DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT CPA WILL BE REVIEWING THE DOCUMENTS? A: THE CPA HAS ASSISTED THE GOVERNING COUNCIL TO SET UP TH E COMMISSION ON PUBLIC INTEGRITY, AN IRAQI-RUN GOVERNMENTAL BODY WHICH WILL EFFECTIVELY ENFORCE EXISTING ANTI-CORRUPTION LAWS, PROPOSE ITI ONAL LEGISLATI ON AS NECESSARY AND HEIGHTEN THE I RAQI PEOPLE'S ,AND FOR HONEST LEADERSHIP.

THE CPA OIL FOR FOOD CO-ORDINATION CENTRE HAS NO MANDATE TO INVESTIGATE DIVERSIONS OF OIL FROM THE OLD UN OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAM. ITS ROLE IS TO ADMINISTER EXISTING CONTRACTS FOR IMPORTS OF FOOD AND OTHER GOODS, PAID FOR FROM OIL REVENUES ALREADY COLLECTED BEFORE THE CPA WAS ESTABLISHED. Q: WERE THE OIL BRIBES ILLEGAL UNDER THE OIL FOR FOOD PROGRAM? A: IF ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE, SADDAM'S BRIBERY DEPRIVED IRAQ OF OIL REVENUE WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED TO PAY FOR HUMANITARIAN SUPPLIES FOR THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ. BACKGROUND ON 28 JANUARY THE IRAQI NEWSPAPER AL MADA PUBLISHED A LIST OF 270 INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS ALLEGED TO HAVE RECEIVED MILLI ONS OF BARRELS OF OIL FROM SADDAM HUSSEIN IN RETURN FOR POLITICAL FAVORS.

HOWEVER, ALTANMIA WILL NOT UNDERTAKE SUCH A LARGE FINANCIAL COMMITMENT IF IRAQ ONLY NEEDS INCREASED FUEL SUPPLIES FOR THIS WINTER.

IT IS CLEAR FROM BOTH MEETINGS THAT ALTANMIA IS UNDER FIRM ORDERS FROM THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE GOK TO PROVIDE IRAQ WITH WHATEVER FUEL IT NEEDS. ALTHOUGH HTE VOLUMES AND TIME LINES FOR PROVISION OF THE SEVERAL FUELS SHIFT SLIGHTLY FROM ONE SCENARIO TO ANOTHER, THE INTENT IS CLEAR. THE OVERRIDING GOAL OF THE GOK IS TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO HYDROCARBON SHORTAGE IN IRAQ, AND THE GOK BELIEVES KUWAIT IS BEST POSITIONED TO EASE IRAQ'S FUEL CRISIS. HOWEVER, ALTANMIA NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT QUANTITIES OF EACH TYPE OF FUEL ARE NEEDED, AND FOR HOW LONG. ALTANMIA HAS ALREADY DEMONSTRATED ITS DETERMINATION TO MAKE THIS WORK -- FOR EXAMPLE, ALTANMIA HAS ABSORBED PENALTIES LEVIED BY THE KUWAIT PETROLEUM CORPORATION WHEN KBR DID NOT ORDER THE QUANTITIES OF FUEL IT HAD INDICATED IT WOULD. BUT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT CPA PROVIDE THE KUWAITIS WITH A CLEAR OUTLINE OF QUANTITIES AND TYPES OF FUEL THAT IRAQ NEEDS, AND AN ESTIMATE OF HOW LONG IRAQ WILL REQUIRE FUEL EXPORTED FROM KUWAITI, SO THAT THE KUWAITIS CAN INCREASE FUEL DELIVERIES.

(SES) Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 9:56AM To: (b )(6) SUbject: Deputy Ministers Kellogg Jr, Joseph (SES-6); Jones, Richard (AMB); (b )(6) All- The following is probably blindingly obvious to each of you, but perhaps the information can be useful to you, at least anecdotally. • ;lh• people themselves are patently ~d are apparently being placed in the Ministry for religious, political or personal reasons, all such influence we are trying to eliminate within the oil industry. • It is incomprehensible why Deputy Ministers have to be named at all because there is nothing for them to _92.: Also, there is no rationale to naming people to fill an organization before the organizational structure is decided. • The same people who IJ~~II through SjrJ~am'~ ~ and who brought it back to life after the liberation, as well as many trained professionals, are a sys ematically bejng pushed to the sidelines. This is just another step in that process. It appears that people with no refigious or geographiC identification will have no place in the structure. Besides these major problems, there are other pieces of information that are relevant. • People in the ministrv have onlv heard of three of the six. Only one of six worked in the oil industry before. • One nominee, worked as an economist for SOMO in the late '80s. He left in '91, never reached the level of supervisor and was considered ''very poor" by people that knew him. • Another, is a Kurd appointed earlier as an Advisor w/o portfolio to the Oil Ministry by GC Member Talibani. He has done nothing since that time. • Sahib Qotub is currently the Upstream Advisor in the Ministry and has been appointed as the Senior Deputy Minister. He has been retired since the first Gulf War, when he ran Kuwait Petroleum Company for Saddam during the time Kuwait was occupied. He is considered weak. • Although you have been consistent in saying that we in CPA cannot get involved in backing one person over another, the situation with Thamir Ghadbhan is unique in my mind. When there was no water, no lights, no police, no services, etc, it was Ghadbhan who stepped forward to achieve CPA's oil goals, unified the Oil Ministry and led them back to where they are now. Yesterday's action irritated and demotivated almost ail of the current DGs, particularly on Thamir's behalf. They know that since he is being treated that way, their own efforts over the months have been minimized and that those efforts are not valued as much 2/13/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000016 Page2of2 as cronyism and religious leanings. 1 do not have eny basis to defend Ghadbhan's character pre-liberation, but if people like Qotub were as close to Saddam as he apparently was, what basis is the GC using to select or eliminate candidates? • I would question how much of this GC, and how many of the ministers, will be in a permanent government. Why would we let what could be a temporary body put in place something that guarantees connectivity to them and which Is patently not even necessary at the present time? I appreciate that you don't like to have problems presented without recommendations. I don't pretend to know how to solve this one, but all else being equal, we should veto yesterday's nominations and Insist that the Minister of 0~ restructure his ministry prlol: to the right people (baSed on merit) being placed in the resulting organization. - .. . .. . ~- - . -::=.

(SES); • • -- SUbject: Borders Working Group - Recap and Next Meeting! All, To recap what we covered at our November 15 meeting: • Bilateral Relations Papers. The meeting noted that apart from CJTF7's contribution covering security, there had been no responses to note of 6 November asking for inputs for papers for each of Iraq's neighbours. MFA had been given sight of the skeleton paper and were keen to work up there own version for each country. It was agreed there would be another meeting of the drafting group on Wednesday 19 November, leading to a meeting with Ministry officials soon after Eid. Action: addressees of previous 6 November memo (attached) to provide contributions by close of play 19 November. • IGC Delegation to Syria, Turkey and Iran. This had been postponed until Monday and may skip Syria. It was agreed that it would be useful to work up a short paper for each of the countries visited to set out Iraq's key points for each neighbor. Action: Susan Johnson to ask each Ministry represented on the delegation to submit one or two key Points that the Minister would wish to make In each country visited to (b )(6) • Revision of Order 16. Many comments had been offered and the order was almost ready for submission to Amb Bremer. It was agreed that there would be one final circulation of the draft. Action: CPA MOl to circulate. It was agreed that we would need a plan to explain the order to the IGC (for agreement) and to foreign governments. This would be helped if a short commentary on the main features of the order (and the key changes from the orevious version) were drafted. Action: CPA MOl and General Counsel (b )(6) to draft commentary. • The Hajj. There was more or less acceptance that numbers should/would be limited to around Iraq's previous quota (24,000) and certainly no more than 30,000. MFA Minister Zubari would speak to the GC President Talabanl. It was now worth working up road and air travel transport plans on this basis. I propose that the CPA Hajj Support Committee meet on Thursday, Nov 20 at 1430 hours. Let me know if you cannot make it. With the exception of (b )(6) please consider yourselves all action addressees even if your name Is on the cc line!

