SUBJECT: COUNTRY CLEARANCE APPROVAL FOR LESLIE SOMMER MCCORMICK 
REF:  FAA 091642z FEB 06 
 
1. (U) The Embassy grants country clearance for the visit to Peru 
of Leslie Sommer McCormick, Senior International Program Officer 
of FAA Hedquarters, from February 26 through March 1, 2006.  The 
purpose of this trip is to attend the 8th meeting of the 
coordination committee for the ICAO/UNDP RLA/98/003 regional 
project on transition of the CNS/ATM systems in the CAR/SAM 
region. Traveler will be staying at Doubletree El Pardo Hotel in 
Lima. 
 
Per reftel, no Embassy assistance is required. 
 
When departing Lima by air, the Republic of Peru imposes an 
airport departure tax on any outbound passenger of 30.25 USD for 
international flights and 6.05 USD for domestic flights. 
 
2. (U) POINT OF CONTACT, TELEPHONE NUMBERS, ADDRESS AND COMPUTER 
USE: 
 
The point of contact will be Samantha Carl-Yoder, Economic 
Officer, office telephone number (51)(1)618-2411, cellular 
telephone  9-632-0869, home telephone (51) (1) 422-5102.  Embassy 
after-hours direct line for Marine Security Guard is (51)(1)618- 
2936.  The Embassy address is Av. La Encalada, Cuadra 17, in the 
Monterrico Sur Section of Lima.  Control officer should be 
notified as soon as possible upon arrival in country if you are 
not met at the airport. 
 
State Department TDY visitors requiring OpenNet-Plus Systems 
access during their stay should directly contact George K. 
Philpott, ISO, in advance of their arrival so a computer account 
can be created if needed. 
 
Any employee who intends to bring U.S. Government portable 
microcomputers (laptops) for use in CAA or non-CAA areas must 
notify post's ISSO and RSO in advance of travel.  12 FAH-6 h-314 
prohibits the installation or use of any privately owned computer 
in a government building where classified information is 
processed or stored.  Accordingly, post policy prohibits Personal 
Electronic Devices (PED), Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) e.g. 
"Palm Pilots", MP-3 players, etc. within the Chancery facility. 
Such devices are never authorized in CAA spaces and are not 
authorized connectivity within OpenNet unclassified or classified 
networks, or stand-alone classified PCs.  Personnel who wish to 
bring PDAs authorized under the Department of State's Secure 
Wireless Extended Enterprise Technology (SWEET) program into the 
Chancery must notify Post's ISSO and RSO in advance of travel. 
Find information concerning the SWEET program at 
http://sweet.irm.state.gov.  Please refer to 03 STATE 286036 for 
detailed guidance regarding Post's Information Systems security 
requirements. 
 
3. (U) PASSPORT/VISAS: 
 
To ensure full protection for travelers, the mission requires 
that all visitors eligible for official/diplomatic passports use 
them with appropriate visa.  Travelers should not use tourist 
passports.  In exceptional cases where official travelers must 
use tourist passports/visas, specific authorization must be 
obtained in advance.  Foreign citizens bearing tourist passports 
who come to Peru to work, either officially or in technical or 
cultural cooperation, must enter the country with an official 
work visa. 
 
DOD personnel on personal travel must use a tourist passport.  If 
official visitors arrive via military ship, a passport is not 
required unless the individual is required to exit Peru via 
commercial or military air.  If an official visitor is a Peruvian 
National serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, a valid Peruvian 
(maroon) passport is absolutely necessary in all cases in order 
for the individual to enter or exit Peru.  Proof of residency in 
the U.S. (green card) is required for return to the U.S.  All 
visas for onward travel should be obtained prior to arrival in 
Peru. 
 
4.  (SBU) SECURITY: 
 
Post reminds all TDY personnel requesting country clearance for 
temporary duty of 30 days or more of the requirement to complete 
mandatory personal security training effective January 1, 2005. 
Personnel requesting country clearance for periods of 30 days or 
more must certify that they have or will complete the required 
training prior to their travel, or may request a waiver as per 
the above policy.  For extended TDY requests, individual bureaus 
(not the Bureau of Human Resources) are responsible for ensuring 
that their staff, in all employment categories (Civil Service, 
Foreign Service, WAE, PSC, etc.), meets the training requirement. 
See 04 State 66580 for more information about the mandatory 
personal security training requirement. 
 
