SUBJECT: COUNTRY CLEARANCE GRANTED FOR HENRY TUCKER 
 
REF: SECSTATE 134564 
 
1. Embassy Nicosia grants country clearance for the visit of 
Henry "Hank" Tucker, Deputy Office Director of the Office of 
Regional Security and Arms Transfers in the Bureau of 
Political-Military Affairs (PM/RSAT) to travel to Cyprus from 
October 2 - 4, 2007 as stated in reftel.  Control Officer for 
traveler is Political Chief Greg Macris reachable at tel: 
357-22393524, email: MacrisGP@state.gov. 
 
2. Reservations have been made at the Cyprus Hilton Downtown 
within per diem.  The reservation number is 383220. 
 
3. Post will provide transportation for pick-up and drop-off 
at the airport. 
 
4. Security clearance and building access: Post has received 
security clearance information included in reftel. Post will 
ensure appropriate building access on date of arrival. 
 
5. Electronic devices: The RSO must approve any electronic 
device visitors may wish to bring into any Mission facility. 
Privately owned laptops and personal computers, peripherals, 
diskettes and tapes are prohibited in all Mission facilities. 
 Cellular/mobile phones and palm pilots are prohibited in CAA 
areas.  Cellular/mobile phones with cameras are prohibited in 
all Mission facilities. 
 
6. Travelers with USG-owned unclassified laptops or notebook 
computers, peripherals, diskettes and tapes must receive 
RSO/IMO authorization prior to being granted access to U.S. 
Mission buildings. USG-owned classified computers must be 
sent to post via classified diplomatic pouch.  Classified 
equipment must bear external USG bar-code inventory numbers 
and classification markings commensurate with the highest 
level of information processed on the system. Questions 
concerning other types of electronic devices and magnetic 
media may be directed to the RSO and IMO. 
 
7. All official travelers to Cyprus are encouraged to review 
security-briefing material available in the Regional Security 
Office upon arrival at post. After January 1, 2005, The 
Department of State and the Embassy require all visitors for 
30 or more days to certify that they have completed a Bureau 
of Diplomatic Security approved personal security course. 
Failure to do so will result in denial of country clearance. 
 
8. As noted in the April 10, 2007 Department of State 
worldwide caution public announcement, American citizens 
traveling anywhere, including Cyprus, are reminded to 
maintain a high level of vigilance. Visitors should keep a 
low profile, be alert to any signs of surveillance, vary 
routes and times for required travel, and treat all mail from 
unfamiliar sources with suspicion. Suspicious incidents or 
activity must be reported to the RSO immediately. 
 
9. Cyprus is considered a high-threat post with a low crime 
rate. It has good hygienic conditions, and a good array of 
goods and services. Americans traveling to Cyprus on a TDY 
basis are not required to obtain entry visas. The host 
government has designated Larnaca and Paphos airports as 
authorized points of entry into the Republic of Cyprus; USG 
travelers considering arrival via other ports must consult 
the Embassy before making their arrangements. Visitors should 
be aware that international telephone rates from Cyprus, 
especially from hotels, are extremely expensive.  English is 
widely spoken and understood.
