SUBJECT: AMCONSULATE MONTERREY 'ELECTION NIGHT' EAC MEETING 
 
¶1.    (SBU)   AmConsulate Monterrey's Emergency Action Committee 
met again on October 29 at 1100 in the Consulate building, and 
the meeting was attended by the CG, Acting RSO, Cons, Econ/Pol, 
PA, MGT, GSO, CLO, FCS, FAS, DHS, DEA, ATF, and OIG (TDY). 
Participants agreed on the need to remain on high alert given 
recent events, and specifically examined security arrangements 
for the scheduled November 4 `Election Night' event at 
Monterrey's nearby U.S.-Mexico Binational Center.   PA briefed 
on the process of checking in invited guests (note:  this event 
will not be open to the public and all guests are `known' by 
Consulate personnel).  Guests will need to show identification 
prior to entering the premises and they will be cleared by a 
Consulate employee as being known by the Consulate.  Acting RSO 
stated that he had already completed a security walkthrough of 
the facilities.  He further noted that the State police would 
have a strong presence (3 State Police marked vehicles, 14 State 
Police Officers)  at  the event.  Surveillance detection assets 
would be active as well. 
 
 
 
¶2.  (SBU)   EAC participants further concluded that post's 
security plans for the event are appropriate as was the current 
security posture of the Consulate.   Participants agreed to be 
attentive to information from official or other sources, in 
connection with this or other activities, that might indicate an 
increased threat to U.S. citizens or U.S. interests within the 
consular district.
