1. (U) Summary: In July of the 2006-2007 waiver year, the Government
of Nicaragua (GON) did not resolve any Embassy-registered property
claims. Since January 1995, 2,514 Embassy-registered property
claims belonging to 655 American citizens (Amcits) have been
resolved. There remain 679 registered property claims belonging to
297 Amcits. Including Amcit claims not registered with the Embassy,
a total of 4,534 Amcits' claims have been resolved since January
1995. Most have involved compensation via government-issued
indemnification bonds (bonos de pago de indemnizacion, or BPIs). As
of June 30, 2007, the GON had issued BPIs with a face value of
$321,300,000 to Embassy-registered claimants. As of July 31, 2007,
the face value of BPIs issued remains the same. End Summary.
NO RESOLUTIONS IN JULY
--------------
2. (U) The GON resolved no claims in July, the last month of the
2006-2007 waiver year.
STATUS OF AMCIT PROPERTY AS OF 07/31/07
--------------
3. (U) The following is a snapshot of current Amcit property claims.

July 31, 2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act deadline, the Embassy
maintains separate registers.
