ALTHOUGH HTE VOLUMES AND TIME LINES FOR PROVISION OF THE SEVERAL FUELS SHIFT SLIGHTLY FROM ONE SCENARIO TO ANOTHER, THE INTENT IS CLEAR. THE OVERRIDING GOAL OF THE GOK IS TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO HYDROCARBON SHORTAGE IN IRAQ, AND THE GOK BELIEVES KUWAIT IS BEST POSITIONED TO EASE IRAQ'S FUEL CRISIS. HOWEVER, ALTANMIA NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT QUANTITIES OF EACH TYPE OF FUEL ARE NEEDED, AND FOR HOW LONG. ALTANMIA HAS ALREADY DEMONSTRATED ITS DETERMINATION TO MAKE THIS WORK -- FOR EXAMPLE, ALTANMIA HAS ABSORBED PENALTIES LEVIED BY THE KUWAIT PETROLEUM CORPORATION WHEN KBR DID NOT ORDER THE QUANTITIES OF FUEL IT HAD INDICATED IT WOULD. BUT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT CPA PROVIDE THE KUWAITIS WITH A CLEAR OUTLINE OF QUANTITIES AND TYPES OF FUEL THAT IRAQ NEEDS, AND AN ESTIMATE OF HOW LONG IRAQ WILL REQUIRE FUEL EXPORTED FROM KUWAITI, SO THAT THE KUWAITIS CAN INCREASE FUEL DELIVERIES.

(SES) Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 9:56AM To: (b )(6) SUbject: Deputy Ministers Kellogg Jr, Joseph (SES-6); Jones, Richard (AMB); (b )(6) All- The following is probably blindingly obvious to each of you, but perhaps the information can be useful to you, at least anecdotally. • ;lh• people themselves are patently ~d are apparently being placed in the Ministry for religious, political or personal reasons, all such influence we are trying to eliminate within the oil industry. • It is incomprehensible why Deputy Ministers have to be named at all because there is nothing for them to _92.: Also, there is no rationale to naming people to fill an organization before the organizational structure is decided. • The same people who IJ~~II through SjrJ~am'~ ~ and who brought it back to life after the liberation, as well as many trained professionals, are a sys ematically bejng pushed to the sidelines. This is just another step in that process. It appears that people with no refigious or geographiC identification will have no place in the structure. Besides these major problems, there are other pieces of information that are relevant. • People in the ministrv have onlv heard of three of the six. Only one of six worked in the oil industry before. • One nominee, worked as an economist for SOMO in the late '80s. He left in '91, never reached the level of supervisor and was considered ''very poor" by people that knew him. • Another, is a Kurd appointed earlier as an Advisor w/o portfolio to the Oil Ministry by GC Member Talibani. He has done nothing since that time. • Sahib Qotub is currently the Upstream Advisor in the Ministry and has been appointed as the Senior Deputy Minister. He has been retired since the first Gulf War, when he ran Kuwait Petroleum Company for Saddam during the time Kuwait was occupied. He is considered weak. • Although you have been consistent in saying that we in CPA cannot get involved in backing one person over another, the situation with Thamir Ghadbhan is unique in my mind. When there was no water, no lights, no police, no services, etc, it was Ghadbhan who stepped forward to achieve CPA's oil goals, unified the Oil Ministry and led them back to where they are now. Yesterday's action irritated and demotivated almost ail of the current DGs, particularly on Thamir's behalf. They know that since he is being treated that way, their own efforts over the months have been minimized and that those efforts are not valued as much 2/13/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000016 Page2of2 as cronyism and religious leanings. 1 do not have eny basis to defend Ghadbhan's character pre-liberation, but if people like Qotub were as close to Saddam as he apparently was, what basis is the GC using to select or eliminate candidates? • I would question how much of this GC, and how many of the ministers, will be in a permanent government. Why would we let what could be a temporary body put in place something that guarantees connectivity to them and which Is patently not even necessary at the present time? I appreciate that you don't like to have problems presented without recommendations. I don't pretend to know how to solve this one, but all else being equal, we should veto yesterday's nominations and Insist that the Minister of 0~ restructure his ministry prlol: to the right people (baSed on merit) being placed in the resulting organization. - .. . .. . ~- - . -::=.

(SES); • • -- SUbject: Borders Working Group - Recap and Next Meeting! All, To recap what we covered at our November 15 meeting: • Bilateral Relations Papers. The meeting noted that apart from CJTF7's contribution covering security, there had been no responses to note of 6 November asking for inputs for papers for each of Iraq's neighbours. MFA had been given sight of the skeleton paper and were keen to work up there own version for each country. It was agreed there would be another meeting of the drafting group on Wednesday 19 November, leading to a meeting with Ministry officials soon after Eid. Action: addressees of previous 6 November memo (attached) to provide contributions by close of play 19 November. • IGC Delegation to Syria, Turkey and Iran. This had been postponed until Monday and may skip Syria. It was agreed that it would be useful to work up a short paper for each of the countries visited to set out Iraq's key points for each neighbor. Action: Susan Johnson to ask each Ministry represented on the delegation to submit one or two key Points that the Minister would wish to make In each country visited to (b )(6) • Revision of Order 16. Many comments had been offered and the order was almost ready for submission to Amb Bremer. It was agreed that there would be one final circulation of the draft. Action: CPA MOl to circulate. It was agreed that we would need a plan to explain the order to the IGC (for agreement) and to foreign governments. This would be helped if a short commentary on the main features of the order (and the key changes from the orevious version) were drafted. Action: CPA MOl and General Counsel (b )(6) to draft commentary. • The Hajj. There was more or less acceptance that numbers should/would be limited to around Iraq's previous quota (24,000) and certainly no more than 30,000. MFA Minister Zubari would speak to the GC President Talabanl. It was now worth working up road and air travel transport plans on this basis. I propose that the CPA Hajj Support Committee meet on Thursday, Nov 20 at 1430 hours. Let me know if you cannot make it.

I suggest that you do not copy further. As you know, Ambassador Bremer asked about strategies for an 'anti-corruption program (establishment of an Inspector General)' in his letter to all ministers dated November 27. He has received back a good deal of supportive comment from ministers and from senior advisors at their strategic planning interviews. Bremer thought that it would be a good idea to provide some further guidance to senior advisors. Robert Dawes has already given a couple of talks on the subject. Bremer asked me to circulate a note. He has In fact already seen this draft and has asked us to provide a template which would be forwarded to senior advisors for action in consultation with their ministers. We are now working on that. Pending the issue of a formal paper, you may find it helpful to see the attached draft note. If there are any queries or comments that you would like to raise at this stage, please contact Robert or me . ...

November 13.2003 6:10PM (b )(6) (b)(6) RE: SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCUREMENT PLAN A. Witness Protection The witness protection program is designed to relocate witnesses in high profile terrorism and related cases. The funding for this program contemplates both relocation costs and security arrangements for cases brought before the central criminal court as well as crimes against humanities cases. In order for the program to be properly executed advice will need to be obtained from the United States Marshal's Service which is responsible for the program in the united States and has provided technical assistance to other countries in establishing a witness protection program. The funds needed for this program must be handled in such a manner as to both ensure accountability of funds as well as preserve the identity of the protected witness. Expert advice from the Marshal's Service is needed in determining the manner in which the funds should be handled. CPA will contact the Marshal's Service in order to make these arrangements. B. Other Technical Means This refers to the use of electronic recording devices and other technical measures to preserve evidence of criminal activity for use in court. This procurement process needs to be executed in close cooperation with the Ministry of Interior {MOI) and United States law Enforcement and other coalition agencies with the needed expertise. According, MOJ will contact those agencies and the MOI in order to determine the appropriate specifications needed to solicit bids from vendors for the equipment and to ensure that the equipment is used for law enforcement purposes. -----Original Message----- From: (b)(2) Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 1:46 PM To: (b )(2) ,(b )(6) Subject: FW: SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCUREMENT PLAN Maybe one of these addresses will work. -----Orioinal Messaae----- From: (b )(6) Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 9:36 PM To: (b)(2) Subject: FW: SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCUREMENT PLAN Let me try this address as the other one did not go through. ·· ---- --Oriainal Messaae----- Frorn: (b )(6) Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 9:22 PM •ro: (b )(2) Subject: SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCUREMENT PLAN 1 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000021 ..

Thanks. - -----Original Message----- From: Nash David (SESJ Sent: Tuesday, November teel , Steven W. PM Subject: The recent signing of the United States legislation Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Defense and Reconstruction of Iraq by President Bush brings a much needed infusion of funds to our efforts in CPA. CPA must now deliver a financial plan to Congress to enable the apportionment of the funds. Here is the timeline for accomplishing that: * 14 Nov - Produce procurement schedule and list of grants * 20 Nov - Consolidated list of projects with first cut on who the execution agent will be * 30 Nov - Submit draft plan to Bremer * 10 Dec - Submit plan to OMB DC for apportionment and Congress for notification 1 Feb - Contract awards IIRO needs your help to succeed. We must build a procurement and execution plan for both construction and non-construction dollars. This plan must provide descriptions and locations of projects to be performed, estimated costs, when each project is needed (when must it be completed, thus when must it start to meet that deadline), to;hat must be procured and who should procure it, and when the procurement needs to occur. While we're preparing the plan we are authorized to obligate up to 20% of the total, so IIRO, in coordination with the ministries, must also establish priorities within each ministry and across CPA. Your input to the plan is critical to our success. We have broken non-construction dollars into two categories: things that have to be procured and things that don't, like salaries, grants, etc. Attachment A is our best guess at the breakout of these dollars. The Baker/Stanley Team, supporting the IIRO, has been working with your representatives to determine the detailed requirements for the 2 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000022 construction dollars . I have tasked Darrell Crawford to help CPA OMB do the same thing for non-construction money. Attachment B is what they need from you to accomplish that. Rodney Bent and I will be setting up a meeting soon to discuss with you our plans and our progress. Hopefully you will be able to joi n us as we move forward on this daunting but worthwhile task. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance. We look forward to working with you on this very worthwhile effort.

A lot of principals are out of the country for Christmas leave and I need to start working the detaDed requirements identification and definitization process required to prepare for the arrival of funds. So I'm sending it to a number of people In each office to ensure all who need to know (and help) get the word. Several weeks ago, you and your staff(s) pulled together the overall program descriptions for the IT,IOney about to be provided under the supplemental appropriation. This Information was forwarded to PMO oratfsheets. Darrell Crawford compiled the data, built a spreadsheet and forwarded the package to OMB.- C'Oiiiress will receive this data, along with a report being built by OMB on 5 January. Assuming all goes well, we will receive notice to proceed within a week. The next step is to tum these plans into goods and services that contribute to meeting our Objectives in Iraq. However, the necessary step towards this end is to tum the broad collection of plans and programs embodied in the PPA sheets into a series of procurement packages. I've taken the data in Darrell's spreadsheets, along with data provided by POCs within the ministries to break down the projects into a series of requirements. This breakdown, along with the projected costs of each requirement Is shown in the attached document "Rollup w lineitem detail". Ideally, the totality of these requirements would equal the total of the construction, non-construction procurement, and nor.,."?§liPf? nUtlfi i'lf listed alongside the project code. Additionally, the sum of construction costs, urgent, and non-urgent requirements would also balance with the amounts on the project line. At this point, the requirements breakdown as l understand it does not capture all the requirements of each project. Additionally, I do not have complete visibility on which of these requirements are "urgent" and which are non-urgent. My task is to reconcile all these figures such that they add up to $18.68. To do this I need your help, and that of your project officers to capture the totality (requirement, cost, delivery (urgent, non-urgent)) of each project in the supplemental. In any bureaucratic request for infonnation, one should always be able to answer- "What's in it for me?" In this 1/15/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000024 Page2 of2 ~·· case, the answer Is easy. PMO has overall program management responsibility for the supplemental. We are the intermediaries between your plans, the contracting agencies, and delivery of the goods and services required to implement your projects. Additionally, Admiral Nash has to be able to report to Ambassador Bremer, OSO, and the Congress on our plans and progress on how we're spending the taxpayer's money. In order to do this, I need Jhls information. Moving on to the implementation phase, we need to tum these requirements Into a series of packages that can be given to a contracting office who In turn will buy exactly what we tell them and send it on to Iraq. There's a lot of wot1t that needs be done to make sure what you want is what is delivered. 1M ese:•'"'_.,~H!d ' M In e 1~ &I ' sttu'AM. There are several activities that are necessary to move forward: a. Need to fully define the actual requirement. In many cases we,l need to coordinate contract action. We will need to develop sufficient data to allow contractors and suppliers to bid. If the procurement is highly technical, we,l need to identify a source of technical expertise to ensure that what we procure, is what you wanted. b. Establish key information required to properly manage the acquisition - For lnstanca when do you need the item delivered. This includes identifying submittal information requirements. One category of submittals would be for the design Information or catalog sheets needed from suppliers to allow a review prior to the item being fabricated or shipped . . .. c. Develop a government estimate of expected delivered cost. d. AU procurements using Supplemental funds are required to use "full and open competition". However, if there are reasons for requiring a particular source, we'll need to know that as well. ; e; We'll need to understand required delivery dates, as well as locations. In particular, our procurements need to tie in with overall project milestones. · f. ~~I receive a lot of scrutiny/auditing in this program. We'll need to understand the metrica of success, and to have a way of showing that the foods expended were utilized for the purpose originally described. 2. The ideal POC is someone who understands the original request, and will be available as a POC for the time It's expected to take to fmlsh the acquisition process. Understanding we have rapid turnover of staff, we'll ask that you Identify alternate POC's. I and. my vast staff (myself) are standing by to wot1t this problem and answer questions. Merry Christmas!

