Viewing cable 07KINGSTON1425, JAMAICA: MEDEVAC REQUEST

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

1.(SBU)  Per reftels, PolOffs raised the question of possible 
medevac alternatives for protected migrants during a private meeting 
with the Jamaican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade 
(MFAFT)'s Director of Bilateral Relations, Mr. Courtenay Rattray, on 
September 14. 
 
2.(SBU)  Rattray said that, as long as the U.S. would pay for 
transportation, treatment, and return of the protected migrants, he 
could see no reason that the Government of Jamaica (GoJ) would 
object to their coming to Kingston.  He asked that the Embassy 
provide the MFAFT a written note or letter outlining the proposed 
understanding between the USG and GoJ.  Post requests that 
Department provide text for use in a letter, diplomatic note, or 
MOU, as appropriate.
