CA/OCS and EAP/K held a one-hour conference call today with the families of the detained journalists. During the call, 1.4(D) we briefed the families on the Swedish Ambassador's consular visit with Ms. Ling and Ms. Lee on May 15; B1 recent progress on efforts to arrange the release of the two women; an update on the proposed letter from the Secretary;
1.4(B) 1 4(D) B1 Media: Although the families have thus far shown restraint from approaching the media to publicize their story, they are increasingly anxious in response to the DPRK's announcement of a June 4 trial date. They now feel that a media appeal is necessary and would be helpful to their case, citing the public attention given the Saberi case. They are considering doing interviews on Larry King Live and/or The O'Reilly Factor.

She is happy to come to Washington if you could make some time available. Is this something you would be prepared o do. Sheikha Moser is someone who has real influence in Qatar and she has made a lot of difference already with her education city and with the Shaffalah Centre for people with Disabilities in which I am involved as the Co Chair of its Annual Disability conference. I am sure the conversation would not be confined to these issues but would be about the US/Qatar relationship generally.

The email below from Sally Osberg, President of the Skoll Foundation reminds me that right after the Skoll Forum in Oxford, I wrote Cheryl indicating your interest in meeting with Jeff Skoll. I sent another email on this and a couple of other meetings I think important (Jacqueline Novogratz, Acumen) but have never heard anything from her. I really do think it would be valuable for you to meet Jeff Skoll, and to talk with Jacqueline about Pakistan, in particular, but Acumen more generally. Perhaps I should go through the public-private partnerships office?
Re if AID still isn't done, if he'd come in, you might consider whether he should be asked to undertake AID — he'd need a very good managerial #2 so he didn't get bogged down, but he was your first archetype of the kind of "moral authority" and leadership you wanted, and people would certainly perceive him to have been "worth the wait".

Hi Jan,
I also write to share that I spoke with this morning—he'd called early last week, but we finally connected today. A real honor to be one of the folks Is seeking out for counsel—and one I don't take lightly! As you undoubtedly know, he's been offered a new role in the Obama administration, reporting directly to Hillary, would oversee Of course, I encouraged him to do it (as have most of his students, and others). In our conversation, he referenced your talking to one another at the Skoll Forum, your describing the opportunity posed by Hillary's leadership—which would open space for an alliance of visionary leaders to advance a new development paradigm for engaging with the world.
As I thought about what I said to drawing upon my admiration for what another great social entrepreneur, John Gardner, contributed in his role as Lyndon Johnson's Secretary of HEW, which gave him a major hand in designing the Great Society and ushering in that great wave of civil rights legislation—I also wondered about you: specifically, your World Bank leadership role, and how you were able to leverage your entrepreneurial instincts and clear commitment to seeing investments translate into on-the-ground change while navigating a very large bureaucracy.

xpects to be in DC by Thursday, and my gut tells me he is on his way to accepting this extraordinary challenge, with the goal of reshaping aid policy so that it serves those the U.S. most needs as allies—those billions of women, men and children the world over whose hearts and minds can be won if they can eat, care for and support their families, find real reason to hope. My hope, to be perfectly clear!, is that you will be a friend to as he navigates a system he has challenged and finds ways to drive meaningful, sustainable change. I don't really know, but my sense is that your hand is already at work here. I also shared with him that you were working on the possibility of Hillary's speaking at next year's Skoll Forum; he immediately said that Hillary, he and you should go together. How amazing would that be???!!!
connected with Finally, ver Elizabeth Bagley's upcoming visit to the Bay Area; and I will meet with her when she's out here—if you have any guidance, I'd welcome it: I'm sure you know her and have a sense of what some possible connections might be.

Dear Margo and Jill,
I'm writing to see if you might help me secure a meeting with Secretary Clinton to talk about my ideas for a $500 million Global Innovation Fund that invests in "what works" in international development and would complement the work President Obama is doing with his domestically-focused Social Innovation Fund.
The world needs a new vision for development. This is the moment for experimentation and a new commitment to innovation and change. The U.S. spent $23.5 billion on foreign assistance in 2006. If we experimented with just $500 million to invest capital and technical assistance in social enterprises focused on results, accountability and scale, we UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758560 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758560 Date: 06/30/2015
could build real blueprints for change. At Acumen Fund we see so many impactful and promising innovations; the State Department would be a powerful partner in scaling those successes.
A global social innovation fund would be particularly impactful in Pakistan. The U.S. may commit $11.5 billion over five years to Pakistan, and it is critical that we look closely at how we might spend that money. In Acumen Fund's seven years working in Pakistan we have found that models for change exist, and we have built a powerful community of entrepreneurs and supporters within Pakistan. As you know we have invested in organizations like Saiban, which has provided low-cost housing to more than 60,000. There is FMIA, a joint venture that has sold more than 30,000 health insurance policies. And Kashf, a microfinance institution serving more than 300,000 poor women by making small loans to help themselves change their own lives. The challenge is to grow these solutions from reaching hundreds of thousands to the millions most in need.
I believe this kind of investment in Pakistan is the "smart power" that Secretary Clinton referred to in her speech at the Global Philanthropy Forum. She has an incredible vision and Acumen Fund would love to find ways to support her.
Anything you could do would be truly appreciated. And do let me know anything I can do on this end as I feel a deep sense of urgency and want to do all I can to contribute.
Thanks so much,
Jacqueline

Brian, First, thanks for a nice family morning and for breakfast. Always fun, always interesting and always fulfilling. Below is a sample of the kind of emails I sent to various people (studio heads; Dan Glickman; etc), which have started to generate concern, interest and action. AJC is also active on other fronts, as well. Just below the email you will find the news item which first called this abomination to my attention. I hope you can enlist Hilary's support (and please give her my personal best). We need, for many reasons, to have the US protest and condemn this outrageous boycott and to oppose the anti-Semitism inherent in it; cf Durban. The organizers of the festival must be convinced to reverse themselves. This, because of the inherent wrongness of it and that if it succeeds, it will encourage and motivate those who fomented the boycott to other, probably even worse, action. For example, there is in effect or pending (I am not certain which) a UK-Israeli treaty on film production; we should cut off at the pass any attempts to derail it.

Our Embassy in London does not yet have our Ambassador. The charge d'affaires is Robert Lebaron who I hope will receive appropriate instructions from DOS. If he acts quickly, it is likely that other nations will follow suit; again, compare Durban. This is truly appalling and serious and I earnestly solicit your assistance with the Secretary, and through you my earnest solicitation of her assistance. With appreciation and love, Bruce PS Naturally, you are free to share this email.
Dear Michael, This is disgusting and outrageous. If you have any films in the festival or can lean on anyone else who does, please get them withdrawn. We would not boycott the films of any other nation, even those we consider outlaws. Neither should they. And they should learn that boycotts beget boycotts. Thanks for whatever help you can be. Warmest regards. Bruce

Edinburgh film festival bows to pressure from Ken Loach over Israeli boycott
Mike Wade A row threatened to engulf the Edinburgh International Film Festival yesterday after it bowed to pressure from the director Ken Loach and returned a £300 grant it had received from the Israeli Embassy. 'Sir Jeremy Isaacs, the former chief executive of Channel Four, accused the festival's organisers of making "an appalling decision" and called on them to rescind it. Describing Loach's intervention as an act of censorship, he said: "They must not allow someone who has no real position, no rock to stand on, to interfere with their programming." The grant was intended to enable Tali Shalom Ezer, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, to travel to Scotland for a screening of her film, Surrogate. After days of protest against the award from pro-Palestinian organisations, Loach, an outspoken opponent of Israel's policies in Lebanon and Gaza, urged filmgoers on Monday to boycott Edinburgh. "The massacres and state terrorism in Gaza make this money unacceptable," he said. "With regret, I must urge all who might consider visiting the festival to show their support for the Palestinian nation and stay away."