The MCI system that we currently use will be phased out. As such, we need to gather requirements and use this to negotiate a best-price contract with each of the three vendors. The first attachment provides the cost for these services. The second attachment is a fact sheet that will help you better understand what you need to know to complete the final two attachments. I have high lighted those lines which are pertinent to this task. Each ministry (Iraqi and Coalition Senior Advisory) needs to articulate their cell phone requirements using the two attached Excel Spreadsheets. Things to note as you go through this: • Your Iraqi Ministries must pay for this out of their budgets - theirs will not be funded/provided by CPA. This also means that Senior Advisors can not obtain CPA purchased / phones for their Iraqi ministries. Please ensure they understand this before they articulate· V their requirements. Costs are at the first attachment. • Because of the funding differences, we need two matrices from you. Please capture your Iraqi Ministry requirements on the first spreadsheet and your CPA staff requirements in the second. There is a tab at the bottom of the page for each of the ministries. 10/28/2003 --- - -- ---- - ------ . , Page 2 of2 • Please note that this is broken down by region. • In order to affect the contracting we need to have your BEST ESTIMATE on this no later than Monday, 4 November.

The call will be held tomorrow afternoon at 1700 hrs and seeks to address the following issues: 1) What is the status of your individual Ministry's relationship with the Japanese? Areas of progress and delay? Any agreements that have been formalized? Etc. Four to six bullet points of a sentence or two would be perfect. 2) In addition, they have requested that we gather lists of equipment to be discussed during that call. The lists should reflect current and antidpated needs. Lists have already been submitted by a number of Ministries and, if that list is still current, please resubmit those lists bearing in mind the following criteria: • The lists should be for equipment only. • The lists should be focused toward "big ticket", "high visibility" items (vehicle lists have been particularly well- received thus far). • No military-related Items should be included. • Formatting for the lists is open, but should be kept as simplified as possible. Our apologies for burdening you with another request, but this is a joint USG- CPA effort to mobilize and focus the Japanese in implementing their assistance in your sectors. Please forward your lists to me no later than 1500 hrs tomorrow (Thurs. - 2/5) in order to pass then along to Washington for their review prior to the call. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Susan Johnson ----Original Message----- From: Johnson, Susan R. (SES} Sent: Monday, November 17,200311:24 PM To: All, To recap what we covered at our November 15 meeting: • Bilateral Relations Papers. The meeting noted that aoart from CJTF7's contribution covering security, there had been no responses to (b )(6) note of 6 11/21/2003 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000070 Page 3 of3 November asking for inputs for papers for each of Iraq's neighbours. MFA had been given sight of the skeleton paper and were keen to work up there own version for each country. It was agreed there would be another meeting of the drafting group on Wednesday 19 November, leading to a meeting with Ministry officials soon after Eid. Action: addressees of previous 8 November memo (attached) to provkM conb"ibutlons by close of play 19 November. • IGC Delegation to Svrla. Turkey and Iran. This had been postponed until Monday and may skip Syria. It was agreed that it would be useful to work up a short paper for each of the countries visited to set out Iraq's key points for each neighbor. Action: Susan Johnson to ask each Ministry represented on the delegation to submit one or tw~e Minister would wish to make In each country visited to~ • Revision of Order 16. Many comments had been offered and the order was almost ready for submission to Amb Bremer. It was agreed that there would be one final circulation of the draft. Action: CPA MOl to circulate. It was agreed that we would need a plan to explain the order to the IGC (for agreement) and to foreign governments. This would be helped If a short commentary on the main features of the order (and the key changes from the previous version) were drafted. Action: CPA MOl and General Counsel (Eric Pelofsky) to draft commentary. • The Haii. There was more or less acceptance that numbers should/would be limited to around Iraq's previous quota (24,000) and certainly no more than 30,000. MFA Minister Zubari would speak to the GC President Talabani. It was now worth working up road and air travel transport plans on this basis. I propose that the CPA HajJ Support Committee meet on Thursday Nov 20 at 1430 hours.

I worked as advisor to the Ministry of Environment(MoEN) until my departure from CPA on 09 JAN. I wanted to come by and see you before I left, but my schedule did not permit me time to fmd you in my final days. The MoEn was created 23 NOV by CPA order# 44. As a late starter, we didn't have may FPS guards handed down to us by the MSCs, so we are a bit different AJso, a5 we have developed the Ministry's facilities, we have only recently begun to need FPS. Tim Carney has a good wrap up of the history of FPS and the MoEN. The wrapup is contained as background info in recent Eviction Support Requests prepared to ask for CJTF -7 support for an eviction action at the new Ministry Headquarters on 15 JAN. Essentially, the MoEN hired 75 FPS guards directly from the Ministry of Interior's FPS training academy, starting 01 DEC. We are paying these FPS out of Ministry funds. We project that we will need a total of230 FPS guards nationwide, this includes about 150 for the governorates, 10 for each of 15 governorates. The other 80 will be in Baghdad. I was assured repeatedly by your predecessor,--that funds to pay these 230 FPS guards in FY 2004 would be put into the MoEN budget. This promise has been repeated by the staff at the Ministry of Finance, as recently as two weeks ago. I have also been assured that the 230 FPS are not subject to the hiring cap, so that we can hire them. The MoEN has a good Director of Security, (b )(6) (b )(6) Unfortunately, does not speak English. He is also a Grade 6, which means he makes about $180 a month. So he is just a good, reliable, Iraqi without a big budget, and you probably wi11 never meet him personally. What we need help with is uniforms for our FPS, weapons and equipment. We received an initial allocation of 18 AK-47s and 1000 rounds of ammunition. I have asked for 75 more AK-47s, and I have been told they are not available. The Ministry will purchase the weapons if necessary. I am also told there are funds in the supplemental budget to cover the purchase of the weapons. I coordinated my requests with BJ Turner and Tom Giboney. Our needs will remain until these requests are filled. The point of contact in the Senior Advisor's office for the MoEN is (b )(6) information out to the MoEN staff.

This was discussed at the CAT Brief chaired by MOl and CJTF-7 and again at the TOA brief given 7 Jan to all Ministry Reps. Payments must be made ASAP. If assistance is needed, then the Ministry MUST notify CJTF-7 via MOl so 1 AD can be called back In to assist.

When you need to do so please contact me and I will provide write access to those you direct to complete the task. As a general point, the Ambassador wants to see the Tasking disaggregated across the quarters with sequential elements defined in the preceding timeframe. and he would expect there to be relevant supporting plans that underpin the Tasks. You will notice that I have made some changes to the forms that you use to update the plan. I have kept the format the same but included some instruction on how to select the relevant task or MOE that needs updating. I have also attached a simple flow diagram that 1 hope will assist you in both assessing the colour status of each the Tasks and to craft the status narrative (note this narrative should relate to the end-state rather than a snapshot report). While updating the SP please pay particular attention to the MOE, checking for relevance and quantifying the current criteria. There is mounting interest both within the CPA and in Washington in refining the metrics associated with the Plan and you can expect further work in this area. Finally, l am working with the IMU to further improve access to the database and will keep you informed, in the interim, please pass any constructive comment you may have to me.

It was to record a dissenting view that there is no supply problem in the city and it is only a manageable distribution problem. The problems and the solutions are multi faceted and complex. Many, many people are working on the supply aspect of this issue. Below are some of the recommended actions at the distribution level of the problem. AIM: More effectively manage the constantly changing distribution of the limited supply of gasoline in Baghdad. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: • Ask all parties (IGC, Ministry OF Oil (MoO), CPA, 1st AD) to recognize we will have a changing limited supply of gasoline available in Baghdad for at least the next month and we must move into a real time crisis mode to manage the distribution of that limited supply. • Immediately establish a JOINT Fuel Distribution Crises Management Team to operate at the Ministry of Oil Headquarters, Refinery and Tank Farms (1ST AD are setting up a crisis distribution team to work with the MoO but it will only be available for 48 hours, the Joint Fuel Distribution Crises Management Team is required on a permanent basis). • Members would be: o MoO Distribution, Supply, Storage, Production and Imports divisions; o A representative from the Senior Advisors office; o 1st AD representation; o Strategic Communications representation; o TFRIO;and o IPS. • Assignments o Constantly share the changing facts on time, amounts Jd locations of gasoline and diesel available for distri~ution in Baghdad. o Constantly decide where, when and how to distribute the limited supply based on facts fed in from distribution points and fed back to the distribution points. o Communicate the constantly changing distribution routes to the 1st AD to enable military escorts of re-supply trucks from tank farm to gas stations, to plug the smuggling holes. 12/20/2003 ----·-------------------- Page 2 of2 o Dispatch military escorts on the basis of wherever the Crises Management Team decides to send gasoline from a standby pool of escorts. o Continue to provide military presence and patrols by l st AD at the gas stations. o Insist MoO put either its Oil Police or some of its 5000 FPS on the gas station level distribution system to discipline the lines. o Strategic Communications jointly develop reoccurring 10/PR campaigns that reflect the constantly changing gas conditions in the city. • Establish a worst case scenario contingency plan for the crisis to include, in the next 24 hours, an analysis of: o A political decision to declare a national emergency, which could entail the military take over of the distribution system if required. o Analysis of the option of closing stations on a rotating basis to provide time to build up enough known stock to help manage the distribution. • Deciding when and who will take the political heat to increase the price of gasoline (CPA, IGC, IMF) to allow market forces to dampen hording, smuggling and black- market leaks in the current distribution system . ...

With a rapid repair capability, we could have cut repair time to "Y" with lost revenues of "Y." We need to take into account (as best we can) the time to move people and equipment around.

I think that we all agree that this should be an Iraqi heavy delegation, especially following the Talabani delegation that has just returned and our repeated desire that the Turks engage with the Iraqis. 2. In order to underscore how seriously we and the Iraqis take this Issue and that it is not just a routine border issue, we recommend an Iraqi Minister or at the least, deputy Minister, lead the delegation, and that Ambassador Jones, as Deputy Administrator, represent the CPA side politically. 3. The delegation should Include appropriate people from the Iraqi Ministries of Oil, Interior and Foreign Affairs. Please contact your Minister/Ministry asap and decide who will travel. This should be on Saturday or Sunday, Nov 29 or 30, If at all possible. On the CPA side, In addition to Ambassador Jones, Oil and Interior should decide who they should send.

I don't have a specific time for Sunday departure but estimate it will be around 9am or so. Can you make that? 3. Thanks for your objectives. Re point 1, these would seem achievable. Re point 2 I am not sure this will fly unless the KDP can come up with some additional gestures of goodwill. Stop flying KDP flag, and maybe some other things that we need to flush out. Re 3 and 4, what steps can be taken to reduce the amount of smuggling?

As I briefly mentioned during the Senior Advisor meeting this morning, we are beginning a new project involving U.S. focal media.

I don't have any objection to this. However the chosen location is a crazy idea environmentally speaking. It is close to the cement factory, in an area too close to Najaf. Years ago, this area (cement factory) was far enough of the city, but right now it is almost in the gates of the city. We have right now an environmental problem with this cement factory, so if the refinery is built in the same zone, the situation would be untenable. There are another locations close to the pipe line far away enough of the city where the refinery can be installed. Najaf is situated in the gates of the desert so there are not problems o.f space, but not in the area currently chosen. Best Regards.

What steps will tbe administration take to ensure that all of this work is performed on a fully-competitive basis, and that none is awarded on a sole-source basis to Halliburton or any other company? Answer: Under an acquisition strategy approved in June 2003, the Army Corps of Engineers in conducting a full and open competition which will result in the award of two contracts for the repair and continuity of operations of the Iraqi oil infrastructure - one for the North and one for the South. The Army issued a Request for Proposals (DACA63-03-R-0021) on July 9, 2003. The Army is following formal source selection procedures applicable to major competitive procurements. On October 29, 2003, the Corps of Engineers announced it has amended the solicitation to increase the maximum value of the two contracts. Award is expected to occur in 30 to 60 days to give offerors an opportunity to revise their proposals and allow the Corps to evaluate the revisions. We anticipate these awards in December.

Attached is the statement of work for the IAMB audit of the DFI. This was originally submitted and the IAMB requested a section addressing "Oil Export Sales" (see .pdf file). The IAMB terms of reference are also attached. Below is the standard we are held to (source UNSCR 1483): "20. Decides that all export sales o~ petroleum, petroleum products, and natural gas ~ram J:rac;z following the date of the adoption of this resolution shall be made consistent with prevailing international market best practices, to be audited by independent public accountants reporting to the International Advisory and Monitoring Board referred to in paragraph 12 above in order to ensure transparency, and decides further that, except as provided in paragraph 21 below, all proceeds from such sales shall be deposited into the Development Fund for Iraq until such time as an internationally recognized, representative government of Iraq is properly constituted;" This is what I have added to the SOW for "Oil Export Sales:N "Oil export Sales. Oil exports sales are arranged for and conducted by the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), which is the Iraqi Ministry of Oil's marketing and supply organization. Pursuant to paragraph 20 ofUNSCR 1483, the CPA oversees these transactions to ensure they are consistent with prevailing international best practices. SOMO contracts for oil export sales via tenders, spot contracts, and term contracts. For each oil export sale, the buyer first files a letter of credit with the FRBNY, the lift of the contracted quantity occurs, final pricing occurs, and payment to FRBNY is made within 30 days of the lift. CPA monitors SOMO's clientele, reviews its oil export sales contracts and its official sales prices (OSP), and ensures the correct payment is made to the FRBNY." I don't think we are living up to UNSCR 1483 since we currently only monitor the clientele and ensure payment is made .

