US embassy cable - 04MANAMA1546

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.

1.  Blue Lantern designated point of contact is 
Economic/Commercial Officer Aimee Cutrona. She can be reached 
through the Embassy switchboard at: (973) 1724-2700, at the 
office: (973) 1724-2986; via fax: (973) 1727-3011; or email: 
CutronaA@state.gov. 
 
2.  To date Embassy Manama has not received a significant 
number of requests to conduct Blue Lantern Checks.  PM/DTCC 
records indicate that the last request was in 2000.  While 
officers currently at post do not have experience in 
conducting these checks in Bahrain, there is every reason to 
believe a check can be completed within thirty days.  The 
Bahrain Defense Force (BDF) has provided model cooperation in 
the DSCA's Golden Sentry Program, and Embassy officers enjoy 
a close working relationship with the Ministry of the 
Interior.
