Contents: --Cutter Gun Resolved? --Maldives Parking Tickets and IMET --Colombo Plan Amendment Cutter Gun -------------- ¶1. (SBU) From the emails we received today it seems that you all have done a brilliant job in resolving this issue. Our great appreciation to everyone involved. Maldives Parking Tickets -------------- ¶2. (U) State 150698 on this topic states that OFM has sent a diplomatic note with the relevant information "to Foreign Embassies in Washington." This lest us wondering whether the note had been sent to the Maldivian Mission in New York since the Maldives does not have a mission in DC. The cable listed Scott Kwak in PM as a point of contact. Andrea Tomaszewicz contacted him a week ago, he did not know and promised to find out. Andrea is now on leave and we still don't know if the Maldives has been officially informed. We want to follow up with the GORM from this end, and Ambassador may also have chance to raise it when he is in Maldives next week for their National Day. Can you please try to find out for us? Colombo Plan Amendment -------------- ¶3. (U) Is the deafening silence on this one good news? LUNSTEAD
