5. (U) CPA BAGHDAD SUGGESTS THAT EMBASSY ANKARA USE THE FOLLOWING
TALKING POINTS WITH GOT:
- CPA AND THE IRAQI MINISTRY OF OIL ARE SURPRISED BY GOT CONCERNS
THAT OIL EXPORTS WOULD BE SUSPENDED FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. THE
IRAQI MINISTRY OF OIL HAS NOT SUSPENDED EXPORTS THROUGH THE
IRAQ/TURKEY PIPELINE FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. THE PIPELINE HAS BEEN
SHUT DOWN TEMPORARILY DUE TO SECURITY REASONS AND WILL BE RESUMING
EXPORTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
-WE ASK THAT THE GOT CONDUCT ALL DISCUSSIONS OF OIL TRADE WITH THE
MINISTRY OF OIL, RATHER THAN WITH LOCAL IRAQI OFFICIALS WHO CAN NOT
NEGOTIATE OVER OIL THEY DO NOT CONTROL.
-THE CPA WILL ENCOURAGE SOMO TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION WITH BOTAS IN
ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATE
CONCERNS.
-WE ASK GOT'S ASSISTANCE IN PREVENTING ILLICIT SMUGGLING OF CRUDE
OIL OR ANY OIL PRODUCTS FROM IRAQ INTO TURKEY.
-REGARDING THE POTENTIAL SALE OF ELECTRICITY TO IRAQ, THE MINISTRY
OF OIL NOTES THAT OFFERS FOR $20 PER TON OF FUEL OIL ARE HARD TO
CONSIDER AS SERIOUS WHEN $140 PER TON CAN CLEARLY BE REACHED ON THE
OPEN MARKET.
(b)( 1 )
-TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WITH IRAQI AUTHORITIES, WE
ENCOURAGE YOU TO COMMUNICATE AS APPROPRIATE WITH THE IRAQI MISSION
IN ANKARA OR THE IRAQI MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS IN BAGHDAD.

Q: HAS ANYONE AT THE CPA EXAMINED THE DOCUMENTS OBTAINED BY AL MADA

A: THE CPA HAS ASSISTED THE GOVERNING COUNCIL TO SET UP TH E

WOULD BE A SUITABLE ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE COMMISSION.
Q: BUT ISN'T CPA GOING TO TACKLE THIS ISSUE?
THE ALLEGATION BEING MADE IS THAT SADDA~l ENGAGED IN BRIBERY OF INDIVIDUALS IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES. THE AUTHORITIES IN THOSE ,. ~TRIES WILL BE THE ONES TO DECIDE WHETHER THESE ALLEGATIONS MERIT ~STIGATION AND/OR PROSECUTION UNDER THEIR LAWS. 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.
AL MADA COMPILED THE LIST FROM DOCUMENTS IT SAID WERE RETRIEVED FROM
THE IRAQ STATE-OWNED OIL MARKETING ORGANIZATION SHORTLY AFTER THE
US-LED COALITION ENTERED IRAQ IN 2003. THE LIST INCLUDES PROMINENT
POLITICIANS AND COMPANIES ACROSS THE WORLD, INCLUDING IN THE US, UK,
RUSSIA, FRANCE AND THE MIDDLE EAST.

SAID.THAT THE PRIME MINISTER HAS INDICATED THAT FAST-TRACKING
APPROVAL OF THE KAZIMA RENOVATION PROJECT WITHIN 48 HOURS
COULD POSSIBLY BE UNDERTAKEN ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS, WITH
FURTHER DISCUSSION. THE RENOVATION CAN BE COMPLETED WITHIN
45-60 DAYS USING LOCAL CONTRACTORS, OR LESS WITH US MILITARY
SUPPORT. AL-HUMAIDHI REITERATED THAT ALTANMIA WOULD MAKE
THESE INVESTMENTS AT NO/NO COST TO THE US, AND WITH NO NEED
FOR A US COMMITMENT ON QUANTITIES OF FUEL TO BE DELIVERED TO
IRAQ. HOWEVER, ALTANMIA WILL NOT UNDERTAKE SUCH A LARGE
FINANCIAL COMMITMENT IF IRAQ ONLY NEEDS INCREASED FUEL
SUPPLIES FOR THIS WINTER. AGAIN, AL-HUMAIDHI EMPHASIZED THAT
THEY SIMPLY NEED A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHAT QUANTITIES AND
TYPES OF FUELS ARE NEEDED, SO THAT THEY MAY MAKE THE
NECESSARY LOGISTICAL ARRANGEMENTS. HE NOTED THAT THE
GOVERNMENT OF KUWAIT SUPPORTS THE US OPERATION IN IRAQ "110

(b)( 1 )
6. ~ COMMENT. 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.

