Subject: FW: Greek/Turkish offers (proposal) (
Given the hour here, here is a potential short-term solution. Any future USG acceptances of aid to be coordinated through
NATO (see EADRCC sitreps that Task Force 1 receives daily for list of countries/items), should really be notified directly to
EADRCC, per USNATO 538, and as has occurred in other instances ~ State 170553 being the most recent example.
Can TF-1 email me the State notification cable that went to Athens, along with a note that says "TaskForce-1 requests you
to inform the EADRCC of the USG acceptance of this portion of the Greek offer."
This could help speed things along - NATO is targeted on Sept. 21 as the end date for all the lift deliver and coordinated
through it. Greeks need to hurry or they'll miss the planes. -John

EADRCC just called me again-they still have no official notification of acceptance of the Greek offer. Please let them
know, they need this official reply in order to coordinate airlift.
Additionally, the Turks called a few minutes ago. Is there an updated status on the Turkish offer? I told them it was not
accepted at this point.

I correct myself. It may be that late Friday that OFDA said no to certain things after hearingf from FEMA. WE are double
tracking with last OFDA rep.
WE have log of all cables sent out on acceptances. They will be entered into the matrix tomorrow
Matrix will become read only to avoid confusion. liP rep will handle changes. You should have copy of it in your in box.
No word on ship. Will check.
Housing issue being worked on now. No status.
Thanks for leWng me interrupt your meeting for a minute just now, Deborah. As I mentioned to you (Deborah). the thrust
of my conversation this afternoon with OFDA's Tony Stitt was that we (State) were to have said "No" to a number of offers
of material assistance (including, e.g .•: tents from Ireland, pumps from Lithuania, electricians from Northern Ireland.
clothes gathered by American military families in the Benelux region, water from Turkey, and misc. from Macedonia). at
least as of 9/8/05. .
In order to be better able to assisUguide desks (others) in responding to that, and other matters, I was wondering if you
would please answer the follOWing: .
1. May I (others in the working group) have the "log" of the cables that have gone out (esp. those saying yes, yes in part,
or yes to some & no to other elements of offers)
2. Is there any news re: gaining access to AID "e-room" where we might view the latest assistance matrix?

To My Successor:
Greece: Post researching private offer of cruise ship. Cable declining GOG cruise ship in draft (see below)
and needs L clarification on status of ships - are the ships underway? Note emails on c1as system -
embassy Athens has trouble receiving some unclas email.
USNATO: (1) For email to NATOIEADRCC, or any NATO-airlift related items, please copy John
Cockrell, Jeff Oppenheim at USNATO. (2) USNATO doesn't support State! OFDA airlift request from
governments (heard Department may ask for help on airlift). EADRCC, a NATO body, is on top of
situation and coordinating airlift.
Lithuania: Scott Woodard, Embassy Vilnius, has two questions: (1) accept or reject offer of 8k MREs? (2)
EU Mechanism list credits Lithuania with offering MREs plus medical supplies - where did offer come
from? In answer, please cc: Nancy Cohen, Thomas P. Kelly.
Turkey, Georgia, Russia: See previous activity log for pending items.
Review matrix on "total declines." Review EUR countries after Greece to confirm they should be on the
list.
Ukraine: See 13:05 email from post, and 14:38 resonse. Post wants us to accept 9 tons of supplies as welI as

Peggy, here's the latest from OFDA. As far as I can piece together (sometimes hard pulling together all pieces of the story from
OFDA, AMCC, Ramstein), a Turkish C-130 wi\lleave today, carrying the last of the NATO cargo to lRAFB, expected to get there
Oct. 2. .
!imagine we need to think about Amb. Nuland making a statement at the NAC Wed. Oct. 5, and coordinating with NATO the

Is it possible 'to get us confirmation from Washington that this is what we should do? I

Ronl'Alan,
I spoke with John Bass. He said he's fine either way if Arnb Nuland believes she needs to
make a statement thanking everyone and turning off the NATO resources. That being said,
he said it may be odd if later we end up asking for NATO to turn anything back on to try
to get the MREs (or other donations) back to Europe. He said he will be djscussina this
with Kurt on Monday, so I think we're fine keeping NATO on a string until a decisron-can
ire made next week. .

Alan - I want to be careful how I answer your question .... Yes, NATO reports that the
Turkish aircraft that is scheduled to arrive on 2 Oct contains the last shipment of
humanitarian goods. We have resisted saying that the NATO airbridge is complete since we
want to maintain the maximum flexibility -- without keeping NATO aircraft on the string
for nothing.
Peggy Plunkett, our office, is running this by John Bass: We will not issue any guidance
to USNATO until we have had a chance to speak with him about this and consult our front
office.

