Walt Slocombe, who, as you know, was until recently the U.S. Advisor for Security Affairs to Ambassador Bremer in Baghdad, detailed the steps we are taking to create a new Iraqi Army on an accelerated basis in his recent OP-ED piece in The Washington Post, which I'm sure you have seen. In the Op -ED piece he also described the steps we are taking to use former Iraqi military in the new Army and in a variety of security forces. Walt recently briefed the Senate Arnicd Services Committee on this subject. The coalition forces are enlisting volunteers into the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps (ICDC) as well as the New Iraqi Army (NIA) in substantial numbers. The two forces together will total in the vicinity of 70,000 by the end of next summer. A great number of those volunteering arc former soldiers and officers. Their service is welcome, and we have safeguards to insure that they have little or no relationship with the former regime. As to the two points raised in the Letter to the Editor which you enclosed by the former Iraqi military staff college dean in the 1980s: First, what the Zogby poll shows is that the Iraqis (like us) want Iraqi security forces to handle security. That is different from their wanting the old Army to handle it -- and in any case says nothing about whether the old Army could have done it, much less whether the old Army could now. The dean's second point is a claim that the old Army did not disintegrate but was persuaded by the opposition to go home and wait and would have come back, if called. That is just not in accord with the facts: what happened was not an organized stand-down of a force waiting for new orders, but a complete distintcgration, with conscripts happily out of their servitude, all equipment of any use stolen, and all facilities destroyed (both by the deserting troops and the general population, who looted the bases afterward.) Walt is now back in Washington, and I have asked him to be available to brief you and to contact you directly to meet with you, as well as the Chairman, should he wish to participate. cc: Ambassador L.

The National Bank of Kuwait is a bidder for one of the six foreign bank charters being granted this year. The Kuwaiti government has offered to help support a mideast region television station being promoted within CPA. Several Kuwaiti proposals have been received for resort developments in the I3asra area, We assume that many Kuwaiti business people are pursuing opportunities in Iraq directly with Ministries and private businesses without consulting the CPA. In addition, the Private Sector Development Directorate of CPA will soon be initiating a direct solicitation program to stimulate foreign investment. Kuwaiti businesses and the Kuwaiti Investment Fund will be an important focus of that effort. As part of that effort we plan to contact the Kuwaiti Government to invite a Kuwaiti delegation to come to Iraq to discuss private sector investment opportunities. Wc also plan to contact key Kuwaiti business leaders directly to invite them to join the delegation or come on their own to explore investment opportunities in Iraq. it ilfrntflitOtIfte/Vt' SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 1000 DEFENSE PENTAGON WASHINGTON, DC 20301-1000 NOV 2 o MEMORANDUM FOR AMBASSADOR L.

The English sections on thc Middle East and Iraq drew just over 500,000 page views last month while the Arabic pages had about 40,000 page views. • The State Department's magazine pointed at Arabic youth, "Hi," has a parallel website, http://www.hihag.com. By design, it is not policy oriented. Page view data is not readily available. • USAID has a wcbsitc, www.usaid.gov/iraq in Arabic. It draws about 24,000 page views monthly. About 75 percent of them go to the Contracts and Grants pages. • The CPA website, www.coalitioniraqug - „ brings in about 1.1 million page views per month. Everything on the site since mid-October also appears in Arabic, but current site organization does not permit us to tell how many arc reading the Arabic (wc are changing that). We do know that we get 40,000 hits a month from Jordan, [JAE and Saudi Arabia, but have no measure of hits from Iraq. Our top four destinations are: Solicitations, Orders and Regulations, Fulbright Scholarships and Business Center. Overall assessment: The CPA websitc is where people look for Iraq information. Most of them look for technical information, but with content expansion and improvement we can increase the number of visitors and attract their interest to other, "freighted," material. We are taking steps to do this, but suffered a setback when DTIC, which supports our page from Ft.

