Subject: RE: URGENT REVISION NEEDED: - 10.10.17 - TPS Meeting - (Due Today 1600) We can comb through the country conditions to try to see what else there might be, but the basic problem is that it IS bad there all of the standard metrics. Our strongest argument for termination, we thought, is just that it is not bad in a way clearly linked to the initial disasters prompting the designations. We can work with RU to try to get more, and/or comb through the country conditions we have again looking for positive gems, but the conditions are what they are. Anyway, we are on our way and have cleared out our mornings to assist. Will do what we can!

We don't need them finalized, but in good shape for Dir Cissna before he meets with Sec. Duke at 4:30. The problem is that it reads as though we'd recommend an extension b/c we talk so much about how bad it is, but there?s not enough in there about positive steps that have been taken since its designation.

But she has decisions to make in the next three weeks about Honduras and Nicaragua. This briefing session needs to focus on those decisions, and it?s my understanding that USC would like for El Salvador to be considered also (even though that decision doesn?t need to be made for a couple of months).Policy and should work together to prepare briefing materials so that she can start thinking about those particular decisions and also, Haiti.