The event will start at 9 o'clock for 9.30 (coffee/tea to be served) - those entering the Green Zone will need to get to Checkpoint 3 no later than 8.30. We are hoping to arrange lunch in the cafeteria at about 1230. All IGs now appointed or on the point of being appointed (see list of senior advisors/ main addressees) are Invited, and strongly encouraged, to attend. There will be a full briefing and discussion on the concept of the IG, the responsibilities that are entailed and how the mission might be developed and taken forward. We shall also cover the complementary roles of the Board of Supreme Audit and the new Commission on Public Integrity and how these organizations are being developed. The event will be Interactive and participative: we want to encourage to the maximum learning through an exchange of views among participants. After lunch, we Intend to continue discussion in small groups (for which there will be several facilitators) on problems that IG are likely to face In building up their organizations. This session can last as long as people want, up to 4 o'clock. We have considered whether we should invite senior advisors and/or other officials to accompany the newly appointed IG. While there would be some advantages, we believe that on balance it would be better to keep the group relatively small and focus this initial event on the IG themselves. There will of course need to be follow-up with them, their staff and those with related responsibilities. One of the aims of the seminar will be to help us to plan the future IG staff ~sistance that will be needed. Partly with that purpose in mind, • ._ _ and~of the DFID (AS I) Civil Service Reform project team will also be participating. We shall provide some further details in the next day or two.

(b)(2) CC: (b)(2) Subject: Oil Rehabilitation Anandng Fadlity @ Attachment : lraq-QifRehabilltationFacilityPreliminaryTerms(Word).doc (30 KB) Dear Mr. Ghadhban, I am writing on behalf of the Export-Import Bank of the United States ("Ex-Im Bank") to express our strong interest in working with the Iraq Ministry of Oil (the "Ministry") to develop a medium-term financing facility for rapid oil field rehabilitation projects (the "Projects"). As the Ministry desires, we could work with you to structure this financing as a general facility to support procurement for multiple projects or initially as a financing for a single project. A single project financing could serve as a model or be expanded to include additional projects in the future upon mutual agreement of the parties. Some preliminary thoughts on potential terms and structure for a single project financing are attached. We would also be interested in working, if the Ministry chooses, with a select number of export credit agencies from other nations in providing this financing. Such an approach would allow the Ministry to maximize its procurement options and terms for the Project, while minimizing any potential political sensitivities by making this a multinational effort. The attached preliminary terms and structures are indicative and do not represent a commitment on the part of Ex-rm Bank. If you are interested in further exploring these concepts or would like to discuss other alternatives, I would propose having a small team from Ex-Im Bank meet with Ministry personnel to develop a more definitive proposal. I will be in London during the second week of February if that would be a convenient time and place to pursue this further. Prior to such meeting and after receiving your comments on the structure, we could provide you with a more detailed term sheet that would be the focus of the meeting. We look forward to hearing any comments or questions you may have on this matter. http://by9fd.bay9 .hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg?msg=MSG 1074403579 .9&start=670 1671 &len=3462... 2/23/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000180 ...----------- -- MSN Hotmail - Message Page2 of2 Peter B.

(SES}; (b )(6) Cc: Bent, Rodney (SES-4); (b )(6) Subject: RE: Follow up to briefing Dawes, Robert (SES~2) It seems that the information required for the DFI Audit will be available because the highlighted sentence in the paragraph below is what the IAMB auditors would .be looking for - that we know the quantity of crude oil being sold and the sales price so the auditors can ensure that those sales prices are appropriate - with prevailing international market best practicesN - and that the total sale price is deposited into the Oil Proceeds Account with 95% then going into the DFI. ~consistent The question on the bartering process by SOMO is different. I understand that CPA has been moving SOMO away from those bartering contracts, to the cash sales basis. The question here is getting the data from SOMO on the amount of residual oil that is being bartered, the quantity and type of fuel that is being provided in return, and then the ability to determine the relative values of those two products. If there isn't a reliable periodic reconciliation of crude production to utilization that IAMB discusses, it may lead to questions for the auditors. From their perspective the question arises on the internal controls in place to ensure that there isn't [large scale] smuggling of crude going on. I don't know enough about the oil business to know if that's possible but that would be the question to answer. Should there be a relationship between the crude produced and the amount of crude sold or are there too many other variables within the refining portion? Again, from an auditor's perspective, another area to review would be once the product is either refined [or imported], are the controls in place to track quantity produced down to quantity delivered to the end user? Are losses in line with industry standard operations? However, I don't believe this review is within the scope of the audit. Will the SOMO auditors review that area? R.

This is just the way it has been done for years in Iraq. It's not something any of us like, but it is a fact. Bow, the only semi-reliable metering that is done ia on the export volumes th8mselves because they're putting the oil onto a ahip for a buyer, and the buyer obvioualy has to have some way of knowing what they bought. We do our best by using the Iraqis estimates of production, refining feed stocks, shrinkage, reinjection and 2/19/2004 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000185 Page 2 of2 exports to try to somewhat reconcile the numbers.

The recent signing of the United States legislation Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Defense and Reconstruction of Iraq by President Bush brings a much needed infusion of funds to our efforts in CPA.

Here is the timeline for accomplishing that: * 14 Nov - Produce procurement schedule and list of grants * 20 Nov - Consolidated list of projects with first cut on who the execution agent will be * 30 Nov - Submit draft plan to Bremer * 10 Dec - Submit plan to OMB DC for apportionment and Congress for notification 1 Feb - Contract awards IIRO needs your help to succeed. we must build a procurement and execution plan for both construction and non-construction dollars. This plan must provide descriptions and locations of projects to be performed, estimated costs, when each project is needed {when must it be completed, thus when must it start to meet that deadline), what must be procured and who should procure it, and when the procurement needs to occur. While we're preparing the plan we are authorb:ed to obligate up to 20% of the total, so IIRO, in coordination with the ministries, must also establish priorities within each ministry and across CPA. Your input to the plan is critical to our success.

Purpose/Objective: PRB #352 authorized Task Force RIO to undertake $961 million in infrastructure projects. Ambassador Bremer approved this action as PRB Allocation Request #6. To date, $716 million has been allocated from Appropriated Funds. $245 million is still required. Detailed Descriptions: a. Air Surveillance. In response to the increasing threat to the oil infrastructure, specifically pipelines, we propose to add aerial surveillance capabilities to the contracted security force. Erinys can provide dedicated support with the Air Scan system, which they have used before in other similar situations. The Air Scan system is a low-light television sensor mounted in a two- engine commercial aircraft A relay aircraft provides the downlink to the associated ground station. This system can provide the needed imagery with near-real time analysis and dissemination. Estimated Requirement: $10 Million. b. MOO Portion of Workplan projects. The Ministry of Oil agreed to accomplish a significant portion of the Workplan using their own labor, equipment. and contracting/procurement capabilities. However, they do not have the funds required to purchase the necessary equipment and to let contracts for work that cannot be completed with their own labor force, so their portion of the Workplan is not making optimum progress. These funds will complete the immediate funding needs ofthe Workplan e.ffort. Estimated Requirement: $193 Million. c. Personal Security for Ministry of Oil Director..(Jenerals (DGs). In early November, one of the Ministry of Oil DGs was the subject of an attack where he was wounded in the leg and his son was killed. As terrorists become bolder and increasingly desperate, Oil Executives become more likely targets for violent acts. Services are required to provide personal security for the 8 DGs for a period of 6 months. The Ministry of Oil will be responsible for procuring funding to extend the period of the contract beyond that point. Estimated Requirement $1.2 Million. d. Other security requirements. The fluid security environment has created many unanticipated security requirements. Some solutions that will be explored using these funds, if necessary, include hiring local tribes to guard infrastructure; selective hardening of particularly vulnerable sites; purchase of equipment to enhance security and communications among security forces; and others. Estimated Requirement; $5.8 Million. e. Small Projects. Several Army units have identified small oil infrastructure projects in their respective sectors that will have an impact on total fuel production and/or have a positive impact on other sectors such as industry or housing and construction. Some examples that have been proposed are restoring a fuel storage depot with a capacity of 10 million liters and completing a Propane Deasphalting Unit at Daura refinery. Numerous other project<; related to production and distribution exist throughout the country, and we would like the flexibility to approve these small projects if we determine the work meet our mission of restoring the Iraqi Oil Infratructure. This will be comparable to the Corps of Engineers small projects authority know as the "Continuing Authorities Program." These projects all are very inexpensive, use troop and local Iraqi assets, and build rapport between the various units and the Iraqi people. Estimated Requirement: $35 Million. 2. Justification: The most significant impacts of not providing this funding are: a. Continued reduction in retinery output due to pipeline sabotage. For example, Daura refinery was recently reduced to 50% of capacity due to sabotage of the pipelines supplying crude Form PRB-01 ver. 6/21/03 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000193 oil. The Erinys air surveillance will significantly reduce the frequency and severity of pipeline sabotage incidents. b. MOO portion of Phase l projects goes on bold. MOO has no money to perform their portion of the Work Plan. This seriously hampers progress across the entire Work Plan. Without this funding the goal of achieving a crude production level of 2.5 million per day will not be attained. 3. Coordination: The requirement has been coordinated with the Director of Oil Policy and the Director General of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil. 4. Goods and Commodities: Not applicable. 5. Project Implementation: All of the projects authorized by this request will be accomplished primarily with the use of small contrac- ts. Some of the funds will be used by the Ministry to purchase critical equipment. Some work will be accomplished by Iraqi Government employees using this equipment. Some work will be contracted out by the Ministry of Oil. Some work will be contracted through the CPA and managed by US Army units.

To fund the emergency import of LPG, Benzene, Kerosene and Diesel. 2. Justificatjon. The Iraqi domestic refining capacity has not yet been able to produce enough refined products to meet domestic daily needs for benzene, diesel, kerosene and LPG. Currently domestic production produces appoximatley 6. 7 million liters per day (lpd) of benzene vs a total daily requirement of 16 million lpd, approximately 10.4 million lpd of diesel vs a total daily requirement of 17 million lpd, approximately 7.5 million lpd of kerosene vs a total daily requirement of 12.0 million lpd and approximately 1072 tons per day (tpd) of LPG vs a total daily requirement of about 5200 tpd (production amounts update from last report to reflect lower values; consumption amounts updated from last request to reflect higher winter demands). The Coalition Forces have been attempting to import the balance through contracts executed by Task Force RlO, and through SOMO on both barter and cash contracts. TF RIO is currently under the operational command of the OCPA, Oil Ministry. In addition to importing fuel to meet the national demand there is a requirement to build reserves to offset increasing demand for the winter months. This request includes enough imports to build a 15 day supply of LPG, benzene, kerosene, and diesel. $100 million is being reserved for SOMO in this request. 3. Coordination. The requirement has been coordinated with the Director of Oil Policy, the Director General of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Finance, and Ambassador Bremer. 4. Goods and Commodities. Benzene, Kerosene, and Diesel are delivered primarily by truck from Kuwait or Turkey. LPG is delivered by truck from Turkey and Kuwait and via barge at the Khor Zubayr terminal. The monthly cost for all fuel deliveries based on forecasted production rates and projected imports by SOMO are as follows: Total RIO SOMO DEC Need $200,000,000 $1 50,000,000 $ 50,000,000 JAN Need $225,000,000 $175,000,000 $ 50,000,000 Total Need $425,000,000 $325,000,000 $100,000,000 Funds for RIO will be allocated through an Economy Act Order to the US Army Corps of Engineers to be obligated against their fuel import contract. 5. Project Implementation. The project manager is the USA Corps of Engineers, Task Force RIO, opconned to the OPCA Ministry of Oil. The RlO imports are executed through the RIO contractor, Kellog, Brown and Root (KBR). Other options, .including using existing Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) contracts, are being explored. Discussions are currently underway to tum the mission over to DESC, so that further imports may be conducted using funds from the Supplemental Appropriation. It will take some time to put appropriate contracts in place in accordance with the Law, as well as to have an orderly transition of the operational supervision of the import mission. It is expected that this transition can be complete no earlier than the end of January. All parties coordinated with have concurred in this recommended course of action. Form PRB-01 ver. 6/21/03 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000196 ·j ' The current amount allocated to imports through TF RIO by PRB#551 ($125,000,000) will be exhausted on or about 15 DEC 03. This request will fully fund imports through 31 JAN 04. It is the intention of the Director, Oil Policy to begin to reduce imports, in conjunction with expected increase of domestic refining capacity. Current projections are to signiticantly reduce the import of LPG via truck by the end of December 2003 and rely primarily on the imports via barge through the end of March, 2004. The import of benzene will continue through the end of January, 2004, due to the scheduled maintenance shut down of the Bayji Refinery in November through December. Quantities will be reduced, however, .as stocks are built up and refinery capacity i . ncreases. Diesel and Kerosene imports will continue through the end of March, 2004 but at reduced levels after December, 2003. This schedule, however, has been impacted by repeated oil pipeline breaks and electrical power shortages and by the smuggling of diesel. We continue to monitor the requirement a month at a time.

