Classified By: Economic Counselor William Heidt, reasons 1.5 (b) and (d

 1. (C) Summary: Former People's Consultative Assembly 
Chairman Amien Rais and retired General Wiranto continue to 
wave the flag of economic nationalism in hopes of 
strengthening their likely presidential bids in 2009 and 
stirring up trouble for President Yudhoyono in the meantime. 
In their latest salvo, a public letter to President Susilo 
Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) released last week, Rais and Wiranto 
joined several other prominent political figures in a public 
broadside against SBY by attacking him for the Government of 
Indonesia,s (GOI) recent deal with ExxonMobil (EM) to 
develop the Cepu oil and gas field.  The two also criticized 
Freeport,s continued operations in Papua.  The open letter 
offered a mixture of incorrect facts, misrepresentations of 
the truth, muddled thinking, irrational economics, and tried 
and true economic nationalist grievances.  Relatively quiet 
for now, economic nationalism remains a potent political 
force in Indonesian politics.  The involvement of Wiranto 
will raise concerns at the Palace.  End Summary. 
 
2. (C) Former People,s Consultative Assembly Chairman Amien 
Rais joined with two other political heavyweights in signing 
an open letter to SBY attacking him for his handling of the 
Cepu oil and gas deal (Ref A) and the continued operations of 
mining giant Freeport-McMoRan in Papua.  The other two 
political big wheels were former Vice President Try Sutrisno 
and retired General Wiranto.  (Two other prominent 
signatories from the House of Representatives, Marwah Daud 
Ibrahim and Alvin Lie, are allies of Wiranto and Amien, 
respectively.)  Try Sutrisno and Wiranto have participated 
since mid-2005 in a grouping of senior statesmen (and one 
stateswoman -- former President Megawati) that meets 
regularly to issue statements critical of the Yudhoyono 
administration (Ref B).  Amien originally had shunned that 
group, seeking to preserve a positive relationship with SBY, 
but he has been one of the leading critics of Freeport's 
operations in recent months (Ref C).  Amien's statements 
infuriated President Yudhoyono, according to a Palace source. 
 
3. (C) The triumvirate called on the GOI to kick out 
ExxonMobil (EM) and to allow Pertamina to develop the Cepu 
field.  Despite statements from the Energy Minister to the 
contrary, the authors contend that Pertamina is capable of 
developing the Cepu project on its own.  Without providing 
details, they further state that the Cepu revenue could be 
used to restructure other ailing state-owned enterprises and 
provide social welfare spending.  They go on to argue that an 
85:15 split of the Cepu revenue in Indonesia,s favor is 
unjust to the Indonesian people given the excessive 
reimbursement of costs allowed by the GOI to the oilfield 
operators, an area where they say the GOI should get tough 
with the foreigners. 
 
4. (C) The authors conclude with a few jabs at 
Freeport-McMoRan,s mine in Papua.  They say Tembagapura, the 
city built by Freeport &resembles a beautiful American city 
imbedded in Papua, while the Banti people only 10 kilometers 
away live in the Stone Age.8 They also make reference to the 
consequences of the huge mine,s operations, which they claim 
has caused &consequential environmental damage. A mountain 
has vanished; tailings and waste disposal also resulted in 
vast land destruction.8 
 
5. (U) State Secretary Yusril Mahendra, speaking on President 
Yudhoyono's behalf, has told journalists that the President 
would soon reply to the Amien-Wiranto-Try letter.  Amien had 
hoped to meet with Yudhoyono, but this meeting was postponed 
by the Palace, causing a public spat.  As this dispute 
simmered, Amien declared May 20 as a day for public criticism 
of the government.  One of Amien's closer associates in the 
cabinet -- Transportation Minister Hatta Rajasa, who formerly 
served as Secretary General of Amien's National Mandate Party 
-- has also spoken out publicly on these issues, although 
with a milder tone.  In his capacity as a leading figure of 
the Indonesian Association of Muslim Intellectuals 
(ICMI)--legislator Marwah Daud Ibrahim, one of the letter's 
signatories, currently chairs the organization's 
presidium--Hatta has said publicly that Freeport's community 
development efforts can be improved. 
 
 
JAKARTA 00005217  002 OF 005 
 
 
6. (S) Comment: The primary signatories have neither deep 
expertise nor a history of concern about energy policy or the 
activities of the extractive industries.  Both Amien and 
Wiranto ran for the presidency in 2004, and we assume they 
hope to try again in 2009.  They appear simply to be trying 
to exploit economic nationalism, maintain a high public 
profile, and place pressure on the Yudhoyono administration. 
To the extent that Wiranto continues to be involved in this 
criticism, it will not be taken lightly by President 
Yudhoyono, who believed a Wiranto-led opposition planned to 
take advantage of painful fuel price hikes in 2005 to 
destabilize the government. 
 
