Viewing cable 10QUITO94, REQUEST FOR SOURCE/ORIGIN WAIVER: PROCUREMENT OF VEHICLES

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #10QUITO94.

FOR GOE JUDICIAL POLICE AIRPORT UNIT 
 
1.  Issue: Post requests a source origin waiver from geographic 
code 000 (United States only) to geographic code 935 (special free 
world) to permit the procurement of vehicles in the Host Country 
local market for operational use by the Ecuadorian National 
Police's Judicial Police Airport unit at the International Airport 
in Quito.

2. Discussion: This vehicle is for operational use by the Judicial 
Police's Quito Airport Unit.  Judicial Police is the Government of 
Ecuador's investigative police arm of the National Police.  The 
DHS/ICE office cooperates closely with this unit. Funding for this 
vehicle comes from the Judicial Police Program.  For the security 
of its personnel and on-going operations, it is highly recommended 
for Judicial Police to use nondescript vehicles that are locally 
common rather than the more conspicuous and distinctive U.S.-made 
vehicles. 
 
 
 
3. Recommendation:  For the reasons stated above, we recommend 
approval of this request for a source/origin waiver to permit 
acquisition of this vehicle in Ecuador. 
 
 
 
4. Please expedite reply. Thank you.

Section, U.S. Embassy, Quito, Ecuador.