THE ALLEGATION BEING MADE IS THAT SADDA~l ENGAGED IN BRIBERY OF INDIVIDUALS IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES. THE AUTHORITIES IN THOSE ,. ~TRIES WILL BE THE ONES TO DECIDE WHETHER THESE ALLEGATIONS MERIT ~STIGATION AND/OR PROSECUTION UNDER THEIR LAWS. 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

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

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.

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!
Please forward to any addressees that I have missed because we neglected to get an attendance list circulated and let me know. Thanks muchl Susan Johnson 1112112003 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000019

Saturday, December 13, 2003 11 :41 AM Subject: INSPECTOR-GENERALS - informal draft paper Colleagues I had intended to distribute this morning the attached informal draft - which is, as it says, a 'working draft - for senior advisors only'. 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 .

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.

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.

~-I lid: Way Ahead on SUpplemental • How to get things for your Ministry Greetings: Forgive the shotgun approach. 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!

Last night, as a result of a meeting with Gary Vogler and others, the decision was made to direct KBR to immediately commence with the emergency importation of Diesel full into the Musel area. Please direct them today to proceed according to the guidance below. Regarding funding, the PRB approved $242,000,000 funding for imports on 1 September. An Economy Act Order Is in process. Until this order is issued KBR is not authorized to exceed their current NTE amount.
KBR guidance ...
KBR is directed to commence as soon as possible with the emergency importation of 2 million liters per day into the Mosul area for a period of 30 days. KBR is to follow-up this action within five calendar days of receipt of this letter. We understand that this may cause a temporary reduction in benzene imports of up to 1 million liters per day for a short period. Please provide daily status reports of the progress or executing this important emergency operation.

ODIII per our conversation - I am told that contact was made and information passed to Saudi MOl. Of course we need to sensitize people about the need to give some basic info to people within CPA that need to know and take some action.
Using military speak - perhaps an After Action Review would be in order so that we don't collectively have to go through an this next time around. For example, I am told that in fact these fellows are being held at Abu Gharib. This was the information that I first was able to obtain but which was subsequently denied.

I just had a long talk with[QJIW who does Global Oil Markets at Treasury. He felt CPA was biting off more than it (or I} could chew. 1 have encountered a real distrust of CPA capabilities here. but was a little taken aback that Austin was so negative about looking at the problem. He argued that one needs 200 consultants from McKinsey, otherwise you can't do anything. 1 noted that Rob McKee has done thiS stuff before at Conoco. I explained we were just putting together a scope or work of what needs to be done at which point he was more supportive. The (&shot, however, that no one is . looking at t~ in Washington. He gave me the name of[iDI at the the Department of Energy and~at the NSC. If you would, let me know if you want me to spend some time on this and I will write up another scope of work. I will emphasize explaining what other countries have done (establishing best practice) so that my piece could be used by Iraqis as well as CPA without raising hackles.

I would like to work on the issue very much. !like Rob McKee and would enjoy working with him. I have actually written a number of analyses of the commercialization of oil and gas companies in Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, and looked at some Russian companies}. I think the major problem may be coordination and information. I have some knowledge about the current organization of the Iraqi industry, but could use a lot more, especially regarding field location and capacity, pipeline location and capacity (crude and product), refinery location and capacity, terminal location and capacity, the filling station network and the current organizational and financial structure. 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. But I could definitely describe what other countries have done.
Ask Rob if he would be interested in having me work on it and also whether this information is easily available? 1 have a call in tobDlB who does Global Oil Markets at Treasury to find out what information is currently here.
On another matter, I will be briefing Brigadier General Rice and his group at CPA West the plan, planning and economic policy. I am currently working throughrmiB at State to contact the NSC staff. I will call John Simon again after Tuesday. I think I will learn quite a bit about the state of knowledge by briefing Rice, which will help make the NSC contact more productive.
Yesterday I went to the World Bank press conference on the Trust Fund. The amounts flowing through the Fund are likely to be small: The biggest donation committed to date is from the U.S. for $10 million. They did mention economic policies like raising fuel prices.
but in a very cautious way. I will e-mail (b )(6) today to try to establish contacts with people there.

SUbject: RE: Task from Bremer • KBR Gas Purchase Contract AI:
Your answer to the first question is exactly right. 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. · We are currently exploring the possibility of turning the fuel import mission over to the DLA's Defense Energy Support Center. That infonnation is close hold - KBR has not been Informed of this situation.