Hello.
I'm coming inlale on this, but I thoughtl would pass on this info in case it was helpful.

Suzanne:
\
There were two separate offers thai NATO might have had knowledge of. The first wasfrorn a Turkish
businessman who offered 1.2 million bottles of US Vetcom approved water. He does business with the
I
base at Incirlik, so DAO and ODe were the ones who brought this to us, General Sutton was also • . I
involved, and they talked about using the empty planes thai fly back from Incirlik to transport the water. I
NATO might have been informed of this as well. We never got a response back from the Taskforce on
Ihis. My latest conversation with them on this was Friday, where they told me it was being vetted by
FEMA. This was; however, not a GOT official offer. .
The other offer of assistance was the GOT offer of 1 million of in-kind assistance. The Turkish Embassy in
DC was informed by Harry Thomas (and I understand from Bernadette also by the Red Cross) that neither
the USG nor Ihe ARC would be accepting any more in-kind donations at this time.
Without more specifics as to which offer NATO is referring to, J can't say for sure that it's riot the GOT's
official offer, but nonetheless, as of Friday the MFA and the Turkish Emergency Management Agency were
aware that the 1 million couldn't be accepted at this time.
Tom/Rebecca-
Bernadette is out today, and I wanted to get your input on this.. This is not/not the same thing as the in-kind
donations that the GOT was trying 10 give the Red Cross, is il? .
Please advise.
Thanks,
Suzanne

Suzanne, Bemadette:
Late last week, the Turkish mission to NATO was repeatedly pinging us on whether or not the USG had
accepted its offer of Katrina aid. Turkey would like to send the aid to the U.S. via NATO lift.
NATO's EADRCC (Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Center) has been coordinatinq this lift
effort, and would need to know the status of USG acceptance/denial in order to plan effectively. EADRCC
expects all lift to the U.S, to finish September 21, so it's getting close to the point where even if the USG
accepts. Turks will have no transport to the U.S.
Could you let me know if State has sent out a formal acceptance or rejection of any sort to Turkey? We've
asked TaskForce-1 to include us on this traffic, but sometimes given shift changes, etc. it hasn't
happened. If Stale hasn't yet answered the Turkish offer positively or negatively, I would encourage that
the powers that be be pushed to do 5.0 ASAP,
I presume the Turks have been double tracking this, and in addition to pinging us (questionable, in my
opinion), they have been wqrking this in Washington, too. Please lei me know if that's not Ihe case.

Capt Ponds-
Per your request, I just spoke with Todd at OFDA Logistics, who said he did not know the status of Turkish assistance
offer (which I note is conveyed in Ankara 5394, which I have copied al the bottom of this email chain). He suggested I
'contact Lisa Gisvold in CMS, who in turn said Deborah McCarthy would probably be the best person to contact on this
matter; I note Deborah was a recipient of your email.

Embassy Ankara Acting OeM Jim Moore just called to report that he had received a phonecall from the MFA Deputy DG
for International Political Organizations expressing sympathy, and stating that the Government of Turkeywould be making
a formal offer of assistance. The AlDCM provided the list of USG critical needs. An action officer from the Embassy will
follow up with the Government tomorrow during business hours. AlDCM also noted that he understood from the Task
Force that the offer currently included in the matrix (search and rescue team) was the result of a general intention
expressed by the local Turkish mission in DC to provide a search and rescue team. Embassy Ankara had not been
approached about that specific offer. .
Baxter,
Can you make sure tonight that the TU contribution is captured in "The Matrix" of assistance?

Hi Deborah'- We could pull from the White House Weekly Tasker I drafted yesterday,
and the last AID movements. Both attached here, although maybe you edited/added to the
weekly before submitting to Kelly Irey. AID contact James Fleming told me yesterday that
the final NATO flight went on 10/2. Not sure where they're getting the info below that
there's another one today. Circling back to AID to clarify. Michelle
Deputy Spokesman Adam Ereli was told the final NATO flight into Little Rock,
Arkansas, is taking place today, and asked for some points from which the Spokesman can
draw to highlight the NATO effort at the top of today's press briefing:
UNCCASSIFIED
Today marks the arrival of the final flight delivering NATO assistance to
Hurricane Katrina victims.
Great support from and cooperation with our allies in this effort
Today's flight will be the # th flight bringing NATO aid to Americans,
having delivered (specific numbers and items) that were used to (for what
purpose? ) .
