Summary
--------------


1. (SBU) The Ambassador chaired a meeting of the Emergency
Action Committee (EAC) on August 24 to review the Embassy's
security posture prior to the local weekend. Members noted
no substantive changes in the local security environment
since the last meeting. Accordingly, the EAC agreed that the
Embassy's already heightened security posture and force
protection condition (FPCON) remain appropriate. End Summary.

--------------
Security Environment
--------------


2. (SBU) On August 24, the Ambassador chaired a meeting of
the core EAC to review the Embassy's security posture prior
to the local weekend. The meeting opened with a discussion
of the local security situation, which the EAC continued to
characterize as stable. Likewise, the EAC noted no/no new
threat reporting specific to Oman.


--------------
Sustained Vigilance
--------------


3. (SBU) Prior to concluding the meeting RSO reiterated
that members of the EAC must continue reinforcing to both
their staffs and family members the need for vigilance
regarding all aspects of personal security. RSO further
re-emphasized the importance of immediately reporting all
suspicious activity or security-related incidents to Post One.

--------------
EAC Conclusion
--------------


4. (SBU) The EAC concluded that there have been no
substantive changes in the local security environment since
the last meeting held on August 20 (reftel). Accordingly,
members agreed that the Embassy's already heightened security
posture and FPCON remain appropriate. Embassy Muscat remains
acutely aware of the need to monitor both the regional and
local security and threat environments, and is prepared to
take the necessary countermeasures should changes to either
occur. AMB, DCM, MGT, RSO, ARSO, PAO, DAO, and OMC (USDR)
participated in the meeting.