--Answers from me and TF RIO follow re KBR Gas Purchase Contract. BG Bob.Crear concurred this AM. AI a. Why can we not go to a longer term contract, beyond the current30-day contract for gas purchases?
Answer: We can, but of course, not agai#furreD.i::KBR contract, given "full and open competition" verbiage in the supp Conf Rpt. The PRB limited funding approvals to 30 days requirement because of (1) $magnitude of the requirement and pressures, considering other requirements on cash flow, {2) concern of coalition partners on the PRB about additional funding going to KBR, and (3) potential for funding of future purchases with appropriated funds.
b. If we could do this, how much would it save?
Answer: Suppliers tell us there can be substantial savings if we sign contrac for 4 months or more. Numbers thrown around have been on the order of 20-, 25%, but LJntil we actually obtain bids and sign a contract we cannot be certai TF RIO is exploring the possibility of turning the fuel import mission over to Defense Logistics Agency's Defense Energy Support Center (DESC). KEEP CLOSE HOLD- KBR has not been informed of this situation. Lastly, RIO advised me KBR has developed a significant and effective control system to hel safeguard distribution of oil imports. RIO is concerned about whether DESC an a new contractor will be able to quickly and effectively establish the necessary control system.

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. Please capture your Iraqi Ministry requirements on the first spreadsheet and your CPA staff requirements in the second. There is a tab at the bottom of the page for each of the ministries.

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. Please contact me if you have any questions.

For various reasons that I will not tire you with here, I have decided to temporarily merge the Borders and Hall Working Groups so propose that we meet TOMORROW, NOVEMBER 20 at 1530 In the Ministries Conference Room. 'will not be a meeting todamNov 19 of the drafting group unles.(l£ ]Wwants to hold one. om;. your can.
Comments and Updates:
1. On bilateral relations papers and IGC delegation: We have not been able to get information from ministers or GC members before the trip, so let us re-aim on getting feedback from each Minister and GC members on what they did or agreed to in Iran and Turkey. It appears that Syria declined to receive them this time.
2. Revision of Order 16: Can/should we get input from appropriate Ministries on Order 16 by showing them the draft or not? Please comment.
3. The Hajj: This has become the key "border" issue of the moment;
hence it seems to make sense to combine meetings for the time being.
The Iraqi Hajj Working Group has been meeting and taking decisions at the working level which will be pre&ented to the Ministers. Inter alia they have decided that they want to:
Ask the Saudis for a quota of 60,000 even if it is unlikely that the Saudis will agree;
Print 60,000 special Hajj Passports at the Central Bank, paid for by the Awqaf and issued by MOl; (Note that the MOl rep assured those present that this was no problem) Use the lottery system of selection;
Offer/Provide air charter transport unless the CPA refuses;
Pursue getting Saudi agreement to receive the Iraqi Hajj delegation by having FM Zebari call his counterpart; (is possibility of Talabani letter to Kind Fahd still a Jive option?)
4. MOT paper is done and I hope that we can discuss it at the meeting ~ Other comments and suggestions are welcome.

To recap what we covered at our November 15 meeting:
• Bilateral Relations Papers. 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 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 Please forward to any addreuees that I have missed because we neglected to get an attendance list circulated and let me know. Thanks much!

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. I have copied him on this message.

Thanks again for your hard work. Let me know if you have any questions about the MoEN FPS situation that I can answer.

Sent: Fri 1/912004 12:48 PM Ladles and Gentlemen, Urgent. 1AD has Transferred Authority to the Ministries. Attached is the spreadsheet used by 1AD that indicates by Ministry, who has been paid and who has not. A great number of FPS guards have not been paid for the month of December. This was discussed at the CAT Brief chaired by MOl and CJTF-7 and again at the TOA brief given 7 Jan to all Ministry Reps. Payments must be made ASAP. If assistance is needed, then the Ministry MUST notify CJTF-7 via MOl so 1 AD can be called back In to assist.
Every effort should be made for each Ministry to pay their own guards vice relying on 1 AD.

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.

• 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.

• They have started a public infonnation campaign, using TV and putting signs up at stations to let people know
• Imports are being increased, with fuel coming from Kuwait, Jordan and Syria.
Barges are being used and trucks will be escorted not only to the distribution points but also to gas stations to combat balck market sales.
• Government Gas stations will stay open for longer, some for 24hours Hope this helps, more to come I hope.

Subject: BAGHDAD GASOLINE DISTRIBUTION CRISIS The comment in this mornings meeting was not to point out the obvious gasoline problem. 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 .

-the $5mil Rodney Bent would make available immediately from seized assets to Rob McKee for energy repairs (done last nil!ht)

Ambassador Bremer would like a recommendation on whether we should sole-source a rapid pipeline repair capability as an urgent requirement by COB tomorrow.
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.
Thank you in advance,

1. We plan to have a meeting Saturday late afternoon for the CPA participants to go over our goals for the visit. I have no problem with the team you suggest. It is likely that we will field a large group for the border meetings which will probably take place on Monday morning.
2. I don't have a specific time for Sunday departure but estimate it will be around 9am or so. Can you make that?
3. Thanks for your objectives. Re point 1, these would seem achievable. Re point 2 I am not sure this will fly unless the KDP can come up with some additional gestures of goodwill. Stop flying KDP flag, and maybe some other things that we need to flush out. Re 3 and 4, what steps can be taken to reduce the amount of smuggling?
