re: Iraqi olympic athletes training abroad; interim constitution; telecoms in the Mosul Vilayet

Your Excellency,

Iraq’s participation in the Olympic Games in August 2004 will be a defining moment. It will foster the spirit of national unity, reconciliation and reconstruction the more so as Iraq’s athletes will be well prepared. To these effects, we have sought and obtained offers of support by Swiss sports clubs, lawmakers and the Swiss Federal Council. And we are looking forward to work with the Coalition Provisional Administration in order to fully realize the potential of the corresponding training project (www.solami.com/olymp.htm). Please make the necessary arrangements on your side and advise us of how best to communicate with your office on this subject.

The current efforts for developing a new Iraqi Constitution might benefit most if the constitutive and – in international law - still fully valid Declaration of 30 May 1932 (www.solami.com/UNGA.htm) were used at least as the basis for an interim constitution, giving the United Nations an opportunity to activate its dormant role as a garantor of the significant minority & private property protection clauses thus already enacted (www.solami.com/UN92.htm). To these effects, and as outlined in our letters to you of last July and August (www.solami.com/bremer1.doc), we intend to hold as soon as possible a general assembly of our Mosul Vilayet Council which embraces all ethnic tribes and the other constitutive communities of the Mosul Vilayet thus represented through their leaders, including – ex officio - the presidents of all political parties and professional associations. We understand the CAP to have no objection to these treaty-based Iraqi efforts. And we expect your office to give corresponding instructions for facilitating them.

Finally, in the socially, culturally and politically important field of telecommunications, we support the creation of a backbone system accomodating both world standards in mobile and fixed telephony. We are currently discussing corresponding proposals involving such companies as Bechtel, Orascom, Nortel Networks and SR Telecom (www.solami.com/mvcsr.doc). And we’d appreciate your guidance on the responsible CAP officials.

Trusting this to be helpful, we take this opportunity to reassure Your Excellency of our highest considerations, and remain with our best wishes, sincerely yours,

Najim Khedher Al-Sourchi
Registrar & Keeper of Records