Since security is our top priority, let's set aside $600 million of that to continue and expand training and equipping activities for generating Iraqi internal security forces. New funds need to be made available quickly. We can't afford a pause in funding to train and cquip forces; without immediate increases US commander& will be unable to increase recruiting and training forces in line with new end- strength targets. There is also an urgent need to provide forces with cold weather gear and other essential equipment, and to improve training. I'd like GEN Abizaid to report to me on his funding plan for using the money most effectively to expand recruitment while improving training and equipping of the force. 4444C.F4FrT. DRAFT WORKING PAPERS X04089 /03 COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTIIORITY BAGHDAD November 19, 2003 MEMO TO: Secretary Rumsfeld Cc: Paul lArolfowitz General Dick Myers General John Abizaid FROM: Paul Bremer, Administrator SUBJECT: Pay, Benefits, and Administration of Iraqi Security Forces After extensive review of job comparability by both senior Iraqi civil servants and a team of specialists from the Pentagon, a new government-wide pay scale was adopted on Septimiber 8, 2003. Sct out in CPA Order Number 30, it includes all grades and ranks of the various Iraqi security forces. It also provides for pay increases based on both longevity and grade. A survivor benefits policy has been approved to compensate families of members of the security forces killed in the line of duty. The Ministry of Health has adopted a policy whereby members of the security forces are provided free treatment for all line-of-duty injuries. While these policies apply country-wide, misunderstandings continue to occur in the field. A clear policy regarding compensation for members of the security forces that are disabled in the line of duty needs to be formalized. We are closely monitoring the impact of the current compensation scheme for all of the members of the security forces, particularly those engaged in hazardous duties, to determine whether they are sufficient to attract and retain quality personnel. If changes are needed, we will make them. Regarding administration of pay, I do not concur with the proposal to postpone the transition of funding from CE.NTCOM to CPA. Administration of pay for most of the members of the security forces has been a CPA responsibility for sonic time. In my judgment, it makes sense to transition from use of CERP funds to regular budget funding as scheduled. This will also force conformity with the new pay scale. Implementation of a centralized system that can be more readily adopted by the Iraqis is essential as we transfer control. I do not see any nexus between recruiting and training and the payroll system. WSII/e-c.;/ COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY BAG!

I also understand that administration of pay for the Iraqi secuiity focces is scheduled to transition from CENTCOM to CPA on December I, 2003, 1 think we should postpone the transition in light of last week's decisions to expand the nurnbu of forces.

Any military action against PKKJKADEK would require significant resources. There are no partial military options; going after core leadership lbws, or trying to break up meetings will require a sustained military commitment. It atso increases the possibility at .JKADEK action against Turkish troops that remain in Northern Iraq, which wouki be broadly detrimental to our efforts to maintain stability in norhtem Iraq. -- We do not agree that the firelight in the north was part of a coordinated action by a more agressive PKK/KADEK, we are prepared to engage them whenever coalition or Iraqi forces are threatened; and we will continue to detain menthe's as part of our patrols up north. Anyone involved or implicated in actions against coalition or Iraqi forces will be pursued and either captured or killed. We will ask the Governing Council to respond strongly to any public statement by any terrorist group on Iraqi soil. -- We will reiterate to the Kurdish poIrtical panes the unacceptable nature of KA:11.K activity, including KADEK political activity under any name. T hey have made clear that they share the same concerns. - To trip to we will emphasize that clear statements and action from him as the President of the GC in advance of his ra, will help move bilateral relations forward arid ease tensions across the border. He wid not want KADFK to undermine his trip to Ankara. -- A preemptory public statement from either CPA of the GC will serve to call attention to the group. Our public position on terrorist groups has been consistent with the the draft points forwarded from OSD Policy. We are prepared to respond publiciy as necessary to KADFK propaganda efforts.

