We have previously addressed the Mayor of the City of El Paso on two separate occasions. We
promised to keep him updated. This particular meeting will in fact be unique, as we have been
scheduled into the City Council Agenda for today’s date. It is additionally the first opportunity we have
been afforded to make a presentation for the El Paso Mayor and all City Council members.
It should be interesting. The Mayor and several Council Members have publicly stated that they are
opponents of the Government’s fencing initiatives. We will forward you the AAR associated with this
event by the end of the week.
Regards,
Roy

The 15- to 18-foot-high, reinforced steel mesh fence is to start in the Ascarate Park area and go 56
miles along the Rio Grande to two miles east of the port of entry at Fort Hancock, said Doug Mosier,
the spokesman for Customs and Border Protection.
Irritated, Cook said that was more information than he had been able to get from the agency.
He said a briefing he was to have gotten about the project Monday from Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection officials fell through because “they didn’t have permission from Washington to tell us what
they were doing.”
Cook said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and CBP Commissioner Ralph Basham had both
assured him that the agency would seek input from communities “before any fencing decisions are
made.”
The fact that the press had received more information about the project than he had was, Cook said,
“pretty weird.”
Federal officials plan to brief City Council on the project and will be seeking the city’s OK today to cross
city land to a planned staging area for the project on International Boundary and Water Commission
property.
“Depending on what it is that they’re proposing to do, I could see some members of City Council
supporting a denial.”
The City Council meeting starts at 9 a.m. Tuesday on the second floor of City Hall at Durango and W.
Missouri. It will be broadcast and then replayed at 7 p.m. Tuesday on cable Channel 15.
