OTHER INFORMATION:

The State Department issues Consular Information Sheets for every country in

the world. They include such information as the location of the U.S. embassy

or consulate in the subject country, health conditions, political

disturbances, unusual currency and entry regulations, crime and security

information, and drug penalties.

The State Department also issues Travel Warnings. Travel Warnings are issued

when the State Department decides, based on all relevant information, to

recommend that Americans avoid travel to a certain country. Countries where

avoidance of travel is recommended will have Travel Warnings as well as

Consular Information Sheets.

Consular Information Sheets and Travel Warnings may be heard anytime by

dialing (202) 647-5225 from a touchtone phone. They are also available at

any of the 13 regional U.S. passport agencies, at U.S. embassies and

consulates abroad, and through the airline computer reservation systems, or,

by writing and sending a self-addressed, stamped business size envelope to the

Overseas Citizens Services, Bureau of Consular Affairs, Room 4811, U.S.

Department of State, Washington, D.C. 20520-4818.

If you have a personal computer, modem and communications software, you can

access them, and other consular handouts and publications through the

Consular Affairs Bulletin Board (CABB). This service is free of charge.

To access CABB, dial the modem number: (202) 647-9225; set modem speed (will

accommodate 300, 1200, 2400, 9600 or 14400 bps); and terminal communications
