UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761872 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL 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.

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. 8 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760568 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760568 Date: 06/30/2015 "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 9 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760568 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760568 Date: 06/30/2015 project that brought together Facebook, Google, Howcast, YouTube, AT&T, MTV, Columbia Law School, Access360Media and Gen-Next for an Alliance of Youth Movements summit.

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. 36 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760590 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760590 Date: 06/30/2015 "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."

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 campaigning—particularly 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 had—which was built for political speed and presidential comfort—instead 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 42 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760595 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760595 Date: 06/30/2015 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. 43 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760595 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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 supporters—liberal columnists, prominent donors, Democratic Party stalwarts—have 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. Empty posts, weak policies 6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760667 Date: 06/30/2015 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 7 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760667 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760667 Date: 06/30/2015 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 country—and the world—as 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.

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.

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 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.

I said I wouldn't read too much into terms such as "illegal entry" and "suspected hostile acts"; I was still convinced that the track we've been pursuing, i.e. gaining consular access through the Swedish Amb. in Pyongyang, and contact via other diplomatic channels, offered hope for a resolution. Mr. Gore said he very much appreciated the call. He asked that we convey as much of this information as we could to the family members. I told him we would do so through CA.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee plans to approve a bill Tuesday aimed at spurring a "green revolution" to combat global food insecurity, in part by loosening restrictions on using U.S. aid to buy food overseas. The legislation (S 384) would authorize $500 million for a new emergency food assistance fund that could be used to buy food in the affected region instead of buying it in the United States and shipping it overseas. Critics say that system costs too much, takes too long to provide aid and depresses local prices when U.S. products arrive. The bill, by panel ranking Republican Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, also would create a global food "czar" position at the White House and authorize $7.75 billion for agriculture research and exchange programs through fiscal 2014. "We can bring America's dedication to science, innovation, technology and education together to lead an effort devoted to overcoming the obstacles to food security," Lugar said upon introducing the bill last month. To keep up with rising population and an expanding middle class in countries such as China and India, farmers will have to double their food output by 2050, Lugar said. At the same time, he said, the share of U.S. development spending devoted to agriculture dropped from 25 percent in 1980 to 1 percent in 2003. Anti-hunger activists support Lugar's effort to allow local purchase of food, but past efforts have run into farmstate interests that support requirements to buy U.S. crops. The bill would give the president discretion to use the fund to meet "unexpected urgent food assistance needs." OPIC Reauthorization 38 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761526 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761526 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

The senator's full remarks as prepared are below: 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 so—ultimately—is 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 funding—even 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 policy—and 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 budget—an 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 needed—and 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 Korea—combined. 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 law—but 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 years—a 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 worlds—or become an epicenter for radicalism and violence on a cataclysmic scale. Now imagine that 17 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 America took a long, hard look at the status quo of our policy towards a nation at just such a crossroads—and 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 Lebanon—houses 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 behind—and 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 society—will 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 globally—and 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 stage—and 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 Afghanistan—and 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. ### THE PRESIDING OFFICER: WHO YIELDS TIME IN OPPOSITION TO THE AMENDMENT? THE SENATOR FROM NORTH DAKOTA. MR. CONRAD: MR. PRESIDENT, WHEN THE SENATOR APPROACHED ME ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY, I TOLD HIM THAT I WOULD STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS AMENDMENT. AND I TOLD HIM THAT BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN HARD TO PUT TOGETHER, AND WE'VE TRIED TO HAVE AN EQUAL SHARING OF SACRIFICE BETWEEN ALL OF THE SPENDING ELEMENTS OF A BUDGET. WE'VE TRIED TO DO IT WITH RESPECT TO DOMESTIC SPENDING, DEFENSE SPENDING. WE'VE TRIED TO DO IT WITH MANDATORY SPENDING. AND INTERNATIONAL IS A COMPONENT OF THE DISCRETIONARY SIDE OF THE BUDGET, SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY FAIR THAT THEY BE ASKED TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION. NOW, WHEN I TOLD THE SENATOR YESTERDAY THAT I WOULD STRONGLY RESIST THIS AMENDMENT, I DID NOT KNOW, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT HE HAD AN OFFSET FOR THAT AM AMENDMENT, AND THAT DOES ALTER THE SITUATION. THAT MAKES IT MORE PALATABLE BECAUSE WE MAINTAIN THE SAME BOTTOM LINE. BUT IT DOES CONCERN ME THAT WE ARE UPSETTING THE BALANCE OF WHAT I THINK IS A FAIR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PAIN OF THE CUTBACKS THAT WE HAVE HAD TO MAKE. AND I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT, YOU KNOW, OTHER PARTS OF THE BUDGET ARE BEING ASKED TO TAKE REDUCTIONS FROM THE PRESIDENT'S REQUEST AND NOW INTERNATIONAL WILL NOT. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY, I FIND THAT TROUBLING. I UNDERSTAND ABSOLUTELY THE SUBSTANCE OF THE ARGUMENT THAT THE SENATOR IS MAKING, AND HE IS RIGHT TO MAKE IT. HE IS CHAIRMAN OF THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE, BUT I DO HOPE THAT COLLEAGUES THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT KIND OF THE EQUITY OF THE BURDEN HERE. THE EQUITY OF THE BURDEN. THE SECOND THING I WANT TO SAY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AMENDMENT IS IT USES A 920 OFFSET. AND WE CAME OUT OF THE COMMITTEE WITH ABOUT $7 BILLION IN SAVINGS IN 920. THAT'S GENERAL OVERHEAD OF ALL OF THE AGENCIES. IN OTHER WORDS, ITS A ACROSS THE BOARD -- IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD, GOES TO THEIR OVERHEAD ACCOUNTS AND COULD WE TAKE 19 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 SOMEWHAT MORE IN 920? YES, BUT NOT MUCH MORE. BUT NOT MUCH MORE. WE CAME OUT OF THE COMMITTEE AT $7 BILLION. I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO STAY AT ABOUT $10 BILLION IN 920. THIS WOULD TAKE US TO $11 BILLION. AND SO I'M TROUBLED BY THAT AS WELL. WITH THAT SAID, I DON'T -- I DON'T INTEND TO OPPOSE THIS AMENDMENT, BUT I DO FIND IT TROUBLING ON THOSE TWO GROUNDS. ONE, IT DOES AFFECT THE FAIRNESS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE PAIN, IF YOU WILL, OF THE CUTBACKS WE'VE HAD TO MAKE. AND, NUMBER TWO, IT ADDS TO THE SECTION 920 OFFSETS IN A WAY THAT, TO ME, TAKES IT A LITTLE PAST THE REALM OF WHAT'S REASONABLE. BUT WITH THAT SAID, I DON'T INTEND TO OPPOSE THIS AMENDMENT AND ASK COLLEAGUES TO VOTE AGAINST IT. I YIELD THE FLOOR. 20 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. C05761529 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Mills, Cheryl D Wednesday, April 01, 2009 5:33 AM Abedin, Huma Fw: Attached letter SCAN3561_000.pdf You can't likely read the attachment but it is a long letter to Jim saying he's sorry he has missed Jim's calls (nothing about mine) and that he is taking job with energy.

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.

I care deeply about this, I got into politics because I was frustrated by how little I could help living in a refugee camp on the Ethiopian-Somali border. The substantive policies obviously matter most, we got some right and some wrong in Clinton years, but the results of our bipartisan research may be useful. Here's my super-concise private summary: 1. The goal is help people be able to help themselves. The size of the program is important to advocates, but Americans want to know the ultimate goal is to be helping people be able to care for themselves (like grow enough food for Africa). 2. We all agree that kids should be a key focus and the best reason for any program is the moral importance. It's fine to acknowledge we do these programs for a variety of pragmatic reasons, but the most powerful reason is moral. It is the right thing to do. 3. We mostly all agree it is ok to spend money on these programs, but we should always note how we are fighting for reform too. The two concepts are not antagonists, but partners. And we are partners with other countries, this is not hand outs. There are mutual responsibilities. 4. Corruption is a major reason why people, rightly, think the programs don't work. 5. Even as folks are skeptical of the big promise, they still want us to try. Let me know if this is useful, we have a lot more insights if helpful. And I think this is the most important substantive issue -- how to get these policies right.

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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760795 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760795 Date: 06/30/2015 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760795 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760795 Date: 06/30/2015 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760795 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760795 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

The Bolivian-born Otero is president and CEO of Accion International and a member of the board of the Clinton Global Initiative, and is an expert on sustainable microfinance with an interest in global women's issues, a key interest of Secretary Clinton. Former State Department counselor Wendy Sherman is being discussed for high level posts. Among them, the Asia expert, Albright Group principal, and close Hillary Clinton advisor is being discussed as a candidate for under secretary of state for economic affairs, now that Lael Brainard has gone to the Treasury Department, and as a possible nominee to be uS, ambassador to China. (Update: and USAID administrator.) 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 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.

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.

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.

Mrs. Clinton, in her first visit to Baghdad as secretary of state, acknowledged that the attacks were worrisome. She said she would seek a briefing on the security situation from the American military commander, Gen. Ray Odierno, in her first meeting on Saturday, a day packed with appointments. But she played down suggestions that the attacks augured a return to the relentless sectarian violence that convulsed Iraq in 2006. She said they did not signal that a new jihadist movement was taking root in Iraq, which could derail the progress the country has made in the last two years. "In Iraq, there will always be political conflicts," Mrs. Clinton said to reporters before setting off on the unannounced visit Friday evening. "But I really believe that Iraq, as a whole, is on the right track." She characterized the latest bout of violence as the last gasp of "rejectionists" who fear that the government will succeed in creating a united and peaceful Iraq. The suicide bombings, she said, are "in an unfortunately tragic way, a signal that the rejectionists fear that Iraq is going in the right direction." "Are there going to be bad days? Yes, there are," Mrs. Clinton said. But she added, "If you look at the evidence, overwhelmingly the progress that's been made has been positive." The Obama administration, she said, was determined to help Iraq achieve "stability, sovereignty, and self-reliance," as the United States prepares to pull out the last of its troops by the end of 2011. Mrs. Clinton has been a regular visitor here, coming three times as a senator to chart the progress of a war she voted to authorize, but later said had been mismanaged by the Bush administration. She said she was pleased to be back, though the attacks have cast a shadow over her visit. While the violence is far below the worst levels in 2006, 18 major attacks this month have kindled fears that Baathist and jihadist elements could be reconstituting themselves into a smaller, but still deadly, insurgency that will exploit the withdrawal of American troops between now and 2011. Mrs. Clinton compared these latest suicide bombings to a spectacular terrorist attack that occurred several months after the Good Friday peace accord ended years of conflict in Northern Ireland. At times, her analysis almost echoed that of former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. When the sectarian violence was relentless several years ago, Mr. Cheney spoke of the insurgency being in its "last throes," while Mr. Rumsfeld talked of "dead-enders" who kept fighting a lost cause. On Friday, Gen. David Petraeus, the head of the military's Central Command, testified before a House appropriations committee that the suicide bombers may have been part of a militant network based in Tunisia. Four of the bombers, he said, were from Tunisia. Mrs. Clinton said she did not have specific information on the bombers, but said: "We've seen suicide bombers from many countries in Iraq over the last six years. It's unfortunate that young men, and occasionally even a young woman, would travel to Iraq to kill other people in that way." 41 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761349 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761349 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

On her first visit to Iraq as America's top diplomat, Clinton said the country has made tremendous strides despite the recent violence and continues to deserve support as the Obama administration moves to reduce the U.S. military presence there. Clinton arrived in Baghdad Saturday on an unannounced trip after suicide bombings in the capital and outside killed at least 148 people on Thursday and Friday. The attacks have exposed gaps in security as Iraq takes over from U.S. forces in protecting the country.

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.

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 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 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.

To a person, the heads of delegation were hugely complimentary. Good, very candid — even "frank" as the diplomats say -- level of engagement, a lot of positive feeling and trust built up, an eagerness for this group to continue engaging and — perhaps — make some progress. Dan Reifsnyder, an OES DAS who's been here a long time, said it was best meeting of this kind he has seen in 20 years. Issues still damnably difficult, but a pretty palpable sense in the room that something good had happened. Hearty congrats from the Chinese, UK, Japanese, Aussies, EU, Danes, Swedes, South Africans, etc. Mike Froman did an excellent job as Chair (I was head of U.S. delegation), and Steve Chu and John Holdren did very useful presentations yesterday. Heads of delegation met with President in Blue Room for a reception late yesterday afternoon, which went over big. Mike and I met with President in Oval beforehand. Reception at Kennedy Center in evening for whole delegations, plus people from Hill, NG0s, etc., yesterday. Sen. Kerry spoke. We followed up with a long bilateral with China and then a private dinner with the UK. More bilats tomorrow. Next meeting of the Forum May 25-26 in Paris.

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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 1 Doc No. C05761078 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761078 Date: 06/30/2015 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. On comparing the Clinton, Bush, and Obama Administrations 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. President Obama's first 100 days UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. Fg:2014-20439 Doc No. C05761078 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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 — Edward M. Avalos Under Secretary Marketing & Regulatory Services USDA Luis C. de Baca Ambassador-at-Large Monitor Human Trafficking State Lorelei Boylan Administrator Wage & Hour Division Labor Gabriella Gomez Asst Secretary Legislation/Congressional Affairs Education Sandra B.

High Level Staff Positions. Though Hispanics are severely under-represented at this level as well, NHLA commends the President for appointing 27 well qualified Hispanics to other high level positions throughout his Administration including the White House (17), Transportation, Labor, Homeland Security, State, Office Personnel Management, Peace Corps, and U.S. Trade Representative (3).

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. 24 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761078 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761078 Date: 06/30/2015 NHLA reaffirms its unqualified commitment to continue working with the President and those in his Administration to help get America back on the right track and moving again.

Schol Cc: Diane and Dave Weisz Young; David Young (on Hill) Subject: Visit of worldwide United Methodist Bishops -- possible to arrange a meeting with Hillary? John and Burns, Great talking to you both this evening. 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).

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.

Karzai call is at noon. Challenger withdraws from race to unseat Afghan president KABUL (Reuters) — One of the top candidates expected to bid to unseat Afghan President Karzai withdrew abruptly from the election race, dealing a blow to opposition hopes of fielding a contender with a broad enough base to win. Gul Agha Sherzai, popular governor of Nangarhar Province and a former anti-Soviet guerrilla commander, had been in talks to head up a broad opposition ticket with two vice presidential candidates that would span ethnic lines. But he told a news conference that he had met Karzai and had been persuaded not to run.

She wanted me to make that clear to the reporter. I just spoke to Mark Landler, told him on the record (which I reiterated below via email) that Secretary Clinton holds General Jones in the highest regard, she has nothing but the highest praise for him, and that I was more than happy to put her on the phone to make herself clear on this point — since they did not speak about their relationship during her lengthy interview for the story. I especially made the point that identifying this person as someone "in her circle" was incredibly misleading. Someone in her circle is someone like you, or a Jake, or me. And none of us would ever say anything like that. Someone who was slated for a position at State irrespective of the choice of HRC as Secretary should not be allowed to be identified that way. Mark conceded that point and let me know he will be changing the sourcing to read, "But State Department officials, and others in the administration..." It's a small consolation, but I think a very important one.

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.

(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... 1" UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761738 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761753 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Monday, May 11, 2009 11:19 AM FW: Request to see the Secretary, the Deputies and Undersecretary Burns FYI From: Boucher, Richard A Sent: Monday, May 11, 2009 10:12 AM To: Macmanus, Joseph E; Crocker, Bathsheba N; Russell, Daniel A; Campbell, Piper A Cc: McLean, Lori A; Mills, Cheryl D; S_SpecialAssistants; Coleman, Claire L; Rana, Gautam A; West, Thomas; Smith, , Daniel B; Richard, Dona F Subject: Request to see the Secretary, the Deputies and Undersecretary Burns As most of you know, this will be my last week as Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia.

LEW DEPARTMENT OF STATE Fiscal 2010 State-Foreign Operations Appropriations Introduction: A New American Leadership Madam Chairwoman, Representative Granger, members of the subcommittee, it is an honor to appear before you today to discuss the principles and priorities that underlie President Obama's international affairs budget request for 2010. During our first months in office, the Obama Administration has launched an ambitious foreign policy agenda, recognizing, as the President has said, that the challenges of our time will not wait for sequencing. The United States confronts what may well be the most complex array of threats in our history -- Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, terrorism, climate change, pandemic disease, extreme poverty, nuclear proliferation, and global criminal networks. American leadership remains essential. But we cannot meet these threats alone. Nor can we use only one set of tools. Tackling these challenges successfully -- and seizing the opportunity to help build a more peaceful and prosperous world -- requires robust partnerships, greater capacity, and stronger institutions. It also means that we must invest more in the programs and people with the skills and capabilities to address these complex challenges. This approach is what Secretary of State Clinton has called "smart power." As she has explained, only through the appropriate use of smart power -- harnessing the tools of diplomacy, development and defense -- will we succeed. These three pillars of smart power are essential to prevent and deter conflict and emerging threats. The resources in this budget fund the operational elements required to support two pillars of our smart-power strategy -- diplomacy and development. We know that the key to our security and prosperity is a stable and secure world. And we also know that our power does not just come from our military might, but from our values, our capacity to form strong partnerships, and our ability to improve the lives of others so we do not pay the price of global poverty, instability, and ultimately, conflict. This budget represents a fraction of what our government spends each year on what has traditionally been defined as national security, reflecting the cost-effectiveness of prevention through diplomacy and development. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 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 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 collaboration. Our diplomatic and development teams are increasingly posted in situations that resemble military conditions rather than traditional diplomatic assignments. We simply cannot spread our workforce thinner, and thinner without increasing the risk that while we address a current hotspot we are missing an opportunity to prevent the next crisis or engage in such a way as to build new and capable partners. The FY 2010 budget requests $283 million to support adding over 740 new Foreign Service personnel at the Department of State, a significant step toward achieving a 25 percent increase in State Foreign Service personnel over four years. I want to call special attention, however, to our efforts to rebuild USAID, where, as many of you have noted, human resources have significantly eroded over the past decade, even as we have ramped up development activities and our expectations of our lead development institution. The FY 2010 request includes a 45 percent increase in USAID operations to support adding an additional 350 new permanent USAID Foreign Service Officers and related capital improvements under the Agency's Development Leadership Initiative. The FY 2010 budget puts the USAID on a path to double its Foreign Service officers by 2012. The budget also would provide the resources needed to train the expanded workforces of both State and USAID with the language, diplomatic, development and managerial skills necessary for their mission, and allow us to increase civilian presence and leadership in places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. We must not only expand our reach but improve our management and oversight capacity. We see contract reform as a critical component of that effort. In FY 1990, USAID employed nearly 3,500 permanent direct hires administering $5 billion a year in assistance. As of FY 2008, USAID employed about 2,200 permanent direct hires administering $13.2 billion in assistance. USAID's ability to provide strategic direction and appropriate oversight is clearly challenged at this level. This diminished workforce has resulted in contracting out more and more programs and activities, bundling activities under large mechanisms, and in many cases, higher overall costs. The only way to reverse this trend is to increase the core of foreign and civil service staff whose full time and sole responsibility is to serve their mission. Foreign and civil service officers on the ground need to be developing objectives, working with locally based organizations, providing oversight, and making decisions about how resources are utilized. We have announced our intent to double foreign assistance by 2015. This can only be accomplished if we have the people on board to drive the program. The State Department has long needed greater capacity to respond quickly to stabilize situations at times of conflict or crisis. These situations may be caused by political or natural disasters, but they share a common need for a rapid civilian response. Our military men and women are often called upon to respond to situations for which they were not trained and where a civilian presence would be more effective. The military has done an extraordinary job, but it cannot -- and should not -- handle these situations alone. In order to build the capacity to deploy civilians rapidly, we are requesting $363 million for the Civilian Stabilization Initiative. This will expand our total response team to over four thousand persons and greatly increases our ability to prevent and respond to conflict 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 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. 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 Our "top-down" development strategy must strengthen the ability of governments to support just and capable institutions that meet the basic needs of their populations; and the enabling environment for broad-based, equitable economic growth, including access to the global economy. Our "bottom-up" development strategy partners with citizens and civic groups to build human capacity, ultimately spurring the power of individuals and societies to innovate, cooperate, and solve problems -- both locally and globally. Overall, 56 percent of our assistance request is targeted to development programs, with special emphasis on economic development and good governance, global health, food security, education, and global climate change. As Secretary Clinton has said, "We believe that extreme poverty poses a grave threat to global security and certainly to prosperity." Development experts have predicted that 50 million more people could end up living in poverty this year. A sharp increase in global poverty has the potential to spark new humanitarian crises, erode gains from a wide range of U.S. taxpayer investments in development, reverse progress toward achieving the Millennium Development goals, and destabilize countries that are our partners. Many responsible countries cannot raise funds to support safety nets, restore financial markets, or serve the poor. These burdens will disproportionately fall on women and children, who are the most marginalized in many populations and who constitute the great majority of poor around the globe. Raising the status of women and their families -- and supporting their participation in the political, economic and social spheres of society -- is a key ingredient of our development goals. Moreover, investing in women is one of the most effective development tools for poverty alleviation and a country's general prosperity. It remains a simple fact that no country can hope to get ahead if half of its citizens are left behind. In recognition of this imperative, the Secretary has consolidated activities that were spread across the State Department in an Office of Global Women's Issues to ensure that our foreign policy programs, including our development initiatives, reflect the needs and perspectives of women and girls. Economic Development & Good Governance: The FY 2010 request demonstrates the Administration's strong commitment to fighting poverty, both because it is important for our national security interests, but also to further American values. Funding for economic growth and democratic progress, both critical to achieving sustainable development and accountable governance, are up significantly over last year's level: $4.7 billion -- a 16 percent increase over FY 2009 -- is requested to drive economic growth; and $2.8 billion -- a nine percent increase over FY 2009 -- is requested for assistance to strengthen democracy and good governance worldwide. Support for economic growth and governance is particularly critical in Africa and each is up by more than 30 percent over the current year: economic growth in Africa grows from $891 million in FY 2009 to a request of $1.175 billion, and governance from $265 million to $347 million. Funding is targeted to development needs and economic opportunity and governance programs critical to the success of the investments we have 5 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 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 6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 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 7 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 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, 8 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 corruption, impunity, and weak governmental institutions. We request $550 million in the FY 2010 request to strengthen our efforts under the Merida Initiative to combat narcotics and arms trafficking, gangs and organized crime in our hemisphere by strengthening law enforcement and interdiction capacity. Other regional priorities include continued support for Colombia's fight against terrorism and narcotics trafficking -- although at a reduced rate as Colombia continues assuming greater responsibility for counter-narcotics efforts. And we are meeting the President's Summit of the Americas Commitments with $55 million for energy and climate change, $31 million for a Caribbean Security Initiative as part of the President's Shared Security Partnership to compliment Merida, and $10 million for an education partnership for at-risk youth. Together with the review of our strategy in Haiti, and on the heels of the Secretary's visit, we are requesting significant funding for Haiti to strengthen its democracy, reduce poverty, protect the environment, and expand counter-narcotics programs. In the security sector, U.S. programs will focus on recruiting, training and equipping Haiti's police, and on stabilizing urban hot zones that until recently were incubators of gang warfare and political violence. On economic growth, we will focus on developing the country's finance sector, helping the government create a regulatory environment favorable to investors, and growing the capacity of the country's agriculture industry. In Africa, the imperative to counter the threats of AIDS, Malaria, and other major obstacles to health and prosperity remains compelling. The global economic crisis has hit Africa harder than expected, with food insecurity exacerbated by low commodity export revenues and dwindling remittances and investment flows. These factors have threatened social unrest and political instability, particularly in the form of coups. Our response is designed to promote economic growth and support good governance in order to create greater opportunities, as well as to address issues such as food insecurity, with significant resources targeted to those countries in Africa that have the potential to become regional bread baskets. We also seek to buttress the continent against the erosion of the hard-won gains in political stability and democratic progress, particularly in Kenya and Liberia. Finally, our request is targeted to help resolve and prevent destabilizing conflicts, especially in Sudan, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. African entrepreneurs and civil society leaders have begun to reorient their societies toward growth and better governance. With our support and partnership, we can save lives, prevent instability and extremism from advancing, and put Africa back on the road to a prosperous future. Many countries of East Asia and the Pacific have, in the course of a generation, lifted themselves out of poverty and become models for economic prosperity and political diversity. Our goals for the region include ensuring peace, consolidating democratic gains, and fostering continued economic reforms to reach the region's poorest citizens. Our programs in the Philippines and our work in North Korea help to reduce the risk of terrorism and nuclear proliferation which threaten the United States and the region. On the democracy front, Secretary Clinton announced the launch of a U.S.-Indonesian Comprehensive Partnership during her trip to Jakarta in February. This partnership seeks to support the successful transformation of the world's third largest democracy into a 9 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 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 10 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 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. 11 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 Conclusion: Managing for Success 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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 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. 13 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761340 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761878 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Cherie Blair Wednesday, May 13, 2009 6:26 AM hr15@mycingular.blackberry.net confidential Hilary, You may know but for the last four years I have been working with the Qatari's and in particular with ssues in Qatar and I have built up a good relationship with them on 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.

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 world—from responding to natural disasters to promoting democratic governance—that 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.

Piccuta's departure will leave the embassy "decapitated" as of July 1, a source said. "If the process for selecting an ambassador to Beijing wasn't in high gear before, we better hope it is now," the official said. The U.S. embassy in Beijing will also need a formal, actual deputy chief of mission. One possibility -- that Bill Weinstein, who has been the effective DCM in Beijing for four months now, would be able to drop the "acting" title. (The Cable previously reported that several people had turned down the Beijing ambassador job.) Piccuta's retirement announcement here: From: Beijing All Embassy Sent: Monday, May 11, 2009 5:36 PM To: ALL EMBASSY BEIJING Subject: BROADCAST NOTICE: Dan Piccuta - Retirement It seems to me that for some time now we have been living in a non-stop diplomatic highlights film. I won't soon forget the thrill of supporting our US Olympic family, the President and other Americans during the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympic Games. We can be proud to have safely and securely consolidated employees at our beautiful new embassy where proximity to colleagues and techno wizardry have catalyzed collaboration in our professional efforts. To that list we can now add our contributions to the engagement with China of a new U.S. administration through mutual efforts to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive bilateral relationship. Your accomplishments are too numerous to mention in more detail, but the depth, breadth and excellence of our agencies and posts in China are acclaimed as without equal among U.S. diplomatic missions. Just as important have been successes in improving work-life balance throughout the Mission, in facilitating employment of our family members, and in promoting the sense of community and mutual support among employees, sections, and agencies as well as with constituent and neighboring posts. I am hopeful that some have noticed the effort to provide deserving officers, specialists, family members and LES employees with opportunities for professional growth including in supervisory and leadership roles. Because of the ever-increasing diversity and talent of our team, the exit of any one colleague has never diluted our combined strength nor caused us or the Department concern. I am therefore confident that we will manage the many transitions we'll address in the coming months with exceptional competence and that we can count on each others' support as we prepare for new leadership throughout UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761918 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761918 Date: 06/30/2015 this terrific Mission. As many of you know, Christina has been preparing our Hawaii home since March. No future challenge or incentive nor any measure of past success could fully repay two decades of sacrifice as a trailing spouse. Reflecting on our experience, I have great empathy for colleagues who meet the tandem, hardship and expeditionary demands of the military and our Foreign Service that require long periods of separation from loved ones. Mindful of all of the above, I have earlier today asked the Office of Retirement and the EAP Bureau to act now on the retirement application I submitted for their review some months ago, and to initiate the formal DCM selection process, as I prepare to join Christina on the Big Island and to retire from the Foreign Service with effect from July 1.

