Paraguay I, loffered to donate 2000 shirts and 2000 pants.
• EI Salvador: Charge Butler called to relay GOES offer of forensic police/prosecutor specialists.

Mexican Army in Texas served 3,000 lunches and 4,720 dinners to evacuees today (per NORTHCOM); FEMA
provided substitute food as necessary; we put concerned (sanitation/food) San Antonio and usa officials in
contact with NORTHCOM and 5 th Army onthis issue; Mexicans expected to stay -20 days.

El Salvador may send troops for embedding with "sister" New Hampshire National Guard, which is currently
assisting with disaster relief. The Salvadoran troops' have trained with the NH Nat'l Guard before, have English
capability, and disaster relief experience. ~oD is currently assessing this possibility before offer formalized.

Ops Center received can from Consulate Guadalajara saying the governor of Jalisco may try to come to US on
Monday (no further info); we'd likely discourage/deny the trip if to/near affected areas.

@WHA
OPl would like our recommendation on Ambassadors to invite for the Hispanic Heritage Month event.
They have a list of latin American countries that offered relief assistance following the hurricanes. Daniel's
email says 4-5 Ambassadors but I have warned him we might feel that more Ambassadors should be
invited. That being said, please look at the list below and let me know what you think is most appropriate.
Also note that Daniel mentions factoring in support for Iraq into our decision, I leave that up to you if you
think that is a relevant deciding factor.

John/Jed
Please verify thatthe list of countries from State below is correct when compared to your list of foreign aid
contributions.

Thank you-
Katherine

Katherine: salow is a list of Latin American countries who have stepped up with relief assistance according
to State Dept. Any of these countries overlap with troops in Iraq maybe?
Please recommend 4-5 ambassadors from the listed countries to invite for the Hispanic Heritage event.
imagine Mexico should have one of those slots given their significant commitment.

Please advise ASAP.

Sir;

As discussed. Certainly looks like a mil-mil effort, albeit at the National Guard level
(but with SOUTHCOM funding). However, appears that there is a Brigadier General and a
Colonel among the 5 civil defense personnel invited to come to MS. Another question--do
they plan to bring the civil defense equipment listed?

I'll ask our Task Force PM folks to hold off on a clearance until we hear. back from you on

Subject: RE: TFUSOl: BOLIVIAN OFFERS OF ASSISTANCE

I received NORTHCOM's reply (found it as I was going through my e-mails from last night
and this morning) .

The 5 Bolivian civil Defense Officers invited by the Mississippi National Guard should be
worked through the Mississippi TAG (there is a poe in the message). There is some concern
about what kind of doctor Mr.l· lis.
If he is a PHD there is no problem, towever, I know there are some sensitivities about
state licensing, etc., if he is an MD.

Medicines, etc., offered should probably not be accepted (although that's not my call).
The generators and cots/sleeping bags should be reviewed and accepted by OFDA/FEMA before
they load them on the plane.

The other offers (mostly medical related), are not mil-to-mil and should be reviewed by
OFDA/FEMA.

Sir,

As discussed. Certainly looks like a mil-mil effort, albeit at the National Guard level
(but with SOUTHCOM funding); However, appears that there is a Brigadier General and a
Colonel among the 5 civil defense personnel invited to come to MS. Another question--do
they plan to bring the civil defense equipment listed?

I'll ask our Task Force PM folks to hold off on a clearance until we hear back from you on
this.

NORTHCOM (the Joint Task Force lead and the regional command to whom this area of responsibility belongs) has told

I'm the WHA action officer for TF1, and Ed Embry of WHAlPPC called me a little while ago to see whether we
were aware of donation officers from the Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister and the Brazilian Foreign
Minister. I just looked at the latest "SUMMARY OF FOREIGN ASSISTANCE RECEIVED OR
EXPECTED TO DATE" and note that there is nothing listed for these countries yet.

Liz - would you confirm that the Trinidad and Tobago PM has made the offer of two million dollars of
assistance sent to four different organizations (Habitat for Humanity, the Bush-Clinton fund, the Congressional
Black Caucas, and a fund set up by former LA Senator Breaux)? .

Jenny & Bill - would you confirm that.the Brazilian Foreign Minister has made an offer of an unspecified
amount of water and powdered milk?

Thanks.
