US embassy cable - 04SANTODOMINGO5227

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

REPUBLIC RESPONSE 
 
REF: STATE 194274 
 
Embassy on September 10 provided reftel talking points and 
revised findings of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative 
International Partners' Conference in Vienna, September 
18-19, to the Foreign Secretariat's international 
organization division and the Technical Secretariat of the 
Presidency.  Dr. Rafael Cuello, who heads DR's National 
Commission on Nuclear Issues (CNAN), subsequently thanked us 
for the information which had been forwarded to him, but said 
the Dominican Republic would not send a representative 
because of the country's current financial problems.  He said 
that he had never missed an IAEA meeting, but that the GODR 
lacked funds to send him and was restricting official travel. 
 He asked if outside financing were possible; we replied 
that, even if it were available, the short lead time would 
preclude it.