Jon Huntsman for the diplomatic post that Mr. Obama called "as important as any in the world." "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."

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon plans to name former U.S. President Bill Clinton as his special envoy to Haiti, U.N. officials said on Monday, in a move that could attract investment in the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation and help stabilize the country. "The announcement is expected to come soon," one U.N. official told Reuters on condition of anonymity. The official said a formal announcement could come as early as Tuesday. Clinton, who has galvanized efforts to help the impoverished Caribbean nation recover from the devastating impact of four hurricanes last year, accompanied Ban on a trip to Haiti earlier this year. Several other diplomats confirmed the appointment of the former president, who is trying to help Haiti through his Clinton Global Initiative foundation Andrea Garet, Watch Officer Department of State Operations Center 202-647-1512 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761357 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761360 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Monday, May 18, 2009 9:05 PM H Gore number for tonite Al Gore 4 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761360 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761362 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Monday, May 18, 2009 9:05 PM Wjc Wjc called during dinner.

Clinton urged graduates of Barnard College, a women's university in New York City, to show their opposition to Pyongyang's detention of the two journalists who are due to go on trial on June 4. "We have two young women journalists right now imprisoned in North Korea and you can get busy on the Internet and let the North Koreans know that we find that absolutely unacceptable," Clinton told the graduation ceremony. Clinton was highlighting the new media tools that women can use to fight injustice around the world. North Korea announced last Thursday that it had set a June 4 trial date for the two journalists — Euna Lee, a KoreanAmerican, and Laura Ling, a Chinese-American — but gave no details of the charges against them. Clinton said afterward that the announcement of a trial date is "a signal that there can be" a resolution of the case soon, even though she said the pair should be released immediately and the charges against them are "baseless." The North has previously said they would go on trial for "hostile acts" and illegally entering the country. Their trial would be held "on the basis of the confirmed crimes committed by them," it has announced. While working on a story about refugees fleeing the hardline communist North, the pair were detained March 17 along the narrow Tumen River which marks the border with China.

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. Cherie Blair This message has been scanned by MailController .

LAWMAKER EXPECTS CLINTON TO SOON FIX GAY INEQUITIES AT STATE DEPT. On Monday I posted that Rep. Howard Berman had introduced the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011 (H.R. 2410) late last week, which covers a broad range of foreign policy and diplomacy issues, one of which is to "end the long-standing practice of excluding the committed partners of Foreign Service officers from the benefits routinely provided to the spouses and children of officers serving abroad." q12-oday, news of developments in that area: "Berman, in a hearing on funding for the Foreign Service, said he would drop • 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."

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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758560 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758560 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

In advancing our shared security, we seek to: • Reduce threat of violent extremism • Reduce the spread of weapons of mass destruction In advancing our shared prosperity, we seek to: • Use development to create and sustain strong stable economies by: o Focusing on women as essential for driving economic growth; o Expanding access to food and the means to grow or buy it; and, o Expanding access to quality education in developing countries; • Expand access to stable, affordable and increasingly clean energy sources In advancing our shared humanity, 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.

"Historically, domestic partners of Foreign Service members have not been provided the same training, benefits, allowances, and protections that other family members receive. These inequities are unfair and must end. Providing training, medical care and other benefits to domestic partners promote the cohesiveness, safety and effectiveness of our Posts abroad," says the letter. The letter explains that the department will be "exercising its inherent authority to change its regulations in the Foreign Affairs Manual and Department of State Standardized Regulations" in order to allow domestic partners of foreign service personnel to qualify as family members. "Where appropriate, this extension of benefits and allowances will apply to the children of domestic partners as well." Providing these benefits to all employees, notes the letter, will 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. 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." The letter appears to be the culmination of Secretary Clinton's work with LGBT employee groups at the State Department. A source familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the letter was drafted by senior officials at UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761559 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761559 Date: 06/30/2015 the department and represents the Secretary's thinking on the issue. The letter currently awaits final approval from senior government lawyers. The draft is consistent with statements made this week by California Congressman Howard Berman that Secretary Clinton is committed to equalizing the treatment of gay employees of the State Department and that he anticipated an announcement on the matter soon. Full text of the letter is below: DRAFT INTERNAL RELEASE For Review Today, I am pleased to announce that the Department of State will be extending a number of benefits and allowances to domestic partners of members of the Foreign Service assigned abroad. While a career in the Foreign Service is rewarding, the demands to serve our country both at home and abroad also require great sacrifice by our Foreign Service personnel and their families as well. Family members often must uproot their lives, endure hardship conditions, and put their own careers on hold. Like all families, our Foreign Service families come in different configurations; all are part of the common fabric of our Post communities abroad. Historically, domestic partners of Foreign Service members have not been provided the same training, benefits, allowances, and protections that other family members receive. These inequities are unfair and must end. Providing training, medical care and other benefits to domestic partners promote the cohesiveness, safety and effectiveness of our Posts abroad. 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. 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. The Department will be exercising its inherent authority to change its regulations in the Foreign Affairs Manual and Department of State Standardized Regulations to allow the domestic partners of Department Foreign Service personnel to qualify as family members for a variety of benefits and allowances. Where appropriate, this extension of benefits and allowances will apply to the children of domestic partners as well. To qualify for these benefits and allowances, an employee must file an affidavit identifying his or her domestic partner and certifying to certain eligibility requirements that will be set forth in the FAM. The Department of State intends to provide the following additional benefits and allowances for declared domestic partners of eligible employees serving overseas: Diplomatic passports, Inclusion on employee travel orders to and from posts abroad, Shipment of household effects, Inclusion in family size calculations for the purpose of making housing allocations, Family member preference for employment at posts abroad, Use of medical facilities at posts abroad, Medical evacuation from posts abroad, Emergency travel for the partners to visit gravely ill or injured employees, Inclusion as family members for emergency evacuation from posts abroad, Subsistence payments related to emergency evacuation from posts abroad, Inclusion in calculations of payments of overseas differentials and allowances (e.g., payment for quarters, cost of living, and other allowances), Representation expenses, and Training at the Foreign Service Institute.

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.

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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761571 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761571 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

Maddow made two inaccurate statements in the introduction to the segment: 1) that the DPRK has only allowed one consular visit so far; 2) that indictment was particularly concerning because none of the previous cases had ever gone to court.

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.

Bruce May 20, 2009 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." 6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761710 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761710 Date: 06/30/2015 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 7 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761710 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761714 Date: 06/30/2015 [RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Sunday, May 24, 2009 11:12 PM Fw: (AP) North Korea: Nuclear Test We are getting press confirmation.

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. 10 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761724 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761730 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Abedin, Huma Monday, May 25, 2009 7:05 AM H I'm going to skip Yale today.

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. 14 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761784 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761784 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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.

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. On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 11:33 AM, Mills, Cheryl D wrote: Can you both take a look at this — if this implementing agenda works, we will use language of purpose to surround it. cdm 61 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762755 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762761 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Friday, May 29, 2009 7:33 AM H Holbrooke just called for u 62 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762761 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762772 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Strobe Talbott Friday, May 29, 2009 7:49 AM H2; H if you just tried calling me, call again on ..

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. 74 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762828 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762828 Date: 06/30/2015 In Singapore, defense ministers of South Korea, Japan and the United States will meet to discuss responses to North Korea's further provocations, South Korea's defense ministry said.

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. On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 11:33 AM, Mills, Cheryl D wrote: Can you both take a look at this — if this implementing agenda works, we will use language of purpose to surround it. cdm UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758642 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762766 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL Jiloty, Lauren C Friday, May 29, 2009 7:36 AM H Abedin, Huma Mini Schedule 5/29/09 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: From: Jiloty, Lauren C To: Jiloty, Lauren C Sent: Thu May 28 23:57:13 2009 Subject: Mini Schedule 5/29/09 8:25 am ARRIVE State Department 8:25 am PRESIDENTIAL DAILY BRIEFING 8:30 am Secretary's Office 8:30 am DAILY SMALL STAFF MEETING 8:45 am Secretary's Office 8:45 am DAILY SENIOR STAFF MEETING 9:15 am Secretary's Conference Room 9:30 am PHONE CALL w/INDIAN FOREIGN MINISTER KRISHNA 9:40 am Secretary's Office 9:45 am PHONE CALL w/INDIAN CONGRESS PARTY PRESIDENT 9:55 am GANDHI Secretary's Office 10:40 am DEPART State Department *En route White House 10:45 am ARRIVE White House 11:00 am POTUS ANNOUNCEMENT ON CYBER SECURITY 11:30 am East Room 11:30 am DEPART White House *En route State Department 63 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762766 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762766 Date: 06/30/2015 11:35 am ARRIVE.

He reports that the Mexicans are appreciative for the call and are energized. They are reaching out to others to try to find a helpful solution. Amorim called the Brazilian Ambassador here, who tom spoke to after your call. Amorim was very happy with the call, especially the detailed discussion of possible solutions. He professed a desire to work with you to resolve this issue. Brazil recognizes that it is being tagged as the "blocker on democratic language and wants to get out of the way. That explains Amorim's heavy push to give this issue back to Insulza. Torn told the Brazilian Ambassador that Insulza has a big credibility problem in our Congress, and that we, Brazil, Mexico, and others cannot walk away from the issue. This was being relayed back to Amorim. Among a core group of countries there is a growing realization that lack of consensus could be very damaging for the OAS and its members. Tom thinks your calls have injected new urgency into the search for a solution. He will be sending a classified update on the latest in a few hours.

From: Caroline Adler To: Sullivan, Jacob J Sent: Mon Jun 01 12:30:43 2009 Subject: did you see this?? The 31-Year-Old in Charge of Dismantling G.M. By DAVID E. SANGER WASHINGTON — It is not every 31-year-old who, in a first government job, finds himself dismantling General Motors and rewriting the rules of American capitalism. But that, in short, is the job description for Brian Deese, a not-quite graduate of Yale Law School who had never set foot in an automotive assembly plant until he took on his nearly unseen role in remaking the American automotive industry. Nor, for that matter, had he given much thought to what ailed an industry that had been in decline ever since he was born. A bit laconic and looking every bit the just-out-of-graduate-school student adjusting to life in the West Wing — "he's got this beard that appears and disappears," says Steven Rattner, one of the leaders of President Obama's automotive task force — Mr. Deese was thrown into the auto industry's maelstrom as soon the election-night parties ended. "There was a time between Nov. 4 and mid-February when I was the only full-time member of the auto task force," Mr. Deese, a special assistant to the president for economic policy, acknowledged recently as he hurried between his desk at the White House and the Treasury building next door. "It was a little scary." But now, according to those who joined him in the middle of his crash course about the automakers' downward spiral, he has emerged as one of the most influential voices in what may become President Obama's biggest experiment yet in federal economic intervention. While far more prominent members of the administration are making the big decisions about Detroit, it is Mr. Deese who is often narrowing their options. A month ago, when the administration was divided over whether to support Fiat's bid to take over much of Chrysler, it was Mr. Deese who spoke out strongly against simply letting the company go into liquidation, according to several people who were present for the debate. "Brian grasps both the economics and the politics about as quickly as I've seen anyone do this," said Lawrence H. Summers, the head of the National Economic Council who is not known for being patient whenever he believes an analysis is sub-par — or disagrees with his own. "And there he was in the Roosevelt Room, speaking up vigorously to make the point that the costs we were going to incur giving Fiat a chance were no greater than some of the hidden costs of liquidation." Mr. Deese was not the only one favoring the Fiat deal, but his lengthy memorandum on how liquidation would increase Medicaid costs, unemployment insurance and municipal bankruptcies ended the debate. The administration supported Q1 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761441 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761441 Date: 06/30/2015 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. 97 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761441 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761441 Date: 06/30/2015 "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.

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.

"It's in her interests to keep him in line," warned one senior Obama aide.

"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."

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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 ' Doc No. C05761505 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761505 Date: 06/30/2015 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. The Politico 44 Story Widget Requires Adobe Flash Player. "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." A Rev. Wright Sit-down: After Obama gave his race speech in Philadelphia primary but before his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, would make his now-infamous appearance at the National Press Club, the candidate went to Chicago to meet with Wright. Obama was trying to dissuade Wright from a "comeback tour" and told his former pastor to expect a "media circus" if he reemerged. Wright, Wolfe writes, wanted to tell his side of the story and felt like he was "the aggrieved party." Tough Words For Bill Clinton: His wife is now Obama's secretary of state, but Obama had some tough words for the 120 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761505 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761505 Date: 06/30/2015 actions of former President Bill Clinton during the campaign. "We had to figure out how to deal with a former president who was just lying, engaging in bald-faced lies," Obama explained to Wolfe. When the then-candidate was asked if Clinton got in his head, he replied: "Yes, but I got into his." Later, when considering who to name as his running mate, Obama told aides that if Hillary Clinton would help politically she ought to be considered. "But I'm concerned about Bill Clinton being a loose cannon," Obama said, according to Wolfe. Joe Biden Wants His Damn Calls Returned When Sen. John McCain wouldn't return the phone calls of Sen. Joe Biden, the neversubtle Delawarean sought out his longtime colleague. In New York City with Obama and McCain where the two were both appearing at a public service event on the anniversary of 9/11, Biden was rebuffed by McCain's aides backstage when he asked to see the GOP nominee. So, Wolfe writes, Biden went to McCain's green room door and knocked. "John McCain,' he shouted, according to Wolfe. "It's Joe Biden. The next time I phone you, take the damn call." Rendell Drinks The Obama Kool-Aid — Literally After Obama locked up the nomination, Pennsylvania Gov. and ardent Clinton supporter Ed Rendell got a note from an Obama supporter attached to a can of Kool-Aid telling him to drink up. So the next day at a Philadephla fundraiser for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, the ever-demonstrative governor poured it into a glass of water and proclaimed: "Now I feel that Senator Obama is the most wonderful person ever to have lived in the United States of America. The smartest, most sensitive most decent and honorable man. Now I understand what you guys have been feeling for the last six months." "The Old Man": Plouffe told Wolfe that they never considered going after the 72-year-old McCain on his age, but the author notes that some in Obama's high command enjoyed references to the GOP nominee's age and one staffer had a nickname for the Republican: "the old man." © 2009 Capitol News Company, LLC FD HIDDEN DIV Nora Toiv UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F"22'014-20439 Doc No. C05761505 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761505 Date: 06/30/2015 Office of the Secretary 202-647-8633 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F.:014-20439 Doc No. C05761505 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761508 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL Mills, Cheryl D Tuesday, June 02, 2009 1:41 PM Mills, Cheryl D FW: FINAL Pakistan Texting Campaign TQ 060209 Taken Question - Current Total of Pak IDPs via Texting Campaign .1B-D RB.docx From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Office of the Spokesman June 2, 2009 For Immediate Release 2009/ Question Taken at June 1, 2009 Daily Press Briefing Current results of Texting Campaign for Humanitarian Aid to Pakistan Q.

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.

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.

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."

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.

"(If) they can't afford it, they just don't get it," Obama said during the primary, arguing that a mandate would not work unless insurance costs were lowered first. For the first time, Obama confirmed Wednesday that he plans to stake out a different position as president. In a letter to two leading Democratic senators, Obama said he could support a mandate on individuals to buy coverage, as long as Congress exempted those who could not afford it. This marks a shift from his stance during the campaign, when he tussled repeatedly with Clinton on the issue. She proposed an individual mandate, and he did not. "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," Obama wrote. "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," Obama wrote. Detailing his positions on various health care proposals for the first time as president, Obama also said Americans should be able to choose between public and private insurance plans in a reformed health care system. "I strongly believe that Americans should have the choice of a public health insurance option operating alongside private plans," he wrote. "This will give them a better range of choices, make the health care market more competitive, and keep insurance companies honest." He offered qualified support for a mandate on employers to provide insurance or pay a fee to the government. Employers "have a responsibility to support health insurance for their employees," Obama wrote, but small businesses should be exempt. Obama's positions on these issues were not entirely surprising, but his decision to weigh in before congressional Democratic leaders released a single bill was unexpected. Prior to the letter, Obama and his aides had declined to say specifically where he stood on various issues, including the public plan and individual mandate, saying they wanted Congress to lead the way in writing a bill. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761654 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761654 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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.

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. 15 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761663 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761663 Date: 06/30/2015 Original Message From: H To: 'preinest Sent: Wed Jun 03 18:11:59 2009 Subject: OAS--again Sullivan, Jacob i Well, Philippe looks right again.

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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. V-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761682 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761682 Date: 06/30/2015 "surprising, because he is the next-generational candidate." She noted that Obama could be concerned about alienating older voters in the Midwest who would be turned off if he came out in support of same-sex marriage. The Politico 44 Story Widget Requires Adobe Flash Player. 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. 21 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761682 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761682 Date: 06/30/2015 "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. 22 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761682 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761682 Date: 06/30/2015 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."

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. 74 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761691 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761691 Date: 06/30/2015 No sex took place.

Ms. Nakashema has also been in touch with INL Washington, which tells us that it expects another article to appear soon. 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761762 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761762 Date: 06/30/2015 Drafted: Marissa Martin (x8346) 3 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761762 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761766 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Thursday, June 04, 2009 1:26 PM FW: Kurt Campbell FYI From: Verma, Richard R Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 11:15 AM To: Steinberg, James B; Mills, Cheryl D; Sullivan, Jacob) Subject: Kurt Campbell Has an SFRC hearing date for next Wednesday morning. 1 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761766 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761772 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Thursday, June 04, 2009 2:08 PM FW: Invitation to Copenhagen Key to Climate Investing conference FYI Original Message From: Dick Gephardt [mat( Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 7:47 AM To: Mills, Cheryl D Subject: Re: Invitation to Copenhagen Key to Climate Investing conference Cheryl - Thank you so much for considering this invitation.

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.

Multiple lawmakers and aides confirmed the expected Thursday session to finalize negotiations over the bill (HR 2346), which is mainly to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, will not occur until at least early next week. Democratic leaders were trying to convince as many as 18 of the 51 Democrats who voted against the House version in May to change their votes, but many said they would not do so. Republicans are promising to vote against the conference report en mass if it includes $5 billion worth of funding related to the International Monetary Fund. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Thursday it would. "I believe there are people in the Republican Party who support [the IMF funding]; they just don't want to support it on this bill," Pelosi said Thursday, "So we have to do that with all Democratic votes." She also pushed back against two key pillars of the House Republican leadership's argument against the IMF funding, which is meant to accommodate an increased U.S. credit extension to the organization. Responding to statements of Minority Leader John A. Boehner of Ohio that the IMF money is unrelated to the war spending measure, Pelosi said the IMF help was a "national security initiative" because it helps to alleviate sources of instability, such as poverty. Pelosi also accused House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, R-Va., of fear mongering by putting out a statement warning that IMF assistance could somehow fund terrorism. "I don't know why anyone would say that the money is going to the hands of terrorists," she said. "It simply is not based in fact and is a scare tactic, and most unfortunate." House Democratic aides said the conference on the supplemental bill probably would be early next week. "We're going to come up with a supplemental conference report in the next few days," said Senate Majority leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. 6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761775 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761775 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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 to Ted Kennedy and Max Baucus, Obama offered his principles 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.

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). 24 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761810 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761810 Date: 06/30/2015 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). 25 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761810 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761810 Date: 06/30/2015 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). 26 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761810 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761815 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Friday, June 05, 2009 5:27 PM Importance: High FW: eDepartment Notice for 6/5/2009 See below From: Smith, Daniel B Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 12:54 PM To: Abedin, Huma; Sullivan, Jacob 3; Valmoro, Lona 3 Cc: Mills, Cheryl D Subject: FW: eDepartment Notice for 6/5/2009 Importance: High I received this message in The Secretary's Suggestion Box this morning.

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.

A year later, Hillary wins 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 to Ted Kennedy nd Max Baucus, Obama offered his principles 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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758701 Date: 06/3072015 B6 B6 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758701 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

This is actually a pretty good story. The thrust of the piece is that there is a great deal of concern about growing Iranian influence in Latin America — talk of investments, projects and so forth — but so far very little has actually appeared. In other words, the Iranians are talking a good game but not delivering. It is within this context that Mary Beth picked up on the comment by the Secretary of this large embassy in Manangua that It turns out is not under construction, at least not yet. On the record, I said that the Secretary picked this up from one of her counterparts from the region during a bilateral. If it turns out that is not happening, that's good news. The Iranians see themselves as the big winners in the second Gulf War. They are trying to extend their influence, particularly in their own region, but elsewhere where they see possible openings. But while they are trying to buy friends and influence people around the world, the results are clearly mixed. The story will probably run Sunday.

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.

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 it—one 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 needs—for 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.

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 arena—from 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.

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. 1.4(D) B1 Beijing: I had dinner with "new media figures" 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. in UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761932 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761932 Date: 06/30/2015 The most striking thing to emerge from many conversations with officials and academics in Shanghai and Beijing was how often the G-2 was raised — always in the context of "we don't believe in the G-2, but ..." One official said "we can just take away the 'G' and leave the '2.' I was at pains to emphasize that the U.S. has no interest in a G-2, Seoul: a conversation with faculty and the dean of the school of international studies at Ewa University revealed a perception that "China does not object to a nuclear-armed DPRK because that would prevent reunification permanently, as Japan and China itself would never agree to a nuclear reunited Korea." Talks with my Japanese and Korean yielded dgreement 1.4(B) The Japanese raised and the Koreans welcomed the prospect of China-U.S.-Korea talks to match the new 1.4(D) China-U.S.-Japan talks. Both the Koreans and the Japanese raised the idea of an "Asian G-8" — U.S., China, Japan, Russia, gi Korea, Australia, India, and one other .." I raised the idea of convening the Asian members of the G-20 plus us, which would include all those countries plus Indonesia. Rome: I met with my G-8 counterparts over dinner and then w/ G-8 policy planners plus representatives from South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, and Egypt. The G-8 discussion yielded strong agreement that responsibility for outcomes should be a key determinant of who gets to sit at the table, although the Germans and Italians want to expand the core "convening" group to at least the G-8 plus the Heiligendamm 5. Canada, France, Britain and Japan very much liked my tentatively floated idea that each G-8 member be able to decide as host which other countries to invite as full members, B1 did not even bother to send a Romedepending on the problem chosen as the focus of the agenda. Strikingly, based representative to the talks the next day, underlining my point that some of these countries really are not ready 1.4(D) representative, a truly impressive director general in their for regular responsibility for global issues. The was not pushing for a G-13, as it felt uncomfortable being anointed when so many African DFA, said mbassador to countries were not represented. In the substantive discussion of Af-Pak and central Asia, the Rome emphasized that the Rio Group was taking a political position on Af-Pak as a sign of increasing hemispheric engagement with the outside world.

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.

Pls print. Original Messar From: Burns Strider To: H Sent: Mon Jun 08 11:48:31 2009 Subject: this is going today to 5.4 million Americans... (signed by General John Watkins) 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.

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! Andy Manatos and Mike Manatos THE NATIONAL COORDINATED EFFORT OF HELLENES (CEH) 1100 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037 (202) 393-7790 [fax] (202) 628-0225 E-mail: CoordinatedEffort@IVIanatos.com Remarks With Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu Hillary Rodham Clinton Secretary of State Treaty Room Washington, DC June 5, 2009 SECRETARY CLINTON: Good afternoon. Minister Davutoglu and I just had a very productive, broad-ranging, comprehensive discussion. And it is a great privilege to welcome him here to the State Department within the very first weeks of his having been appointed foreign minister. Of course, I was very honored to have gone to Turkey very early in my term as Secretary of State, and President Obama had a wonderful visit to Turkey. And all of that is to confirm the strength and importance of our partnership and alliance. We have a lot of work to do together. Turkey, the United States, and the entire global community certainly face a great number of challenges, but we also see opportunities. So our message coming out of the meeting today and our prior meetings is that we're going to deepen and strengthen our cooperation on an ongoing basis, because we believe that both Turkey and the United States have unique roles to play.

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. 7$1 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762253 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762262 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Strobe Talbott Tuesday, June 9, 2009 1:12 PM Re: Questions Just arrived in Montreal.

Ellen 0. Tauscher enjoyed an enthusiastic reception from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday, but a senior Republican said she'll be blocked from quick floor consideration. Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said he plans to place a hold on the Tauscher nomination as soon as it is reported out of the committee, as leverage to get information and assurances from the Obama administration on issues including — but not limited to — nuclear reduction talks with Russia and the deployment of ballistic missile defense. "All I'm going to ask for is for the administration to abide by commitments that it has made, which one would think it could easily do," said Kyl. He declined to reveal the specifics of the assurances he is seeking. As the White House's top arms control adviser, Tauscher would be charged with pushing for ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and a follow-on to the expiring Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia. Tauscher, chairwoman of the House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee, would have to contend with considerable push-back from Senate Republicans to implement either treaty. Many treaty opponents argue the test-ban could undermine the U.S. capacity to deter other nations from using nuclear weapons. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762567 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762567 Date: 06/30/2015 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. Josh Rogin contributed to this story.

We should also think about China in the context of food security. There are one million Chinese farmers currently working in Africa! That's remarkable if you think about it. China has also bought nearly 3 million hectares of land in Africa and could become one of the largest sources of commercial farming on the continent.

Sid Your request is being processed... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-clemons/can-national-security-adv b 214672.html Steve Clemons Director of the American Strategy Program at the New America Foundation Posted: June 12, 2009 07:12 AM Can National Security Adviser James Jones Survive a Second Round of Attacks and "Longer Knives"? I am here in London where I'm participating in an interesting forum sponsored by the Princeton Project on National Security and the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Transatlantic Program, I've received not just one email -- but three -- from prominent insider journalists and policy hands that Jim Jones' tenure as National Security Adviser is highly fragile. One of these emails reports starkly: Knives getting longer That's all my contact said. But other emails have intimated to me a serious tone-deafness by Jones about his role and responsibilities, his relationship with the President, and his relationship with younger, dedicated, hardworking and late-working staff. Jones recently said that National Security Council staff members that stayed longer than 7:30 pm must be disorganized in their work. I speak to various NSC officials -- often at 10:00 or 11:00 pm at night. They are hardworking, racing as fast as they can to manage the many, many, many major initiatives that Barack Obama has decided to simultaneously pursue. James Jones is considered by his admirers to be a genius when thinking about management structures and decision-making processes. On the other hand, his critics see him as a plodding, slow-moving, out of touch retired general who was better prepared to think about the last era rather than the one we are moving into. His °critics think that he's just too unable to animate nimble, high flex policy decision making products for a White House on a manic dash to get a lot of top tier issues dealt with. Friends at the National Security Council respect a great deal the way in which NSC Deputy Tom Donilon is managing his brief Many see him picking up the load that Jones seems unable or unwilling to carry. Donilon is deeply engaged in the broad Middle East and Iran portfolio, the non-proliferation/WMD/arms control portfolio, the China economic and security portfolio, and he has -- according to reports -- supported and helped cultivate relationship building between State, DoD, the NSC, and other parts of the national security bureaucracy. Some tell me that James Jones decided to try and remove himself from the "whack-a-mole" crisis reaction style of decision-making that could rob the Obama administration of the chance to define a new course in national UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762707 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762707 Date: 06/30/2015 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. -- Steve Clemons directs the foreign policy programs at the New America Foundation and publishes the popular political blog, The Washington Note Shop Dell's full line of Laptops now starting at $349!

