obligations under the Hague Convention
on International Child Abduction. We were quite concerned by last week's decision suspending the order reuniting Sean
with his father. We were encouraged, however, by the appeal filed last Friday by the Brazilian Solicitor General which
challenges this suspension. Like you, we are eager to learn of the outcome of this appeal. We understand a decision
could be announced shortly.
You can be assured that we will continue advocating for the reunification of Sean and his father and pressing the
Government of Brazil to ensure swift consideration of the Goldman case so that this long legal process may reach a final
conclusion without further delay. In the meantime, please be assured that the State Department as well as the U.S.
Embassy in Brasilia has been and will continue to be a resource to the Goldman family during this trying time.

Re: Anti-Gay Laws
Cheryl
It may be worth putting together a small group to think through the issue in some depth to decide whether there is a
more proactive strategy that may be possible and/or worth engaging in one or more countries :
1. Define human rights challenges around gay communities in many of our partner countries
2. Define the social political context (ie: how does civil society and the political/legislative activity converge or not
converge)
3. Potential role of Judicial response (eg: Adult Disability Act in US)
4. Role of multilateral and normative bodies
We are quietly doing this in PEPFAR over the next two months to assess whether we can work behind the politics to
increase the "safe space" for our populations seeking and/or in care (increase identification, entry and retention).

Re: Posner response to Washington Post editorial
By Michael Posner
The Post's Dec. 27 editorial ("Redefining Human Rights") on the Obama Administration's human rights and democracy
policies, and Secretary Clinton's recent speech at Georgetown in particular, misses the critical point: human rights,
democracy, and development are mutually reinforcing, not competing goals. They complement each other in the task of
making human rights a human reality.
President Roosevelt understood the fundamental link between liberty, prosperity and security, tying together freedom
of speech and worship with freedom from want and freedom from fear in his-famous "Four Freedoms" speech. At
Georgetown, Secretary Clinton articulated a 21st century vision grounded in this wisdom.
To accuse Secretary Clinton of embracing a Soviet-bloc approach to human rights because she includes development in a
discussion of democracy not only strains the bonds of credulity and common sense, it also walls off a crucial avenue for
ensuring that people can actually exercise the rights that are naturally theirs - including the rights to freedom of religion,
association, and speech-in their daily lives.
As Secretary Clinton made clear, policies that address development alone are not adequate: "Freedom doesn't come in
half measures, and partial remedies will not solve the whole problem," she said. But experience shows us that where
broad-based development occurs, people are more likely to demand a say in securing their futures, and governments
are more likely to have the resources to maintain the strong institutions, including reliable police and fair courts, that
help ensure the consistent protection of rights. Where people are given the right to speak freely, to participate in their
nation's political process and have access to basic information about government, sustainable development is more

likely to occur. At the same time, democracies without development do not last. These are mutually reinforcing tracks,
and the Obama Administration is committed to pursuing both simultaneously.
As President Obama said in his Nobel lecture, "engagement with repressive regimes lacks the satisfying purity of
indignation." But the Post's overheated outrage ignores the lessons learned by generations of men and women who
worked to advance human rights around the world.
To suggest that Secretary Clinton somehow provided excuses to rights-abusing dictators in a speech in which she
forcefully criticized specific abuses across the world, is simply not credible. Far from being an excuse for any regime, this
is an approach that pushes governments to do more to advance civil and political rights and to ensure that democracy
actually delivers a measure of prosperity and opportunity for all. That is the right approach for the Obama
Administration and for the 21st century.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Taliban insurgents had planned to use five Americans, now detained in Pakistan, who had
contacted the militants via the Internet, to carry out attacks in the U.S.-allied country, a police official said. Usman
Anwar; police chief in Sargodha, where the men were arrested this month, said emails had revealed plans for the young
men from Virginia to travel to a Pakistani nuclear power plant. "We believe that they were supposed to be used inside
Pakistan," Anwar told Reuters by telephone. "In their last email to the Taliban, we found they mentioned the Chashma
Nuclear Plant and that's why they were going to Mianwali (district)."

Apparently Ann Veneman won't be seeking second term at UNICEF. Is this something that should be considered? Should
we run this by Hillary as a possible consideration?

Sean and David Goldman have left the consulate for the airport. Wheels up likely in one hour or less.
SBU
This email is UNCLASSIFIED.
David Goldman, Rep Smith, David's attorneys and Mission personnel all safe at Consulate. Still set for 9am handover.
Consulate will allow Sergio Tostes, attorney for the Brazilian family, into the building along with Sean and his
grandmother, Silvana. We have arranged for the party to enter directly into the building via the garage. The
grandmother announced to the press her intention to "park 3 blocks away, as the consulate would not allow her in" but
press are quoting the Embassy spokesperson Orna Blum flatly contradicting that statement, emphasizing that for Sean's
emotional well-being, and in sensitivity to Silvana and David, the reunion be safe, private, and calm.

Court officials and the attorney for the GOB, Daniel Levy Alvarenga will also be at at the consulate to assist in the
turnover.
SBU
This email is UNCLASSIFIED.
It appears there will be no handover tonight. According to David's Brazilian attorney, the negotiators have broken
up, having not been able to agree on the issue of the Grandmother accompanying Sean to the U.S. on the plane (clearly,
the other side remains unaware of the source/nature of the charter flight that is pending a handover). We have
rebuffed attempts by the Brazilian family's attorney to "get clarification from the Americans" as an obvious last-ditch
ploy to once again present this as a U.S. vs Brazil issue. We have been clear to all parties that we the Mission have
absolutely no role in any negotiation between the parties and will not/not undertake any contact with the family or their
representatives.
Deadline for handover established by the President of the 2nd Regional Federal Court in Rio remains 9am Thursday
morning at the U.S. Consulate. Brazilian Central Authority confirms that the warrant authorizing enforcement of the
order has been issued and should be in the possession of law enforcement should the family not comply. BCA has
confirmed they will be in early tomorrow morning, ready to arrange enforcement should that be necessary. However,
David's attorney believes they will comply with the order and appear at the Consulate. We stand ready for multiple
scenarios.
In good news, the Brazilian Central Authority reported that the judge assigned to hear the two motions filed by
attorneys for the Brazilian family in the Superior Tribunal de Justica (STJ) has denied both motions on the merits, not just
refused to consider the motions. Links to the decisions for those who wish to read legal Portuguese are provided below.
The frequently-announced press conference by the Brazilian family/their attorney never materialized. We await
word on their next public relations foray.

I have just spoken with the Brazilian Central Authority regarding the orders imminently coming out of the office of the
President of the 2nd Regional Federal Court. He is evidently interpreting the lifting of the stay imposed at STF to mean
that the 48 hour period provided in the appellate court decision to the Brazilian family to turn over Sean to the
Consulate has started ticking again not restarted at the beginning, but resumed ticking. According to the Court, the
deadline for turnover at the Consulate falls at 6am local time on Thursday morning, December 24. Because of the early
hour, he will evidently order the family to turn over Sean at the consulate NO LATER than 9am on Thursday, December
24. However, he will also recommend, not order, that the family turn over Sean at the Consulate today/tonight in order
to permit him to travel to the U.S. on an overnight flight and spend Christmas with the family in the U.S.
There is current debate ongoing regarding the timing of the turnover. Daniel Levy of the AGU office in Rio will evidently
take the lead in negotiating that turnover, in conjunction with David's legal team.
Press contacts are stating that Sergio Tostes, the attorney for the Brazilian family, has called a press conference at 2pm
local time (11am DC time) to announce voluntary turnover. No further details on that yet.

Will pass more information as soon as we have it. Planning for all contingencies.
SBU
This email is UNCLASSIFIED.
Interpol office in Brasilia has assured BCA and the Embassy LEGAT that they are fully aware of the status of the
case and are ready to provide support if Sean is not turned over. They will have action if the family attempts to hide
Sean.
We have contacted WHA Press and CA Press separately to discuss timing to release statements if/when we are
successful with wheels up.
We have discussed detailed contingency plans should the police be called upon to go to the family residence to
enforce the order if voluntary handover does not occur. Also have plans in place to supplement personnel in Rio should
this extend past today.
We have a general sense of the timing of potential events: We expect to have more clarity from the attorneys as
to whether or not voluntary handover will occur around noon/1pm local time, which is 9/10 DC time. Should police
enforcement be required, that will likely mean mid/late afternoon local time. We will advise asap if this timeline shifts
(as it is likely to do, this being Brazil.)

I have just heard from the team in Rio that there will be no return enforcement this evening:
Tomorrow morning between 8-9, David Goldman's Brazilian attorney will go to the court to obtain the warrant
enforcing the return of Sean Goldman to the U.S. He will wait there pending coordination with relevant police and
judicial authorities to ensure that everything is ready, and they will depart for the family compound to take custody of
Sean.
Consulate General Rio will have cars ready at 9am for transport, and the team will be ready at the airport to
facilitate departure.
David's attorney has spoken to judicial authorities and believes that the motions filed at ST1 will not be accepted by
the court, so will not interfere with the return. This does not preclude some last minute legal maneuvers, but he seems
confident that the decision by STF will effectively cut off other avenues. We will advise asap if this changes.
Blackberry service does appear to be down, so if there are any questions tonight, please contact me directly on my cell
at
as I am getting offline in approximately five mins. We are 3 hours ahead of DC time at the
moment, but please do not hesitate to call.

Subject: RE: Goldman Decision - update as of 00:45 local time
Given the hour here, I am less optimistic that we will pull off a return tonight, but we are still working to that end.
The Brazilian Central Authority confirms that the office of Regional Federal Court President Paulo Espirito Santo
has received the decision of STF President Gilmar Mendes. It is Paulo E-S who will be responsible for enforcing the
decision from Mendes, i.e. the return of Sean Goldman to the U.S.
BCA has promised to reinforce for Interpol the urgent necessity of police in Rio monitoring the location of Sean
Goldman. Embassy LEGAT office is double-tracking. We cannot, of course, ask them to enforce anything until the
proper judicial authority has sent them instructions, but we strongly urge them to be prepared.
BCA has turned over operational jurisdiction to Daniel Levy, from the AGU's office in Rio, to coordinate with David
Goldman's attorney and with the court in Rio. I have asked David's attorney to try and get some understanding from
Mr. Levy as to the timeline we can expect to see in this case.
We do not know if the judge from the Regional Federal Court intends to issue an execution order from his home
tonight at this late hour, or if he will wait until opening of business tomorrow morning. Note that 00B here generally
means 10am for a court. This only underscores the need to ensure that there is sufficient monitoring of Sean's
whereabouts.
We do not know how Judge Paulo E-S will interpret an "immediate" return order it could mean right this instant,
or it could mean some brief period of time where the family is ordered/encouraged to turn Sean over at the Consulate
or some other site.
We are working to obtain some sense of whether this is likely to happen tonight, or if we are better served getting
some rest now and starting first thing 00B which for us means 7-8am.
We have not had confirmation regarding the resolution of the motions in STJ, but frankly, I don't foresee receiving
an answer on that before mid-day Wednesday.