DC 20301-1000 Dear Don: J enjoyed meeting with you just before you sat down for dinner at the hook festival gala in Washington last week. The President, his father, and 3cb Bush have all been to our home in Dallas. Since under the leadership of President Bush and you, the United States was able to win quickly the substantive part of the war, it is important that the peace does not slip into a slow Vietnam. With the huge number of terronsts and criminals trying to stir up unrest in Iraq in order to undermine the U.S. efforts. I made the following suggestion to President Bush at the dinner, which I hope you will also consider: A generous cash award program for the various Chiefs of Police and perhaps another program for the police under thc Chiefs that will reward capturing the terrorists and criminals. The Iraqi police apparently have a low standard of living to start with so a genemns supplemental cash award pmgrarn, in addition to some type of honor program, could be quite effective and would probably save a number of American lives. I mentioned this idea to Kay Bailey Hutchinson and she thought it should be pursued. Keep up the good work! Yours very truly, Cary M.

Thc first is that a new company law is being drafted which we hope to have ready by December 15. The new law will make company registrations much easier. The second is a project in the Trade Ministry to streamline the corporate registration process and improve the communication and facilitation capability at the Ministry. We have a number of initiatives underway to stimulate the private sector economy.

Secunty, Sovereignty, and Time Available. For what it's worth here are my brief thoughts starting with the Time Available. > Time Available: It 1.7pcars that mos: of the prioects we have planned foi Iraq are on a time table to be completed in a }ear or less. This is excellent considirring the magnitude of the task;. However, When viewed in the sarac sandbox as t. coming Presidential election, that time table is too short. By March, we iced to have. at least, the appearance of completion or near completion of major asks. In other words, :et's dv.e.lop.a six month ttrategy of "near completion- for ihcw areas that are the most politically volatile, i.e., government, and security/ aw enfomement. If we take this approach and attack with robust. dedicated Tiger Teams we can achieve remarkalile results by March. I believe that any ( tccis)on after March, no matter how good or 'low viable, will be cr.ticized as "an Admirustration decision made under duress and pressure- . > Soveriri*ar . I believe Terry Bremer's 7 step pIsn for government is 'tweed and correct .. but it is ti:21.s_losid • _rj,jl.lakkb.alfzale.p_L_ tow. Continue w th Jerry's plan but by llccerr.ber declare the Committee of 25 a 'Provisional Goveinment " The Provisional Government would remain under the oversight of the L; S. hut Juld have increased power anti authority such as: A 1..tdget, (which is .1sible and auditable), nomination and approval of Reconstruction projects, and prioritization of security areas (in include !telethon of restationing locati.ms of the new Iraqi Amy) etc Provisional sutus while keeping us in charge give: them a mantle of real authority but more importantly a voice in their own future and 1, makes them directly responsible for its outcome. Security: Take a trndular appToach with both the National Policc and Army. There are 18 Provisional &ICU in Iraq (17 provinces plus 13aghdr:d). The sn, 2$1133 :3: 03 00X6) EXEC csT I Ct: three Kurdish provinces are_not_a_secu-ity problem, so the focus should be the __— remaining 15. Immedituely begin a program that upgrades and pnovides individual training to police and regular Army (one Infantry battalion per -- province) in 5 provinces per quarter. The training won't be great, but it w II he sufficient. Upon completion of each 5 pmvinces, put the U.S. Forces into garnson and only use them as emergency reaction forces. Let thc Iraqi police and Army be the vitible sectrilry force. Contract this effort, make it a turn kt) operation with award fees for achieving the desired time table. Use a proven contractor such as IsdiPIZI. who does this type thing woe,d-wide, on short r otice and with superb results. After the contractor has finished each of the five provinces, place a small contingent of US. military advisors with each Amy company and each police detachment The advisors would he. responsible for \ their collective trainirg gained through daily operations. If we do this, by end of March we'll have a credible goverrutental structure that is recognizable to the Iraqi peotle and we'll hsve Iraqi faces on the sccunty effort err the two-third; of the country. A"! of this is doable, it simply means that we need to: Sharply foc Lis our effmt, change frum the tightly centralized over controlling process we now have, and finally, we need tc trust that the Iraqis can do this. As I stated prcioislv I.E. Lawrence had it right, " It is bener that they do it imperfectly than that you do it perfectly. For it is their country and your time here is limited." Over to you, th:kolts for the opportunity to correspond.

