Matrix Supplement

This a supplement to C REW 'S Hurricane Katrina International O ffers of Assistance

Matrix designed to further explain reasons that certain offers from countries were declined oraccepted. Listed below are categories of offers and explanations that were found within the

docu me nts for their rejection or acceptance. There are also several specific examples of countrieswhose offers were declined or approved because of a specific known reason.

Medical Assistance:

A S eptember 9 mem o sta tes that doctors of any kind are in the "forget about it" category.

(DE43).a A September 6 memo indicated that no medical offers (personnel or drugs) were being

accepted with the exc eption of forensics . It mentions licensure as a n issue and that itwould be beneficial to know if any of the offered medical teams had been U.S. trained.(RF

95 )A memo d ated Septemb er 13 indicated that medicines and med ical related offers are not

to be accepted due to "sensitivities abo ut state licensing." (RF 360)

• In 1997, regulations were put in place by the U.S. G overnment banning the im portation of

British beef following the outbreak of Mad Cow disease. (B220B)

Following Hurricane Katrina, the USDA prevented the distribution of approximately33,000 MR Es from G ermany, Spain, Russia and France. This was due to EU regulations

of beef that did not meet USDA standards. There was some discussion of redistributing

the packages to another nation in need - possibly G eorgia, Panam a or Haiti. (B 196,B220B, B 142)Unused M RE's were housed in a storage unit costing $16 ,000 per month. (B220B)

• The U.S. Government tried to return M REs from the United Kingdom- but the UK wouldnot accept them - approx numbering 300,000. (B142, B162)According to Adam Ereli, a DOS Deputy Spo kesman, the need for MR Es followingKatrina was met in the first few days and supply far exceeded demand. (B162).

a A "State Department negotiated" exception to the banning of foreign foodstuffs areRussian M REs, T hai rice and Israeli powdered milk. (N39)

WaterPum.~s/Generators:

a According to a September 28 memo, the Dutch M inister of Trade w as frustrated w ithattempts to donate flood technology because the Jones and Buy A merican Acts were

preventing them from doing so. (B47)a Th e Army C orps of Engineers was on ly interested in receiving large spec generators - any

small generators (less than 20KW) were not accepted. (D D 101)



Misc:

• The offer from the Ukrainian people of $10,000 and supplies was urged to be accepted

because the donato rs were often very poor and it was a "symbolic d onation." (D T93)Sam e me mo (DT 93) points out that there are serious political issues in which offers get

accepted and which get denied.Israel expressed dissatisfaction at the delay in Washington w hen they had a C -130 aircraft

with relief supplies on the tarmac for over 48 hours w aiting for clearance. (DEO1)Tunisia expressed dissatisfaction at the delay in Washington w hen they had tw o C -130

aircraft loaded and ready to leave but could not confirm a U.S. destination. (TC 90). A Fren ch salvage tug was recalled after it had already departed once com mun ication

finally reached the H urricane Task Force that the offer had been officially declined.

(TB111)

Argentina:

Argen tinian mental health experts were accepted and appear to be the exception to theFEM A rule because of their international reputation. (T B 180) They were associated w iththe UN and has assisted in most m ajor disasters in the last ten years. (DD 43).

Cavman Islands:

a The dona tions from the Caym an Islands were highlighted as particularly gen erous butdenied due to the damage of Hurricane Ivan. (B57)

Colombia:

30+ disaster personnel w ere declined because only a select few (4) were deem ed capable

and had English language sk ills. (DI183) Clearan ce for the 4 was finally obtained by HHS

on S eptemb er 15 (DD18 ) but as of October 5Ih arrangem ents were still being m ade fortheir arrival. (RE226)

According to DO S, the offers from Cuba w ere rejected because of Hurricane D ennis justa few weeks earlier and the fact that many Cubans were still in need. (DQ 73B)

El Salvador:

• Th e Fonom ed company offered their services of telephone medical consultations to theSpanish-speaking community affected by Katrina. This was denied because of licensing

requirements in the U.S. (DS 1 18)

Estonia:



rn A response to the offer from Estonia was seriously delayed, prompting this quote from

the US E mbassy in Tallinn: "It is getting downrigh t embarrassing here not to have a

response to the E stonians on flood relief. ..We know that what th e E stonians can offer is

small potatoes and that everyone at FEM A is swamped, but at this point even a 'thanks

but no thanks' is better than deafening silence." (LT125 )

Macedonia:

• An offer of blankets came through that put the Hurricane Relief Fund in a dilemma.

According to an em ail exchange, if the blankets were accepted they would be put in

storage creating potential bad press. If the blankets were denied, then the earlier

acceptance of cash would look bad. This is an example of a com mon problem that was

discussed in the documents.(B27)
