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.

UNCLAS AMMAN 008047 SIPDIS DEPARTMENT FOR NEA/EX, DS/IP/NEA, DS/DSS/ITA E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ASEC, JO, PGOV, PTER SUBJECT: GOJ AGREES TO ALTER TAX EXEMPTION CARDS TO ENHANCE SECURITY REF: AMMAN 7733 1. SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED - PROTECT ACCORDINGLY 2. (SBU) Following Charge's recent meetings with Royal Court Minister Samir al-Rifai, PSD Commander Tasheen Shurdom, and Finance Minister Muhammad Abu Hammour, and a separate meeting with GID Chief Saad Khayr, the Jordanian government agreed readily to redress a security vulnerability associated with the use of GOJ tax exemption cards by Mission employees. REFTEL outlined a threat to an Embassy employee that grew out of the use of the current tax exemption card. Within weeks, the Finance Ministry informed us, a new version of the tax exemption card would be issued to members of vulnerable, Western embassies. The new card will have neither a photograph nor a reference to an embassy affiliation. The head of the tax department indicated the U.S. Embassy would be the first to be issued such cards. HALE
