SITE ASSESSMENTS AND MEETINGS 
 
2. (U) Advisor met with officials from Thai Customs and the 
Ministry of Commerce to discuss proposed EXBS activities for 
FY10.  Officials were very cordial and appreciative of U.S. 
assistance.  Both organizations agreed with activities as 
planned.  Advisor also briefed training proposals to members 
of post's Law Enforcement Working Group (LEWG).  Post 
concurred with training plan (see REFTEL). 
 
3. (U) Hanoi Program Assistant and POLOFF finalized 
coordination of FY10 Vietnam EXBS program proposals with 
Customs and post law enforcement agencies.  No significant 
changes were requested. 
 
4. (U) Advisor met with Australian embassy POLOFF responsible 
for nonproliferation issues on Oct. 8.  Advisor discussed 
Thai progress on export control and border and port security 
over the past two years, and provided an information paper on 
EXBS program assistance.  Australia does not currently have 
any export control or border security assistance activities 
planned in Thailand, but is more than willing to assist as 
able.  (Officials from DOE's International Nonproliferation 
Export Control Program (INECP) are currently coordinating 
with Australia for an instructor for a workshop in Hanoi in 
December.) 
 
5. (U) Advisor and DOE/INECP officials conducted follow-up 
meetings concerning establishment of a Thai national 
Commodity Identification Training (CIT) program with Customs 
officials on Oct. 22.  Thai officials agreed to move ahead 
with the program, using 2010 for planning and beginning 
implementation in 2011.  The next coordination meeting is 
tentatively planned for Feb., in conjunction with another CIT 
workshop. 
 
6. (U) Advisor attended the Proliferation Security Initiative 
(PSI) exercise Deep Sabre II in Singapore, Oct. 27-30. 
Advisor also visited the main office of the "ReCAAP" program 
(Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed 
Robbery against Ships in Asia).  Potential opportunities for 
regional EXBS support include Singapore's Changi Command and 
Control Center Information Fusion Center (CC2C IFC), ReCAAP, 
the Asian Heads of Coast Guards forum and Japanese Coast 
Guard programs,  though all will have to be tailored to meet 
political and other constraints.