On Thursday, 20 November. the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1826. the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003, as amended by the Senate. The bill (1) prohibits the export to Syria of any item on the United States Munitions List or Commerce Control List of dual-use items: (2) requires the President to impose at least two of six sanctions outlined in the bill; (3) authorizes the President to waive the sanctions if he determines that it is in the national security interest of the United States to do so, (4) authorizes U.S. assistance to Syria and Lebanon under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 if the President certifies that the Government of Syria has met conditions outlined in the legislation, and establishes a 'tate Department reporting requirement. In September, The Undersecretary of State for nms control and international security testified that the Administration would not oppose H.R. 1828.

The Committee discussed media proposal - for the creation of an Iraqi Press Agency (relationship with the an Iraqi Government is a bit sketchy • a Secretariat staffer sitting in on the meeting described it as a Reuters-esque organization to distribute media content to domestic/international media agencies). The agency would have bureaus around the world - London, Paris, NY. around the Middle East, Far Kest & Africa. IMN was also discussed - there is apparently a proposal to have a 9 member Board of Directors composed of 3 GC Members, 3 CPA Reps and 3 'Experts in addition to a 15-20 person Advisory Board representing the interests/voice of the Iraqi public.

Assistance in reshaping Egyptian media's programming: stop describing criminal acts as a resistance movement by the previous regime and Al Paeda. ii.

I could write the speech, basic let's get down to business pitch on the opportunities of the free market and the role of the business community in civil society. lAcould also do it if he is back by then.

Electricity questions the legality of a ten year contract with CPA as signatory? This contract, or any considered for this purpose, should be reviewed by a contracts lawyer who is expert in power purchase agreements. Terms of contract are not favorable due to a number of factors including: a. Lack of termination clause and lack of equitable penalties for any failure on their part b. Ownership of lines/land is questionable: No terms tor land or permits in Iraq; Iraq is responsible for O&M of lines that they build; penalties are imposed on Iraq for any problems that should arise c. The price is too high. The current regional price for electricity, at retail, is on the order of 5.5 cents. The current commercial retell mite is around 3.5 cents. i. Note: The original 200MW contract was priced higher due to the nature of our immediate, emergency needs d. Payments during construction period are not well defined and will fully finance the construction of 3. 4. the lines No Appendices were attached, we would want to review these before any further determinations Electricity questions the availabliity of coalition forces to secure the lines during construction and recurring maintenance. Do we want to: 6. 7. Perhaps, but only if a lower prices, better contract terms and shone( time period were negotiated Ten years is too long; within 3 years Iraq should be energy independent: this contract should be renewable on a 1-2 yew basis 11/15/2003 Message Page 2 of 2 8. We would like to do a full financial analysis and expert legal analysis before committing Iraqi funds to this If legal, how do we do it: 9. 10. The Ministry has little operating and no capital funds for next year. Thus the only way of financing is through the DFI or Supplemental monies Or Donors, but those funds will not materialize in time nor are they likely to be eligible for expenditures of this sort. We have been exploring the Supplemental option but have not gotten positive indicators back from the Admiral Nash at the PMO. I have a draft contract from this same company for a nearly identical deal involving the exchange of heavy fuel oil and crude instead of cash. FINAL RECOMMENDATION: CPA contracts to build a high voltage line to Turkey with Supplemental monies. Then CPA/ME competes the import of power among Turkish power companies. Iraq would need to enter Into an agreement with TEIAS, the Turkish grid operator, to connect to their grid. TIEAS owns the Turkish network and charges power providers a fee. We would then enter Into an agreement with the most competitive Turkish power provider to supply electncity over the lines we construct.

Paul Bremer OIL INFRASTRUCTURE CONTRACI'S QuotioP fi19 Question: Ambassador Bremer, the administration's supplemental request includes S2.1 billion to rehabilitate Iraq's oil infrastructure. What steps will the 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 offemrs an opportunity to revise their proposals and allow the Corps to evaluate the revisions. Wc anticipate these awards in December.