Get Shaun Woodward's memo? Miliband interview below. Sid http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/12/david-miliband-gordon-brown-labour-leadership/print The Guardian David Miliband: Labour is facing the fight of its life Foreign secretary thought about quitting the government in last week's turmoil David Miliband expressed his frustration at a lack of vision from the Labour leadership. Photograph: Martin Godwin Voters still don't know what Labour and Gordon Brown stand for, David Miliband admits today, as he reveals how close he came to quitting the government during last week's turmoil at Westminster. Speaking to the Guardian at the end of 10 extraordinary days, the foreign secretary says the party's high command was given an "electric shock" by the disastrous European election results, and he urges fellow ministers to get out and prepare for "the fight of our life". But Miliband also concedes that he considered following his close friend and ally James Purnell, who resigned from the government last week and called for the prime minister to stand down. Miliband said: "I'd made my decision on Thursday. Sometimes you can make your decisions with great planning and calculation and sometimes you have to make them rather more quickly. James made his decision in good faith, I made my decision in good faith ... we all have tolive with our decisions." The Labour party has a settled view of who should be leader, he said. "This divides people who are close and people feel passionately one way and people feel passionately the other way." Describing the task now facing Labour, he says: "It could not be more urgent that there is a maximum of 11 months until the next general election, that we got 15% of the vote nationally [last week], that we came second in Wales and that one in 20 people voted for us. If that does not electric shock us out of our ministerial chairs to think: 'By God, we have got the fight of our life on our hands because whatever the Tories are they certainly don't deserve a landslide' — then nothing will." Miliband has not given a domestic policy interview for nearly nine months since he felt dogged by accusations that he was manoeuvring for the premiership. He refuses to acknowledge that his decision to back Brown last week saved the prime minister, saying "it is impossible to tell". But the foreign secretary feels his loyalty has given him the freedom to speak his mind without his motives being questioned by anyone in Downing Street. Miliband betrays frustration at the absence of a clear Labour vision, saying: "We need the message to go out that we have got the humility to learn about what has gone wrong. "It is not a masochism strategy. It is about saying what we believe in. It is about clarity, priority, adding up to purpose. I know what we stand for, I know what our instincts are, but the voters don't. Actually, I know what Gordon Brown stands for. "We have a responsibility to make sure that, come the election, [voters] know what Labour stands for. We were not being listened to, people felt that they had been forgotten, we neither inspired nor reassured." He calls for cabinet colleagues to show stronger leadership in the battle to restore Labour's fortunes. "We need to make sure the talents and energies of not just the whole of the cabinet, but the whole of the labour movement UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763001 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763001 Date: 06/30/2015 are give n free rein because one in 20 people voted for us. The truth is that we are not automatons. We all have to get out there." 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." Providing what he describes as a route map from the disaster, he said: "Labour first needs a period of competent, effective, stable government; secondly, we need to reset our political compass so ministers are no 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. Shop Dell's full line of Laptops now starting at $349!

One thing that people keep saying is that this is the first time they can recall a secretary getting "technical" on the issue. Often times leaders just tell feel good stories. I think we really took a big step forward by laying out our vision for food security through the seven areas of focus and how we'll work through country-led processes like CAADP. People also really like how Megan made that great connection between Ejeta's life work and our plan going forward. Megan did a great job laying out the lab to farm to market to table. That's exactly what we're going for and what hasn't been articulated well in the past. Let's keep the dialogue at a high level and really challenge people on this issue in the future – not just regurgitate USAID success stories like we did during the Bush years!

Original Message From: H To: Sullivan, Jacob that the ministry even contacted Mousavi's camp and said it would begin preparing the population for this victory. The ministry must have informed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who has had a feud with Mousavi for over 30 years, who found this outcome unsupportable. And, apparently, he and other top leaders had been so confident of an Ahmadinejad win that they had made no contingency plans for what to do if he looked as though he would lose. They therefore sent blanket instructions to the Electoral Commission to falsify the vote counts. This clumsy cover-up then produced the incredible result of an Ahmadinejad landlside in Tabriz and Isfahan and Tehran. The reason for which Rezaie and Karoubi had to be assigned such implausibly low totals was to make sure Ahmadinejad got over 51% of the vote and thus avoid a run-off between him and Mousavi next Friday, which would have given the Mousavi camp a chance to attempt to rally the public and forestall further tampering with the election. This scenario accounts for all known anomalies and is consistent with what we know of the major players. More in my column, just out, in Salon.com: More in my column, just out, in Salon.com: "Ahmadinejad reelected under cloud of fraud," where I argue that the outcome of the presidential elections does not and should not affect Obama's policies toward that country - they are the right policies and should be followed through on regardless. The public demonstrations against the result don't appear to be that big. In the past decade, reformers have always backed down in Iran when challenged by hardliners, in part because no one wants to relive the horrible Great Terror of the 1980s after the revolution, when factionfighting produced blood in the streets. Mousavi is still from that generation. My own guess is that you have to get a leadership born after the revolution, who does not remember it and its sanguinary aftermath, before you get people willing to push back hard against the rightwingers.

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). http://vvww.nytimes.com/2009/06/14/world/middleeast/14memo.html? r=l&hp Memo From Tehran Reverberations as Door Slams on Hope of Change By Bill Keller On the street, the speculation focused more on how the election was manipulated, as many voters insisted it must have been for Mr. Ahmadinejad to score such a preposterous margin of victory. One version (from somebody's brother who supposedly knew someone inside) had it that vote counters simply were ordered to doctor the numbers: "Make that 1,000 for Ahmadinejad a 3,000." Others pointed out that the ballots seemed designed to lead opposition voters astray. Voters were obliged to choose a candidate and fill in a code. Though Mr. Moussavi was candidate No. 4, the code No. 44 signified Mr. Ahmadinejad. One employee of the Interior Ministry, which carried out the vote count, said the government had been preparing its fraud for weeks, purging anyone of doubtful loyalty and importing pliable staff members from around the country.

BY JANEMAYER T he Central Intelligence Agency typically fights distant enemies, but on May 21st its leaders were preoccupied with a local opponent. A few miles from the agency's headquarters, which are in Langley, Virginia, former VicePresident Dick Cheney delivered an extraordinary attack on the Obama Administration's emerging national-security policies. Cheney, speaking at the American Enterprise Institute, accused the new Administration of making "the American people less safe" by banning brutal C.I.A. interrogations of terrorism suspects that had been sanctioned by the Bush Administration. Ruling out such interrogations "is unwise in the extreme," Cheney charged. "It is recklessness cloaked in righteousness." Leon Panetta, the C.I.A.'s new director- • and the man who bears much of the responsibility for keeping the country safe—learned the details of Cheney's speech when he arrived in his office, on the seventh floor of the agency's headquarters. An hour earlier, he had been standing at the side of President Barack Obama, who was giving a speech at the National Archives, in which he argued that America could "fight terrorism while abiding by the rule of law." In January, the Obama Administration banned the "enhanced" techniques that the Bush Administration had approved for the agency, including waterboarding and depriving prisoners of sleep for up to eleven days. Panetta, pouring a cup of coffee, responded to Cheney's speech with surprising candor. "I think he smells some blood in the water on the nationalsecurity 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 issue," he told me. "It's almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read •behind it, it's almost as if he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that's dangerous politics." Panetta was also absorbing criticism from the left. The day before, a group of progressive human-rights advocates had been given an off-the-record briefing with Obama, where they discussed his plans for handling terrorism suspects; some of the advocates were enraged at what they saw as a tacit continuation of the Bush approach. According to a participant, Obama warned the group that such comparisons were "not helpful." Nevertheless, Kenneth Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, who also attended the briefing, went on to denounce the Administration for considering "preventive detention"—incarcerating certain terror suspects indefinitely, without trial. Obama's position, Roth said, "mimics the Bush Administration's abusive approach." Since January, the C.I.A. has become the focus of almost daily struggle, as Obama attempts to restore the rule of law in America's fight against terrorism without sacrificing safety or losing the support of conservative Democratic and independent voters. So far, he has insisted on trying to recalibrate the agency's policies without investigating past mistakes or holding anyone responsible for them. Caught in the middle is Panetta, who is seventy years old and has virtually no experience in the intelligence field. Indeed, his credentials for running the world's foremost spy agency are so unlikely that when John Podesta, the head of Obama's transition team, asked him to take the job he responded, "Are you sure?" Podesta assured Panetta that his outsider status was actually an advantage: "He said, 'You don't carry the scars of the past eight years. Besides, the President wants somebody who will talk straight to him on these issues.' " Although Panetta served briefly in the military, half a century ago, his reputation has been built almost entirely on his 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 mastery of domestic policy. For sixteen years, he was a Democratic congressman from his home town, Monterey, California. In 1989, he became the chairman of the House Budget Committee, making him a natural choice as President Bill Clinton's first budget director. In 1994, he became Clinton's chief of staff. Panetta, the son of Italian immigrants, grew up washing dishes in his parents' restaurant. He is disarmingly forthright, with an easy laugh; he is also a stern disciplinarian and a workaholic. Colleagues say that Panetta, who attends Mass regularly, can be principled to the point of rigidity. It was partly Panetta's rectitude that got him the C.I.A. job. During the Bush years, he decried the country's loss of moral authority; in a blunt essay for Washington Monthly last year, he declared that Americans had been transformed "from champions of human dignity and individual rights into a nation of armchair torturers." He concluded, "We either believe in the dignity of the individual, the rule of law, and the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, or we don't. There is no middle ground." Panetta's impassioned essay unexpectedly became an asset during the Obama transition, after John Brennan— the initial candidate for C.I.A. director—was pressured to withdraw. Critics accused Brennan, who had been a top agency official during the Bush years, of complicity with the torture program. (A friend of Brennan's from his C.I.A. days complained to me, "After a few Cheeto-eating people in the basement working in their underwear who write blogs voiced objections to Brennan, the Obama Administration pulled his name at the first sign of smoke, and then ruled out a whole class of people: anyone who had been at the agency during the past ten years couldn't pass the blogger test.") Panetta had one other strong qualification: he was close to Rahm Emanuel, the new chief of staff. During the Clinton Administration, Emanuel, serving as the White House political director, was suspected by former First Lady 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 Hillary Clinton and others of leaking steve brodner Panetta has no C.I.A. experience, but, an ex-officer says, it's not "a bad thing to have a powerful guy with access to the President." 52 THE NEW YORKER, JUNE 22,2009 information, and was very nearly fired. Emanuel entered what he calls his "wilderness period." When Panetta became chief of staff, however, he reinstated Emanuel as a top aide. "I thought he had a lot of street smarts and good political sense," Panetta told me. In 1994, Panetta discovered, to his dismay, that the President had quietly turned to Dick Morris, a political consultant with a dubious ethical reputation. Harold Ickes, a former White House aide, recalls Panetta walking the halls late one night and saying that he needed a shower after attending a meeting with Morris. Later, a tabloid newspaper reported that Morris had been meeting with a prostitute in a nearby Washington hotel. In 1997, Panetta left the White House, by mutual agreement; he and his wife, Sylvia, founded the nonpartisan Panetta Institute for Public Policy, in Northern California. In January, 1998, it was revealed that Clinton had conducted an extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky—Panetta's former intern. An associate described Panetta then as "very disappointed in Bill Clinton, because of Monica Lewinsky. He saw him as a man with no personal discipline." Eleven years later, Barack Obama called Panetta for advice on who might make a good chief of staff. Panetta recommended Emanuel, telling him that "Rahm knows the Hill, he certainly knows the White House, and he's got the tough side" necessary for the job. In January, Emanuel recommended Panetta for the C.I.A. post. Emanuel said of Panetta, "Leon has great judgment, a great compass.,He's a great manager, and he's trusted by both parties." (Panetta was a Republican until 1971.) Some former C.I.A. officers, such as Tyler Drumheller, who retired in 2005 as the head of clandestine operations in Europe, welcome the choice. "It's not such a bad thing to have a powerful guy with access 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 to the President," he told me. Panetta, he predicted, "will restore the integrity of the intelligence process. After what we've been through on Iraq and torture allegations, that's a big deal." Michael Waldman, who was President Clinton's chief speechwriter, and who now runs the Brennan Center for Justice, at the New York University School of Law, describes Panetta as "one of the more honorable, decent, and principled people in government," but considers it "amazing that he was such an outspoken critic" of the agency. Given Panetta's reputation for integrity, and the C.I.A.'s central role in the interrogations scandal, Waldman wondered, "can he ride the tiger without being eaten?" He added, "An agency like that can turn on a director. That's the challenge: he's got to both lead it and reform it." T he record of outsiders taking over the C.I.A. is mixed. John McCone, a California shipping magnate who ran the agency in the Kennedy and Johnson years, is often cited as being among the most successful directors; having been trained as a mechanical engineer, he was skilled at assessing threats posed by both conventional and nuclear weapons. But other outsiders have been met with intense hostility. James Schlesinger was named C.I.A. director by President Richard Nixon after heading the Atomic Energy Commission. Given instructions to "get rid of the clowns," Schlesinger dismissed or forced into retirement more than five hundred analysts and a thousand clandestine officers. He faced death threats, and his tenure lasted six months. In 1995, President Clinton appointed John Deutch, who had previously served at the Pentagon. Deutch tried to improve the oversight of clandestine operatives after evidence surfaced that an agent in Guatemala had covered up two murders. Deutch was reviled by many operatives, and he left the agency after eighteen months. Eventually, he was accused of mishandling classified documents and stripped of his security clearance. "You pick on the C.I.A. at your 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 own peril," Michael Waldman says. Nevertheless, many critics believe that the agency must reckon with the legacy of the Bush era. In the past few years, irrefutable evidence has emerged that after 9/11 the agency lost its moral bearings. A confidential Red Cross report has come into public view, along with formerly classified government documents, leaving no doubt that the agency subjected scores of terror suspects to prolonged physical and psychological cruelty. Officers shackled prisoners for weeks in contorted positions; chained them to the ceiling wearing only diapers; exploited their phobias; propelled them head first into walls. At least three prisoners died. Torture is a felony, and is sometimes treated as a capital crime. The Convention Against Torture, which America ratified in 1994, requires a government to prosecute all acts of torture; failure to do so is considered a breach of international law. The issue of torture assumed symbolic im- "For God's sake, have some populist rage." • • THE NEW YORKER, JUNE 22, 2009 53 portance during the 2008 campaign, and when Obama took office many of his liberal supporters expected him to hold the ' perpetrators of abuse accountable. Democratic leaders in Congress pushed particularly hard for action. Senator Carl Levin, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, had investigated the military's role in detention and interrogation abuse but was kept by his committee's limited jurisdiction from investigating the C.I.A.; he urged the new Attorney General, Eric Holder, to open an inquiry, saying, "There needs to be an accounting of torture in this country." Senator Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, argued for the creation of an independent "truth commission," which could grant immunity to witnesses—thus helping to insulate the Obama Administration from charges that it was exploiting the torture issue for partisan gain. The C.I.A.'s role in providing misleading intelligence about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq 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 has also provoked calls for reform. Senator Dianne Feinstein, the new chairman of the Intelligence Committee, told me, "There's no vote that I regret more than the vote to authorize war with Iraq"; her vote was based on intelligence that she describes as "flat wrong." Feinstein went on, "I am absolutely determined to reform the process of gathering and analyzing intelligence." As soon as Obama took office, he overturned most aspects of the Bush Administration's interrogation policy. He issued an executive order banning inhumane treatment of prisoners by any government officials, and one closing the C.I.A.'s network of secret "black site" prisons, which stretched from Poland to Thailand. He also vowed to close the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where fourteen former C.I.A. prisoners are being held. But Obama's message has been uncharacteristically muddled on the question of accountability. He has said that Attorney General Holder should be the one to decide whether to take criminal action; he has also said that he would support further congressional investigation, as long as it was done in a bipartisan fashion. At the same time, he has signalled that he has no appetite for "looking backwards," and in late April, during a private White House meeting with congressional leaders, he rejected the idea of an outside truth commission. In the meantime, Republicans have seized the political initiative, expressing grave concern about the plans to close Guantanamo and transfer the prisoners to U.S. facilities. Tim Weiner, the author of "Legacy of Ashes," a recent history of the C.I.A., says that Panetta is facing a series of "unappetizing choices." Weiner believes that the country is in a period similar to the Watergate era, when a series of disturbing state secrets—such as the existence of the Phoenix Program, a C.I.A.supported initiative, in which the South Vietnamese were alleged to have tortured civilians—spilled out. Speaking of Panetta, he said, "It can't be comfortable for a man who said, 'This is un-American,' to be put in the position of saying, 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 'Well, we hold no one accountable.'" Panetta, whose conversation with me at C.I.A. headquarters was his first lengthy interview on the topic of abusive interrogations, said that when he took over the agency he "wanted to be damn sure" that there was nobody on the payroll who should be prosecuted for torture or related crimes. He asked John Helgerson, then the C.I.A.'s inspector general, to conduct a review. In theory, the inspector general is politically independent, and therefore able to render unbiased judgments. In 2004, Helgerson had written a classified report on the C.I.A.'s secret detention-and-interrogation program, in which he questioned both the legality and the effectiveness of the agency's brutally coercive techniques. Panetta cited Helgerson's "credibility" as a reason to trust his assessment. According to Panetta, Helgerson, who is not a lawyer, assured him that no officer still at the agency had engaged in actions that went beyond the legal boundaries as they were understood during the Bush years. Helgerson, who retired from the agency in May, says he told Panetta only that he was not aware of any cases that merited prosecution, though "continuing work was being done." Panetta told me, "I'm going to give people the benefit of the doubt. . . . If they do the job that they're paid to do, I can't ask for a hell of a lot more." His words echo those of President Obama, who on April 16th promised immunity from prosecution to any C.I.A. officer who relied on the advice of legal counsel during the Bush years. Jeffrey H. Smith, a former general counsel to the C.I.A., points out that this is a low standard, given that "what the Justice Department approved was outrageous." For example, for more than a century the U.S. had prosecuted waterboarding as a serious crime, and a ten-year prison sentence was issued as recently as 1983. Indeed, the memos authorizing interrogators to torment prisoners clashed so glaringly with international and U.S. law that some of them were later withdrawn by lawyers in Bush's own Justice Department. Smith, who has advised Obama informally 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 on how to handle the C.I.A.'s legacy of abuse, thinks that prosecutions are not politically viable at this point, and would in any case be unfair to officers who thought they were adhering to the law. And many Republicans, from Newt Gingrich to John McCain, have argued that pressing charges against government officials would threaten morale and inhibit risk-talcing at a time when the agency faces wars on two fronts and a continuing threat from Al Qaeda. The Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe disagrees. "It's hard not to do something to those who performed the act," he says. "It's not beyond the pale to imagine that even people armed with legal opinions might be held legally responsible for violating the criminal law in the area of torture." Panetta told me, "Frankly, I didn't support these methods that were used, or the legal justification for why they did it. . . . I also believed if I were to take this job it was about dealing with the threats that are out there, and trying to really bring the C.I.A. into a new chapter." He said that once he felt confident that there was no criminal liability inside the agency he "didn't want to spend a lot of time dealing with the past and what mistakes were made." It turns out, however, that Panetta initially supported the creation of a truth commission. "I'm not big on commissions," Panetta told me. "On the other hand, I could see that it might make some sense, frankly, to appoint a high-level 54 THE NEW YORKER, JUNE 22, 2009 commission, with somebody like Sandra Day O'Connor, Lee Hamilton—people like that." The appeal was that Obama could delegate to others the legal problems stemming from Bush Administration actions, allowing him to focus on his ambitious political agenda. "In the discussion phase"—early in the spring, before Obama decided the issue—"I was for it," Panetta said. "Because every time a question came up, you could basically say, 'The commission, hopefully, is looking at this.' "But by late April Obama had vetoed the idea, fearing that it would look vindictive and, possibly, inflame his predecessor. "It was the President who basically said, 'If I do 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 this, it will look like I'm trying to go after Cheney and Bush,' "Panetta said. "He just didn't think it made sense. And then everybody kind of backed away from it." Ken Gude, an associate director at the Center for American Progress, who specializes in national-security issues, and who has close ties to the White House, believes that Obama's instinct, like Panetta's, was to set up a truth commission of some sort. "I think the political staff walked it back," he says. "They said it would be a distraction." Obama's political advisers dread any issue that could trigger a culture war and diminish his support among independent voters. They also see little advantage in picking a fight with the C.I.A. But the decision to discourage an accountability process, Gude says, has backfired. The Administration has lost control of the story, as revelations about C.I.A. misdeeds have continued to emerge through lawsuits and the press. "It's now become the distraction they wanted to avoid," Gude says. "The White House briefings have been dominated by questions about releasing documents and photos." It's understandable, he says, that Obama wouldn't want to spend his energy on Bush's mistakes. But, he warns, "they can't leave the impression that they're trying to cover it up." Panetta may not have scars from the past eight years, but he is surrounded by people who do. Some of his closest advisers have connections to the torture program. Panetta brought only one person with him to the agency: Jeremy Bash, the well-regarded former chief counsel to the House Intelligence Committee, who now serves as his chief of staff. Phil Trounstine, a California-based political consultant and analyst who has known Panetta for years, says of him, "Here's a guy who has been very critical of the Bush world view, who has to enforce a new set of guidelines and policies by leading the same agency and the same people as in the past." Several of Panetta's top deputies worked closely with George Tenet, the agency's director from 1997 until 2004. Under Tenet, the C.I.A. took the lead role in 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 fighting terrorism, and its officers became the jailers, and sometimes the tormentors, of many U.S.-held detainees. Tenet, who is now a managing director of the investment bank Allen & Company, has all but disappeared from public sight in Washington. He recently cancelled an appearance scheduled at the Panetta Institute this month. ("George has not wanted to do stuff in front of a camera," Panetta noted.) But in his 2007 memoir, "At the Center of the Storm," Tenet defended the use of "enhanced" interrogation techniques on terror suspects, claiming that the information they elicited had prevented other attacks and saved American lives. (He also assured President Bush that the case for going to war in Iraq was "a slam dunk.") But a former senior agency official who worked with many of Tenet's top team members says, "These people carried out this policy. . . but they'll muddy the waters by explaining why what they did was O.K. They will say that 'Bush was bad' but they weren't. A lot of it is just to protect their own positions. It's amazing to me that all these Tenet people survived!" Behind Panetta's desk—next to a framed, tattered American flag that was rescued from the ruins of the World Trade Center—is a door leading to the office of Stephen Kappes, whom Panetta has kept on as the agency's second-incommand. Kappes, a former U.S. marine, is widely admired within the agency, in particular for his role in persuading the Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi to abandon his nuclear-weapons program, in 2003. "Kappes is the case officer's case officer," John Radsan, who was a lawyer at the C.LA. during President Bush's first term, says. Intense, serious, and fluent in Russian and Farsi, Kappes has served as a station chief in Moscow, New Delhi, and Frankfurt, and has supervised many clandestine operations. In April, President Obama paid a visit to C.I.A. headquarters and singled out Kappes as the wise "graybeard" in the building. Senator Feinstein insisted to Obama Administration officials privately that Kappes continue as deputy director; it was a condition of her support for Panetta, whose lack of experience 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 in covert operations she questioned. During the first term of the Bush Administration, Kappes was a top official in the Directorate of Operations. This group oversaw the agency's Counterterrorist Center, which, in turn, managed the secret detention-and-interrogation program. Few doubt that he was aware that the C.I.A. was engaging in brutality. One former officer recalls that Kappes voiced qualms, warning that the program amounted to "torture." According to the former officer, once Kappes was overruled he went along; Kappes was "the brains" of the directorate, the former officer says. (Kappes, through a spokesman, denied having had a direct role in the interrogation program, or having called its tactics torture.) Another former C.I.A. operative says, "It would be hard to say someone so involved could be robustly objective" in advising Panetta. Panetta says that most of the individuals who managed the secret interrogation program have since left the agency. One of the holdovers is Jonathan Fredman, who was formerly the chief counsel to the division that ran the interrogation program; he is now on temporary assignment with the director of National Intelligence. According to notes from a 2002 meeting, which were disclosed at a recent Senate hearing, Fredman advised that torture "is basically subject to perception. If the detainee dies, you're doing it wrong." The notes, whose accuracy Fredman has disputed, describe him saying that videotapes of interrogations would look "ugly." Fredman's former boss is John A. Rizzo, the C.I.A.'s acting general counsel, who was the recipient of many of the Justice Department's torture memos. (Rizzo is scheduled to leave the agency once a replacement has been confirmed.) And the current head of the Counterterrorist Center— the officer, who is undercover, cannot be identified—ran the interrogation program for part of Bush's second term. Several current station chiefs and division chiefs were also deeply involved in brutal interrogations, as were pilots, logistical experts, medical personnel, and others. Meanwhile, John Brennan—the man 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 who was considered too politically toxic for the top C.I.A. job—has become a senior official on the National Security Council. Brennan, who, as one former C.I.A. officer puts it, was once "joined to George Tenet at the hip"—he served as Tenet's chief of staff—now advises Obama on terrorism and other national-security issues. He has • reportedly lobbied hard to maintain secrecy on past abuses. According to Newsweek, Brennan recently persuaded Panetta to join him in protesting Obama's plan to release four shocking Justice Department memos about the interrogation program. The documents, written by lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel, showed that the C.I.A. had waterboarded one suspect at least a hundred and eighty-three times and subjected many others to harrowing mistreatment. Opponents have argued that exposing such details could spark an antiAmerican backlash. Panetta also argued forcefully in favor of indemnifying any C.I.A. officers whose actions, as described in the memos, might have opened them up to criminal charges. Several well-respected former C.I.A. officials—including Fred Hitz, a former inspector general, and Paul Pillar, a former Middle East analyst—told me that • they saw no harm in releasing the documents. Dennis C. Blair, the director of National Intelligence, who oversees the U.S. intelligence establishment, including the C.I.A., also supported the release of the documents, after his staff concluded that the disclosures would likely do no damage. After intense consideration, and a latenight meeting in Rahm Emanuel's office, Obama rejected Panetta's arguments for secrecy, deciding that it was in the public interest to release the memos. But Obama also endorsed the notion of giving blanket amnesty to any C.I.A. officers performing authorized work. Panetta's resistance to public disclosure seemed out of character to some longtime colleagues. "I was surprised by Leon's position on the O.L.C. memos," Phil Trounstine told me. "It's tough to maintain your principles when you're head of the C.I.A., because you need to be seen as 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 someone that the people inside the agency want to follow." Panetta had become an advocate for secrecy so quickly, a White House official joked, that "it's like 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers.'" Panetta's advisers may have had a personal stake in opposing transparency. Another former C.I.A. official, who knows Brennan well, noted that, if the Bush torture program were to be further investigated, "potentially, both Brennan and Kappes could have a lot to lose." Brennan's supporters have argued that he had no operational control over the interrogation program, and point out that his tenure as Tenet's chief of staff ended in March, 2001, before the Al Qaeda attacks. But he was subsequently named deputy executive director, and served in that position until March, 2003—the period when the most brutal detainee treatment occurred. In addition, Brennan often briefed President Bush about daily developments in the war on terror. Brennan has described himself as an internal critic of waterboarding—a position that friends, such as Emile Nakhleh, a former senior officer, confirm. Yet, in an interview with me two years ago, Brennan defended the use of "enhanced" interrogation techniques and extraordinary renditions, in which the C.I.A. abducted terror suspects around the globe and transported them to other countries to be jailed and interrogated; many of those countries had execrable human-rights records. He also questioned some people's definition of "torture." "I think it's torture when I have to ride in the car with my kids and they have loud rap music on," he said. Asked if "enhanced" interrogation techniques were necessary to keep America safe, he replied, "Would the U.S. be handicapped if the C.I.A. was not, in fact, able to carry out these types of detention and debriefing activities? I would say yes." Anthony Lake, who was the nationalsecurity adviser under Clinton, said of Brennan, "I've known John a long time, and he's a really good guy. I would argue, you can't throw out the whole agency." Lake, in fact, recommended Brennan to the Obama campaign when 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 it was looking for intelligence advisers— after consulting with their mutual friend George Tenet. America's intelligence community is an incestuous one, making it difficult for a President to break with old ways of thinking. Indeed, a well-informed analyst with close ties to the White House says that the C.I.A. has been lobbying hard to get Obama to support some form of preventive detention for terror suspects. An agency spokesman denies this. But the analyst 56 THE NEW YORKER, JUNE 22, 2009 says, "They definitely want the flexibility to hold people in some form of detention. They have been saying, 'We need deep authorities.' They've been presenting the President with nightmare scenarios." Panetta, for his part, has been persuaded that renditions are a tool worth keeping. The rendition program began, in a more carefully monitored form, during the Clinton Administration, but in the Bush years it was transformed into what John Radsan, the former C.I.A. lawyer, called "an abomination." As many as seven detainees were misidentified and abducted by mistake; many other suspects have alleged that they were hideously tortured by foreign governments. Panetta told me, "The worst part of rendition was rendition to a black site. That will not be the case anymore. If we render someone, it will be to a country with jurisdiction over that individual." During the Bush years, however, some of the most horrific allegations of abuse were made by detainees rendered not to black sites but to Egypt, Syria, and Morocco. The Obama Administration, Panetta says, will take precautions to insure that rendered suspects are treated humanely, as the law requires. "I've talked to the State Department, and our people have to make very sure that people won't be mistreated," Panetta said. "Some places, obviously, it's more difficult to do. But we're going to have to press to make sure it doesn't happen, because it would fly in the face of everything the President has said we stand for." The Bush Administration professed to be taking similar precautions. The C.I.A. has apparently done nothing to penalize the officer who oversaw one 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 of the most notorious renditions—that of a German car salesman named Khaled elMasri. He was abducted while on a holiday in Macedonia, and flown by the agency to Afghanistan, where he was detained in a dungeon for five months without charges, before being released. From the start, the rendition team suspected that his case was one of mistaken identity. But the C.I.A. officer in charge at Langley—the agency asked that the officer's name be withheld— insisted that Masri be further interrogated. "She just looked in her crystal ball and it said that he was bad," a colleague recalls. Masri says that he was chained in a freezing cell with no bed, and given water so putrid that he could smell it across the room. He was threatened and stripped, and could hear other detainees crying all around him. After several weeks, the C.I.A. officer in charge learned that Masri's German passport was not a forgery, as was originally suspected, and that he was not the terror suspect the agency thought he was. (The names were similar.) Even so, the officer in charge refused to release him. Eventually, Masri went on a hunger strike, losing sixty pounds. Skeptics in the agency went directly over the officer's head to Tenet, who realized that his agency had been brutalizing an innocent man. Masri was released after a hundred and forty-nine days. But the officer in charge was not disciplined; in fact, a former colleague says, "she's been promoted—twice." Masri, meanwhile, has been unable to sue the U.S. government for either an apology or damages, because the courts consider the very existence of rendition a state secret— a position that the Obama Justice Department has so far supported. No criminal charges have ever been brought against any C.I.A. officer involved in the torture program, despite the fact that at least three prisoners interrogated by agency personnel died as the result of mistreatment. In the first case, an unnamed detainee under C.I.A. supervision in Afghanistan froze to death after having been chained, naked, to a concrete floor overnight. The body was buried in an unmarked grave. In the second case, an Iraqi prisoner named Manadel al-Jamadi 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 died on November 4, 2003, while being Bere avement Behind his house, my father's dogs sleep in kennels, beautiful,. he built just for them.