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758579 Date: 06/30/2015
The intervention brought an immediate capitulation from the organisers. In a statement the festival said it accepted that Loach spoke "on behalf of the film community, therefore we will be returning the funding issued by the Israeli Embassy". Sir Jeremy said that he was disgusted both by Loach's actions and by the capitulation of the festival organisers. "Ken Loach has always been critical of censorship of his own work, albeit it was many years in the past. The idea that he should lend himself to the denial of a film-maker's right to show her work is absolutely appalling," he said. He was "equally horrified" that festival organisers should accept that Loach was speaking on behalf of all British film-makers. Sir Jeremy worked closely with Loach in the 1980s when, as chief executive of Channel Four, he commissioned a number of controversial documentaries from him. One, A Question of Leadership, was made in 1981 but never broadcast, leading to accusations of political censorship from Loach. The irony of the director's present position was all the more obvious, given the spirit of the Edinburgh festival, Sir Jeremy said. "It must be good for cinemagoers at an international film festival to see films by Jews, Arabs, Israelis and Palestinians, to the benefit of all," he said. "I have admired the Edinburgh International Film Festival for many years and would like to think that this appalling decision will be rescinded." Loach's acclaimed new film Looking for Eric has made him the toast of the Cannes Film Festival. It is, uncharacteristically, a comedy, although its lead character is an authentic Loach creation — a Mancunian postman who goes off in search of his idol, the footballer Eric Cantona. Ezer's film makes no reference to war or politics. It is a romance set in a sex-therapy clinic. It won the audience award at an international women's film festival in Israel recently. Lord Janner of Braunstone, a Labour peer and former chairman of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, said that he was disappointed by the festival's decision. "By banning the Israeli Embassy from supporting a film-maker the festival is helping to exclude Israelis from British cultural life, something that is clearly unfair." Last night a spokesman for the EIFF said that although it had returned £300 to the Israeli Embassy, the festival itself would fund Ms Shalom-Ezer's travel to Edinburgh out of its own budget

Brian, First, thanks for a nice family morning and for breakfast. Always fun, always interesting and always fulfilling. Below is a sample of the kind of emails I sent to various people (studio heads; Dan Glickman; etc), which have started to generate concern, interest and action. AJC is also active on other fronts, as well. Just below the email you will find the news item which first called this abomination to my attention. I hope you can enlist Hilary's support (and please give her my personal best). We need, for many reasons, to have the US protest and condemn this outrageous boycott and to oppose the anti-Semitism inherent in it; cf Durban. The organizers of the festival must be convinced to reverse themselves. This, because of the inherent wrongness of it and that if it succeeds, it will encourage and motivate those who fomented the boycott to other, probably even worse, action. For example, there is in effect or pending (I am not certain which) a UK-Israeli treaty on film production; we should cut off at the pass any attempts to derail it. Our Embassy in London does not yet have our Ambassador. The charge d'affaires is Robert Lebaron who I hope will receive appropriate instructions from DOS. If he acts quickly, it is likely that other nations will follow suit; again, compare Durban. This is truly appalling and serious and I earnestly solicit your assistance with the Secretary, and through you my earnest solicitation of her assistance. With appreciation and love, Bruce PS Naturally, you are free to share this email.
Dear Michael, This is disgusting and outrageous. If you have any films in the festival or can lean on anyone else who does, please get them withdrawn. We would not boycott the films of any other nation, even those we consider outlaws. Neither should they. And they should learn that boycotts beget boycotts. Thanks for whatever help you can be. Warmest regards. Bruce

Edinburgh film festival bows to pressure from Ken Loach over Israeli boycott

Mike Wade A row threatened to engulf the Edinburgh International Film Festival yesterday after it bowed to pressure from the director Ken Loach and returned a £300 grant it had received from the Israeli Embassy. Sir Jeremy Isaacs, the former chief executive of Channel Four, accused the festival's organisers of making "an appalling decision" and called on them to rescind it. Describing Loach's intervention as an act of censorship, he said: "They must not allow someone who has no real position, no rock to stand on, to interfere with their programming." The grant was intended to enable Tali Shalom Ezer, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, to travel to Scotland for a screening of her film, Surrogate. „ After days of protest against the award from pro-Palestinian organisations, Loach, an outspoken opponent of Israel's policies in Lebanon and Gaza, urged filmgoers on Monday to boycott Edinburgh. "The massacres and state terrorism in Gaza make this money unacceptable," he said. "With regret, I must urge all who might consider visiting the festival to show their support for the Palestinian nation and stay away." The intervention brought an immediate capitulation from the organisers. In a statement the festival said it accepted that Loach spoke "on behalf of the film community, therefore we will be returning the funding issued by the Israeli Embassy". Sir Jeremy said that he was disgusted both by Loach's actions and by the capitulation of the festival organisers. "Ken Loach has always been critical of censorship of his own work, albeit it was many years in the past. The idea that he should lend himself to the denial of a film-maker's right to show her work is absolutely appalling," he said. He was "equally horrified" that festival organisers should accept that Loach was speaking on behalf of all British film-makers.

I think this is very good. I really like the emphasis on security, which is part of her brand, and very relevant (I always have in the back of my mind the possibility that great tragedy will strike again, so we need to prepared to deal with that reality, should it come about some day). I like combining that with the notion of prosperity and humanity, which together covers so much ground - from economic development to human rights. A couple miscl thoughts -- in terms of promoting prosperity/economic development, might there be a reason to technological advancement (giving people access to education and technological tools that can help them in terms of both education and access to social networks and other avenues for advancement). You do reference education in the development arena, and in prosperity, so that's good). - there isn't much here mentioning democratization, freedom, etc. I know that is probably dicey given the multitude of governments we want to partner with that aren't ready to talk that talk, but still think it needs to be incorporated in some aspect of a mission statement. - really like strong reference to women as a key to economic and social stabilization. That ties into her "brand" and into a reality. I know when the First Ladies of Africa came out here to LA, one of the desires was to try to draw them into an alliance that might transcend their own national differences and create cross-border force for positive change.

It can be either a powerful force of positive change, or it can get in the way of progress, depending on how it's used or abused, but to the extent allowed Constitutionally, the power of religion should be encouraged in the direction of alliances and partnerships of progress. - as I think about Kennan's "containment" doctrine a little further - in some ways it can be reapplied to extremism, meaning that our goal should be to contain not Communism this time, but extremist ideology whereever it exists, and just as Kennan supported, development is one of the ways to build those walls of containment around a dangerous ideology. We want to contain extremist, nihilistic, violent ideologies and movements whereever they might take root, and a good way to do that is to focus on development, on women, on technology, on education. The power of diplomacy rests on two foundations. On the one hand, there is the reality and potentiality of military force. Without having the capacity to defend, and to project force, diplomacy is inherently weak and ineffectual. On the other hand, development is the other foundation upon which successful diplomacy can be built. It's the carrot to the military's stick. And the State Department has an integral role to play in both the diplomatic and developmental parts of that tripod (while also being understanding of, and when necessary supportive of, implementing the military part). The connective tissue of security, prosperity and humanity is, as you suggest, "purpose," or more prosaically "morality." Morals. It is immoral for people to live in fear, to be unprotected, to be subject to harm and death. It is immoral for people's human rights to be violated, to not have access to education and heatlh. And it is immoral to be denied the opportunity to grow, to create a better future for children, etc. To let, as Roy has said, every child to live up to his or her God-given potential. one last point - on shared humanity, perhaps protecting the natural resources of the Earth - environmentalism - should be referenced along with health and human rights. It's part of the underpinning of our international morality and the kind of partnership we need to solve global warming, etc.

