Classified By: RSO Timothy Laas for reasons 1.4(b) and (d) 
 
1.  (S/NF)  Post EAC convened on May 5 at 3:30 P.M. to review 
the current security environment and to finalize post 
recommendation on the discontinuation of authorized depature 
status (septel forthcoming).  Key offices and personnel 
represented at the meeting included: AMB, DCM, DAT, FPD, IPC, 
MO, LEGATT, POLE, RMAS, OMC, RSO, CONS, PD and USAID. 
 
2.  (S/NF)  EAC members also discussed the absence of new 
specific threat information and agreed that the recent 
grenade incidents have not developed any momentum in terms of 
an ongoing threat.  The committee also reviewed the recent 
reports of dengue fever and polio in the coastal regions of 
the country,  but determined that any action regarding this 
issue will wait for the final assesment and recommendation of 
the NAMRU team regarding risks and preventative measures. 
 
3.  (S/NF)  EAC determined that no changes were warranted to 
the standing policies regarding in-country and in-city 
movement.  The DCM reminded all EAC members to continue to 
carefully evaluate any requests for official travel to Yemen 
in terms of their necessity to Mission objectives. 
 
4.  (SBU)  The EAC will convene again on May 4 to review 
ongoing actions regarding Post's authorized departure status.