I suggest that you do not copy further. As you know, Ambassador Bremer asked about strategies for an 'anti-corruption program (establishment of an Inspector General)' in his letter to all ministers dated November 27. He has received back a good deal of supportive comment from ministers and from senior advisors at their strategic planning interviews. Bremer thought that it would be a good idea to provide some further guidance to senior advisors. Robert Dawes has already given a couple of talks on the subject. Bremer asked me to circulate a note. He has In fact already seen this draft and has asked us to provide a template which would be forwarded to senior advisors for action in consultation with their ministers. We are now working on that. Pending the issue of a formal paper, you may find it helpful to see the attached draft note. If there are any queries or comments that you would like to raise at this stage, please contact Robert or me . ...

November 13.2003 6:10PM (b )(6) (b)(6) RE: SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCUREMENT PLAN A. Witness Protection The witness protection program is designed to relocate witnesses in high profile terrorism and related cases. The funding for this program contemplates both relocation costs and security arrangements for cases brought before the central criminal court as well as crimes against humanities cases. In order for the program to be properly executed advice will need to be obtained from the United States Marshal's Service which is responsible for the program in the united States and has provided technical assistance to other countries in establishing a witness protection program. The funds needed for this program must be handled in such a manner as to both ensure accountability of funds as well as preserve the identity of the protected witness. Expert advice from the Marshal's Service is needed in determining the manner in which the funds should be handled. CPA will contact the Marshal's Service in order to make these arrangements. B. Other Technical Means This refers to the use of electronic recording devices and other technical measures to preserve evidence of criminal activity for use in court. This procurement process needs to be executed in close cooperation with the Ministry of Interior {MOI) and United States law Enforcement and other coalition agencies with the needed expertise. According, MOJ will contact those agencies and the MOI in order to determine the appropriate specifications needed to solicit bids from vendors for the equipment and to ensure that the equipment is used for law enforcement purposes. -----Original Message----- From: (b)(2) Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 1:46 PM To: (b )(2) ,(b )(6) Subject: FW: SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCUREMENT PLAN Maybe one of these addresses will work. -----Orioinal Messaae----- From: (b )(6) Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 9:36 PM To: (b)(2) Subject: FW: SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCUREMENT PLAN Let me try this address as the other one did not go through. ·· ---- --Oriainal Messaae----- Frorn: (b )(6) Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 9:22 PM •ro: (b )(2) Subject: SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCUREMENT PLAN 1 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000021 ..

Thanks. - -----Original Message----- From: Nash David (SESJ Sent: Tuesday, November teel , Steven W. PM Subject: The recent signing of the United States legislation Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Defense and Reconstruction of Iraq by President Bush brings a much needed infusion of funds to our efforts in CPA. CPA must now deliver a financial plan to Congress to enable the apportionment of the funds. Here is the timeline for accomplishing that: * 14 Nov - Produce procurement schedule and list of grants * 20 Nov - Consolidated list of projects with first cut on who the execution agent will be * 30 Nov - Submit draft plan to Bremer * 10 Dec - Submit plan to OMB DC for apportionment and Congress for notification 1 Feb - Contract awards IIRO needs your help to succeed. We must build a procurement and execution plan for both construction and non-construction dollars. This plan must provide descriptions and locations of projects to be performed, estimated costs, when each project is needed (when must it be completed, thus when must it start to meet that deadline), to;hat must be procured and who should procure it, and when the procurement needs to occur. While we're preparing the plan we are authorized to obligate up to 20% of the total, so IIRO, in coordination with the ministries, must also establish priorities within each ministry and across CPA. Your input to the plan is critical to our success. We have broken non-construction dollars into two categories: things that have to be procured and things that don't, like salaries, grants, etc. Attachment A is our best guess at the breakout of these dollars. The Baker/Stanley Team, supporting the IIRO, has been working with your representatives to determine the detailed requirements for the 2 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000022 construction dollars . I have tasked Darrell Crawford to help CPA OMB do the same thing for non-construction money. Attachment B is what they need from you to accomplish that. Rodney Bent and I will be setting up a meeting soon to discuss with you our plans and our progress. Hopefully you will be able to joi n us as we move forward on this daunting but worthwhile task. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance. We look forward to working with you on this very worthwhile effort.

A lot of principals are out of the country for Christmas leave and I need to start working the detaDed requirements identification and definitization process required to prepare for the arrival of funds. So I'm sending it to a number of people In each office to ensure all who need to know (and help) get the word. Several weeks ago, you and your staff(s) pulled together the overall program descriptions for the IT,IOney about to be provided under the supplemental appropriation. This Information was forwarded to PMO oratfsheets. Darrell Crawford compiled the data, built a spreadsheet and forwarded the package to OMB.- C'Oiiiress will receive this data, along with a report being built by OMB on 5 January. Assuming all goes well, we will receive notice to proceed within a week. The next step is to tum these plans into goods and services that contribute to meeting our Objectives in Iraq. However, the necessary step towards this end is to tum the broad collection of plans and programs embodied in the PPA sheets into a series of procurement packages. I've taken the data in Darrell's spreadsheets, along with data provided by POCs within the ministries to break down the projects into a series of requirements. This breakdown, along with the projected costs of each requirement Is shown in the attached document "Rollup w lineitem detail". Ideally, the totality of these requirements would equal the total of the construction, non-construction procurement, and nor.,."?§liPf? nUtlfi i'lf listed alongside the project code. Additionally, the sum of construction costs, urgent, and non-urgent requirements would also balance with the amounts on the project line. At this point, the requirements breakdown as l understand it does not capture all the requirements of each project. Additionally, I do not have complete visibility on which of these requirements are "urgent" and which are non-urgent. My task is to reconcile all these figures such that they add up to $18.68. To do this I need your help, and that of your project officers to capture the totality (requirement, cost, delivery (urgent, non-urgent)) of each project in the supplemental. In any bureaucratic request for infonnation, one should always be able to answer- "What's in it for me?" In this 1/15/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000024 Page2 of2 ~·· case, the answer Is easy. PMO has overall program management responsibility for the supplemental. We are the intermediaries between your plans, the contracting agencies, and delivery of the goods and services required to implement your projects. Additionally, Admiral Nash has to be able to report to Ambassador Bremer, OSO, and the Congress on our plans and progress on how we're spending the taxpayer's money. In order to do this, I need Jhls information. Moving on to the implementation phase, we need to tum these requirements Into a series of packages that can be given to a contracting office who In turn will buy exactly what we tell them and send it on to Iraq. There's a lot of wot1t that needs be done to make sure what you want is what is delivered. 1M ese:•'"'_.,~H!d ' M In e 1~ &I ' sttu'AM. There are several activities that are necessary to move forward: a. Need to fully define the actual requirement. In many cases we,l need to coordinate contract action. We will need to develop sufficient data to allow contractors and suppliers to bid. If the procurement is highly technical, we,l need to identify a source of technical expertise to ensure that what we procure, is what you wanted. b. Establish key information required to properly manage the acquisition - For lnstanca when do you need the item delivered. This includes identifying submittal information requirements. One category of submittals would be for the design Information or catalog sheets needed from suppliers to allow a review prior to the item being fabricated or shipped . . .. c. Develop a government estimate of expected delivered cost. d. AU procurements using Supplemental funds are required to use "full and open competition". However, if there are reasons for requiring a particular source, we'll need to know that as well. ; e; We'll need to understand required delivery dates, as well as locations. In particular, our procurements need to tie in with overall project milestones. · f. ~~I receive a lot of scrutiny/auditing in this program. We'll need to understand the metrica of success, and to have a way of showing that the foods expended were utilized for the purpose originally described. 2. The ideal POC is someone who understands the original request, and will be available as a POC for the time It's expected to take to fmlsh the acquisition process. Understanding we have rapid turnover of staff, we'll ask that you Identify alternate POC's. I and. my vast staff (myself) are standing by to wot1t this problem and answer questions. Merry Christmas!

