Yes, gentlemen, its an optimistic subject line, but I'm writing to ask you to let me know the latest on any
outstanding matters relating to offers of assistance from countries in your region.
As you may know, I'm currently sub'ing for Michelle, and I was reviewing the materials she left me. As I
understand it, here's about where we stand (other than EUR countries, which I've been following, and SA, which
all seem to be completed):

*(For these, perhaps you'll need to check with S/ES-CR's Natalie Chagnon, if she already received the cable to go
out.)
I'd really appreciate your letting me know iflwhen the relevant cables have gone out (with MRNs would be nice).
There has been no public release of who offered what. The Executive Summary of what has been accepted has been
distributed, however, through H to some selectees on the Hill. Others are referred to website which lists all OFFERS of
assistance. We do not wanl to release a public list until we are sure everything is in order and in any case, would need an
ExecSec chop.
Kathleen, the Katrina Working Group is updating the matrix and hopes to get a final version ready within a few days.
don't have any documentation to verify offers, but based on a summary that was handed out in the KWG meeting
yesterday, the following are additions to what you have:
Botswana $100,000
Ethiopia $100,000 to the Bush-Clinton Fund
Cameroon $450,000
Ghana $100,000 (note: KWG summary shows $15,000, but I think this is incorrect)
Guinea $500,000
Rwanda $100,000
Senegal $100,000
Togo $100,000
South Africa $2 million (the details of this offer are still unclear)
Namibia $100,000 worth of canned fish (will be declined)

This is the last one I received. It does not, however, reflect donations from South African ($2 mIn),
Namibia ($100K in fish) that we heard about at the UN. Perhaps Katrina task force has sent Bill or Ginny
more recent updates.
You may want to touch base also with our good friend Kelly Tucker, who is the Special Assistant to Amb.
Milloy (?) who runs the eMS Katrina Task Force.

Arrivals:
PERU: Commercial Freight to Dallas Ft. Worth - ATA 24/0826L (DFW) - Arrived Little Rock

Warehouse:
The only incoming movement relates to Peru bandages transhipped from Dallas (counting to
be verified) .
We included in the today report the delivery of the Sweet Corn from Thailand and the
mOvement of blankets from USAID Miami Warehouse to Dallas (see incoming and bal~nce)
As we are receiving many requests of clarification on the incoming and out going movement,
in order to avoid misunderstanding we added a new column in the outgoing spreadsheet. This
means that we have now the previous column indicating the quantity (column G) that has
been renamed "Waybill q.ty". This column reports the number of pallets or carton boxes or
other package units in line with the waybill accompanying the goods to the final
destination. The new added one (column I) shows the total quantity of the items/pcs
dispatched.

Jim,
Updated spreadsheet to include today's confirmed receipts. Based on larger task force spreadsheets,
I believe that the Australian $ 7.6 M was donated directly to the American Red Cross (5tate won't
see this donation in our records, and the Indonesian $ 25 K was a private donation ( I can see this in
Dept. records based on collection at post). Both of these items should be removed from the cash
spreadsheet.