Subject: Goldman Decision - update as of 22:50
PLEASE NOTE I am aware of the intense interest back in DC about this case and will be passing information just as soon
as I receive it. This means that in most cases, I will not be able to confirm the information. Will try to identify credible
sources vice what rumor/press/others are saying.
Brazilian Central Authority (BCA) coordinating with David's attorney and the Federal attorneys in Rio to ensure that the
President of the Regional Federal Court in Rio has a copy of the STF order and is submitting the official request to federal
police to enforce. BCA says they still believe they can effect the turnover tonight and are at their office working to that
end. If/when the Federal Police enforce, their stated preference is to go to the airport and effect the handover there.
This is a scenario we've planned for.
BCA has mentioned the STJ motions filed by the Brazilian family as a potential obstacle, but thru their contacts in
Mendes' office at STF, have heard that Mendes intends to reach out to the reporting judge at STJ to resolve that issue.
As mentioned in an earlier update today, we have not had any confirmation that the STJ judge has accepted to hear the
motions filed by the Brazilian family, and has the option to decline to hear them.
If the family sees the writing on the wall (frankly unlikely at this point) and agrees to abide by the order of immediate
return, then in theory the handover would happen at the consulate and there is a plan in place for that.
Plans in motion to prevent them slipping away and Patricia Lamego is working with the police as we speak. Federal
Police repeatedly assured us they were prepped and ready to move but could take no action absent an order. They
know now there is one, so BCA will get them moving.
If the handover occurred tonight, I'm told we need 3 hours to get the plane off the ground, so overnight in the hotel.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762967 Date: 06/30/2015
Marie, if there is a handover tonight: that would be at the Consulate in Rio, right? Grandparents would bring Sean and
he'd spend the night...in David's hotel or at the Consulate?
But if handover is delayed until morning, the family may try to slip away tonight. Can we ask the police to prevent that?
STF Pres. Gilmar Mendes upheld the motion by the AGU and David's attorney requesting he overturn the stay
imposed by Justice Marco Aurelio, based upon a motion filed by the maternal grandmother.
The order at first read appears to require immediate return of Sean.
The BCA is calling the Interpol director responsible for enforcing such actions to see if they will get set to move.
HOWEVER, BCA does not/not yet have a copy of the order, and it is the judge in the lower court in Rio that would
generally receive the order from STF and then contact DPF to enforce.
Sergio Brito, the prosecutor who has assisted David's attorney on the Hague case is attempting to contact the
judge in the court of first instance in an effort to move as quickly as possible. Note that the court of first instance is on
recess and the "duty court" judge will need to take action, but magistrates in Rio are keenly aware of the status of the
case and may be prepared to move this evening.
BCA is hoping to effect handover tonight, and will plan to send their psychologist to Rio if the handover must
happen tomorrow morning.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Taliban insurgents had planned to use five Americans, now detained in Pakistan, who had

Anwar, police chief in Sargodha, where the men were arrested this month, said emails had revealed plans for the young

Pakistan," Anwar told Reuters by telephone. "In their last email to the Taliban, we found they mentioned the Chashma

Dear Cheryl,
I want you to know that last month a friend of mine convinced me to apply for a fellowship at Harvard/Institute of
Politics, and I did. A few days ago, I got a call from the Program Director who informed me that I was accepted. I am very
excited about it and think it will be a very good opportunity to share my experience
with students who
are learning theories about democracy and development.
Cheryl, I am going to be bold and ask you if you would accept my invitation to come and speak to the students while I
am there. I am asked and encouraged to invite important personalities who can talk of their experience in government
and I thought of you. I would be thrilled if you accept. I will be there from end of January until the beginning of May next
year. I have also invited President Moreno of IDB who accepted and I am waiting for an answer from Michaelle Jean, the
General Governor of Canada.
I wish you the very best, to you and your family for Christmas and the New Year. I hope our roads cross again as we
thrive to better the lives of so many people who deserve it. Please extend my wished to the Secretary of State. I admire
her and her work.
Warm regards,

Re: Latest on Goldman Decision

I just spoke with Marie Damour, CG at Embassy Brasilia, who provided an update on the Goldman case.
A scheduled 1100 EST press conference by the attorney for the Brazilian family did not take place. Damour reports the
attorneys from both sides are still negotiating the details of the handover, as is the attorney for the Government of
Brasil. According to the 2nd Regional Federal Court, the deadline for the turnover at the Consulate falls at 0600 local on
12/24. However, there may be a push to turn Sean over to the consulate today in order to permit him to travel to the
U.S. on an overnight flight.

Dan,
I just got off the phone with Embassy Brasilia Charge Lisa Kubiske, who provided a recap of current developments in the
Goldman child custody case. Summarizing:
-- David Goldman's Brazilian lawyer and the family's attorney are currently attempting to negotiate an "voluntary
return."
--If those talks fail, Goldman will request the Brazilian police execute the involuntary return ordered yesterday by a
Brazilian judge. This outcome would create a negative PR climate.
--Brazilian police "think" they know the boy's whereabouts.
--Return to US likely will occur on an NBC News-chartered aircraft, as Goldman has inked some sort of exclusive deal w/
NBC for the story.
--Post has been working with WHA and PD on a possible S statement.
Craig Kelly just called in for the latest developments, which I passed.

Ms. Damour,
Do you have any updated information to report? As you could imagine, there is significant high-level interest in the
Department on the Goldman case, and I am hoping to brief the Executive Secretary with the latest developments at
0745 EST.
Thanks.

Senior Watch Officer
I have just heard from the team in Rio that there will be no return enforcement this evening:
Tomorrow morning between 8-9, David Goldman's Brazilian attorney will go to the court to obtain the warrant
enforcing the return of Sean Goldman to the U.S. He will wait there pending coordination with relevant police and
judicial authorities to ensure that everything is ready, and they will depart for the family compound to take custody of
Sean.
Consulate General Rio will have cars ready at 9am for transport, and the team will be ready at the airport to
facilitate departure.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762853 Date: 06/30/2015
David's attorney has spoken to judicial authorities and believes that the motions filed at STJ will not be accepted by
the court, so will not interfere with the return. This does not preclude some last minute legal maneuvers, but he seems
confident that the decision by STF will effectively cut off other avenues. We will advise asap if this changes.

Blackberry service does appear to be down, so if there are any questions tonight, please contact me directly on my cell
at
as I am getting offline in approximately five mins. We are 3 hours ahead of DC time at the
moment, but please do not hesitate to call.
Given the hour here, I am less optimistic that we will pull off a return tonight, but we are still working to that end.
The Brazilian Central Authority confirms that the office of Regional Federal Court President Paulo Espirito Santo
has received the decision of STF President Gilmar Mendes. It is Paulo E-S who will be responsible for enforcing the
decision from Mendes, i.e. the return of Sean Goldman to the U.S.
BCA has promised to reinforce for Interpol the urgent necessity of police in Rio monitoring the location of Sean
Goldman. Embassy LEGAT office is double-tracking. We cannot, of course, ask them to enforce anything until the
proper judicial authority has sent them instructions, but we strongly urge them to be prepared.
BCA has turned over operational jurisdiction to Daniel Levy, from the AGU's office in Rio, to coordinate with David
Goldman's attorney and with the court in Rio. I have asked David's attorney to try and get some understanding from
Mr. Levy as to the timeline we can expect to see in this case.
We do not know if the judge from the Regional Federal Court intends to issue an execution order from his home
tonight at this late hour, or if he will wait until opening of business tomorrow morning. Note that 00B here generally
means 10am for a court. This only underscores the need to ensure that there is sufficient monitoring of Sean's
whereabouts.
We do not know how Judge Paulo E-S will interpret an "immediate" return order it could mean right this instant,
or it could mean some brief period of time where the family is ordered/encouraged to turn Sean over at the Consulate
or some other site.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762853 Date: 06/30/2015
We are working to obtain some sense of whether this is likely to happen tonight, or if we are better served getting
some rest now and starting first thing 00B which for us means 7-8am.
We have not had confirmation regarding the resolution of the motions in STJ, but frankly, I don't foresee receiving
an answer on that before mid-day Wednesday.
PLEASE NOTE I am aware of the intense interest back in DC about this case and will be passing information just as soon
as I receive it. This means that in most cases, I will not be able to confirm the information. Will try to identify credible
sources vice what rumor/press/others are saying.
Brazilian Central Authority (BCA) coordinating with David's attorney and the Federal attorneys in Rio to ensure that the
President of the Regional Federal Court in Rio has a copy of the STF order and is submitting the official request to federal
police to enforce. BCA says they still believe they can effect the turnover tonight and are at their office working to that
end. If/when the Federal Police enforce, their stated preference is to go to the airport and effect the handover there.
This is a scenario we've planned for.
BCA has mentioned the STJ motions filed by the Brazilian family as a potential obstacle, but thru their contacts in
Mendes' office at STF, have heard that Mendes intends to reach out to the reporting judge at STJ to resolve that issue.
As mentioned in an earlier update today, we have not had any confirmation that the STJ judge has accepted to hear the
motions filed by the Brazilian family, and has the option to decline to hear them.

If the family sees the writing on the wall (frankly unlikely at this point) and agrees to abide by the order of immediate
return, then in theory the handover would happen at the consulate and there is a plan in place for that.
Plans in motion to prevent them slipping away and Patricia Lamego is working with the police as we speak. Federal
Police repeatedly assured us they were prepped and ready to move but could take no action absent an order. They
know now there is one, so BCA will get them moving.
If the handover occurred tonight, I'm told we need 3 hours to get the plane off the ground, so overnight in the hotel.
Marie, if there is a handover tonight: that would be at the Consulate in Rio, right? Grandparents would bring Sean and
he'd spend the night...in David's hotel or at the Consulate?
But if handover is delayed until morning, the family may try to slip away tonight. Can we ask the police to prevent that?
STF Pres. Gilmar Mendes upheld the motion by the AGU and David's attorney requesting he overturn the stay
imposed by Justice Marco Aurelio, based upon a motion filed by the maternal grandmother.

family.
No details as yet on what, if anything the Brazilian family has done in response to the news from STF.
Embassy staff are in the room with David's Brazilian attorney and will report just as soon as we have any details to offer.
Please advise me if you have any specific questions we need to pose to the team.

I think I would want someone higher profile.
If she is doing this, it's likely as a response to incoming rather than as an affirmative agenda.
Not sure how I got to be the person pushing all things in this area -- think from the earlier efforts on family benefits but
as general matter - we have a reactive mechanism right now (to others, to me sending emails re Uganda (and now
Rwanda is doing same kind of anti-gay law)) etc.
This would be someone who's portfolio would be an affirmative agenda.

"We see reporters in Iowa, in Pennsylvania, and in Oklahoma, going to their elected representatives who have a link to
this whole thing and saying 'tell us about the link'," he said. "They are not accusing them of anything, they are saying,
'You have a relationship with the Ugandan government, what is the nature of that relationship? And, are you going to
use that influence to oppose this legislation that seems to be supported by some of your allies?"
Religious leaders like Rick Warren have also been under the microscope. He is the senior pastor of the California-based
Saddleback church, which is active in both Uganda and Rwanda.
After being questioned about his role by U.S. media, Warren issued a video message on the Internet, denying his
support for the law in Uganda.
"As an American pastor, it is not my role to interfere with the politics of other nations, but it is my role to speak out on
moral issues and it is my role to shepherd other pastors who look to me for guidance, and it is my role to correct lies and
errors and false reports when others associate my name with a law that I had nothing to do with, [and which] I
completely oppose and I vigorously condemn," said Rick Warren. "I am referring to the pending law under consideration
by the Ugandan parliament, known as the Anti-Homosexuality Bill."
Rwanda's parliament is also working to pass a law which would criminalize homosexuality but Warren has yet to address
his church's role in that matter. In 2005, he called Rwanda a "purpose driven nation." Warren went with dozens of
American evangelicals to hold meetings with government ministers, lawmakers and donate materials to churches across
Rwanda.
Several American lawmakers who have been linked to the Fellowship, like Nevada Senator John Ensign have called the
Ugandan law proposal "outrageous". But others like Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, who went to Uganda in 2004,
have said they do not know enough about the bill to comment.
The executive director of the U.S.-based International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, Cary Alan Johnson,
welcomes some of the questions now being asked.
"It is a debate that has to happen and we are glad it is happening," said Cary Alan Johnson. "Rwanda and Uganda are
both countries with deeply spiritual people and as of late we have understood that some of the more conservative
elements in the United States have been funding the most violent and homophobic discourses about homosexuality."
Johnson says those seeking to push an agenda should understand the consequences of their actions. He warns anti-gay
laws could worsen already high HIV levels in east Africa.
"The impact of these laws on HIV prevention is extremely worrisome to us," he said. "Laws we are talking about in
Uganda, Rwanda, will make it impossible for groups to do HIV education that targets men who have sex with men or
that targets bisexual people and we know that there is a strong impact of HIV on this community and on society in
general."
Lisa Laurel Weinberg, from the Massachusetts Lutheran Social Services Human Rights Protection Project, says the
situation is already very difficult. In her other job as an asylum attorney, she recently helped a young Ugandan woman'
win asylum to the United States. The woman's apartment had been raided by police while she was inside with her
girlfriend.
"The police broke in and brought them to the police station and raped them in what is called a corrective rape," said Lisa
Laurel Weinberg. "It is when males of authority try and correct lesbianism through rape."
But Weinberg warns trying to fight the new laws from the outside is very complicated.

"I got an e-mail yesterday that said be really careful and check with Ugandans before you do any advocacy from the
West, because us imposing our values, they are really sensitive to the whole colonialism history, so that the email
cautioned be careful what you do and let it come from them," she said.
Some prominent politicians and journalists in East Africa have called homosexuality the "white man's disease." Pro-gay
groups in the region, which are mostly underground, say they are becoming increasingly afraid to ask for help, and
believe outside interference could worsen the persecution they face.

Fyi - we should do handwritten notes to them
I thought I would share this heartfelt message from Patricia Lamego de Teixeira Soares, the head of Brazil's Central
Authority, the office responsible for Hague Convention abduction cases. You will see that in spite of our efforts to
protect the son, the Brazilian family chose to make a spectacle outside the Consulate this morning by parading Sean
through a crowd. Ms. Lamego recently visited the U.S. where she met with members of Congress and others to explain
all that the Brazilian Central Authority was doing to reunite Sean and his father under the Hague Convention. The
delays we saw in this case were largely the result of a wealthy, well connected family able to influence court decisions.