I know a major problem is the time it takes CPA staff to collect and send information: when one is there. many times it seems like it would be easier to do the whole thing oneself.

You said it in so many words, but the reason we have not entered into contracts longer than 30 days previously has been because we did not have funding for more than 30 days. We cannot contract for goods or services for which we do not have funds. How much money can be saved by longer contracts is not exactly known. Suppliers tell us that there can be substantial savings if we sign contracts for 4 months or more. Numbers thrown around have been on the order of 20-25%, but until we actually obtain bids and sign a contract we cannot be certain.

The MCI system that we currently use will be phased out. As such, we need to gather requirements and use this to negotiate a best-price contract with each of the three vendors. The first attachment provides the cost for these services. The second attachment is a fact sheet that will help you better understand what you need to know to complete the final two attachments. I have high lighted those lines which are pertinent to this task. Each ministry (Iraqi and Coalition Senior Advisory) needs to articulate their cell phone requirements using the two attached Excel Spreadsheets. Things to note as you go through this: • Your Iraqi Ministries must pay for this out of their budgets - theirs will not be funded/provided by CPA. This also means that Senior Advisors can not obtain CPA purchased / phones for their Iraqi ministries. Please ensure they understand this before they articulate· V their requirements. Costs are at the first attachment. • Because of the funding differences, we need two matrices from you.

The call will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1700 hrs and seeks to address the following issues: 1) What is the status of your individual Ministry's relationship with the Japanese? Areas of progress and delay? Any agreements that have been formalized? Etc. Four to six bullet points of a sentence or two would be perfect. 2) In addition, they have requested that we gather lists of equipment to be discussed during that call. The lists should reflect current and antidpated needs. Lists have already been submitted by a number of Ministries and, if that list is still current, please resubmit those lists bearing in mind the following criteria: • The lists should be for equipment only. • The lists should be focused toward "big ticket", "high visibility" items (vehicle lists have been particularly well- received thus far). • No military-related Items should be included. • Formatting for the lists is open, but should be kept as simplified as possible. Our apologies for burdening you with another request, but this is a joint USG- CPA effort to mobilize and focus the Japanese in implementing their assistance in your sectors. Please forward your lists to me no later than 1500 hrs tomorrow (Thurs. - 2/5) in order to pass then along to Washington for their review prior to the call.

The meeting noted that aoart from CJTF7's contribution covering security, there had been no responses to (b )(6) note of 6 11/21/2003 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000070 Page 3 of3 November asking for inputs for papers for each of Iraq's neighbours. MFA had been given sight of the skeleton paper and were keen to work up there own version for each country. It was agreed there would be another meeting of the drafting group on Wednesday 19 November, leading to a meeting with Ministry officials soon after Eid. Action: addressees of previous 8 November memo (attached) to provkM conb"ibutlons by close of play 19 November. • IGC Delegation to Svrla. Turkey and Iran. This had been postponed until Monday and may skip Syria. It was agreed that it would be useful to work up a short paper for each of the countries visited to set out Iraq's key points for each neighbor. Action: Susan Johnson to ask each Ministry represented on the delegation to submit one or tw~e Minister would wish to make In each country visited to~ • Revision of Order 16. Many comments had been offered and the order was almost ready for submission to Amb Bremer. It was agreed that there would be one final circulation of the draft. Action: CPA MOl to circulate. It was agreed that we would need a plan to explain the order to the IGC (for agreement) and to foreign governments. This would be helped If a short commentary on the main features of the order (and the key changes from the previous version) were drafted. Action: CPA MOl and General Counsel (Eric Pelofsky) to draft commentary. • The Haii. There was more or less acceptance that numbers should/would be limited to around Iraq's previous quota (24,000) and certainly no more than 30,000. MFA Minister Zubari would speak to the GC President Talabani. It was now worth working up road and air travel transport plans on this basis.

I worked as advisor to the Ministry of Environment(MoEN) until my departure from CPA on 09 JAN. I wanted to come by and see you before I left, but my schedule did not permit me time to fmd you in my final days. The MoEn was created 23 NOV by CPA order# 44. As a late starter, we didn't have may FPS guards handed down to us by the MSCs, so we are a bit different AJso, a5 we have developed the Ministry's facilities, we have only recently begun to need FPS. Tim Carney has a good wrap up of the history of FPS and the MoEN. The wrapup is contained as background info in recent Eviction Support Requests prepared to ask for CJTF -7 support for an eviction action at the new Ministry Headquarters on 15 JAN. Essentially, the MoEN hired 75 FPS guards directly from the Ministry of Interior's FPS training academy, starting 01 DEC. We are paying these FPS out of Ministry funds. We project that we will need a total of230 FPS guards nationwide, this includes about 150 for the governorates, 10 for each of 15 governorates. The other 80 will be in Baghdad. I was assured repeatedly by your predecessor,--that funds to pay these 230 FPS guards in FY 2004 would be put into the MoEN budget. This promise has been repeated by the staff at the Ministry of Finance, as recently as two weeks ago. I have also been assured that the 230 FPS are not subject to the hiring cap, so that we can hire them. The MoEN has a good Director of Security, (b )(6) (b )(6) Unfortunately, does not speak English. He is also a Grade 6, which means he makes about $180 a month. So he is just a good, reliable, Iraqi without a big budget, and you probably wi11 never meet him personally. What we need help with is uniforms for our FPS, weapons and equipment. We received an initial allocation of 18 AK-47s and 1000 rounds of ammunition. I have asked for 75 more AK-47s, and I have been told they are not available. The Ministry will purchase the weapons if necessary. I am also told there are funds in the supplemental budget to cover the purchase of the weapons. I coordinated my requests with BJ Turner and Tom Giboney. Our needs will remain until these requests are filled. The point of contact in the Senior Advisor's office for the MoEN is (b )(6) information out to the MoEN staff.

