REPORTING CABLE - JULY 2009 
 
BANGKOK 00001956  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
SUMMARY 
 
1. (U) Wisconsin Project staff conducted proliferator 
database training in Bangkok, July 14-16.  Advisor conducted 
EXBS program coordination meetings in Jakarta, July 16-17. 
U.S. Coast Guard conducted Port Security training at Bangkok 
and Laem Chabang ports, July 20-31.  Advisor escorted  a 
delegation of Vietnamese officials to Interdict/RADACAD 
training, July 27-31, and a delegation of Thai officials on 
an International Visitors Program, August 3-5.  Vietnam 
Program Assistant escorted Vietnamese officials on a visit to 
U.S. Coast Guard headquarters and training facilities, August 
3-7.  Coordination of radiation pager donations in Thailand 
and Vietnam continues.  EXBS continues to assist DEA in 
transferring chemical analysis equipment to Vietnam's 
Ministry of Public Security.  Advisor will return to U.S. for 
consultations, Aug. 31-Sept. 1. 
 
SITE ASSESSMENTS AND MEETINGS 
 
2. (U) Advisor conducted EXBS program coordination meetings 
in Jakarta, July 16-17.  Advisor met with representative of 
several agencies at post, and with officials from Indonesian 
Customs and the Ministries of Trade and Foreign Affairs. 
Officials welcomed EXBS assistance, particularly 
enforcement-related support.  Due to a busy fall schedule of 
activities at post, in-country EXBS events will resume after 
the new year, which will coincide with installation of new 
Indonesian ministry officials.  Additional details provided 
separately. 
 
3. (U) Advisor met with Phnom Penh Office of Defense 
Cooperation (ODC) Chief on July 24 to discuss integration of 
EXBS resources into post's ongoing maritime security efforts. 
 EXBS will likely fund USCG port security training in the 
late fall, but specific details will be worked out between 
ODC and USCG's International Training Division. 
 
TRAINING CONDUCTED 
 
4. (U) Wisconsin Project staff conducted an outreach visit to 
Bangkok, July 14-16.  Representatives conducted proliferator 
database training sessions with licensing, enforcement and 
other officials from 12 agencies and industry associations. 
In addition, executive meetings were held with Customs, the 
Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Industry and the Office 
of Atoms for Peace.  The Office of Atoms for Peace intends to 
incorporate database resources into its own outreach program. 
 
5. (U) The U.S. Coast Guard conducted Port Security training 
at Bangkok and Laem Chabang ports, July 20-31.  Approximately 
50 officials from various agencies participated at each 
location.  This event was conducted at the request of the 
Thai Marine Department, and was focused on various aspects of 
the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) 
Code.  Presentations included speakers from the Thai National 
Intelligence Agency, Office of Atoms for Peace and Marine 
Department.  Practical discussions included preventing 
terrorist infiltration and UNSCR 1874 enforcement.  The Thai 
Marine Department is still interested in co-sponsoring a 
regional training event, pending resolution of EXBS regional 
funding. 
 
6. (U) Advisor escorted a delegation of twenty Vietnamese 
officials to Interdict/RADACAD training at the Department of 
Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in 
central Washington, July 27-31.  The delegation included 
senior and working-level officials from seven different 
ministries.  The training improved interagency awareness of 
proliferation-related issues, including topics raised during 
discussions at the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in Phuket, 
Thailand, the previous week.  Practical experience with 
radiation portal monitors should also facilitate Vietnam's 
 
BANGKOK 00001956  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
inclusion in the Megaports program. 
 
7. (U) Advisor escorted a delegation of Thai officials on an 
Export Controls International Visitors Program to Washington, 
D.C., August 3-5.  The delegation was led by the Director of 
the Bureau of Trade Measures, Ministry of Commerce, and 
included representatives from six other ministries.  Visitors 
met with counterparts in the U.S. Departments of State, 
Energy, Defense, Commerce and Homeland Security.  The program 
was designed to provide input to preparations for the Thai 
Ministry of Commerce's next Export Controls Industry Outreach 
Seminar in October. 
 
8. (U) Vietnam Program Assistant escorted five working-level 
officials from the Vietnamese Ministry of Defense staff and 
Marine Police (VMP) on a visit to U.S. Coast Guard 
headquarters and training facilities, August 3-7.  This visit 
was a follow-on to a similar DOD-sponsored visit by senior 
GVN officials in June.  The purpose of this working-level 
visit was to facilitate the establishment of new USCG-VMP 
Partnership Program.  EXBS will sponsor Boarding Officer 
Course training for VMP units in Haiphong and Phu Quoc in the 
fall. 
 
EQUIPMENT DELIVERED 
 
9. (U) Transfer of radiation pagers to the Thai Navy and 
Marine Police has been completed.  Coordination for transfer 
of additional pagers to Thai Customs continues.  Distribution 
of pagers to Vietnamese maritime agencies will be made during 
upcoming USCG Boarding Officer Course (Oct. or Nov., TBD), so 
that user training can be conducted concurrently. 
 
IMMINENT TRAINING/EQUIPMENT UPDATE 
 
10. (U) Advisor and ISN/ECC are working to facilitate the 
transfer of surplus chemical analysis equipment (gas 
chromatography - mass spectrometry) from DEA to the Vietnam 
Ministry of Public Security's Forensic Science Department. 
In addition to giving the Vietnamese police the capability to 
identify illegal drugs, the equipment can also be used to 
analyze suspected WMD chemical compounds.  Introductory 
awareness training occurred in conjunction with the RADACAD 
course in July; Advisor and PNNL will work with ECC to 
coordinate follow-on technical training in-country. 
 
11. (U) Advisor will return to U.S. for consultations, Aug. 
31-Sept. 1.