We are all relieved and thrilled to see this long overdue but very happy ending. I should also highlight the amazing
work done by US Mission Brazil. The consular staff, Charge, Acting DCM (Marie Damour, the Consul General in Brasilia),
LegATT, RSO, and a host of others all played a role in this successful return. My OCS DAS, Michele Bond, and her
dedicated team also played a big role in communicating with David, his lawyers, Congress, and the press. We had
Members of Congress, former Assistant Secretaries and US Ambassadors all pitching in. While there were
disagreements at times over tactics, we all agreed that we were working towards the same goal: the safe return of
Sean.
We particularly appreciate the strong support from the Secretary. Many people will try to take credit for today's happy
reunion but it was the Secretary's continued concern and interest in this case that made the difference. We could not
have provided a better gift to David Goldman during this season of giving.

Subject: END OF THE GOLDMAN CASE
Importance: High
Dear All,
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762996 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762996 Date: 06/30/2015
The Goldman case finally came to an end, and despite the efforts of all involved the hand over of the child to the US
Consulate in Rio was transformed into a deplorable display of the child walking in the streets with the maternal family,
being exposed to the media and to the public that surrounded the consulate.
I'm sorry this had to happen but it seems that Mr. Sergio Tostes, the maternal family's attorney, did not feel at all
embarrased to use and expose the child, who was probably under severe stress, in order to gather support for his
position. This most despicable man is not accepting the fact that, despite his life long relationships with influential
authorities in Brazil, he was unable to win the case and Sean is finally being reunited with his only real father.
I just hope that David and the Goldman family find enough time to recover their lives and their relationship with Sean.
They need time more than anything else and now it is up to the US government to guarantee that David Goldman will
not have to face the maternal family once again in the US courts where, according to Mr. Tostes last declaration to the
Brazilian press, he will "fight to defend the child".
Please allow David Goldman to live in peace with his son and have the life that he deserves after fighting so much for so
many years.
In my name and in the name of all the staff of the Brazilian Central Authority I wish David, Sean, and their family all the
best and a most happy life once they are finally back in the United States.
And to all of you who worked so much in support of this case, our deepest gratitude. We wish you all a Merry Christmas
and a very Happy New Year.
Best regards,

Call with Sen. Lautenberg
I spoke w the Senator who is not ready to lift his hold yet. He spoke w the Charge in the Brazilian Embassy who told him
there was a procedure in the Brazilian courts that could be used to give Mr. Goldman custody now and during the
remaining time of the court proceedings.
Craig, can you find out what the Brazilians meant by that and if their govt is pursuing it?
Bob, can you and USTR contact your Brazilian counterparts to explain how important the Goldman case is to the Senator
who can't understand how the father wins every case but never gets his son back and he has run out of patience and is
willing to hold this critical bill.
Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

Re: any truth to this account? Sid
The writer was not only a correspondent for The Guardian there but also apparently was on the Maldives delegation
putting him in various rooms. The accounts from the conference have been very fragmentary, the administration has
explained very little (for whatever reasons and to its detriment), and it is being widely blamed internationally. The broader
lesson I draw from Chinese disrespect for the president (and US) on his trip (I've heard accounts from journalists), its
behavior at Copenhagen, mercantalist economic policy (eg, currency), and its rough use of and contempt for international
organizations, not to mention the strange form of Chinese neo-colonialism in Africa, is the need for policy review. Fear of
Chinese retribution (economy. Iran, etc) can't be allowed to paralyze reassessment, though it should be factored into
scenarios. The Europeans are being damaged worse by Chinese economic policy than us and China policy is a new area
for the Western alliance to consult on. Leaving it to Treasury apparently parks policy in a laissez faire twilight zone.
Treasury has been as effective on China as it has been on AIG. Just thoughts of an observer.

How do I know China wrecked the Copenhagen deal? I was in the room
ik/Tor
narklynas>
Copenhagen was a disaster. That much is agreed. But the truth about what
actually happened is in danger of being lost amid the spin and inevitable mutual
recriminations. The truth is this: China <http.//www.gua,dj.an.cc.uk/world/china>
wrecked the talks, intentionally humiliated Barack Obama, and insisted on an
awful "deal" so western leaders would walk away carrying the blame. How do I
know this? Because I was in the room and saw it happen.
China's strategy was simple: block the open negotiations for two weeks, and then
ensure that the closed-door deal made it lock as if the west had failed the
world's poor once again. And sure enough, the aid agencies, civil society
movements and environmental groups all took the bait. The failure was "the
inevitable result of rich countries refusing adequately and fairly to shoulder
their overwhelming responsibility", said Christian Aid. "Rich countries have
bullied developing nations," fumed Friends of the Earth International.
All very predictable, but the complete opposite of the truth. Even George
Monbiot, writing in yesterday's Guardian, made the mistake of singly blaming
.Obama. But I saw Obama fighting desperately to salvage a deal, and the Chinese
delegate saying "no", over and over again. Monbiot even approvingly quoted the
Sudanese delegate Lumumba Di-Aping, who denounced the Copenhagen accord as "a
suicide pact, an incineration pact, in order to maintain the economic dominance
of a few countries".

temperatures to 2C, was removed and replaced by woolly language suggesting that
emissions should peak "as soon as possible". The long-term target, of global 50%
cuts by 2050, was also excised. No one else, perhaps with the exceptions of
India and Saudi Arabia, wanted this to happen. I am certain that had the Chinese
not been in the room, we would have left Copenhagen with a deal that had
environmentalists popping champagne corks popping in every corner of the world.
Strong position
So how did China manage to pull off this coup? First, it was in an extremely
strong negotiating position. China didn't heed a deal. As one developing country
foreign minister said to me: "The Athenians had nothing to offer to the
Spartans." On the other hand, western leaders in particular - but also
presidents Lula of Brazil, Zuma of South Africa, Calderon of Mexico and many
others - were desperate for a positive outcome. Obama needed a strong deal
perhaps more than anyone. The US had confirmed the offer of $100bn to developing
countries for adaptation, put serious cuts on the table for the first time (17%
below 2005.1evels by 2020), and was obviously prepared. to up its offer.
Above all, Obama needed to be able to demonstrate to the Senate that he could
deliver China in any global climate regulation framework, so conservative
senators could not argue that US carbon cuts would further advantage Chinese
industry. With midterm elections looming, Obama and his staff also knew that
Copenhagen would be probably their only opportunity to go to climate change
<http:
mandate. This further strengthened China's negotiating hand, as did the complete
lack of civil society political pressure on either China or India. Campaign
groups never blame developing countries for failure; this is an iron rule that
is never broken. The Indians, in particular, have become past masters at
co-opting the language of equity ("equal rights to the atmosphere") in the
service of planetary suicide - and leftish campaigners and commentators are
hoist with their own petard.
With the deal gutted, the heads of state session concluded with a final battle
as the Chinese delegate insisted on removing the 1.5C target so beloved of the
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762863 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762863 Date: 06/30/2015
small island states and low-lying nations who have most to lose from rising
seas. President Nasheed of the Maldives, supported by Brown, fought valiantly to
save this crucial number. "How can you ask my country to go extinct?" demanded
Nasheed. The Chinese delegate feigned great offence - and the number stayed, but
surrounded by language which makes it all but meaningless. The deed was done.
China's game
All this raises the question: what is China's game? Why- did China, in the words
of a UK-based analyst who also spent hours in heads of state meetings, "not only
reject targets for itself, but also refuse to allow any other country to take on
binding targets?" The analyst, who has attended climate conferences for more
than 15 years, concludes that China wants to weaken the climate regulation
regime now "in order to avoid the risk that it might be called on to be more
ambitious in a few years' time".
This does not mean China is not serious about global warming. It is strong in
both the wind and solar industries. But China's growth, and growing global
political and economic dominance, is based largely on cheap. coal. China knows it
is becoming an uncontested superpower; indeed its newfound muscular confidence
was on striking display in Copenhagen_ Its coal-based economy doubles every
decade, and its power increases commensurately. Its leadership will not alter
this magic formula unless they absolutely have to.
Copenhagen was much worse than just another bad deal, because it illustrated a
profound shift in global geopolitics. This is fast becoming China's century, yet
its leadership has displayed that multilateral environmental governance is not
only not a priority, but is viewed as a hindrance to the new superpower's
freedom of action. I left Copenhagen more despondent than I have felt in a long
time. After all the hope and. all the hype, the mobilisation of thousands, a wave
of optimism crashed against the rock of global power politics, fell back, and
drained away.

I spoke w the Senator about our concerns with the legislation and told him Jim had sent a letter and Rich scheduled a
mtg w his staff for Monday to discuss changes we would like to see. He said he was open to our suggestions for tweaking

Re: The Berlusconi assault
1. The physical attack on Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is a major political event
in Italy and Europe. His assailant is a mentally disturbed man without a political agenda
who has been in and out of psychiatric care since he was 18 years old. Nonetheless, the
assault has significant repercussions. It has generated sympathy for Berlusconi as a
victimhe has been obviously injured, lost two teeth and a pint of blood, and doctors
will keep him in the hospital for perhaps a week for observation. The attack comes as
Berlusconi was beginning to lose political footing, having lost his legal immunity. One
court inquiry is turning up evidence of his links to the Mafia while another is examining
his role in the bribery case of British lawyer David Mills. Berlusconi' s government and
party have used the attack as a way to turn the sudden sympathy for him to his advantage,
claiming that his opponents have sown a climate of "hate." Through demogogic appeals
they are attempting to discredit and rebuff the legal proceedings against him and
undermine the investigative press. (Berlusconi is suing La Repubblica, the large
independent newspaper in Rome that has been most aggressive in digging into his affairs
of all kinds.)
2. It would seem proper and decent for the President to call Berlusconi to express his
concern about his health and wish him a speedy recovery, if he hasn't done so already.
There are many reasons for Obama to do this, not least to condemn violence against a
democratically elected head of state. It would be awkward for the U.S. President not to
call a Western head of state of a NATO country who has been physically harmed.
Berlusconi, for his part, would certainly make such a call public. It would therefore also
be awkward if a call were used only as an element in his sympathy campaign against the
court proceedings.
3. If so, there is a larger message that should be communicated, perhaps by the President in
his conversation, but most importantly through a statement from the State Department,
also conveyed by the U.S. ambassador in Italy. The USG condemns any and all violence

Dell'Utri told the court that neither he nor Mr Berlusconi had Mafia connections. "It's in the
interest of the Mafia to force the collapse of the Berlusconi government because this government
has done the most in the fight against organised crime," he said. Mr Berlusconi, who recently lost
his legal immunity to prosecution, was said to have been furious this week, after the
parliamentary Speaker, Gianfranco Fini, the man who is supposed to be his closest ally, had said
that the Spatuzza evidence was "an atomic bomb".
Mr Fini was recorded by an unobserved microphone while talking privately at an official dinner.
Rumours of the conservative Prime Minister's links with the Mob have persisted since
investigators learnt that a Cosa Nostra hitman, Vittorio Mangano, worked as Mr Berlusconi's
"stable-master" at the media mogul's villa in Arcore outside Milan in the 1970s. Much
speculation has also centred on the origins of Mr Berlusconi's vast wealth.
Last week, the Prime Minister's broadcast group, Mediaset, and his holding company, Fininvest,
announced it intended to sue the left-wing newspaper La Repubblica over an article that said
Mediaset was "20 per cent owned by the Mafia".
La Stampa newspaper noted that the "dread combination of Mafia allegations and separation
from his wife are now his principal torments". Mr Berlusconi's estranged wife, Veronica Lario, is
said to be seeking a 3m-a-month divorce settlement, and a messy courtroom battle looms. Mr
Berlusconi also faces a retrial on the charge that he bribed the British lawyer David Mills to lie in
court.

