US embassy cable - 05SANTODOMINGO4650

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: DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: TERRORISM FINANCE COORDINATION 
OFFICER 
 
REF: STATE 175637 
 
The reftel requested information on Embassy's Terrorism 
Finance Coordination Officer follows: 
 
a) TFCO -  Lisa Kubiske, Deputy Chief of Mission, 
809-731-4205, kubiskel@state.gov 
 
b) Deputy TFCO - Stephen Wheeler, Economic Officer, 
809-731-4293, wheelerss@state.gov 
 
c) Because TFCO's in the region seldom meet, continued 
EB/ESC/TFS leadership through regular communications to post 
is most useful, as is listserv CT information. 
 
d) While money laundering is a problem in the Dominican 
Republic, terrorism finance so far has not been.  Deputy TFCO 
maintains good government contacts to whom information on 
designated terrorist organizations is regularly passed.  We 
do not see a need at this time for public diplomacy efforts 
or community outreach regarding terrorist financing related 
issues. 
 
e) The Embassy needs to maintain continued, timely access to 
information related to combating terrorist financing.
