translation of invitation text follows:
Begin text. In the name of his excellency, President Doctor
Leonel Fernandez Reyna, I have the honor of extending to
(you) a cordial invitation to participate in the Regional
Anti-Drug Summit between Columbia, Jamaica, Haiti, and the
Dominican Republic, to be celebrated in Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic on March 15 of this year.
The problems that affect our region as a consequence of the
increase in trafficking and use of drugs demand a shared
vision and responsibility, as well as national policies
capable of confronting this attack. In this respect, your
participation in this Presidential Summit would contribute to
the formation of a common front that will permit for our
peoples a future free of drugs.
(Secretary Rice only: Up to this moment we have confirmed
the presence of his excellency, the President of Columbia,
Dr. Alvaro Uribe, the President of Haiti, Rene Preval, and we
are awaiting the confirmation of the Prime Minister of
Jamaica for this important event.)
I wish to take this opportunity to present to (you)
sentiments of my highest esteem and consideration. End text.
3. Embassy has requested a complete list of non-USG invitees
from the office of Deputy Secretary of State for Political
Affairs Alejandra Liriano.