To combat such perceived persecution, Berlusconi has tested the bounds of decorous democratic
conduct, including his allies' pushing a bill through Parliament last year that gave him and other
top Italian officeholders immunity from prosecution. But since the Constitutional Court
overturned that law in October, several criminal investigations into Berlusconi's business
dealings have been reopened, with other new charges rumored to be looming.
The potentially most damaging trial is set to resume Friday, Dec. 4, in Milan, with the 73-yearold billionaire being accused of paying British attorney David Mills $600,000 in 1997 to
withhold incriminating evidence about his broadcasting empire Mediaset. Mills is appealing a
conviction in the same case; both men have denied any wrongdoing.
So, alas, Berlusconi is back to spending his downtime with a well-paid cadre of more than a
dozen avvocati, who have been successful so far in keeping their biggest client clear of criminal
convictions. Not that the lawyers have ever really gone away. Since the media baron first ran for
office 15 years ago, his legal advisers have doubled as political consiglieri, key members of
Parliament and even important Cabinet Ministers. Indeed, while some critics have spoken of
Berlusconi's reign as a kind of sultanate of showgirls or government by gaffe, others have
described it as a republic of attorneys. (See what Berlusconi's Obama "jokes" say about Italy.)
His longtime lawyer Cesare Previti served as Italian Defense Minister during Berlusconi's first
term in 1994 before being convicted of corruption himself (and losing twice on appeal). During
Berlusconi's second term (2001-06), Gaetano Pecorella, a former leftist, served as president of
Parliament's Justice Commission, where he was instrumental in shepherding through new laws
that helped shield Berlusconi from investigating magistrates.
Giovanni Sartori, a Columbia University professor of constitutional law, says the role
Berlusconi's personal lawyers have played in his legislative agenda is yet another gargantuan
conflict of interest to add to those related to his ownership of Italy's main private television
stations. But by now, Sartori says, Berlusconi's lawyers have perfected the art of exploiting
Italy's painfully slow justice system: many cases conclude without a final verdict because the
statute of limitations has been reached. "It is more a mania than a necessity," Sartori says of
Berlusconi's near obsession in battling magistrates. "He feels persecuted, and fighting the judges
is what makes him happy."
Berlusconi's current point man is Nicolo Ghedini, a somber-faced, lanky 49-year-old criminaldefense attorney from the northern city of Padua, who has served in both the Italian Senate and
the lower house of Parliament. Ghedini has continued to mount a grinding defense in the
criminal cases, arguing in the Mills case that Berlusconi cannot be present in the Milan
courtroom for the next several months because of time conflicts with his duties as Prime
Minister. Ghedini has also spearheaded an increasingly aggressive legal strategy that has
included several libel suits against opposition newspapers. He declared in September that if
necessary, Berlusconi would testify in a suit against a journalist who referred to rumors that the
Prime Minister is impotent. Last week, Berlusconi vowed to launch additional suits against
newspapers that printed unsubstantiated reports that a close adviser of his was involved in a 1993
bombing campaign by the Sicilian Mafia. (Read "An Offended Berlusconi Goes on the
Offensive.")

Despite these many legal headaches, Berlusconi is embroiled in one other particularly thorny
case that even he can't blame on overzealous magistrates. Veronica Lario, Berlusconi's wife of
more than 20 years, filed for divorce earlier this year, which sparked an avalanche of accusations
that he frequented a prostitute from Bari and an underage model from Naples. The Milan daily
Corriere della Sera reported last week that Lario has demanded 3.5 million euros ($5.2 million)
in monthly payments, and Berlusconi countered with an offer of 300,000 euros ($450,000). No
matter how this and the other cases shake out, there is little hope that Berlusconi can avoid a
mountain of lawyers' fees and some grim Saturdays that he'd rather devote to other business and
pleasures.

The best hope is that the talks will produce an interim understanding under which industrialized countries would
commit to fairly precise targets for reduced emissions, and others, like China, to broader but measurable goals. The
industrial countries would be expected to help poorer countries shift to less-polluting forms of energy.
That would set the stage for a legally binding deal in 2010. But there is no chance of even an interim agreement without
the enthusiastic participation of China, the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases. China's absence would give other
developing countries and the United States Senate an excuse to do less than needed.
Beijing's recent pledge to slow the growth in emissions seemed like a positive shift in attitude. Then on Tuesday, in a
surprising show of defensiveness, China's top negotiator, Su Wei, said the greatest burden rested with the industrialized
countries and jumped on the United States, Japan and the European Union for not being aggressive enough. Another
Chinese official urged Washington to do "some deep soul-searching" and improve its proposal.
Todd Stern, the chief American negotiator, responded correctly: With emissions in many industrialized countries peaking
or declining, just about all of the growth in greenhouse gases is expected to come from the developing world between
now and 2030, half from China. Rich nations must still reduce emissions sharply, Mr. Stern said, but "there is no way to
solve this problem by giving the major developing countries a pass."
China has also been demanding that rich nations contribute hundreds of millions of dollars a year to help poor countries
address the threat of climate change. Again Mr. Stern was blunt. Washington is prepared to help those who need it, but
given China's huge reserves and revved-up economy, he said he could not envision "public funds, certainly not from the
United States, going to China."
The most positive development has been a pledge by the European Union to contribute $10.5 billion over the next three
years to help poorer countries deal with climate change. The United States has said that it will make a contribution but
has not said how big it will be.
Transparency is another difficult issue that must be resolved, at least in principle, this week. There is no point in setting
targets, or threatening penalties for noncompliance, unless countries are required to report emissions accurately.
Transparency has never been one of Beijing's virtues, and emerging countries generally need aid to create sophisticated
monitoring systems.
Copenhagen's broadest challenge is finding an equitable way to distribute the burden of confronting climate change.
Despite some differences, the industrialized nations have pretty much agreed to trim their emissions by 15 percent to 20
percent from 2005 levels in the next 10 years, and by 80 percent by midcentury. And all seem to be willing to make
expensive investments to get there. President Obama will need help from Congress, no sure thing.
A host of developing countries including India, Brazil, Indonesia have put broad goals on the table, though in.some
cases they seem more aspirational than real. But the bottom line is that the hope for a meaningful deal is vanishingly
small if China doesn't sign on.

what's most appriopriate. Since the speech alluded to some of the same ground, should we be explicit in asserting that
this speech further clarifies/expands/explains what this Admin means by human rights?
The points about us not being perfect and the existence of evil in the POTUS speech should be woven in more here
too. For example, in discussion on p.7 about Japanese internment, etc.
In the section about supporting individual defenders, should mention that we did that thru State Dept ceremony
honoring brave women and applaud others like Vital Voices and RFK memorial who do same. Tell story about how I was
asked to mention the name of a Guatemala activist in my sppech to the parliament there because the attention might
literally save her life.
Look forward to further discussion later today.

As of this morning OMB staff report to our staff that they will be presenting an analysis to Peter tomorrow afternoon.
We will have some more interaction between our staff that may narrow the gap. It seems like waiting another day
before either of us call Peter to see how much they are holding back would bne helpful.

As far as Afghanistan goes, we still do not know if a budget amendment will be going up next week or not. We should
know by Monday morning. Our staff has been asked to prepare a template without numbers so a decision could be
implemented quickly. I am confident that there will be time to have a discussion both at the highest levels at OMB and
the WH before this is locked. As far as the 2011 budget goes, we should hear back at least from staff early next week and
I will reach out to Peter and Rob to start a discussion at the top line level. I think we will want you to enagage some time
this coming week, but I would like to see what the real gap is first.
As you know, I will testify on Dec 15 and want to know if that is too late to sound the alarm about our budget? If
so, what should I be doing? If not, we should prepare testimony that we preview and deliver that makes our case. Let
me know your thoughts.

Re: Guinea/Madagascar
We may have to vote on a motion to *deny* them credentials and exclude them. For the moment, the guidance is to
vote to credential all countries including these two as is customary, while conducting outreach with Tanzania,
Zambia, and the AU to explain that we have our own imperatives but we support the fact that they are taking a
principled stand.
We may have to vote on a motion to *defer* decision, which would allow them to be seated and vote but would not
formally grant credentials. For the moment, the guidance is to potentially support such a motion this was the practice
with respect to South Africa between 1983 and 1994. Everyone is in the same place on this.
Ultimately, however, the whole thing may die of its own weight. This is probably the most likely outcome.

Yes, and a draft of the testimony.
I'd like a call this afternoon or evening to go over the draft Af-Pak regional strategy. Who should be on call? It is quite
good but lacks "milestones" and budgets for each section.
Sounds good. Huma and I will work to set it up. The budget issue is complicated -- we've had several discussions about
it. It's hard to put down numbers with confidence.
Call should be with Jack, Piper, Rich, Paul Jones, and Sean Misko.
Re the required report for Kerry-Lugar, I want to be sure that the language in both our report and this one echo the
same language.
Paul, Sean, and Rich are going back over to make sure of that. Our chief method is to use framing language from the
strategy to frame the KLB report as well.
Also, have we rec'd a memo from Shaun Woodard for Robinson and McGuinness calls?
Huma should have this memo for you.
There will also be a PC on Af-Pak Tuesday and I want to be sure our report is ready.
Yes -- this is consistent with our timeline.

I've asked Todd to identify the specific areas where he thinks progress can be made through discussions on Thursday.
At a high level, I think leaders' conversations on Thursday will begin to narrow gaps on the big issues -- transparency,
funding, inscribing commitments, etc -- IF (and it's a big if) those gaps are narrow-able. If they're not, then
Thursday/Friday will be days of trying and failing ... but at least trying.
Todd's view is that there is not enough time Friday for top-level meetings to close the deal; that two days are required.
You would be our head of delegation for the first, POTUS for the second.

China has also been demanding that rich nations contribute hundreds of millions of dollars a year to help poor countries
address the threat of climate change. Again Mr. Stern was blunt. Washington is prepared to help those who need it, but
given China's huge reserves and revved-up economy, he said he could not envision "public funds, certainly not from the
United States, going to China."
The most positive development has been a pledge by the European Union to contribute $10.5 billion over the next three
years to help poorer countries deal with climate change. The United States has said that it will make a contribution but
has not said how big it will be.
Transparency is another difficult issue that must be resolved, at least in principle, this week. There is no point in setting
targets, or threatening penalties for noncompliance, unless countries are required to report emissions accurately.
Transparency has never been one of Beijing's virtues, and emerging countries generally need aid to create sophisticated
monitoring systems.
Copenhagen's broadest challenge is finding an equitable way to distribute the burden of confronting climate change.
Despite some differences, the industrialized nations have pretty much agreed to trim their emissions by 15 percent to 20
percent from 2005 levels in the next 10 years, and by 80 percent by midcentury. And all seem to be willing to make
expensive investments to get there. President Obama will need help from Congress, no sure thing.
A host of developing countries including India, Brazil, Indonesia have put broad goals on the table, though in some
cases they seem more aspirational than real. But the bottom line is that the hope for a meaningful deal is vanishingly
small if China doesn't sign on.

Madame Secretary, we would very much like to dedicate this performance to your lifelong efforts on behalf of women
around the world. Melanne tells me that you have not seen the play, and there is no doubt that with the caliber of
actresses that Taymor has in mind, this will be its most sensational performance ever. If there was also any chance that
you would be able to moderate a panel afterwards that set the agenda for our weekend's discussions, it would be a
superbly valuable call to arms for an audience of influential decision makers, international media, and committed
philanthropists.
The Women in the World weekend will showcase vivid, powerful, and deeply personal testimony through first-person
storytelling, films, performances, exhibits, and interviews. The goal is not only to make these issues vivid, but to provide
a concrete outcome at the end, through projects we will sponsor and through commitments we have won from the
influential women who are present. Some of the topics will
be: Women in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Rape as a Tool of War, Women as Peacemakers, and Girl Up - The United
Nations Foundation's Campaign to Keep Teenage Girls in School.
Expected participants to date are: Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, Ambassador Luis CdeBaca, Under Secretary of
State for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero, Washington D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee, Actress Cate
Blanchett, Tostan Founder Molly Melching, Women for Women International President Zainab Salbi, Hewlett-Packard

President of Global Wealth & Investment Management Sallie Krawcheck, India's first and highest-ranking woman officer
Kiran Bedi, Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues Melanne Verveer, Co-Chairman of Sony Pictures Amy Pascal
and many more.
Madame Secretary, we do hope that you'll be able to find the time in your incredibly busy schedule to attend this New
York highlight of International Women's Month. I would be happy to talk to the appropriate member of your staff to
provide further details that might help make your decision.

