SUBJECT: AMBASSADOR MEETS WITH NEW MINSTER OF LEGAL AFFAIRS 
 
ΒΆ1.  Ambassador met with newly appointed Minister of Legal 
Affairs, Adnan Omar al-Jefri, on February 26.  Ambassador 
congratulated al-Jefri, who was previously Minister of 
Justice, on his posting.  Al-Jefri discussed the challenges 
in balancing rights and responsibilities when drafting and 
enforcing laws and regulations, including the new draft press 
law. Al-Jefri stated that the Ministry will conduct outreach 
programs to educate the public about their rights under the 
law, and will also train law enforcement officials on 
respecting the public's rights.  Ambassador indicated that 
the USG may be able to assist in those efforts. Al-Jefri 
welcomed the idea of professional exchange and development 
programs with the American Bar Association and law school 
faculties in the United States.
