    SUBJECT:  THE PUBLIC FOOD DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM BEGINS IN THE
    NORTH

    -------
    SUMMARY
    -------

    ¶1.  June distributions begin in the three northern
    governorates of Dahuk, Arbil, and As Sulaymaniyah, while at
    the same time, WFP continues to provide catch-up rations of
    wheat flour.  Differences that exist between the
    distributions in the three northern governorates and the
    central/south are being addressed.  Mosul is set to begin
    the June distributions on or about 3 June, with Kirkuk
    starting a couple days later.  As the security situation in
    Tikrit was only recently deemed permissive by the Coalition,
    the Governorate of Salah ad Din is behind in preparation,
    but food deliveries to Tikrit began last week.  UNSECOORD
    will visit Tikrit on 4 June to evaluate the security
    situation for the U.N.  Significant truck delays at the
    Turkish border have recently been addressed by changing the
    Peshmerga "parking fee" from Swiss dinars to U.S. dollars.
    Government fuel pumps in the north are now charging
    customers in old Iraqi dinars, i.e., Saddam dinars, under an
    agreement with the Coalition, marking the first time this
    currency has been used in the north since 1991.  End
    Summary.

    -----------------------------
    THREE NORTHERN GOVERNORATES
    -----------------------------

    ¶2.  As previously reported, since last fall the three
    northern Governorates of Dahuk, Arbil, and As Sulaymaniyah
    received single rations of wheat flour whereas central/south
    received double rations each month.  Further compounding the
    differences between the north and central/south, even the
    single rations of wheat flour in February and March were not
    complete in the north, meaning that people either received
    less than the full one month's ration of wheat flour or that
    some areas received no wheat flour at all.  In contrast, all
    central/south governorates have received wheat flour rations
    through July, and most in central/south have now received
    the August ration of wheat flour.  (Note:  Some governorates
    in central/south have even received wheat flour and other
    commodities through October.  End Note.)

    ¶3.  Since April, the U.N. World Food Program (WFP) has been
    working to address the northern shortfalls in wheat flour,
    and it is currently being distributed in the three northern
    governorates for May.  The distributions are approximately
    30 percent complete.  Beans and vegetable oil are being
    distributed for June/July; rice, tea, and sugar have been
    distributed through July.  There is currently no weaning
    cereal, infant formula, soap, or detergent available.
    Although this distribution is being billed as the official
    June countrywide ration, northern beneficiaries know they
    are still behind central/south, as evidenced by their ration
    cards.  The DART reports, however, that distributions are
    proceeding smoothly.

    ¶4.  To address the discontentment among the population of
    the three northern governorates caused by their knowledge
    that they have received less than the rest of the country,
    WFP is beginning to put the word out that because
    central/south experienced a higher amount of turmoil and
    looting during and after the war, it is fair that they have
    recently received additional commodities.

    ¶5.  The DART reports that the population in the three
    northern governorates is extremely happy to be receiving
    better quality commodities, as there had been a number of
    complaints over the years about the quality of rice and
    sometimes also flour.  They are especially pleased to
    receive vegetable oil rather than ghee for the first time.

    ------------------
    NINAWA GOVERNORATE
    ------------------

    ¶6.  The public distribution system (PDS) should begin in
    Ninawa Governorate on or about 3 June with wheat flour and
    sugar.  Distributions of other commodities will follow as
    they are received.  WFP is especially pleased with strong
    Coalition and Ministry of Trade (MOT) support, and believes
    the distributions should go fairly smoothly, pending
    availability of all commodities.  The fraudulent 40-
    commodity public distribution system (PDS) list, which
    apparently originated in Mosul, does not appear to be
    affecting distribution preparations at this time.  Mosul
    residents have reported that they have seen television
    notices regarding the USD 105 per metric ton (MT) as the
    sale price for the wheat harvest, but no details were given
    about procedures.

    ¶7.  In the contested areas, such as Ninawa-Dahuk (e.g.,
    Shekhan) and Ninawa-Arbil (e.g., Makhmur), the food agents
    will continue to pick up their rations from the same points
    as before, which in general is Mosul.  WFP believes that
    approximately 400,000 people would be affected in making
    changes to the current boundaries.  Such a major shift would
    involve a massive operation to alter ration cards, something
    WFP wants to avoid at this time.  Once the border issues are
    officially resolved, ration cards can be changed
    accordingly, if in fact, the PDS is still providing a ration
    to every Iraqi at that point.

    ---------------------
    AT'TAMIM GOVERNORATE
    ---------------------

    ¶8.  In At'Tamim Governorate, the PDS was scheduled to begin
    on 5 June in Kirkuk with wheat flour and sugar.  As in
    Mosul, distributions of other commodities will follow as
    they are received.  Unfortunately, Kirkuk is less prepared
    than Mosul to re-start the PDS.  The Kurdish authorities
    installed new MOT managers who had with little experience
    and no institutional knowledge of the PDS.  Even so, WFP was
    trying to work with the former managers, and reported that
    Coalition forces had not taken a strong stand to support the
    positions of the old managers leading up to the June
    distribution.  The DART reports that on 2 June, Coalition
    forces reinstated the previous head of the MOT, and assigned
    the Kurdish man from As Sulaymaniyah to be the deputy.  WFP
    and the DART feel this appointment will be helpful in
    getting the PDS on track in At'Tamim.

