1. (U) On July 7 the Dominican Supreme Court once again
postponed trial proceedings for PRD Congressman Guillermo
Radhames Ramos Garcia, accused of alien smuggling in a July,
2000 incident. According to news reports, the chief
prosecutor asked for a delay in order to issue a summons to
several key witnesses. The trial will resume at the Supreme
Court on 1 September 2004.

2.(SBU) As a result, the case is scheduled to be considered
after the August 16 inauguration of the Leonel Fernandez
government. The President-elect has given no indication of
his choices for any positions, either at cabinet level or at
working level. Embassy will continue to stress with the PLD
transition working team the need for prompt and effective
prosecution of cases involving illegal immigration and
trafficking.
