1.  EMBASSY SANTIAGO GRANTS COUNTRY CLEARANCE TO NOAA
NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES WILLIAM
COBB AND WAYNE TRIVELPIECE, ACCOMPANIED BY INVITATIONAL
TRAVELERS JEREMY STERLING AND TERRY CARTEN, WHO WILL
TRAVEL TO PUNTA ARENAS, CHILE ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 4 TO
MARCH 7, 1998.  THE PURPOSE OF THIS OFFICIAL VISIT IS TO
PARTICIPATE IN ANTARCTIC ECO RESEARCH GROUP CRUISE/FIELD
STUDIES.

2.  ALL TRAVELERS WITH DIPLOMATIC OR OFFICIAL PASSPORTS
REQUIRE A VISA TO ENTER CHILE.

3.  BANCO EDWARDS AND AFEX HAVE MONEY EXCHANGE FACILITIES
LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR CUSTOMS AREAS AS YOU LEAVE
THE AIRPORT.  THERE ARE ALSO NUMEROUS AUTOMATED TELLER
MACHINES LOCATED THROUGHOUT SANTIAGO, INCLUDING AT THE
AIRPORT, WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO BOTH THE CIRRUS AND PLUS
ATM NETWORKS.

4.  BUSES FROM AIRPORT TO DOWNTOWN AREA LEAVE EVERY
FIFTEEN MINUTES AND COST ABOUT 600 PESOS (1.50 US
DOLLARS).  AIRPORT TAXIS TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA COST ABOUT
8,000 PESOS (20.00 US DOLLARS).  TAXIS ARE METERED.

5.  CHILE'S CLIMATE IS PLEASANT.  SEASONS ARE THE REVERSE
OF THOSE IN THE U.S. YOUR VISIT WILL OCCUR IN THE SPRING.
REGARDLESS OF THE SEASON, THE TEMPERATURE DROPS
CONSIDERABLY AT NIGHT.
6.  ALL AREAS OF SANTIAGO ARE AFFECTED BY A HIGH INDEX OF
POLLUTION WHICH APPEARS AS A HEAVY SMOG IN THE WINTER AND
DUST IN THE SUMMER.  POLLUTION LEVELS RISE TO
UNACCEPTABLE LEVELS (PM-10 LEVELS OF 240 MCG./M3) AN
AVERAGE OF FIVE TO SIX TIMES PER YEAR.  THE MAJOR HEALTH
EFFECTS INCLUDE DIFFICULTIES WITH BREATHING, RESPIRATORY
PROBLEMS AND AGGRAVATION OF EXISTING RESPIRATORY,
CARDIOVASCULAR, ALLERGIC AND ASTHMATIC DISEASES.  THIS IS
PARTICULARLY TRUE FOR THE ELDERLY AND CHILDREN AND FOR
THOSE WITH CONFIRMED ASTHMATIC AND ALLERGIC SYMPTOMS.
THE MOST SEVERE POLLUTION OCCURS DURING THE MONTHS OF MAY
TO OCTOBER.

7.  VISITORS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE CRIMINAL ENVIRONMENT
IN SANTIAGO, WHICH IS RATED HIGH FOR U.S. GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEES.  STREET CRIME, COMMON TO MANY SOUTH AMERICAN
CITIES, IS A PROBLEM.  ONE SHOULD BE PARTICULARLY ALERT
IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
