Discussion of the Council dinner and opportunities for interaction with the Thai delegation and sponsorship (see #2 below) D. Development of Private Sector input for the US Thailand Economic Framework which should be signed as part of the visit (see # 3 below) 2. We are planning a major dinner for PM Thaksin and his delegation to be proceeded by a pre-dinner CEO meeting on Friday evening, November 30, 2001. Please let me know if you are interested in a host sponsorship for the dinner at $10,000. 3. We will be asked to develop the Private Sector element of the US Thailand Economic Framework which will definitely follow the lines of much of what we pursued during our just-completed Mission to Thailand, October 9-10. In addition, we will be gathering infomation on any deals and/or training/community support programs that could be signed or announced during the visit. We hope to develop a better snapshot of current US investment in Thailand, investment $'s, number of employees, education/training/human resource development, etc. We found during our recent visit that no one, the US Embassy, AmCham, seems to have this information. Thoughts about how best to do this will be appreciated. Please let me know if you have any questions and please respond on the form below if you would like to attend the 10/25 meeting. Thank you. ____ YES, I WILL ATTEND THE 10/25 MEETING AT THE COUNCIL AT 3:00 PM. (1101 17TH ST., NW, SUITE 411, DC).
