Disclosing this, the U.S. Pacific Command chief, Admiral Timothy J. Keating, said here that an assessment team had visited Sri Lanka some two-three months ago for an assessment and had subsequently submitted a list of options to the U.S. government. “We gave our report to the State Department through our Ambassador in Sri Lanka preparing a range of options available, none of which remain executed,” Adm. Keating said in response to a question whether the U.S. Navy was asked to be on stand-by to launch humanitarian assistance or evacuate civilians.
