1. (SBU) This is an Action request for PM/WRA and DTRA: Post
requests that the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)
provide the Government of Honduras (GOH) with Physical
Security and Stockpile Management Program (PSSMP) seminars.
Post received a formal request from Minister of Defense
Federico Breve Travieso for the PSSMP seminars as offered by
the DTRA component of the Small Arms Light Weapons (SA/LW)
ordnance destruction team. Post has also informed Minister
of Public Security Oscar Alvarez (police) and the Attorney
General Leonidas Rosa Bautista (prosecutors) of the seminars
and both expressed interest in members of their organizations
participating as well, as they hold seized weapons and
ammunition.


2. (SBU) As of yet, GOH has not requested destruction of any
excess ordnance. Post is working with the GOH on this issue.
