International Visitors Program to Washington, D.C., August 
3-5.  Vietnam Program Assistant escorted Vietnamese officials 
on a visit to U.S. Coast Guard headquarters and training 
facilities, August 3-7.  Advisor observed nuclear and 
radiological training for law enforcement officials conducted 
by Thailand's Office of Atoms for Peace, August 19.  Advisor 
met with Megaports team and discussed future EXBS assistance 
with post and Cambodian officials in Phnom Penh, August 
24-25.  EXBS continues to assist DEA in transferring chemical 
analysis equipment to Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security. 
Advisor conducted consultations in Washington, D.C., Aug. 
31-Sept. 1.  Activities scheduled for September include an

SITE ASSESSMENTS AND MEETINGS 
 
2. (U) Advisor and Program Assistant observed nuclear and 
radiological training for law enforcement officials conducted 
by Thailand's Office of Atoms for Peace (OAP) on August 19 
(the full agenda ran the entire week).  The training was very 
comprehensive, including policy and intelligence background, 
safety and technical issues, and hands-on practical 
exercises.  Twelve agencies participated.  OAP conducts the 
course two times a year.  OAP is well-qualified to provide 
technical assistance in support of Thailand's proposed 
national Commodity Identification Training Program. 
 
3. (U) Advisor met with the U.S. Megaports team and discussed 
future EXBS assistance with post and Cambodian officials in 
Phnom Penh, August 24-25.  This was the initial visit to 
Cambodia by Megaports, and the Cambodian government is 
considering the offer to participate in the program. 
Cambodia is in the process of strengthening its maritime and 
port security programs.  Megaports equipment and training 
would provide a valuable contribution to that effort, and 
complement planned EXBS port and interdiction training. 
Advisor also reviewed planning considerations with post 
officials for the upcoming UNSCR 1540 Implementation 
Workshop, and discussed use of EXBS funding for proposed port 
security training.  It was decided that the Naval Criminal 
Investigative Service (NCIS) would conduct training in 
November, and EXBS-funded training through the U.S. Coast 
Guard would be delayed until late FY10 and/or FY11. 
 
TRAINING CONDUCTED 
 
4. (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. 
 
5. (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, 
October 12-23..

IMMINENT TRAINING/EQUIPMENT UPDATE 
 
7. (U) Commonwealth Trading Partners (CTP) will conduct an 
Anti-Corruption and Integrity Awareness Workshop in Bangkok, 
September 14-15.  The workshop is being hosted by King 
Prajadhipok's Institute, the Thai government's senior civil 
service training school.  The National Anti-Corruption 
Commission will provide a presentation, with additional 
contributions by the Regional Advisor of the American Bar 
Association and post's Resident Legal Advisor from the 
Department of Justice.  Advisor and Vietnamese Program 
Assistant will conduct a visit to Lao Cai border crossing in 
northwestern Vietnam, September 22-23. 
 
8. (U) Advisor and ISN/ECC continue 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.  DEA will provide 
installation and basic operator training; Advisor is working 
with DOE and ECC to coordinate follow-on WMD technical 
training in-country.  Distribution of radiation pagers to 
Vietnamese agencies will be made during upcoming USCG 
Boarding Officer Courses in October, so that user training 
can be conducted concurrently.  Other pending actions include 
transfer of radiation pagers to Thai Customs and the final 
phase of Vietnam's Tracker Demonstration Project.