Brothers-in-paw. THE NEW YORKER, JUNE 22, 2009 57 interrogated by the C.I.A. at Abu Ghraib prison, outside Baghdad. A forensic examiner found that he had essentially been crucified; he died from asphyxiation after having been hung by his arms, in a hood, and suffering broken ribs. Military pathologists classified the case a homicide. A third prisoner died after an interrogation in which a C.I.A. officer participated, though the officer evidently did not cause the death. (Several other detainees have disappeared and remain unaccounted for, according to Human Rights Watch.) During his tenure at the C.I.A., John Helgerson, the former inspector general, forwarded the crucifixion case, along with an estimated half-dozen other incidents, to the Justice Department, for possible prosecution. But the case files have languished. An official familiar with the cases told me that the agency has deflected inquiries by the Senate Intelligence Committee seeking 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 information about any internal disciplinary action. (Helgerson told me, "Some individuals have been disciplined. And others no longer work at the agency.") Panetta acknowledges that there are some people still at the C.I.A. who may be tainted by the torture program. Nevertheless, he says, "I really respect the people who say we shouldn't have gotten involved in the interrogation business but we had to do our jobs. I don't think I should penalize people who were doing their duty. If you have a President who exercises bad judgment, the C.I.A. pays the price." O n June 1st, former Vice-President Cheney asserted in a speech that the C.I.A., rather than the White House, first proposed hurting prisoners during interrogations. "It was their initiative," he said. "They had a couple of cases where they thought enhanced interrogation techniques would provide information." Panetta has a different view. "There is no question in my mind," he said. "The interrogation thing, to some extent, was cast upon us, because the military walked away from it, and the F.B.I. walked away from it, and so everybody came down on the C.I.A.," he said. This is technically true, although the F.B.I. "walked away" from interrogations of terrorism suspects after its director, Bob Mueller, heard complaints from an agent, Ali Soufan, that the C.I.A.'s interrogation methods amounted to "borderline torture." John Helgerson told me that he holds the the Pentagon, and the White House equally responsible: "They went arm in arm into it." Without a thorough public investigation, it's difficult to assess the truth behind such contradictory accusations. "Everyone says, 'It's over, it's known,' "Nathaniel Raymond, who works with the advocacy group Physicians for Human Rights, told me. "But what is known? We still don't know how many detainees were in the black sites, or who they were. We don't fully know the White House's role, or the C.I.A.'s role. We need a full accounting, especially as it relates to health professionals." The recently released Justice Department memos, he noted, contain numerous 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 references to C.I.A. medical personnel participating in coercive interrogation sessions. "They were the designers, the legitimizers, and the implementers," Raymond said. "This is arguably the single greatest medical-ethics scandal in American history. We need answers." Some conservatives are also calling for greater openness. Will Taft, the general counsel to the State Department in the Bush Administration, told me, "There are some twenty or thirty people whom the My eyes each day thaw. One day the water cuts off. Then back on. They are outside dogs— which is to say, healthy & victorious, purposeful & one giant muscle like the heart. Dad taught them not to bark, to point out their prey. To stay. Were they there that day? They call me like witnesses & will not say. I ask for their care & their carelessness— wish of them forgiveness. I must give them away. I must find for them homes, sleep restless in his. All night I expect they pace as I do, each dog like an eye roaming with the dead beneath an unlocked lid. —Kevin Young 58 THE NEW YORKER, JUNE 22, 2009 C.I.A. said it formerly held but no longer does. Those names have never been released. The government should identify all the people in the program and account for them." The Senate Intelligence Committee recently embarked on its own, closed-door investigation of the torture program; Panetta told me that he has been assured that the committee members' work "would be about lessons learned, as opposed to going after people." So the C.I.A. is "cooperating with them, giving them whatever information they need to try to conduct their review." He says that the committee has 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 already identified some ten million relevant documents. "It's going to take a while," he said. The Senate investigation will, among other things, probe the question of torture's efficacy. Dick Cheney has repeatedly claimed that "enhanced" interrogations yield results. Opponents say that torture is counterproductive. Panetta is more agnostic. He told me, "The bottom line would be this: Yes, important information was gathered from these detainees. It provided information that in fact was acted upon. Was this the only way to obtain this information? I think that will always be an open question." But he is certain that "we did pay a price for using those methods." A number of recently released documents call into question the notion that the C.I.A. played a passive role in relation to torture policy. A 2008 report by the Senate Armed Services Committee indicates that the agency hired contract psychologists who went on to design and implement specific forms of abuse—such as locking a detainee, doubled up, in a tiny, airless cage—months before August, 2002, when the Justice Department granted legal authorization with its infamous "torture memo." More troublingly, footnotes in the Office of Legal Counsel memos suggest that some C.I.A. interrogators may have egregiously exceeded the legal boundaries set down by the Justice Department and the White House—which seemingly puts them outside the legal safety zone demarcated by Obama and Panetta. In 2002, the Bush Administration authorized interrogators to re-create the ostensibly safe waterboarding techniques used in military training. But, instead of limiting the sessions to a maximum of two twenty-second bouts of controlled drowning, as prescribed in military training, the C.I.A. interrogators forced one detainee to undergo at least a hundred and eighty-three sessions, and another at least eighty-three. And, instead of using a very small amount of water, as the Justice Department stipulated, the C.I.A. interrogators subjected the detainees to "large volumes" of water. The memos quote Inspector General Helgersott's finding, in his secret 2004 report on coercive 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 techniques, that the interrogators amplified the pain deliberately, in order to make the sensation of drowning "more poignant and convincing." Helgerson also found that the psychologists and interrogators who designed the agency's protocols— and who claimed that their judgments were based on knowledge of military standards—had "probably misrepresented" their "expertise." In addition, the C.I.A.'s Office of Medical Services found that there was "no reason to believe that applying the waterboard with the frequency and intensity with which it was used by the psychologist/interrogators . . was either efficacious or medically safe." In April, Panetta fired all the C.I.A.'s contract interrogators, including the former military psychologists who appear to have designed the most brutal interrogation techniques: James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen. The two men, who ran a consulting company, Mitchell, Jessen & Associates, had recommended that interrogators apply to detainees theories of "learned helplessness" that were based on experiments with abused dogs. The firm's principals reportedly billed the agency a thousand dollars a day for their services. "We saved some money in the deal, too!" Panetta said. (Remarkably, a month after Obama took office the C.I.A. had signed a fresh contract with the firm.) According to ProPublica, the investigative reporting group, Mitchell and Jessen's firm, which in 2007 had a hundred and twenty people on its staff, recently closed its offices, in Spokane, Washington. One employee was Deuce Martinez, a former C.I.A. interrogator in the blacksite program; Joseph Matarazzo, a former president of the American Psychological Association, was on the company's board. (According to Kirk Hubbard, the former head of the C.I.A.'s research and analysis "I've put everything in your name in case my creditors come after me." • • THE NEW YORKER, JUNE 22, 2009 59 division, Matarazzo served on an agency professional-standards board during the time the interrogation program was set up, but was not consulted about the interrogations.) 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 Lawsuits against abusive contractors remain a possibility, and any one of them could expose a line of authorizations leading directly up the chain of command at the C.I.A., and into the Bush White House. George Brent Mickum IV, a lawyer representing Abu Zubaydah, a C.I.A. prisoner who was repeatedly waterboarded, said, "I'd like to sue Mitchell and Jessen in a minute." (Mitchell was an adviser on Zubaydah's interrogation.) After Zubaydah was waterboarded, his lawyers say, his mental state deteriorated, and he has since been prescribed the antipsychotic drug Haldol. Few activists expect lawsuits against the C.I.A. or its contractors to succeed. But John Sifton, an attorney who specializes in human-rights law, and who is part of Zubaydah's legal team, notes that there are other ways for the detainees' grievances to become public. "The act of prosecuting the high-value detainees will be the accountability process," Sifton said. "It's impossible to try these detainees without allowing them to air all the information about their torture." O ther legal actions threaten to expose yet more secrets of the C.I.A.'s torture program. A prosecutor appointed by the Justice Department, John Durham, has convened a grand jury in Washington to weigh potential criminal charges against C.I.A. officers who were involved in the destruction of ninety-two videotapes documenting the interrogations of Abu Zubaydah and other detainees. Mickum told me that he has met several times with Durham, and believes that the scope of his inquiry may have expanded to include a review of whether the C.I.A. began using brutal methods on Zubaydah before it received written authorization from the Justice Department. (This would provide an extra motive for destroying the videotapes.) Mickum said, "I got the sense he was very serious." (Durham declined to comment.) The A.C.L.U., meanwhile, is suing to get access to classified descriptions of what was on the destroyed videotapes. Last week, Panetta filed an affidavit opposing the disclosure, which he said "could be expected 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 to result in exceptionally gave damage to the national security." Once again, he was protecting Bush-era interrogation secrets. Pressure is also coming from abroad. In Italy, two dozen C.I.A. officers are on trial in absentia for participating in a 2003 rendition. Robert Seldon Lady, the agency's station chief in Milan at the time, can no longer travel to Italy without danger of arrest, nor can the other C.I.A. officers named in the case. Spain has opened a criminal investigation of six Bush Administration officials in connection with torture. And in London a former rendition victim is suing the British authorities. After a British judge ruled that the plaintiff; Binyam Mohammed, should be given access to C.I.A. intelligence documents that the agency shared with British authorities, the Obama Administration surprised liberals by pressuring the British government to stop the disclosures. Several other legal challenges to the agency's interrogation program are working their way through the U.S. court system. A judge in California recently rejected the Justice Department's claims of blanket state secrecy in a case brought by five rendition victims against Jeppesen Dataplan, a subsidiary of Boeing, which provided the flight plans for the C.I.A.'s renditions. In a press conference in April, Obama indicated that he had had second thoughts about the Justice Department's assertion of blanket state secrecy in the case, but on June 12th the Administration reasserted its original claim. Earlier this month, Philip Mudd, Obama's nominee for a top Homeland Security post, withdrew from consideration after it became clear that his Senate confirmation would turn into a fight over his previous role in the C.I.A.'s interrogation program. Rahm Emanuel, speaking of the many challenges posed by the torture scandal, told me, "It's a day-to-day— I won't say struggle—but problem. There are a lot of cases in the queue that require response. Many of them. But I've seen the President in the Situation Room, and I know he wants to move forward." Panetta is already forging ahead on one important reform: he plans to replace the 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 abusive interrogation program with a legally acceptable, non-coercive alternative. A task force led by the Harvard Law School professor Philip Heymann has been advising him on a proposal to create an elite U.S. government interrogation team, staffed by some of the best C.I.A., F.B.I., and military officers in the country, and drawing on the advice of social scientists, linguists, and other scholars. "What I'm pushing for is to establish a facility where we develop a team of interrogators trained in the latest techniques," Panetta said. "That's the one thing I'm worried about, frankly. There just aren't that many people who have the interrogation abilities we're going to need." Heymann describes the effort to create "the best non-coercive interrogation team in the world" as the equivalent of "a NASA-like, man-on-themoon effort" for human-intelligence gathering. He said that members of his task force have travelled to France, England, Japan, Australia, and Israel, in order to compile comparative information on what interrogators do. "We also went to the best people in the U.S.," he added. Panetta has many ambitions for his tenure at the agency. He spoke to me of the need for the C.I.A. to increase its foreignlanguage skills, and to recruit officers of more diverse backgrounds, who can more easily infiltrate hostile parts of the world. But, as Panetta sees it, the C.I.A.'s effort to "disrupt, destroy, and dismantle" Al Qaeda remains its top priority. The agency continues to acquire intelligence suggesting that Al Qaeda is planning attacks on America, he told me. "We're conducting pretty robust operations in Pakistan, and I think we're doing a good job of trying to disrupt Al Qaeda. But, clearly, that is a threat." The greatest danger, he said, is that Al Qaeda will "find other safe havens to go to," in states such as Somalia and Yemen. "Our mission is to make sure they can't find a place to hide." Finding and bringing to justice Al Qaeda's leaders—in particular, Osama bin Laden and Ayman alZawahiri—"remains a focal point," Panetta said. "It's not easy, as you can imagine." Last week, the Times reported on escalating 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 friction over jurisdiction between Panetta and Dennis Blair, the National Intelligence director. "I'm surprised at the number of challenges you have to confront in this job," Panetta confided. "You're a traffic cop, in many ways." When he was the White House chief of staff, Panetta said, he could delegate the big decisions to the President. "Here, though," he said, gazing out over the C.I.A.'s serene grounds, "the decisions come to me. And a lot of them involve life and death." Sometimes, he added, all he can do is "say a lot of Hail Marys." o 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. C05762312 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: sbwhoeop Sunday, June 14, 2009 2:50 PM Gordon Brown called...

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. Advertisement 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. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1093058.html 100 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762336 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762336 Date: 06/30/2015 , 101 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762336 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762349 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Jake Sullivan Tuesday, June 16, 2009 12:22 AM Kurtzer Just wanted to be sure you saw the Kurtzer op-ed, which ran Sunday in the Post.

The Settlements Facts • 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 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.

EDT PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good evening, everybody. Buona sera. I want to welcome Prime Minister Berlusconi here. He has proved to be a great friend of the United States. And he and I got to know each other at the G20 summit. We are now in the process of planning the G8 summit that Italy will be hosting. We emphasized the strong, historic ties between the United States and Italy. Our bilateral relationship has been marked by cooperation across the board. And I am extremely grateful for his friendship. 129 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 Just a couple of things that we specifically discussed. First of all, I thanked the Prime Minister for his support of our policy of closing Guantanamo. This is not just talk. Italy has agreed to accept three specific detainees, and has also been part of the leadership in Europe that today announced a framework in which European nations can accept detainees. And that was something that I was very appreciative of. It will give us an opportunity to create a lasting and durable international legal framework for dealing with terrorism that I think is very important on both sides of the Atlantic. We discussed Afghanistan and Pakistan, where Italy has been a critical part of the coalition that is trying to assist Afghanistan in stabilizing itself and ensuring that it's not a safe haven for terrorism. We had an extensive discussion about my interest in pursuing nonproliferation as an important agenda for all people. And given that I'll be visiting Russia before I visit Italy for the G8, Prime Minister Berlusconi, who has strong relationships with the Russians, was able to offer some insight in terms of how to approach reductions in nuclear arsenals. And that hopefully is going to be a topic at the G8 summit, as well. And in addition to discussing the general situation in the world economy, which obviously will be a central topic of the G8, we also discussed specifically the issue of food security and how G8 nations can assist people who are in most desperate poverty to ensure that they're not slipping into hunger and further poverty. And that is going to be a major topic of the G8 summit. And so I'm very appreciative of the leadership that Prime Minister Berlusconi has shown on that front. So overall I am very grateful to Prime Minister Berlusconi's leadership, his consistent friendship towards the United States. We have some of the strongest bilateral relations in the world. I am confident that that will continue as long as both of us are occupying our positions. And so thank you very much for taking the time to visit. PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: (As translated.) First of all, I would like to thank President Obama for his welcome and for the possibility offered us to provide our perspective, our opinions on many of the most difficult and hardest issues at the international level. And we've discussed, as he already briefed you, many of the issues and the topics, and we went through in a detailed manner the three days of the G8 summit. We want this G8 to reach concrete solutions. And we want to reach concrete solutions on many extremely important issues. Clearly, the first issue is the world economy, the economic crisis and how to get out of this crisis. And we also discussed the work that our ministers of economy are carrying out right now to try and develop a body of principles and to prevent similar situations from happening, similar situations to the one we are experiencing right now. 130 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 We both agreed on the fact that the G8 will certainly not be able to produce this body of rules, but this is going to be just one of the steps leading to that drafting of rules. There will be then the G20 summit in Pittsburgh, which will work on it, but the hope is to finally reach a body of rules which can be shared by everybody which -- which are not going to affect or hinder the free expansion of the economy and trade. And we discussed two important issues. One of them, which will be discussed in L'Aquila as well, is food security, as President Obama has already said. We hope that the countries there will make concrete efforts and concrete proposals. The United States has already promised to increase the aid to other countries and they're going to make in the next three years huge amounts of money available. We try and will push the other countries in the G8, trying to persuade them to do the same. And another important issue is that of climate change. And another important achievement we are aiming at is to reduce CO2 emissions -something, however, which has to be contributed to by all countries and not only a limited number of them. And since the Doha Round has reached a stop, we hope that by inviting Lamy, who is the director of the WTO, to attend the G8 summit, that we can try and give another push to the Doha Round, hoping to achieve positive results. Probably what I forgot to mention up to now is that the meeting in L'Aquila is not going to be confined to the G8 countries. The next day, the second day, will be G8-plus-6. The major economies of the world will be there; India, China, South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, and Egypt will attend the second day of meetings. There will be the major economies forum with the participation of South Korea, Indonesia, and Australia, and then there is another meeting which will be attended also by the Netherlands, Spain, and Denmark -- and we are going to have before all of these meetings together. The dinner will be attended also by the representatives of the main international organizations. And the third day, we are going to have the President of the African Union, the representatives of the main African organizations, together with the representatives of some of the main African countries. We are going to discuss the development of this continent and the issue of hunger in that area. And I can't but thank President Obama and express my warmest felt appreciation to him for -- and this position is coming from a person that's been long enough in international politics to chair for the third time the G8 summit; the first one was in the 1994; the second one in 2001; and now the third one -- I want to express my appreciation for his deep knowledge and precision and accuracy with which he discusses all of the issues. And the positions that he expresses are not only innovative positions looking at a different future, but they're always very concrete and absolutely based on common sense. And it is extremely comforting and a 131 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 pleasure to see that the destiny of the biggest democracy in the world is in very good hands. PRESIDENT OBAMA: I hope my staff all caught (Laughter.) Gibbs, write that down. (Laughter.) that. Let me call on a couple people. Steve Thomma, McClatchy. There you are. Mr. President, on Iran, does the disputed election results affect -- there's been violence in the street -- in any way change your willingness to meet with Mr. Ahmadinejad without preconditions? And also, do you have anything to say, any message to send to people who are on the streets protesting, who believe their votes were stolen and who are being attacked violently? PRESIDENT OBAMA: Obviously all of us have been watching the news from Iran. And I want to start off by being very clear that it is up to Iranians to make decisions about who Iran's leaders will be; that we respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the issue inside of Iran, which sometimes the United States can be a handy political football -- or discussions with the United States. Having said all that, I am deeply troubled by the violence that I've been seeing on television. I think that the democratic process -- free speech, the ability of people to peacefully dissent -- all those are universal values and need to be respected. And whenever I see violence perpetrated on people who are peacefully dissenting, and whenever the American people see that, I think they're, rightfully, troubled. My understanding is, is that the Iranian government says that they are going to look into irregularities that have taken place. We weren't on the ground, we did not have observers there, we did not have international observers on hand, so I can't state definitively one way or another what happened with respect to the election. But what I can say is that there appears to ba a sense on the part of people who were so hopeful and so engaged and so committed to democracy who now feel betrayed. And I think it's important that, moving forward, whatever investigations take place are done in a way that is not resulting in bloodshed and is not resulting in people being stifled in expressing their views. Now, with respect to the United States and our interactions with Iran, I've always believed that as odious as I consider some of President Ahmadinejad's statements, as deep as the differences that exist between the United States and Iran on a range of core issues, that the use of tough, hard-headed diplomacy -- diplomacy with no illusions about Iran and the nature of the differences between our two countries -- is critical when it comes to pursuing a core set of our national security interests, specifically, making sure that we are not seeing a nuclear arms race in the Middle East triggered by Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon; making sure that Iran is not exporting terrorist activity. Those are core interests not just to the United States but I think to a peaceful world in general. 132 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 We will continue to pursue a tough, direct dialogue between our two countries, and we'll see where it takes us. But even as we do so, I think it would be wrong for me to be silent about what we've seen on the television over the last few days. And what I would say to those people who put so much hope and energy and optimism into the political process, I would say to them that the world is watching and inspired by their participation, regardless of what the ultimate outcome of the election was. And they should know that the world is watching. And particularly to the youth of Iran, I want them to know that we in the United States do not want to make any decisions for the Iranians, but we do believe that the Iranian people and their voices should be heard and respected. PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: ANSA. (As translated.) President Obama, after this meeting with Prime Minister Berlusconi, what do you expect, in concrete terms, from the relationship between United States and Italy? And to Prime Minister Berlusconi, you had very strong relations with President George W. Bush. Do you expect and do you hope to build the same type of relations with President Obama, as well? PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: I took an oath of gratitude towards United States, which gave me freedom and which gave my country dignity after World War II. So I'm here to cooperate with the President of the United States. I'm here to cooperate with President Obama, as I cooperated with President Clinton and as I did with President Bush. So if I can express a hope, I really hope we can build a direct and friendly relationship with President Obama. I would be more than happy to do so. And facts will tell. But anyway, I think we had a good start. PRESIDENT OBAMA: Absolutely. We've had a very good start. What I expect from the Prime Minister is an honest, frank sharing of views and a recognition that the United States and Italy share common values, common interests. Our economies have very strong commercial ties. And if we're acting on those mutual interests, then I have no doubt that we'll continue to see strong cooperation. As I said before, Prime Minister Berlusconi's assistance on our efforts to close Guantanamo is very important to us. I have to say, by the way, that Bermuda has done us a great service, as well, on that front, and I'm grateful to them. When it comes to Afghanistan and Pakistan, we are part of the same coalition that wants to make sure that the Afghan government is able and strong to sustain development for the Afghan people, but also to make sure that they're not serving as a safe haven for extremists. 133 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 When it comes to the world economy, I think all of us have an interest in improving the kinds of financial regulations that will prevent the kinds of crises that we saw happening most recently. So, across the board, I think we have a host of common interests. In addition to liking Prime Minister Berlusconi personally, our peoples like each other and recognize that we have shared interests. And that, I think, will make the path for continued cooperation that much easier. (After translation.) I must say, my answers sound very elegant in Italian. (Laughter.) Steve Collinson. Thank you, Mr. President. Of the conditions that Prime Minister Netanyahu laid out yesterday for a Palestinian state, the basis for negotiation, do you think they will likely prove a stumbling block, given the broadly negative reaction from the Arab states and the Palestinians? PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, first of all, I think it's important not to immediately assess the situation based on commentary the day after a speech. I think any time an Israeli Prime Minister makes a statement, the immediate reaction tends to be negative on one side. If the other side is making a statement, oftentimes the reaction is negative in Israel. Overall, I thought that there was positive movement in the Prime Minister's speech. He acknowledged the need for two states. There were a lot of conditions, and obviously working through the conditions on Israel's side for security, as well as the Palestinian side for sovereignty and territorial integrity and the capacity to have a functioning, prosperous state, that's exactly what negotiations are supposed to be about. But what we're seeing is at least the possibility that we can restart serious talks. Now, I've been very clear that, from the United States' perspective, Israel's security is non-negotiable. We will stand behind their defense. I've also made very clear that both sides are going to have to move in some politically difficult ways in order to achieve what is going to be in the long-term interests of the Israelis and the Palestinians and the international community. On the Israeli side, that means a cessation of settlements. And there is a tendency to try to parse exactly what this means, but I think the parties on the ground understand that if you have a continuation of settlements that, in past agreements, have been categorized as illegal, that's going to be an impediment to progress. On the Palestinian side, whether it's the Palestinian Authority or other groups like Hamas that claim to speak for the Palestinians, a recognition of the Quartet principles, ensuring that there's a recognition of Israel's right to exist, making sure that past agreements are abided to, that there's an end 134 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 to incitement against Israel and an end to violence against Israel. Those are necessary pillars of any serious agreement that's to be reached. And those pillars have to be supported by the Arab states, because Israel's security concerns extend beyond simply the Palestinian Territories; they extend to concerns that they have in a whole host of neighbors where there's perceived and often real hostility towards Israel's security. So I'm glad that Prime Minister Netanyahu made the speech. The United States will continue to try to be as honest as possible to all sides in this dispute to indicate the degree to which it's in everybody's interests to move in a new direction. And I think it can be accomplished, but it's going to require a lot of work and a partnership with key countries like Italy in order to help the parties come together and recognize their own interests. You discussed during the meeting the crisis, the economic crisis, you're going to discuss at the G8. The package of measures you are discussing right now, can this be a kind of basis for the next meetings -- G8 and G20? PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, our respective finance ministers, not just Italy's and the United States', but all the G8 members', have been meeting diligently. They've put forward a framework that will be discussed and hopefully ratified at the G8. That will provide a broad set of principles. Now, the United States is putting forward some very specific regulatory reforms that are going to make sure that we don't find ourselves in this position again, that improves oversight, ensures that banks aren't taking risks with highly leveraged money that can result in systemic collapse, that consumers and investors are protected more effectively. So we're going to have a lot of work to do. It's going to be a big, complex piece of legislation. Different countries are going to have different needs. Prime Minister Berlusconi was indicating to me that the banking system in Italy has not been under the same kinds of pressures as the banking system in the United States and some other European countries. But I think the general principle -- that we're going to have improved oversight, better practices, and that there's some coordination and information-sharing between countries on issues like tax havens, for example, so that you don't have global capital avoiding more stringent rules by going to countries with weaker rules -- I think that's going to be something that all G8 members affirm, and we very much appreciate Prime Minister Berlusconi's leadership on this issue. PRIME MINISTER BERLUSCONI: I would like to add to this that our ministers of finance have been working on all of these issues and packages. In particular they paid attention, for instance, to corporate governments and rules for transparency and a regulation of the financial sectors, accounting rules, and as President Obama has also mentioned, 135 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762382 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

