    SUBJECT:  Costa Rica Optimistic About New U.S. Administration

    REF: SAN JOSE 0098
    ¶1.   (U) SUMMARY:  On January 20, the Legislative Assembly of Costa
    Rica voted unanimously to pass a resolution congratulating the U.S.
    Congress and the American people on the inauguration of President
    Barack Obama.  The resolution and the comments in support thereof
    lauded the election as a reaffirmation of democratic values and as a
    fulfillment of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "dream."  Of note,
    Legislator Alberto Salom (PAC), one of the Assembly's most
    vociferous critics of the policies of the United States, spoke in
    favor of the resolution (although he also used that platform to
    criticize the use of the military in U.S. foreign policy).    We
    report this resolution and debate for the record, as another
    indication of the high hopes in Costa Rica and the region for the
    new U.S. Administration.  END SUMMARY.
    ¶2.   (U) On January 20, 2009, the Legislative Assembly of Costa
    Rica, meeting in plenary session, considered a resolution
    congratulating the U.S. Congress and the American people on the
    inauguration of President Barack Obama.  In introducing the
    resolution, Assembly President, Francisco Pacheco (PLN), noted
    "Today is an historic day for the United States of America and for
    the world," in which the American people have given an "example to
    the world" that "all human beings are equal."  Pacheco referred to
    the election of President Obama as a fulfillment of the "dream"
    described by Martin Luther King Jr.
    ¶3.  (U) The resolution (see full text below), proposed by Legislator
    Yalile Esna (PLN, President Arias' party), expressed hope that "the
    Creator (would) give (President Obama) wisdom to direct the destiny
    of the (United States) on the path of prosperity ... and global
    leadership to contribute to brotherhood and peace."   In her
    comments, Esna (the only Afro-Caribbean member of the National
    Assembly) emphasized that the inauguration of the nation's first
    African-American president was a "vindication," for the United
    States and the world, of the principle that people should be
    measured by their "human qualities," not by their race, gender,
    religion or creed.
    ¶4.  (U) In a rare act of bipartisanship, the resolution was also
    supported by Alberto Salom (PAC), a consistent and outspoken
    opponent of U.S. policies, including CAFTA, and one of the
    Assembly's wiliest tacticians.  Salom noted that, with the election
    of the first African-American U.S. president, "we are at a unique
    juncture" characterized by extraordinary challenges and
    opportunities.  He expressed hope that President Obama's presidency
    would generate new opportunities for international dialogue, and
    specifically that it would lead to a "revision" of what he termed "a
    tradition of military intervention" and encourage a "real and
    durable world peace."
    ¶5.  (U) The resolution was passed unanimously.   On January 30, the
    acting Chairman of the National Assembly's International Relations
    Committee, Fernando Sanchez (PLN), wrote the Ambassador to ensure
    the USG received an official copy of the resolution.
    ¶6.  (U) TEXT OF RESOLUTION (INFORMAL TRANSLATION):
    (Resolved that) the Costa Rican parliament should send its courteous
    and excited (congratulations) to the United States Congress, on the
    inauguration of President Barack Obama, and express its hope that
    the Creator would give him wisdom (and that he would) direct the
    destiny of that country down the path of prosperity, and
    development, exercising global leadership to contribute to
    brotherhood and peace.  In the same way, (the parliament) also
    congratulates the American people for this historic election, which
    makes that nation even greater.
     ¶7. (SBU) COMMENT:  Although our GOCR interlocutors have tempered
    their very high expectations since Inauguration Day, increasingly
    cognizant that the financial crisis is inevitably monopolizing the
    administration's attention, and that relations with Mexico, Brazil
    and Colombia are top of the USG's WHA agenda, they hope for more
    positive, "respectful" overall USG engagement around the world, and
    deeper engagement in (including more resources for) Central America.
      Visiting WHA/CEN Deputy Director heard echoes of this optimism on
    February 11 (Reftel), as did the Ambassador and DCM in meetings with
    FM Bruno Stagno on February 19 and in a private dinner with
    President Arias himself on March 4.   During the latter event, Arias
    stressed the importance of paying attention to the region at this
    time, highlighting in particular Costa Rica's role as a "model"
    which shared USG values on environmental protection, social justice,
    market economies and democratic development in Latin America.  We
    will continue to explore creative ways to tap this optimism in order
    to advance important USG objectives in Costa Rica and Central
    America.