Of all his transition choices, none was easier to make, or more complex to execute, than Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. Obama had long wanted his former rival on his team, no matter what his friends and aides said about her aggressive campaign... His staff opposed the idea for the most part, arguing that Clinton would never be truly loyal. But Obama was willing to leave the primaries behind, including his own strong feelings at the time. "I don't hold grudges," he told his aides. "I don't worry about the past. I'm concerned about what happens now. If she can help me and Bill Clinton isn't too much of a liability, we should seriously look at this." ...
Obama was under no illusion about the legacy of the long primary season. During one transition meeting, Obama said he wanted to offer Clinton the diplomatic job. "I'm really interested in pursuing this, but I know she has some hard feelings coming out of this campaign." Emanuel and John Podesta, the former Clinton official who ran the transition, assured Obama that she was over those hard feelings now. Obama smiled and said, "Believe me. She's not over it yet." His decision to offer her the job of secretary of state came surprisingly early. Well before the end of the primaries, when his staff and friends still felt hostile to her, Obama decided that Clinton possessed the qualities to carry his diplomacy to the rest of the world. "We actually thought during the primary, when we were pretty sure we were going to win, that she could end up being a very effective secretary of state," he told me later. "I felt that she was disciplined, that she was precise, that she was smart as a whip, and that she would present a really strong image to the world...I had that mapped out." Recruiting and managing a team of rivals would not be easy, and Clinton came with her own set of issues. Chief among them was her campaign debt, which she wanted eliminated before she took the job of secretary of state. Would the president-elect go out and help her to do so? "I'm not begging her to take this job," Obama told his senior aides. "If she • wants it, I could help. But I'm not willing to go out in these difficult economic times to do a flashy fundraiser in California." As it happened, plenty of people in the Senate were begging Obama to offer Clinton the job.

believed that many Senate Democrats thought Clinton had extended her presidential campaign far beyond the point where she had lost the election. Her negative advertising wasted Democratic money, threatened to undermine the party's nominee, and suggested that she was disloyal to the party. They were unwilling to offer the junior New York senator a position ahead of her lowly rank, and she stood little chance of becoming majority leader. "There was a lot of encouragement from inside the Senate to get her into this job," said one senior Obama aide. "They wanted her out of there." ... As for controlling the uncontrollable Bill Clinton, Obama's aides drew up a series of checks on his fundraising for both Clinton Global Initiative and his work on HIV/AIDS across the world. But they really counted on Hillary to be the ultimate safeguard - against both her husband and her own ambition. "It's in her interests to keep him in line," warned one senior Obama aide. Others in Obama's inner circle said the president-elect believed Clinton needed to demonstrate that she was a team player and to shape her own career and legacy. "There are plenty who don't trust her and think she still harbors something," said another senior adviser. "It's still potentially problematic down the road. Barack's thinking on this is that it's not in her interests to mess with us. She can't win that fight internally and she's smart enough that she won't want that fight publicly." Several weeks into the administration, even Clinton's internal critics believed the relationship was a success. "They have both worked really hard at it," said one senior White House official. "There's a natural affinity and respect that ironically grew out of being opponents. You get to know someone really well after all that."

Dear Cheryl
Following a few discussions with Dick Gephardt - I have pleasure in laying out fairly detailed information about a conference that is being held in Demark on 3-4 December 2009.
We have made the note reasonably in-depth so hopefully will provide you with sufficient background. The organisers of the event which are ATP - the largest Danish Pension Fund and the Climate Consortium Denmark are being sponsored and backed by the Danish government and they were very hopeful that Hillary would be able to be the key note speaker at the conference for reasons that they have identified in the attached briefing document.
We were hoping to establish whether this event would be of interest for Hillary to appear and if she was available we would then arrange for the formal invite to be sent out by the Danish Government.
If we can provide any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
With very Best wishes Nigel

A year later, Hillary wins
A year ago today, the final set of primaries made official the foregone conclusion that Barack Obama had won the primary, and Hillary Clinton lost it. There's far too much going on today to dwell on an anniversary, but it does seem worth noting one particular piece of news in its light: On the central health care policy debate of the Democratic Primary -- which was, to be fair, conducted within a fairly narrow frame -- Obama appears to have conceded today to a Senate plan likely to more closely resemble Clinton's. In a dense, careful letter to Ted Kennedy nd Max Baucus, Obama offered his principles for a health care plan and conceded on a central point: He is now open to an individual mandate, which he campaigned against, and which is now being talked about by Senators of both parties with the buzzword "shared responsibility." Obama still backs a "hardship waiver" for people unable to afford the mandate -- which is consistent with the core of his objection to the mandate. But what he cast as a principled difference of approach -- was the problem merely that people couldn't afford insurance? or something more? -- seems to have been conceded. Here's the relevant paragraph: I understand the Committees are moving towards a principle of shared responsibility -- making every American responsible for having health insurance coverage, and asking that employers share in the cost. I share the goal of ending lapses and gaps in coverage that make us less healthy and drive up everyone's costs, and I am open to your ideas on shared responsibility. But I believe if we are going to make people responsible for owning health insurance, we must make health care affordable. If we do end up with a system where people are responsible for their own insurance, we UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758701 Date: 06/3072015

Pls print. Original Messar From: Burns Strider To: H Sent: Mon Jun 08 11:48:31 2009 Subject: this is going today to 5.4 million Americans... (signed by General John Watkins) National Security Threats Posed by Climate Change and Our Dependence on Foreign Oil Dear, I've spent my entire life working to keep America safe. That is why I feel compelled to add my voice to the growing number of senior U.S. generals, admirals, and veterans calling for immediate actions to address the alarming national security threats posed by climate change and our dependence on foreign oil. We import over half our oil from countries that are hostile to us. Last year, we paid over $255 BILLION to Middle Eastern countries that are the primary funders for terrorists groups like Al Qaeda and to Russia and Venezuela. The U.S. consumes more energy than any other country in the world, so increased U.S. fuel efficiency standards and reliance on renewable energy will directly affect not only our own economic prosperity, but world energy prices as well. That matters because when the cost of a barrel of crude oil increases $10, the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran gets $15 billion more, Putin in Russia gets an extra $36 billion, and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela gets an additional $10 billion to prop up his anti-American regime. Furthermore, since the military is the largest energy consumer in the U.S., that same $10/barrel increase means DoD has to spend $1.3 billion more on fuel, which is equal to the entire procurement budget for the Marine Corps. But our reliance on foreign oil does more than fund our enemies. The droughts, famines, and rising sea levels caused by climate change pose perhaps the greatest destabilizing influence the world will face over the next 50 years. Forty percent of the world's population gets its drinking water from mountain glaciers that could disappear within decades. Without forceful and decisive action, conflict will likely erupt among climate refugees competing for dwindling resources and political destabilization will create ungoverned spaces where terrorists can flourish. These effects were seen in Afghanistan in the 1990s and are currently being experienced in Somalia and Darfur, were genocide erupted following the drying of Lake Chad, leaving 300,000 dead. We must act now. A huge coalition of faith and military leaders have joined together to support efforts in Congress to pass effective climate change legislation this year. We need you to add your voice to ours by taking 1 minute to encourage your Member of Congress to support this effort. Please click here to email or call your Representative.

Kyrgyzstan rejects Obama "cooperation" offer U.S. President Obama has sent a personal appeal to Kyrgyzstan proposing ways to discuss "expanding cooperation".
Kyrgyzstan will not reverse its decision to close a U.S. military air base which is used to supply American troops for Afghanistan occupation, Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbayev said on Thursday. U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a personal appeal to Kyrgyzstan proposing ways to discuss "expanding cooperation". But Bakiyev's office said in a statement it had received a letter from Obama praising bilateral relations. "Moreover, Barack Obama expressed hope to further strengthen various forms of cooperation between the United States and Kyrgyzstan," the statement said without mentioning the air base issue. "The decision to annul all agreements on the Manas military air base has been taken and there is no turning back on this," he told the 24.kg news agency.