Below are highlights from the 18 Governorates and 4 Regions in Iraq, for Janwuy 30 -February 5, 2004: NORTH: • The "refreshing" process for the Diyala Provincia] Council is complete. The final council has 30 members, closely reflecting the political and ethnic demographic makeup of Diyala province. • The most senior KDP official killed in Arbil, Deputy PM Sami 'Abd al-Rahman, was buried in Dahuk on February 2. • Sharif Ali, cousin of the murdered King Faisal II oflraq, visited Mosul on January 28. • Deputy Secretary ofDefense Wolfowitz visited Ninewa February 1-2, visiting the new Stryker company. He also visited Kirkuk on February 2, meeting a cross-section of local community leaders. BAGHDAD: 2/10/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000078 Page 2 of3 • 2004 unfunded requirements for Baghdad Province's new democratic institutions are estimated at $6.7 million: building renovations (.75); office space and equipment (1.6), civil engineering equipment and facilities (3.9), communications and vehicles (.50). SOUTH CENTRAL: • In Diwaniyah, the official "seating" of Provincia) Council wilJ occur on February 8, and the election of the governor will occur on February 10. The process of refreshing the Provincial Council in Karbala is almost complete. The target date for the election of a new governor is February 1 S. SOUTH: • The new regional coordinator, Ambassador Nixon has arrived in post. • CPA-Basra is awaiting the details of the results of the recently completed Provincial Council refreshment. In An-Nasiriyah, local leaders are demanding election ofthe council. In Obi Qar, Muqtada a1 Sadr and Fudhala representatives organized a sizeable demonstration on January 28 calling for dissolution of the Provincial Council and new ration card elections instead of the current refreshment process. • The deputy chief of police was murdered this past week in An-Nasiriyah, possibly in revenge for alleged activities under the old regime. • Confusion continues regarding the 2004 budget and the rollover of balances from 2003. • There are still difficulties in meeting the quantities of many PDS commodities in Southern Region Governorates, especially for rice, oil, sugar, and tea in Dhi·Qar. A monthly coordination committee meeting with the Southern Region MOT state companies regarding PDS food rations distribution is addressing these problems.

It was to record a dissenting view that there is no supply problem in the city and it is only a manageable distribution problem. The problems and the solutions are multi faceted and complex. Many, many people are working on the supply aspect of this issue. Below are some of the recommended actions at the distribution level of the problem. AIM: More effectively manage the constantly changing distribution of the limited supply of gasoline in Baghdad. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: • Ask all parties (IGC, Ministry OF Oil (MoO), CPA, 1st AD) to recognize we will have a changing limited supply of gasoline available in Baghdad for at least the next month and we must move into a real time crisis mode to manage the distribution of that limited supply. • Immediately establish a JOINT Fuel Distribution Crises Management Team to operate at the Ministry of Oil Headquarters, Refinery and Tank Farms (1ST AD are setting up a crisis distribution team to work with the MoO but it will only be available for 48 hours, the Joint Fuel Distribution Crises Management Team is required on a permanent basis). • Members would be: o MoO Distribution, Supply, Storage, Production and Imports divisions; o A representative from the Senior Advisors office; o 1st AD representation; o Strategic Communications representation; o TFRIO;and o IPS. • Assignments o Constantly share the changing facts on time, amounts Jd locations of gasoline and diesel available for distri~ution in Baghdad. o Constantly decide where, when and how to distribute the limited supply based on facts fed in from distribution points and fed back to the distribution points. o Communicate the constantly changing distribution routes to the 1st AD to enable military escorts of re-supply trucks from tank farm to gas stations, to plug the smuggling holes. 12/20/2003 ----·-------------------- Page 2 of2 o Dispatch military escorts on the basis of wherever the Crises Management Team decides to send gasoline from a standby pool of escorts. o Continue to provide military presence and patrols by l st AD at the gas stations. o Insist MoO put either its Oil Police or some of its 5000 FPS on the gas station level distribution system to discipline the lines. o Strategic Communications jointly develop reoccurring 10/PR campaigns that reflect the constantly changing gas conditions in the city. • Establish a worst case scenario contingency plan for the crisis to include, in the next 24 hours, an analysis of: o A political decision to declare a national emergency, which could entail the military take over of the distribution system if required. o Analysis of the option of closing stations on a rotating basis to provide time to build up enough known stock to help manage the distribution. • Deciding when and who will take the political heat to increase the price of gasoline (CPA, IGC, IMF) to allow market forces to dampen hording, smuggling and black- market leaks in the current distribution system . ...

He would like to know precisely what that would do for us in dollar terms using a few historical examples. In other words, sabotage result in loss of ·x· revenues over ·x· repair time. With a rapid repair capability, we could have cut repair time to "Y" with lost revenues of "Y." We need to take into account (as best we can) the time to move people and equipment around. He would also like an estimate on how much sooner we can field this capability if we sole source. This Tasker needs to be coordinated with Finance.

As I briefly mentioned during the Senior Advisor meeting this morning, we are beginning a new project involving U.S. focal media. The objective is to interview you, your Minister and members of your team. We will then package it with supporting footage and send it to the Pentagon. There they will pitch it to your hometown/home- state TV stations. We did the first one today- Ministry of Health- and it went very well! The tum around time to send it to the U.S. is within 24 -48 hours. This is a great way to get the incredible work you and your Iraqi colleagues are doing back to the states. But, I need your help. We are looking at completing all of the Ministries within the next 10 days- 2 weeks. I will discuss scheduling at the next 7:30 a.m. Senior Advisor meeting. Rich Galen and I look forward to working with all of you on this project. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

I don't have any objection to this. However the chosen location is a crazy idea environmentally speaking. It is close to the cement factory, in an area too close to Najaf. Years ago, this area (cement factory) was far enough of the city, but right now it is almost in the gates of the city. We have right now an environmental problem with this cement factory, so if the refinery is built in the same zone, the situation would be untenable. There are another locations close to the pipe line far away enough of the city where the refinery can be installed. Najaf is situated in the gates of the desert so there are not problems o.f space, but not in the area currently chosen. Best Regards.

(b)( 1 ) 2. CERP - OMB see no difficulty with CERP monies going to CJTF-7 commanders. (Approp go to CENTCGM.) OIL (R. McKee): 1. Re Cables 5539 and 5540 -McKee indicated this has been an ongoing dispute between KBR and Al Tamea (sp?) over the price of fuel with KBR holding out for a lower price. (Effective cost is $2.65/ gallon with only $1.14 of it €or the gas.) $75 m is a different organization (LOGCAP/CENTAF) 2. Problems on delivery of Kuwaiti fuel involve security and distribution points. These are being worked with the military. McKee stated that if KBR cannot complete the tract, SOMO could be used to buy up the difference. 9 m liters from Kuwait ilable. The money is there, USACE has done contracts. and Al Tamea has the supply. (b)(6) Issues: Bring benzene supply to normal within the next two weeks so there are no lines. Confirm the LPG and kerosene reserves are sufficient. CPA response there is not a shortage of gas supplies just "thin." The gas lines are like a run on the bank. Increased number of cars and electricity problems (which shut the pumps down) contribute to the lines. 4. Ed Burley stated the Min of Interior has the lead on border issues. There is a gate - Rabia Gate (IbrahimKabil) (sp?) about 35 miles form the Habur Gate which had approximately 1000 trucks per day in November. Regardless of the number of gates, the roads throughout Iraq are limited. ELECTRICITY (Robin USAID ('?)) : 1. The power outage resulted from overload on the one power line after the second line was taken out by sabotage. Should be 100% restored by Dec. 12 (was 80% restored as of Dec. 10 evening). 2. Sabotage occurring in the South is provincial sabotage and looting of aluminum. South cuts the lines going to Baghdad which results in the South getting better electricity service and for longer hours. 3. Energizing the lines and towers makes it more difficult to sabotage but still possible. 4. TF Shield focuses on oil pipelines but TF Shield will now guard the electrical infrastructure when it is colocated or visible. 5. A new overall infrastructure security plan is being developed and will incorporate successes (e.g., tribes) . The Derived From: Declassify On: Multiple Sources 12/11/2013 I Gallinetti, Jon A.

