the TIP report narrative for Malaysia advising Amb. Tan of
Malaysia's Tier 3 ranking. CDA also conveyed points of the
demarche and asked the MFA to embargo the report until after
10:00 a.m. EDT. We reminded the MFA of the pending visit of
G/TIP Director Ambassador Lagon on June 28-29 and encouraged
the GOM to take proactive steps to address trafficking in
persons prior to the visit. CDA also reminded the GOM of the
Tier 2WL Action Plan that we presented last year and informed
them that we would work with Washington to develop a short
term action plan consistent with the sixty day reevaluation
period described in the reftel demarche. Amb. Tan took the
information without comment.