Kudos to Jonathan Prince for getting this written and placed. The Settlements Facts
By Daniel Kurtzer Sunday, June 14, 2009
Faulty analysis of the Israeli settlement issue is being passed off as fact. Charles Krauthammer's June 5 column, "The Settlements Myth ," is one example. Here are the facts: In 2003, the Israeli government accepted, with some reservations, the "road map" for peace, which imposed two requirements on Israel regarding settlements: "GOI [Government of Israel] immediately dismantles settlement outposts erected since March 2001. Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements)." Today, Israel maintains that three events -- namely, draft understandings discussed in 2003 between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and U.S. deputy national security adviser Stephen Hadley; President George W. Bush's April 14, 2004, letter to Sharon; and an April 14 letter from Sharon adviser Dov Weissglas to national security adviser Condoleezza Rice -constitute a formal understanding in which the United States accepted continuing Israeli building within the "construction line" of settlements. The problem is that there was no such understanding. The first event the Israelis cite is the 2003 discussions on a four-part draft that included the notion that construction within settlements might be permitted if confined to the already built-up areas of the settlements. The idea was to draw a line around the outer perimeter of built-up areas in settlements and to allow building only inside that line. This draft was never codified, and no effort was made then to define the line around the built-up areas of settlements.

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05758778 Date: 06/30/2015
Nonetheless, Israel began to act largely in accordance with its own reading of these provisions, probably believing that U.S. silence conferred assent. Second, President Bush's 2004 letter conveyed U.S. support of an agreed outcome of negotiations in which Israel would retain "existing major Israeli population centers" in the West Bank "on the basis of mutually agreed changes ...." One of the key provisions of this letter was that U.S. support for Israel's retaining some settlements was predicated on there being an "agreed outcome" of negotiations. Despite Israel's contention that this letter allowed it to continue building in the large settlement blocs of Ariel, Maale Adumim and Gush Etzion, the letter did not convey any U.S. support for or understanding of Israeli settlement activities in these or other areas in the run-up to a peace agreement. In his 2004 letter to Rice, Weissglas addressed the issue of the "construction line," saying that "within the agreed principles of settlement activities, an effort will be made in the next few days to have a better definition of the construction line of settlements in Judea & Samaria." However, there never were any "agreed principles of settlement activities." Moreover, the effort to define the "construction line" was never consummated: Israel and the United States discussed briefly but did not reach agreement on the definition of the construction line of settlements. Weissglas's letter also promised "continuous action" to remove all the unauthorized outposts, but Israel removed almost none of them. Throughout this period, the Bush administration did not regularly protest Israel's continuing settlement activity. But this is very different from arguing that the United States agreed with it. In recent days, former senior Bush administration officials have told journalists on background that no understandings existed with Israel regarding continued settlement activity. Commentators also focus on the Obama administration's reiteration that a freeze must include the "natural growth" of settlements. Krauthammer says that this "means strangling to death the thriving towns close to the 1949 armistice line. .. It means no increase in population. Which means no babies." This is nonsense. No one suggests that Israelis stop having babies. Rather, the blessing of a new baby does not translate into a right to build more apartments or houses in settlements. The two issues have nothing to do with each other. Israelis, like Americans, move all the time when life circumstances -- children, jobs, housing availability -- change. The pattern of population growth in the territories actually undercuts the natural-growth argument. Since 1993, when Israel signed the Oslo Accords, Israel's West Bank settler population has grown from 116,300 to 289,600. The numbers in East Jerusalem increased from 152,800 to more than 186,000. This goes far beyond the natural increase of families already living in the settlements. Inserting the provision of "natural growth" in official documents started with the 2001 Mitchell Report and the 2003 "road map," reflecting recognition that the concept was being abused as a justification for expanding settlements. The Obama administration is pursuing policies that every administration since 1967 has articulated -- that settlements jeopardize the possibility of achieving peace and thus settlement activity should stop. This does not diminish the Palestinians' responsibilities, especially their commitment to stop violence and terrorism and uproot terrorist infrastructure. President Obama emphasized this in his Cairo speech. But Palestinian failures in no way justify Israeli failure to implement their road map commitments with respect to settlements and outposts. It is time for Israel to freeze all settlement activity and dismantle the unauthorized outposts. The writer, U.S. ambassador to Israel from 2001 to 2005, is a visiting professor of Middle East policy studies at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Dear Cheryl and Susan, I am pleased to inform you that following two long conference calls with the Holocaust Survivors' Foundation and Sam Dubbin, their lawyer, and with the timely intervention of Congressman Robert Wexler, the Foundation has sent the letter below by FAX to Secretary Clinton, withdrawing their objection and supporting my efforts. It was clear from the call that they are to all the major Jewish organizations, from the American Jewish Committee and ADL to the Jewish Claims Conference.

With reference to our letter dated June 19, 2009, on behalf of the Holocaust Survivors Foundation USA, Inc. (HSF), I would like to state that based on conversations that took place in the intervening time period between Ambassador Eizenstat and the leadership of the HSF, and the commitments he made to our leaders, we are no longer asking that he be replaced as the head of the U.S. delegation to the Prague Conference taking place on June 26-30.
On behalf of all of the survivors for whom we have been fighting over the last decade, including tens of thousands in desperate need, we wish Ambassador Eizenstat the best of success as the head of the United States delegation at the Conference, as well as in the follow-up activities that we understand will occur on matters affecting Holocaust survivors' rights and interests.
Sincerely,
David Schaecter

sbwhoeop Monday, June 8, 2009 2:57 PM Gordon survives...
The Parliamentary Labour Party meeting is just Over. Gordon has survived. The event, held in private, was high drama and anticlimax at once. The chair asked for rebels to come forward and speak. Only one prominent person emerged, Charles Clarke, former Home Secretary and Blairite; the rest were a handful of about a half-dozen backbenchers. Their remarks about how Brown was bringing the party down were poorly received. The party, after all, was in no mood for breaking ranks and rewarding disloyalty. With this paltry showing, the opposition petered out, at least for now. Gordon then gave a speech, strong on analysis, discussing that his government was paying the price for getting the country through a difficult recession, suffering from the worst parliamentary crisis since Lloyd George and still had a program to offer. He also make the point that when the party had split int he past it was over ideology or policy and there were no stated differences presented by the opposition. So for now, Gordon has won. Sid

Secretary Clinton's remarks at her Friday press conference with the Turkish Foreign Minister continued this Administration's excellent efforts to restore the credibility of the U.S. with Greece and Cyprus — which will lead to important progress in the region. As you know, the Bush Administration consistently hid and defended actions by Turkey that were injurious to Cyprus and Greece, inconsistent with American values and principals, and also not in Turkey's best interests. We highlighted for the top leaders in our community that Secretary Clinton once again in front of the Turkish Foreign Minister, called for a "bi-zonal and bi-communal federation" for Cyprus as well as expressed the United States' strong support for "freedom of religion." With Secretary Clinton and others doing these kinds of things, America is moving to correct the biggest road block to a Cyprus settlement — restoring American credibility with the Greek-Cypriots which was badly lost during the Bush Administration. Keep up the great work! Andy Manatos and Mike Manatos

Remarks With Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu Hillary Rodham Clinton Secretary of State Treaty Room Washington, DC June 5, 2009 SECRETARY CLINTON: Good afternoon. Minister Davutoglu and I just had a very productive, broad-ranging, comprehensive discussion. And it is a great privilege to welcome him here to the State Department within the very first weeks of his having been appointed foreign minister. Of course, I was very honored to have gone to Turkey very early in my term as Secretary of State, and President Obama had a wonderful visit to Turkey. And all of that is to confirm the strength and importance of our partnership and alliance. We have a lot of work to do together. Turkey, the United States, and the entire global community certainly face a great number of challenges, but we also see opportunities. So our message coming out of the meeting today and our prior meetings is that we're going to deepen and strengthen our cooperation on an ongoing basis, because we believe that both Turkey and the United States have unique roles to play.