7.  (C) Amien has a track record of endorsing Indonesia-first 
economic policies, which appear discouraging of foreign 
investment.  Economic nationalism remains a latent yet hardy 
perennial in Indonesia.  Anti-foreign investor fervor seems 
to be quiet for now after the March 16 deaths of four GOI 
security officers in Abepura during anti-Freeport 
demonstrations.  (Some public speculation at the time 
attempted to link Amien's vocal criticisms of Freeport to the 
bloody protests.)  Public expectations for immediate riches 
are running high in East Java, however, due to EM,s planned 
USD 2.1 billion investment as part of the Cepu deal.  The 
ability of these politicians to make mischief and reignite a 
new cycle of anti-foreigner sentiment will increase if EM and 
the GOI do not manage expectations properly and deliver on 
what they promise.  End comment. 
 
7. (U) Begin Unofficial Embassy Translation: 
 
Open Letter to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Part I 
 
Our honorable President, 
 
We fully realize the difficulty of our country,s condition 
in dealing with numerous unresolved problems. We also 
appreciate, that the government has worked hard to resolve 
those problems. Many of the problems were conquered, however 
many still remain and require accurate policies to prevail. 
 
Therefore, as a form of our concern to our nation,s fate and 
our beloved nation, with all due respect, we intend to convey 
the following input. 
 
Our honorable President, 
 
Currently our national problems are far more complex compared 
to forty years ago. On the other side, natural resources 
which can be utilized as funding sources are becoming more 
limited. We used to have abundant forest resources, today 
almost all of these resources have diminished. Our oil wells 
are aging and national production is declining, while 
domestic demand increases drastically. 
 
Forty years from now, the problems of our next generation 
will become more complex. Potential competition and internal 
conflict will increase, along with the increase in 
population. Our next generation will face problems with 
national integrity, democracy, economic defense and social 
welfare which are far worse than what we are dealing with 
right now. 
 
Therefore, we need to utilize natural resources prudently, 
wisely and optimize all available economic potential 
independently and with dignity, so our next generation can 
have a better future. 
 
In the context of independence, dignity and our country,s 
future, and in accordance with the National Constitution 1945 
chapter 33 verses 3, we need to fully utilize earth, water, 
and natural resources contained within it for the people,s 
welfare, whether it is today or in the future. 
 
Part II 
Our honorable President, 
 
Cepu block is one of Indonesia,s natural resources which we 
will need to manage in order to build independence, dignity 
and the future of our country. With abundant oil and gas 
resources, Cepu block is a gift from God Almighty to 
Indonesia to help overcome fiscal difficulty in providing 
domestic crude supply, as well as reducing risk of fuel price 
hike and other price increases which are very onerous to the 
people. 
 
We believe the government has its own reason to encourage the 
 
JAKARTA 00005217  003 OF 005 
 
 
signing of Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) between Pertamina 
and ExxonMobil (EM) on March 15, 2006, in which EM is the 
operator of Cepu Block. Albeit, Mr. President if you could 
consider the other point of view in relation to the Cepu 
Block. 
 
First, the Cepu Block has a proven oil reserve of at least of 
600 million barrels, plus recoverable gas reserve of at least 
2 trillion standard cubic feet (TSCF). With oil price 
assumption of USD 55/barrel and gas price of USD 3/mmbtu, 
Pertamina will obtain additional assets of at least USD 40 
billion if Cepu block is handed over to the company. 
 
The additional asset will enable Pertamina to perform 
financial innovation and obtain fresh banking fund as well as 
non-banking funding of USD 6 ) 8 billion or even up to USD 
14 billion if market condition and financial structure 
permits. 
 
The additional fund will grow if the Government consolidates 
oil and gas accounts at the Department of Finance and 
drastically change oil and gas revenue regime. As a result, 
oil and gas revenue can flow directly to the company,s 
account instead of being routed first to the Department of 
Finance. 
 
These funds can be utilized as capital funding to operate 
Cepu Block and for business expansion. The surpluses and 
dividend can be reinvested as SOE restructuring bond, which 
will result in a substantial SOE restructuring fund. 
 
Therefore, we can restructure SOEs with chronic financial 
crisis such as Garuda, Merpati and Dirgantara Indonseia. We 
will also have fund to develop synergy in the basic metals 
industry, machinery and its upstream industry. For example, 
amongst Krakatau Steel, Texmaco (already government 
controlled), Boma Pisma PAL, INKA, DI etc. 
 
With Cepu Block operatorship handed over to ExxonMobil, the 
above potential cannot be fully utilized. 
 
Secondly, from technology capability and human resources 
aspects, Indonesia is actually capable to operate the Cepu 
Block, as conveyed by the Indonesian Geologist Association 
(IGA) and Indonesian Geophysics Experts Association (IGEA). 
 
Geologically, the play of Cepu Block is the same as any other 
oil and gas fields surrounding the block,  such as Mudi, 
Sukowati and Kedung Tuban, with objective depth/reservoir of 
Kujung Hydrocarbon Formation (relatively the  same carbonate, 
i.e. between 4,000 to 10,000 feet. In the Sukowati and Mudi 
field, where both are jointly operated by 
Pertamina-Petrochina East Java and produces 16 ) 20 bodp, 
all key positions are held by Indonesian experts/Pertamina. 
 
