¶1. (C)  Summary:  Total headcount of U.S. citizens received 
in Cyprus as of 0800L July 25 was 10,881.  7,690 had departed 
by 0800L on July 25, and civilian charter flights continue. 
At 0800L, there were 280 people at the Fairgrounds and 230 at 
hotels.  Hotels should be completely vacated by 1200L.  End 
summary. 
 
POL/MIL 
 
¶2. (C)  Foreign Minister Lillikas told Ambassador that the 
Government of Cyprus has issued a statement that it will not 
be held accountable for decisions made by the EU on behalf of 
Cyprus at the Lebanon Core Group in Rome; this is related to 
ROC maneuvering to be included in the Rome meeting, and time 
will tell if Lillikas's anger will have practical 
consequences for the departure effort.  Cypriot Immigration 
Services are becoming stricter about proper visa 
documentation for arriving Lebanese nationals. 
 
CONSULAR 
 
¶3. (C)  The following are consular updates:

--The Rahmah is now expected to arrive at 1300L July 25 with 
154 U.S. citizens, and the Vittoria M at 1830L with 
approximately 331.  Post expects to move all of these 
passengers directly to the Paphos airport. 
 
--A total of 7,690 U.S. citizens had departed Cyprus on U.S. 
charter and military flights as of 0800L July 24.  Four more 
commercial charter flights are scheduled to depart on July 
¶25. 
 
--We estimate there were approximately 280 evacuees 
(undocumented humanitarian cases and their relatives) at the 
 
Fairgrounds by 0800L.  Approximately 230 remain in hotels, 
but all are expected to leave July 25. 
 
--DHS TDY staff are arriving today to assist CONS in speeding 
the screening of undocumented humanitarian cases. 
 
--MGT has thoroughly cleaned part of the Fairgrounds facility 
and plans to do a walk-through with the Cypriot government at 
1830L.  Post is taking care to ensure Fairgrounds are ready 
to hand over when necessary, while maintaining adequate 
resources on hand in cases of a new influx of American 
arrivals. 
 
--The local Cypriot company "Kanosis Ltd." has offered a free 
"registration service" through Google to families at the 
Fairgrounds.  Fifty families have registered 
themselves--complete with photos--on the internet, in an 
effort to aid overseas relatives to locate them instantly 
through a Google search. 
 
MANAGEMENT 
 
¶4.  (U) Post is focusing on TDY staff schedules for mop-up 
operations and attempting to allow various sections to return 
to normal operations. We are also reassessing staffing and 
24-hour coverage needs.  Public Affairs is closing its 
Larnaca press center at night, and will forward all nighttime 
calls to the Nicosia Control Room.
