  • 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

1. (U) Summary: The GOB continued to respond effectively to 
the February 26-27 outbreak of AI found in poultry at an 
isolated farm in a Rangoon township. Measures include 
quarantine of the farm, a ban on the sale of eggs and poultry 
products in five townships, and close surveillance of humans 
and livestock in the area.  FAO and WHO representatives 
praised the GOB's quick actions, and said officials properly 
followed contingency plans, and correctly utilized training 
and equipment provided by international donors.  The GOB made 
public information announcements on local television and in 
the government newspaper on March 1 and 2, getting widespread 
coverage.  No source of the virus has been identified yet. 
We have not been able to confirm rumors of another outbreak 
in Rangoon.  End summary. 
 
2.  (U) WHO and FAO representatives in Rangoon told us that 
the GOB has responded efficiently and effectively to the 
outbreak of AI in poultry at one isolated farm in Rangoon. 
Officials continue to share information with UN agencies in 
Rangoon and coordinate closely with FAO Bangkok.  As the UN 
recommended, the government placed official announcements 
about the AI outbreak and reminded the public of disease 
precautions on television on March 1, and in government 
newspapers on March 2.  The LBVD Director General and a 
Central Epidemiology Unit epidemiologist traveled to Rangoon 
from the administrative capital of Nay Pyi Taw on March 1 to 
supervise further investigation. 
 
Foreign Assistance 
---------------------- 
3. (U) Responders to the outbreak included the Rangoon Rapid 
Response Team (RRT), which had received USAID-supported 
training from WHO.  The RRTs include both animal and human 
health workers.  Responders used Personal Protective 
Equipment kits (PPE), supplied to FAO and WHO by USAID, in 
handling this outbreak.  At the request of the LBVD Director 
General, USAID Bangkok plans to send personnel to support the 
GOB investigation during the week of March 5. 
 
4.  (U) On March 1, FAO expert Dr. Larry Allen returned to 
Rangoon from Mandalay to help with the investigation and 
analysis. Dr. Wantanee and others from FAO Bangkok also plan 
to travel to Rangoon within the next few days. WHO Rangoon 
also has an epidemiologist on standby in Bangkok.   UNICEF 
has provided government officials with additional 
informational posters and pamphlets for distribution in the 
affected areas.  Government officials have not requested any 
additional outside assistance. 
 
5. (U) According to WHO and local sources, Ministry of Health 
(MoH) officials continue to monitor the health of the family 
that lives on the affected farm.  One female child, who lives 
within a one-kilometer radius of the farm, has exhibited 
flu-like symptoms and is being monitored at a nearby clinic 
by the MoH.  MoH officials will also monitor the health of 
some family members who reportedly departed the farm before 
the poultry die-off. 
 
6. (U) Officials continue to investigate the source of the 
virus.  FAO contacts are advising the GOB to investigate 
backward (where did the farmers purchase the day-old chicks?) 
and forward (were any poultry sent from the farm to other 
sites?).  The FAO rep told us he urged officials to follow 
the investigation format found in the contingency plans for 
their continuing efforts.  Both FAO and WHO contacts praised 
the GOB response to date - culling, quarantine, disinfection, 
 
RANGOON 00000221  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
surveillance, and investigation - and said it followed the 
recommended plans faithfully. 
 
7. (SBU) LBVD officials could not confirm or deny rumors of a 
new outbreak in Rangoon, but acknowledged they were checking 
into the situation.