First, $20.8 Million to provide 7,500 Iraqi guards and US/expatriate management in direct support to Task Force Shield. Second, provide $1.2 Million to contract Personal Security Details (PSD)for Ministry of Oil Director-Generals. Justification: Terrorist threats against Iraqi oilfields, pipelines, pumping stations, refineries, oil workers and critical oil nodes have increased, inflicting significant damage to the Iraqi oil infrastructure. The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) through the Iraqi Oil Ministry provided initial funding in September 2003 to stand up an Iraqi Security Program consisting of a primarily Iraqi contract security force of6,400 personnel. a. As a consequence of the expanding insurgency and increased targeting against the oil infrastructure, a significant increase in force levels is required Detailed analysis by security and intelligence staff indicates that an additional guard force plus up of 7,500 Iraqi guards and support expatriate management staff is required. Without the immediate funding of this .requirement, fatalities against Coalition Forces and contract personnel will continue as well as attacks against oil infrastructure. In the last two weeks alone, KBR employees were attacked twice and sustained 1 KIA and 5 WIA. Oil will continue to be the main economic source of income for the government of Iraq. Without the ability of the CPA, Coalition Forces and the Oil Ministry to secure the critical oil infrastructure, production levels will never exceed pre-war levels.

Purpose/Objective: To allow the safe access to all areas of the AI Rumaylah North Oil Field to the Iraqi repair workers. Justification: Curren! infrastmcture repair under the Corp of Engineers (TF RIO) removed only those mines and UXO from around the oil wells that needed immediate emergency repair. This work concentrated on getting the oil fields running and producing crude oil for export to raise the needed capital for Iraqi reconstruction projects. To maximize and improve the flow of oil and thus increase the amount of exported crude, repair and maintenance work will have to be done on the rest of the North Rumaylah tields. The ultimate result will be the increase in crude oil production and an increase in needed capital tor Iraqi reconstruction. Coordination: Coordination with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the Corps of Engineers has been done and will be ongoing throughout the life of the project. Coordination and support with the Iraqi Mine Action Center has been done and will be on-going. Goods and Commodities: The Iraqi Mine Action Center has companies and support infrastructure in place to assist and coordinate the project. Project Implementation: Via contract. The Iraqi Mine Action Center has contracts within the country now that will be leveraged. The disbursement of funds will be through the Ministry of Oil. The Iraq Southern Oil Company under the direction of the Ministry of Oil will monitor the project. From contract implementation to assessment will take 4 weeks. Actual de-mining and UXO removal will commence 2 weeks after the assessment. Anticipated life of the project is 8 weeks. Cost Estimate: The requested cost estimate is based on an initial industry standard cost of $20,000 US to clear (I) acre to a (4) foot depth. Initial surveys estimate the total area requiring clearing to be approximately 1000 acres. Form PRB-0 1 vcr. 6/1 9/03 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000205 CPA FUNDING REQUEST t.

The original estimate of S 120,000 provided to the PRB was based on general conversations with potential auditors about the client and the services requested. The Request for Proposal (RFP) included a far more detailed scope of work requirement than was used to obtain preliminary estimates. We made a conscious decision to describe the assignment in general terms to maintain a level playing field for all prospective bidders. The detailed scope of work outlined in the RFP was likely more time consuming than estimated, requiring more hours of work to complete the assignment- now likely to cost $180,000.

PurposeiObjcctive: This Task Force is charged with the oversight and coordination of the various coalition efforts working to build the Iraqi oil infrastructure. The primary goal of the Task Force is to increase oil product flow from the ports and refineries in the south to the rest of Iraq. This increase will help to mitigate the shortage of heating, cooking, power and transportation fuel supplies throughout Iraq. Justification: Currently there is only one contractor with lodging available right now at the Basrah airport. AI-Bahar and Bardawil {B&B) have two trailers available immediately for the (4) Task Force members. Other lodging in Basrah proper is not suitable and/or geographically undesirable. The majority of project work will be south and west of Basra city proper. Due to the security environment and the avaialbitiy of escort services, the Task Force is more effective! deployed out the Basrah airport grounds. Coordination: Coordination with the Corps of Engineers. MND/SE and CPA South, has been done and will be ongoing throughout the life of the project. Goods and Commodities: Requesting sole source contract to B&B lodging at the airport. Justification for sole sourccing is based on the need to move in quickly, get the offices up and running under a short time frame. Because of the winter fuel demands, this Task force cannot wait for the contract process. KBR and other contractors with similar lodging are full and have no room and will not have additional lodging available for several months. B&B has tv.:o trailers immediately available in move in condition: Lodging includes (3) meals a day,laundry services and internet connectionioffice facilities at $120.00 USD per day per person. This price is cheaper than what TF RIO pays KBR and about the same as what TF RIE is paying their contractor for lodging. Project Implementation: Via sole source contract. The disbursement of funds will be through the CPA, Ministry of Oil. Cost Estimate: The requested cost estimate of $86,400 is based on a four man team at $l20.00USD per day for 180 days. Funds will be dispursed on a monthly basis.

Purpose. To fund the emergency import of LPG, Ben.mle, Kerosene and Diesel th~gh I May 2004. 2. Justification. The Iraqi domestic refining ¢apaeity bas not yet ·been able to produce Cl'JOUgh refm.ed products to meet domestic daily needs for benlene, dicse~ kerosene and LPG. Cu.rrently domestic production produces .appoxJmatfey 8 million l.itcrs per day (lpd) of benzene vs .~total daily n:quirement of 16.8 million lpd; approximately 11 million lpd of diesel vs a total ~ly n:quirement of 11.5 million lpd; approximately 8 million tpd ofbrosene vs a total daily ' requirement of 18 million lpd ( 1 S miUioo ipd. during the spring); and, approximately 25qO toos per day {tpd) of LPG vs a total daily requiMment of about S700 tpd. Coalition Po.rces have been attempting to import the balance through contracts executed by Task Force RJO. and thrqu.gh the Ministry ofOU (via SOMO) on both barter and cash eontntces. TF RlO is ewtently un~ the operational command of CPA-Oil. ln addition to importing fuel to meet the national dttnand, tbe1"e is a requirement to build ltcserves to offset increasing demand . This request include$ enough imports to continue to build ~ l S day supply ofLPG, benzene, kerosene, and diesel. The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) shall be awarding contracts to deliver :fuel tj) the Iraqi people. wm.mencing performance 1 April2004. Funding in this request shaU be utilized i to re.imburse CllStS associated with .D.ESCs contracts during the first month. $40 minion is ~uested for SOMO to contunuc their import attempts. 3. Coordination. The requirement has been coordinated wi:tb the Director of Oil Policy,~ Director General of the Jraqi Ministry ofOH, tho Minisuy of Finance. and Ambassador Bremer. 4. Goods and Commodities. Benzene, Kerosene, and Diesel are delivered primarily by tfUclt from Kuwait. Jordan or Turkey. LPG is delivered by truck from Turkey and Kuwait and via t+tse at the Kbor Zubayr terminal. The monthly wst for aU fuel deliveries a.sed on furecasted prodi,)ction rates and projected imports by both RIO and SOMO are as follows: FEB Need MAR Need APR Need Total $100,000,000 $265,000,000 $270,000,000 RIO $100.000,000 $245.000.000 $250,000,000 SOMO so s 20,000,000 s 20.000.000 Total Need $595,000,000 Funds for RIO will be allocated through an Economy Act ()rdcr to the US Army Corps of Engineer's to be obligated against current and com.petitively bid future fuel import contraCt$. 5. Projeot Implementation. The project manager is the USA Corps ofEngineers, Task F~ RlO, opconned to the PCA Mini.stry of Oil. The RIO importS are executed through the RIO ~tractor. Kellog. Brown and Root (KBR). On 1 April2004, ;OESC will execute that portion of the import mission currently assigned to KBR. The hand-off is cunentJy underway to ensure a smooth implementation. As SOMO increases thei.r share of the imports. funds will be reaUocateli from the R10 share of this request. into the SOMO share. The total fundiDJ requited for the import mi.sdon shaH remain basically the same as we transition from KSR to DESC exccuctlon. and then ultimately on to SOMO executing the mission-minus the difference in the efficiencies between SOMO and RlO execution.

Purpose: Emergency Response Pipeline Repair Operation (ERPRO) A contract is being awarded to provide the technology, tools, equipment, training, and personnel to implement a suitable ERPRO tor quick response and restoration of pipeline service for all pipelines in the Central and Northern regions of lraq. The intent is to implement the ERPRO contract on an immediate basis while training local Iraqi technicians and operators to transfer technical capability and responsibilities with minimal foreign ex-patriate supervision or labor within a practical transitional period and contract timeframe. This capability will eventually be transferred to tbe Ministry of Oil (MOO) under one of the designated operating companies, and funded under the MOO operating budget. Contract is for two teams, one located near Bayji refinery in the north, and the other in the vicinity of the Oil Pipeline Company yard at the AI Daurah refinery, Baghdad. The initial cost estimate was for $25M, but included a significant requirement on the Government's behalf to provide security, heavy airlift transportation. and additional contract services for local equipment and personnel. Under a competitive bid process, the low bidder structured their proposal within this cost estimate but included a number of significant open ended obligations for the Government to pay at a later date. The other bidder's proposal cost was 99M Euros. ($124.38M at 02/5/04 rate of0.795945 dollars /euro.) The contracting activity detennined that it could not obligate to an unspedftc open ended obligation and requested the contractor define the additional requirements under a finn fixed price environment. The contractor defined these costs which will require additional funds to award. 2. Justification. Continued reduction in refinery output due to pipeline sabotage. For example, Daurah refinery was recently reduced to 50% of capacity due to sabotage of the pipelines supplying crude oil. Bayji is currently at reduced capacity due to a reduced crude flow and the inability to remove residual fuel oil from the refining process due to a recent sabotage event East of the AI Fatah crossing. Reduction in the length of time pipelines are non-operational will significantly reduce the losses (directly affecting crude exports and volume produced for petroleum product imports). Rapid repair will also make the pipelines a less lucrative target for saboteurs by minimizing the impact of the breaks. Rapid repair capability can also restore current inoperative pipelines and increase the revenue to export, and increase the production of the refineries with a corresponding decrease in refined fuel import costs. The initial RIO cost estimate was $25M based on limited market research and order of magnitude pricing data. At the time, security, transportation, life support, and contract support workers was not specifically addressed. When the initial proposals came in, these items were ex.cluded from the proposal but were required to be supplied by the Government. This PRB request is for the "delta" of$34.4M that funds the items not included in the original cost estimate and not addressed in the statement of objectives--but is still required for successful execution of the project. The Government could elect to provide contract support, security, air transportation, and work site life support as a separate obligation or with military assets. This request will make the contractor fully responsible for all aspects of the operation and not overburden an already strained set of assets that are needed for combat support. Fonn PRB-01 ver. 6121103 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000217 . , 4 I 3. Coordination. The requirement has been coordinated with the Director of Oil Policy and the CPA Chief Operating Officer. The initial contract proposal was approved by AMB Bremer. 4. Goods and Commodities .. N/A 5. Project Implementation. The current contract proposal has gone through a competitive bid process, has been evaluated as the superior technical proposal, and even with the cost growth due to the incotpOration of prior Government support items is below the next competitive bid, and can be directly awarded by the CPA contracting office. The item that stands out in this proposal is the IMMEDIATE mobilization of worldwide personnel, equipment, manpower and support services to directly execute the mission of restoration of the pipeline network and capability to repair any sabotage or attack on the pipeline. Partial capability to execute this mission is attained in weeks after notice to proceed. Full capability is expected in 7 weeks after NTP will complete heavy repair and training capability. With the contract evaluation and the competitive bid process, this proposal is considered fair and reasonable by the CPA contracting office now, and is evaluated as technicaJly sufficient now . f ' (b )(6) DepufiPro DSN (b)(2) - ~; Management \Task force RlO Fonn PRB-Ol ver. 6/21/03 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000218 CPA FUNDING REQUEST ita CPA Office/Unit: Ministr of Oil Amount of Request: 200000000.00 Project Location: Iraq-all regions (Region) Email Address: (b)(2) 1.

