(SBU) Embassy Amman in principle would welcome the proposed initial visit of a USG Consequence Management Support Team (CMST) to discuss emergency operations execution procedures, operational plans, and any other necessary preparations with appropriate GOJ officials and Mission personnel. Since the proposed visit is scheduled for the very near future (i.e. prior to March 15),we request the Department send country clearance request ASAP, as all TDY visitors now require M approval due to post's authorized departure status. -------------- Names/Titles of Key GOJ CM Contacts -------------- ¶2.