Sick has independent sources and is very well informed. June 17, 2009 Is this another Iranian revolution? To someone who has watched and studied the Iranian revolution of 1979 with fascination, developments in Iran today have an eerie reminiscence. Then there were massive protests that filled the streets, often marching in dignified but ominous silence; there was bloodshed as nervous security men with guns faced determined but unarmed crowds; there were sullen mourning parades;20there were catchy chants and ritual calls of "Down with the shah!"; at night the rooftops rang with shouts of allahu akbar. You need only change "shah" to "dictator," and you have a description of what is happening in Iran today. But there is one very big difference. Thirty years ago, Iran had a charismatic cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini who had a refined sense of strategy and a willingness to risk everything for the cause he represented. On the other side was Mohammed Reza Shah, who had been on the throne for some 37 years and who commanded one of the most powerful military and security regimes in the world. On the surface it appeared to be an uneven battle — guns against turbans — but the ruler with the guns wavered and the turbans grew in size and confidence until the old order collapsed. Today the nominal leader of the opposition forces is a reformed radical, Mir Hossein Mousavi, who is notably lacking in personal charisma. On the other side is the constitutional Leader, Ayatollah IChamene' i, who is widely perceived as a cautious political animal with limited qualifications for his religious post and who compensates for his own lack of charisma by manipulation of the political system and the institutions most loyal to him — particularly the politically minded clergy and the powerful security forces, including the Revolutionary Guards. Neither of these men seems to be fully in control of their own forces, let alone the situation. The fraudulent election defeat of Mousavi was a triggering event, but the energy behind these unprecedented demonstrations is due more to the sense of outrage and betrayal at the gross manipulation of numbers by the regime than it is about any undying devotion to Mousavi. Yesterday Mousavi ordered that people stay home in face of a conflicting pro-regime demonstration. They marched anyway (and the daughter of former president Rafsanjani joined them and urged them on). Mousavi then "ordered" everyone to march the following day (which they were probably going to do with or without his orders). IChamene'i announced the "divine assessment" of the election outcome — even before it would probably have been physically possible to count the more than 40 million ballots. Then, in the face of mass protests, he ordered an investigation of the results by the Guardian Council— the same organization that was responsible for managing the election in the first place. No one believed him in either case, and no one expected anything of importance from the Guardian Council. Khamene'i has ordered peace and reconciliation. No one paid any attention. I deliberately did not mention president-elect Ahmadinejad. After celebrating his "victory," he went off to a largely symbolic meeting in Moscow. He seems to be out of the decision loop and more of a passive player than a major actor in these events. So who is calling the shots? Mousavi seems to be running along after the crowd, not leading it. But that is probably all that is required to keep the protest in motion. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762421 Date: 06/30/2015 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?

Sid Thursday, June 18, 2009 Day of Mourning, Protests, Called by Mousavi on Thursday Mir-Hosain Mousavi, who maintains he won last Friday's presidential election despite official assertions that he lost 2 to 1 to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is calling for another rally Thursday, this time in part to honor the persons killed by hardliners or security forces in the course of previous demonstrations. Mourning the martyr is as central to Iranian Shiite religious culture as it was to strains of medieval Catholicism in Europe, and Mousavi's camp is tapping into a powerful set of images and myths here. The archetypal Shiite martyr is Imam Husayn, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who championed oppressed Muslims in Iraq and was cut down by the then Umayyad Muslim Empire. Redognition that a Muslim state might commit the ultimate in sacrilege by beheading a person who had been dangled on the Prophet's knee has imbued modern political Shiism with a distrust of the state. When Husayn's head was brought to the Umayyad caliph Yazid and deposited before his throne, older companions of the Prophet are said to have wept and remarked, "I saw the Prophet's lips on those cheeks." Shiites ritually march, flagellate, and chant in honor of the martyred Imam or divinely-appointed leader. Today's protesters are wearing green, which symbolizes Mousavi's descent from the Prophet Muhammad. (Mousavi's family name refers to the Seventh Imam (descendant of the Prophet with claims to divine knowledge), Musa Kazim, whose tomb is in Kazimiya, north Baghdad. Sayyid families, those claiming descent from the Prophet, often take one of the Imams' names as a family name to honor them, though of course they are also claiming descent from the previous Imams right back to the Prophet.) The repertoires of protest the reformists are using echo those of the 1978-79 Islamic Revolution-- they are chanting "God is Great," mourning pious fallen martyrs, etc.-- another sign that this movement is not just alienated secularized elites. But now Mousavi's his supporters are also sporting black ribbons to indicate that they are in mourning for the fallen. Typically, the dead will be commemorated again at one month and at 40 days. In 1978 such demonstrations for those killed in previous demonstrations grew in size all through the year, till they reached an alleged million in the streets of Tehran. Since the reformists are already claiming Monday's rally was a million, you wonder where things will go from here. The regime's attempt to paint the protesters as nothing more than US intelligence agents underlines how wise President Obama has been not to insert himself forcefully into the situation in Iran. The reformers and the hard liners are not stable groupings. The core of each is competing for the allegiance of the general Iranian public. If the reformers can convince most Iranians of the justice of their cause, they will swing behind the opposition. If the hard liners can convince the public that the reformers are nothing more than cat's paws of a grasping, imperialist West-- i.e. that they are Ahmad Chalabis trying to bring Iran foreign occupation so as to get power themselves-- then the reformists will be crushed. Iranians value national independence above all, having suffered with a CIA-installed goverment for decades in the mid-twentieth century.

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. Dell Days of Deals!

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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762424 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762424 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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.

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.

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. 12 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762432 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762432 Date: 06/30/2015 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."

Pi did the CNN interview this a.m. No doubt it will be a tough story but according to Miller it was an honest discussion. Have been keeping Casey's office in the loop and I plan to visit him personally. In the meantime I would like to move as soon as possible to put someone into the A/S position on an acting basis.

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 voila—there 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 proud—I was watching the Clinton impeachment hearings with friends when you were testifying and shouted, "Oh my God—I 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: From: Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 11:42 PM To: Secretary Subject: Partner Benefits - A personal thank you from the field I'm not sure whether this message will ever find its way to Secretary Clinton, but I would like to convey my deep gratitude for her courage in extending benefits to same-sex partners of Foreign Service Officers. I would also like to share how her decision has literally changed the course of my career. 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 lc UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762434 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762434 Date: 06/30/2015 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, B6 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 officer—and 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.

I included some background below. Please let me know if you are available for a meeting and I'll connect you with them. Thanks! • UPMC's Relationship with Italy: UPMC has a long and successful track record in Italy. More than a decade ago, UPMC entered into a publicprivate partnership in Italy, and in collaboration with the region of Sicily and two existing hospitals, established a major transplant and specialty care hospital. The construction of the 18 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762435 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762435 Date: 06/30/2015 facility, ("ISMETT") was funded by the government and UPMC , which oversaw the construction and continues to manage it. It has been a great success - bringing transplantation and 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 and Biotechnology Center (BRBC) outside of Palermo, which will focus on sparking a biotechnology/regenerative medicine sector in the region. (Please see attached RiMED document.) The government has appropriated 330 million Euros for this initiative. Further, UPMC is a consultant to the Italian Government and is in negotiations with the regional governments in Milan and Florence. Our international offices are in Rome. • UPMC's Relationship with Prime Minister Berlusconi: (a.) UPMC has had a long term and stable relationship in Italy over the past ten years, including two governments led by Prime Minister Berlusconi. He is knowledgeable about UPMC, as is Giarmi Letta, Italian Council of Ministry Under Secretary. (b.) The RiMED initiative was conceived during his previous term of office and in 2005, the letter of intent for RiMED was personally signed by Prime Minister Berlusconi and Mr. Jeffrey A. Romoff, President of UPMC. (c.) It was under the Berlusconi administration that the decision was made to fund RiMED and 330 million Euros were appropriated for this purpose. Mr. Romoff participated in a press conference at Palazzo Chigi with the Prime Minister. (d.) Recently, because of the devastating earthquake and the economic downturn, the resources to fund RiMED have become constrained, but it is felt this is simply an issue of an unexpected contingency, rather than any lack of interest and support. (e.) Mr. Romoff has met with Prime Minister Berlusconi several times and is fluent in Italian. (f .) Many of the significant political figures in Sicily are very closely associated with the Prime Minister and his party and the importance of UPMC to the Region and potentially to Italy is reinforced. • UPMC's Proposed 21CB: We are pursuing funding for a flexible, multi-product biologics facility in Southwestern PA, to develop and manufacture vaccines and therapeutic drugs as a defense against our nation's gravest threat: the Pandemic spread of diseases and diseases used by bioterrorists as weapons of mass destruction. Thanks to the tremendous help from our partners, Governor Rendell and Senator Arlen Specter, we have garnered wide spread support from many across the executive Branch and Congress including Vice President Biden and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. We will have the opportunity to brief DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on June 15th. The economic impact to the region would be unparalleled, resulting in approximately 1000 direct jobs and up to 6000 indirect jobs, all the while reducing production costs to the U. S. Government by 80 %. (Please see attached 21st Century Biodefense document.) • UPMC's Proposal for the Italian Government: 10 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762435 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762435 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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. 25 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762442 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762442 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

Palau UN Amb. Beck says you were friends in law school & thought you recognized him when he came in w/Pres. Toribiong. Hope you're not in pain and mend soon. Jeff June 20, 2009 The Myth of the $12 Million Uighur . By STUART BECK CONGRATULATIONS Palau. Our little country, a group of islands 500 miles east of the Philippines, has become, if only briefly, a household word. President Obama, much admired in Palau, asked our new president, Johnson Toribiong, to do the United States a favor: Please accept, as refugees, a group of innocent Chinese Muslims. They are not anti-American terrorists, but victims of human rights violations, who landed at Guantanamo Bay for seven years. Innocent, stateless, harmless. President Toribiong, a lawyer trained at the University of Washington and a highly regarded litigator, told President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that he needed to assure his people that the Uighurs were indeed harmless, and could be integrated into Palau's small, diverse and friendly culture. Assuming that this due diligence brought satisfactory results, Palau would be pleased to give the refugees temporary residence. Last weekend, he dispatched a number of officials to Guantanamo to interview the Uighurs and review their records. One would have thought that this positive gesture of friendship from a staunch American ally would have been applauded, at least in the United States. Instead, for reasons that are beyond me, unattributed leaks and unsubstantiated rumors have twisted Palau's act of decency into another grab for dollars by a cunning third-world country. In breaking the story that Palau was amenable to President Obama's request, the Associated Press reported that two anonymous State Department officials had linked Palau's acceptance of the Uighurs to a $200 million payoff. Almost immediately, much of the news media took the bait, did the math and asserted that Palau was getting nearly $12 million dollars per Uighur. Within a day or two, The Wall Street Journal was pontificating against a shakedown. Before the story gets too far out of hand, let's consider a few facts. It is true that the United States and Palau have an economic relationship. Palau has been receiving American aid since it was wrested from the Japanese in 1944. (Over the past 15 years, this has averaged about $56 million a year.) This aid has come with strings; as the United States has always insisted that the Palauan government be ready to promptly turn over land for bases should the security of the United States or Palau require it.

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.

Sid 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. Sid 5byousavi's New Revolutionary Manifesto Gary Sick June 21, 2009 I 10:51am L — 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762454 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762454 Date: 06/30/2015 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 movement—and Mousavi himself—have 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 movement—and Mousavi himself—have 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.

Preliminary Analysis of Voting Figures in Iran's 2009 Presidential Election www.chathamhouse.org.uk 2 Executive Summary Working from the province by province breakdowns of the 2009 and 2005 results, released by the Iranian Ministry of Interior, and from the 2006 census as published by the official Statistical Centre of Iran, the following observations about the official data and the debates surrounding it can be made. • In two conservative provinces, Mazandaran and Yazd, a turnout of more than 100% was recorded. • At a provincial level, there is no correlation between the increased turnout and the swing to Ahmadinejad. This challenges the notion that Ahmadinejad's victory was due to the massive participation of a previously silent conservative majority. • In a third of all provinces, the official results would require that Ahmadinejad took not only all former conservative voters, all former UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762461 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762461 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

Where did Ahmadinejad's New Votes Come From? According to the official Ministry of Interior voting data (see Appendix), Mahmud Ahmadinejad has increased the conservative vote by 113% compared to the 2005 election. There is little correlation in provincial level results between the increase in turnout and the swing to the President, challenging the notion that a previously silent conservative majority has come out to support him. Interestingly, in 1.0 out of 30 provinces, mainly former Mehdi Karrubi strongholds, the official data suggests that Ahmadinejad received not only the votes of all former non-voters and former Rafsanjani voters, but also took up to 44% of the vote from those who had previously voted Reformist. According to the official data1, Mahmud Ahmadinejad has received approximately 13m more votes in this election than the combined conservative vote in the 2005 Presidential election2. Assuming that Ahmadinejad retained all 11.5m Conservative votes from 2005, these additional 13m votes could have come from three sources, in descending order of likelihood: • The approximately 10.6m citizens who did not vote in 2005, but chose to vote in this election • The 6.2m citizens who voted for the centrist Rafsanjani in 2005 • The 10.4m citizens who voted for Reformist candidates in 2005 In order to examine in detail where Ahmadinejad's increased support came from, the table below (Fig.3) shows the composition of the 2009 vote by province, dividing it into those who voted Conservative, Rafsanjani, and Reformist in 2005, and those who did not vote at all in 2005. It assumes that 2005 voters will vote again. The table demonstrates that in the 10 of Iran's 30 provinces highlighted red, in order for the official statistics to be correct Ahmadinejad would have needed to win over all new voters, all former Rafsanjani voters, and also up to 44% of former reformist voters. 1 Serious complaints have been raised about both the 2005 elections and the 2009 elections. Government data is not perfectly reliable. 2 In 2005 there were three Conservative candidates in the first round. Ahmadinejad can reasonably be expected to have received in 2009, all votes cast for Conservatives in 2005. Here, Ahmadinejad's 2009 performance is compared to the combined performance of all three Conservatives in 2005. Preliminary Analysis of Voting Figures in Iran's 2009 Presidential Election www.chathamhouse.org.uk 6 It is notable that many of these are provinces where the Reformist cleric Mehdi Karrubi polled highly in 2005, and the government's figures would appear to suggest that his former supporters have not voted tactically for the likely Reformist challenger Mir Hussein Musavi, as many had expected, but rather that they have defected to the hard-line conservative incumbent Ahmadinejad. This interpretation is to some extent supported by the relationship between the percentage of former Karrubi voters in a province, and its swing to Ahmadinejad (Fig.2). To many Reformists, this situation is extremely unlikely. Mehdi Karrubi is a well-known reformist, of polar opposite views to Ahmadinejad on issues of political and cultural freedoms, economic management, and foreign policy. They allege fraud, and it is likely that the provinces where Karrubi's vote has collapsed will provide the bulk of the 600+ complaints which the defeated c andidates are lodging against the conduct of the election.

Ahmadinejad's supporters thus claim that rural voters voted for Ahmadinejad in 2009 for precisely the same reasons that they voted for Karrubi in 2005. The data offers no arbitration in this dispute, although Roukema's application of statistical fraud detection techniques to the 'by district' data has turned up some anomalies with respect to the figures for Karrubi's vote,3 which may suggest that they were created by a computer. These can be followed up should the fully disaggregated 'by polling station' data be released during the ongoing dispute. 3 B Roukena, 'Benford's Law Anomalies in the 2009 Iranian Presidential Election' (as yet unpublished article, 2009).

Do Rural Voters Support Ahmadinejad? Many commentators have suggested, before and after the Presidential Election, that Ahmadinejad is very popular in rural areas and that this explains his high levels of support. However, the data from the 2005 Presidential election does not support this contention. Instead, it confirms that what support Ahmadinejad did gain in 2005 was mainly from urban and suburban areas. The graphs below show the levels of support for Ahmadinejad against the rural population of the province in question (Fig.4) and Conservatives as a group (Fig.5). Preliminary Analysis of Voting Figures in Iran's 2009 Presidential Election www.chathamhouse.org.uk 10 Source: Ministry of Interior Publications 2005 and 2009 and Iranian Census of 2006 (see appendix) This data supports the con tention of academic experts on rural Iranian politics4 that rural voters have not been the dedicated Ahmadinejad supporters occasionally described in western media. This is supported by the fact that much of Iran's rural population is comprised of ethnic minorities: Lors, Baluch, •Kurdish, and Arab amongst others. These ethnic minorities have a history both of voting Reformist and of voting for members of their own ethnic group. For UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762461 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762461 Date: 06/30/2015 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 4 Cf.

This, more than any other result, is highly implausible, and has been the subject of much debate in Iran. This increase in support for Ahmadinejad amongst rural and ethnic minoritiy 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.

The latest on the Sean Goldman case. The Lins e Silva family will appear on CBS tomorrow morning with a tape showing an interview with Sean Goldman where he says he wants to live in Brazil and that he considers Lins e Silva his father. David Goldman and his attorneys are extremely upset about Sean being exploited this way. The federal court that just decided that David should have custody whenever he is in Brazil believes the Lins e Silva family and maternal grandparents are doing all they can to alienate Sean from his father. We have been asked to provide CBS with a written statement about all that is being done to reunite Sean with his father. This is In the works now. Here is what we know about the tape: Family Releases New Psych Transcript Brazilian press have reported the release of a transcript of a new psychological interview of Sean Goldman, quoting Sean as stating that he considers Lins e Silva his father and that he wants to stay in Brazil. Press reports indicate that this interview was taped, and took place in front of witnesses from the Rio state level children's rights organizations. At least one report then referred to the controversy of the psychological exam, and quotes a psychologist as saying that the mother's family may be increasing the boy's suffering by making him talk once more, thereby reliving the child's traumas.

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

Best wishes, Stu Eizenstat From: Menachem Rosensaft Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2009 8:11 PM To: hebrish Subject: Your June 22, 2009 article on the Prague Conference Dear Mr. Liphshiz, With respect to your article yesterday on the utterly unwarranted personal attack on Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat by a group of American Holocaust survivors, you should be aware that the leadership of the largest organization of survivors and descendants of survivors in the United States, the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, in no way shares these sentiments. On the contrary, we hold Ambassador Eizenstat in the highest esteem, know him to be a man of the highest integrity and ethical standards, and are deeply grateful to him for everything he has done and continues to do on behalf of the survivors over many years. Neither David Schaecter nor Leo Rechter speak for anyone other than the groups they represent, and Mr. Rechter's statement that survivors have "no confidence" in Ambassador Eizenstat is, viewed most charitably, a gross overstatement in that he seeks to attribute his personal prejudices to the many thousands of survivors who do not share his views and who have never authorized him to speak in their name. The lives of thousands upon thousands of survivors throughout the world have been made easier over the past 15 years thanks to Ambassador Eizenstat's tireless work on their behalf. I cannot think of anyone more appropriate to head the U.S. delegation to the Prague conference. The fact is that Ambassador Eizenstat's only association with the Claims Conference is a once a year, three day negotiation as a volunteer with the German government for the interests of the survivors. The first such negotiation took place earlier this year in March and resulted in 13,000 survivors who had previously been turned down becoming eligible for for reparations for the first time, and in the improvement in existing pension payments to survivors totaling over $50 million. Moreover, the specific pension issues for which he volunteered to negotiate with the German government bear no relationship to the issues being covered by the Prague Conference. During the Clinton Administration, Ambassador Eizenstat was the Special Representative of the President and Secretary of State on Holocaust era issues and the lead negotiator on such issues with the Swiss, German, Austrian and French governments, as well as with various Eastern and Central European governments. In that capacity, he obtained over $8 billion dollars in compensation and restitution for Holocaust survivors, including payments to slave and forced laborers, the return of thousands of Jewish communal and private properties, the payments of tens of thousands of previously undisclosed bank accounts, the recovery of hundreds of pieces of looted art, and the payments on thousands of insurance policies. Indeed, Ambassador Eizenstat is more responsible than any other single person for placing the issue of justice for Holocaust survivors on the international agenda more than half a century after the end of World War II. He has also headed the U.S. delegations to every one of the four previous international conferences dealing with Holocaust era assets, beginning with the 1997 London Conference on Nazi Gold. Messrs. Schaecter and Rechter are well aware of all this, and the fact that they chose to engage in an ad hominem attack against Ambassador Eizenstat one week before the opening of the Prague conference - his appointment as head of the U.S. delegation was publicly announced weeks ago - is unseemly and disingenuous in the extreme. 34 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762459 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762459 Date: 06/30/2015 By way of introduction, I am vice president of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants (I am the son of two survivors of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen), and I am a member of the U.S. delegation to the Prague conference.

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. Laura Rozen I Permalink I fA9ç%'1 Comments?

From: Rudman, Mara To: Mills, Cheryl D; Sullivan, Jacob J Sent: Thu Jun 25 13:38:19 2009 Subject: FW: blog response to Elliott's WSJ article Though the top part obviously has stuff that is not relevant, once she gets to substance of the piece, it has a more detailed tit for tat that offers more research than our quick points did this morning... http://peacenowconversation.org/?p=219 The Settlers' Lawyer (or, Elliott Abrams Is At It Again) June 25, 2009, posted by Lara Friedman On May 23, 2005, the Washington Post ran a an incisive op-ed by former State Department negotiator and Middle East advisor Aaron Miller, entitled "Israel's Lawyer," in which Aaron argued "For far too long, many American officials involved in Arab-Israeli peacemaking, myself included, have acted as Israel's attorney..." I was reminded of that article when I read today's piece by Elliott Abrams in the Wall Street Journal, which should, I believe, have been entitled "The West Bank Settlers' Lawyer." Before anyone accuses me of casting aspersions on Mr. Abrams' honor or motivations, let me be clear: I have no doubt he has taken the case pro bono. For him, advocating for the settlers is clearly a labor of love. And the settlers are fortunate to have Elliott volunteering for the job. He brings a unique combination of expertise and experience, combined, it would seem, with a shameless willingness to cherry-pick the facts and, when the facts don't support his argument, to fall back on the "I was there and I know what happened." An interesting approach from a man who does not have a spotless record when it comes to truth-telling and foreign policy (for anyone who has forgotten the history: "Elliott Abrams — Pleaded guilty October 7, 1991, to two misdemeanor charges of withholding information from Congress about secret government efforts to support the Nicaraguan contra rebels during a ban on such aid. U.S. District Chief Judge Aubrey E. Robinson, Jr., sentenced Abrams November 15, 1991, to two years probation and 100 hours community service. Abrams was pardoned December 24, 1992.") But that was a long time ago. Let's forgot the ugly and embarrassing Iran-Contra history and focus on the "facts" in the current case, as Elliott sees them: In today's WSJ article, Elliott offers an almost completely unverifiable history of what he says transpired between June 2003 and August 2005 (the date of Israel's "disengagement" from Gaza). Predictably, he focuses on the letter President Bush gave to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on April 14, 2004. In that letter, Elliott notes (correctly), Bush wrote: "In light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli populations centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949." 61 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762522 Date: 06/30/2015 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' have a really excellent lawyer. 62 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762522 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762522 Date: 06/30/2015 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." 63 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762522 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762805 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B5 From: Sent: To: Subject: Mills, Cheryl D Thursday, June 25, 2009 4:41 PM Fw: note to S Fyi - a clas version will come in hard copy in your pouch tonight From: Goldberg, Philip S To: Mills, Cheryl D Sent: Thu Jun 25 16:31:19 2009 Subject: note to S Cheryl, Here is a cleaned up version of what I will send to S.

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. 89 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762902 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

Clinton, who was appointed to the post by UN chief Ban Ki-moon last month, is to confer with government officials "about how to best support the efforts to prepare for hurricanes, generate new jobs and enhance the delivery of basic social services," UN spokeswoman Michele Montas told reporters. The former US president "will also focus on how to ensure that the United Nations, civil society and the donor community align their activities with the government's recovery plan as well as with each other," she added. It will be Clinton's his second trip to Haiti this year. In March, he and Ban toured Haiti together and urged the international community to continue to aid the impoverished Caribbean country. Clinton, who visited Haiti while president in 1995, was the first US leader to travel to the country while in office since Franklin Roosevelt in 1934. The former US president has sought to focus world attention on Haiti which was devastated by hurricanes last year and is the poorest country in the western hemisphere.

Rumor is hes smart, quiet, bookish. Like his father. What is interesting is that the reason abdullah gave from removing his brother 5 years ago is that he thought the weight of being crown prince restricted his life, education and travel. I suspect the reason he's done this is so his son can be properly groomed from now to inherit the thrown. Life will change dramatically for him.

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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762580 Date: 06/30/2015 B6 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762580 Date: 06/30/2015 2004.

Carolyn Maloney, who has irritated other Democratic leaders by announcing she*s challenging Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) in a primary. The July 20 fundraiser with Clinton*in Manhattan had been in the works for months, well before Maloney announced she would be running against Gillibrand. The former president has not endorsed in the race for his wife*s former Senate seat and is not planning to issue an endorsement, according to his spokesman. Clinton held a fundraiser for Gillibrand in March soon after she was appointed to the Senate by Gov. David Paterson (D-N.Y). The fundraiser is for Maloney*s House fund but in practical terms, the fundraiser has the same effect as raising money for a Senate campaign. Maloney is allowed to transfer unlimited sums from her House campaign account to any future Senate account, according to FEC law. Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna said the fundraiser is part of a series of events where the former president is helping out elected officials who supported his wife*s 2008 presidential campaign. *We agreed to do this event some time ago, as a way of saying thank you for the congresswoman*s hard work on behalf of then-Sen. Clinton in the presidential campaign* said McKenna. But Clinton is steering clear from helping another Hillary-supporting House Democrat who is also challenging a sitting senator in a primary. POLITICO reported last month that Clinton wont be holding any fundraisers for Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.), a Clinton pal who is running against Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.). Specter has been endorsed by President Obama, Vice President Biden and Gov. Ed Rendell (D-Pa.), who was also one of Hillary*s most dedicated supporters in 2008.