Country clearance is granted for travel to non-Embassy restricted 
 
areas only.  Visitors who plan to travel to Embassy restricted 
areas must request Post approval upon arrival.  A list of these 
areas can be obtained from the RSO.  It is imperative that the 
Mission be notified immediately of delays or changes in plans or 
itinerary.  Personnel must not change hotels without first 
notifying control officer.  The State Department has designated 
Peru as high threat for indigenous terrorism, medium threat for 
transnational terrorism and political violence, and critical 
threat for crime.  Two terrorist groups operate in Peru:  Sendero 
Luminoso (SL) and Movimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru (MRTA). 
Both organizations continue to be potential threats and have 
targeted U.S. facilities in the past.  Due to GOP efforts, the 
activities of the SL and MRTA have been greatly reduced and are 
now largely confined to rural areas.  Overland travel outside of 
Lima and other large cities during the hours of darkness is 
prohibited due to unsafe road conditions and the threat of armed 
criminals.  Terrorist groups operate with relative impunity in 
some interior areas and are known to target vehicular traffic. 
Crime is a serious problem in metropolitan Lima and popular 
tourist areas such as Arequipa, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu.  Most 
crimes involve petty theft, pickpocketing, bag slashing, grab-and- 
run, and theft from occupied and unoccupied vehicles.  More 
violent crimes include armed robbery, carjacking, and choke-and- 
rob.  Criminals frequently react violently when resistance is 
encountered.  In almost all instances it is advisable not to 
offer resistance.  Most areas of downtown Lima are dangerous and 
should be avoided during the hours of darkness.  Visitors are 
cautioned to remain alert to their surroundings at all times, 
particularly when in crowded areas, such as on public 
transportation, at outdoor markets, and at tourist sites. 
Countermeasures against crime also protect against terrorism. 
Special care should be exercised at the Jorge Chavez 
International Airport in Callao.  Criminals frequent this area, 
especially at night, and are known to target foreigners both 
inside and outside the terminal. 
 
Security briefings are mandatory for all official visitors to 
Peru.  Briefings are given in the RSO Conference Room at the 
Embassy, on Wednesdays, promptly at 9:00 a.m. 
 
5.  (U) ICASS TDY Policy and Action Request: 
 
Each visitor, regardless of length of stay, must bring/forward 
fiscal data to pay for direct costs of the visit.  Each agency, 
organization, or visiting delegation will be charged for the 
actual costs attributed to their visit.  Direct charge costs 
include, but are not limited to: American and LES staff overtime 
(e.g., expediter, accommodation exchange, representational event 
support), field travel-lodging and M&IE by Embassy employees, 
vehicle rentals, long distance telephone calls, equipment 
rentals, office supplies and all other costs that are directly 
attributable to the visit.  Also, for TDYers over thirty (30) 
days, there is a charge for ICASS support services.  If your 
sponsoring agency is not signed up for ICASS services at post, 
please be prepared to sign a MOU for ICASS support services upon 
arrival.  The agency should provide post with a written 
communication, generated by the traveler's headquarters that 
confirms the agency will pay ICASS charges for the TDYers, 
provides the agency ICASS billing code the TDY support charges 
should be applied to, and authorizes the traveler to sign the 
ICASS invoice generated by the TDY module.  Where travel is 
urgent, the TDYers should bring this documentation with them to 
ensure there are no interruptions in the provision of service. 
Post will not provide any service to a TDYer staying in excess of 
thirty days without provision of this documentation before day 31 
of the TDY. 
 
6.  (U)  HEALTH CONCERNS: 
 
Travelers to the jungle areas of Peru should have up-to-date 
yellow fever vaccine and malaria prophylaxis for chloroquine- 
resistant strains of malaria.  Primary prevention against malaria 
and dengue fever includes avoiding the mosquito vectors of these 
diseases: using insect repellant, appropriate protective 
clothing, and bed netting. Hepatitis A and B vaccinations are 
strongly recommended for all persons before coming to Peru. 
Rabies is present in country, and those individuals whose work 
and/or leisure activities might expose them to wild animals, bats 
or stray dogs, should consider receiving the rabies vaccine. 
Travelers diarrhea/dysentery is quite common in Peru. Visitors 
should substitute bottled beverages for potentially contaminated 
water.  Fish, shellfish, and vegetables should not be eaten 
unless well cooked, and all food should be eaten while still hot. 
Fruits with a peel are generally safe, provided they are peeled 
before being eaten. Typhoid vaccine is also recommended. Cholera 
is endemic in Peru and disease rates reach high levels from 
January to May--the same food and bottled water precautions 
apply.  Travelers planning to travel to high altitude areas of 
Peru, such as Cuzco, Machu Picchu, and Puno, should consult with 
their health care provider first, and be fully aware of the 
 
health dangers of high altitudes and measures to minimize these 
dangers. 
 
7.  (SBU) MEDICAL CLEARANCES: 
 
All employees who are at post in TDY status for more than 60 days 
are required to have a medical clearance from the Office of 
Medical Services.  Contractors who are not direct-hire USG 
employees do not have access to the Embassy Health Unit.
