Center. Al-Jenabi expects to go to the United States next 
January for the IVLP project "Women as Economic and 
Business Leaders."

on Public Integrity (CPI), expressed gratitude for an 
opportunity to participate in the International Visitor 
Leadership Program project "Accountability in Government 
and Business" (October 27 - November 17, 2005).  Hessin, 
who is responsible for development, approval, and 
implementation of the Iraqi government employee "Code of 
Conduct," told emboff she planned to review the Code of 
Conduct to ensure that government ministers did not put 
their political affiliation above their official duties.

department to publicize the Code of Conduct among the Iraqi 
public.

4.  On November 15, the Cultural Affairs Office distributed 
40 copies of the Arabic version of IIP-produced "A

5.  At the September Tikrit Provincial Council meeting, 
Tikrit SET provided "The About America Series" book set to 
all 42 members of the Council.  Many looked at the books, 
although some were left behind by members who may be 
reluctant to be identified with the Coalition Forces.  The 
rest of the books may have been taken later, when doing so 
drew less attention. 
 
6.  In October, Tikrit SET gave "The About America Series" 
book set to the 16 members of the Dialogue and 
Communicating Committee hosted by the U.S. Commanding 
General.  The members from Salad Ad Din, Diyala, 
Sulaimaniya, and Kirkuk are from various sectors-- 
education, business, media, health and law.  One Kirkuk 
newspaper owner requested six more copies.  The SET also 
distributed them to various Salah Ad Din sheiks and 
government employees and found that they were well 
received.

community-service group comprised of Americans and Iraqis. 
The Optimists distributed the books throughout primary and 
secondary schools in the International Zone to allow Iraqi 
students to learn about democracy and life in the United 
States.  The students were encouraged to complete feedback 
forms with their impressions and requests for future 
reading materials.  The students showed particular interest 
in "Portrait of America" because of their interest in 
various environments throughout the United States.

Exchanging Views with Iraqi Intellectuals 
----------------------------------------- 
 
8.  On November 8, the Public Affairs Counselor (PAC) 
hosted a dinner in honor of a visiting Senate Foreign 
Relations Committee staffer, which offered a rare 
opportunity for Embassy officers and American officials to 
meet with a group of prominent Baghdad intellectuals in a 
relaxed social setting and exchange views on major cultural 
and education issues facing Iraq.  The guests, a Ministry 
of Culture advisor, the University of Baghdad English 
Department head, a liberal newspaper editor-in-chief, and a 
leading Iraqi archaeologist, raised important issues 
dealing with Iraqi national identity and the need to 
preserve the country's cultural heritage and instill 
democratic values in the young generation.  The Public 
Affairs Section will follow up on proposals by the Iraqi 
guests for conferences and book translations with the goal

and culture.

Commander, recently returned from the IVLP project on 
"Border and Homeland Security."  After his first visit to 
America, Lt. Col. Abbas told emboff, "In America, there is

each other.  They exhibit Islamic values of honesty, 
faithfulness and devotion, even if they are not Islamic."

States under an IVLP project "Promoting Interfaith 
Dialogue." Upon his return in December, the Sheikh told

experience America first-hand: "I was never so free and so 
happy as I was during my time there."

12.  Comment: PAS Baghdad's Arabic book program and the 
IVLP remain instrumental in developing contacts in the 
diverse spectrum of Iraqi society.  Post plans to 
investigate further the possibilities for greater media 
interaction with CAO program participants in order to 
enhance the positive messages they convey to Iraqi society 
and the region as a whole. End comment.
