1. The Dipnote currently under consideration
by the GOP covers all programmed SOF
deployments that will occur between July 05
and December 06 ending with 4th quarter
deployments.



2. The Dipnote has been approved by the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of
Defense, both houses of the Congress and once
already by the Executive. It is currently at
the Executive awaiting signature to put into
law.



3. It is the recommendation of the Country Team
that the Request for Deployment Orders process not
be delayed, or stopped awaiting presidential
signature of said document, but instead that it
proceed without delay. We fully expect that the
dipnote will be signed into law and do not
anticipate any delay that would affect the
deployment dates of the scheduled exercises.



4. Once signed, this document will provide for
Admin and Technical Status of all deployed
personnel in support of exercises specifically
