    SUBJECT: KUWAIT GRANTS COUNTRY CLEARANCE FOR CODEL BUYER(14-21AUG)

    Ref: State 121220

    ¶1. Embassy Kuwait welcomes and hereby grants country clearance for
    CODEL Buyer to travel to post o/a 15 to 17
    August, 2006.

    ¶2. This clearance is not/not valid for entry into Iraq; you must
    apply for Iraq clearance through Embassy Baghdad.

    ¶3. Hotel reservations have been made for 15 and 16 Aug, at the

    SIPDIS

    ¶4. Following is post's standard guidance for visitors to Kuwait:
    Kuwait now issues single-entry visas to American citizens on
    arrival, upon presentation of a passport.  Post strongly advises
    travelers to carry some documentation on the purpose of their visit.
     Passengers arriving on other than commercial flights should
    anticipate extra delays, because immigration services are not
    available on the military side of the airfield and passports have to
    be carried to a different site at the airport for processing.
    Airport visas are valid for 90 days after arrival; anyone staying
    beyond this period must obtain an extension, which should be
    requested 2 weeks prior to expiration.  Anyone departing Kuwait who
    has overstayed the visa will be charged a fine of KD 10 (US$33.50)
    per day at the airport.  All travelers planning to visit Iraq should
    make sure that they obtain exit/entry stamps for each transit
    through Kuwait, and be aware that they will need to obtain a new
    Kuwaiti visa upon return, even after a daytrip to Baghdad.  Failure
    to do so can result in heavy fines.  If possible, travelers should
    try to obtain a multiple-entry visa before arriving in Kuwait.

    ¶5. Visitors are reminded that the importation of alcohol, pork
    products, personal firearms, and any suggestive/pornographic
    materials (videotapes, magazines or books) is strictly prohibited by
    Kuwaiti law.  Kuwait is still clearing mines and munitions. Visitors
    must remain on major paved roads when traveling in Kuwait. Travel
    North of Jahra toward the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border is not authorized
    without approval from the embassy and an appropriate escort.

    ¶6. Threat Assessment: Kuwait is a high-threat post and the military
    threatcon is currently Charlie.  We have increased security
    precautions at official U.S. installations in Kuwait and recommend
    that all Americans in Kuwait remain alert to their surroundings and
    review their personal security practices.

    ¶7.  Fiscal Data: Thank you for providing fiscal data. Each agency,
    organization, delegation or visiting individual will be charged for
    all costs attributed to their visit. These costs include, but not
    limited to: LES and American staff overtime, vehicle and equipment
    rental, office and medical supplies, telephone calls, expeditor
    services, airport transportation other mileage driven, and
    representational events. If fiscal data on visitor's travel
    authorization is to be used for this purpose, it must be clearly
    spelled out and sufficient funding must be provided.

    ¶8. Health Unit: All TDY or PCS personnel that would like to be
    vaccinated against smallpox should get the vaccine in M/MED in
    Washington before coming to post. The smallpox vaccine for
    pre-exposure vaccination is not available at post. There are
    prepositioned doses of smallpox vaccine at post to be used only if
    an actual exposure occurs.  The smallpox vaccine is being offered to
    personnel that are coming to work at Embassy Kuwait as a strictly
    voluntary protection in case of a possible biological attack.

    ¶9.  Health Advisory for Kuwait:  April through October is the hot
    season in Kuwait. Temperatures reach 120?-140?F in summer. Caution
    should be taken to prevent dehydration and heat exhaustion by 1)
    drinking plenty of fluids and 2) staying indoors, especially during
    peak temperature hours of 12:00-15:00. Low humidity coupled with
    high temperatures creates excessive moisture loss from evaporation.
    It is necessary to drink 2-4 quarts of water daily to prevent
    dehydration.

    ¶10. Health Advisory for Iraq:  Remember to bring adequate
    medications and to be current on vaccines as getting medical
    supplies in Iraq has been difficult. Consistent with US military
    policy since January 2005, and having no cases of malaria reported
    to date in US Embassy personnel, malaria prophylaxis is not
    routinely recommended for Iraq. Vivax malaria historically exists in
    the northern provinces of Duhok, Erbil, Ninawa, Sulaimaniya, Tmim
    (May-October), and in the south around Basrah (April-November).
    There is no risk in Baghdad. Individuals that travel to those areas
    need to continue to check current embassy recommendations. Malaria
    must be a consideration in anyone with a fever who has traveled to
    those areas.  To protect against insect bites, use insect
    repellants, long clothing and other measures to prevent insect
    bites.

    ¶11. CAA Access: Visitors who need unescorted access into secure
    areas of the mission must slug cables to the attention of the RSO,
    and include the level of their clearance.  The cable should include
    the social security number of the requestor and the name of the
    agency granting the clearance.  Cables should include the ASEC tag
    to ensure distribution to the RSO office and the Marine Security
    guard at post one.

    ¶12. Computer and Electronics usage: Inter-agency security standards
    prohibit the introduction or use of non-USG owned computer hardware
    and software at all USG diplomatic facilities. Cell phones, palm
    pilots, radios and other convenience electronics are prohibited in
    all secure areas of the mission.

    ¶13.  Sensitive military information has been located recently on
    business center computers at local hotels in Kuwait City.  All US
    Government personnel and contractors must remember that it is their
    responsibility to observe good computer and information security
    practices.  Information processed on computers and hotel business
    centers, through e-mail correspondence or document creation, is
    highly exploitable. Public computers located in hotel business
    centers, internet cafes, airport lounges, etc. should never be used
    to process, store or disseminate sensitive information.  Compromise
    of sensitive government or military information can result in
    serious damage to national security.  Compromises of sensitive
    personal data can result in significant personal and financial
    hardship.  Random checks are conducted by Embassy personnel on
    public PC's.  Breaches in COMPUSEC will result in the violator
    receiving security infractions and/or security violations.

    ¶14. Embassy Kuwait's normal workweek is Saturday through Wednesday.
    Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. switchboard numbers are
    (965) 259-1001, IVG: 495-0000. The after hours number which rings at
    Marine Guard post one is (965) 538-2098.

    ¶15. The time difference with the East Coast of the United States is
    EDT plus 7 hours.