    ------------------------
    SALAH AD DIN GOVERNORATE
    ------------------------

    ¶9.  WFP is storing some commodities for Tikrit in Dahuk, and
    last week, WFP began delivering food directly to Tikrit,
    using commercial trucks.  On 30 May, the DART traveled to
    Tikrit, where Civil Military Operations Center (CMOC)
    personnel noted that they had deemed the city's security
    status permissive.  However, with Tikrit being the last
    governorate capital to become permissive, it is behind the
    rest of the country in PDS preparations.  (Note:  Not all
    parts of Salah ad Din Governorate have been declared
    permissive.)  For the U.N., however, Tikrit remains off
    limits.  The DART urged the U.N. Security Coordinator
    (UNSECOORD) to conduct a security assessment of Tikrit,
    which took place on 4 June.  WFP international logistics and
    program staff hope to access the area on or about 7 June.

    ¶10.  On 3 June, the DART returned to Tikrit and met with
    Coalition forces (including the U.S. military governor and
    Civil Affairs [CA] personnel), WFP national staff, and the
    MOT head of the food department.  WFP currently has
    approximately 10,000 MT of stocks in Tikrit: 5,500 MT wheat
    flour (almost enough for June), 4,035 MT rice, and
    approximately 600 MT of lentils.  In addition, the MOT has
    enough tea and soap for the June distribution and very large
    stocks of sugar.  The MOT also expects to receive 950 MT
    ghee or vegetable oil, 450 MT detergent, and 40 MT infant
    formula in the coming days from southern Iraq.  Beans will
    still be somewhat short, and beneficiaries in Tikrit prefer
    beans to lentils.  The DART will be discussing beans options
    with WFP for the July distribution.  This will be dependent,
    however, on availability of other types of beans.

    ¶11.  The WFP Tikrit national staff team leader (a Ph.D.-
    holding former diplomat) and his team were found to be doing
    an excellent job managing both the commodities and relations
    with Coalition forces and the MOT -- despite lacking any
    supervision, communication, or transport.  The public
    distribution is scheduled to begin in Salah Ad Din
    Governorate on or about 5 June, and is expected to proceed
    rather smoothly, according to Coalition forces and WFP
    sources, given the continuity and competence of most MOT
    staff in the Governorate.  The arrival of WFP international
    staff will build on the strong MOT and WFP team already in
    place.

    ¶12.  Coalition forces are guarding MOT stocks with soldiers
    and three armored personnel carriers.  However, WFP's
    warehouses at the grain silo are not yet protected.  DART
    and CA personnel impressed upon the governor the importance
    of having Coalition forces guard the WFP stores, and he
    agreed to follow up.

    ¶13.  Among other issues raised, the governor noted the
    importance of salary payments for ex-soldiers, many of whom
    had abandoned their posts as directed by Coalition forces.
    The governor felt this to be particularly important in an
    area such as Tikrit, where a large percentage of the
    population served in the former military.  Regarding this
    and a number of other issues that were raised, Coalition
    forces in Tikrit believe that opening an Office of the
    Coalition Provisional Authority (OCPA) in Tikrit would be
    especially beneficial to them and to the area.  The DART is
    following up with OCPA/North to arrange a Tikrit visit in
    order to meet with military and other personnel there.

    ¶14.  The Tikrit MOT Grain Board is functional, and is aware
    of the USD 105 per MT wheat purchase price, but still awaits
    detailed guidance from Baghdad regarding the procedures.

    ------------------------------
    PROBLEMS AT THE TURKISH BORDER
    ------------------------------

    ¶15.  Recently, Turkish drivers protested the rising fees
    they had been forced to pay the Peshmergas as they enter
    Iraq.  The protests caused huge delays at the border.  Due
    to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Swiss
    dinars, the "parking fee" collected in Swiss dinars went
    from USD 20 to USD 80 in recent days.  During the height of
    the delays last weekend, there were 2,800 trucks blocked at
    the border crossing.  On 1 June, the issue was resolved
    between WFP and the local authorities with an agreement to
    pay USD 20 for the parking fee at the border.  This saves
    the truckers from having to change U.S. dollars to Swiss
    dinars to pay the fee.

    ¶16.  Government fuel pumps in the north are now charging
    customers in old Iraqi dinars, i.e., Saddam dinars, under an
    agreement with the Coalition.  This marks the first time
    this currency has been used in the north since 1991.  (Note:
    While government stations are using the Saddam notes, most
    fuel is still sold or resold on city sidewalks in Swiss
    dinars.  End Note.)