Re: The Berlusconi assault
1.
The physical attack on Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is a major political event in Italy and Europe. His
assailant is a mentally disturbed man without a political agenda who has been in and out of psychiatric care since he was
18 years old. Nonetheless, the assault has significant repercussions. It has generated sympathy for Berlusconi as a
victimhe has been obviously injured, lost two teeth and a pint of blood, and doctors will keep him in the hospital for
perhaps a week for observation. The attack comes as Berlusconi was beginning to lose political footing, having lost his
legal immunity. One court inquiry is turning up evidence of his links to the Mafia while another is examining his role in
the bribery case of British lawyer David Mills. Berlusconi's government and party have used the attack as a way to turn
the sudden sympathy for him to his advantage, claiming that his opponents have sown a climate of "hate." Through
demogogic appeals they are attempting to discredit and rebuff the legal proceedings against him and undermine the
investigative press. (Berlusconi is suing La Repubblica, the large independent newspaper in Rome that has been most
aggressive in digging into his affairs of all kind.)
2.
It would seem proper and decent for the President to call Berlusconi to express his concern about his health and
wish him a speedy recovery, if he hasn't done so already. There are many reasons for Obama to do this, not least to
condemn violence against a democratically elected head of state. It would be awkward for the U.S. President not to call
a Western head of state of a NATO country who has been physically harmed. Berlusconi, for his part, would certainly

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761507 Date: 06/30/2015
make such a call public. It would therefore also be awkward if a call were used only as an element in his sympathy
campaign against the court proceedings.
3. If so, there is a larger message that should be communicated, perhaps by the President in his conversation, but
most importantly through a statement from the State Department, also conveyed by the U.S. ambassador in Italy. The
USG condemns any and all violence as an assault on democracy. By the same measure, this incident involving an
apparently deranged individual should not be exploited to raise social tensions. Instead, it should inspire reflection on
the necessity of every citizen to adhere to the rule of law as well as to respect freedom of speech and the press.
4. Two articles on the legal inquries into Berlusconi below:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/worldieurope/berlusconi-cut-deal-with-mafia-court-told-1834647.html
Berlusconi 'cut deal with Mafia', court told Former hitman claims Italian PM gave 'benefits' to the Mob for political
support By Michael Day in Milan Saturday, 5 December 2009 The Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, made a deal
with the Sicilian Mafia in the early 1990s that put the country "in the hands" of the Mob, a court in Turin was told
yesterday.
Gaspare Spatuzza, a jailed Mafia hitman turned witness, told a packed and heavily guarded bunker courtroom that his
Cosa Nostra Godfather boss had cut a deal with Mr Berlusconi in 1993 that provided unspecified "benefits" to the Mafia
in exchange for political support. The media tycoon entered politics a few months later and won his first term as Prime
Minister in 1994.
Spatuzza said his boss, Giuseppe Graviano, who was jailed over Mafia bomb attacks in Rome, Milan and Florence, had
told him that the Mob had "got everything" with the help of Mr Berlusconi, adding that Graviano called Mr Berlusconi
"the man from Channel 5", in reference to his TV network.
The damaging claims came at the appeal hearing of Marcello Dell'Utri, a key Berlusconi associate and senator, who is
challenging his nine-year jail sentence for links with the Mafia.
Spatuzza, in prison for several murders, testified: "Graviano told me the name of Berlusconi and said that thanks to him
and the man from our home town [an apparent reference to Dell' Utri] we have the country in our hands."
Mr Berlusconi has denounced the claims of Spatuzza as "vile", and "unfounded and defamatory", denying ever having
links with the Mafia. The Prime Minister's spokesman said the testimony yesterday was the Mafia's "completely logical"
revenge against the Prime Minister for his "determined" fight against organised crime.
Dell'Utri told the court that neither he nor Mr Berlusconi had Mafia connections. "It's in the interest of the Mafia to
force the collapse of the Berlusconi government because this government has done the most in the fight against
organised crime," he said. Mr Berlusconi, who recently lost his legal immunity to prosecution, was said to have been
furious this week, after the parliamentary Speaker, Gianfranco Fini, the man who is supposed to be his closest ally, had
said that the Spatuzza evidence was "an atomic bomb".
Mr Fini was recorded by an unobserved microphone while talking privately at an official dinner. Rumours of the
conservative Prime Minister's links with the Mob have persisted since investigators learnt that a Cosa Nostra hitman,
Vittorio Mangano, worked as Mr Berlusconi's "stable-master" at the media mogul's villa in Arcore outside Milan in the
1970s. Much speculation has also centred on the origins of Mr Berlusconi's vast wealth.
Last week, the Prime Minister's broadcast group, Mediaset, and his holding company, Fininvest, announced it intended
to sue the left-wing newspaper La Repubblica over an article that said Mediaset was "20 per cent owned by the Mafia".
La Stampa newspaper noted that the "dread combination of Mafia allegations and separation from his wife are now his
principal torments". Mr Berlusconi's estranged wife, Veronica Lario, is said to be seeking a 3m-a-month divorce
settlement, and a messy courtroom battle looms. Mr Berlusconi also faces a retrial on the charge that he bribed the
British lawyer David Mills to lie in court.

After a Court Ruling, Berlusconi's Legal Woes Resume By Jeff Israely The world has spent the past six months wondering
how and with whom Silvio Berlusconi spends his Saturday nights. But the combative, scandal-plagued Prime
Minister of Italy would prefer to talk about his mornings instead. "Do you know how I've been forced to spend my
Saturday mornings since I entered politics?" Berlusconi once declared to business leaders in Rome. "With my lawyers."

Italy's self-proclaimed Defendant in Chief makes a point of lamenting all those weekends spoiled by stacks of court
dossiers as further proof that he is the victim of politically motivated magistrates, whom he called during the same
speech "the spreading cancer of our democracy." (See Berlusconi's worst gaffes.)
<http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1874098_1874099_1874118,00.html >
To combat such perceived persecution, Berlusconi has tested the bounds of decorous democratic conduct, including his
allies' pushing a bill through Parliament last year that gave him and other top Italian officeholders immunity from
prosecution. But since the Constitutional Court overturned that law in October, several criminal investigations into
Berlusconi's business dealings have been reopened, with other new charges rumored to be looming.
The potentially most damaging trial is set to resume Friday, Dec. 4, in Milan, with the 73-year-old billionaire being
accused of paying British attorney David Mills $600,000 in 1997 to withhold incriminating evidence about his
broadcasting empire Mediaset. Mills is appealing a conviction in the same case; both men have denied any wrongdoing.
So, alas, Berlusconi is back to spending his downtime with a well-paid cadre of more than a dozen avvocati, who have
been successful so far in keeping their biggest client clear of criminal convictions. Not that the lawyers have ever really
gone away. Since the media baron first ran for office 15 years ago, his legal advisers have doubled as political consiglieri,
key members of Parliament and even important Cabinet Ministers. Indeed, while some critics have spoken of
Berlusconi's reign as a kind of sultanate of showgirls or government by gaffe, others have described it as a republic of
attorneys. (See what Berlusconi's Obama "jokes" say about Italy.)
<http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1927307,00.html>
His longtime lawyer Cesare Previti served as Italian Defense Minister during Berlusconi's first term in 1994 before being
convicted of corruption himself (and losing twice on appeal). During Berlusconi's second term (2001-06), Gaetano
Pecorella, a former leftist, served as president of Parliament's Justice Commission, where he was instrumental in
shepherding through new laws that helped shield Berlusconi from investigating magistrates.
Giovanni Sartori, a Columbia University professor of constitutional law, says the role Berlusconi's personal lawyers have
played in his legislative agenda is yet another gargantuan conflict of interest to add to those related to his ownership of
Italy's main private television stations. But by now, Sartori says, Berlusconi's lawyers have perfected the art of exploiting
Italy's painfully slow justice system: many cases conclude without a final verdict because the statute of limitations has
been reached. "It is more a mania than a necessity," Sartori says of Berlusconi's near obsession in battling magistrates.
"He feels persecuted, and fighting the judges is what makes him happy."
Berlusconi's current point man is Nicolo Ghedini, a somber-faced, lanky 49-year-old criminal-defense attorney from the
northern city of Padua, who has served in both the Italian Senate and the lower house of Parliament. Ghedini has
continued to mount a grinding defense in the criminal cases, arguing in the Mills case that Berlusconi cannot be present
in the Milan courtroom for the next several months because of time conflicts with his duties as Prime Minister. Ghedini
has also spearheaded an increasingly aggressive legal strategy that has included several libel suits against opposition
newspapers. He declared in September that if necessary, Berlusconi would testify in a suit against a journalist who
referred to rumors that the Prime Minister is impotent. Last week, Berlusconi vowed to launch additional suits against
newspapers that printed unsubstantiated reports that a close adviser of his was involved in a 1993 bombing campaign '
by the Sicilian Mafia. (Read "An Offended Berlusconi Goes on the Offensive.")
<http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1920737,00.html>
Despite these many legal headaches, Berlusconi is embroiled in one other particularly thorny case that even he can't
blame on overzealous magistrates. Veronica Lario, Berlusconi's wife of more than 20 years, filed for divorce earlier this
year, which sparked an avalanche of accusations that he frequented a prostitute from Bari and an underage model from
Naples. The Milan daily Corriere della Sera reported last week that Lario has demanded 3.5 million euros ($5.2 million) in
monthly payments, and Berlusconi countered with an offer of 300,000 euros ($450,000). No matter how this and the
other cases shake out, there is little hope that Berlusconi can avoid a mountain of lawyers' fees and some grim
Saturdays that he'd rather devote to other business and pleasures.

Fears are growing over the health of Gordon Brown after Downing Street revealed the Prime Minister has visited
hospital for tests on his eyes.

Mr20Marr asked Mr Brown if he has been taking prescription drugs after rumours spread on the internet that he was
dependant on painkillers or antidepressants.
Mr Brown talked on the programme about losing the sight in one eye following a boyhood rugby. "I then had exactly the
same thing happen in my second eye. I had the same retinal detachment. I had the same fear that therefore I might lose
my sight in that eye," he admitted.
In a carefully-worded statement, No 10 said today: "This summer Mr Brown had his annual eye check-up which was fine.
Later he had his retina checked.
"After examinations, surgeons found that the retina had two minor tears. However, as there has been no further
deterioration, and no change in his eye sight, they decided against further operations. Yesterday [Friday] Mr Brown
visited Moorfields Hospital as part of regular c hecks on his eyes and this check was also fine.
"Mr Brown wants to thank the doctors and staff of the NHS particularly Moorfields Hospital. Were there to be any
change, he would of course make a further statement."
After the Andrew Marr Show late last month, senior Labour officials accused the BBC of smearing the Prime Minister.
However, the BBC defended the tactics and a spokesman said: "Andrew was asking a legitimate question about the
health of the leader of the country." The spokesman refused to be drawn on whether Mr Marr and Barney Jones, the
editor of the programme, had consulted executives at the BBC before deciding to ask Mr Brown whether he was taking
prescription medication.
Later Lord Mandelson, the Business Secretary, said it was "absolutely ridiculous" to suggest the Mr Brown had a
problem with pill use, and he blamed politically motivated bloggers for raising the possibility.
"We have seen out there on the internet, the blogosphere, all these extreme right-wing people trying to put these
smears and rumours about, all completely groundless," Lord Mandelson told GMTV. The BBC received more than 100
complaints about Mr Marr's line of questioning on the day the show was broadcast.

We'll work on the BCLs at 008 Monday with input from posts. Our aim is to provide Amb Rice maximum support. Best,
Maura
Your folks have been terrific (especially Oni and Tom's team) in working with us yesterday and today to get papers ready
for the trip. We continue to scrounge up the last bits and pieces from the field and here, but we've given the main
briefing books to Amb. Rice who is digesting them now, and we'll get her add ons tomorrow.
After going through things briefly with her this afternoon, there is one request that we have on the substantive front.
We'd like to get (at whatever classification level is appropriate) really two additional meaty papers for her meetings with
Netanyahu and Liberman. These would supplement the material in her book. We are aware that these will be tough
meetings, but we also view them as a good opportunity to also cover a lot of ground. There are a lot of issues not in the
current papers that could come up: from Israel in the UN system, to Iran, to settlements, to the current Temple Mount
crisis, to the Israel and Palestinian economies, to the security barrier, etc.. Tom and his team may have additional issues
they'd like her to raise as well. She'd like to be over prepared for these meetings and realizes that the SBU format has
not given your team the latitude to get that done.
In these two cases could we get classified supplemental for her BCLs with lots of background, TPs, etc. Please blow off
any length requirements, etc. longer and more comprehensive is better in this case.
We know that doing these over the weekend is unreasonable. We can arrange to get these to her after she lands in
Israel. Would it be possible on the high side to get these two additional pieces by COB Monday?

Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my longstanding commitment to assist the Haitian people in
their pursuit of a stable, prosperous and democratic future.
During my trip to Haiti, I was reminded of the tremendous challenges facing this island nation. The U.N.'s appointment
of President Clinton as special envoy to Haiti has helped to keep a much-needed spotlight on Haiti. President Clinton's
appointment of Dr. Paul Farmer as the Deputy U.N. Special Envoy for Haiti, adds an invaluable wealth of experience and
knowledge to the U.N.'s work in Haiti.
As a founder of Partners in Health and the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti, Dr. Farmer has demonstrated a
selfless commitment to the advancement of health and democracy in Haiti for the past 20 years. I have witnessed
firsthand Dr. Farmer's dedication to helping improve the lives of those in need.
He has strong south Florida ties. I am proud to call him a friend, along with our mutual friend, Jennie Block, who has also
worked so hard on issues of concern to the Haitian community.
I understand that the conference on the Inter-American Development Bank in Haiti went quite well. I was pleased to see
that the United Nations voted unanimously this week to extend the authorization for the U.N. Mission in Haiti for
another year.
I would also like to take a moment to express my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in last
weekend's plane crash during a U.N. mission. The U.N. mission in Haiti has helped to play an important role in bringing
security and stability to some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Haiti. I continue to support its mission and the
many men and women from around the world who work to carry it out.
However, it seems that Haiti just can't get to the next step. From assistance to debt relief, from trade benefits to
hurricane recovery, U.S. policy toward Haiti has run the gamut, but it is not achieving the long-term goals that we had
hoped for for the Haitian people and that the Haitian people want for themselves and their nation.
I am pleased to know that our State Department is taking a closer look at some of the challenges we are facing in Haiti.
Last week, Secretary Clinton's chief of staff and her point person on Haiti briefed Members on some of the initial
findings of this review.
I am confident that this review will help us to better understand how U.S. assistance to Haiti can be better targeted and
supportive of Haiti's own plans and goals; how assistance within the donor community can be better coordinated; how
the U.S. can better engage the Haitian Diaspora in our assistance efforts; and, finally, how the U.S. can finally make our
assistance sustainable so that outside efforts can ultimately be transferred into the hands of the Haitian government
and its people.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760221 Date: 06/30/2015
It is crucial that the efforts made by the U.S., the U.N. and others are effectively coordinated to ensure maximum
efficiency and maximum benefit for the people of Haiti. Innovative microcredit and microenterprise programs would
help to empower individuals, create self-reliance and create sustainability at the grassroots level. We should also look at
the very small-scale renewable energy programs for impoverished rural villages and settlements that are not served by
electric grids.
One of the immediate ways we can help the people of Haiti would be to grant temporary protected status to the
Haitians currently living in the U.S. Granting TPS to Haitians is the missing piece of a successful U.S. approach to
supporting the people of Haiti in the short and long term. I will continue to work with my colleagues to encourage the
administration to take this important step.
In addition, I will continue to support Haiti's inclusion in security initiatives, such as the Merida Initiative, to ensure that
the U.S. is doing all we can to help President Preval in his efforts against the narcotr:affickers.
Success in Haiti is in the U.S. national security interest, and we must work together to help address the many challenges
we face and that our Caribbean neighbor faces day in and day out.

Welcome thoughts. I expect to hear further from French today what specifically they have in mind. She could still go to

Dear Hillary,
Spoke to the person you recommended on Friday. Sounds like he is comfortable and even surprised that Pakistanis are
doing more. And maybe he will find some more ways to help, like the helicopter leasing. When I mentioned that
someone deep in the ISI must be happy that Al Qaeda's alive, so we don't abandon Pakistan again, he chuckled.
I talked about the "vetting" for intelligence. I also talked "defeat strategy," and the need for something more than just
deploying more forces and hoping the training for the Afghans will work.
I continue to be struck by the parallels to Vietnam, and especially Johnson's inability to resist escalation, and his
advisor's continued "incrementalism."
But I'm encouraged by the pace of the review. Seems that there's sufficient time to consider this from all angles.
I can imagine there are those arguing that we just need to fill the gap while we enlarge the Afghan army. That we help
the Pakistanis but not press them to the point of being unpleasant. And that too much focus on Osama and al-Zawahiri
raises the risk of public failure if we don't get them. There is much logic to this, but it has a strong tint of incrementalism.
Hopefully, we can be more decisive: lean harder on the Pakistanis, provide more troops to McChrystal than his
"moderate risk" and raise the heat on al Qaeda - then do all we can to push economic development in Afghanistan,
restrain Indian meddling, and prepare to do more against Al Qaeda in Pakistan, directly if necessary. Ultimately, it
seems that our best exit strategy would be to take down the top leadership of Al Qaeda in Pakistan, and then gradually
draw down in Afghanistan.
Wish I could do more to help
All the best,
Wes

work which led to the completion of all of their training materials on schedule. We were also
able to suggest practices, such as deliberate labeling of the teaching strategy and grouping for
each activity, which helped to produce higher quality drafts.
A great challenge to the production of effective training manuals was that they would
have to survive a "cascade" of at least three levels of turnkey training while retaining clarity and
effectiveness for final delivery to the often under-prepared, under-resourced, teachers in the
field. The training process had to build the skills of teachers, deepen their content knowledge,
and establish a foundation for ongoing professional collaboration at the school level. Moreover,
the teachers in the field, at least, would not be paid for attending the trainings, so the training
materials had to be coherent and speak to their immediate needs. One of the most important
AFT team contributions was to address these challenges by refining the five training sessions for
each subject into templates with standardized formats and language. The templates respected the
language and content choices of the Afghan drafters, but also helped to ensure that the training
could be executed effectively by moderately skilled trainers.
When my colleagues Betty Harris (ABC California) and Amber Prentice (St. Paul)
arrived in late August, the ground had been prepared for our team to complete the technical
editing of the Grades 4-6 RPM materials on schedule, to present appropriate teacher training
ideas to an audience of RPM participants and other Teacher Education Department officials, and
to consult constructively with the PMO's and NGO partners of Creative regarding the plans for
the implementation of the training materials.
Comments
o An earlier arrival would have helped the AFT team to make more strategic contributions
to the process, such as deepening participants' understanding of group learning activities
before they started drafting them.
o It was an advantage to send one member of the AFT team ahead in order to get a feel for
the project and prepare the ground for the rest of the team.
o Close interaction with Afghan educators helped us to discern some important issues.
These included the importance of recruiting and supporting first grade teachers, who are
often the first contact with formal education for children and their families, especially in
towns and villages. We also learned that there is a high dropout rate during Grades 4 to
6. It emerged that there is substantial variation in attitudes toward education in different
regions of the country, where local experience and tradition exert such powerful
influences.
Language barriers, despite the help of translators, inhibited the kind of nuanced group
facilitation in which AFT/Teacher Center trainers are skilled.
o Helping to refine the flow of the twelve-day trainings is where our AFT experience and
skills would be especially valuable. We expected that Amber would be involved in this
for much of September, but there were apparently some delays.
o Some delays were undoubtedly due to the difficulties of retranslation of our edited
sessions back into Dani and Pashtu. The similar format and language of the edited
sessions was expected to save time in translation after the first example was complete,
but apparently this did not flow as smoothly as we had hoped.

o Better communication before our arrival would have facilitated better decisions about
what materials to bring and helped us to plan ahead in order to utilize most fully the skills
and experience of the AFT team.
O The practice of regular reporting to the COP and at staff meetings helped us to ensure that
the priorities, pace and quality of work were consistent with expectations.
o There was some confusion in working with the Afghan translators. They were cheerful
and professional, but it was difficult accurately to assess the efficiency of their work as
they translated the RPM materials back into Dan and Pashtu.
Living and Working Conditions
Accomodation at Creative's "Green House" residence in Kabul was comfortable but not
lavish. The rooms were air-conditioned (a necessity) and mine had its own bath. Local staff
cooked excellent meals took care of the rooms and our laundry. On a couple of occasions, we
were able to entertain people to meals. It certainly felt safe, since the gates were secured by
guards around the clock and the deputy security manager lived in.
For most of August, there were strict restrictions on movement. Even a short walk down
the street to the Creative main office involved half a dozen of the security staff. It was easy to
arrange with the security manager for outings in the evening to guarded restaurants which
catered to foreigners and for visits to the grocery store and certain secure shops. Tourist
activities such as strolling through the bazaar or along the main streets were not possible. After
Betty and Amber arrived, we were able to visit the National Museum (with evidence of multiple
lootings still visible) and the palace of the former Kings. The latter was an engrossing though
eerie experience in many ways a symbol of all the havoc wrought upon Afghanistan by a
generation of war.
Conditions out at the teacher training site were rather more challenging. Although
traveling in an armored vehicle, we were often stuck in traffic jams and the trip sometimes took
upwards of forty-five minutes. The site was a spacious classroom in the middle of the Kabul
Teachers' College campus. There were crowds of students everywhere, but one of the Creative
security staff was always on duty at the door, while the car remained just outside throughout the
day. Until the election lockdown began in mid-August, we were out at the RPM site five and a

the room until leaving at the end of the day. During one week the heat regularly reached 110
degrees. There were electric fans and water coolers, but the flies and dust steadily swirling
through the open windows were hard on the people and computer equipment alike. When
working at the Creative main office, we were given our own desk space.
Comments
Living conditions might seem a bit spartan to person attached to the comforts of home or
a hotel.
Working conditions out at the Sayyed Jumalladin Teacher College site would be difficult
for a person unaccustomed to heat, dust, flies and minimal amenities.
All movement outside of the residences is tightly controlled. One cannot stroll around
the neighborhood.
On several occasions, we were conscious of gunfire and explosions in the general
vicinity. A person who felt especially nervous about random rockets at night or
explosions on the streets during the day would have found this mission difficult.
Social life in Kabul exists, but is restricted by security considerations.
Assessment
This summer's collaboration in Afghanistan between the AFT and Ministry of Education
was a remarkable success. The skills and experience of the AFT team were well matched to the
needs of the BESST project. We shared in common with the Afghan educators so many similar
concerns about the training and support of teachers that it was it was easy to step in and support
the production of training manuals. The Provincial Monitoring Officers were remarkably
effective in helping us to understand and respond to the needs of Afghan teachers. The Creative
team in Kabul were practical, open-minded, and welcomed our participation in the project. Our
full AFT team of three persons, although only together for a week, was able to collaborate
frankly and efficiently from the start. Our primary tasks supporting the rapid production by
Afghan educators of teacher training materials and preparing the Grades 4-6 manual for
publication were completed on time and to a high standard of quality. The project could not
have been more serious. Our AFT Team, in my opinion, made a substantive contribution to the
idea that Afghan teachers can be a community of educators.
This was a marvellous professional experience. It has convinced me that if Americans
listen carefully and lead pragmatically, we can help Afghans to build a professional community
of educators which could be a sturdy foundation for civil society. The AFT, with our tradition of
practical support in response to the needs of teachers in the classroom, can fill an essential role in
the process.
Recommendations for the AFT in responding to the needs of educators in Afganistan
Train Afghan educators in the use of low-prep, low-resource dependent strategies for
supporting active student learning, including graphic organizers and paper manipulatives;
Share and support practices for developing reading materials which are both
developmentally and culturally appropriate, such as collections of stories about local
families, occupations, traditions, and history;

AFT Consultant
Share experience and help develop techniques for handling large classes (sometimes of
100 students or more), especially in the early grades;
Share experience in effective instructional planning and execution under circumstances
where the school day, school year, and student attendance are not consistent;
Help Afghan Teacher Education Department officials and the teachers whom they train
and monitor to understand the value of formative assessments in monitoring student
learning, especially with regard to proficiency in reading and writing;
Provide training in Curriculum Mapping and strategies for sustaining the practice so that
Afghan educators are enabled to coordinate their efforts among subjects, grade levels and
schools;
Disseminate aspects of brain research with immediate, obvious application to instruction,
such as how the link between age and the length of attention span can inform lesson
planning;
Support more efficient planning and instruction by teachers in the field by providing
templates, strategies for setting priorities, and techniques for self-evaluation;
At the policy level, in training for school leaders, and in training for teachers, present a
paradigm of differentiated instruction which synthesizes common sense experience with
theories of learning into an agenda for sustained improvement of teaching and learning.
In support of this objective, I would recommend translating and adapting Judy Dodge's
Differentiation in Action and 25 Short Formative Assessments. These ideas are
digestible in small bites by teachers with limited resources;
Support the expansion and refinement of Teacher Learning Circles (school-based
professional groups);
Introduce and support effective practices for organizing, mobilizing, and sustaining
structures for local collaboration, such as Teacher Learning Circles, Lead Teachers,
community sponsorship of school activities, and provincial/district resource centers;
Share experience in techniques for building connects between schools and parents;
Help to develop a plan for teacher induction, development and retention;
Share experience in developing supports for 1st Grade teachers, who play a critical role in
Afghanistan as the first point of contact with formal education for many children and
their parents;
Help Afghan educators to widen the area of common language, experience and
benchmarks for proficiency in the teaching profession;
Through training of administrators, lead teachers, and instructional specialists, facilitate
supportive school supervision and provincial leadership;
Support analysis of the high drop-out rate in Grades 4-6 and help to develop strategic
responses so that more children move on to middle and high school;
Share low-cost but effective practices for acknowledging and encouraging professional
accomplishment by teachers;
Share techniques for building professional connections among teachers across provincial
boundaries. (The current set-up seems to be of the hub and spokes variety, with national
TED in Kabul at the hub, provincial TED's at the end of the spokes, and very little
reciprocal communication even between the national and provincial administrative
centers);

I spoke to Ann and she sd that you always have the Trustee box to use in each House.
She cannot hold a box for The Secretary of State use only not - bt can further discussions with KC on this
She advises that we need to give advance notice There are 4 seat in the Eisenhower that are complimentary and then 4 that would need to be purchased for nominal fee
(seems like a really silly policy) The same for Opera and in the Symphony there are 12 all complimentary. I think if we
begin to use the box on a regular basis we can work with them on the cost issues.
This could be a lovely way to serve many special guests.
Let me know if you want to begin a process of reviewing the KC calendar and start a list of recommendations to invite.

