@WHA
OPL would like our recommendation on Ambassadors to invite for the Hispanic Heritage Month event.
They have a list of Latin American countries that offered relief assistance following the hurricanes. Daniel's
email says 4-5 Ambassadors but I have warned him we might feel that more Ambassadors should be
invited. That being said, please look at the Jist below and let me know what you think is most appropriate.
Also note that Daniel mentions factoring in support for Iraq into our decision, I leave that up to you if you
think that is a relevant deciding factor.
John/Jed
Please verify thatthe list of countries from State below is correct when compared to your list of foreign aid
contributions.
Thank you-

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

the Asian tsunami have formally offered their assistance. Carlos has in front of him a list of the doctors and their
specialties. Carlos said he was only passing-this information to us "informally," and that was advised to refer the doctors to
ONEMI, who would continue to coordinate GOC offers of assistance. Carlos believes the doctors already have been in

The Chilean offer has been added to all of the inter-agency matrices. so it has been conveyed to the highest levels
FEMA is now evaluating all foreign aid offers. There is no timeline on their decision process. (Fernando thinks it will be
days - plural - before we can expect to hear anything.)
We are asked to hold with the previous message to the GOG.

I got a call around 1015 today from one of FM Walker's special assistant, Loreto Leyton today. Loreto said she had
just spoken with the FM. who had briefed her on a conversation he had last night with the Ambassador about Chile's
offer of assistance. Loreto told me that, according to the FM, the Ambassador said it would be OK for Chile to go
ahead and send the aircraft to the U.S. Loreto said she was calling (at the FM's request) to begin making preparations
for the ~ircraft to depart, and noted that it would be ready to go tomorrow.
I told Loreto that my understanding of the situation was different and told her what we had learned from the Task
Force (TF) yesterday, but said that I would check with the Ambassador to see if anything had changed since 1last saw
him at 1900 fast night, and get right back to her. I then talked to the Ambassador, who said he had delivered the same
message to the FM that the TF had given us, and that Sean had delivered to ONEMI. He advised me to get back in
touch with Loreto. to brief her, let here know that Sean had spoken with ONEMI, that ONEMI had indicated that it
understood, and to alert her to the Post article today titled "Offers of Aid Immediate, but U.S. ApprovalDelayed for

I then called Loreto back and delivered the Task Force's guidance and the other points from the Ambassador. She
said she understood and said she would brief the FM later this moming.

Here is what we know at this point (14:06) about the Chilean offer of assistance. Ambassador suggested we do a
DAR; do you want.to write it, or should we?
• This morning we passed FM Walker's office the list of items in need provided by the Department in State.
• Chile's Director of the National Emergency Office (ONEMI) called Acting DCM Sean Murphy this morning to report
that Chile is making preparations to send a Hercules aircraft to the U.S. Following are some of the highlights of
the supplies that the ONEMI official said would be included in the aircraft: 3,500 bottles of water; 40,000 diapers;
500 sheets/blankets; 200 body bags; and 5 water pumps. He noted Chile likely would provide other supplies as
well, noting that the Ministry of Health was looking to provide sheets, blankets and small bandages. We are
asking ONEMI to provide us a detailed list of the items Chile wisheslintends to provide. The ONEMI official said
the aircraft may depart Chile as early as Wednesday. September 7. .
• The ONEMI official asked us the following question" "Wherein the U.S. should the aircraft land?"

• FM Walker's office told me this morning (subsequent to Sean's call with ONEMI) that, according to the Chief of
Staff to Minister of Defense Ravinet, it was unlikely the Chilean aircraft would be able to depart Chile on
September 7. Thursday, September 8 was more likely, he said. Walker's special assistant said that ONEMI, in
close coordination and consultation with MOD and Ministry of Interior, is reviewing the list of items in need to see if
Chile can provide assistance other than the items listed in the second bullet.
We called the Task Force to pass along the details of the Chilean offer, and to relay ONEMl's question regarding
where to land. The TF's Scott Boswell asked us to go back to the GOC with the following:
(1) We greatly appreciate Chile's offer;

(2) It has been relayed to the highest levels of our government
(3) State, in conjunction with FEMA and other agencies, is weighing logistical and coordination efforts at the highest
levels;
(4) At present, ask that Chile not send the aircraft;
(5) The Task Force will get back to Post regarding the Chilean offer, possibly within the next couple of days;

foreign assistance. I relayed this information to the MFA this morning, together with the other talking points in the.

