US embassy cable - 05BRASILIA1675

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.

SUBJECT: BRAZIL: RESPONSE TO NEW TEXT FOR PKO SOUTH DIPNOTE 
 
REF: STATE 112461 
 
1. (SBU)  Poloff delivered reftel points to Luisa Lopes, 
Deputy Director of the Office to Combat Illicit Transnational 
Activities (COCIT) at the Ministry of External Relations 
(MRE).  Lopes noted that the proposed language was similar to 
past US/GOB agreements and is in line with agreements between 
the GOB and other countries.  Lopes believed COCIT could 
provide a definitive response to reftel before early next 
week.  Given that Lopes will be traveling next week and COCIT 
Office Director Marcos Pinta Gama is out of town, post is not 
optimistic that COCIT will respond before the week of July 4 
(Note: Lopes and Pinta Gama are the only two MRE officials in 
COCIT who can provide an official response. End note). 
 
2. (SBU)  Post will continue to pressure COCIT for a reply. 
In the coming days, post may need to raise the issue with the 
office of Antonio Patriota, Under Secretary for Political 
Affairs at the MRE, if a timely response from COCIT is not 
received.