But some constants emerge: Saddam knew how to 'play' the tribes. I do not believe the norm was to pay cash, nor to bribe. More it was the case that Sheikhs ....00 complied (most by the end of l'ancien regime)were rewarded in the grant of free services- oil, etc. Any Sheikh/ Tribe I Community which transgressed could expect to suffer interminably. He would not, I think, have indulged in paying Sheikhs not to pull down pylons! 11129/2003 fts for now, there are Ministries that do pay Sheikhs (witnessed one being rewarded today), and Ministries that think they don't but do; I have yet to identify one that doesn't. There must be some rich Sheikhs out there: one organization is alleged to be paying $60 per pylon per day as reward for not pulling it down. This practice, whatever it says for the morality of the new~lraq, must be unsustainable. One particular example bears scrutiny: Hart Security has taken out contracts with Sheikhs along the AJ Basrah I AJ Qut pylon tine whichj is being restored. It requires each Sheikh who signs up to provide guards (whose salaries he receives) to guarantee the integrity of the line. Theoretically the Sheikhs cannot walk away from such contracts. I see no evidence of them working yet but wil get a full brief from Hart on Wednesday. There is more work for me to do on this subject, and I'll be happy to join forces with anyone who is ahead of me. Essentially, if we are to go down this track- or more importantly if the Iraqis want to -we must deal with Sheikhs on an all-Infrastructure basis (ie power lines, oil pipes, water, rail -not piecemeal) as Saddamdid.

What steps will tbe administration take to ensure that all of this work is performed on a fully-competitive basis, and that none is awarded on a sole-source basis to Halliburton or any other company? Answer: Under an acquisition strategy approved in June 2003, the Army Corps of Engineers in conducting a full and open competition which will result in the award of two contracts for the repair and continuity of operations of the Iraqi oil infrastructure - one for the North and one for the South. The Army issued a Request for Proposals (DACA63-03-R-0021) on July 9, 2003. The Army is following formal source selection procedures applicable to major competitive procurements. On October 29, 2003, the Corps of Engineers announced it has amended the solicitation to increase the maximum value of the two contracts. Award is expected to occur in 30 to 60 days to give offerors an opportunity to revise their proposals and allow the Corps to evaluate the revisions. We anticipate these awards in December.

Attached is the statement of work for the IAMB audit of the DFI. This was originally submitted and the IAMB requested a section addressing "Oil Export Sales" (see .pdf file). The IAMB terms of reference are also attached. Below is the standard we are held to (source UNSCR 1483): "20. Decides that all export sales o~ petroleum, petroleum products, and natural gas ~ram J:rac;z following the date of the adoption of this resolution shall be made consistent with prevailing international market best practices, to be audited by independent public accountants reporting to the International Advisory and Monitoring Board referred to in paragraph 12 above in order to ensure transparency, and decides further that, except as provided in paragraph 21 below, all proceeds from such sales shall be deposited into the Development Fund for Iraq until such time as an internationally recognized, representative government of Iraq is properly constituted;" This is what I have added to the SOW for "Oil Export Sales:N "Oil export Sales. Oil exports sales are arranged for and conducted by the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), which is the Iraqi Ministry of Oil's marketing and supply organization. Pursuant to paragraph 20 ofUNSCR 1483, the CPA oversees these transactions to ensure they are consistent with prevailing international best practices. SOMO contracts for oil export sales via tenders, spot contracts, and term contracts. For each oil export sale, the buyer first files a letter of credit with the FRBNY, the lift of the contracted quantity occurs, final pricing occurs, and payment to FRBNY is made within 30 days of the lift. CPA monitors SOMO's clientele, reviews its oil export sales contracts and its official sales prices (OSP), and ensures the correct payment is made to the FRBNY." I don't think we are living up to UNSCR 1483 since we currently only monitor the clientele and ensure payment is made .

We are hoping to arrange lunch in the cafeteria at about 1230. All IGs now appointed or on the point of being appointed (see list of senior advisors/ main addressees) are Invited, and strongly encouraged, to attend. There will be a full briefing and discussion on the concept of the IG, the responsibilities that are entailed and how the mission might be developed and taken forward. We shall also cover the complementary roles of the Board of Supreme Audit and the new Commission on Public Integrity and how these organizations are being developed. The event will be Interactive and participative: we want to encourage to the maximum learning through an exchange of views among participants. After lunch, we Intend to continue discussion in small groups (for which there will be several facilitators) on problems that IG are likely to face In building up their organizations. This session can last as long as people want, up to 4 o'clock. We have considered whether we should invite senior advisors and/or other officials to accompany the newly appointed IG. While there would be some advantages, we believe that on balance it would be better to keep the group relatively small and focus this initial event on the IG themselves. There will of course need to be follow-up with them, their staff and those with related responsibilities. One of the aims of the seminar will be to help us to plan the future IG staff ~sistance that will be needed. Partly with that purpose in mind, • ._ _ and~of the DFID (AS I) Civil Service Reform project team will also be participating. We shall provide some further details in the next day or two.

This is an important project and probably the primary means of research for much of the work written about CPA's role in Iraq over the next several decades. All of you have worked hard on your respective projects. You have encountered many difficulties. You know better than anyone else what those difficulties were and how they were overcome. There is significant criticism of ORHA and CPA There is also a great deal of accomplishment by these organizations. The glass is over half full. You are the key personnel to define just what that entails. To reinforce what I said this morning, for those present and those that were not, I would like to define this project in detail. The purpose is to collect the relevant documents from all of the ministries and non-ministry components of CPA and to conduct oral interviews with as many participants as possible. Most of your documents are in a digital format, thus convenient to save and copy. We have created a historical file on the fserv2 located at: \\fserv2\rudd historical file Double click on this cutout and you will go to the historical file. In that file there are 54 folders. The CPA non- ministry components are listed in folders 26-54. The ministries are all listed sub-folders to the first folder. To reach a particular ministry, double click on the ministry folder, and then go to a specific ministry folder. If you are working in one of the ministries or non-ministry components of CPA, feel free to create subordinate folders by topic or by name as appropriate. The type of material to be saved should include: - Lists of all CPA personnel associated with the specific ministry or non-ministry component, their time with CPA and their function. - Lists of all Iraqis associated with the specific ministry on non-ministry component - All relevant documents produced by or otherwise related to that ministry or non-ministry component - Any paper trail that addresses projects, challenges, and accomplishments - Any other material deemed relevant by those working in the respective ministry or non-ministry component 1 If the material you have to copy to specific folders is sensitive, see the IT office and have access to specific folders restricted to those deemed appropriate to your office. Hard copy material for which there is no digital copy should be saved in manila folders and will be collected later in the year. All material will be downloaded or otherwise collected in June, consolidated, copied, and provided to multiple archival sites. At this time this includes: - The U.S. State Department (these files will at some stage pass to the National Archives); -The U.S. Army CenterofMilitaryHistory (CMH); - The Marine Gray Research Center; ·The British Foreign Office (possibly other Australian archival sites); - The Australian War Memorial (possibly other Australian archival sites); -To other coalition archival sites as they are identified; - Eventually to an Iraqi archival depository; - And to interested university research libraries. Hard copy material will probably go only to one archival site and in most cases that will be the State Department, then to the National Archives. If you have classified material, see (b)(6) about how that will be saved. I have conducted and recorded over 120 oral interviews to date and will conduct more in the future. I am su~~gestl<)ns on who should be interviewed. You can contact me by e-mail at material that will allow others to tell your story. (b )(6) ORRNCPA Historian 2 Page 1 of2 McKee, Robert E.