Offer of assistance from a Chilean doctor, relayed to us from the Government of Chile: (not an official
GOC offer, but more indirectly)
The Government of Chile, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, indicated to our poloff at the Embassy (Harry
Kamian, cc'ed) that one of the doctors that Chile sent to Asia to provide assistance following the tsunami
has offered to go to the U.S. and provide assistance, if necessary. Following the guidance in State
160019, Harry advised the MFA that the USG is not seeking foreign assistance at this moment, and asked
them to provide him the information so he could forward it to CMS.

I got a call from Carlos Moran this morning from the FM's office. He told me that the Chilean doctors who volunteered in»
the Asian tsunami have formally offered their assistance. Carlos has in front of him a list of the doctors and their
specialties. Carlos said he was only passing this information to us "informaity," and that was advised to refer the doctors to
ONEMI, who would continue to coordinate GOC offers of assistance. Carlos believes the doctors already have been in
touch with ONEMI. He said he would let us know if ONEMI intends to formally offer the doctors.
The Ambassador has been briefed.

I checked in with the Fernando Rojas at the Task Force at 1330. Not much new to report.
The Chilean offer has been added to all of the inter-agency matrices, so it ha~.been conveyed to the highest levels
FEMA is now evaluating all foreign aid offers. There is no time line on their decision process. (Fernando thinks it will be
days - plural - before we can expect to hear anything.) '\."
We are asked to hold with the previous message to the GOC.
Thank you for the generous offer, it has been conveyed, please take no further action for the time being.

I got a call around 1015 today from one of FM Walker's special assistant. Loreto Leyton today. Loreto said she had
just spoken with the FM, who had briefed her on a conversation he had last night with the Ambassador about Chile's :
offer of assistance. Loreto told me that, according to the FM, the Ambassador said it would be OK for Chile to go
ahead and send the aircraft to the U.S. Loreto said she was calling (at the FM's request) to begin making preparations
for the aircraft to depart, and noted that it would be ready to go tomorrow.
I told Loreto that my understanding of the situation was different and told her what we had learned from the Task
Force (TF) yesterday, but said that I would check with the Ambassador to see if anything had changed since I last saw
him at 1900 last night, and get right back to her. I then talked to the Ambassador, who said he had delivered the same
message to the FM that the TF had given us, and that Sean had delivered to ONEMI. He advised me to get back in
touch with Loreto, to brief her, let here know that Sean had spoken with ONEMI, that ONEMI had indicated that it
understood, and to alert her to the Post article today titled "Offers of Aid Immediate, but U.S. Approval Delayed for
Days."
I then called Loreto back and delivered the Task Force's guidance and the other points from the Ambassador. She
said she understood ano said she would brief the FM later this morning.

Here is what we know at this point (14:06) about the Chilean offer of assistance. Ambassador suggested we do a
DAR; do you want to write it, or should we?
• This morning we passed FM Walker's office the list of items in need provided by the Department in State.
.• C'i\ile's Oirector of t'i\e National E.mergency Office (ONEM\) callen ActingOCM Sean Mmph)! this morning to report
that Chile is making preparations to send a Hercules aircraft to the U.S. Following are some of the highlights of
the supplies that the ONEMI official said would be included in the aircraft: 3,500 bottles of water; 40,000 diapers;
500 sheets/blankets; 200 body bags; and 5 water pumps. He noted Chile likely would provide other supplies as
well, noting that the Ministry of Health was looking to provide sheets. blankets and small bandages. We are
asking ON EMI to provide us a detailed list of the items Chile wishes/intends to provide, The ONEMI official said
the aircraft may depart Chile as early as Wednesday, September 7.
• The ONEMI official asked us the following question" "Where in the U.S. should the aircraft land?"
UNCLASSIFIED
. UNCLASSIFIED
• FM Walker's office told me this morning (subsequent to Sean's call with ONEMI) that, according to the Chief of
Staff to Minister of Defense Ravinet, it was unlikely the Chilean aircraft would be able to depart Chile on
September 7, Thursday, September 8 was mere likely, he said, Walker's special assistant said that ONEMI, in
close coordination and consultation with MOD and Ministry of Interior, is reviewing the list of items in need to see if
Chile can provide assistance other than the items listed in the second bullet.
We called the Task Force to pass along the details of the Chilean offer, and to relay ONEMl's question regarding
where to land. The TF's Scott Boswell asked us to go back to the GOC with the following:
(1) We greatly appreciate Chile's offer;

(2) It has been relayed to the highest levels of our government
(3) State, in conjunction with FEMA and other agencies, is weighing logistical and coordination efforts at the highest
levels; .
(4) At present, ask that Chile not send the aircraft;
(5) The Task Force will get back to Post regarding the Chilean offer, possibly within the next couple of days;
AlDCM will call the MFA and ONEMI to relay the information we obtained from the Task Force, and to ask them to
provide us a detailed list of the items.
We will also send in this information via front channel.

