¶1. In response to ref A, Department has reviewed its 
files and finds that it possesses no credible information 
of gross violations of human rights as of this time by the 
member of the Iraqi Security Forces listed in paragraph 2 
below. 
If at any time, the Embassy becomes aware of any 
information regarding incidents which could be credibly 
deemed to 
be a gross violation of human rights by the individual, the 
Embassy should so inform the Department.
