FBI FOR DIRECTOR MUELLER FROM AMBASSADOR GNEHM

E.O. 12958: DECL: 05/18/2013
TAGS: PREL KCRM JO
SUBJECT: YOUR MAY 31 - JUNE 1 VISIT TO JORDAN

Classified By: Ambassador Edward W. Gnehm. Reasons 1.5 (b,d).


1. (C) Director Mueller: It was a pleasure speaking with you
last week regarding your upcoming visit to the region. As
you will recall, at that time I was not certain whether King
Abdullah or GID Director Sa'ad Kheir would be in Jordan at
the end of the month or traveling abroad. I am happy to
report that the Palace has just informed us that the King and
Sa'ad, along with PSD director Tahseen Shurdom, will be in
Amman May 31 - June 1 and available to meet with you on June

1. As we discussed, your visit will offer a timely
opportunity to review the excellent cooperation we have with
the Jordanians on a range of law enforcement and security
issues and to discuss ideas for most effectively working
together in the future.


2. (C) I would like to extend once again an invitation for
you to stay with me at the Residence, if that would be
convenient. I could accommodate one other senior member of
your staff as well. Due to space limitations, other members
of your delegation would spend the night at a nearby hotel.
Please let me know what your preferences are and we will plan
accordingly.


3. (C) Once again, I look forward to seeing you in Amman on
May 31 for what I am sure will be a productive dialogue with
the Jordanians.


Warm Regards,



Edward W. "Skip" Gnehm
Ambassador
GNEHM