Rob To: Ainbaasadorl. PeuiBrenMW Ambassador Pet Kennedy SUbject: Product Supply The following summarizes some current Issues and Information related to supplying product to Iraqi consumers through the coming months. 1. A very high level summation of the supply problem Is that, In total volumes, we are unable to manufacture and Import enough product into the country on a day-to-dey basis to cover basic consumption, let alone be able to build stocks. Therefore, OtX current days of stock gradually are being decreased. Our current mode Is by necessity very reactionary, much like the Dutch boy sticking his thumb in the dike; however, it's a fact we're running out of short·term solutions. This situation exists because of several things-security of convoys, pipelines and repair crews; a buildup of refinery byproducts that are difficult to dispose of; border gridlocks; feedstock Interruptions to the refineries; erratic electrical grid performance; and significant delays in returning some LPG end pipeline infrastructure to service. 2. We are working with CJTF7 to improve the security situation. It is apparent that the military and our Task Force Shield etrorts need to be synchronized and that aerlal surveillance end mobile patrols are critical to this Improvement. Generals Gallinettl, Figgures end Davis ere being very supportive of this effort and we meet again today to jointly work on the problem. One loose end Is that Pat has agreed to talk to our current Task Force Shield Commander's boss in the US about extending here for us. This is critical at this particular stage of standing-up Task Force Shield and Integrating/training the Erinys contractor. 3. The Turkish border gridlock can continue to be helped by getting a68istance from the Turkish government. I would request lhat you officially ask their government to help us relieve the congestion on both sides of Habur Gate. It is important that we don't have thousands of trucks held up for days just to cross the border in either direction. Although Pat raises good diplomatic and Kurd arguments against opening another route from Turkey 1hrough the NE corner of Syria, 1 believe If that route could be sanctioned by you, the US and Turkey, It would at least help in the short-term. 4. At. the current time, we prioritize the products In the following order: Kerosene (heating), LPG (eating), Diesel (lighting and other servioes) and Benzene (personal driving). For kerosene, we have stayed ahead of demand for the last 10 days and have begun to build stocks slightly. The same applies to LPG, and this situation should alleviate further as we get the remainder of lhe southern LPG manufacturing system up end running. In diesel, abOUt 25% of the daily consumption Is going into power plants that were forecast to 11/21/2003 Page 2 of2 be running on other fuel at this time, so it remains problematical. And in benzene, our days of stock are being depleted as we concentrate on kerosene and diesel. One significant thing in our favor is that the 14" produd and the 14" LPG pipelines from the south are for the moment fully operational and we are able to move kerosene and diesel in one and LPG in the other all the way to Baghdad. This In tum relieves the stress on trucking, which we can then use more eflicienUy to move benzene and to transport resid away from the refineries. Therefore, what the challenge becomes is to keep the refineries and LPG plants running (security and electrical power are key components), repairing and protecting key product pipelines (security again) and moving even more volumes Into the ports and across the borders (money, logistics and security). 5. I wony about the supply of benzene in the coming days. Already lines are baglnnlng to form at stations in Baghdad and Mosul as people begin to hoard and the black marketeers bagin . to stock up. Should we consider raising the price of benzene across the board, or at least raising regular prices a small amount a1d premium by a lot larger amount? Benzene is not as crucial to survival through the winter and if we could help aeate a form of rationing by inaeased pricing, pressure would in tum be relieved on our other more important products. 6. Anally, a heads-up on the status of the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC). The DESC had a team here the last few days to review whether or not they would immediately take on the job of buying products and distributing them. As the team departed, they made a couple of points: a) If they take this job on, lfs an order of magnitude larger than any individual mission they now undertake. b) They will not be briefing the 3-star who leads the DLA (Defense Logistics Agency), under which the DESC resides, until next week. Then, they wll brief the Assistant Secretary of the Army two weeks from now. Only after that will a decision be made whether they will take the job. c) KBR did the job weii-KBR can do the job as well or better than they could do it-No sense in undoing what's being done so well now (presume they're referring in these comments to logistical management. not actual product purchasing). d) The decision in two weeks could be, "Yes to both purchasing and logistics management", or "Yes to purchasing, but No to logistics management", or "No to both". My concern is that time is flying and that by definition we'll not be able to get converted away from KBR in total or even partially for some time. I would like to see more of a sense of urgency to get them mobilized. However, they say that only the Secretary of Defense or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs can actually order them to take on this job.

Gary -----Original Message----- 10/31/2003 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000164 LPG Inventory 28 October Issue: LPG inventory is nut rising despite imports. Symmarv: With current system li.mitations, production and imports are approximately 3500 tons - well below demand. Repair of the pipeline from the South Gas Plant (SGP) to Baghdad, start-up of the SG!', and repair of the LPG pump station at Nusiriyah will increase total available LPG to 6500 tons (fmpon Plan requirement) and increase stocks of LPG. Background: I) Production: LPG is currently produced at the following locations and quantities: North Gas I)Iant Baiji Relinery l>aura Retinery Bas111 Refinery Total 980 tons per day 300 tons per day 120 tons per day 120 tons per day 1520 tons p..'T day The SGP will pr<xlu~;e about 1500 tons per day but is not ~;urrently operational (repairs arc c~titnated to be complete and production started by I 0 November). 2) Import by Truck: Since production is much less than the 4600 tons per day estimated demand, imports are required. KBR imporls LPG by truck from Turkey and Kuwait, and SOMO impm1s by tmck lrom Turkey. Truck imports have been about 1500 tons per day. Two additional l."OIItracts have been let to increase truck imports. 3) Import hy Barg.:: Due to cycle time, truck capacities (20 tons), truck availability, and truck download capacities, impons by truck cannot till the deficit between Iraq's productioo and its demand; th~refore, both KBR and SOMO impon l.PG by barge at the LPG Jetties just north of Umm Qasr port. The barges on:.load via pipeline to the SGP hulk storage a few kilometers away. Since the LPG pipeline from the SGP to Baghdad is not operational and the available bulk storage is nearly full, barges offload LPG only as bulk storage space is made available. Currently, this can only be done by loading LPG for distribution into trucks at the SGP. LPG can only be loaded into trucks at 500 tons per duy; therefore, the impons !rom these several thousand ton barges arc limited to 500 tons per day. 4) LPG Available: tons - well helow c~timated demand. With current system limitations, production and impor1s are approximately 3500 Resolution: I) Repair and fill the LPG piJ>dinc from the SGP ttl Bughdad. ETR · · · 06 Nov.:mber. Pipeline adds approximately 1200 tons per day capacity to move LPG from the SGP north. This will add 1200 tons per day in imports by harge.

