Subject: RE: Cyprus donation for Katrina

I don't believe we have but defer to EUR. We need a paper trail on this. When ~ i s s i o n shave sent in checks with
dip notes we have either: a) responded by Dip Note or b) sent cable to post so that Amb or DCM can thank. Both
require L and RM chop as per instructions on accepting donations.

Subject: Cyprus donation for Katrina

The Cypriot Embassy here contacted me to let me know that they are now ready to make the $50,000
contribution they had previously pledged. They are prepared to make a wire transfer, though would prefer to do a
check The donation is for the USG, not the Red Cross. Do I need any additional clearance from L before I give
them the transfer information?

Thanks very much,

Ref: A) STATE 172092 B) STATE 164963 C) State 167513

1. (SBU) his is an action request -- see paras 2 and 3

2. (SBU) This cable contains the official USG response to assistance

offers from the Government of Cyprus for Hurricane Katrina. Embas6y
Nicosia should deliver the points in para 3 at the highest appropriate
level at its earliest opportunity.

3. (SBU) Talking points for use with host government:

- - As Secretary Rice's message to Foreign Minister Iacovou (in State

-
- I
167513) indicated, the U.S. Government is grateful for the generous
offer of assistance from the Government of Cyprus in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina.

- - we appreciate and accept the.offer of $50,000. We are in contact

with the Embassy of Cyprus in Washington regarding the specifics of
. accepting this generous contribution. This financial contribution from
Cyprus will make a tremendous difference in the lives of victims of
Hurricane Katrina.

- - The USG has received an outpouring of support from many nations and
international organizations, as well as individuals. On behalf of the
United States Government and all Americans, I want to express heartfelt
appreciation, once again, for the Government of Cyprus's generous offer
of assistance and expressions of concern, as well as those of the
people of Cyprus, in this trying time.

End points.
