McGee; Shafeeu Idu; Jeffrey Waheed; Masood Imad=br>Cc: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: Fwd: Preliminary Baseline=Polling Memorandum c=:p> McGee, Please fi=d attached a copy of the questionnaire with comments from some of our coll=agues. =/div> We should consider the following issues in =he questionnaire. 1. Drug an= alcohol abuse. National survey of drug users completed recently indicates=there are 7500 active drug users, only 174 persons can be treated at any g=ven time in the current facilities. 2. Infrastructure: sewerage systems, safe water and harbors. Curren=ly roughly one fifth of government budget on these projects. Everywhere we=go that seems to be the demand along with good quality education and healt= care. EFTA_R1_00071744 EFTA01764456 3. Population concent=ation. Majority of islands with population under 1000.64 out of 196 inhab=ted islands with less than 100 students in school. Per capita cost of inve=ting in infrastructure and tertiary services for these small islands is pr=hibitive compared to their relocation to bigger islands. Issue is sensitiv= because people don't like moving to other islands unless there is an ince=tive package including new homes and financial compensation. These issues also need to be reflected in =he questions. For next Friday meeting, Shafeeu wil= be in Sri Lanka, but we will try to bring him and Jeff Waheed into the di=cussion. Best regards</=:p> Waheed Begin forwarded=message: <=div> 2 EFTA_R1_00071745 EFTA01764457
