Agency (ANAC) on August 7, 2009 and delivered a diplomatic note to

request that the GOB agree to hold a formal final discussion with

safety oversight deficiencies and any corrective measures the GoB 
has taken since the IASA assessment in May 2009. In addition, post

addressed to ANAC President Dr. Solange Paiva Vieira, who was 
traveling outside Brazil, to ANAC's Acting Chief of Staff Jose

ANAC's Director of Safety Claudio Passos and to ANAC's 
Superintendent of Safety Carlos Pellegrino.  Post has not yet 
received a response from the GOB confirming these proposed dates.
