US embassy cable - 03AMMAN2889

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.

FBI FOR DIRECTOR MUELLER FROM AMBASSADOR GNEHM 
 
E.O. 12958: DECL: 05/18/2013 
TAGS: PREL, KCRM, JO 
SUBJECT: YOUR MAY 31 - JUNE 1 VISIT TO JORDAN 
 
Classified By: Ambassador Edward W. Gnehm.  Reasons 1.5 (b,d). 
 
1. (C) Director Mueller: It was a pleasure speaking with you 
last week regarding your upcoming visit to the region.  As 
you will recall, at that time I was not certain whether King 
Abdullah or GID Director Sa'ad Kheir would be in Jordan at 
the end of the month or traveling abroad.  I am happy to 
report that the Palace has just informed us that the King and 
Sa'ad, along with PSD director Tahseen Shurdom, will be in 
Amman May 31 - June 1 and available to meet with you on June 
1.  As we discussed, your visit will offer a timely 
opportunity to review the excellent cooperation we have with 
the Jordanians on a range of law enforcement and security 
issues and to discuss ideas for most effectively working 
together in the future. 
 
2. (C) I would like to extend once again an invitation for 
you to stay with me at the Residence, if that would be 
convenient.  I could accommodate one other senior member of 
your staff as well.  Due to space limitations, other members 
of your delegation would spend the night at a nearby hotel. 
Please let me know what your preferences are and we will plan 
accordingly. 
 
3. (C) Once again, I look forward to seeing you in Amman on 
May 31 for what I am sure will be a productive dialogue with 
the Jordanians. 
 
 
Warm Regards, 
 
 
 
Edward W. "Skip" Gnehm 
Ambassador 
GNEHM