Now, we obviously already collaborate. Not only are we both members of NATO, but we are working with the G-20 to respond to the global economic crisis, we're exploring ways to enhance our trade and commerce between our two countries, we're working to develop new energy sources, including resources from the Caucasus and Central Asia. We're partners in the fight against global terrorism. We share the goal of a stable Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to deny al-Qaida safe haven that can threaten our countries and many others. We support Turkey in its fight against the terrorist activities of the PKK, which has been a very important cooperation. And I underscored again today the United States' strong support for Turkey's bid to become a member of the European Union. Turkey has made significant progress toward membership. It's been in a process of reform that is generated by its own internal decisions but which has certainly responded to many of the concerns regarding the strength of the bid that Turkey had. And so we applaud what Turkey has already done and pledge our efforts to continue working with Turkey. And so we ranged across a broad number of issues, and I want to just make a special note. As President Obama said yesterday in Cairo, the United States is committed to broad engagement with Muslims everywhere across the globe based on mutual interests and mutual respect. We believe strongly in the freedom of religion and expression, in vibrant civil societies, and we know that those are values that Turkey shares. And I want to thank the minister and his government for the role that Turkey plays as a force for peace and stability. This is important, and it's already been demonstrated in the work that Turkey has done for a number of years and continues with respect to comprehensive peace in the Middle East. And we are strongly supportive of the Turkish efforts to normalize relations with Armenia, and we are also very strongly supportive of the efforts to resolve the Nagomo-Karabakh conflict. We discussed Cyprus, which is an issue that the President also addressed when he was in Turkey in April. The two Cypriot leaders have an opportunity through their commitment to negotiations under the United Nations Good Offices Missions, and the United States is willina to help the parties. We want to work toward a settlement that reunifies Cyprus into a bi-zonal and bi-communal federation. We discussed many, many concerns, and I'm just grateful for the commitment by the minister and by his government to play an active role in our dynamic world. Our relationship is not just about security; it is about seizing these opportunities, and I look forward to working with you.

to get the right people to answer the specific questions you asked about previous agreements. In regard to the plan memo, we will have a more detailed plan for you tomorrow. We have been waiting for the recommendations of the new structural group that was set up in NYC last Friday afternoon (Lanny, the Chamber of Commerce, the Committee of 100, and others). We are getting a de-brief on their plans and new structure tomorrow. In our calls to GE's Jeff Immelt, the Chamber, and others we learned that it would not be viable to get 20 CEO's into Washington with such short notice. The Secretary called us in last Friday and said that she was game for doing some additional calls which everyone in the business community thinks is a more efficient way to get this done. We are holding a meeting on Friday with the business community (up to 75 Washington reps) and would follow it up with individual assignments. We could still build an event with CEOs around late July Strategic Dialogue. We will get you a more detailed plan with all of the potential events and assignments.

The Settlements Facts
•
By Daniel Kurtzer Sunday, June 14, 2009
Faulty analysis of the Israeli settlement issue is being passed off as fact. Charles Krauthanuner's June 5 column, "The Settlements Myth," is one example. Here are the facts: In 2003, the Israeli government accepted, with some reservations, the "road map" for peace, which imposed two requirements on Israel regarding settlements: "GO! [Government of Israel] immediately dismantles settlement outposts erected since March 2001. Consistent with the Mitchell Report, GOI freezes all settlement activity (including natural growth of settlements)." Today, Israel maintains that three events -- namely, draft understandings discussed in 2003 between Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and U.S. deputy national security adviser Stephen Hadley; President George W. Bush's April 14, 2004, letter to Sharon; and an April 14 letter from Sharon adviser Dov Weissglas to national security adviser Condoleezza Rice -- constitute a formal understanding in which the United States accepted continuing Israeli building within the "construction line" of settlements. The problem is that there was no such understanding. The first event the Israelis cite is the 2003 discussions on a four-part draft that included the notion that construction within settlements might be permitted if confined to the already built-up areas of the settlements. The idea was to draw a line around the outer perimeter of built-up areas in settlements and to allow building only inside that line. This draft was never codified, and no effort was made then to define the line around the built-up areas of settlements. Nonetheless, Israel began to act largely in accordance with its own reading of these provisions, probably believing that U.S. silence conferred assent. Second, President Bush's 2004 letter conveyed U.S. support of an agreed outcome of negotiations in which Israel would retain "existing major Israeli population centers" in the West Bank "on the basis of mutually agreed changes. . . ." One of the key provisions of this letter was that U.S. support for Israel's retaining some settlements was predicated on there being an "agreed outcome" of negotiations. Despite Israel's contention that this letter allowed it to continue building in the large settlement blocs of Ariel, Maale Adumim and Gush Etzion, the letter did not convey any U.S. support for or understanding of Israeli settlement activities in these or other areas in the run-up to a peace agreement. In his 2004 letter to Rice, Weissglas addressed the issue of the "construction line," saying that "within the agreed principles of settlement activities, an effort will be made in the next few days to have a better definition of the construction line of settlements in Judea & Samaria." However, there never were any "agreed principles of settlement activities." Moreover, the effort to define the "construction line" was never consummated: Israel and the United States discussed briefly but did not reach agreement on the definition of the construction line of UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762349 Date: 06/30/2015
UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762349 Date: 06/30/2015
settlements. Weissglas's letter also promised "continuous action" to remove all the unauthorized outposts, but Israel removed almost none of them. Throughout this period, the Bush administration did not regularly protest Israel's continuing settlement activity. But this is very different from arguing that the United States agreed with it. In recent days, former senior Bush administration officials have told journalists on background that no understandings existed with Israel regarding continued settlement activity. Commentators also focus on the Obama administration's reiteration that a freeze must include the "natural growth" of settlements. Krauthammer says that this "means strangling to death the thriving towns close to the 1949 armistice line. . . It means no increase in population. Which means no babies." This is nonsense. No one suggests that Israelis stop having babies. Rather, the blessing of a new baby does not translate into a right to build more apartments or houses in settlements. The two issues have nothing to do with each other. Israelis, like Americans, move all the time when life circumstances -- children, jobs, housing availability -- change. The pattern of population growth in the territories actually undercuts the natural-growth argument. Since 1993, when Israel signed the Oslo Accords, Israel's West Bank settler population has grown from 116,300 to 289,600. The numbers in East Jerusalem increased from 152,800 to more than 186,000. This goes far beyond the natural increase of families already living in the settlements. Inserting the provision of "natural growth" in official documents started with the 2001 Mitchell Report and the 2003 "road map," reflecting recognition that the concept was being abused as a justification for expanding settlements. The Obama administration is pursuing policies that every administration since 1967 has articulated -- that settlements jeopardize the possibility of achieving peace and thus settlement activity should stop. This does not diminish the Palestinians' responsibilities, especially their commitment to stop violence and terrorism and uproot terrorist infrastructure. President Obama emphasized this in his Cairo speech. But Palestinian failures in no" way justify Israeli failure to implement their road map commitments with respect to settlements and outposts. It is time for Israel to freeze all settlement activity and dismantle the unauthorized outposts. The writer, US. ambassador to Israel from 2001 to 2005, is a visiting professor of Middle East policy studies at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

