US embassy cable - 04COLOMBO1697

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.  (U) Admiral Fargo, I thank you immensely for your 
personal involvement in getting a Security Assistance Officer 
in Embassy Colombo in FY05.  As you know, military 
cooperation between the United States and Sri Lanka has grown 
by as much as 200 percent in some areas over the past three 
years and the operations tempo in military programs has grown 
by nearly 800 percent, a fact that has strained the resources 
of our small, but highly efficient Defense Attache Office. 
My staff stands ready to facilitate the NSDD-38 process once 
the request is received from Washington and we welcome the 
addition of your SAO to our Embassy team. 
 
2.  (U) Thanks again. 
LUNSTEAD
