1. Post grants country clearance to Krista Berquist, FAA, for travel
to Jamaica August 22, 2006 through August 27, 2006. Post
understands the traveler is to participate in a meeting of the
Western Hemisphere Transportation Initiative (WHTI) and a Maritime
Working Group (MWG) meeting.
2. The Control Officer for this visit will be Economic Officer John
Morgan, telephone number (876) 935-6028; Fax no. (876) 935-6029.
3. Post confirms that no additional assistance is required.
4. Visitors traveling to Jamaica for periods of 14 or fewer days do

in Kingston. Walking after dark is not advised. Care should be
taken if driving at night. Overall, the same level of awareness
should be exercised as in a similar sized city in the United