Purpose. Iraq holds more than 112 billion barrels of oil- the world's second largest proven reserves. Iraq also contains 110 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Overall, only about 2,000 wells reportedly have been drilled in Iraq (of which about 1,500-1,700 are actually capable of producing oil). Iraq's main export crudes come from the country's two largest active fields: Rumaila and Kirkuk. Oil industry experts generally assess Iraq's sustainable production capacity at no higher than about 2.8-2.9 million bblld, with net export potential of around 2.3-2.5 million bbl/d. In comparison, Iraq was producing 3.5 million bbl/d in July 1990. Iraq's southern oil industry was decimated in the Gulf War, with production capacity falling to 75,000 bbl/d in mid-1991. The largest producing oil field in this region is Rumaila. The war resulted in destruction of gathering centers and compression/degassing stations at the Rurnaila field. Other problems at Iraqi oil fields include: years of poor oil reservoir management; corrosion problems at various oil facilities; deterioration of water injection facilities; lack of spare parts, materials, equipment, etc.; damage to oil storage and pumping facilities; and more. World economic experts estimate that Iraq could reach production capacity of 4.2 million bbl/d within three years and 4.5-6.0 million bbl/d within seven years. 2. Justification. The South Oil Company's oil production is now close to its pre-war limit. Further oil production increases can be expected after water injection rehabilitation and repairs of existing wells (workover and well completion operations). However, it is not feasible to achieve long term production increase and sustainability without drilling new wells. SOC plans a 60-well drilling campaign to address the long term stability of crude oil production. The drilling program covers wells that can be easily tied to the existing oil infrastructure with negligible cost (South Rumaila, Buzurgan, Jabal Faqui) or with minimum expenditures for expansion of the oil facilities ( South Rumaila Mishrif, Majnoon, Nahr Umar, West Qurna). Further production enhancements can be expected in conjunction with the new drilling program. The South Oil Company plans to execute a well intervention program. For instance, there are 15 wells which are former producers from the Zubair formation in the south that once returned to production would yield 4,000 per well. Similar actions can be taken in the northern fields. 3. Coordination. The requirement has been coordinated with the Director of Oil Policy, the Director General of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Finance, and Ambassador Bremer. 4. Goods and Commodities. A drilling campaign in conjuction with a planned workover program would help substain and actually increase crude oil production from existing oil fields. The return on expenditures would be realized from the replacement of production that has been shutin due to well problems, sabotage, or from natural decline. Additional incremental revenues would be realized as new/repaired Gas Oil Separation Facilities come on line or as new export points become available. 5. Project Implementation. The Ministry of Oil has capital improvement projects that have been in the planning stages for the past year pending receipt of funds to continue. In addition to the above, there are currently 3 construction/improvement projects where the Ministry is soliciting tenders for construction. The Ministry would be responsible for gathering and reviewing the tenders and selecting the most responsive bidder. The Ministry will oversee all work. Project includes: a. Development ofKHURMALA Dome Projects/Kirkuk Field b. Hamrin Oil Field Development Project c.

Purpose/Objective: This Task Force is charged with the oversight and coordination of the various coalition efforts working to build the Iraqi oil infrastructure. The primary goal of the Task Force is to increase oil product flow from the ports and refineries in the south to the rest of Iraq. This im:rease will help to mitigate the shortage of heating, cooking, power and transportation fuel supplies throughout Iraq. Justification: Currently there is only one contractor with lodging available right now at the Basrah airport Al-Bahar and Bardawil (B&B) have two trailers available immediately for the (4) Task Force members. Other lodging in Basrah proper is not suitable and/or geographically undesirable. The majority of project work will be south and west of Basra city proper. Due to the security environment and the avaialbitiy of escort services, the Task Force is more effective) deployed out the Basrah airport grounds. Coordination: Coordination with the Corps of Engineers, MND/SE and CPA South, has been done and will be ongoing throughout the life of the project. Goods and Commodities: Requesting sole source contract to B&B lodging at the airport. Justification for sole sourceing is based on the need to move in quickly, get the offices up and running under a short time frame. Because of the winter fuel demands, this Task force cannot wait for the contract process. KBR and other contractors with similar lodging are full and have no room and will not have additional lodging available for several months. B&B has two trailers immediately available in move in condition: Lodging includes (3) meals a day,launchy services and jnternet connection/office facilities at $ J 20.00 USD per day per person. This price is cheaper than what TF RIO pays KBR and about the same as what TF RIE is paying their contractor for lodging. Project Implementation: Via sole source contract. The disbursement of funds will be through the CPA, Ministry of Oil. Cost Estimate: The requested cost estimate of $86,400 is based on a four man team at $120.00USD per day for 180 days. Funds will be dispursed on a monthly basis. Form PRB-01 ver. 6/19/03 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000227 . ) CPA FUNDING REQUEST (b)(2) 1.

Purpose/Objective: To allow the safe access to all areas of the Al Rumaylah North Oil Field to the Iraqi repair workers. Justification: Current infrastructure repair under the Corp of Engineers (TF RIO) removed only those mines and UXO from around the oil wells that needed immediate emergency repair. This work concentrated on getting the oil fields running and producing crude oil for export to raise the needed capital for Iraqi reconstruction projects. To maximize and improve the flow of oil and thus increase the amount of exported crude, repair and maintenance work will have to be done on the rest of the North Rumaylah fields. The ultimate result will be the increase in crude oil production and an increase in needed capital for Iraqi reconstruction. Coordination: Coordination with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the Corps of Engineers has been done and will be ongoing throughout the life of the project. Coordination and support with the Iraqi Mine Action Center has been done and will be on-going. Goods and Commodities: The Iraqi Mine Action Center has companies and support infrastructure in place to assist and coordinate the project. Project Implementation: Via contract. The Iraqi Mine Action Center has contracts within the country now that will be leveraged. The disbursement of funds will be through the Ministry of Oil. The Iraq Southern OiJ Company under the direction of the Ministry of Oil will monitor the project. From contract implementation to assessment will take 4 weeks. Actual de-mining and UXO removal will commence 2 weeks after the assessment. Anticipated life of the project is 8 weeks.

Justification: Terrorist threats against Iraqi oilfields, pipelines, pumping stations, refineries, oil workers and critical oil nodes have increased, inflicting significant damage to the Iraqi oi1 infrastructure. The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) through the Iraqi Oil Ministry awarded a contract to ERINYS International in September 2003 to stand up an Iraqi Oil Security Program. This contract mandated that ERINYS International hire, train and equip 6,400 Iraqi guards and 40 roving patrols to protect 175 oil facilities to include critical nodes along the 7,000 kilometer pipeline. a. As a consequence of the expanding insurgency and increased targeting against the oil infrastructure, a significant increase in force levels is required. Detailed analysis by security and intelligence staff indicates that an additional guard force of7,500 Iraqi guards and support expatriate management staff is required. Without the inunediatc funding ofthls requiremc:ot. fatalities against Coalition Forces and contract personnel will continue as well as attacks against oil infrastructure. In the last two weeks alone, KBR employees were attacked twice and sustained l KIA and 5 WIA. Oil will continue to be the main economic source of income for the government ofiraq. Without the ability of the CPA, Coalition Forces and the Oil Ministry to secure the critical oiJ infrastructure, production levels will never exceed pre-war levels. Estimated Requirement: $20.8 Million. b. Personal Security for Ministry of Oil Director-Generals (DGs). In early November, one of the Ministry of Oil DGs was the subject of an attack where he was wounded in the leg and his son was killed. As terrorists become bolder and increasingly desperate, Oil Executives become more likely targets for violent acts. Services are required to provide personal security for the 8 DGs for a period of 6 months. The Ministry of OH will be responsible for procuring funding to extend the period of the contract beyond that point. Estimated Requirement: $1.2 Million. This is in addition to the SlO million already authorized for air BUTVeillance. Coordination: This requirement bas been coordinated with the Senior Advisor to the Ministry of Oil. and with the Director of Studies and Planning for the Ministry of Oil Goods and Commodities: None; these are service contracts. Project Implementation: ERINYS International can commence implementation immediately and will have completed implementation within 90 days.

Purpose/Objective: To fund critical oil infrastructure security requirements. Detailed Description: a. Air Surveillance. Jn response to the increasing threat to the oil infrastructure, specifically pipelines, we propose to add aerial surveillance capabilities to the contracted security force. Erinys can provide dedicated support with the Air Scan system, which they have usod before in other similar situations. The Air Scan system is a low-light television sensor mounted in a two- engine commercial aircraft. A relay aircraft provides the downlink to the associated ground station. This system can provide the needed imagery with near-real time analysis and dissemination. Estimated Requirement: $10 Million. 2. Justification: The most significant impact of not providing this funding is continued reduction in refmery output due to pipeline sabotage. For example, Daura refmery was recently reduced to 500~ of capacity due to sabotage of the pipelines supplying crude oil. The Erinys air surveillance will significantly reduce the frequency and severity of pipeline sabotage incidents. 3. Coordination: The requirement bas been coordinated with the Director of Oil Policy and the Director Genenl of the Iraqi Ministry of OiL 4. Goods and Commodities: Not app1icable. 5.

Purpose. To fund the emergency import of LPG, Benzene, Kerosene and Diesel. 2. Justification. The Iraqi domestic refming capacity has not yet been able to produce enough refined products to meet domestic daily needs for benzene, diesel, kerosene and LPG. Currently domestic production produces appoximatley 6. 7 million liters per day (lpd) of benzene vs a total daily requirement of 16 million lpd, approximately 10.4 million .lpd of diesel vs a total daily requirement of J 7 million lpd, approximately 7.5 million lpd of kerosene vs a total daily requirement of 12.0 million lpd and approximately 1072 tons per day (tpd) of LPG vs a total daily requirement of about 5200 tpd (production amounts update from last report to reflect lower values; consumption amounts updated from last request to reflect higher winter demands). The Coalition Forces have been attempting to import the balance through contracts executed by Task Force RIO, and through SOMO on both barter and cash contracts. TF RIO is currently under the operational command of the OCPA, Oil Ministry. In addition to importing fuel to meet the national demand there is a requirement to build reserves to offset increasing demand for the winter months. This request includes enough imports to build a t 5 day supply of LPG, benzene, kerosene, and diesel. $100 million is being reserved for SOMO in this request. 3. Coordination. The requirement has been coordinated with the Director of Oil Policy, the Director General of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Finance, and Ambassador Bremer. 4. Goods and Commodities. Benzene, Kerosene, and Diesel are delivered primarily by truck from Kuwait or Turkey. LPG is delivered by truck from Turkey and Kuwait and via barge at the Khor Zubayr tenninal. The monthly cost for all fuel deliveries based on forecasted production rates and projected imports by SOMO are as follows: DEC Need JAN Need Total $200,000,000 $225,000,000 RIO s 150,000,000 $175,000,000 SOMO s 50,000,000 $ 50,000,000 Total Need $425,000,000 $325,000,000 $100,000,000 Funds for RIO will be allocated through an Economy Act Order to the US Army Corps of Engineers to be obligated against their fuel import contract. 5. Project Implementation. The project manager is the USA Corps of Engineers, Task Force RIO, opconned to the OPCA Ministry of Oil. The RIO imports are executed through the RIO contractor, Kellog, Brown and Root (KBR). Other options, including using existing Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) contracts, are being explored. Discussions are currently Wlderway to tum the mis5ion over to DESC, so that further imports may be conducted using funds from the Supplemental Appropriation. It will take some time to put appropriate contracts in place in accordance with the Law, as well as to have an orderly transition of the operational supervision of the import mission. It is expected that this transition can be complete no earlier than the end of January. All parties coordinated with have concurred in lhis recommended course of action. Form PRB-01 ver. 6/21/03 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000237 . "' ··--··-------·----- - · · -- - .... ....... The current amount allocated to imports through TF RIO by PRB#55l ($125,000,000) will be exhausted on or about 1 S DEC 03. This request will fully fund imports through 31 JAN 04. It is the intention of the Director, Oil Policy to begin to reduce imports, in conjunction with expected increase of domestic refining capacity. Current projections are to significantly reduce the import of LPG via truck by the end of December 2003 and rely primarily on the imports via barge through the end of March, 2004. The import of benzene will continue througlt the end of January, 2004, due to the scheduled maintenance shut down of the Bayji Refinery in November through December. Quantities will be reduced, however, as stocks are built up and refinery capacity increases. Diesel and Kerosene imports will continue through the end of March. 2004 but at reduced levels after December, 2003. This schedule, however, has been impacted by repeated oil pipeline breaks and electrical power shortages and by the smuggling of diesel. We continue to monitor the requirement a month at a time.

