SUBJECT: Action Request: GOM Proposes October for Visit of President 
Enkhbayar to U.S. 
 
 
SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED - NOT FOR INTERNET DISTRIBUTION 
 
 1.  (U) This is an action request.  Please see para 4. 
 
 2.  (SBU) Presidential Foreign Policy Advisor Tsogtbaatar called in 
the Charge on May 7 to propose dates for President Enkhbayar's trip 
to the United States.  Tsogtbaatar stated that any time during the 
month of October could be made to work from the Mongolian side, and 
he asked that the embassy help obtain what date(s) during this 
period would work best for the U.S.  President Enkhbayar had 
already-scheduled foreign trips in September and November, but not 
in October, he said.  (Note: During a March 5 telephone call, 
President Bush invited President Enkhbayar to visit the U.S. at a 
mutually convenient time this year, reciprocating his own November 
2005 visit to Mongolia.  After the call, Tsogtbaatar had informally 
discussed possible windows with the embassy, but had not conveyed a 
firm window for the embassy to convey to the White House.) 
 
 3.  (SBU) Tsogtbaatar underlined President Enkhbayar's hope that the 
signing of a Millennium Challenge Account compact will be the center 
piece of the October trip.  Tsogtbaatar said he understood that the 
possibility of a signing ceremony would be related to the 
availability of funds, especially if MCC funds it with FY 08 money. 
He expressed pleasure with the current good progress on the proposed 
compact. 
 
 4.  (SBU) Action request:  Embassy requests guidance to convey to 
the GOM on the best windows in October for a U.S. visit by President 
Enkhbayar.  While we have not yet been asked how the U.S. intends to 
describe the visit -- "official," "working," etc. -- this question 
is likely soon to come, and we also request guidance on this issue.
