¶4.  Threat Assessment for the Netherlands is as follows: 
 
 
The treat to official Americans in the Netherlands is low. 
There are no specific threats or security restrictions in 
place at this time.  However, all Americans should exercise 
caution while traveling abroad, as U.S. citizens are often 
the target of groups demonstrating opposition to U.S. 
foreign policy.  For the latest worldwide terrorism 
advisories, please consult the State Department web page at 
www.state.gov.  A major concern for visitors is crime.  Most 
crimes against Americans are limited to pick-pocketing, 
burglary, vandalism to automobiles, and theft from hotel 
rooms.  Streets can be walked in relative safety, but the 
same amount of caution should be exercised after dark in the 
more populated cities of The Hague, Amsterdam, and 
Rotterdam, as would be appropriate in any urban city in the 
US City centers, red-light districts, and public 
transportation hubs are common locations for incidents of 
street crime. 
 
 
¶5.  Budget for travel and representational events will 
follow septel.
