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.

As I briefly mentioned during the Senior Advisor meeting this morning, we are beginning a new project involving U.S. focal media. The objective is to interview you, your Minister and members of your team. We will then package it with supporting footage and send it to the Pentagon. There they will pitch it to your hometown/home- state TV stations. We did the first one today- Ministry of Health- and it went very well! The tum around time to send it to the U.S. is within 24 -48 hours. This is a great way to get the incredible work you and your Iraqi colleagues are doing back to the states. But, I need your help. We are looking at completing all of the Ministries within the next 10 days- 2 weeks. I will discuss scheduling at the next 7:30 a.m. Senior Advisor meeting. Rich Galen and I look forward to working with all of you on this project. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

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. There will be a second initial training session for the IG still to be appointed, probably later this month.

(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.

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), 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. 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.

"~ ~"'~ FOIA 09-826 CPA 000192 Disposition (including expenditure authorized); Description o.f Program or Goods To Be Purchased - Please §ee Above Instructions 1. 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.