Best Regards, Grayson DRAIT February 23, 2004 Mr. Thamir Ghadhban Ministry of Oil Baghdad, Iraq Dear Thamir: Thank you for taking the time to meet with us to discuss Ex-ImBank's proposal for a Medium-Term Well Workover Financing Facility. I took your advice and shared Ex-ImBank's proposal with financial and related ministries. Here are the results: -I had a working session with Minister of Finance Kamel al-Keilani, Trade Bank oflraq President Hussein al-Uzri, Undersecretary of Finance Fahmi Rabee, and Deputy Minister of Finance Hassan Aziz . During this session: o A request was made to see our proposal in writing. o We were asked to provide f inancial projections. Interest was expressed in insuring that a portion of the incremental revenue produced by the project would be available for Iraq's immmediate use, and not just for debt repayment. o Some uncertainty was expressed about Iraq's readiness to move forward, due to debt considerations. -I then met with Dr. Ahmad Chalabi of the Governing Council together with all of the above individuals from the working session and Mr. Dhia Khayoon of the Raffidain Bank. o I described to Dr. Chalabi what I thought would result iflraq does not move forward with a medium term well workover project. Project RIO's funds will enable Iraq to restore its oil production to pre-war levels. After those funds are spent, if no further investment is made, oil production levels will begin to fall. It could take Iraq three to five years to reach consensus about its long-term oil strategy and then to identify a project, negotiate financing, complete construction, and finally pump oil. During all this time, oil revenues will decline and government spending will need to be cut back. The people of Iraq are already anxious to share in Iraq's great oil wealth. Iraq cannot afford to retard progress by delaying investment in its oil infrastructure. While the Ex-1m Bank approach is not a long-term solution, it provides an interim step that will contribute positively to Iraq's economic growth and political stability. https ://mail.exim.gov/maiVgwolfe.nsf/($Sent)/92D 1116A661 D920585256E4300675B79/?0penDocumen... 2124/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000174 ----------------- - - , Page2 of2 o Dr. Chalabi said he thought it was an excellent idea, and Iraq should move ahead as quickly as possible. He expressed interest in making sure the approach makes good economic sense. o I also recommended to Mr. Chalabi that, in the upcoming negotiations with the IMF and Paris Club, Iraq should be sure to negotiate for itself flexibility to make investments to develop its oil infrastructure. The IMF will want to tie Iraq's hands in a way that will prevent it from making the very investments that will improve its economic viability. I also pointed out that the IMF would not be receptive to re-opening the agreement once it is finalized. Iraq has leverage BEFORE it signs the IMF agreement. Dr. Chalabi was receptive to this recommendation . -I also met with Dr. al-Shabibi of the Central Bank. He thought the medium-term oil fmancing idea made good sense and indicated that he was strongly supportive. - I was unable to meet with the Minister of Planning, but I did share our ideas with his Senior Advisor at the CPA, and I asked him to pass on our ideas to the Minister. Based on the input that I r~eived at these meetings, I would suggest that Ex-Im Bank now take the following actions : o P repare a legal opinion in response to Radhwan's question about whether the assets involved in such a medium term facility are subject to attachment risk. Draft a written proposal and disseminate it, as you advise o P repare fmancial projections and address your question about interest rates. I would suggest a two-step process: First, we will send you financials from a similar project. Second, if this data is interesting to you, I suggest that you identify a specific potential project, and we will work with Ministry staff to develop appropriate financial models. (One thought- I see the financial projeetions as a element of the written proposal. If this is the ease you may want to combine these two points or make the linkage more dear) I believe that these steps will help the idea mature. After I know that you have received this letter, I will call you to get your thoughts on this approach.

(b)(2) CC: (b)(2) Subject: Oil Rehabilitation Anandng Fadlity @ Attachment : lraq-QifRehabilltationFacilityPreliminaryTerms(Word).doc (30 KB) Dear Mr. Ghadhban, I am writing on behalf of the Export-Import Bank of the United States ("Ex-Im Bank") to express our strong interest in working with the Iraq Ministry of Oil (the "Ministry") to develop a medium-term financing facility for rapid oil field rehabilitation projects (the "Projects"). As the Ministry desires, we could work with you to structure this financing as a general facility to support procurement for multiple projects or initially as a financing for a single project. A single project financing could serve as a model or be expanded to include additional projects in the future upon mutual agreement of the parties. Some preliminary thoughts on potential terms and structure for a single project financing are attached. We would also be interested in working, if the Ministry chooses, with a select number of export credit agencies from other nations in providing this financing. Such an approach would allow the Ministry to maximize its procurement options and terms for the Project, while minimizing any potential political sensitivities by making this a multinational effort. The attached preliminary terms and structures are indicative and do not represent a commitment on the part of Ex-rm Bank. If you are interested in further exploring these concepts or would like to discuss other alternatives, I would propose having a small team from Ex-Im Bank meet with Ministry personnel to develop a more definitive proposal. I will be in London during the second week of February if that would be a convenient time and place to pursue this further. Prior to such meeting and after receiving your comments on the structure, we could provide you with a more detailed term sheet that would be the focus of the meeting. We look forward to hearing any comments or questions you may have on this matter. http://by9fd.bay9 .hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg?msg=MSG 1074403579 .9&start=670 1671 &len=3462... 2/23/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000180 ...----------- -- MSN Hotmail - Message Page2 of2 Peter B.

(SES}; (b )(6) Cc: Bent, Rodney (SES-4); (b )(6) Subject: RE: Follow up to briefing Dawes, Robert (SES~2) It seems that the information required for the DFI Audit will be available because the highlighted sentence in the paragraph below is what the IAMB auditors would .be looking for - that we know the quantity of crude oil being sold and the sales price so the auditors can ensure that those sales prices are appropriate - with prevailing international market best practicesN - and that the total sale price is deposited into the Oil Proceeds Account with 95% then going into the DFI. ~consistent The question on the bartering process by SOMO is different. I understand that CPA has been moving SOMO away from those bartering contracts, to the cash sales basis. The question here is getting the data from SOMO on the amount of residual oil that is being bartered, the quantity and type of fuel that is being provided in return, and then the ability to determine the relative values of those two products. If there isn't a reliable periodic reconciliation of crude production to utilization that IAMB discusses, it may lead to questions for the auditors. From their perspective the question arises on the internal controls in place to ensure that there isn't [large scale] smuggling of crude going on. I don't know enough about the oil business to know if that's possible but that would be the question to answer. Should there be a relationship between the crude produced and the amount of crude sold or are there too many other variables within the refining portion? Again, from an auditor's perspective, another area to review would be once the product is either refined [or imported], are the controls in place to track quantity produced down to quantity delivered to the end user? Are losses in line with industry standard operations? However, I don't believe this review is within the scope of the audit. Will the SOMO auditors review that area? R.

This is just the way it has been done for years in Iraq. It's not something any of us like, but it is a fact. Bow, the only semi-reliable metering that is done ia on the export volumes th8mselves because they're putting the oil onto a ahip for a buyer, and the buyer obvioualy has to have some way of knowing what they bought. We do our best by using the Iraqis estimates of production, refining feed stocks, shrinkage, reinjection and 2/19/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000185 Page 2 of2 exports to try to somewhat reconcile the numbers.

The recent signing of the United States legislation Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Defense and Reconstruction of Iraq by President Bush brings a much needed infusion of funds to our efforts in CPA. CPA must now deliver a financial plan to Congress to enable the apportionment of the funds. Here is the timeline for accomplishing that: * 14 Nov - Produce procurement schedule and list of grants * 20 Nov - Consolidated list of projects with first cut on who the execution agent will be * 30 Nov - Submit draft plan to Bremer * 10 Dec - Submit plan to OMB DC for apportionment and Congress for notification 1 Feb - Contract awards IIRO needs your help to succeed. we must build a procurement and execution plan for both construction and non-construction dollars. This plan must provide descriptions and locations of projects to be performed, estimated costs, when each project is needed {when must it be completed, thus when must it start to meet that deadline), what must be procured and who should procure it, and when the procurement needs to occur. While we're preparing the plan we are authorb:ed to obligate up to 20% of the total, so IIRO, in coordination with the ministries, must also establish priorities within each ministry and across CPA. Your input to the plan is critical to our success. We have broken non-construction dollars into two categories: things that have to be procured and things that don't, like salaries, grants, etc. Attachment A is our best guess at the breakout of these dollars.