I talked to him off the record, and he admitted that he gets a "steady drumbeat" of requests from producers to find out "if Hillary is holding her own" in the intragency battles, and particularly if there's infighting between her and White House. He said what specifically prompted his q at the briefing on whether the VP was beginning to usurp S's role in foreign policy was Gibb's announcement Tuesday that the VP was taking lead in Iraq policy (below). I emphasized to him that the Sec is very engaged and involved in Iraq policy, noting she was on a conference call today with Chris Hill.

GIBBS: Well, I -- I mean, obviously, he spends a fairly decent amount of time with the president. QUESTION: Right. GIBBS: I think the meetings that I've been in, in different parts of the building on Iraq, the vice president has always been an active participant. I think, given his knowledge of the region, the number of times he's been there, he's perfectly suited for this type of role. QUESTION: I guess what I'm getting at, does it mean travel? Does it mean briefing? Does it mean doing some of the things he's done more publicly, for example, on the stimulus? GIBBS: My sense is, it probably means many of those things. Again, I think what we want to ensure happens is that, as we reach these milestones and these important dates, that we not forget that work has to be done to get our troops back and to achieve that political reconciliation. This is somebody who can oversee that at the White House and ensure that we're making continued progress toward those goals. 26 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762562 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762592 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Abedin, Huma Friday, July 03, 2009 8:57 AM Oscar Flores Aliyev Call with president aliyev has been confirmed for 10am.

Some readers will find parts of his report disturbing. There has been so much news of death and destruction from Iraq that the position of sexual minorities is rarely touched on in the mainstream media. But stories of torture and murder of gay Iraqis, particularly men, have been emerging in the gay press for several years. Investigating these stories for a BBC Radio 5 Live documentary, Gay Life After Saddam, I've heard a range of views about the deteriorating conditions for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people. Some say the violence has intensified in the past few months. Others say killings run into the hundreds and have been going on since 2003. What is clear, and confirmed by separate evidence from various human rights groups, is that some gay men have been subjected to appalling violent abuse. One young Iraqi, Amil (not his real name) recalled the death of a friend: "They found out he was gay and they killed him and they chopped him like a lamb, it was awful." Another man (who wished to remain anonymous) revealed to Scott Long from the New York-based Human Rights Watch, how his partner was kidnapped and killed. "It was late one night when four armed men came to take my boyfriend from his parents' house. " They found out he was gay and they killed him and they chopped him like a lamb" Amil, a gay Iraqi L "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." 82 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762642 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762642 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

Yet President Barack Obama, who would command a monumental audience nearly anywhere he spoke on the continent where he traces his ancestry, is not scheduled to deliver a speech to the general public when he visits Ghana next week. The White House said it preferred a smaller event at Ghana's parliament to herald the nation's democratic traditions. But some suspect the reason has its roots in an event that holds a storied place in White House lore — President Bill Clinton's 1998 speech to a massive crowd in the sweltering heat of Accra, Ghana, where Obama will visit as well. For Clinton, the first stop on a 12-day, six-country African journey was a chance to bask in the adulation far from Washington, then consumed with the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Clinton now regularly pegs the size of the crowd that day at 1 million, though years ago he described it simply as more than 500,000. Whatever the number, the overheated, overcrowded, overwhelming event left some in Clinton's party worried that he'd been shot, and a doctor concerned that he could contract HIV from frantic interaction with the crowd. And it took a threatening turn at the end, as a red-faced, shouting Clinton implored the crowd, "Get back! Back off!" as it threatened to crush a woman near the front of the stage. "The crowd was so large that it began surging towards the stage. Suddenly, a woman in the front of the crowd began to get trampled," recalled Sandy Berger, Clinton's national security adviser at the time. "Clinton jumped up and put his arm down over the side and grabbed her. The Secret Service thought he'd been shot and freaked out." A7 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762645 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762645 Date: 06/30/2015 "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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762645 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762645 Date: 06/30/2015 institutions in the political life of Ghana," the official said. In a briefing for reporters this week, the National Security Council's director for African Affairs, Michelle Gavin, indicated Obama's main interaction with ordinary people during his less-than-24-hour visit will come at the Accra airport during "a departure ceremony that will allow more Ghanaians an opportunity to participate in the visit." In addition to the challenges inherent in controlling a friendly crowd, another possible factor weighing against a major outdoor speech by Obama is the terrorist threat posed by at Qaeda. The bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania came in August 1998, about five months after Clinton spoke to the throngs in Ghana. Since September 11, 2001, there have also been reports of al Qaeda activity in the West African countries Liberia and Sierra Leone. "It's another world," Mariano said. "We were pre-9/11 with Clinton. After 9/11, everything changed." Even without a formal public event, thousands of Ghanaians are sure to flock into the streets in the hopes of getting a glimpse of Obama. There should be no shortage of pictures of excited Africans cheering the U.S. president's visit. When President George W. Bush went to Ghana in February 2008, he avoided venues that might draw a large crowd. There was no grand speech. Bush met with Peace Corps volunteers at the U.S. ambassador's residence, talked to development groups at a foreign trade center, took in a one-inning tee-ball game, and attended a State Dinner at Osu Castle, which was then the seat of government. One highlight of Bush's visit was the performance of the U.S. national anthem by American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, who works against malaria. Of course, in a sense Obama may already have broken whatever record Clinton set in Accra 11 years ago. When Obama was sworn in in January, Washington, D.C. officials estimated the crowd at 1.8 million. Other estimates ranged from 800,000 to 3 million. Of course, no one was in danger of heatstroke. Frostbite was more like it. In 2008, during the presidential campaign, Obama spoke in Germany to a crowd Berlin police estimated at more than 200,000. The purported million-strong turnout for Clinton's speech is all the more impressive given Ghana's size. The country's population back in 1998 was estimated at 18.5 million, while about 2 million people lived in the capital. Berger said Ghanaians still remember the event fondly. "I was in Ghana two weeks ago and people still talk about it," he said. "Everybody I talked to said they were there." Scales said keeping Obama out of a mass-crowd situation is "probably a very smart decision." "President Clinton was considered by some the first black president," she said. "Just imagine what kind of crowd America's real first black president could draw." 00 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762645 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762645 Date: 06/30/2015 C 2009 Capitol News Company, LLC UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762645 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762647 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: Abedin, Huma Monday, July 6, 2009 3:22 PM Re: Sorry yes exactly We have shy tomorrow at 10am too.

Some readers will find parts of his report disturbing. There has been so much news of death and destruction from Iraq that the position of sexual minorities is rarely touched on in the mainstream media. But stories of torture and murder of gay Iraqis, particularly men, have been emerging in the gay press for several years. Investigating these stories for a BBC Radio 5 Live documentary, Gay Life After Saddam, I've heard a range of views about the deteriorating conditions for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people. Some say the violence has intensified in the past few months. Others say killings run into the hundreds and have been going on since 2003.

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.

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.

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.)

Sid http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1284.xml?ReleaselD=1347&What=&strArea=;&strTime=0 hnt this page Close window 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762667 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762667 Date: 06/30/2015 "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.

Sid hrc memo cfr speech 070809.docx CONFIDENTIAL July 9, 2009 For: Hillary From: Sid 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 nations—and peoples—seek 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.

By David J. Rothkopf Wed, 07/08/2009 - 11:25arn 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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762715 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762715 Date: 06/30/2015 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, with his speeches describing what was new and the possibility of interacting with him being the potential payoff. 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.

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.

I mentioned that we were doing some work on maritime developments in the region from the Persian Gulf to the East China Sea and Sea of Japan. Below are key findings from the report, but the main takeaway is that the political impact of Chinese military modernization may be greater than a narrow technical analysis of China's capabilities would suggest, and for a range of reasons, technical and political, prospects for regional cooperation are limited, but pathways to conflict are numerous and increasing. All best, Jackie Key findings from the workshop include: • Chinese naval modernization has proceeded at rates higher than forecast 10 years ago and has created the capability to complicate operation of US carrier battle groups within 1,000 kilometers of the Chinese coastline. • 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. • Chinese maritime relations with countries along the littoral area have continued to develop, with a new friendly relationship emerging with Sri Lanka, to complement the existing relations with Myanmar and Pakistan. This may lead to a new form of "blue-brown water" naval operations, in which Chinese naval forces operate far from Chinese bases, but close to the coasts of client states. The workshop tended to the conclusion that the trends in the region were not such as to make maritime cooperation easy. These trends include: Japanese concern that Chinese dominance in the waters within 1,000 miles of Chinese territory has immediate consequences for Japan's maritime autonomy. • Indian suspicion of Chinese naval developments in Hainan Island, Chinese development of port infrastructure in Pakistan and Myanmar, and the possibility of Chinese ballistic missile submarines operating close to India. • Indian interest in SSBNs, plus Chinese SSBN ports in Hainan and even, possibly, Pakistani SSBNs, all of which creates the possibility of multiple SSBN patrols in the Indian Ocean, along with the potential for naval nuclear accidents at sea. • Asymmetries in levels of operational competence, and technology, in submarines and maritime aviation, which, for example, make functional multi-national naval cooperation harder for states that are afraid of revealing technologies or weaknesses. • The major role of land-based maritime warfare strike complexes in UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762745 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762745 Date: 06/30/2015 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: • The circumstances under which the Chinese may seek to demonstrate that their new maritime capabilities must be taken seriously and respected, and • 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.

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.

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 141 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762764 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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!

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 suspect that – with Villarreal in charge of the effort – reluctant wallets will become less so. Regardless, though, 150 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762769 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762769 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

The president's reference to Honduras during his trip to Moscow reflects how the small Central American country is but a pawn as the administration pushes the reset button globally and in the hemisphere. Justice may not be totally served in Honduras, but the country is likely to end up better off anyway. "America cannot and should not seek to impose any system of government on any other country," Obama said in Russia, "nor would we presume to choose which party or individual should run a country. . . . Even as we meet here today, America supports now the restoration of the democratically elected president of Honduras, even though he has strongly opposed American policies. We do so not because we agree with him. We do so because we respect the universal principle that people should choose their own leaders." 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. Edward Schumacher-Matos is syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group.

Hillary is set to deliver her high-profile speech at the Council on Foreign Relations, and is set to articulate her own policy agenda, one focused on strengthening America's "smart power," according to The Politico. It could help settle whether she has privately favored a more hawkish stance towards hostile foreign powers, as she reportedly has. The array of people she has consulted for this speech is striking in its diversity, boasting a notable array of Republicans, foreign policy "realists" and hawkish voices. A partial list: Henry Kissinger, Nixon's secretary of state; George Schultz, Reagan's secretary of state; Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jimmy Carter's hawkish "realist" foreign policy adviser; Paul Farmer, a doctor and international humanitarian; Joseph Nye, a major proponent of "soft power," the idea that persuasion and attraction can be more effective than coercion; Francis Fukuyama, who helped drive the rise of neoconservatism; Brent Scowcroft; the "realist" national security adviser under George H.W. Bush; Strobe Talbott, Clinton's deputy secretary of state; John Podesta, the head of the liberal Center for American Progress; and Richard Lugar, the Republican Senator who has praised Obama's response to the Iran crisis. Hillary has also consulted with administration figures like President Obama himself, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and national security adviser James Jones. 193 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763097 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763097 Date: 06/30/2015 Obviously there's someone here for everyone, and someone here for everyone to dislike, too.

Original Message From: Roach, Stephen To: H Cc: ValmoroU@state.gov Sent: Wed Jul 08 10:45:51 2009 Subject: Re: Back in DC Dear Secretary Clinton, Your assistant, Lona Valmoro, and I have been exchanging emails on trying to find a time to meet in Washington on July 30. I am hopeful something can be worked out. In the meantime, I wanted to take you up on your offer below and provide you with a few thoughts on China prior to the upcoming SED on July 27-28. I send you this note from Beijing (midway through a four-day visit) via Blackberry -- so apologies for any typos. 1. Mounting signs of social instability have intensified China's growth imperatives. Beijing insiders are very concerned about the Xinjiang uprising; Hu Jintao's pre-G-8 exit validates those concerns. Coming on the heels of last year's problems in Tibet, social instability can no longer be dismissed as an isolated occurrence. In both cases, my sources claim growth shortfalls have exacerbated ethnic disturbances. China's recent fiscal stimulus -- especially infrastructure initiatives in the West -- attempts to address this. Growth has long been modern China's antidote to the risks of social instability. 2. A massive external demand shock dilutes the growth antidote that China needs to contain social instability. In fact, the global recession adds a new risk factor to China's social instability equation. The government has confirmed reports of over 20 million layoffs of migrant workers in export-intensive Guangdong Province -- a direct outgrowth of the collapse of Chinese exports over the past year (from growth of +25% in mid-2008 to a contraction of -25% in May 2009). Driven by a record capitulation of the American consumer -- real US consumption down by -1.8% over the past four quarters (a 58-year record plunge) -- China's biggest source of end-market export demand has been hit with an extraordinary shock. To the extent there is more to come on this count -- and that remains my best guess, although with a less dramatic US consumption adjustment than we saw over the past year -- external demand pressures will continue to undermine China's growth imperatives and feed heightened concerns over social instability. 3. China's stimulus package is a "quick fix" that can only exacerbate its already worrisome structural imbalances. The focus of the stimulus is on its two most unbalanced sectors -- fixed investment and exports, which collectively account for about 80% of Chinese GDP. Fully 72% of the RMB4 trillion fiscal initiative announced last November goes to infrastructure. And there are aggressive incentives directed at exporters (i.e., tax rebates, "buy China" procurement incentives, SME credit support, etc.). Moreover, there has been a huge push of State-directed bank lending -- the fullyear 2009 lending target was hit in mid-April! This latter initiative underscores the risks of deteriorating loan quality and associated banking problems down the road. Meanwhile, despite public claims to the contrary, very little has been done to stimulate the one sector in China that needs it the most -- internal private consumption. Social safety net efforts are still puny -- the recent healthcare plan translates into US$30 per person for three years and the National Social Security Fund only has enough assets to provide about $90 of lifetime social security benefits per worker! This forces fear-driven -- or precautionary -- saving that, in turn, inhibits the consumer-led impetus a Chinese rebalancing urgently needs. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758986 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758986 Date: 06/30/2015 4. All this points to an asymmetrical global rebalancing -- a very worrisome prognosis for a post-crisis world. Despite all if our problems, the US is actually tempering its greatest macro imbalance -- excess consumption. At the same time, China is unfortunately upping the ante on its two most unbalanced sectors -- investment and exports. Sadly, this could set up a still unbalanced global economy for another serious accident in the not-so-distant future. Sorry to have rambled so much. There is a good deal more to each of the points above -- but wanted to give you the highlights ahead of the SED. Good luck with that -- and with all else that seems to be going on around the world. Hope to see you on the 30th. Best regards, Stephen S.

I'm looking forward to seeing you when you're in DC and I'm copying my assistant, Lona Valmoro, so she can work w you to schedule a visit. Your timing is impeccable since I will be co-chairing w Tim Geithner the first Strategic and Economic Dialogue w the Chinese on July 27-28 in DC.

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.

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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758986 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758986 Date: 06/30/2015 milestones that must be hit to validate the hopes and dreams of the "Asia Century." I have asked the publisher (Wiley) to send you an advance copy of the manuscript in the hope you or your staff might find it of interest.

July 14, 2009 Netanyahu's Speech for Peace: Is Anyone Listening? By Lanny J.

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 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 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....

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. Let's hope - and pray - that he is right. Lanny J. Davis, a Washington lawyer and former special counsel to President Clinton, served as a member of President George W.

Thursday, July 16, 2009 3:03 PM Mills, Cheryl D Speech/Middle East HRC: Back this morning from Asia. Congratulations on the speech. I think it came out great. And the reaction I have heard today has been very positive. Let raise an idea about how you could present the arrangement on settlements that you are seeking with Israel as I understand it, i.e. a moratorium coupled with allowances to complete a number of housing units. There are two ways: 1. To describe it as an agreement, explaining why the US has accepted an Israeli completion of a handful of units whose construction already has begun. This raises some concerns. It would represent U.S. legitimization of some (however small) Israeli activity in the West Bank and it would trigger Arab and Palestinian complaints that we had compromised, sowing doubts about our effectiveness. 2. The alternative would be for the administration to say: a. We have come a very long way, as Israel has made unprecedented commitments to the U.S. in terms of a settlements freeze. This is a very welcome development. b. We did not achieve all that we had hoped as Israel intends to complete a number of housing units. We have differences with the Israeli government on this matter which we have expressed to them.. •c. That said, we are convinced that substantial progress has been made that warrants an immediate resumption of peace talks as well as Arab steps toward Israel that will help promote a two-state solution. This latter option retains our credibility, does not compromise our oft-stated position and allows us to move forward. Of course, I am around if you want to discuss. Good luck in India. They are very excited about your visit.

In both areas, President Barack Obama's positions are radically different from his predecessor's. Unlike George W. Bush, Mr Obama understands the need for a rulesbased international system that will regulate and reduce levels of greenhouse gas emissions and nuclear weaponry. In particular, Mr Bush, like the Republican-controlled US Senate of the late 1990s, opposed the Kyoto protocol on climate change and the ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). He also had little use for the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), even though it was largely an American initiative going back to the dawn of the cold war. Those Bush policies suited many Indians. In their view, a global regime to restrict carbon emissions could hinder India's growth, while the CTBT and the NPT blocked 265 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763800 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763800 Date: 06/30/2015 their right to develop the nuclear-weapons capability their government demonstrated when it conducted a series of tests in 1998. Under Mr Bush, the US and India negotiated a pact on co-operation in civil nuclear power that will, when the details of its implementation are worked out, grant India an exemption from the terms of the NPT. Mr Obama, however, is committed to ratifying the CTBT, strengthening the NPT, and pursuing other treaties to prevent the spread of dangerous material and technology. He also intends for the US to be part of the international effort to replace the Kyoto protocol with a treaty-based climate-control regime including India, China and other emerging powers. As a result, on both proliferation and climate change, many Indians regard Mr Bush with nostalgia and Mr Obama with muted apprehension. Mrs Clinton, however, is seen as a staunch friend of India. Her trip there as first lady in 1995 helped break the ice in US-Indian relations after 50 years of estrangement, paving the way for President Bill Clinton's visit in 2000. She is therefore in an ideal position to deliver a message in New Delhi that is both reassuring and cautionary. The US administration knows it cannot coax or bully India into formally joining the NPT, nor will it renege on the civil nuclear deal it inherited from Mr Bush. At the same time, Washington policymakers hope that India's Congress party-led government, now that it has been returned to power with an increased mandate, will join the US in tightening the verification authorities of the International Atomic Energy Agency, accelerating negotiations to stop the production of fissile material (the stuff at the core of nuclear warheads) and bringing the CTBT into force. These steps would make India's region safer, since Pakistan might follow suit in a positive direction, just as it did in a negative one when it conducted a nuclear test shortly after India's in 1998. A similar appeal to self-interest might prevail with respect to climate change. Since much of India's population lives in rural and coastal areas, it is acutely vulnerable to the devastation of agricultural lands and rising sea levels that come with global warming. Key figures in India are beginning to accept the idea of a global compact on climate change. However, they are focused on the 12-to-1 disparity between the average American's carbon footprint and the average Indian's. Therefore they want progress towards parity in the final agreement. If the US achieves the 80 per cent cut in emissions by 2050 that Mr Obama supports, the gap between the US and Indian footprints per capita would shrink dramatically. Indians (like many Americans) need to be persuaded to see the urgency of prompt action. There are few voices more persuasive than that of the Indian scientist R. K. Pachauri, the head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change who shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore. He believes that the world has about six years 266 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763800 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763800 Date: 06/30/2015 to impose drastic and effective reductions on greenhouse gases.

Original Message From: Jeffrey L Farrow To: H Sent: Fri Jul 10 18:36:45 2009 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.

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.

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.

"but Africa got one anyway." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j8RYJFZuXpCg_LY2peUQNwQx5SagD9A289D00 Preaching reform, Clinton wins African hearts By DONNA BRYSON (AP) –1 hour ago JOHANNESBURG — In Liberia, Hillary Clinton brought out the crowds despite torrential rain. In Congo, she came away deeply shaken from a meeting with rape victims. Kenya's prime minister said Africa didn't need lectures from the West about democracy, but Africa got one anyway. At home, the U.S. secretary of state's visit may have been overshadowed by the aftermath of her husband's mission to North Korea to bring home two imprisoned U.S. journalists. But on her seven-nation Africa tour, ending Friday with a stopover in the West African island republic of Cape Verde, she made one splash after another. Coupled with Barack Obama's visit last month, the two trips to Africa were the earliest into an administration by any secretary of state or president, underlining Washington's pledges to pay more attention to the continent. In the U.S., the headline-making moment of the trip was her testy response to a question about Bill Clinton. But in Africa, it quickly became a footnote. What people wanted to hear was support for democracy, clean government and ending its many civil wars. Clinton's ambitious itinerary resembled those of China's foreign minister, who makes extensive annual tours of his country's allies on the continent. But where China tends to sidestep the issues of corruption democracy, Clinton confronted them head-on. Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, speaking hours before Clinton arrived, said Africa did not need to be lectured about democracy. After they met, she did just that. "The absence of strong and effective democratic institutions has permitted UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759145 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759145 Date: 06/30/2015 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."

"There will be a positive impact" from Clinton's trip, she said. "But somewhere along the way, we do need to see ... what's going to come to keep the momentum going."

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. #4# 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. C05759247 Date: 06/30/2015 [RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: H Saturday, August 15, 2009 9:08 PM 'ValmoroU@state.gov'; Huma Abedin Africa Bureau I should visit to thank them Mon or Tues.

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.

I'll make the argument directly in the early morning mtg tomorrow, but I'd like her to see this first. AM UNCLASSIFIED FOR THE SECRETARY FROM: Anne-Marie Slaughter Moving Forward on Honduras SUBJECT: I got lots of signals last week that we are losing ground in Latin America every day the Honduras crisis continues; high level people from both the business and the NGO community say that even our friends are beginning to think we are not really committed to the norm of constitutional democracy we have worked so hard to build over the last 20 year. The current stalemate favors the status quo; the de facto regime has every incentive to run out the clock as long as they think we will have to accept any post-election government You played an important leadership role at the outset of the crisis; I urge you to think about taking bold action now to breathe new life into the process and signal that regardless what happens on the Hill, you and the president are serious.

So I wanted to give you a heads up this weekend. We need to strengthen both the carrots and the sticks in this process. Re the de factos, we should find that coup was a "military coup" under U.S. law and revoke the visas of more de facto regime members. We should also go after the visas of a few prominent de facto supporters in Honduras's business community, signaling that we'll widen this net if negotiations fail. We should also make noises about prohibiting U.S. companies from.doing business with companies controlled the de factos, though we have to be careful about the impact on Honduran institutions. CABLE FROM AMB. Llorens, SENT YESTERDAY MORNING. AIL: I received a call from Arias late last night. He seemed to be recovering well from the flu but was at his home resting. I briefed him on how I saw the situation in Honduras. I stressed the importance of a successful visit by the OAS FMs. I agreed M's recent public comments again suggesting that Insulza was not welcomed were unhelpful. I noted that somewhat better was the statement made by the Corrales delegation yesterday at a press conference in Toncontin Airport upon returning from DC reaffirming that Insulza was expected to be with the delegation. I told Arias the importance of arranging a substantive schedule for the FMs w regime, civil society, business, and religious leaders as well as pro-Zelaya social sector supporters. I also stressed the importance of giving these folks a fair hearing but also that it was critical that the FMs explain the international community's expectations and strong hope that both sides return quickly to San Jose and reach and sign a final agreement. Arias concurred that that was also his expectation. He expressed concern that the regime may be seeking to stall and delay. He said the regime delegation did not seemed fully committed to reaching a deal and seemed focused on tinkering with the political amnesty question. Arias believes that the core regime supporters in the business community were still strongly resisting an agreement. He suggested that the US needed to increase the pressure on these folks and consider taking away their visas and possibly freeze their bank accounts. I said I would pass on his suggestion. I said we were reaching out to people in Honduras and urging the importance of a succesful FMs meeting as a prelude to a final agreement. I said I would also speak to Corrales and get him focused on having the regime prepared for the FMs with creative and concrete ways of bolstering the enforcement aspects of a final deal. Arias thanked our support and we agreed to speak again over the weekend.

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

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.

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.

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."

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.

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

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

Rep. Steve Rothman (D-111) and Senator Lautenberg have contacted us alarmed by the news that Qaddafi will come to UNGA and allegedly overnight at the residence of the Libyan PermRep in Englewood. Rothman has called our office directly and threatened holy war and Fox news "if the State Department allows this." A few minutes ago we also got a letter from Sen. Lautenberg to the Secretary expressing similar concerns. The anger is of course over the "hero's welcome" for Megrahi. An action memo for Jim to consider on how to deal with Qaddafi's visit is in the works, but I fear Rothman will head for the microphones before Jim gets the memo. Mike AMBASSADOR MICHAEL C.

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.

Purpose of Call: To underscore the importance we place on a the Royal Thai Government's successful appeal of the court decision rejecting the extradition of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout to the United States and the importance of his continued detention pending the outcome of the appeal. Background: On August 11, 2009, a Thai judge denied a U.S. extradition request of accused arms smuggler Viktor Bout (pron: BOOT) to face trial in New York for conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals and officers; acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles; and provide material support to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The Thai Attorney General's Office will appeal the ruling. FM Kasit has been a strong ally on Burma and released a forward-leaning Chairman's statement on behalf of ASEAN following ASSK's conviction.

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.

B6 Pis read the following. I've followed this case B5 Torture on homefront cries out for justice Comments August 26, 2009 BY CAROL MARIN 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.

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.

Moammar Quaddafi, will not be staying in Englewood, New Jersey if he comes to the United States for the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly next month. This information has not yet been confirmed by the White House or the State Department. "I am very pleased that Moammar Quaddafi will apparently not be coming to Englewood. His appearance would have presented unnecessary safety and security issues for the residents of Englewood and the Libyan diplomats," said Rothman. I want to thank President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the literally dozens of their appointees I have had the pleasure to work so closely with over the past seven days in achieving this result. I also want to thank the Libyan government for their hard work and consideration in resolving this matter in such a positive fashion."

The 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760490 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760490 Date: 06/30/2015 American military and intelligence officials say they suspect that Pakistan has modified the Harpoon antiship missiles that the United States sold the country in the 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.

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."

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.

(The estimated cost is an initial $500 million, with an additional $700 million a year in expenses.) Defense is insisting it does not have money to transfer to State for this purpose, and the idea of a Supplemental is problematic, not the least because the timing would not coincide with the transfer of responsibilities. Jack is concerned that we will look like we are holding up the transfer.

Rich thinks DeMint is prepared to let Valenzuela go forward, but would like to speak to Jim Steinberg regarding Honduras. He will insist on a debate and roll call vote for Tom Shannon. DeMint apparently warned, however, that any "substantive change" in our current policy vis-à-vis Honduras would jeopardize both nominations.

Hurricane Jimena I noted that Hurricane Jimena is expected to make landfall in Baja early tomorrow morning as a powerful Category 4 or 5 Hurricane. Embassy Mexico City and Consulate General Tijuana have issued warden messages and Consular Affairs has put out a travel alert advising citizens to avoid the areas likely to be hit. Many hotels in the path of the storm have been largely evacuated, but there are still many Americans who could be affected. The Ops Center is in close touch with our missions in Mexico to monitor conditions. Public Affairs RI anticipates questions about Iran's alleged willingness to restart talks and whether the Secretary will meet with Zelaya. Deputies Meeting Highlights Sri Lanka The War Crimes Office said that the report to the Hill on alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka is due by September 21. They have prepared a 60-page draft which is now circulating for clearance. The report covers the period up to May, but Jack encouraged the Office to consider including later material if it would be helpful. Pakistani Internally Displaced Persons Eric Schwartz said that the Op-ed in today's post by Morton Abramowitz criticizing the U.S. and Pakistan for allegedly forcing the return of IDPs into Swat and other areas is simply not true.

