¶4.  (SBU)  As of 0500 EST January 28, 29 American

STATE 00008629  002.2 OF 002 
 
¶7.  (SBU)  Fifteen WFP food distribution sites planned 
for Port-au-Prince and its suburbs will be established 
based on population and other factors, instead of 
operating in spontaneous settlements.  Each distribution 
site will be assigned to an NGO, which will manage and 
coordinate food distribution.  U.S. or MINUSTAH troops 
will provide security for each site.  (TF1/Interagency 
Conference Call) 
 
 
HUMANITARIAN/SECURITY/INFRASTRUCTURE 
------------------------------------ 
¶8.  (SBU)  Reduced demand for slots at the Port-au- 
Prince airport has created additional landing 
opportunities.  Preliminary aerial assessments confirm 
reports of erosion along Jimani road, one of the two 
main thoroughfares between Haiti and the Dominican 
Republic.  JTF will conduct a more detailed inspection. 
Miami River shipping companies, which regularly service 
Haitian ports, have made themselves available to deliver 
assistance to smaller ports outside Port-au-Prince. 
Three electrical substations in Port-au-Prince have been 
tested and are available for service, and testing for 
other substations is ongoing.  Access Haiti, the 
country's largest Internet Service Provider, is 
operating at 90 percent capacity, with 12 of its 60 
towers down.  The company plans to have four or five 
additional towers operational in the near future.  Many 
neighborhoods are forming "committees" of local 
residents for security and distributing assistance. 
Haitian-American troops from civil affairs teams are 
going to some the city's poorest neighborhoods to help 
assess needs.  The teams are also identifying local 
leaders who can help ensure fair distribution of 
assistance. (TF1/Interagency Conference Call, DHS SitRep 
#30, DHS Guardian Special Report #40) 
 
 
POLITICAL DEVELOPMENTS 
------------------------------------ 
¶9.  (SBU)  The Haitian Parliament continued to re- 
establish operations but with no clear direction. 
Parliamentarians and other commentators have expressed 
concern about the ability of the GOH to manage the 
recovery effort and several parliamentarians have 
approached embassy officials about tourist visas to 
leave the island.  To date, neither President Preval nor 
Prime Minister Bellerive have addressed the nation. 
President Preval announced that Haiti will indefinitely 
postpone February 28 parliamentary elections and that he 
would not seek to stay in office after his term expires 
in February 2011. (Port-au-Prince SitRep Day 14,
