Jaymie and Ray -
In the below e-mail chain, Scott Carpenter and I have settled on the following as a way ahead for
the Democracy and Governance Team:
-- Scott has identified five people for the first tranche to join the group and travel. He wants a bit
more time to organize and strategize, however, and is willing ro delay their departure a bit to do
so.
- Furthermore, due to logistical constraints - limited beds, desks, computers, phones, and
vehicles-- Jay Garner is unable to receive the team immediately. He does want them ready to
deploy on short notice, however, so I would propose sending them for training at Ft. Benning a
week from Sunday (30 March). When training concludes four days later (3 April), they can deploy
straight from Benning if Garner is ready to take them or return to Washington for further
organizing and strategizing if he's not.
-- In the meantime, we will begin the process of getting the USG employees detailed to us and
the others hired on contract.
I am going to aslJ(b)(er<o)(7}(C):J who works in my office, to take on the management of this
initiative. He will make sure this all gets worked quickly.
I'll talk with Ray about this further this afternoon.

Thanks so much for both emails. I am fully on board with delaying a bit. It appears as if we· need
to do a bit more conceptual and bureaucratic gap-filling in any case. Once Ruth Whiteside is
whenever we're given the greenlight to deploy, I'd lit:
content that we can move forward, I'll get you the team details that you've asked for. Essential!

spoken with (b)(6) about this. Within a couple weeks of our deployment, I'd like to see om
come out so that we can overlap for a bit before I return to DC. The basic idea is to have the
group stay small in the first month or so but have some capacity to get outside Baghdad, if
needed. A lot will depend on how others specify the parameters of the team's mission but the
above group of folks would ensure that we'd be able to deal with many -- if not all -- eventualities.
Best,
Scott

Scott-
Yes, we're working official requests of getting all the USG employees detailed. Will come
through Exec Sec channels.
I just sent you an e-mail indicating that we would probably send people to trainign a week
from Sunday and then either get you on a plane to the region from there or bring you
back to DC to organize and stratgize here until Jay is logistically able to receive the
group. He wants everyone with him soonest, but not before he can provide the beds,
desks, phones, computers, vehicles, etc. that you will need to be productive. At the
moment, communications are unreliable, movement is difficult, and access to computers
is inadequate.

Tried to call a bunch of times yesterday and am in the office now. I understand
that Ruth Whiteside is asking for a specific request from Jay on the d/g group
and that you're working on that. I'll be in touch with our NEA folks here at State.
In the·meantime, has anyone on Liz's list contacted you re: contracting? I've
pointed a few people back in your direction. Obviously, until we're given the final
green light much of this will have to be done on a contingency basis, but I'd like
to line folks up ASAP.