The goal is to have something to present to Deputies in six weeks. Brazilian Oil Development David Goldwyn said that Brazil's proposed regulations for developing its vast offshore petroleum reserves were disappointing. Brazil seems to have opted for a nationalist model that will substantially delay bringing on line the most promising non-OPEC source of oil in years. H1N1 OES reported that the Administration will release its report on H1N1 in the Southern Hemisphere today. The analysis of the virus in several developed countries in the region suggests that it has not mutated and that the vaccine being developed should be effective.

Best, H Original Message From: Strobe Talbott To: H2 Sent: Mon Aug 31 21:30:23 2009 Subject: Devin and I wandered into a corner of the health care debate on Saturday in the Post.... Counseling That Helps the Dying Live By Devin Talbott and Strobe Talbott Saturday, August 29, 2009 Many opponents of health-care reform have concentrated their fire on a provision in House legislation that would provide for government reimbursement to doctors who offer end-of-life counseling. How our society deals with those confronting death is understandably controversial. Unfortunately, the debate has degenerated into a cacophony of demagoguery and distortion, including invocations of Hitler and fear-mongering about "death panels." As a result of these attacks, a number of senators who are key to determining what bill will emerge from Congress have abandoned support for end-of-life counseling. Our family's experience this year provided a vivid perspective on the value of that service and the misguidedness of the campaign against it. Brooke Shearer -- wife, mother and grandmother -- had been fighting cancer for more than a year. She had undergone major surgery, numerous scans and biopsies, and two debilitating courses of chemotherapy. Her doctors were among the best in their fields. Their expertise did not, however, extend to the fine points of, and latest advances in, pain management. Brooke was determined to maintain the highest possible quality of her own life and that of her family for whatever time we had together. With that goal in mind, she sought advice and treatment from palliative-care specialists at Washington Home and Community Hospices. Their ingenuity and skill in adjusting her medications significantly alleviated her discomfort in her final months. Working closely with her primary physicians, the hospice staff helped Brooke anticipate the likely course of her disease in a way that allowed her to make decisions and exercise a degree of control over both her own condition and our family's adjustment to it. When her oncologist concluded that chemotherapy was not working, Brooke put herself fully into the hands of Washington Home as an outpatient. Regular house calls by hospice doctors, nurses and social workers enabled her to stay active on professional projects, spend time with friends and family, and end her life at home, which was a considerable comfort to her and to us. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759543 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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 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. Mike AMBASSADOR MICHAEL C.

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

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 IMMEDIATE RELEASE DELOITTE & TOUCHE TOPS BUSINESSWEEK'S ANNUAL LIST OF "BEST PLACES TO LAUNCH A CAREER" New York, New York, September 3, 2009— The big four accounting firms once again dominate BusinessWeek's fourth annual ranking of the "Best Places to Launch a Career." Deloitte & Touche jumped to the No.1 spot, unseating Ernst & Young who ranked No.2. PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG took the third and fourth spot, respectively. 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 $65,000—plus 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 competition—combined with a handful of new employers and shifts in sentiment among students and career services directors—resulted 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.

Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 12:36 PM To: Day Piercy Subject: Chicago Tribune story Congresswoman's son-in-law dies snorkeling August 12, 2009 4:29 PM I UPDATED STORY The son-in-law of U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-III.) died Sunday in a snorkeling accident as he vacationed in Mexico with his family, her office and family said. Michael McLaughlin, 38, was with Schakowsky and other family members near Tulum, Mexico, at the beginning of a week long vacation, Schakowsky's husband Robert Creamer said. McLaughlin was married to Lauren, 35, who is the daughter of Schakowsky's husband and his previous wife Day Piercy, who lives in New York. McLaughlin was a filmmaker and editor who lived with his wife in Queens, N.Y. Creamer said he and other family members were in their hotel near Solinon Bay when another guest with binoculars told them there appeared to be a problem with McLaughlin, who was snorkeling in the bay about 7 miles north of Tul urn. Creamer was the first to reach McLaughlin in a kayak. He said he found his son-in-law face down in the water, and called out to him but got no response. Creamer said he got closer, turned his son-in-law over and realized he was in trouble. He administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and put a life vest on him, Creamer said. "I yelled at him and poked at him and got no response, so I turned him over and it was clear he wasn't breathing," said Creamer. McLaughlin's wife then showed up along with Schakowsky and others in more kayaks to help put McLaughlin on a kayak in the nearly 7-feet of water. Others also arrived in more kayaks to assist and pulled the craft carrying McLaughlin onto the beach where they continued to try to revive him unsuccessfully. McLaughlin was pronounced dead at a local hospital a short time later, Creamer said. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759603 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759603 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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.

The Queens Chronicle reported last week that SL Green/Hard Rock made a presentation on Thursday. "Hard Rock is the right balance," [Pres/CEO Marc] Holliday said. "Its recognized brand and quality entertainment will attract younger and older players across the stratum. People flying in from JFK will say, 'I hear there's a Hard Rock, I want to see it." One of this group's big pitches is that they'll be the first to generate a revenue stream ("shovel-ready, in the ground, the day after the award.") And thanks to the reader who alerted us to this article in Crain's which, more importantly than comprising yet another virtual press release for Steve Wynn, contains, towards the bottom, a handy pocket guide to the six bidders, the financial portion of their bids (or at least what is known about them), and the ups and downs of their proposals. This is a tough call; handicapping without the Form as I said before. I can't say I have a favorite; neither a particular personal preference, nor a clue as to the most likely winner. But I'll give it a shot and take the Crain's piece one step further by coming up with a morning line. Aqueduct Entertainment Group . But, as mentioned by Crain's, they were passed over in favor of Delaware North the first time around. Aqueduct Gaming (6-1), Buffalo-based Delaware North's group, has rallied late with a stepped-up publicity effort and a major community initiative after appearing indifferent early on (though it's original $100 million upfront offer remains intact with an additional $200 million to follow). The addition of Harrah's adds an experienced operator and an interesting cross-marketing twist which is probably not allowed under the nowdisappeared MOU. And, like the two bidders above, Aqueduct Gaming has been reported to have reached accommodations with the unions. So I listed them as the third choice on these merits. However, a part of me wants to list them as the rank outsider - I'd be pretty damn shocked if the state goes back to the company which dropped out after failing to raise the money last time. And, as I've mentioned several times, given the reports of an investigation by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo into lobbyist Patricia Lynch's dealings with the Assembly Speaker, I don't know if her involvement here is going to help or hurt. Steve Wynn (8-1) has offered $300 million, but he was the only bidder of the six contenders to receive a bad grade from the hotel unions as UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759646 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759646 Date: 06/30/2015 reported by Jim Odato in the Times Union last week. Whatsmore, the scale of his building proposal is laughably ridiculous, and it wouldn't be ready until 2011. He'd be the favorite if the decision is based on the number of newspaper and online articles each bidder has been featured in. But, quite simply, he sometimes comes off as a nut . Penn National (12-1) might be worth a ducat at long odds. No local connection here makes them a dark horse. But a $250 million bid (as reported elsewhere though not in the Crain's piece) puts them in the ballgame, and the company is an experienced gaming operator with a solid balance sheet which would probably do as competent a job as anyone else. R. Donahue Peebles/MGM Mirage (20-1) didn't increase its $150 million bid, and doesn't have a lobbyist; good luck with that. Whatsmore, no local flavor and MGM Mirage has had some well-publicized financial woes (though things have been looking up of late ). Would be a major surprise.

To: CDM Fr: Caitlin Re: Branch Book Overview: There are few surprises in this book. The "surprises" that might exist are buried and took a close reading to pick up on— the two main ones are about the terror clause of WJC's crime bill and why he hadn't disclosed information about Lewinsky (because he hadn't wanted to become a witness against her). There are a lot of things that have been covered in My Life and other publications. Quite honestly the book was pretty boring and much more focused on Branch than I had anticipated. While not as "and this day, and the next day" as My Life, it does share many of the same elements that would engage only a true Clinton fanatic or historian. The fact that there appears to be no index also makes it difficult for anyone looking for a quick hit to get one. Furthermore, 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 Administration—Middle 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 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 with "assassins." There are candid looks at WIC's take on certain people and the relationship between some, such as Albright and Berger's dislike of Holbrooke, and a more detailed depiction of Yeltsin's drinking, such as yelling outside of Blair House for a cab to get pizza. One thing to note, is that often times WJC seems to be speaking to Branch intentionally without the recorders going, but Branch writes about those interactions and exchanges nonetheless. Such is the case with HRC's Gephardt comment. The following items are addressed in the memo: Wen Ho Lee and Terror Clause of Crime Bill WJC and Lewinsky's Silence 4 4 HRC and Kissinger HRC and gay/lesbian 4 5 Tension with Moynihan 5 HRC as World Player 5 Jesse Jackson 6 Tension with Janet Reno 6 Portrayal of Carter Relationship with Gore 8 Other (This includes: Maggie recommending Panetta, HRC and Haiti Invasion, ITAV co-author flap, Subpoenas of CVC's Friends, Vernon Jordan on Extramarital Sex, Gore/HRC ticket, WJC suggesting Rubin run for Senate, Trip to South Asia) 11 Wen Ho Lee and Terror Clause of Crime Bill In discussing Wen Ho Lee's release Branch characterizes WJC's lack of knowledge about the strained interpretation of the anti-terrorist provisions in the crime bill and arbitrary detentions as a "confession." My Life only mentions Lee's accusation in passing and does not again discuss Lee. Below are two passages from Branch's book the first giving context and the second about the Terror Clause of the Crime Bill. 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 defendant—no bail, lockdown, solitary confinement—even though the long dragnet had produced no evidence that he offered secrets to China or anyone else. The president said experts were telling him the worst spies sometimes stored their treason for a rainy day. This sounded fishy to me. Clinton shrugged. Nothing would please him more than to establish Lee's innocence. [Branch, 577] While Lee was indicted, Branch writes that WJC noted that others "were being held in secret, uncharged and untried...He [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] 0 WJC and Lewinsky's Silence Branch writes that part of WJC's motive for not discussing what had happened with Lewinsky was that it could send her to jail, as she had denied it. "Also, he pointed out that Starr had been threatening to jail Lewinsky all year over her sworn denial of the affair. If Clinton had come forward with anything at all about their relationship, he said Starr could have turned him into a witness against Lewinsky, betraying her discreet silence. Such subtleties, while original, struck me as tendentious. The president never claimed chivalry as the real motive for his steadfast denial, nor did he dispute the essential truth of 0 Lewinsky's account." [Branch, 511] HRC and Kissinger The following could be fodder for people who want to continue to string along the notion of channeling Eleanor Roosevelt. 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] 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 HRC and gay/lesbian 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] Tension with Moynihan There are several occasions throughout the book that Branch recalls WJC's grievances and frustration with Moynihan. For example: 0 When Moynihan called for the international arms embargo to be unilaterally lifted so that Bosnia could fight for themselves, Branch writes, "The president flinched when I mentioned [it]...'That's just a freebie for him,' snapped Clinton, 'and he knows it." [p.140] 0 In regard to health care: "Echoing comments by Hillary at dinner, he [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] HRC as World Player There are several images as HRC as a player on the world stage, both with WJC and on her own. Several examples follow: 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 Middle East: Discussing peace with King Hussein: "They had retreated for lunch as two couples—the Clintons, with the king and his wife, Queen Noor—in the family dining room...Their agenda was a delicate race between Hussein's failing health and his desire to make peace with Israel. The president said he and Hillary pounded away on symptoms of national estrangement: closed boarders, water disputes, travel barriers, war grievances, contested airspace, sealed electrical grids, and so on. Hussein gave them a feast of goodwill without commitment on any point." [Branch, 170] 0 South Asia: Regarding her trip to South Asia with CVC in 1995, "Her [HRC's] schedule was far more demanding than ceremonial, pushing both conflict resolution and civic empowerment for downtrodden women." [Branch, 236] Later Branch tells of Benazir Bhutto praising CVC and HRC. "By contrast with a superficial American press, which portrayed Hillary as a demure tourist of no policy significance in exotic Asia, Bhutto said she had touched essential political chords with whirlwind encouragements for citizenship groups and small-scale economic development." (The note contrasting Bhutto corresponds to a NYT article which Branch quotes in the footer saying, "she [HRC] played the traditional role of First Lady as wife and mother...") [Branch, 246] 0 China Speech: Branch outlines how HRC felt the speech needed to be bigger than China and how she depicted the "harsh reality everywhere" from China to Africa. He then cites WJC commenting on the rave reviews of HRC's speech. [Branch, 289] 0 Regarding the Russian financial system meltdown, Branch writes "Yeltsin seemed so removed from urgent political tasks that both Clintons counseled him directly." [Branch, 512-513] Jesse Jackson Branch writes about Jesse Jackson calling CVC after the Lewinsky story broke and having continued contact with her throughout the period. WJC thanks him for his support of CVC. This goes into some detail about WJCs gratitude, but the fact that Jackson "counseled" CVC has been public knowledge dating back to at least 1999. 0 "But now Jesse had done something he would not forget. When the Lewinsky news broke, he called Chelsea at Stanford. Jesse was the only nonfamily adult with her cell phone number. How he got it was another story. Jesse said he knew this was terrible for her. Nothing like it had ever happened in American politics. He did not know everything involved, but he wanted to remind Chelsea how much her parents loved her. Their family needed to stick together now above all, and if she needed to counsel, rage, or pray, he was always available." [Branch, 497] Tension with Janet Reno 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 Throughout the book, from his nomination of her, WJC is portrayed as having no opinion to having a negative opinion of Janet Reno. 0 "He complained about Janet Reno—made it clear, in fact, that he felt alienated from his own attorney general. If he removed her, however, the pending decision on yet another special prosecutor [for 1996 campaign finance] would fall to Reno's deputy, Jamie Gorelick, who, Clinton feared, may share Reno's wholesale devotion to outside control for any case in which the president himself may become a target...lf he removed both Reno and Gorelick, to start fresh, it would touch off a firestorm of protest like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre of the Justice Department officials during the Watergate scandal. That was not an option." [Branch, 388-389] 0 Branch writes about WJC talking about Reno and Louis Freeh disregarding a letter from D'Amato and continuing to allow independent counsel to go after Ciseneros. The same held true for Mike Espy. Branch then outlines a meeting between WJC and Reno. Reno had made public statements about her "desire to stay on the job. 'I told her I didn't like that one damn bit,' the president said tersely. 'I didn't hire her to work for the New York Times and Washington Post. I hired her to work for me." [Branch, 398] He continues to outline that Clinton did give Reno credit for some good achievements including coordination with U.S. attorneys and that he didn't blame her for the special prosecutor on Whitewater, but that "he did blame her for abdicating responsibility to supervise the investigations ever since, letting mandates multiply almost at will. She accepted criteria that were ludicrous and crassly partisan. Reno had failed to defend the presidency itself—not Clinton personally, but the institution—and by extension the entire executive branch...He told me she had no clue what he meant. His advisers considered her more naïve than upright, and the fuzziness of the distinction seemed to save her." [Branch, 399] He cites that Clinton warned her that she should prepare herself for not staying in the job for the entire second term. Portrayal of Jimmy Carter 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 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] Dispatch of Bombers Near Iraq 0 "He expected military strikes to win bipartisan assent, including former presidents Ford, Reagan and Bush. 'Dole will support me,' he said. 'Carter will probably criticize me. Carter always criticizes, but he doesn't have much positive to say." [Branch, 518] Gore For the majority of the book, there is little discussion of WJC and Gore's relationship. There are few places where he is briefly mentioned and a couple of scenes with some levity. The end, however, describes the seemingly brutally candid conversation between the two about the 2000 election and the impeachment. 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 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 platform—where he stood, precisely how and where he would lead the country—because the Republicans would try to knock him off substance." [Branch, 554] 0 WJC offered critiques of Gore's campaign throughout, but it was always framed as his fear of Gore not succeeding him. For example, "Clinton still thought Gore could win. Most people considered him smart, experience, and motivated. He examined the pitfalls for Gore in a campaign showcasing presidential character over detailed agendas for the country. Reporters called Gore "stiff," but Clinton discounted this liability. He thought Gore's droll sense of humor would wear well over time. Gore also was perceived to be too conventional a Democrat, therefore lacking independence, which called for Gore to emphasize more his own passion and initiatives. Then the president said Gore could have a brooding quality about him, not worrisome or off-putting in itself, but potentially damaging if his serious nature failed to give voters a lifted. Clinton isolated the word "sunny." Gore needed more of it." [Branch, 599] 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 before—that 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 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 proper—he was best in the White House. Then he says, "I think you made a mistake not to use me more in the last ten days," Clinton told Gore, 'but otherwise that was not a big deal. I was much more upset about your message, now that we're being honest." [Branch, 642] Branch recalls WJC saying Gore fought bag saying that "Clinton's drag plagued every direction." Clinton then said that Gore was better at governance than Clinton, and Gore would be better for the nation than Bush, and that he was an "unparalleled" vice president, but that he had "blind spots." Branch writes that WJC kept saying their confrontation was "surreal." o Gore had a "fresh grievance...he wanted Clinton to know that the Buddhist temple fund-raising scandal had been the worst experience of his life. No one had ever questioned his personal integrity, but corrosive publicity and whispers had tormented him now for four years. Gore said he had not been disposed to blame Clinton. However, he remembered telling the president that he found himself the only English-speaking person at one of those Asian fund-raisers. And the president was in charge of the party apparatus that was supposed to screen all the donations for trouble. So he did blame Clinton in a way. The president told me he could scarcely believe the ensuing tales of suspicion. Gore must still be in shock from the election, or unhinged. 'I thought he was in Neverland,' he said." [Branch, 643-644] o Branch continues: "The vice president asked Clinton about Monica Lewinsky. He had supported Clinton all through the impeachment, publicly and privately, while declaring himself disappointed. Yes, said the president. He appreciated that. However, persisted Gore, Clinton did not confide any personal feelings. He never explained exactly what happened. There was little to say, Clinton replied, beyond failure and regret. He was humiliated and angry, had made mistake. He had misled the American people, and he was sorry. Gore closed his point with emphasis. Well, he said, this is the first time you have apologized to me personally. Clinton did a double take...Gore treated the confession as a watershed. Their colliding perspectives made both of them angry. Clinton exploded that Gore's reaction was phony. What was so significant here?...Gore exploded back. He was feeling a stubborn repeat of the defensiveness and delayed honesty that somehow cost the election. Clinton's character was at the root of it..." [Branch, 644-45] Other 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.

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

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

Its attached and pasted below for your review. Thanks Dan A New Approach for Missile Defense By Hillary Clinton Iran's development of short- and medium-range ballistic missiles poses a clear and growing threat to the security of our European allies and our own forces stationed in the region. That is why President Obama announced yesterday that the United States is ready to deploy missile defenses in Europe specifically geared toward stopping these missiles. This is a threat we cannot ignore. Previous missile defense efforts have focused on protecting against intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States, but our intelligence now shows that the threat from these long-range weapons has not progressed as quickly as had been feared. In contrast, evidence indicates that Iran is developing short- and medium- range missiles that will eventually enable it to target most of Europe, the Caucuses and the Middle East, including U.S. and NATO forces. We deeply appreciate the willingness of the Czech and Polish Governments to host the original missile defense architecture on their soil, and the decision to deploy other systems to better meet this growing threat came as a result of a long and careful review of our policies, capabilities, and requirements. This decision does not alter the unshakeable commitment of the United States to the security of these vital NATO allies. Rather, it reflects our determination to jointly meet the threats that endanger us all. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759705 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759705 Date: 06/30/2015 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. 728 words UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759705 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759707 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: H Wednesday, September 16, 2009 11:30 PM 'ValmoroU@state.gov'; Huma Abedin Saturday Could I leave earlier on Sat--btw 8-9am since the mtg is Fri night?

I apologize for the short notice. Best, Jennifer 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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-à-vis the Iranian threat. But it is because they have more than enough fights with the Republicans without further energizing the right wing by trying to reinstate the principles of the ABM treaty. Yet sooner or later the US administration will have to grasp the nettle of regulating strategic defences. Otherwise, continued reductions in strategic nuclear offences will be either impossible or, worse, dangerous. The author is president of the Brookings Institution.

High-lighted section of the report refers to me without naming name but giving her usual description of me. See if you can find a way to clear her mind of all the terrifying thoughts she has about me. I invite you to be a peace-maker! Otherwise it will become explosive for nothing.

Yunus Prime Mnister Hasina Warns The Daily Star, Dhaka, September 17, 2009 Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday alerted the countrymen to the ongoing conspiracy of 'special quarter' and 'undemocratic forces' who are still plotting to wipe out democracy and grab the seat in power after being failed to capture it. The prime minister, however, urged the Leader of the Opposition and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and her allies to return to parliament for raising their voices. Recalling her experience as the opposition leader, Hasina said, "We used to walk out from parliament sessions, boycott it but we used to return to UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759784 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759784 Date: 06/30/2015 the House again." Meanwhile, the parliament session was adjourned till 4:00pm on October 4. Sheikh Hasina, also ruling Awami League (AL) president, urged people to keep vigil against recurrence of incidents like BDR mutiny to reverse the democratic strides. She also urged the people not to be misguided by any 'false campaign.' "While running the government and doing development works, we find continued obstacles in every step from the 'special quarter', benefited by undemocratic government, who earlier had captured power through undemocratic means, So, I urge the countrymen to be cautious so that the democratic trend continues," she told the parliament. 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.

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.

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.

I think we should reference the crisis in the speech and perhaps discuss what we are doing to address – although it's mostly just providing emergency food assistance. Best, Matt Somalia faces worst food crisis in 18 years: UN (AFP) – 1 day ago ROME — Drought, conflict and displacement are causing the worst humanitarian crisis in war-torn Somalia in 18 years, the UN food agency warned on Monday. Some 3.6 million people, about half the Somali population, need emergency aid including 1.3 million people displaced by fighting in the Horn of Africa country, the Food and Agriculture Organisation said in a statement. Around 1.4 million Somali farmers face a severe drought, while some 655,000 poor urban dwellers face high prices for basic food staples, the FAO said. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis have fled their homes over the past three years of violence involving hardline Islamist movements and many more in total over the country's 18 years of almost uninterrupted civil chaos. Hunger also stalks other countries in east Africa and the Horn of Africa region, the UN agency said. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759795 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759795 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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.

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 have demonstrated how the public can play an effective role in allocating money to needy people . 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 Chinese company will buy a 70 percent share of the whole project, according to an agreement signed Sunday in Lausanne, Switzerland between CNPC and NIOC's overseas investment subsidiary, Naftiran Intertrade Company (NICO) that covers a 90 percent stake in the project. A likely explanation would be that this deal has been long in the making. Still, Tehran's motivation for releasing this information in English at this time is worth considering. The whole story from an English-language Iranian outlet is pasted in below, and I found three Chinese-language sources with corroborating reports (nothing in English from China, though): http://business.sohu.com/20090929/n267094148.shtml http://money.163.com/09/0929/14/5KCSKN5F002524SO.html http://finance.sina.com.cn/world/gjjj/20090929/18566807524.shtml Jackie Press TV Iran, China sign a major oilfield deal Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:05:09 GMT China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) has signed a contract with National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) for the development of Iran's South Azadegan oilfield.

The 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.

Pasted below is Levin's speech on troops in Afghanistan. We'll have a copy for you as well. Afghan speech below FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 11, 2009 Contact: Senator Levin's Office Phone: 202.224.6221 Senate Floor Speech - Surge the Afghan Army Remarks as prepared for delivery Today we mark a solemn anniversary. Eight years ago this morning, our nation was attacked by terrorist extremists motivated by hatred and bent on destruction. It is always appropriate to remember the shock of that day, the innocent lives lost, and the efforts our nation has made since that day to ensure that Afghanistan, the nation that hosted those terrorists, cannot again become a safe haven for terrorists seeking to attack us. But today is an especially appropriate occasion to take stock of those efforts, and consider how best to continue them. I recently returned from a trip to Afghanistan, where I was joined by my colleagues Senators Jack Reed and Ted Kaufman. The situation in Afghanistan is serious. Security has deteriorated. But if we take the right steps, we can ensure that Afghanistan does not revert to a Taliban-friendly government that could once again provide a safe haven for al Qaeda to terrorize us and the world. The Obama administration's new strategy, focusing on securing the Afghan population's safety and partnering with the Afghan security forces in that effort, is an important start at reversing the situation in Afghanistan. The change in strategy has led our forces, in the words of General McChrystal's Counterinsurgency Guidance, to "live, eat and train together [with the Afghan security forces], plan and operate together, depend on one another, and hold each other accountable....and treat them as equal partners in success." The Guidance goes on to say that the success of the Afghan security forces "is our goal." • UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759468 Date: 06/30/2015 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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759468 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759468 Date: 06/30/2015 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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759468 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05759468 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

This is very helpful. Original Message From: Berger, Samuel R To: H Cc: Berger, Samuel R. Sent: Sat Oct 03 23:54:07 2009 Subject: HRC: I wasn't satisfied by my answer to your question about how to gain leverage over the Pakistanis to move them to more aggressively pursue AQ. I've thought about it some more and, while I have no silver bullet, here are some further thoughts. -- My impression is that the Pakistanis have been more cooperative lately in assisting us target some AQ in Pakistan and that, where they hold back, it is less a function of affinity toward AQ and more about with whom AQ is imbedded.. -- In particular, they seem to be more reluctant to target AQ where it is nestled with groups they want to cultivate in the event we "leave" Afghanistan and they need influence there. They have seen that before and will hedge their bets. -- So the first point is that we have to address the reason why they are holding back. If we can disabuse them of the perception that we are leaving Afghanistan, it will be easier to get the Pakistanis to go after AQ in sanctuaries provided by groups which would be part of a future Afghanistan dominated by the Taliban. -- Second, I believe that coercive measures are more likely to be effective if they are targeted against military leaders who give support to AQ and its allies. Assuming we have adequate intelligence, we can go after bank accounts, travel and other reachable assets of individual Pakistani officers, raising the stakes for those supporting the militants without creating an inordinate backlash. Blunter measures of coercion, like conditioning our assistance, are more likely to be counterproductive. Given the level of distrust for us among the Pakistani people, they would see this as another sharp swing of the U.S. pendulum which would harden their attitudes and make greater cooperation very difficult for the Pakistani people to accept. -- There may be greater leverage in giving the Pakistanis incentives to be more aggressive. Of course, the military's calculation is most important. I'm not sure what is on their shopping list these days but we would need to balance what would move the needle on AQ against undercutting our effort to get them to shift their strategic focus away from India.. At the same time, we can be as forward leaning as possible in support of their counterinsurgency capabilities (equipment, training, whatever material, intelligence and other assistance we can give them if they move into Wazeristan -- including relief for displaced persons). If they finally take that step, we can do all that is possible to demonstrate that our arrows are aligned with theirs.. -- On the civilian side, their desire for greater control over how Kerry-Lugar money can be used can be played to our strategic advantage. If we give them a greater sense that they are directing the use of these funds -- without greatly undercutting their effectiveness -- it strengthens our position to press them on AQ. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760082 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760082 Date: 06/30/2015 -- 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.