I 1 March 2004 Ambassador L. Pa/fmer Dear Jerry, I I absolutely regret not being able to see you before 1 departed from Baghdad this morning. but I understand exactly what important work on the Transitional Law you are trying to accomplish. I hope you are soon successful on this effort. l wanted to reiterate what I've said to you in the past and that is how much I was honored to be a part of your team. You are of course making history here and I feel that, when the dust fmally settles, Iraq and the world will be better off by what you've done. So please accept my congratulations for a job well done. I've attached a couple of things. The first is today's RIO SitRep. I've had four or five major objectives that you and I agreed on when I came as follows: • Production and exports were about 1.8 and 1.1 million barrels a day respectively when I arrived back in September and today they set new highs of2.54 and probably 1.9 million barrels a day. Both of these are near or at pre-war levels, and while the numbers are probably not completely accurate due to the lack of metering in the country, they are still indicative of a continually upward trend. They also fulfil two important Aprill•1 milestones for CPA. Two of my most pursued goals were to get the IT line back in operation and to get the Khor al Amaya terminal open again. Both of those, at least today, are open and are key to continuing the upward trend in production and exports. • Through a magnificent effort that doesn't get near the credit it deserves, Iraqis made it through the >vinter in better shape, relative to fuel products, than they've enjoyed in a long, long time and it was done without any civil disobedience to speak of. You should, when you have the time, pause to reflect on the great humanitarian effort you authorized and directed. Our major effort now· has to be to make SOMO and the rest of the Oil Ministry capable of continuing this effort post-June 30m. And this training is well- organized and underway. SOMO's import performance is already improving, if you judge the SitReps recently. • We basically have an effective oil security force in place and they will continue to get better. I feel strongly that it is at least in part because of this increased capability that attacks on our infrastructure are down and we have finally gotten a few weeks of oil being put in the IT pipeline. ., r -~~ , A; ~ (C\ ~· ~, I..J l.. -{ \ G ·<:-- '>(' \ · ~ "'-.\... nv--~- !2 \.~ ~ ~ ., f) "~e >_J_ Again, one of our mainjobs is to ensure that this security force is sustained~ ~ June 30th and that the oil ministry is truly capable of assuming the command. ~ This effort is also well-organized and underway. /" • We have made progress in getting the ministry restructured and operating under very high standards of conduct. But if I have a disappointment, it is that this effort is not further along. I feel strongly that, among all your other priorities, you need to help Mike Stinson and the team get over the bump here, even if it means taking some unilateral actions such as imposing a structure on the minister or getting directly involved in personnel actions- You certainly don't need me to point this out, but if we get this right, it will be one of the key building blocks in achieving the Coalition's goals in this country. Note that I have started the PRB paperwork, in consultation with Rodney Bent, to procure $200 million for the Oil Ministry's capital budget. You and I have discussed this many times and you will recall that we agreed we would provide this money to them when they began to make significant progress towards reform. While they are not there yet, I wanted to have this taken care of so that it would be available when you and Mike Stinson agree on the exact timing for providing it to them. I didn't mean to get this long-winded, but wanted to say again how much 1 appreciated your faith in me by asking me to take this job on. I win always remember it as a highlight of my life and oil industry career. Finally, I'll end on a lighter note. 1've attached a picture of you that appeared in the Houston Chronicle in mid-September, just days after r accepted the Sr Advisor position and as 1 was packing for Baghdad. It was the . first time I'd ever seen your face. At th. e time, I thought that the camera angle made it look like you were kissing some guy with a white beard and a turban,. so I was going to bring the picture to tease you a little bit (assuming I got to know you well enough to do so). Of course, among all the other things I've learned since I've been here, I found out you really VlERF kissing the guy.

Feith, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy 41 ·I·· I·~ SUBJECT: Enabling Execution of Contingency Plans for Iraqi Oil Infrastructure~ • ~The OSD-led interagency group dealing with Iraqi oil issues recommends that you designate the Army as Executive Agent for this program. You directed CENTCOM and my office to develop contingency plans for continuity of oil production and sales. If these plans are to be executed there needs to be an overall executive agent that will be responsible for planning, coordinating and administering the execution. If you approve the recommendation, General Franks will retain overa11 responsibi1ity to develop and execute plans in the context of a US military occupation oflraq. The Army will have responsibility for planning, coordination and execution of the operation for the Iraq oil industry including but not limited to the following tasks: Establish and coordinate program requirements with the Joint Staff and USD(P); Budget for program execution in coordination with USD (Comptroller); Establish a program office as soon as possible; Coordinate acquisition strategy with USD(AT&L); Negotiate, but not award, a contract for execution with the developer of the plan that can be awarded as soon as the Army receives direction to execute the d2-·dc1 plan; Coordinate policy matters with USD(P); and 1)\'\ of~u Ll~e.J -!i~s r..~e \..&.> •-ti....

Plan for competition for the execution effort at the earliest reasonable opportunity consistent with the needs of the mission. • ~ The plan assumes that any execution would be immediately after hostilities, during a U.S. military occupation under the control of the Central Command. • $)The OSD-led interagency group is now refining a draft Contingency Support Plan for repairing and operating the Iraqi petroleum industry. We expect the plan will be ready for your review by mid-January 2003. To be poised to execute the plan immediately if directed to do so, we need to engage the right organizations to budget for and manage the execution phase of the plan. As a new program, this effort has no owner and no funding. Best to worst case estimates for the execution phase range from $0.8 bi11ion to more than $3.5 billion.

SUBJECT: Status of Fuel Contracts (KBR and DESC) • 1) KBR negotiations with AI Tanmia for increasing the fuel impOrts from Kuwait are close to an impasse, which we are monitoring closely. The status of the negotiations is: • According to US Embassy Kuwait, AI Tanmia is the only authorized "sole source" for fuel from Kuwait. AI Tanmia is not experienced with contracts that must comply with US Federal Acquisition Regulations and this is particularly an issue in view of the recent KBR publicity. . • The fuel price is competitive; however, the transportation cost is uncompetitive and is approximately 65% greater than other companies. (SOMO has recently entered negotiations with AI Tanmia and has encountered a similar price differential for fuel delivered to Baghdad as compared to its current suppliers from the Gulf. SOMO continues to be our best alternative for near-term supplies.) • KBR has requested a best and final offer which is needed if a sole source contract can be utilized. AI Tanmia requested and was given a letter of intent to purchase. • AI Tanmia has NOT responded with an offer. • Additional recent publicity, apparently inaccurate, surrounding the DCAA audit, has made the situation more problematical for KBR and has contributed to their conservative approach to the negotiations. · 2) DESC is moving to take over fuel contracts. However, DESC wiU probably not be rapid enough to have a significant impact and will also use limited competition contracts for a short period. • DESC previously: 1) Sent a team to evaluate the current fuel contracts with KBR, 2) Sent a single individual to observe the CJTF-7ffF RIO Fuel Distribution Team. • . DESC currently has a single individual in Baghdad to make logistics preparations for a team to arrive in mid-January. FOIA 09-826 CPA 000327 , .. . • ' " The DESC team arriving in mid-January plans to use 60-90 day sole source or limited competition bridge contracts until full and open source contracts are in place in mid- April. Mid-April fuel import requirements will be less than half of current requirements. Note that CPA Oil and TF RIO are reviewing methods to gradually transfer all import purchasing and delivery to SOMO with a goal of having this complete end-April. ~- UNCLASSIFIED 2 FOIA 09-826 CPA 000328 • ~ --~- · . ~~--~--- - ------------ r tfliJI t,o 3/ COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY BAGHDAD November 16, 2003 MEMORANDUM To: Mr. Nabil Lamousa, Director General of Planning, Ministry of Oil Through: Robert McKee SUBJECT: Assisting the Ministry of Electricity with Fuel Planning Dear Mr. Lamousa, I would like to thank you and your associates at the Ministry of Oil for your assistance in our efforts to restore the power to Iraq to a stable, pre-war level. This pre- war goal has been achieved, but only meets about half of the country's actual electricity needs. As you know, we are now in a major effort to increase the level of power to provide the Iraqi citizens, businesses and industries with sufficient power to meet the needs of a growing economy over the coming years. The first stage to increase power involves the work of USAID through their contractor Bechtel, and the US Army's Task Force Restore Iraqi Electricity (TF RIE). These entities have been interacting extensively with you in coordination with the Ministry of Electricity (ME) through the Fuel Task Force. I understand there has been some confusion as to points of contact, and in response Mr. Randy Richardson prepared the attached memo to Dr. Aiham Al-Sammarei, who agreed with the proposal contained therein. The second stage involves $5.56 Billion of funding for this sector, nearly $3 billion of which will go to new generation. We recognize that MOO does not have the budget to build the fuel transmission infrastructure to the level needed to support this generation. Therefore, per my verbal request of a week ago, I kindly request that you assist us in the planning effort for this additional electrical capacity. The matrices attached are only slightly improved from those I gave you and your team last week. The questions I pose are the following, for each site or for multiple sites if they can be addressed with a single project: what is the fuel infrastructure for transmission and processing that would be needed to make the project possible, and approximately how much would that work cost? FOIA 09-826 CPA 000329 • Unfortunately, as with many things in this post-war reconstruction effort, we are on a highly accelerated timeframe. We need to have a rough idea on needs and costs by November 20th. The input you provide can certainly be very rough; the principle goal here is for us to convey the need to the US Congress and build in justifiable project components as early as possible. Once these projects are submitted, our Bearing Point consultants wilJ be embarking on a Master Planning effort, and would very much enjoy a closer and high quality interaction with you as we move forward in this sector. While Mr. Randy Richardson, the CPA Senior Advisor for Electricity is out of town, I will be the sole point of contact for the effort described above. Kindest regards, (b )(6) P!eputy Senior Advisor - Electricity Attachments: 1. Memorandum to the Minister of Electricity 2. Matrices on fuel needs for combustion turbines and steam power plants.

Bent, OMB SUBJECf: Supplemental Decisions We need your guidance on several issues with respect to the supplemental. I've attached the latest version of our table, along with draft copies of the justification material we propose to send to CPA/Washington following your approval. This material would serve as the basis for seeking OMB apportionment of funding to CPA and subsequent notification to Congress. Issue# 1: Move $124 million in supplemental funding from the New Iraqi Army to the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps. The additional funding for the ICDC would enable it to stand up 36 battalions with 10 brigade headquarters. This number of battalions is double the original proposal in the supplemental, which had one battalion in each of the 18 govemates. Our reconunendation would decrease NIA funding from $2.0 billion to $1.876 billion and increase funding for the ICDC from $76 million to $200 million. We are working with CJTF to identify how we would revise the NIA requirements. • Recommend moving $124 million from the NIA to the ICDC to enable it to double its size to36 battalions. Approve: Disapprove: Approve with modification: Issue #2: Move $189 million in funding from the purchase of emergency supplies of refined petroleum products to (1) increase spending by $168 million on democracy building activities and (2) increase spending by $31 million on private sector development and banking system DlOdernization. Given the proposed transfer of sovereignty by July 2004, we believe it important to spend additional funds on governance and other activities that will improve the odds of successful political and economic transition. At the moment, we are planning on spending $550 million ofDFI on refined petroleum imports, which should fill estimated requirements through the end of January. From February forward, the current estimate of additional needs for these imported products is approximately $420 million through the end of the spring, by which time we hope domestic refining capacity will be available. As the supplemental includes $690 million for purchases of these products, we may have more funding UNCLASSIFIED FOIA 09-826 CPA 000331 COALITION PROVISIONAL. AUTHORITY BAGHDAD than needed. The supplemental specifies that we can only take 10% from any functional category, so we can only moved $189 million from the $1,890 million for oil infrastructure. • Recommend moving $189 million from emergency oil imports to increase spending on governance activities. Approve: Disapprove: Approve with modification Issue #3: Move SlO milllou from the witness protection program and $5 million from teclmical investigative methods to the r~onstruction of detention facilities. • Move $15 million from the witness protection program andtechnical investigative methods to the reconstruction of detention facilities. Approve: Disapprove: Approve with modification: There are two issues of which you should be aware. First, AID is sending you a memo under separate cover in which it lays out what it believes are its spending requirements. Some of these requirements may possibly be accommodated within the increased amounts above for governance issues. Other spending requests would require us to create new categories with offsets from existing categories. Second, there are some explicit spending requirements within the supplemental that will have to be accommodated within broad spending categories. As an example, .. not less than" $6 million shall be made available for administrative expenses of the Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Control.

E. Dr Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum Minister of Oil Subject: Capital Investment Budget for 2004 Thamir Gbadhban submitted a letter to CPA dated 9 November 2003 requesting the status of the Oil Ministry capital budget for 2004. Because of the importance of this subject, it is more appropriate that our response be directed to you. Presently, the Ministry has no capital budget allocated for its sole control in 2004. As such, I want to take the time to explain to you just how we should proceed over the next couple of months. The Supplemental that was signed by the President includes funding of $1.2 billion for oil infrastructure projects and $690 million for the purchase of petroleum products. These are US government appropriated funds, so they will be administered by the US Anny Corps ofEngineers or similar organization of the US government. The $1.2 billion will be used to complete the remaining projects of the work plan agreed to last July as well as the new projects that have been identified for the USACE to administer, under the name of Task Force RIO. In addition, there will be a need for additional oil infrastructure capital for the Ministry. How do we attain and manage this capital? We had hoped that completion of a national petroleum regime and transition to the INOC structure would be further along by now, allowing for an efficiently-managed capital investment program among other things. Therefore, it is important to reiterate that I cannot support any additional funding until 1) a national petroleum regime is defined and published and 2) a national oil company is established and we are satisfied the appropriate management processes and financial controls are defined. Per our previous discussions, I know that you are supportive of these very important undertakings and intend to implement them this coming January, after consultation and guidance from CPA and the Governing Council. If money is required prior to either of these two conditions being satisfied, all requests will have to be justified and presented to my office for review, and only emergency funding will be considered. If I agree, we would then seek approval from the Program F 0 lA 09-826 CPA 000333 Review Board for each project. My feeling is that you and your Ministry would not be at all happy with this process. However, when the two conditions ARE satisfied I intend to work with Ambassador Bremer to provide a capital budget which will be solely controlled and administered through INOC, without any day-to-day oversight by CPA. This is a significant step in our being able to return the oil business completely to Iraqi direction and control. I would recommend you continue your planning such that the Ministry is prepared to submit a detailed capital budget for 2004 to CPA in January. Meanwhile, Task Force RIO will be working to complete its approved work program and mission separately from the capital budget discussed above. Sincerely, Senior Advisor Iraqi Oil Ministry Cc: Amb L.

