SUBJECT: POST DOES NOT HAVE FUNDS TO SUPPORT GOP ATTENDANCE
AT WIREC

REF: STATE 5837

In response to reftel, Embassy Lima does not have funds
available to support GOP attendance at WIREC 2008. However,
the Ministry of Energy and Mines has inquired about USG
support with travel costs. If travel funding from the USG
were to be made available, it would increase the ability of
Peru to send a robust delegation. Embassy POC is Deputy Econ
Counselor Marcos Mandojana, mandojanamc@state.gov.