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. We are making DVD's to give to posts 2. Working on distributing to bloggers for continued use 3.

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.

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.

Afghanistan. And why?" I was recruited by the AFT' s international department to support the Afghan Teacher Education Department's RPM (Rapid Production of Materials) activity in which two dozen curriculum experts wrote teacher training materials for classroom teachers. The other two members of the AFT team, Betty Harris (ABC California) and Amber Prentice (St. Paul), arrived in late August The RPM took place daily over a period of five weeks at the Sayyed Jumalladin Teacher Training College in Kabul. Twenty Afghan educators were organized into three groups, each responsible for completing the training manuals for one grade level (4-6, 7-9 and 10-12). For each subject at each grade level, a module of five 90-minute training sessions was created. This activity was part of the ongoing USAID program aimed at providing in-service training to all Afghan teachers across eleven provinces of the country. My primary assignment was to review an English translation of sessions as they were produced and to make technical edits which facilitated the flow and focus without losing the voice and intent of the Afghan authors. The site staff included three translators and three Provincial Monitoring Officers (PMO's) who had been diverted from training in the field in order to work on the RPM. The PMO's played an important role in facilitating the whole project and in helping the AFT team to positively influence the process. They were knowledgeable about pedagogical theories, teacher training, and the needs of teachers in the field. We had regular daily conversations about teacher and trainer needs and how to meet them. The PMO's then shared these ideas with the RPM groups. Before sessions were translated into English for my review, the PMO's also reviewed, edited and discussed the material with the drafting groups. This nuanced intervention by the PMO's substantially improved the quality of the initial drafts. In addition to editing, I was encouraged to monitor the drafting work and interact with RPM participants. It soon became clear that Afghan teachers in the field needed low-prep, lowresource ideas for encouraging active student learning. I made several short presentations to the whole group on low resource teaching tools, such as two sheets of paper folded over into a foursection flipbook. This becomes a handy organizer of information for students and teachers alike. The PMO's helped to connect the ideas in my presentations to the specific interests of the audience. The AFT team's experience as working teachers and professional developers was valuable in facilitating the RPM at several key points. For example, we were able to apply our experience in coordinating the activities and output of large groups of teachers. We created graphic organizers which listed all the modules/sessions to be produced so that each stage of production could be monitored easily. This helped the groups to establish and maintain a pace of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760205 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760205 Date: 06/30/2015 Afghanistan Education Support July — August 2009 Nicholas Norman AFT Consultant 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760205 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760205 Date: 06/30/2015 Afghanistan Education Support July — August 2009 Nicholas Norman AFT Consultant Collaboration with Creative Associates I was profoundly impressed by the qualities of the local Afghan staff who work with the U.S. contractor Creative Associates. They are serious people. In particular, the three Provincial Monitoring Officers who worked on the RPM project demonstrated real depth of knowledge about pedagogy, understanding of effective practices of professional development, and familiarity with conditions in the field which are likely to influence the effectiveness of the RPM training materials. The ancillary staff (translators and typists) were sometimes inconsistent in their attendance and in the volume of their work. However, they always cheerfully helped with presentations and facilitated interactions with non-English speakers. Comments 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 half days a week. The workday generally ran from 8:30 to about 3:30. We seldom moved from UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760205 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760205 Date: 06/30/2015 Afghanistan Education Support July — August 2009 Nicholas Norman AFT Consultant 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; UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760205 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760205 Date: 06/30/2015 Afghanistan Education Support July — August 2009 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Nicholas Norman 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.

Original Message From: Mark J. Penn < To: H Sent: Thu Oct 08 03:26:41 2009 Subject: Troops 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.

Patrick Cockburn, of the London Independent, is one of the best informed on-the-ground journalists. He was almost always correct on Iraq. Sid Patrick Cockburn: To say this war must be won in a year is nonsense http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/patrick-cockburn-to-say-this-war-must-be-won-in-a-year-isnonsense-1799296.html Thursday, 8 October 2009 sponsored links: Eight years ago I was standing on a hill 50 miles north of Kabul watching the flashes in the night sky as the US air strikes started again st the Taliban front line. There were a few ineffective puffs of fire from Taliban anti-aircraft guns which could do nothing against the bombs and missiles raining down on them. It was a strange war to cover, not least because so little real fighting took place. The reputation of the Afghan fighting man is partly based on agilely joining the winning side at the right moment. In the meantime they don't fight too hard for anybody and try to avoid getting killed. The US and British press mostly reported the war of 2001 as a real military conflict and rather missed the point that the Taliban had just gone home. I remember visiting the former headquarters of a Taliban armoured brigade in the city of Ghazni south west of Kabul. The tanks and armoured vehicles had all been smashed to pieces by American bombs, but when I asked local people how many men the Taliban had lost, I was told "none at all. They could see what was going to happen so they just ran away." Just as the US military victory of 2001 was overstated, so eight years later is the sense of military crisis which is being busily stoked by Gen Stanley A McChrystal, the top US and NATO commander in Afghanistan. In Washington military officials are quoted as saying that the war will be won or lost in the next twelve months. 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.

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.

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.

By Andrew Alderson, Chief Reporter Published: 2:51PM BST 10 Oct 2009 Fears are growing over the health of Gordon Brown after Downing Street revealed the Prime Minister has visited hospital for tests on his eyes. Gordon Brown lost the sight in one eye in a childhood rugby injury Photo: PA Mr Brown visited Moorfields in London, one of the world's best-known eye hospitals, after surgeons found two small tears in his retina. The disclosure comes just two weeks after Labour Party chiefs were angry with the BBC because Andrew Marr, the presenter, questioned the Prime Minister about his health, including his eyesight, during an interview. Related Articles UK economy ready to bounce back, says Brown Gordon Brown's health: blogger behind rumours BBC stuns Brown with question on pill taking UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760210 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760210 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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 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.

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

Best, Maura From: Barks-Ruggles, Erica J To: Connelly, Maura Cc: Bakshi, Amar; Blair, Oni K; Goldberger, Thomas H; Bass, Warren Sent: Sat Oct 17 15:40:52 2009 Subject: A request for Monday 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?

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

Sid CONFIDENTIAL October 27, 2009 For: Hillary From: Sid 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 him—not 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.

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.

Sid CONFIDENTIAL October 31, 2009 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Cameron Blowup in Europe Without passing "Go," David Cameron has seriously damaged his relations. with the European leaders. Sending a letter to Czech leader 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: Guardian Europe leaders incensed by David Cameron's letter Sarkozy, Merkel and Zapatero criticise Tories for attempt to delay treaty Nicholas Watt and Ian Traynor guardian.co.uk , Friday 30 October 2009 22.21 GMT Leaders of three of the most powerful countries in Europe have strongly criticised David Cameron at the EU summit over Conservative plans to scupper the Lisbon treaty. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761367 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761367 Date: 06/30/2015 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 and Spain 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."

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.

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 Original Message From: Nancy Parrish To: H Sent: Fri Oct 30 10:49:00 2009 Subject: Advisory committee status and recommendations 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.

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.

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.

Theme 2 — Economic Reform / The Impact of the Financial Crisis on the Economics of the BMENA Region Sustainable progress requires opening spaces for innovation and creativity, particularly for young people and women. Expanding opportunities for entrepreneurs is key to addressing job creation, supporting economic development, and furthering civic engagement. By assisting the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through easing business regulations, enhancing transparency and accountability, and improving access to financing, countries foster economic growth and give society new sources of resilience. Additionally, educational systems need to be responsive to labor-market needs. The United States supports employment-focused approaches to education, as well as engagement with the private sector to tackle comprehensively the obstacles that hinder economic growth and development in the region. IV. Theme S— Social Development: A New Perspective on Human Security The United States supports sustainable development in all sectors of society. Women's empowerment — political, economic, social, and cultural — is a prerequisite for progress. Women across the region have been breaking silence around many controversial issues, from breast cancer to domestic violence. We applaud these efforts and will continue to support women who are working to raise the levels of education, health, rights, and opportunity in their countries. V. Closing Session Concluding remarks will be delivered by the 2009 civil-society co-partners, the Moroccan Organization for Human Rights and Italy's No Peace Without Justice. Canada, as the next G8 president and Forum co-host in 2010, and the next BMENA co-host will discuss plans and priorities for the 2010 Forum. After Foreign Minister Frattini's closing remarks, Foreign Minister Fassi-Fihri will present the Chair's Summary. The summary is traditionally drafted by the regional co-chair and is not subject to negotiations, to avoid being bogged down in conflict.

Speaking to the Guardian, Pierre Lellouche, France's Europe minister, described as "pathetic" the Tories' EU plans announced today, warning they would not succeed "for a minute". Giving vent to frustration across the EU, which has so far only been expressed in private, Lellouche — who said he was reflecting Nicolas Sarkozy's "sadness and regret" — accused William Hague, the shadow foreign secretary, of a "bizarre autism" in their discussions. He said: "They have one line and they just repeat one line. It is a very bizarre sense of autism." Lellouche, one of the most Anglophile members of Sarkozy's government, made his remarkable intervention after David Cameron outlined a fresh Tory approach to the EU in the wake of the full ratification of the Lisbon treaty. A future Conservative government would seek to strengthen British sovereignty and repatriate a series of powers over social and employment legislation, the Tory leader said. Cameron said he was not seeking an immediate "bust-up" with the EU, and would allow the repatriation of powers negotiations to last as long as five years. But that position was not enough for the Tory MEP Daniel Hannan, who quit his role as the party's legal affairs spokesman in Europe, saying he intended to fight for referendums to enable Britain to become "self-governing". France's centre-right government condemned Cameron's plans, saying that they would marginalise Britain within the EU. Abandoning all diplomatic niceties, Lellouche said: "It's pathetic. It's just very sad to see Britain, so important in Europe, just cutting itself out from the rest and disappearing from the radar map .... This is a culture of opposition ... It is the result of a long period of opposition. I know they will come back, but I hope the trip will be short." He said Cameron's approach was in line with the Tories' decision to abandon the main centre-right EPP grouping in the European parliament, of which Sarkozy's UMP party is a member. "They are doing what they have done in the European parliament. They have essentially castrated your UK influence in the European parliament," he said. Lellouche said he has told Hague personally that his position was a "waste of time for all of us". "I have told William Hague: go away for two to three years, in your political economic situation you're going to be all by your self and you'll come back. Go ahead and do it. That is my message to them ... You want to be marginalised? Well, you go for it. But it's a waste of time for all of us," the French minister said. Lellouche made clear the Tories had no hope of securing support for their plans. "It's not going to happen for a minute. Nobody is going to indulge in rewriting [treaties for] many, many years. Nobody is going to play with the institutions again. It's going to be take it or leave it and they should be honest and say that," he said. "It is a time of tumultuous waters all around us. Wars, terrorism, proliferation, Afghanistan, energy with Russia, massive immigration, economic crisis. It is time when the destiny of Europe is being defined — whether or not we will exist as a third of the world's GDP capable of fighting it out on climateion trade, on every ... issue on the surface of the Earth. "We need to be united, otherwise we will be wiped out and marginalised. None of us can do it alone. Whether you're big or small, the lesson is the same. And [Britain's] risk is one of marginalisation. Irrelevance." He explained: "Finally we have institutional package, but it took 15 years of looking at our navel and getting everybody bored to death with sterile debate" In a sign of France's determination to resist the Tory plans to opt out of key EU legislation, Lellouche warned the French would attempt to reduce Britain's EU budget rebate which will be up for negotiation during the next parliament. He pointed out that France is a net EU contributor to the tune of €5bn (E4.5bn), unlike Britain which receives a rebate. "If we get a government that is ferociously anti European that will vote down this kind of legislation then I think the relationship is going to be very difficult. As we enter the next phase one of the issues we have to discuss midterm is of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760154 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760154 Date: 06/30/2015 course finances. France is a net contributor to the tune of €5bn a year, of which €1.5bn is the same as British rebate. 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.

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.

Mrs Clinton, whose first visit as secretary of state was to China, inherited a situation where the US was the only country other than Andorra that had failed to confirm its attendance at the Shanghai Expo - to the chagrin of the Chinese. America's absence from the fair, running from May to October, was the first issue to be raised by the Chinese when Mrs Clinton visited in February. "The Chinese were very upset," says Elizabeth Baghley, who heads Mrs Clinton's office for global partnerships. "When she came back from China she said: 'Whatever it takes, this matters to China and to US business and we are going to get this done'." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760164 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760164 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

"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 cliché 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 Lady–like 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."

"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.

Sid Sullivaral@state.gov CONFIDENTIAL November 5, 2009-11-05 For Hillary: From: Sid CC: Lissa 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 wall—the reason for its construction and the reason for its destruction—is central to our common history—and to our common future. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760179 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

It was not only a turning point for Germany and Europe but also for the United States because the wall—the reason for its construction and the reason for its destruction—is central to our common history—and 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760281 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760281 Date: 06/30/2015 undertake projects in Africa.

Original Message From: Abedin, Huma To: H Sent: Mon Nov 09 17:20:48 2009 Subject: Samual heyman November 09, 2009 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 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.

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.

I hesitate to pester you personally so if there is somebody I can work through to coordinate a time please let me know or have them drop me a note. My schedule is much more flexible than yours. 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 development assistance I would do only one thing: give all the money to the women and then sit back and watch them drive African economies forward.

Attack on BBC to follow. Sid That's quite the match--Murdochs v Mandelson. Original Message From: sbwhoeop To: H Sent: Thu Nov 12 08:51:40 2009 Subject: FYI: Murdoch makes his move to Cameron. Attack on BBC to follow. Sid The Independent November 12, 2009 Has Cameron done a deal with Murdoch? By Andy McSmith 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 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.

Safe travels. Below are my 2 cents worth on Berlin.... The Four Who Ended the Cold War Diplomacy , Europe Strobe Talbott , President, The Brookings Institution The Brookings Institution November 09, 2009 — 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 Kremlin—the Moscow or Leningrad party chiefs, for example—we'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 calm—and calming—air traffic controller, guiding an increasingly dispirited Gorbachev as he piloted the Soviet state in for a soft landing on the ash heap of history.

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.

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 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.

Who didn't vote? Original Message From: Rodriguez, Miguel E To: H Sent: Sat Nov 21 20:09:40 2009 Subject: Health Care Update This evening cloture was invoked on the motion to proceed to Majority Leader Reid's health care bill, 60 to 39. It was a straight party line vote. Despite some early concern over how they would vote, Senators Ben Nelson, Landrieu, and Lincoln voted with the caucus. Each has warned they're not a guaranteed "yes" vote on final passage. Senators voted from their seats, and Senator Dodd sat in the chair during the vote. The vote was followed by brief applause. Per the UC agreement negotiated by Reid and McConnell, this evening's cloture vote will also double as the vote on the underlying motion to proceed, meaning the Senate will recess after the vote and will be on the health care bill when it returns from the Thanksgiving recess. Original Message From: Rodriguez, Miguel E To: Mills, Cheryl D; Sullivan, Jacob J; Abedin, Huma Cc: Toiv, Nora F; Verma, Richard R Sent: Fri Nov 20 08:20:18 2009 Subject: Health Care Update 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760390 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760390 Date: 06/30/2015 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." ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760390 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760392 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Sent: To: Subject: H Sunday, November 22, 2009 6:24 AM 'cheryl.mills 'millscd@state.gov' Are you up?

Decline and fall, etc. Cheers, Sid CONFIDENTIAL November 26, 2009 For: Hillary From: Sid Re: Afghan/Western Alliance/UK 1. Happy Thanksgiving! 2. 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 Britain—center, right, left—is that the Atlantic alliance—the special relationship— the historic bond since World War II—is 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 everyone—everyonethinks. His clumsy outburst was a classic gaffe—an 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 terror—and British involvement—on trial—and 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 war—another 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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 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 Spectator—two 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. 4. On the Western alliance, beyond its military part, NATO, there is much more to say and develop, but later. Read three pieces below: 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 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 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 THE SPECTATOR A special form of disrespect Con Coughlin 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 Blair–Bush era, but to the togetherness of the soldiers on the ground. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 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. • Con Coughlin is the Daily Telegraph's executive foreign editor and author of Khomeini's Ghost: Iran since 1979 (Macmillan). • The Spectator, 22 Old Queen Street, London, SW1H 9HP.

All Rights Reserved 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 and Andrew Sparrow • guardian.co.uk , Thursday 26 November 2009 12.57 GMT The military timetable for an invasion of Iraq in 2003 did not give time for UN weapons inspectors in the country to do their job, the former British ambassador to Washington told the Iraq inquiry in London today. Sir Christopher Meyer said the "unforgiving nature" of the build-up after American forces had been told to prepare for war meant that "we found ourselves scrabbling for the smoking gun". He added: "It was another way of saying 'it's not that Saddam has to prove that he's innocent, we've now bloody well got to try and prove he's guilty.' And we – the Americans, the British – have never really recovered from that because of course there was no smoking gun." The US had first prepared for invasion in January but the date was later moved to March. "Ail that said, when you looked at the timetable for the inspections, it was impossible to see how [Hans] Biix [chief weapons inspector] could bring the process to a conclusion, for better or for worse, by March." Meyer said he had been in favour of removing Saddam. He thought you did not need 9/11 or weapons of mass destruction to justify confronting Iraq. Saddam had not lived up to the commitments given after the first Gulf war. He had "the means and the will" to build weapons even if he hid not have them at the time. Meyer said he did not know what made the UK fix "on a very large land force by our standards". He believed it would not have damaged Britain's standing in the US to have sent fewer troops to Iraq, but actively opposing the war would have done. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760453 Date: 06/30/2015 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 . 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."

I am making FM calls re Afghanistan which are going well and the memcons will describe the specific responses for our followup, especially in Athens and Brussels. 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 Britain—center, right, left—is that the Atlantic alliance—the special relationship—the historic bond since World War II—is 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 everyone—everyone—thinks. His clumsy outburst was a classic gaffe—an 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 terror—and British involvement—on trial—and 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 war—another 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 Spectator—two 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. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760455 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760455 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

Please let me know what you think: Statement by the Secretary On the Restoration of Democratic and Constitutional Order In Honduras November 27, 2009 The United States remains committed to help restore the democratic and constitutional order in Honduras in the wake of the June 28 coup d'etat that removed President Zelaya and led to the suspension of Honduras from the Organization of American States. As part of that effort, it is essential for both parties in Honduras to implement the measures they agreed to in the Tegucigalpa-San Jose Accord, including the formation of a government of unity and national reconciliation and the December 2 congressional vote on President Zelaya"s restitution. These are vital elements of the Tegucigalpa-San Jose Accord, and the Honduran people and the international community expect an expeditious determination. We look forward to the Congressional deliberations getting underway as announced. The November 29 national elections are another critical step in the restoration of the democratic and constitutional order in Honduras. The electoral process -- launched well before June 28 and involving legitimate candidates representing parties with longstanding democratic traditions from a broad ideological spectrum -- is conducted under the stewardship of the non-partisan Supreme Electoral Tribunal, which was also selected before the coup. The electoral renewal of presidential, congressional and mayoral mandates, enshrined in the Honduran constitution, is an inalienable expression of the sovereign will of the citizens of Honduras. We wish the Honduran people well as they choose their new leaders on Sunday, and we urge all sides to exercise their rights peacefully. The holding of a free, fair and transparent election is necessary but not sufficient for Honduras to reestablish the democratic and constitutional order. In order to help achieve that objective, we will continue, along with others in the region, to support the step-by-step implementation of the Tegucigalpa-San Jose Accord as a democratic way forward for the Honduran people. The president-elect who emerges from an election deemed free and fair will have a unique opportunity to promote that vital mission.

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.

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.

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 and Rajeev Syal The Observer , 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 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." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760498 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760498 Date: 06/30/2015 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 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 Saddarn 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 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. The Washington Post Afghanistan: The speech you'll miss By Jim Hoagland UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760498 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760498 Date: 06/30/2015 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. 1 want to accomplish three goals tonight without naming them. First, to let those know-it-alls, Generals Petraeus and McChrystal, know one more thing: This is the last big troop increase you get, so make it work. ! 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 addrtional 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. I will bet that Stan McChrystaI 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 !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.

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.

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 and Rajeev Syal The Observer , 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. 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 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 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 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. The Washington Post 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.

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).

From: Jacob Lew Cc: "vermarr@state.gov" , "sullivanjj@state.gov" , lewj@state.gov 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.

Original Message From: Jill Iscol To: H Sent: Thu Dec 10 22:22:32 2009 Subject: FW: Letter for Hillary from Tina Brown I am so sorry we didn't touch base today. I had a quick conversation with I am forwarding the letter from Tina Brown because I think this will be fabulous opportunity for you to showcase your ideas and also your long history of advocating on behalf of women around the world. As always, I defer to your and your staff's realities and judgment but did want you to know I am involved and hope you can make it. If not, I love you anyway! Let me what might work for us to chat. I described the possibilities to both in Rhinebeck. Hope you are well. As always, Jill December 10, 2009 Dear Madame Secretary, I am following up on the letter I sent to you on November 8, 2009 at the suggestion of Melanne Verveer. On March 12th and 13th, in New York City, 300 influential women from diverse countries and cultures will come together to illuminate the circumstances of their lives and to explore the still unfulfilled promise of women around the world. "Women in the World: Stories and Solutions," will be hosted by The Daily Beast, the United Nations Foundation, Vital Voices Global Partnership, and Diane von Furstenberg (and sponsored by Hewlett Packard who will bring their most creative digital support). We are delighted to announce that for our opening night on Friday, March 12, at the Hudson Theatre in Manhattan, we have an extraordinary event planned. The legendary Broadway director Julie Taymor has agreed to direct the Vital Voices play Seven, featuring acclaimed film and stage actresses. At the conclusion of this performance, we will host a panel conversation featuring their real-life counterparts: Hafsat Abiola, Farida Azizi, Anabella De Leon, Inez McCormack, Mukhtar Mai, Mu Sochua, and Marina Pisklakova-Parker. UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760483 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05760483 Date: 06/30/2015 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 Executive Vice President Ann Livemore, former Senior Adviser for Women's Empowerment Shirin Tahir-Kheli, CNN's Christiane Amanpour, former Homeland Security Advisor Frances Townsend, Actress Helen Mirren, Bank of America 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.

Also, I have not rec'd the speech draft. Should I have ? Original Message From: Sullivan, Jacobi To: H Sent: Thu Dec 10 22:06:12 2009 Subject: Guinea/Madagascar There are a number of different possibilities for how the decision on the Guinea/Madagascar credentials may go tomorrow. (It is Zambia and Tanzania bringing the challenge on behalf of the AU.) I was under the impression that we would not have to vote on the potential credentials challenges. We may have to. 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.

Here are a few comments and questions: We need to work in reference and quotes from POTUS Nobel speech near the top. I haven't read it yet so not sure 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.

Really worth reading. This Week in Copenhagen December 12, 2009 Editorial We didn't expect much from the first week of the global warming conference in Copenhagen. Countries need to do a little posturing before getting down to the hard work, which is supposed to start on Monday. But the belligerent talk from China seemed to go well beyond the usual positioning. • • 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.

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.

This Week in Copenhagen December 12, 2009 Editorial We didn't expect much from the first week of the global warming conference in Copenhagen. Countries need to do a little posturing before getting down to the hard work, which is supposed to start on Monday. But the belligerent talk from China seemed to go well beyond the usual positioning. 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."

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.

Sid CONFIDENTIAL December 15, 2009 For: Hillary From: Sid 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 victim—he 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 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. TIME Friday, Dec. 04, 2009 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." UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761507 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05761507 Date: 06/30/2015 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.) 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.) 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.") 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.

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 blogwhich 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.

Africa's Anti-Gay Laws Spark Accusations and Denials in US Nico Colombant I Washington 21 December 2009 Photo: AP Evangelical pastor Rick Warren, 23 Jun 2009 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762738 Date: 06/30/2015 B6 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.

"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.

Senator Reid's staff and Senator Lautenberg would like the letter below sent to his office today.

Thanks, and I'm at my desk if she wants to discuss it further. Rich Dear Senator Lautenberg, 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.

Senator Reid's staff and Senator Lautenberg would like the letter below sent to his office today. Upon receipt of the letter, we are told Senator Lautenberg will lift his hold on the GSP and ATPDA trade legislation. I know the Secretary would prefer to wait until there is a final decision in Brazil, but it is still unclear when that decision will come (may not even be today) and we have drafted the letter so that it still makes sense regardless of how and when the court rules. Thanks, and I'm at my desk if she wants to discuss it further. Rich Dear Senator Lautenberg, UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762816 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762816 Date: 06/30/2015 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.

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. What remains unclear: • 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.

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.

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.

I was in the room As recriminations fly post-Copenhagen, one writer offers a fly-on-the-wall account of how talks failed Mark Lynas guardian.co.ul«http://www.guardian.co.uk> , Tuesday 22 December 2009 19.54 GMT 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 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 look 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 singiy 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". Sudan behaves at the talks as a puppet of China; one of a number of countries that relieves the Chinese delegation of having to fight its battles in open sessions. It was a perfect stitch-up. China gutted the deal behind the scenes, and then left its proxies to savage it in public. Here's what actually went on late last Friday night, as heads of state from two dozen countries met behind closed doors. - Obama was at the table for several hours, sitting between Gordon Brown and the Ethiopian prime minister, IVIeles Zenawi. The Danish prime minister chaired, and on his right sat Ban Ki-moon, secretary-general of the UN. Probably only about 50 or 60 people, including the heads of state, were in the room. I was attached to one of the delegations, whose head of state was also present for most of the time. What I saw was profoundly shocking. The Chinese premier, Wen Jinbao, did not deign to attend the meetings personally, instead sending a second-tier official in the country's foreign ministry to sit opposite Obama himself. The diplomatic snub was obvious and brutal, as was the practical implication: several times during the session, the world's most powerful heads of state were forced to wait around as the Chinese delegate went off to make telephone calls to his "superiors". Shifting the blame To those who would blame Obama and rich countries in general, know this: it was China's representative who insisted that industrialised country targets, previously agreed as an 80% cut by 2050, be taken out of the deal. "Why can't we UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762860 Date: 06/30/2015 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 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.

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.

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 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".

It was a perfect stitch-up. China gutted the deal behind the scenes, and then left its proxies to savage it in public. Here's what actually went on late last Friday night, as heads of state from two dozen countries met behind closed doors. Obama was at the table for several hours, sitting between Gordon Brown and the Ethiopian prime minister, Meles Zenawi. The Danish prime minister chaired, and on his right sat Ban Ki-moon, secretary-general of the UN. Probably only about 50 or 60 people, including the heads of state, were in the room. I was attached to one of the delegations, whose head of state was also present for most of the time. What I saw was profoundly shocking. The Chinese premier, Wen Jinbao, did not deign to attend the meetings personally, instead sending a second-tier official in the country's foreign ministry to sit opposite Obama himself. The diplomatic snub was obvious and brutal, as was the practical implication: several times during the session, the world's most powerful heads of state were forced to wait around as the Chinese delegate went off to make telephone calls to his "superiors". Shifting the blame To those who would blame Obama and rich countries in general, know this: it was China's representative who insisted that industrialised country targets, previously agreed as an 80% cut by 2050, be taken out of the deal. "Why can't we 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 illouicality 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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, Patricia Lamego T.

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.

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. 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 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.

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, Patricia Lamego T.

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.

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. ### UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763225 Date: 06/30/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05763228 Date: 06/30/2015 RELEASE IN FULL From: Sent: To: Subject: H Tuesday, December 29, 2009 9:54 PM 'millscd@state.gov.

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.