FYI, Gary Sick's latest analysis on Iran below (posted on his blog). Sick has independent sources and is very well informed.
June 17, 2009 Is this another Iranian revolution? To someone who has watched and studied the Iranian revolution of 1979 with fascination, developments in Iran today have an eerie reminiscence. Then there were massive protests that filled the streets, often marching in dignified but ominous silence; there was bloodshed as nervous security men with guns faced determined but unarmed crowds; there were sullen mourning parades;20there were catchy chants and ritual calls of "Down with the shah!"; at night the rooftops rang with shouts of allahu akbar. You need only change "shah" to "dictator," and you have a description of what is happening in Iran today. But there is one very big difference. Thirty years ago, Iran had a charismatic cleric named Ayatollah Khomeini who had a refined sense of strategy and a willingness to risk everything for the cause he represented. On the other side was Mohammed Reza Shah, who had been on the throne for some 37 years and who commanded one of the most powerful military and security regimes in the world. On the surface it appeared to be an uneven battle — guns against turbans — but the ruler with the guns wavered and the turbans grew in size and confidence until the old order collapsed. Today the nominal leader of the opposition forces is a reformed radical, Mir Hossein Mousavi, who is notably lacking in personal charisma. On the other side is the constitutional Leader, Ayatollah IChamene' i, who is widely perceived as a cautious political animal with limited qualifications for his religious post and who compensates for his own lack of charisma by manipulation of the political system and the institutions most loyal to him — particularly the politically minded clergy and the powerful security forces, including the Revolutionary Guards. Neither of these men seems to be fully in control of their own forces, let alone the situation. The fraudulent election defeat of Mousavi was a triggering event, but the energy behind these unprecedented demonstrations is due more to the sense of outrage and betrayal at the gross manipulation of numbers by the regime than it is about any undying devotion to Mousavi. Yesterday Mousavi ordered that people stay home in face of a conflicting pro-regime demonstration. They marched anyway (and the daughter of former president Rafsanjani joined them and urged them on). Mousavi then "ordered" everyone to march the following day (which they were probably going to do with or without his orders). IChamene'i announced the "divine assessment" of the election outcome — even before it would probably have been physically possible to count the more than 40 million ballots. Then, in the face of mass protests, he ordered an investigation of the results by the Guardian Council— the same organization that was responsible for managing the election in the first place. No one believed him in either case, and no one expected anything of importance from the Guardian Council. Khamene'i has ordered peace and reconciliation. No one paid any attention. I deliberately did not mention president-elect Ahmadinejad. After celebrating his "victory," he went off to a largely symbolic meeting in Moscow. He seems to be out of the decision loop and more of a passive player than a major actor in these events. So who is calling the shots? Mousavi seems to be running along after the crowd, not leading it. But that is probably all that is required to keep the protest in motion.

On the other side, the very little evidence we have suggests that the important decisions are being made by the ultra-conservative leadership of the Revolutionary Guards, whose political role has ballooned over the past decade, perhaps in cooperation with their extremist counterparts in the clergy. They are utterly ruthless and ideologically fueled. New York Times columnist Nick Kristoff reminded us several days ago (see blog item on June 15 below) at the end of the day, as I saw at Tiananmen 20 years ago, when Might and Right do battle, it's often prudent to bet on Might, at least in the short run. The regime seems to have miscalculated badly. They seemed to believe that a sudden coup — the announcement of dramatic election results followed by a show of force — would intimidate and silence the opposition and consolidate their control. That is perhaps more understandable if the decisions were being made by military leaders who tend to see the battle in Manichaean terms, rather than politicians such as IChamene'i who are accustomed to seeing shades of gray. In any event, it b ackfired and they now have a much larger crisis on their hands than if they had simply arranged for Ahmadinejad to win by a slim margin (which was at least believable). All parties are now in uncharted territory. A significant portion of the Iranian population seems to have concluded that their social contract with the rulers — accepting Islamic rule in return for a respectful regard for the opinion of the governed, an Islamic Republic — is no longer valid. They do not trust their rulers. The rulers, whose support has been declining for years in the face of their own inept management of the country, are increasingly replacing popular support with repression. This election seems to have called that tactic into question. For the military, the obvious answer is more repression. So it would appear to be a moment to bet on Might. But nobody is fully in command of events. Decisions taken in the next weeks will be fateful and could determine the future path of the Iranian revolution. There is another lesson as Iran's leaders contemplate a Tiananmen moment. When the Tiananmen crackdown occurred almost exactly ten years ago, one of the leaders of China at the time was Zhao Ziyang, General Secretary of the Communist Party. He was later fired and placed under house arrest. His smuggled memoirs have just appeared, revealing the depth of disagreements within the lea dership about how to proceed. Is it possible that ten years from now we will have a volume describing the intense debates that one can only presume are underway today in the highest councils of the Islamic Republic of Iran?

Thursday, June 18, 2009 Day of Mourning, Protests, Called by Mousavi on Thursday Mir-Hosain Mousavi, who maintains he won last Friday's presidential election despite official assertions that he lost 2 to 1 to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is calling for another rally Thursday, this time in part to honor the persons killed by hardliners or security forces in the course of previous demonstrations. Mourning the martyr is as central to Iranian Shiite religious culture as it was to strains of medieval Catholicism in Europe, and Mousavi's camp is tapping into a powerful set of images and myths here. The archetypal Shiite martyr is Imam Husayn, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who championed oppressed Muslims in Iraq and was cut down by the then Umayyad Muslim Empire. Redognition that a Muslim state might commit the ultimate in sacrilege by beheading a person who had been dangled on the Prophet's knee has imbued modern political Shiism with a distrust of the state. When Husayn's head was brought to the Umayyad caliph Yazid and deposited before his throne, older companions of the Prophet are said to have wept and remarked, "I saw the Prophet's lips on those cheeks." Shiites ritually march, flagellate, and chant in honor of the martyred Imam or divinely-appointed leader. Today's protesters are wearing green, which symbolizes Mousavi's descent from the Prophet Muhammad. (Mousavi's family name refers to the Seventh Imam (descendant of the Prophet with claims to divine knowledge), Musa Kazim, whose tomb is in Kazimiya, north Baghdad. Sayyid families, those claiming descent from the Prophet, often take one of the Imams' names as a family name to honor them, though of course they are also claiming descent from the previous Imams right back to the Prophet.) The repertoires of protest the reformists are using echo those of the 1978-79 Islamic Revolution-- they are chanting "God is Great," mourning pious fallen martyrs, etc.-- another sign that this movement is not just alienated secularized elites. But now Mousavi's his supporters are also sporting black ribbons to indicate that they are in mourning for the fallen. Typically, the dead will be commemorated again at one month and at 40 days. In 1978 such demonstrations for those killed in previous demonstrations grew in size all through the year, till they reached an alleged million in the streets of Tehran. Since the reformists are already claiming Monday's rally was a million, you wonder where things will go from here. The regime's attempt to paint the protesters as nothing more than US intelligence agents underlines how wise President Obama has been not to insert himself forcefully into the situation in Iran. The reformers and the hard liners are not stable groupings. The core of each is competing for the allegiance of the general Iranian public. If the reformers can convince most Iranians of the justice of their cause, they will swing behind the opposition. If the hard liners can convince the public that the reformers are nothing more than cat's paws of a grasping, imperialist West-- i.e. that they are Ahmad Chalabis trying to bring Iran foreign occupation so as to get power themselves-- then the reformists will be crushed. Iranians value national independence above all, having suffered with a CIA-installed goverment for decades in the mid-twentieth century. The prescriptions of John McCain and Faux Cable news for muscular US diplomacy at this point are tone deaf UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762423 Date: 06/30/2015

to Iranian realities and would backfire big time, harming both the reform cause and US interests. Anyway, after the basket case to which the US Republican Party reduced Iraq, no one in the global South is likely to want them meddling in their internal affairs. Reports are streaming in of the arrest of over a hundred opposition figures and of hard line militia men following protesters home and breaking into their homes to terrorize them. See e.g., Basij paramilitary forces terrorize residential complex. The Basij militiamen are said to be afraid to come out in numbers during the opposition demonstrations, but sneak around at night to trail protesters and harass or arrest them. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had met Tuesday morning with the representatives of all four presidential candidates, urging them to make up but continuing to insist that Alunadinejad was the winner by 24 million to 14 million votes. He portrayed the massive post-election demonstrations and charges of ballot fraud as a minor tiff. Gary Sick wonders if Khamenei really is the supreme leader any more, and hints that the hard line tack of stealing the election was directed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country's religious national guard. Reports are coming in from Iran that allege that the regime is tracking down and destroying satellite dishes, using helicopters for aerial surveillance of neighborhoods and Basij, the right wing militia (sort of like Mussolini's Black Shirts) to do the breaking and entering. Kindly neighbors who have tried to warn suspected satellite dish owners that the militiamen were coming have sometimes reportedly themselves been arrested.

