SUBJECT: BILATERAL ENGAGEMENT RESULTS IN IMPROVED PUBLIC REACTION TO 
US-BRAZIL REALTIONS. 
 
 
1.  (U) Summary.  A number of high level visits by USG officials to 
Brazil, culminating in two Presidential visits have given us an 
unprecedented opportunity to get our views into the media.  As a 
result, a more positive tone has started to emerge in the media and 
public opinion, with residual skepticism being outweighed by an 
upbeat depiction of USG-GOB relations. End summary. 
 
2. (U) Stories on the US-Brazilian relationship have dominated the 
international news in Brazil over the last month, especially around 
President Bush's visit to Sao Paulo in early March and President 
Lula's visit to Camp David.  Together with other high level visits, 
including Attorney General Gonzalez and Undersecretary Burns have 
led to a higher and significantly improved profile for the bilateral 
relationship, as well as an unprecedented opportunity to get our 
views before the media.  Agreements on biofuels, education, tax 
information exchange, S&T cooperation, and the establishment of a 
CEO Forum contributed to a more positive view of US-Brazil 
relations. 
 
3. (U) The U.S. acknowledgement of Brazil as a "regional leader and 
global partner," as well as the invitation to Camp David, widely 
reported as the first Bush has extended to a Latin American leader 
in many years, played very well in the news media. 
 
4. (U) While there continue to be skeptics, the message that the 
bilateral relationship is moving forward on a positive agenda is 
finding greater resonance.  This is primarily due to successful 
media outreach using senior US officials, a biofuels agreement that 
many Brazilians see as positive, and official Brazilian government 
statements, including Lula's, that incorporated and amplified our 
themes. 
 
5. (U) Mission Brasilia carried out a media campaign involving over 
forty interviews, op-eds, press conferences, speeches and editorial 
boards meetings by/for USG officials.  Ambassador Sobel and senior 
USG visitors gave interviews to major print and electronic media, 
including all of the top circulation newspapers and the largest 
television and radio networks.  Ambassador also conducted a phone-in 
press conference with the six major regional newspapers.  The 
central theme was to highlight the developing US-Brazil partnership 
and our mutual commitment to "make a good relationship even better" 
by moving forward on a positive agenda involving trade, biofuels and 
a broad range of other topics - commercial, educational, legal, 
environmental, etc.  A/S Shannon and NSC's Fisk reinforced this 
message in Washington-based interviews. 
 
6. (U) President Lula's own statements reinforced and echoing our 
message, particularly after his visit to Camp David.  He stressed 
the transformational importance of the biofuels agreement and a 
"strategic relationship" that would allow the US and Brazil to 
develop new models for economic development, trade policy, and for 
dealing with global issues such as the environment.  This is the 
first time he has used the term "strategic" regarding the US-Brazil 
relationship. 
 
7.  (U) The more positive spirit in US Brazilian relations is 
typified by O Estado de S. Paulo economic columnist Alberto Tamer, 
who wrote that despite differences over Petrobras investments in 
Iran, the Camp David meeting confirmed the "new climate" in Brazil's 
relations with the U.S. "This is important and represents a major 
step forward," Tamer added. 
 
8.  (U) A month of very intensive engagement has ensured that such 
positive views are now more widely disseminated in the Brazilian 
media and has set the stage for further positive stories.  Concerted 
use of the Ambassador and other USG officials to spread our message 
resulted in widespread press coverage that was on the mark, with GOB 
officials even repeating our own positive statements about 
strengthening the strategic partnership. 
 
9.  (SBU) Comment: The positive press play and favorable official 
rhetoric show how far we have come in changing official and public 
perceptions of the relationship.  In the past we would have expected 
a more skeptical reaction (such as the one that followed previous 
visits) and a repetition of the usual anti-American rhetoric. 
Mainstream negative views were mainly limited to warnings against 
over optimism, rather than condemnations, about the new 
relationship.  Even the dissenters seem to accept the main features 
of the new relationship, and their warnings were mainly about the 
affects that production of ethanol could have on the environment and 
food supplies.  A few senators and the Catholic bishops' conference 
voiced concerns about problems associated with sugar cane 
cultivation and a possible new role for Brazil as an energy supplier

to the U.S.  World trade negotiations, international cooperation in 
Haiti and elsewhere, and other topics by and large were not 
questioned, if not ignored.  Mainstream commentators did not 
complain of US heavy-handedness or an asymmetrical relationship. 
Professor Ricardo Sennes, of the Pontifical Catholic University of 
Sao Paulo, told Veja magazine that "both sides are signaling a 
diplomatic course correction."   Much of the media focus was on the 
realization that Brazil is finally and genuinely important to the 
U.S., how Brazil could best benefit from the U.S.' newfound interest 
in Brazil's ethanol, and Brazil's important role in the Doha 
negotiations, among other areas.  The new view of the bilateral 
relationship is an excellent basis for future work. End comment.
