1.(SBU) Per reftels, PolOffs raised the question of possible
medevac alternatives for protected migrants during a private meeting
with the Jamaican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade
(MFAFT)'s Director of Bilateral Relations, Mr. Courtenay Rattray, on
September 14.
2.(SBU) Rattray said that, as long as the U.S. would pay for
transportation, treatment, and return of the protected migrants, he
could see no reason that the Government of Jamaica (GoJ) would
object to their coming to Kingston. He asked that the Embassy
provide the MFAFT a written note or letter outlining the proposed
understanding between the USG and GoJ. Post requests that
Department provide text for use in a letter, diplomatic note, or
MOU, as appropriate.