I just wanted you to know that the women in NI with whom you "walked the walk" over the years are eagerly looking

them, and as we know -- and as they have shown -- women are critical both to the peace process and to the peace

SECRETARY CLINTON GETS IT DONE; EMERGENCY RELIEF SUPPLIES TO BE AIRLIFTED FROM
GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA TO SAMOA IN RESPONSE TO DEVASTATING TSUNAMI
Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and the Global Environment, Congressman Eni F.H. Faleomavaega,
and Congresswoman Laura Richardson (D-CA), announced today that the U.S. Department of State called them this
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760203 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760203 Date: 06/30/2015
morning to inform them that Secretary Clinton has authorized the use of funds from the Office of Foreign Disaster
Assistance (OFDA) to get emergency relief supplies airlifted from the greater Los Angeles area to Samoa in response to
the devastating tsunami that struck Apia on September 29.
In his capacity as Chairman of the Asia Pacific Subcommittee which has broad jurisdiction for U.S. foreign policy affecting
the region, including Samoa, Chairman Faleomavaega personally spoke to Secretary Clinton on Oct 1 and, in letters
dated Oct 4 and Oct 5, followed up with her regarding the specific need to airlift emergency supplies to Apia, which
were gathered by the Samoan communities and congregations in the greater Los Angeles area.
The Samoan communities in the greater Los Angeles directly contacted Faleomavaega for assistance because many of
their families and relatives live in his district of American Samoa or Samoa. Congresswoman Laura Richardson has
worked closely with Faleomavaega throughout this process given that she represents part of the greater Los Angeles
area, and the Samoan communities living in that area are her constituents.
"I want to personally thank Secretary Clinton for her untiring efforts in getting these relief supplies airlifted," Chairman
Faleomavaega said. "Since the tsunami struck, Secretary Clinton has spared no effort in coming to our aid, and even
called upon the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to quickly move these supplies from the West Coast to Samoa. Last
evening, Congresswoman Richardson and I learned that DOD had agreed to move the supplies but that due to legalities
of moving privately-donated goods, the process would take too long."
"In a previous conference call yesterday, anticipating that DOD might be unable to quickly move these supplies, we
requested the State Department to fund a commercial flight through the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance should we
encounter any problems with DOD," Faleomavaega and Rep. Richardson said. "Last night, upon learning that the DOD
process would take too long and in consideration of our request for a more immediate airlift, Secretary Clinton assessed
the options while en route to Europe, and this morning the State Department informed us that Secretary Clinton has
agreed to fund the flight with OFDA funds."
"The agreement is that this will be a one-time airlift, and our Samoan communities should make future donations in
cash, rather than in commodities. We will not be able to airlift frozen goods, and our offices will work closely with the
communities to gather the supplies to a central location for the airlift. Also, the airlift provided by the U.S. Department
of State can only be authorized to land in Samoa. While we were also hopeful to get supplies in to American Samoa, all
matters relating to American Samoa are decided between the Governor and FEMA, according to federal law."
"I know from my meeting earlier this week with Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi that he is thankful to the
Samoan congregations and communities in the greater Los Angeles area who responded from the heart by collecting
critical supplies that will now be airlifted to those in need," Faleomavaega said. "For this reason, I want to thank the
Prime Minister for agreeing to accept this gift, and I also want to thank Reverend Liki Tiatia, Reverend John Mailo,
Reverend Misipauena Tagaloa, and High Chief Loa Pele Faletogo for all the good work they have done. Reverend Tiatia
and Reverend Mailo will be taking a flight to Samoa to make the presentation to the Government of Samoa on behalf of
our Samoan community on the West Coast and also on behalf of Congresswoman Richardson and myself."
"I especially want to thank Congresswoman Richardson for working around the clock in support of our Samoan
communities living in her district, and in Samoa and American Samoa," Faleomavaega continued. "Congresswoman
Richardson has stood by us every step of the way and has left no stone unturned in getting this done. She has been
staunch and solid in her dedication to us, and has earned her rightful place in our hearts. It is my honor to welcome
Congresswoman Richardson into our Pacific Island family."
"With so many people in need of basic supplies in Samoa, it has been a privilege to work with Chairman Faleomavaega
to assist the people of my district in making sure the items they have collected will soon be in the hands of their families
and friends," Congresswoman Richardson said. "This feat is only possible because of the dedication of Chairman
Faleomavaega and Secretary Clinton. Over 60 local organizations in the 37th district of California, including church

groups, non-profit organizations and caring others collected over 100,000 pounds of essential items to send to victims of
the tragedy that recently occurred. The lives of thousands of Samoans will be immediately and directly improved by the
actions taken by Secretary Clinton, Chairman Faleomavaega and all of us who answered the call to help. I am proud to
be a part of this exceptional team."
"It is clear that change has come and that Secretary Clinton is restoring America's stature once again, especially in a part
of the world that the U.S. has too long neglected. We thank Secretary Clinton for her leadership and commitment, and
for standing with the people of Samoa when they need her most, and we continue to extend our deepest condolences
to the families and friends of those who are suffering so much," Faleomavaega and Rep. Richardson concluded.

Dear Hillary,
I very much hope we have a chance to spend some time with you next week for the "Sanya Initiatove" in DC with four
other American Four Stars and our Chinese counterparts. You will recall this is part of what I've been trying to do under
our "complementary engagement" program, which I briefly mentioned to you.
I understand our offices are working on the schedules, but nothing is firm yet.
Your personal involvement with this group - perhaps a small lunch - would be a very important message seen at the
highest levels of the Chinese government and the Central Military Commission.
I'd be personally grateful not only on behalf of our group, but also on behalf of a cause that I believe will be a part of
leading to a trusting relationship between our militaries so that we will have friends in China - not enemies.,
Warm, best regards,

Stewart,
I went for news and indeed Guy is right. The meeting occurred yesterday and the decision was made to revoke the
government on October 29. I wonder what happened with the initial decision which was strictly concerning Minister
Dorsainvil and which was for November 20th or 21st.The idea had been sold that Michele should not be touched as the
President did not care to have a vacuum in these electoral times. Plus, Michele was finally regarded as ambitionless (not
seeking presidential powers) which is not a bad thing under the circumstances. Apparently, she, not being amenable to
sacrificing some of her Ministers...and again, she being the one to name their replacements, has brought about the
decision to do away with her altogether. The trouble is that nobody seems willing to counter the President with whom
the instructions have originated. It is a head to head match between the Prime Minister and the President. That is
obviously not good. Nobody will stand against the President elect for the Prime Minister appointed.
I will have two meetings with separate parliamentarians tomorrow. On one end the ones voting to oust her on the
other the week opposition. The frustrating thing is that none have allegiance to her, just as none have the individual
power to stand against the vote for which consensus is being secured.
The UN and other international players (at least locally) after having cried victory, success and democracy are reluctant
to openly and publically denounce the matter. After announcing a week or two ago that Haiti is the new place to invest,

Hillary: FYI: I found this one of the most sensible and informed brief articles on Afghanistan. Patrick Cockburn, of the
London Independent, is one of the best informed on-the-ground journalists. He was almost always correct on Iraq. Sid
Eight years ago I was standing on a hill 50 miles north of Kabul watching the flashes in the night sky as the US air strikes
started again st the Taliban front line. There were a few ineffective puffs of fire from Taliban anti-aircraft guns which
could do nothing against the bombs and missiles raining down on them.
It was a strange war to cover, not least because so little real fighting took place. The reputation of the Afghan fighting
man is partly based on agilely joining the winning side at the right moment. In the meantime they don't fight too hard
for anybody and try to avoid getting killed.
The US and British press mostly reported the war of 2001 as a real military conflict and rather missed the point that the
Taliban had just gone home. I remember visiting the former headquarters of a Taliban armoured brigade in the city of
Ghazni south west of Kabul. The tanks and armoured vehicles had all been smashed to pieces by American bombs, but
when I asked local people how many men the Taliban had lost, I was told "none at all. They could see what was going to
happen so they just ran away."
Just as the US military victory of 2001 was overstated, so eight years later is the sense of military crisis which is being
busily stoked by Gen Stanley A McChrystal, the top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan. In Washington military
officials are quoted as saying that the war will be won or lost in the next twelve months.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760173 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760173 Date: 06/30/2015
This is nonsense. The Taliban have been able to advance so rapidly in the last three years because they have Pakistani
backing and because of the spectacular political and military weakness of President Hamid Karzai's government. But the
Taliban draw all their strength from the Pashtun community, which makes up 42 per cent of the Afghan population.
They will have great difficulty advancing into areas occupied by the other 58 per cent of the population where there is a
Tajik, Hazara or Uzbek majority.
Squads of six or eight Taliban on motorcycles might be harassing the roads around Kabul, but there is no need to treat
them as if they were North Vietnamese divisions at the gates of Saigon in 1975.
The strength of the Taliban is that not that they can take and hold territory, but that they can inflict quite small military
losses on the US which are politically unacceptable back home. They can do this through roadside bombs, something the
US army speaks as if it were a new device, though it was being used against the British army in Ireland in 1921. If the
Americans and British try to hold territory supposedly cleared of Taliban with penny packets of troops then these are
vulnerable to being suddenly targeted by the other side.
It is to prevent this happening that Gen McChrystal has asked for an extra 40,000 soldiers. But Afghans tell me that more
foreign troops will simply mean more violence and dead Afghans as more of the country becomes a battlefield. It is
absurd to imagine that the world's most heavily equipped military force is not going to use its weapons when it comes
under attack. Polls also show that Taliban support is at its height in just those areas where Afghan civilians have been
killed by American shells and bombs.
So what should Obama do? First of all he has time. He is not going to win or lose the war in the next year. Like it or not
he is stuck with Mr Karzai and he should get used to the idea. It is reasonable to suggest helping to produce a larger
Afghan army and police force but this cannot be done overnight. Most military recruits are there for the money and are
too malnourished even to wear American flack jackets. Speeding up security training f or Afghan police meant over the
summer that terrified men, often on heroin, were being sent to man dangerous and isolated police posts with just three
weeks training. Many of them did not come back.
One way Obama could strengthen the Afghan army and police is to make sure their men are paid properly. In Kabul
many facilities are being guarded by policemen earning $70 a month, which is not enough to live on unless
supplemented with bribes. This contrasts with $250,000 a year paid to foreign consultants who lurk inside heavily
defended compounds. Paying the Iraqi army properly really did make a difference in Baghdad and might do the same in
Afghanistan where 40 per cent of men are unemployed. A difference is that Iraqi oil revenues last year were $62 billion
while the Afghan government is dependent on foreign aid.
The US and its allies will have to pay. It is carefully thought out measures like this that Obama should be considering and
not the panicky dispatch of US Special Forces or tens of thousand of more troops.

Hope this finds you well. I wanted to update you on the success of the video and also share a new idea with you. Give
the statistical results below, I honestly believe this is the State Departments first ever successful instance of policy
advocacy via viral video and the impact we have raised is worth noting. I have heard comments from all over the
building and outside that this is a new level of creating content/video that is engaging, interesting, educating and that
can have long term value for State and partners to use. Bottom-line, we have done something new in raising
awareness/attention on a major foreign policy initiative through compelling, and viral video -- the Department of State
has raised the bar.
It is hard to read the traffic exactly to their sites and ours but here are some initial stats:
Top line: Using State.gov, America.gov, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and more, we have use new media and connection
technology tools to reach over an estimated 100K audiences domestically and internationally through the video on Food
Security and ultimately have brought press and attention to a new focus. This video is engaging in that it raises
awareness and education on a critical foreign policy issue.
1.
It is one of the top 20 videos viewed on our Youtube channel, with over 5K views and rising. Considering how much
video we generate through the daily press briefings and videos through S remarks daily, I think this carries tremendous
weight that in a short amount of time and little push to reach out to communities we have raised the bar for engaging
content through video.
2.
Many organizations and users on Youtube have picked up the video and reposted on their channels, for examples
it is has been picked up heavily in China from one user who generated 3K views on his own already and I have been told
that it has been posted on major Ethiopian blogs through their video channels as well.
3.
Over 12,000 (estimated) have visited our main video page through State.gov where the video was featured.
4.
Almost 9K people have visited the Global Food Security page through State.gov to get more information.
5. ' Through pushing out on social networking presences at State, we have reached over 65,000 people who subscribe
and follow the Department of State and we pushed this video and the broader FS page to those communities through
Facebook, Twitter, and more.
Next Steps:
1.
2.
3.
Will feature and push video to a larger audience when op-ed runs through a second push

New Idea:
Cheryl, wanted to talk to you about a new idea that I have presented before but thought about using for FS in a modified
form. I discussed with Caitlin and wanted to see if you thought this was a good idea.
This proposal is to ask that Secretary Clinton begin an online conversation on Food Security where she can engage with
people at home and abroad.
1.
Through a video announcement she announces the opening of a global and engaging talk worldwide talk on global
hunger and invites people to submit questions on the topic. People can submit questions via video, text, email,
comment.
2.
The community votes and comments on the best questions submitted by one another and votes on the best ones.
3.
After two weeks, Secretary Clinton answers then the top five questions in her own response video. *** We could
even bring person with best question to DC to be a citizen journalist for a day and ask the top questions in person.
4.
We then use this video as a way to talk about the most frequently asked questions on global hunger, HRC's
responses to them and we have engaged a global community on the topic.

