>         Dear Mr. Krisher,
>
>         Just to let you know that your fax concerning the Home Page
>         on the Internet to help the North Korean flood victims was
>         received late today.
>
>         It should have gone directly to Mr. Francis Mwanza, the
>         acting Director of Public Affairs, but because it came in on
>         the fax machine of the Operational Policy and Support
>         Division, I had a chance to see it first.
>
>         I have been following the operation and situation in North
>         Korea very closely, and giving as much support as I could to
>         Mr. Trevor Page in his work, so it was most useful to take
>         the information in your fax and access your Home Page, which
>         I read with great interest (having read about it in the
>         Herald Tribune some time ago).  Not only will your fax be
>         passed on right away tomorrow morning to Mr. Mwanza, to the
>         desk officer (Mr.  Georgio Maragliano), and to Mr. Page, who
>         arrived in Rome today, but I have printed out your Home Page
>         to attach to the fax. (Mr. Mwanza can of course access you
>         easily, but some of my other colleagues are a little behind
>         us when it comes to using the Internet).
>
>         I am sending in a separate message a copy of the message we
>         received by e-mail from the American Red Cross a few weeks
>         ago.  Perhaps you are already in contact, but if not, Mr. Tom
>         Baker sounds like a useful contact point in AmCross.
>
>         We have received a few more donations for the WFP operation,
>         but I will let the desk officer or Mr. Mwanza or Mr. Page
>         up-date you on those.  The general picture of donor paralysis
>         which you describe so well has not much changed.
>
>         Along with many other people here at WFP headquarters, I
>         am determined that we should continue to bring as much
>         attention as we can to the North Korean situation, no matter
>         how unpopular the operation is with donors.
>
>         My colleagues will be in touch with you about your request
>         soon.  I will be away for a week, but if you need to follow
>         up by e-mail, use mwanza@wfp.org.

>AmCross is currently working closely with the Federation in Geneva to
>pressure the U.S. Government into making a more substantial contribution
>towards the UN and Red Cross appeals for North Korea.  Because of
>increasing press coverage, the Clinton Administration is placing a greater
>emphasis on a response.  At the same time, the State Department fears a
>congressional backlash unless precise indicators of malnutrition, famine
>and so forth are presented.
>
>If you have such information and can provide it to me here, I will present
>it to State and USAID.  Title II food is being discussed now, so any
>information you have would be greatly appreciated.
>
>In addition, AmCross will be leading an advocacy push on North Korea in
>January.  This will likely involve congressional testimony.  At that time,
>WFP participation would be welcomed.