FYI
From: Toiv, Nora F Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 3:17 PM To: Mills, Cheryl D Subject: More Gay Donors Drop Out of DNC Fundraiser, Protesting Justice Department Brief
More Gay Donors Drop Out of DNC Fundraiser, Protesting Justice Department Brief June 18, 2009 2:30 PM "This is not appropriate time" for the Democratic party to be hitting up gays and lesbians for money, says Richard Socarides, a former Special Assistant to President Clinton, who's not attending next week's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee. Socarides tells ABC News that many members of the LGBT community are troubled by a brief filed by President Obama's Justice Department last week that argued. — too vociferously, many believe — against same sex marriage. "The brief was very troubling to a lot of people and rightfully so," Socarides says. "Supporters of the Democratic party and others who feel that gay and lesbian equality is an important issue for this administration to address are rightly concerned about this brief. Serious issues still need clarification." Socarides says that even though President Obama yesterday signed a presidential memorandum extending some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees, he was also aware of what the President did not do. "The president did not last night address what direction he would give the Justice Department when these issues come up in the future, he did not address the continued discharges of gay people from the military." Socarides is just the latest in a list of prominent gay and lesbian Democrats withdrawing their support from the DNC event. Others include David Mixner, another former adviser to President Clinton; Andy Towle; and Alan Van Capelle, executive director of the Empire State Pride Agenda and Foundation. And you can, as John Aravosis notes, add Vermont state senate president pro tern Peter Shumlin to the list of prominent gay and lesbian Democrats who will not be attending. "One thing I have learned dealing with marriage equality in Vermont is that we all have a responsibility to stand up for the civil rights of all Americans," Shumlin said yesterday, according to the Times-Argus. "This memo from the Justice Department is more Bush than Bush. It takes the only minority group left in America that national politicians can publicly discriminate against and still see their numbers go up in the polls and it reinforces the horrible stereotypes about our friends and neighbors." And add gay Democratic donor Bruce Bastian, who told the Washington Blade he "will continue to support certain congressmen, congresswomen and senators whom I believe will continue to fight for our rights, but I UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762424 Date: 06/30/2015

don't think blanket donations to the Democratic Party right now are justified, at least not in my book." He said he found the filing "very offensive." "The administration has said they have to support the federal government's stance," he said. "But in the brief, they go way beyond where they need to go to just defend DOMA. They basically go to terminology and language that you would expect from the Bush administration, not the Obama administration." Others include National Gal, and Lesbian Task Force executive director Rea Carey who decried "the malicious and outrageous arguments and language used in the Department of Justice's marriage brief are only serving to inflame and malign the humanity of same-sex couples and our families," and the Human Rights Campaign's national field director Marty Rouse, who told the Blade that he "like many people, personally offended by the words used in the [Justice Department] brief to defend DOMA. And I just can't see right now attending a fundraiser for the DNC at this time." -jpt

pick for Protocol Post Corrects Failure to File Taxes in 2 Years By ALISON LEIGH COWAN
The New York Times June 19,2009
President Obama's choice as chief of protocol for the State Department, a position that carries the status of an ambassadorship, did not file tax returns for 2005 and 2006, errors she corrected last November.
The nominee, Capricia Penavic Marshall, has placed blame for the problem on the Postal Service and on miscommunication between her husband and their accountant. Ms. Marshall, who was a social secretary in the Clinton White House, notified the Obama administration about the late filings before she was nominated on May 14. She has since provided written answers to questions about the matter from Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the top Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, which will hold a hearing on the appointment next Wednesday. The post requires Senate confirmation. Tax issues have bedeviled several high-level Obama appointees and cost the administration at least two of its picks. in

Ms. Marshall, a graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law, may fare better because, after ultimately filing the 2005 and 2006 federal and local paperwork, she was entitled to $37,259 in refunds, according to information she provided to Mr. Lugar. The nominee and her husband, Dr. Robert Marshall, a Washington cardiologist, did not return calls seeking comment, nor did a White House spokesman. Besides the president's support, Ms. Marshall appears to enjoy the strong endorsement of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. Ms. Marshall worked on their campaigns and was most recently executive director of Mrs. Clinton's political action committee, Hillpac. In her written answers and in accounts she gave to government officials, Ms. Marshall has said the errors were inadvertent. She has said that her husband failed to recognize that the couple's accountant had included the tax returns for 2005 in a binder he provided with copies of the returns, and that the actual paperwork was never mailed. The couple learned something was awry, Ms. Marshall has said, when the Internal Revenue Service notified them last fall that their 2006 return had never arrived. She wrote that an agent "advised us that there were a large number of tax returns misplaced by the D.C. post office for the 2006 tax year." That call led the couple to the discovery that the authorities had no record of their returns for 2005 and 2006. No late fees or penalties were assessed when they later submitted the returns. The protocol chief customarily helps plan events for visiting leaders and helps oversee protocol matters for the president and vice president abroad. Mark Landler contributed reporting, and Alain Delaqueriere contributed research.

Clinton blazes trail on same sex benefits Posted: 07:18 PM ET Share <javascript:cnnShowOverlay('cnnShare42735');> I Permalink I 2 Comments I Add a comment
Elise Labott CNN State Department Producer Yesterday's groundbreaking move by President Obama to provide some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees came to fruition in large part due to Secretary of Clinton, who first put the issue on the table. It is unclear whether the Obama administration came to office planning to offer government-wide benefits to domestic partners of civil service employees, but Clinton, a longtime advocate of gay rights, was on it day one. Since President Obama named her as his pick for Secretary of State in November, Clinton's transition staff and the State Department had been working with members of the American Foreign Service Association and the group GLIFAA (Gays & Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies) on what could be done to extend benefits to domestic partners of diplomats serving abroad. At her very first senior staff meeting Clinton instructed the State Department to review whether she had the authority to extend benefits to same-sex domestic partners. About a week later a gay employee asked Clinton during a town hall with employees to eliminate discrimination against same sex partners. The Secretary of State drew loud applause when she said the issue was "of real concern" to her, and that she was already working on it. Several weeks ago, a memo to employees from Clinton instituting the changes was leaked to the press. Clinton's aides at the time said the memo was a draft, and that Clinton couldn't change policies without an "interagency review" of the issue to make sure State Department actions wouldn't negatively affect other agencies. But the memo seemed to light a fire under the administration, which quickly caught up to Clinton's lead. 12

Still, the health benefits announced Wednesday for same sex partners of non-State Department civil employees is a drop in the bucket compared to the long list of other benefits the State Department extended to the gay partners of US diplomats serving abroad. In addition to health benefits and access to medical and emergency evacuation, domestic partners will also get diplomatic passports, training at the Foreign Service Institute and housing allowances. Same sex partners will get the same preference for US embassy jobs that spouses currently enjoy, and the State Department will now work with foreign governments to provide same-sex domestic partners, to the extent possible, with diplomatic visas, work permits and other privileges, including diplomatic immunity. The State Department will even pay for them to fly home if a relative is gravely ill. Few of these benefits are currently offered to domestic partners. Although the Foreign Service has difference rules and regulations which allow the State Department to do more in the first place, Clinton extended the full range of legally available benefits and allowances to same sex partners of members of the Foreign Service. In a statement issued Thursday acknowledging the support partners provide to overseas posts, Clinton said, "domestic partners of federal employees have for too long been treated unequally." Clinton knows the move is also good business. Today's US diplomats serving around the world are increasingly having to shed their pinstripe suits and get dirty in the field, which requires a whole different skill set. These days the State Department is competing for the same Arabic and Farsi speakers and technology gurus as top notch multinational companies, where domestic partner benefits and allowances are increasingly the norm. Clinton herself noted if the State Department wants to remain a "word class employer" which attracts and retains high caliber personnel, the change is "the smart thing to do."

