1. (S) The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry responded to reftel
requests regarding the transfer of one Kuwaiti national from
Guantanamo to Kuwait and has agreed to all prisoner transfer
conditions. The following is an unofficial Embassy
translation of the text of the MFA diplomatic note received
on August 24:

- We would like to inform you that the agencies concerned
will take all legal measures with the person in custody when
he is handed over, in accordance with Kuwaiti laws and the
legal aspects mentioned in your note.

- We would also like to inform you that the officials in
the concerned official agencies are prepared to begin
discussions with their American counterparts on the methods
of handing over the person in custody to the Government of
Kuwait.


2. (C) An MFA official relayed to EmbOff the Kuwaiti
expectation that Ambassador Prosper, who will be in Kuwait on
August 26, will come prepared to start negotiations on the
transfer of the detainee.
