Guyana's President Bharrat Jagdeo officially requested and
welcomed Embassy assistance in the search for a
U.S.-registered airplane missing since November 1.
On-the-ground Post resources have already been employed and
Post is in discussions with SOUTHCOM and NGA to determine
what other assets might be available.

Two British helicopters already on a training mission in
Guyana, private U.S. and Guyanese aircraft and the Guyanese
Defense Force have participated in the search, but the
British assets must withdraw after today and the two air
assets utilized by the GDF are grounded for mechanical