Part III 
 
Thirdly, with ExxonMobil as operator, the country cannot 
optimize its revenue stream. &Briefly speaking, production 
split of 85:15 seems to benefit the country, with a total 
split of 93.25% for Indonesia8 
 
However the real split for Indonesia, i.e. the Government, 
Pertamina, and Regional Governments, depends on the amount 
basic split revenue. This basic revenue will drop 
dramatically if the operator,s claim on cost recovery is too 
large.  Moreover, until today there is no limit on the type 
of deductible expenses and no maximum limitation on cost 
recovery claim.  Even expenses from overseas headquarters can 
be cost recoverable. 
 
For example, for the 3 drilled wells, according from IGA and 
IGEA experts, the maximum cost is USD 60 ) 70 million. This 
cost includes exploration activities of 3 wells, G&G survey, 
seismic surveys, and land acquisition. According to Pertamina 
the cost is around USD 100 million. However, expenses claimed 
per September 2003 are over USD 340 million. 
 
Therefore, there is a potential excess cost of USD 240-280 
million, as opposed to if the block is operated by Pertamina. 
This number will grow if the actual claim is in fact USD 459 
million, which is quoted in various media reports. 
 
The excess cost above was derived from exploration activities 
only. From exploitation activities, the potential of excess 
cost is USD 5/barrel if compared to Pertamina as operator.

If oil and gas tax is set at 44% (tax is borne by the 
goverment), and claim on approved exploration expenditure is 
USD 340 million, and with the assumption of production from 
the three wells of above  36.7 million barrels, therefore the 
real government revenue is only 54% not 93.25%. However, if 
the approved exploration expenditure is USD 450 million, 
therefore real government revenue is only 48%. 
 
With the above assumptions, within 10 years of Cepu Block 
operation, the government looses at least Rp 51 trillion of 
revenue, not including economic losses as a result of foreign 
contractors who tend to favor their own country,s suppliers, 
consultants, experts and service providers. 
 
The numbers above of course can vary, depending on 
assumptions and plan of development. 
 
Fourthly, we convey the majority view within the community 
where there are systematic efforts to make ExxonMobil Cepu 
Block operator, even if it was against existing laws and 
regulations. 
 
Formation of Cepu Block Negotiaion Team on March 29, 2005 for 
example, which took over SOE Board of Directors, authority 
as set in Law 19/2003 on State Owned Eneterprise, chapter 5 
verse 1 and 1. In state and military term, the Negotiation 
Team had performed a coup of power from Pertamina,s Board of 
Directors. 
 
Soon after, as ExxonMobil is still unqualified take 
operatorship under the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) 
scheme as quoted in Government Regulation (GR) No. 35/2004 on 
Upstream Oil and Gas Activity, the GR was amended through GR 
No. 34/2005 on September 10, 2005. The new GR gives exception 
to certain PSC regulation as quoted in verse 103A. With this 
exception, legal barrier to ExxonMobil was lifted. 
 
The culmination of these systematic efforts was the 
replacement of Pertamina,s President Director prior to US 
Secretary of State visit, as Pertamina,s President Director 
 
SIPDIS 
is the one who has been against ExxonMobil operatorship. 
Together with the US Secretary of State visit, the Joint 
Operation Agreement which gives Cepu Block operatorship to 
ExxonMobil was finally signed. 
 
Part IV 
 
Our honorable President, 
 
The experiences with Freeport further convince us that we 
need to prioritize mining management for our own country. The 
Government of Indonesia never realized how many tons of gold, 
silver and copper concentrates ) perhaps also uranium ) 
which are extracted by Freeport McMoran. 
 
Loss of potential tax revenue is quite considerable here. 
Moreover, certain royalty percentage received by Indonesia is 
a percentage of unknown value. Whatever Freeport says, we 
must believe and accept. 
 
Freeport benefits to Papuans are also questionable. 
Tembagapura resembles a beautiful American city imbedded in 
Papua, while the Banti people only 10 kilometers away live in 
the Stone Age. Not counting consequential environmental 
damage. A mountain has vanished; tailings and waste disposal 
also resulted in vast land destruction. 
 
Our honorable President, 
 
Bearing in mind the above conditions, please allow us to 
recommend that during your leadership, the oil and gas and 
mining policies should give priority to national companies to 
operate mining areas. 
 
Cepu Block can be a first step for Indonesia to be a 
proprietor in its own country by allowing Pertamina as 
operator. Renegotiation of mining contract with Freeport is 
also a pressing agenda in order to increase government 
revenue, maximize benefit to Papuans, and minimize 
environmental damages. 
 
Going forward, we suggest performing basic amendment to Law 
No. 22/2001 on Oil and Gas, and emphasize on building a large 
national oil and gas company which is capable to compete in 
the global market, just like the case with Petronas. 
 
Create more reconsolidated oil and gas account at the 
 
JAKARTA 00005217  005 OF 005 
 
 
Department of Finance, more accountable and transparent. Oil 
and gas revenue does not necessarily go to the Department of 
Finance first. We also suggest amending the taxation regime 
to eliminate grey areas such as deductible expenses in cost 
recovery, which has been a playfield for activities that 
results in the loss government revenue. 
 
Therefore we convey the result of our discussion. For the 
honorable President,s attention, we express our gratitude.