We and the IMU have met with Andy Bearpark's office and they "agreed furiously" that this shade not go to Bremer directly, and should be designated FOUO. (Bremer was not happy with these long Sitreps: but, that said, it is very important to him , that he have a direct nexus to the Governorate Coordinators. What he wants is a we l e_4y one-to-two_page summaryotKilitica and economic highlights - and, if tnere is a hot topic/issue, thiS could be done in a separate spot report, or iff there is a particularly good memcon, for instance, that could be attached to the weekly report. Amb Bremer wants this to come directly to him, cc to Governance, ExecSec (and the IMU when the Governance person arrives). NO filters. The reports should be designated FOUO Weekly reports tend to be role fill-in-the-blank, and he doesn't want this either. 'there is nothing significant to report the Coordinator should say so, but I would think that would be rare. The reports should be a quick read, and !nformatron rich. The drafter(s) should be ident.fied at the end of the report. I am confused on who was sending in the Operation's Region& Sitreps I think they may well have a purpose ard readership for analysts and people following the issues/developments day-to-day closely. I also think that there is raw information that couid get mis-directed and misused, but could be minee effectively If properly directed - thus the FMK) designation. As far as l know, we aren't putting a stop to these longer regional sitreps, but we are limiting distribution and not sending to Bremer directy. Also, Amb Bremer wants the Coordinators to be able to have a point person trouble shooter on admin support, which I would imagine they already have in Regional Ops. The IMU, as soon as it gets staffed up, will be helping the Governance Team Wth all this. f3ut, we need to come up with an immed:ate stop-gap format and an established due date asap for these summary reports. Bremer wants to see standardized, routine reporting as soon as he gets back. But it needs to be systematized, i.e., standard subject iines, region/province identifier in the email sub;ect line, so he can use his time efficiently in going through them As you know, it is likely he will want to convert a number o' those reports into reporting cables, arc, then into the Weekly Administrator's Report to Washington. Again, once we have our IMU Governance person on board, he/she will be able to take on this responsibility. ( would prefer that Governance task th,s out to the Coordinators, f you don't mnd, so that ExecSec does not (=fuse the information channel.

The Iraqi said the order by the provisional council was 66 Or 67 (1'm not sure about the format of the numbers, perhaps there is a hiphen between the numbers). Could you ask if there is any such order/law and what the number is. According to the CPA web site the last order posted was 43. Thank you for your assistance.

Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 7:52 AM To: Oliver, David R., Jr. Subject: Hiring New Employees Apparently the Council of Ministers has advised all the ministers that they can hire any employees who they think were fired in the past for political reasons. Not sure how you sort out those fired for political reasons and those who were fired because they simply couldn't do the job. I told him of the hiring freeze and told him that if he were going to start hiring people we wanted to be sure that we didn't exceed the number of positions already provided for (13.872) or the budget for salaries because we simply don't have any extra money. He is still inclined to want to handle the problem which, quite frankly I see as political. It is therefore an issue which you will have to address at a level higher than me. LTC Danny L.

The English sections on the Middle East and Iraq drew just over 500,000 page views last month while the Arabic pages had about 40,000 page views. • The State Department's magazine pointed at Arabic youth, "Hi," has a parallel website, http://www.hihazcom. By design, it is not policy oriented. Page view data is not readily available. • USAID has a websitc, www.usaid.szov/iraq in Arabic. It draws about 24,000 page views monthly. About 75 percent of them go to the Contracts and Grants pages. • The CPA website, www.coalitioniraq.org, brings in about 1.1 million page views per month. Everything on the site since mid-October also appears in Arabic, but current site organization does not permit us to tell how many are reading the Arabic (we are changing that). We do know that we get 40,000 hits a month from Jordan, UAE and Saudi Arabia, but have no measure of hits from Iraq. Our top four destinations are: Solicitations, Orders and Regulations, Fulbright Scholarships and Business Center. Overall assessment; The CPA website is where people look for Iraq information. Most of them look for technical information, but with content expansion and improvement we can increase the number of visitors and attract their interest to other, "freighted," material. We are taking steps to do this, but suffered a setback when DTIC, which supports our page from Ft. Belvoir, informed us on November 14 that thcy can offer only minimal support outside regular Washington working hours.