"~ ~"'~ FOIA 09-826 CPA 000192 Disposition (including expenditure authorized); Description o.f Program or Goods To Be Purchased - Please §ee Above Instructions 1. Purpose/Objective: PRB #352 authorized Task Force RIO to undertake $961 million in infrastructure projects. Ambassador Bremer approved this action as PRB Allocation Request #6. To date, $716 million has been allocated from Appropriated Funds. $245 million is still required. Detailed Descriptions: a. Air Surveillance. In response to the increasing threat to the oil infrastructure, specifically pipelines, we propose to add aerial surveillance capabilities to the contracted security force. Erinys can provide dedicated support with the Air Scan system, which they have used before in other similar situations. The Air Scan system is a low-light television sensor mounted in a two- engine commercial aircraft A relay aircraft provides the downlink to the associated ground station. This system can provide the needed imagery with near-real time analysis and dissemination. Estimated Requirement: $10 Million. b. MOO Portion of Workplan projects. The Ministry of Oil agreed to accomplish a significant portion of the Workplan using their own labor, equipment. and contracting/procurement capabilities. However, they do not have the funds required to purchase the necessary equipment and to let contracts for work that cannot be completed with their own labor force, so their portion of the Workplan is not making optimum progress. These funds will complete the immediate funding needs ofthe Workplan e.ffort. Estimated Requirement: $193 Million. c. Personal Security for Ministry of Oil Director..(Jenerals (DGs). In early November, one of the Ministry of Oil DGs was the subject of an attack where he was wounded in the leg and his son was killed. As terrorists become bolder and increasingly desperate, Oil Executives become more likely targets for violent acts. Services are required to provide personal security for the 8 DGs for a period of 6 months. The Ministry of Oil will be responsible for procuring funding to extend the period of the contract beyond that point. Estimated Requirement $1.2 Million. d. Other security requirements. The fluid security environment has created many unanticipated security requirements. Some solutions that will be explored using these funds, if necessary, include hiring local tribes to guard infrastructure; selective hardening of particularly vulnerable sites; purchase of equipment to enhance security and communications among security forces; and others. Estimated Requirement; $5.8 Million. e. Small Projects. Several Army units have identified small oil infrastructure projects in their respective sectors that will have an impact on total fuel production and/or have a positive impact on other sectors such as industry or housing and construction. Some examples that have been proposed are restoring a fuel storage depot with a capacity of 10 million liters and completing a Propane Deasphalting Unit at Daura refinery. Numerous other project<; related to production and distribution exist throughout the country, and we would like the flexibility to approve these small projects if we determine the work meet our mission of restoring the Iraqi Oil Infratructure. This will be comparable to the Corps of Engineers small projects authority know as the "Continuing Authorities Program." These projects all are very inexpensive, use troop and local Iraqi assets, and build rapport between the various units and the Iraqi people. Estimated Requirement: $35 Million. 2. Justification: The most significant impacts of not providing this funding are: a. Continued reduction in retinery output due to pipeline sabotage. For example, Daura refinery was recently reduced to 50% of capacity due to sabotage of the pipelines supplying crude Form PRB-01 ver. 6/21/03 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000193 oil. The Erinys air surveillance will significantly reduce the frequency and severity of pipeline sabotage incidents. b. MOO portion of Phase l projects goes on bold. MOO has no money to perform their portion of the Work Plan. This seriously hampers progress across the entire Work Plan. Without this funding the goal of achieving a crude production level of 2.5 million per day will not be attained. 3. Coordination: The requirement has been coordinated with the Director of Oil Policy and the Director General of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. 4. Goods and Commodities: Not applicable. 5. Project Implementation: All of the projects authorized by this request will be accomplished primarily with the use of small contrac- ts. Some of the funds will be used by the Ministry to purchase critical equipment. Some work will be accomplished by Iraqi Government employees using this equipment. Some work will be contracted out by the Ministry of Oil. Some work will be contracted through the CPA and managed by US Army units.

To fund the emergency import of LPG, Benzene, Kerosene and Diesel. 2. Justificatjon. The Iraqi domestic refining capacity has not yet been able to produce enough refined products to meet domestic daily needs for benzene, diesel, kerosene and LPG. Currently domestic production produces appoximatley 6. 7 million liters per day (lpd) of benzene vs a total daily requirement of 16 million lpd, approximately 10.4 million lpd of diesel vs a total daily requirement of 17 million lpd, approximately 7.5 million lpd of kerosene vs a total daily requirement of 12.0 million lpd and approximately 1072 tons per day (tpd) of LPG vs a total daily requirement of about 5200 tpd (production amounts update from last report to reflect lower values; consumption amounts updated from last request to reflect higher winter demands). The Coalition Forces have been attempting to import the balance through contracts executed by Task Force RlO, and through SOMO on both barter and cash contracts. TF RIO is currently under the operational command of the OCPA, Oil Ministry. In addition to importing fuel to meet the national demand there is a requirement to build reserves to offset increasing demand for the winter months. This request includes enough imports to build a 15 day supply of LPG, benzene, kerosene, and diesel. $100 million is being reserved for SOMO in this request. 3. Coordination. The requirement has been coordinated with the Director of Oil Policy, the Director General of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Finance, and Ambassador Bremer. 4. Goods and Commodities. Benzene, Kerosene, and Diesel are delivered primarily by truck from Kuwait or Turkey. LPG is delivered by truck from Turkey and Kuwait and via barge at the Khor Zubayr terminal. The monthly cost for all fuel deliveries based on forecasted production rates and projected imports by SOMO are as follows: Total RIO SOMO DEC Need $200,000,000 $1 50,000,000 $ 50,000,000 JAN Need $225,000,000 $175,000,000 $ 50,000,000 Total Need $425,000,000 $325,000,000 $100,000,000 Funds for RIO will be allocated through an Economy Act Order to the US Army Corps of Engineers to be obligated against their fuel import contract. 5. Project Implementation. The project manager is the USA Corps of Engineers, Task Force RIO, opconned to the OPCA Ministry of Oil. The RlO imports are executed through the RIO contractor, Kellog, Brown and Root (KBR). Other options, .including using existing Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) contracts, are being explored. Discussions are currently underway to tum the mission over to DESC, so that further imports may be conducted using funds from the Supplemental Appropriation. It will take some time to put appropriate contracts in place in accordance with the Law, as well as to have an orderly transition of the operational supervision of the import mission. It is expected that this transition can be complete no earlier than the end of January. All parties coordinated with have concurred in this recommended course of action. Form PRB-01 ver. 6/21/03 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000196 ·j ' The current amount allocated to imports through TF RIO by PRB#551 ($125,000,000) will be exhausted on or about 15 DEC 03. This request will fully fund imports through 31 JAN 04. It is the intention of the Director, Oil Policy to begin to reduce imports, in conjunction with expected increase of domestic refining capacity. Current projections are to signiticantly reduce the import of LPG via truck by the end of December 2003 and rely primarily on the imports via barge through the end of March, 2004. The import of benzene will continue through the end of January, 2004, due to the scheduled maintenance shut down of the Bayji Refinery in November through December. Quantities will be reduced, however, .as stocks are built up and refinery capacity i . ncreases. Diesel and Kerosene imports will continue through the end of March, 2004 but at reduced levels after December, 2003. This schedule, however, has been impacted by repeated oil pipeline breaks and electrical power shortages and by the smuggling of diesel. We continue to monitor the requirement a month at a time.