UNCLASSIFIED 2 F 0 lA 09-826 CPA 000348 os!Z/7-36 COALITION PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY BAGHDAD December 17,2003 To: The Administrator From: Ministry of Oil (Erik Nelson) Subject: Main Report Submission for Oil Oil Infrastructure • - . • Pllmp $Ilion ---· PipeliN Crude Oil --·--111-· --LPG -- . ~ LPG Plant -""·- Pipeline 011 Product • Cewll Pllnt ;._:_.:~, Gn Hlldl QOSP -- -OI&O.F- N A I \- \ \ '-------~---·---· Project Code 50000: Infrastructure (Robert McKee) The Iraqi Oil Infrastructure was damaged in the beginning of the war and extensively looted soon afterwards. Oil is the most abundant natural resource in Iraq, and thus the mainstay of the Iraqi economy. It is extremely important that the capabilities of this sector be restored quickly to sustainable levels of production. Oil Infrastructure Restoration is unique in that it is the only sector in which every dollar invested, either directly or indirectly, provides a growing return on investment in the tangible form of direct revenue to the Iraqi people for future reconstruction. The coalition has assisted the Iraq Ministry of Oil in making progress towards reestablishing pre-war production levels. However, more must be done to lay the foundation for the national economic recovery, and to ensure that Iraq bas the revenue for a self- sustaining government. Factors that must be addressed include continued repair of war damage and repair of looting damage. At the same time, continued terrorist sabotage activity is hampering progress. The funds requested will be used to repair the infrastructure, counter the terrorist threat to protect the current investments, and to compensate for the losses that are a direct result of previous successful terrorist attacks. Once production has stabiliz.ed, funds will then be used to continue to improve the Iraqi petroleum production systems with the ultimate goal of restoring pre-war production levels. FUNDS 2003 2004 2005 Development Fund for Iraq $222M 0 0 Iraqi Bud2et $78M 0 0 Category Projected Projected Start Spendln~r Date Construction Initial Mobilization $50M December, 2003 Actual Construction $759M February, 2004 Procurement $323M December, 2003 Security $68M February, 2004 Total $1,200M NOTE. See attached project descripttons for detwls. Oil Infrastructure Restomtion projects fall generally into three categories: Construction, Procurement, and Security. All three categories, while distinct, complement and support each other in order to meet the goals of Public Law (PL) 108-106, to provide "security, relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction in Iraq[.]" Security, one of the specific purposes stated in PL 108-106, is required to protect the current infrastructure, provide a safe working environment, and preserve the gains that are made in the restoration. This will be accomplished through the use of mainly Iraqi guard forces throughout the nation at key infrastructure locations. Procurement of equipment will enable the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and its subordinate operating companies to rehabilitate the currently operational infrastructure, and to begin reconstruction of that which was damaged or destroyed. Procurement also includes petroleum product imports intended to avert a humanitarian crisis while the production infrastructure is brought to the point where it can keep pace with national consumption. To use the terms in PL 108-106, this will provide "relief' to the Iraqi people. Given a secure environment to work in, the confidence that the work done will not be undone by criminal acts, and the tools to actually do the work, the final piece--- Construction-wi11 be the part which can mostly easily be shown to be a direct investment in the future of Iraq. Rehabilitation and restoration of the oil production and oil products production infrastructure is the only portion of the entire American investment that can be shown to have a direct, quantifiable rate of return, serving to restore to prewar conditions the main marketable resource on which the Iraqi economy is based. The plurality of the supplemental funding will go towards procurement, both for equipment and for humanitarian fuel imports (next sub-section) that are necessary until the petroleum product production infrastructure is able to keep up with domestic demand. Construction makes up the second-largest component and security the third, although these expenditures are closely related. A more secure environment will reduce costs associated with construction, and at the same time, higher-than-normal construction costs which are due to the expense of operating in the environment as it exists today, are likely to be n:duced. o The US Army Corps of Engineers is the executive agency for these projects The next step in this project is to procure equipment required by the Ministry of Oil and its subordinate companies for the efficient operation, maintenance, and repair of the Iraqi Oil Infrastructure. Most equipment was rendered inoperable by looting (or was stolen) during or after the war. What little equipment that was recovered required significant repairs and has a severely limited remaining operating life. This list has been extensively coordinated with the Ministiy of Oil, and detailed equipment specifications are completed and awaiting funding. First quarter funds will also be used to award two follow-on construction contracts to allow contractors to mobilize and begin other initial preparations. It is important to note that the funds in this supplemental are being used not to start new programs, but to continue the ongoing mission to Restore the Iraqi Oil infrastructure. Ongoing projects are being closely managed to ensure efficient use of funds. This process causes fluctuations in the scope of future projects, as progress brings new needs to light, and causes other requirements to drop in priority. As such, we require flexibility in making final adjustments to the projects undertaken with these funds. Oil is the most abundant natural resource in Iraq, and thus the mainstay of the Iraqi economy. Speedy recovery of the oil infrastructure will provide the means for a speedy recover of all other Iraqi infrastructure and will allow the Iraqi economy to sustain itself without outside assistance. Success will be measured by increased exports of crude by at least 20%, and decreased petroleum product imports by at least 10%. With weekly income from crude exports topping $200 million, and weekly outlay for imports averaging $40 million, income will increase by $40 million, and outlays will decrease by $4 million, for a net of $44 million weekly. Bottom · e: this investment will pa for itself· roximately six months, reinforcing the statement that exp s sector are a measurable investmen 1 future oflraq. Project Code 51000 Emergeacy Supplies of refiDed petroleum (Robert McKee) War damage, looting, poor maintenance, and sabotage have cause interruptions to the flow of crude to the refineries. Difficulties due to outdated technology and poor maintenance at the refineries themselves, and interruptions to the flow of refined product to the cities, have created the need to import more petroleum products than originally projected. The main products required are Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), used for cooking; kerosene, used for heating in the winter months; benzene, for auto fuel; and diesel, to fuel larger equipment and power generation. Failure to provide any of these will directly affect the quality of life of the average Iraqi citizen. 2003 2004 2005 803 325 0 Funds will be used to cover the difference between Iraqi demand and refinery production, and to establish and maintain a 30-day reserve in all major products to ensure no interruptions in basic services due to future terrorist activity. $400 million will be needed in the first quarter to compensate for the large difference between demand and production. and to build the 30-day reserve. $290 million will be required for the remainder of the fiscal year to compensate for continued production shortfalls while maintaining the reserve. o Defense Energy Support Center is assuming responsibility for this mission from the current executor, the US Army Cmps of Engineers. The aim of this project is to cover the difference between Iraqi demand and refinery production, and to establish and maintain a 30-day reserve in all major products to ensure no interruptions in basic services due to future terrorist activity. Success will be measured by the achievement and maintenance of a 30-day reserve of refined petroleum products.

Foley, Director, Private Sector Development SUBJECT: Update for Meeting with Minister of Oil In preparation for your upcoming Meeting with the Minister of Oil, we offer the following update and suggested discussion points: Background: Tom Foley and (b )(6) met with Minister Al-Uloum on Thursday, January 15,2004 to discuss fuel price adjustments. Minister Al-Uloum said he had a task force that was preparing a comprehensive recommendation on energy subsidy reform that would be completed within three weeks (Thursday, February 5). Tom and mmtlasked if they could contribute to the task force's effort, but the Minister declined saying that CPA inout would be more appropriate after receiving the task force's recommendation. Tom andODlDsaid they would provide to him, for the task force's use, a set of energy subsidy reform recommendations that were put together by an outside source. These recommendations were the product of the \.. ~ CPA energy subsidy reform task force, but have been recast so as not to appear as a CPA . I . . \..,_,IV recommendation. This document was given tQ Rob McKee to give to the Minister at your . I]'"'~,--:·,/\ upcoming meeting. ~6. As an aside at the close of the meeting two weeks ago, Tom andrmmJIIbrought up the idea of ~~ ,v an.oil tRIA. The Minister seemed supportive of the concept, but was not in favor of the Heritage '" Tru he had seen last fall because the assets were bein used for ension which he said people do not care a ou . e srud he was receptive to learning about the other ideas for a trust, particularly 1£ they provided a dividend. Tom andODlDoffered to pull something - .... c; together on this topic. This material (a memo and presentation) was prepared and sent to the ~ . ~inister for his review. _.d'l\-e~riman, Objective: We are becoming increasingly more convinced of the importance and &' - urgency of addressing fuel price liberalization as soon as possible, and certainly prior to the transfer of sovereignty to the Government of Iraq. Our primary objective from this meeting would be: • To have the Minister meet the deadline for the recommendation from his task force and to agree to a subsequent deadline for a decision and start date for implementing a plan for adjusting fuel prices. UNCLASSIFIED -2- Points ofleverage: We have some, but not much leverage over the Minister. In increasing order of aggressiveness, they are: • If he fails to act, future problems with lines at gas stations will be a political embarrassment to him. • This is the second time Iraq and the Ministry have been faced with the gasoline shortage. If no action is taken, and gas lines develop in the future, the CPA may not provide U.S. Army personnel to provide security at the gas stations or convoys to escort tankers to the appropriate distribution points. • CPA is currently withholding most of the money allocated to the Ministry for oil sector capital projects. If the Minister is anxious to have this money (not known to us), continuing to withhold it may represent leverage. • CPA may be providing the Minister's personal protection which could be withdrawn (though this may worsen the issue of his frequent absence from the country). • The Minister has not been receptive to CPA initiatives and continues to be a bottleneck in addressing areas of significant concern for the Iraqi people and the Coalition military who must deal with the ramifications of his inaction. This is due to a lack of decision- making ability and frequent absence from his post in Iraq. Unless there is a sudden shift in attitude and initiative from the Minister, there is likely to be no alleviation of the ongoing problems in the oil sector. Tennination from his position and installation of a new Minister may be the most effective way of ensuring that these issues get addressed. Suggested talking points: Energy subsidy reforms: • Mention January 15 meeting with Tom andDj)Idand expectation of task force recommendations on energy subsidy reforms on February 5. • Emphasize need for fuel price adjustments to avoid future problems with gas lines. Mention risk of political backlash against Ministry and potential loss of Coalition lives. • Mention cost that subsidy and smuggling place on the Treasury which will be a burden to the future government. • Weave in comments, as appropriate, related to points ofleverage listed above. Iraqi Oil Trust: • Gauge response to materials on the Trust.

