SUBJECT: ENCOURAGING TURKISH ATTENDANCE AT THE NOVEMBER 7-8
BIOMETRICS CONFERENCE IN JORDAN

REF: SECSTATE 175052

On October 20, poloff delivered reftel points to both the
Turkish National Police's Intelligence Department (Acting)
Head and to the MFA's International Terror, Organized Crime,
and Drug Trafficking Department Head. Our meeting was the
first word either office had of the conference. TNP's
Intelligence Department was concerned that as a result of the
emphasis on fingerprinting, the invitation would be directed
to the criminal department instead, but readily agreed that
the counterterrorism angle was of interest to them. The MFA
expressed interest and agreed to check into the conference
within the ministry.
