Official travel to meet with President Salih on international trade issues. The staff delegation was tentatively scheduled to meet with President Salih in Sanaa on Feb. 19.* However, upon arriving in Sanaa at 10 p.m. on Feb. 18th we were informed by U.S. Embassy personnel that President Salih would be in Mukallah the next morning and that the Government of Yemen has arranged to transport us there for the meeting. Given the late hour of our arrival in Sanaa, and given that we would be required to leave early the next morning, non-acceptance of the flight and thus the cancellation of the meeting would have caused the donor embarrassment.