Jerry-As we discussed in passing a couple of days ago, I recommend you use the general theme of "transition" as the basis for our discussion with .Ibrahim on Saturday 31 January at 1100. This will allow all of the most current issues to be raised. One possible way to proceed is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. After the hellos are done, spend a litUe time reviewing what happened at the UN, current administration thinking, progress on the supplemental funding, etc. Enquire about his trip to D.JYOS. Compliment him O!l the Ministry's perform~ aR&-Ieadership through the Baghdad benzene shortages in Decemoer. Thank him l'ut ~111g responsive to your request to name a candidate for his IG position. Thank him for continuing to work with Rob's office on all of the challenges the oil sector has. Introduce "transition" planning as very important over the ooming days and weeks. Indicate ifs important enough that you expect certain things to get done guick4t ang certain standards to~ set. If not, there will be certain implications (whatever yoli'reprepared to tell him here). "Transition• is problematical in the oil sector unless the following specific things are accomplished. a. Ibrahim must state his intentjonilor the kind gf ministry be will run, and do it QUickly. (I attach a short speech I wrote for him that would accomplish this) It Is imperative that his employees, the GC, Iraqi people in general, and the world at large know Iraq's intentions soon. Offer to help him with the GC. b. He must expedite the detailed work on a ~for the ministry and oil industry- contracting, procurement, HSE, budgeting, financial controls, ethics, etc. You know that work has begun here but it must have the highest priority. c. He must restructure the Minis · an efficiently managed national oil company that o or. (If I can ride with you to the •mstry, u my the p for this restructuring, which I have also discussed with him.) Since he's totally Incommunicado now, it will be almost impossible to get him to present you with some of his own ideas for restructuring during the meeting, as you requested. In the end, his problem is that his organizational ideas are based on accommodating Personalities, not on creating a structur · I suited to carrying oUfli1s Sitategy. d. e> must be aud (auditors are being contracted now by CPA) and they must be p o e over the importing of all fuels by this summer, as well as carrying on with the Important task of selling Iraqi oil that is exported. e. The Erinys guard force must be placed within the mini must be prepared to mana e their this s wa throu · · try 5a, 5b and 5c must be accomplished within the next month or so. I (Amb Bremer) am prepared to relcu~l A:IMQ¥ to )'QU (Mjojstpr of Qjl) from tbe OFI !,CCQUnt if ypu do these things. Otherwise, I cannot (this is the response to his recent letter to you requesting that his capital budget be released immediately). Be advised that he is extremely "exercised" about this issue. He almost refuses to believe his budget has always been zero, and that somehow we have made it zero to punish them. Of course, since it is zero. I have been trying to tell him that you would make available some money to him if he made considerable progress on the whole restructuring/petroleum regime issue. It's important, in my mind at least, that you emphasize this message and that we stay the course. Corruption is a major concern of yours. Entities at all levels of Iraqi society, including within the Oil 112812004 ---------------------·- --· ···-- Page2of2 Ministry, have to basically decide that lawlessness will not be tolerated and will in fact be punished. You know that corruption exists in the ministry and you are concerned that not enough is being done to root it out. You would like him to use his new IG to begin to get at this problem. 8. You would like to begin the process of price llberal~jon and the foiT(!ation of an oil trust. What does he think of these and how should we proceed? ~ 9. One concern that I (Rob) would like you to voice, if you agree, is that you have heard concerns expressed that the career technocrats at the Mjnlstqr are slnwl)r btd surely being p1•shed a&ide. You don't want all of the expertise and experience, particularly those that saw the industry through it's bad days and through the beginning of the reconstruction effort, to be sacrificed. 10. To summarize, you want him to actively get involved in "transition• planning and accomplishing some of the important tasks outlined above, with a great sense of urge ther every day to help get the oil industry back to its pre-war levels and th Rob does not act unilate (It is important to say something like this, because he's beginning o ge 1!1 e can simply go directly to you on some issues. You should actually remind him to work with you through the oil office on all matters.). 11. Bottom-line, we have much to do in the coming months and a lot of progress needs to be made soon. You and the ministry have done well, but much more remains. This is one of the two or three most important institutions in the country and you need to lead the way. I would be glad to discuss any of this with you prior to the meeting. Thanks. Rob + 1/28/2004 Minister: The following is a draft proposal of a message that we believe you could and should make to your employees at the Ministry of Oil, your fellow Ministers, the Governing Council, the haqi public and to the world-at-large. It allows the Ministry of Oil (the most important of all of them) to take the first, public stance towards a model of what ltaq will become under the current and future lesdership. Just as important, it establishes you firmly as a progn:ssive and aggn:ssive leader who is determined to move haq's oil industry forward. It provides a framework in which all of your various stakeholders can begin to pattern their own behavior, planning and actions. Our prediction is that it will be well-received by all the various audiences. We have arrived at yet another historic day. Since the liberation, we in the Oil Ministry have worked closely with the Coalition to restore our great haqi oil industry. At this point, we are producing well over two million barrels ofoil per day and exporting over 1.5 million barrels a day, all for the benefit ofl!:aq. We have worked in cooperation with our neighbors, our contractors and the Coalition to provide adequate fuel products to all of you for your driving, cooking, heating and lighting needs. We are continuing to make improvements to our oil industry to ensure that the future will be bright for it and all haqis. Our people are to be commended for their great progress in the oil sector as our country is reborn. It is now important for me to tell you some important things that will define lhe Oil Ministry and haq's oil industry for the coming years. Our country has one of the world's largest petroleum reserves and it bas almost unlimited potential to benefit us. Every day, the Oil Ministry will be guided by this knowledge and our purpose will be to ensure these. principles are fulfilled. 1) Our country's oil and gas will be owned by the people ofhaq on a national basis, protected under Iraqi constitutional law. Our mission in the Ministry will be to manage, protect and preserve these resources in a way that benefits haq now and in the future and in a way that creates a secure, stable and independent economy. ... 2) Our goal will be to accomplish the objective1i,8_!1~i~ to Uli.~Y.. ()II! nevv - gove111JDeilt relative to oil production, use of our abundant natural gas resources, and the supply of domestic fuel products for our population. n - - - 3) We will accomplish these goals through the leadership of a strong and visionary Ministry of Oil. We will re-create a modern national oil company to carry out petroleum operations. We will ensure that this national oil company is run for the benefit of the Iraqi people and is divorced from the political process to the extent required. Thus, our Ministry will have a distinct separation of duties within it- from actual petroleum operations to policy planning to compliance monitoring. - -~ _____ ___. -~ Delet~;.cc_d_,r aoa,__~< ___ __] 4) Our Ministry will implement a Code of Condw:t that allows Iraqi oil to operate competitively in the worldwide petroleum industry. This Code will be based on nondiscrimination; ethics; lawfulnesS; international best practices for contracting and accounting lransparency; and good corporale govetllllllce. It will be in every way compatible with our country's various faiths. We will endeavor that our people and contractors are not hurt or killed on our properties and that we have a regard for our environment 5) We will implement strong standards to ensure that managers or employees do not have conflicts-of-interest that would work contrary to the Ministry's stated goals. We also wiU ensure there are strong behavioral stand.arck for aU Ministry employees and managers. 6) We have a large job to do, which will take a large amount of investment to accomplish properly. We thus will welcome outside investors to our country, in a way that satisfies our Code of Conduct, protects our rights to our petroleum resoun;es, and enhances our own internal needs. This is very possible and has been accomplished sw:cessfully in various other countries around the world (including some of our closest neighbors). We have the opportunity to become one of the most important participants in the world's petroleum industry; and to do it in a way that provides significant added benefits to the Iraqi people. We in the Ministry of Oil are laying this foundation and I will keep you informed IIi pro~s is made. Dr. Ibrahim M.

The Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) is currently positioned to provide the necessary expertise and support to the Restore Iraqi Oil {RIO) Directorate mission for the importation and distribution of identified petroleum products (benzene, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas [LPG], and kerosene) in support of the Iraqi civilian populace. 2. DESC is currently working on a seamless transition with the US Army Corps of Engineers to award new contracts through competitive procedures for petroleum products that will include the movement of products to specific wholesale distribution depots within Iraq as well as the mechanisms to perform the necessary management and oversight controls for the mission. DESC is reimbursed for all costs incurred for work performed in support of the RIO mission by the CPA or suitably recognized governing entity via our Defense Working Capital Fund. DESC contracts will begin 1 April 2004 and are scheduled to end 30 June 2004. 3. Chief among all other concerns is that the newly elected Iraqi Government will be required to take over the complete responsibility for importing and distributing all petroleum products within Iraq beginning 1 July 2004 unless an international agreement is negotiated and concluded between the two governments. This international agreement would include the process by which DESC and a post-CPA recognized entity will ensure continuous fuel supply and reimbursement of funds. 4· As background, DESC has received obligation authority for fuel importation costs through 30 June 2004, and since DESC operates from a Working Capital Fund, products sold in execution of a program must have a corresponding credit paid into the fund for reimbursement. Further, in order to conduct these procurements beyond 30 June 2004, DESC must have a designated customer to charge for the fuel sales. s. Under the Defense Working Capital Fund, DESC cannot provide fuel under its contracts to customers without an agreement from the customer to pay for the fuel with appropriate procedures to transfer funds to DESC. It is important to note that DESC does not have the statutory authority to provide fuel without reimbursement. Any deviation from the reimbursement requirements of the Defense Working Capital Fund could limit DESC's ability to procure fuel for its military customers and might result in an Anti-Deficiency Act violation, which is a punishable felony in American statutory law. 6. In order for DESC to continue its contracts to import and distribute petroleum products into Iraq, DESC must receive adequate written assurances, from the responsible entity after the CPA dissolves 30 June 2004, that any future fuel importation requirement is valid (by each petroleum product) and that funding will be made available to reimburse DESC for its procurement purchases. Short of this commitment, funding and performance by DESC under the supply contracts will end 30 June 2004.

The State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) has sole authority for the export of petroleum from Iraq. SOMO cum:ntly facilitates the export of crude oil under normal commercial terms and fuel oil under barter arrangements. Oment fuel oil barter contracts are wonh about $350 million and SOMO bas contracted to receive about 900 million liters of gasoline, diesel and kerosene. Barter sales of petroleum products are 11IR: in international markets. They are an inefficient means for trading most products. They typically involve higher costs, Jess flexibility, and a smaller range of potential buyers/sellers compared with nonnal col1llnCI"Cial sales. They may also result in lower financial benefits to Iraq. SOMO is experienCing difficulties with its barter contlaetors and would prefer to be able to operate under normal commercial terms. The UNSCR requires all sales contracts to be 'made consistent with prevailing international market best practices". The proposed arrangements are fully consistent with this requirement. I recommend you allow the IMO to access funds from the DFJ up to a limit of the revenues generated by SOMO from the export ofpetroletun products, with the necessary reporting and monitoring arrangements to be negotiated between the JMO, Ministry of Finance and CPA.

JJ o 'los o,.,) M.ft~ ~ H- JYl ;;-a.~·;-i Me _g 1t~J /ULc;7 Meeting one, morning of the lOth. Alev Kilic, Turkish Deputy Under Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, discussed this in the opening meeting with the CPA and Iraqi Trade delegations. During this meeting I emphasized that nether CPA, nor could the current Iraqi Governing Council enter into Production Sharing Agreements and that only a legitimate Iraqi Government could. Any Agreements signed prior to the war with the past Iraqi Government would have to be addressed when a legitimate Government was in place. CPA encouraged all companies having a claim to stay in touch with the current Iraqi Ministry of Oil. Meeting two, afternoon of the lOth. Met with members of the Turkish National Oil Company, U.S. Embassy Turkey, and members of the Turkish Government Foreign Affairs Department. I was questioned on the validity of the Production Sharing Agreements. I answered as noted above. I had the distinct feeling that the National Oil Company was party to the existing agreements in one form or another and possibly looking at fields for its self. Some of the various groups within the National Oil Company do both surface and subsurface work as well as transport oil products. Mr. Hakki Akil, Deputy Director General for Energy, Water, and Environment- Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said he would like me' to meet with the companies who had Production Sharing Agreements with the Kurdish Government the following day. I accepted. Meeting three, morning of the 11th. Met with Mr. Murat Yazici ofYazici Law Offices, Mr. Ha.kki Akil, and a member of his staff. Mr. Y azici was representing Genel EnerjiA.S .. Genel Enerji A.S. had entered into a Production sharing Agreement with the Kurdistan Regional Government, January 19, 2004 for the Tac Tac field. Mr. Yazici stated that he had worked with Mr. Peter Galbraith (believe he is a lawyer in Wash. D.C.) and Johnathon Morrow (believe he is out of the United Kingdom, may be in Afghanistan at this time). A hard copy of this Agreement was supplied at the end of our meeting. Mr. Yazici repeatedly brought up Mr. Talabani's name. Mr Yazici said that Mr. Talabani was going to address the Production Sharing Agreement with the Governing Council in the next several weeks. Mr Yazici said the U.S. Government was aware ofthis Agreement, indicating the U.S. was briefed by the Turkish Prime Minister during his recent visit. Mr. Akil confirmed this. Mr. Yazici said that the U. S. Government had agreed in the past with the Kurdish Government that they had certain rights which included the development of minerals. (I believe this is the Agreement dated Sept. 17, 1998 cited in the Production Sharing Agreement. I have requested a copy ofthis Agreement from Mr. Yazici by email March 13th). Mr. Yazici said the Kurdish Regional Government did not require the authority of the CPA or Central Government to enter into such Agreements. FOIA 09-826 CPA 000374 -------- --------------------------------------------- - - I told him that other companies such as Parker Drilling and BHP have come forward claiming to have agreements with the Kurdish Government, He said that he had heard of such claims, but Genel Bnerji A.S. was the only one with the rights to Tac Tac. He offered no more in this area. Mr. Y azici told me that Mr. Adel Qazaz, Director General Northern Oil Company was aware of the contract between Genel Enerji A.S. and the Kurdish Regional Government. No other names were offered. From what Mr. Y azici indicated, he was planning along with members of Genet Enetji A.S. to be traveling to Baghdad in the forth coming weeks to discuss their claims with the Governing Council along with Mr. Talabani. I requested that he and the others postpone their trip until CPA has had a chance to review their claims. Meetiog four, morning of the 11th. Following the before mentioned meeting, Mr. Guntekin Koksal, Principal of Pet Holding and Dr. M. Ali Ak, General Manager of Petoil joined myself, Mr. Hakki Akil, and his staff assistant. Petoil has entered into a · similar (terms) Production Sharing Agreement with the Regional Kurdish Government. This agreement covered a much larger area than the previous Agreement. It covers the Pulkhana (Kifri), Anfal (Kormor), Chemchemal, and Chia Surkh fields. The later of the fields straddles the Iranian border. A copy of the Agreement was brought to the hotel I was staying in, later that day. Petoil made similar claims as Genel Enerji A.S. that the U.S. Government recognized the Kurdish Government as having the power to enter into Production Sharing Agreements. They told me that Mr. Colin Powell was made aware of their Production Sharing Agreement in August 2003 during a visit with the Turkish Government. Mr. Hakki Akil acknowledged this point. They also mentioned the recent visit to the U.S. by the Turkish Prime Minister. I learned at this time that Mr. Murat Y azici also represented their company in negotiations with the Regional Kurdish Government. When asked if anyone in the Iraqi Ministry of Oil was aware of this Agreement, they replied that Mr. Adel Qazaz, knew unofficially. Mr. Talabani's name was continually mentioned throughout the meeting. They said that several weeks ago that Prime Natural Resources, a U.S. based company entered into a 50% share basis with them after talking to Mr. Robert McKee; past Sr. Advisor for CPA Oil. Petoil interpreted this as a positive sign that the subject Agreement was valid in the eyes of the U.S .. I asked them if they knew of any other companies that were entering into Agreements. Outside BHP and Genel Enerji A.S. they were not aware of any serious companies. I asked if they had heard of any Israeli companies being involved. They said that Prime Natural Resources had asked the same question. They indicated that they had heard that Genel Enerji A.S was possibly connected with an Israeli company. Rob McKee had taken several phone calls from an Israeli company interested in developing fields in the Northern area of Iraq. Petoil told me they bad a good number of individuals already in Iraq and was planning to start physical work in the near future. Geological and Reservoir engineering work had already started.
