1. (U) SUMMARY: Jakarta requires the Department's urgent
assistance in securing Security Advisory Opinion (SAO)
clearance for a GOI official who was invited by the FBI and
U.S. Marshal Service to Washington for anti-corruption
consultations. Facilitating this travel is a United States
priority. END SUMMARY.
2. (U) Mission requests the Department's urgent assistance
in securing interagency SAO clearance for an Indonesian
official to travel to Washington on August 9 for meetings
with the FBI and the U.S. Marshal Service. Budi Ibrahim is
Director of Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission and
was part of a delegation whom FBI Deputy Director Pistole met
during his November 2008 visit to Indonesia. This official
already traveled to the United States in December 2008 to
further develop cooperation under the Memorandum of
Understanding between Indonesia,s Corruption Eradication
Commission (KPK) and the FBI (reftel).
3. (U) Consular Chief Jeffrey Tunis sent particulars of the
individual by email in an expedite request to Greg Beer in
CA/VO. His name and particulars are Budi Ibrahim,
DOB:13May62, IDSA.
4. (U) Fighting corruption in Indonesia and building
cooperative links between GOI law enforcement officials and
their USG counterparts are key USG priorities here. The
difficulties Ibrahim is having with the SAO process threaten
progress on this important objective. This is not the first
time the SAO process has created difficulties for senior GOI
officials, and Budi Ibrahim in particular, as noted in
reftel. Jakarta requests Department's assistance to address
this problem. In the meantime, please assist by expediting
the SAO clearance for Budi Ibrahim.