GOe offer, but more indirectly)
The Government of Chile, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, indicated to our poloff at the Embassy (Harry
Kamian, cc'ed) that one of the doctors that Chile sent to Asia to provide assistance following the tsunami
has offered to go to the U.S. and provide assistance, if necessary. Following the guidance in State

Hey there Jacqueline,
Just want to confirm that the bandages are non-sterile. Once we kow that we can approve
your movement. If the bandages are sterile we'll need to have FDA personnel on hand to
approve them. At this point, are we still looking at LanChile into Miami and then a
domestic AA flight to either Dallas or Houston? (Please confirm which.} As discussed on
the phone, we await to hear the ETA asap tomorrow morning ... the earlier we can get the
flight info, the faster we can get things rolling on our end.
As soon as you have onward movement details to Little Rock can you please provide us with'
information about the carrier you are using to move the goods from Houston to Little Rock.
We will need the driver's name and social security number in order for them to enter the
base. .

to start speaking again tomorrow morning to examine possibilities for a Thursday evening
departure. They know we need confirmed flight numbers before we can grant final approval.

Subject: Embassy Santiago ~ Tuesday end-of-day report
ONEMI has called and provided us with the total size of their donation
shipment:
Weight - ~,OOO Kilos

Volume - 24 cubic meters
I have started to fill out OFDA's flight movement request form, but we are still missing
data on the smaller, detailed measurements. ONEMI said they would give us the rest of the
details on Wednesday morning.
At this point, they are looking to send this shipment to the U.S. on a LanChile flight
from Santiago to Miami and then transfer the pallet(s) to an American Airlines flight to
Dallas. They seem ready to go tomorrow evening (the flight leaves around 8:30 PM) but
they will not take any action until we give them the final go-ahead.
Questions for OFDA:
Once we fill in the blanks and send the final form to you, how long will you need to
approve?
They have also asked how and to whom this shipment should be addressed.
Do you have any guidance on that for us?
Thanks for all of your help - I will continue to be the Embassy POC on this, so don't
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks for working so hard on this.

If the gentleman involved would like to call our logistics office and clarify anything, he
is welcomed to do so. (We are a 24HR operation) I just want to make it clear that our
intention is to get the commodities to the recipients as soon as possible. Trucking this
to Dallas will unnecessarily delay this process. I prefer ,that they are onforwarded to
Dallas via air freight, but if that is not possible, then we will require that they get
shipped directly to Little Rock Air Force Base.
There is NO REASON to truck these commodities to Dallas due to the time frame required.

Thanks for Tricia in OFDA Logistics for work~ng through this with me all day today.
Just to recap:
- Sent Way Bill and packing List to OFDA Logistics
- Cargo was sent on a LanChile flight today (without final coordination with the Embassy)
Santiago - Miami Flight # UC 1104 - lands in Miami tonight at 12:40 AM
- There is all sorts of confusion about what happens to the shipment once it reaches
Miami. I just spoke with the Director of ONEMI, Alberto Maturana, and he did not seemed
concerned about this. Said they were going to look for a cargo company to ship it in
trucks from Miami to Dallas. No contact name for a cargo company, no ETA, nothing. I
said that we were concerned that it might get lost if it wasn't carefully tracked, but he
informed me that he has done rescue operations to 35 countries and had never lost a thing.
We are double-tracking ONEMI's response with the Foreign Ministry - but we don't
expect to receive any more information tonight.
I'll start in on this agairi tomorrow - but I will be on my cell phone if there are any
questions tonight.

1. Summary: Per Ref tel A request, Ambassador Kelly forwarded to Foreign Minister Walker
the list of requested forms of assistance for Hurricane Katrina relief operations. The
Chilean government, through their National Emergency Office, quickly responded with a list
of donations and the offer to deliver them to the u.S. in a GOC aircraft. End summary.
2. Ambassador Kelly provided Foreign Minister Walker's office with Ref tel A list of
requested donations. The FM's office forwarded this list to the GOC's point-of-contact
for disaster relief coordination, their National Emergency Office (ONEMI).
3. The Director of ONEMI, Dr. Alberto Maturana, contacted Acting DCM Sean Murphy this
afternoon to brief him on Chile's response. The GOC is preparing a shipment which will
include the following supplies:
3,500 bottles of water
40,000 diapers
500 sheets or blankets
200 body bags
5 water pumps
Maturana mentioned that additional supplies may be added to this list, including sheets,
blankets and small bandages from the Ministry of Health. A/DCM has asked that Maturana
DATE/CASE ID: 23 JAN 2007 200503991
UNCLASSIFIED
~ . UNCLASSIFIED
provide a written list of the Chilean donations.
4. The GOC has offered to fly these supplies to the u.s. on one of its own Hercules
aircraft and has asked where in the U.S. this plane should plan to land and off-load its
cargo.
ONEMI has said that the plane would be ready to depart on September 7, but Ministry of
Defense contacts say September 8 is a more realistic departure date.
5. Per Ref tel B, this information has been passed to S/ES-CMS Scott Boswell. Per
Boswell's instructions, A/DCM has:
thanked the GOC for its offer
assured the GOC that it has been relayed to the highest levels of the USG
informed the GOCthat a high-level inter-agency group is meeting' in the U.S. to