Hi Cheryl. You may not remember me, but we were at Stanford together. I saw a statement from you on CNN.com regarding Secretary Clinton's fractured elbow, so I went to our global address list, and voila—there you are! You were a year or two ahead of me (I was class of 1991), but I distinctly remember being in Crim Pro with you when the inimitable Barbara Babcock talked about your "friend" Wynton Marsalis being stopped by the police! Congratulations on your current position. You are really doing Stanford proud—I was watching the Clinton impeachment hearings with friends when you were testifying and shouted, "Oh my God—I went to law school with her!" I can't tell you how thrilled we in the field are to have an administration we can be proud of again (I came in during Bill Clinton's presidency, and it has been a rough eight years). As you may be learning, Foreign Service Officers are overwhelmingly liberal democrats. At my post of 20 American officers, there are only two avowed republicans (although there may be a few closet cases). We all watched the election returns together, and we cheered, cried and hugged when Mr. Obama was announced the winner. Obviously, we are also thrilled to have Hillary as our new Secretary of State. I tried to write Secretary Clinton a message when she first announced benefits for same-sex partners expressing my extreme gratitude. I have been with my partner for the last 14 years, and he has basically given up his career to follow me around the world. It has been challenging but we've managed to survive. Below is my original message, which I doubt Secretary Clinton ever actually received:

I would also like to share how her decision has literally changed the course of my career. I had decided long ago to retire in 2014 after twenty years of service. I love my job as a Management Officer, but my partner and I had grown tired of struggling with a bureaucracy that essentially denied his existence. I had planned to lc

follow his career as an academic, where I could be officially recognized as his partner and receive benefits through his employer. The announcement that the State Department will now extend benefits to same-sex partners has made us re-evaluate our future plans. After several long discussions over the past few days, we have decided that I will stay in the Foreign Service indefinitely and my partner will follow me, finding teaching jobs wherever I am posted. This is not only about the benefits themselves, which are of course most welcome. It is also the fact that my partner, who has been officially invisible all of these years, is now recognized and respected as an equal member of the Foreign Service family. I have much more to contribute to the Service, and I look forward to a long and successful career with my partner at my side. Once again, my heartfelt thanks to Secretary Clinton for making our dream a reality. Best regards, B6
If you ever have the chance, I would very much appreciate it if you could thank Secretary Clinton on my behalf. As I said in my letter, the extension of benefits to my partner has made me decide to stay in the Foreign Service. I don't mean to be immodest, but I'm a good officer—and the Foreign Service will get the benefit of my talents for many years to come thanks to Secretary Clinton! Again, congratulations on your illustrious career. Regards,

Nora, Just to close the loop, I did meet w/ Jeffrey Romoff and his team on Wed afternoon. They gave a very impressive into on what the University Medical Center of Pittsburgh (UPMC) is doing in Southern Italy. They are already getting a lot of political support from our Emb in Rome and are grateful for it. I gave them some practical suggestions on other levers in the USG that they could pull (TDA, OPIC, Commerce Advocacy Center). They want the Secretary will make some positive reference to Berlusconi in Italy this summer of their interest in working the GOI to build a lab/production facility for developing vaccines for H1N1 and other infectious diseases. They also note the coincidence of the G20 mtng in Pittsburgh later this summer. I made no commitment. But I do believe this is a genuinely positive program and our Emb agrees. I did pass their materials to David Thorne and urged him to be in touch. He said he would engage, once/if he is confirmed.

The Secretary is hoping you can schedule a meeting with the President of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is working on a project with the Italians and is seeking some guidance. I included some background below. Please let me know if you are available for a meeting and I'll connect you with them. Thanks!
• UPMC's Relationship with Italy: UPMC has a long and successful track record in Italy. More than a decade ago, UPMC entered into a publicprivate partnership in Italy, and in collaboration with the region of Sicily and two existing hospitals, established a major transplant and specialty care hospital. The construction of the 18

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762435 Date: 06/30/2015
facility, ("ISMETT") was funded by the government and UPMC , which oversaw the construction and continues to manage it. It has been a great success - bringing transplantation and specialized services to Sicily, reducing costs to the nation of "exporting" patients who need transplants, and as an economic driver for the region. Based on the success of ISMETT, UPMC is now working with the Italian government and an alliance of educational institutions to construct RIMED, a Biomedical Research and Biotechnology Center (BRBC) outside of Palermo, which will focus on sparking a biotechnology/regenerative medicine sector in the region. (Please see attached RiMED document.) The government has appropriated 330 million Euros for this initiative. Further, UPMC is a consultant to the Italian Government and is in negotiations with the regional governments in Milan and Florence. Our international offices are in Rome.
• UPMC's Relationship with Prime Minister Berlusconi: (a.) UPMC has had a long term and stable relationship in Italy over the past ten years, including two governments led by Prime Minister Berlusconi. He is knowledgeable about UPMC, as is Giarmi Letta, Italian Council of Ministry Under Secretary. (b.) The RiMED initiative was conceived during his previous term of office and in 2005, the letter of intent for RiMED was personally signed by Prime Minister Berlusconi and Mr. Jeffrey A. Romoff, President of UPMC. (c.) It was under the Berlusconi administration that the decision was made to fund RiMED and 330 million Euros were appropriated for this purpose. Mr. Romoff participated in a press conference at Palazzo Chigi with the Prime Minister. (d.) Recently, because of the devastating earthquake and the economic downturn, the resources to fund RiMED have become constrained, but it is felt this is simply an issue of an unexpected contingency, rather than any lack of interest and support. (e.) Mr. Romoff has met with Prime Minister Berlusconi several times and is fluent in Italian. (f .) Many of the significant political figures in Sicily are very closely associated with the Prime Minister and his party and the importance of UPMC to the Region and potentially to Italy is reinforced.
• UPMC's Proposed 21CB: We are
pursuing funding for a flexible, multi-product biologics facility in Southwestern PA, to develop and manufacture vaccines and therapeutic drugs as a defense against our nation's gravest threat: the Pandemic spread of diseases and diseases used by bioterrorists as weapons of mass destruction. Thanks to the tremendous help from our partners, Governor Rendell and Senator Arlen Specter, we have garnered wide spread support from many across the executive Branch and Congress including Vice President Biden and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. We will have the opportunity to brief DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on June 15th. The economic impact to the region would be unparalleled, resulting in approximately 1000 direct jobs and up to 6000 indirect jobs, all the while reducing production costs to the U. S. Government by 80 %. (Please see attached 21st Century Biodefense document.)
• UPMC's Proposal for the Italian Government:

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05762435 Date: 06/30/2015
Prime Minister Berlusconi is very much tied to the American agenda and would likely be interested in developing and funding a companion vaccine manufacturing facility- (600 million Euros,) under UPMC management, which would serve not only to enhance the strategic defense relationship between Italy and the United States, but also demonstrate that the Prime Minister is responsive to the increasing public concern regarding H1N1. It can be an economic driver to both countries, as well. Italy has close ties in the Mediterranean basin and northern Africa, in particular, and producing vaccines for these countries is desirable in keeping with the new US. Global Health Care Initiative. Thus, for both substantive and strategic/political reasons, the 21CB vaccine facility should be exceedingly attractive to Italy. As importantly, the economic gains for UPMC and the western region of Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) are very significant. As the largest employer in western Pa. , the Region depends on UPMC's economic vitality. Excess revenue (profits) gained from exporting the intellectual and managerial capital cultivated and developed in Pittsburgh to Italy and abroad, serve to create jobs and growth at home. Given the unique expertise of UPMC and the international focus on health care reform, this is potentially a multibillion dollar export industry bring both funds and prestige to the United States.