Re: Draft Holbrooke Team
Attached is the draft memo in its current state from the Holbrooke team (it does not yet include RCN's hand edits which
he just sent in).
As you will see, the beginning of this memo lays out 4 strategic interests, 3 of which overlap with the goals we discussed
in our conversation; the fourth goes to the international consequences of success or failure.
Assuming we go with the approach we discussed, a cover memo should work reasonably well with this document
(excepting the discussion on the foreign aid piece). See if you agree.
To actually see the document in its current form with showing edits you need to print the attached version.
Below is the version that accepts all the proposed edits and eliminates the comments so you can read on BB if you
choose.

Dear Hillary,
You will remember our initiative to bring the most senior retired generals from the Chinese and US militaries. With
these 10 generals from the two countires, I am going to be in DC on October 21 and 22. these Generals have been part
our of our Sanya Initiative - the unofficial mil-mil dialogue I started last year. It'll be me, Joe Prueher, Charley Wilhelm,
Ron Fogleman, and Denny Reimer. The Chinese will be led by General Xiong Guangkai and include four other very senior
and respected Generals from the PLA.
The Chinese view this as a formal track one program and take it very seriously. We will meet with ADM Mullen and ADM
Keating in Honolulu and see GEN Cartwright at the Pentagon. It would be a terrific sign of the U.S.'s support for this
relationship if you were able join or host (I'd be pleased to fund) a very private dinner on the evening of the 21 or the
22nd of October. Just you, the Generals, and interpreters - perhaps the Chinese Ambassador if you think that would be
valuable.
I met with Kurt Campbell last month, and we will meet with him and Jim Steinberg. He expressed strong support for this
dialogue as well as the economic one we started in Beijing last August. You know we would welcome involvement from
State at any of our projects - our goal is to make a small but meaningful difference in the relationship.

I have to say that this argument that the Taliban are ok to ignore is dangerous morally and politically.
The argument at the time was that harboring terrorism was the same as launching terrorism and that those who
harbored would be held responsible. This also had long term deterrence value against regimes that would outsource the
dirty work.
To now even consider giving the Taliban a pass after harboring terrorists who committed direct attacks on new York and
Washington defies the imagination. This wasn't some embassy bombing but a strike right at our country. The white
house or congress barely escaped destruction. Saddam Hussein wasn't connected to al Qaeda but the Taliban surely
were without question.
And Teheran and north Korea are watching carefully, gauging how much resolve the us has in stopping their plans. If the
us lets the Taliban off the hook then they certainly can conclude it will do nothing beyond sanctions with them. And
essentially letting karzai twist in the wind also suggests the us does not live up to it's commitments, giving pause to
those who would help the us.
Politically, this is also quite dangerous. Obama maintained througout the campaign and the start of his presidency that
this is the one to fight and backing down here makes him and the administration vulnerable to losing moderate support
and seeming weak and indecisive.
A single terrorist incident would be blamed on the admin. failing to do the job right.
I could go on and on with other negative ramifications but of all the options it appears to me any strategy that says
fighting the taliban are not in the strategic interests of the us should be doa.

Re: Video Success and Another Idea
I can attest to the fact that this has thus far been the shining star of the initiative (from a non-policy perspective) and I
think speaks to how hrc will do diplomacy and development differently.
In addition to what katie mentioned-- Institute for International Education (goodman) included it in their weekly email to
more than 8000 institutions, Pepsi showed it an internal meeting last week and will show it at a global conference this
week, and CGI has gotten feedback about the video and has gotten increased interest in commitments in this area. It has
also been pushed out to posts through internal sites.
We are also trying to see if we can get it in a rotation or on mtvU or their website and bet as part of the world food day
push.

Hope this finds you well. I wanted to update you on the success of the video and also share a new idea with you. Give
the statistical results below, I honestly believe this is the State Departments first ever successful instance of policy
advocacy via viral video and the impact we have raised is worth noting. I have heard comments from all over the
building and outside that this is a new level of creating content/video that is engaging, interesting, educating and that
can have long term value for State and partners to use. Bottom-line, we have done something new in raising
awareness/attention on a major foreign policy initiative through compelling, and viral video -- the Department of State
has raised the bar.
It is hard to read the traffic exactly to their sites and ours but here are some initial stats:
Top line: Using State.gov, America.gov, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and more, we have use new media and connection
technology tools to reach over an estimated 100K audiences domestically and internationally through the video on Food
Security and ultimately have brought press and attention to a new focus. This video is engaging in that it raises
awareness and education on a critical foreign policy issue.
1.
It is one of the top 20 videos viewed on our Youtube channel, with over 5K views and rising. Considering how much
video we generate through the daily press briefings and videos through S remarks daily, I think this carries tremendous
weight that in a short amount of time and little push to reach out to communities we have raised the bar for engaging
content through video.
2.
Many organizations and users on Youtube have picked up the video and reposted on their channels, for examples
it is has been picked up heavily in China from one user who generated 3K views on his own already and I have been told
that it has been posted on major Ethiopian blogs through their video channels as well.
3.
Over 12,000 (estimated) have visited our main video page through State.gov where the video was featured.
4.
Almost 9K people have visited the Global Food Security page through State.gov to get more information.
5.
Through pushing out on social networking presences at State, we have reached over 65,000 people who subscribe
and follow the Department of State and we pushed this video and the broader FS page to those communities through
Facebook, Twitter, and more.
Next Steps:
1.
2.
3.
Will feature and push video to a larger audience when op-ed runs through a second push
4.
5.
Working to translate and subtitle video for usage in countries around the world.
New Idea:

Cheryl, wanted to talk to you about a new idea that I have presented before but thought about using for FS in a modified
form. I discussed with Caitlin and wanted to see if you thought this was a good idea.
This proposal is to ask that Secretary Clinton begin an online conversation on Food Security where she can engage with
people at home and abroad.
1.
Through a video announcement she announces the opening of a global and engaging talk worldwide talk on global
hunger and invites people to submit questions on the topic. People can submit questions via video, text, email,
comment.
2.
The community votes and comments on the best questions submitted by one another and votes on the best ones.
3.
After two weeks, Secretary Clinton answers then the top five questions in her own response video. *** We could
even bring person with best question to DC to be a citizen journalist for a day and ask the top questions in person.
4.
We then use this video as a way to talk about the most frequently asked questions on global hunger, HRC's
responses to them and we have engaged a global community on the topic.

Here is what we have come up with as agreed language from Bob, Eric, Mike, Melanne, Lissa and me. This can be used
for the letter and for press guidance. Melanne will send a letter to the GOSL and perhaps the UN Permrep. We will ask
the Post to release the letter to journalists in Colombo once it is received. I will schedule a press briefing at the Foreign
Press Center early this week, which will attract a good number of Asian journalists, and make sure the question is asked
so we can put it in proper context. We will have it for guidance in the Main State briefing if asked. PJ
BEGIN TEXT
Questions have been raised regarding remarks by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on September 30 before the United
Nations Security Council on the adoption of a resolution to combat sexual violence in armed conflict. In her statement,
she said that we have seen rape used as a tactic before in a number of countries, including Sri Lanka.
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760037 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760037 Date: 06/30/2015
Regarding the Secretary's reference to Sri Lanka in her address, we want to be clear. Over the course of the difficult
conflict between the government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), stretching into this
decade, the State Department as well as credible human rights organizations reported numerous cases of rape and
sexual violence in Sri Lanka, particularly acts committed against women held in detention by the government. This was
the basis for the Secretary's statement. At the same time, in the most recent phase of the conflict, from 2006 to 2009,
though we remained deeply concerned about reports of extrajudicial killings, disappearances and mistreatment of
detainees, we have not received reports that rape and sexual abuse were used as tools of war, as they clearly have in
other conflict areas around the world. We hope that this clarification puts the issue in its proper context.
These questions should not detract from the specific actions that Sri Lanka needs to take now. With the end of the
military conflict, Secretary Clinton believes strongly that Sri Lanka must focus to the future and move forward on the
promotion of peace and the protection of human rights. The government of Sri Lanka should release more than 250,000
displaced persons who are still confined in camps, and lead a process of genuine political and social reconciliation. The
United States stands ready to assist and support the people of Sri Lanka with these critical challenges.

(in Chinese)
Secretary Clinton,
Just wanted to make sure that you saw the news about one of China's oil conglomerates and the Iranian National Oil
Company over the
weekend:
Iran, China sign a major oilfield deal, Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:05:09 GMT China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) has signed
a contract with National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) for the development of Iran's South Azadegan oilfield. The Chinese
company will buy a 70 percent share of the whole project, according to an agreement signed Sunday in Lausanne,
Switzerland between CNPC and NIOC's overseas investment subsidiary, Naftiran Intertrade Company (NICO) that covers
a 90 percent stake in the project.
A likely explanation would be that this deal has been long in the making. Still, Tehran's motivation for releasing this
information in English at this time is worth considering.
The whole story from an English-language Iranian outlet is pasted in below, and I found three Chinese-language sources
with corroborating reports (nothing in English from China, though):

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759850 Date: 06/30/2015
CNPC, which won a bid in January to develop the North Azadegan oilfield, now holds a 70 percent share of the project
with NICO holding 20 percent, and lnpex of Japan having the remaining 10 percent.
The South Azadegan project is slated to produce 260,000 barrels of crude oil per day, and its development will cost
around $2.5 billion.
The field, along the Iraqi border, holds reserves estimated at approximately 42 billion barrels of oil, one of the world's
largest finds in the last 30 years.
Iran provides 14 percent of China's demand for oil.
The deal is couched in buy-back terms, in which CNPC will hand over the operation of the field to NIOC after
development and will receive payments from the oil production for a few years to cover its investment.
China's investment in Iran's energy sector has increased as some western countries, led by the US, have sanctioned Iran
over its peaceful nuclear program.

Here is what we have come up with as agreed language from Bob, Eric, Mike, Melanne, Lissa and me. This can be used
for the letter and for press guidance. Melanne will send a letter to the GOSL and perhaps the UN Permrep. We will ask
the Post to release the letter to journalists in Colombo once it is received. I will schedule a press briefing at the Foreign
Press Center early this week, which will attract a good number of Asian journalists, and make sure the question is asked
so we can put it in proper context. We will have it for guidance in the Main State briefing if asked. PJ
BEGIN TEXT
Questions have been raised regarding remarks by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on September 30 before the United
Nations Security Council on the adoption of a resolution to combat sexual violence in armed conflict. In her statement,
she said that we have seen rape used as a tactic before in a number of countries, including Sri Lanka.
Regarding the Secretary's reference to Sri Lanka in her address, we want to be clear. Over the course of the difficult
conflict between the government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), stretching into this
decade, the State Department as well as credible human rights organizations reported numerous cases of rape and
sexual violence in Sri Lanka, particularly acts committed against women held in detention by the government. This was
the basis for the Secretary's statement. At the same time, in the most recent phase of the conflict, from 2006 to 2009,
though we remained deeply concerned about reports of extrajudicial killings, disappearances and mistreatment of
detainees, we have not received reports that rape and sexual abuse were used as tools of war, as they clearly have in
other conflict areas around the world. We hope that this clarification puts the issue in its proper context.
These questions should not detract from the specific actions that Sri Lanka needs to take now. With the end of the
military conflict, Secretary Clinton believes strongly that Sri Lanka must focus to the future and move forward on the
promotion of peace and the protection of human rights. The government of Sri Lanka should release more than 250,000
displaced persons who are still confined in camps, and lead a process of genuine political and social reconciliation. The
United States stands ready to assist and support the people of Sri Lanka with these critical challenges.

-- Finally, there is the defining relationship with India. Are there measures that the Indians could take that would reduce
Pakistani anxieties about the Indian front and thus better enable them to focus on threats to the East, including both AQ
and anti-Indian militant groups like LET? Are there confidence building measures such as information sharing on troop
movements that would both reduce uncertainty and support a Pakistani public narrative for a shift in emphasis from
India to the militancy? To the extent India seeks to have Pakistan move more vigorously against the militants, they could
see such steps as advancing their interests. This is tricky territory but may be worth pursuing.