discuss logistics and coordination efforts
asked the GOC not/nbt to send the plane for the time being, but to stand-by for
further information in the next few days.
6. Note: The USG has worked closely with ONEMI in the past.
Since FY'02, us Embassy Santiago'S MilGroup has provided usn 84,000 in communications
equipment to help ONEMI maintain emergency contact with Chile's geographically isolated
communities. USAIO/OFDA has also provided training workshops on disaster preparedness to
a number of Chile's regional governmental offices. End Note.

Jacqueline. I don't have the time to research your question, but I seem to recall that we did not accept many, if any,
9/11 assistance .offers. This hurricane is different; it's so much bigger, and a very human- and resource-intensive
operation. This is a personal. not an official answer, and it's not for the press.

Hi Mike-
We have gotten a question here and I wonder if you have an answer. I was a Line Officer during September 11th
and I remember that we were assembling matrices of offers for assistance (resuce dogs, forensic scientists,etc.)
Did we actually wi~d upacceptlng foreign offers of assistance? I can't remember if we ever did. J
Thanks for your help!

Jacqueline, FEMA is not responding with alacrity to offers of assistance. A number of other WHA countries
are waiting for replies, in some cases far longer than is the case with Chile. There is supposed to be a
meeting this evening that, we hear, will produce a triage of offers that are to be accepted, rejected, or put on
hold. That's alii can tell you for now.
Cheers!

Hey there Jacqueline,
Just want to confirm that the bandages are non-sterile. Once we kow that we can approve
your movement. If the bandages are sterile we'll need to have FDA personnel on hand to
approve them. At this point, are we still looking at LanChile into Miami and then a
domestic AA flight to either Dallas or Houston? (Please confirm which.) As discussed on
the phone, we await to hear the ETA asap tomorrow morning ... the earlier we can get the
flight info, the faster we can'get things rolling on our end.
As soon as you have onward movement details to Little Rock can you please provide us with
information about the carrier you are using to move the goods from Houston to Little Rock.
We will need the driver's name and social security number in order for them to enter the
base.
Again, the address and contacts for the trucks are:

Subject: Embassy Santiago - Wednesday AM report
I have spoken with Alan in OFDA logistics this morning. In principal, we have agreed that
the shipment could go out tonight - pending final confirmation of shipment details and
flight numbers.
I have passed the OFDA's "consignee information" to Carmen Fernandez at ONEMI. They are
loading a truck this morning and will consult with LanChile on final flight details. They
will provide me with the final details later this morning, but we will all have to make a
final decision by 3:00 PM today - that is LanChile's cut-off for accepting freight.
Note: ONEMI is anxious to get the shipment out tonight because they already have a
tentative freight reservation with LanChi1e. We are also heading into a long weekend with
Chilean national holidays and many people will be leaving Santiago.
I
Action Plan for today:
- recieve completed flight movement request form from ONEMI

- confirm flight numbers to Miami and Dallas and pass~o OFDA
- recieve final permission for take-off from OFDA /
work with OFDA to confirm details of US Customs clearance and contractor who will
receive the Chilean shipment in Dallas.

Subject:· Embassy Santiago Thursday End-of-Day report
Thanks for Tricia in OFDA Logistics for working through this with me all day today.
Just to recap:
- Sent Way Bill and Packing List to OFDA Logistics
- Cargo was sent on a LanChile flight today (without final coordination with the Embassy)
Santiago - Miami Flight # UC 1104 - lands in Miami tonight at 12:40 AM
- There is all .sorts of confusion about what happens to the shipment once it reaches
Miami. I just spoke with the Director of ONEMI, Alberto Maturana, and he did not seemed
concerned about this. Said they were going to look for a cargo company to ship -it in
trucks from Miami to Dallas. No contact name for a cargo company, no ETA, nothing. I
said that we were concerned that it might get lost if it wasn't carefully tracked, but he
informed me that he has done rescue operations to 35 countries and had never lost a thing.
We are double-tracking ONEMI's response with.the Foreign Ministry - but we don't

expect to receive any more information tonight.
I'll start in on this again tomorrow - but I will be on my cell phone if there are any
questions tonight.
