Subject: Greetings from the Eisenhower School -- Request for Contact Info

Hello Ms. Ilany and Dr. Harel,

Thank you all for meeting with me a few weeks ago in Israel.  I had a series of very successful visits there, and we are moving forward with our plans to have two small Eisenhower School student groups visit Israel next April.

During our discussion, I think one or both of you might have mentioned you could provide me with the contact information for some individuals I should reach to help coordinate a future student visit.

Could you please send us the contact information for the people listed below, if you have it?  Email addresses would be fine; if you have phone numbers, please add those too. 

We are in the process of drafting a letter to send to the Israeli Embassy in Washington to officially request visits by our two groups:  the Cyber Domain/Advanced Computing Industry Study (Cyber IS), and the Missile Defense Industry Study (MD IS).  Someone mentioned to me this approach would help the government decide internally who would sponsor/coordinate the visit.

It would be helpful to have contact information for...

- Mr. Haim Ulmer (Israeli Embassy in Washington) -- (please add a mailing address if different from this:  Embassy of Israel to the United States, 3514 International Dr NW, Washington, DC 20008)
- The MAFAT representative in Washington
- The cyber representative in Washington, if there is one

With respect to MAFAT, our limited contact information includes:

Mr. David (Dudi) Ovadia, Head of International Relations for MAFAT -- no contact info Ms. Revital  _____ -- +972 (0)3-693-4192 -- works for Mr. Ovadia

CAPT Ted Nunamaker, USN, leads the Missile Defense IS, and he would like to reach out to an appropriate point of contact in MAFAT to discuss options for his group's visit.

Someone also provided me with this information, which I have not yet used:

Ms. Gali Levakov
Cyber Attaché
PM Office
glevakov@cyber.gov.il

Perhaps this person would be a better contact than the Washington-based cyber attaché, if there is one.

I have cc'd LTC Matan Or and LT Toby Siegal of the Israel National Defense College (INDC), who have been helping us -- perhaps they might already have some of the contact information we are requesting.

We will most likely route our letter to Mr. Ulmer at the Israeli Embassy, since that is what someone there recommended.

Best regards,
Andrew
