FOIA request 2009-1159-F contains records on President Cardoso’s visits to the U.S. from 1995 thru 1999. President Cardoso made several trips to either New York or Washington D.C. in April and October 1995, March 1996, June 1997 and 1998, and May 1999. The April 1995 trip was for an official state visit. No records were found for the 1996 trip. It should be noted that many of the documents regarding the visits have been withdrawn due to national security restrictions.
