1. (C) CDA conveyed to Rossing MD Michael Leech on October
15 reftel offer from DOE's Global Threat Reduction Initiative
(GTRI) to meet with Rossing officials to discuss the
company's security needs. Leech said the first half of
December would be good timing for a visit, as Rossing would
have implemented many of its planned security upgrades by
then. Per the request in para 4 of reftel, Leech agreed to
share with us documentation on the company's implemented and
planned security arrangements, by the end of October.


2. (C) Comment: Namibia virtually shuts down from
mid-December to mid-January, so we encourage the GTRI team to
plan its visit in early December. When we receive the
promised security-related documentation from Leech, we will
forward it to the ISN/RA POCs identified in reftel.
