In reply to the discussion: The US will evacuate Americans in Israel by sea [View all]Donkees
(33,448 posts)6. "Evacuation Loan"
I clearly understand that I am accepting evacuation of my own free will and at my own risk to a location chosen by the U.S. Government. The mode of transportation may be via charter or military transport. I also understand that the evacuation flight may not comply with normal international safety or luggage/cargo regulations/standards. In the case of military aircraft travel, the U.S. Government acts only as an agent and not as a contract carrier.
U.S. Citizens: I promise to repay the U.S. Government in U.S. dollars or the foreign currency equivalent, within 30 days of initial billing, and if not repaid within 60 days of initial billing at an interest rate established in accordance with Federal law, for all applicable expenses for my/our evacuation. This evacuation loan is in addition to any other U.S. Government loans received for other purposes. I will keep the Department of State's Accounts Receivable Branch informed of my address(es) until I repay my loan in full. If I am unable to pay this loan in full, the Department of State may, at its discretion and upon my request, forward to me an installment agreement
containing an installment plan for repayment of my loan.
I will be billed for the cost of my/our transportation no greater than the amount of a full-fare economy flight, or comparable alternate transportation, to the designated destination(s) that would have been charged immediately prior to the events giving rise to the evacuation.
My obligation to repay my loan will not be considered paid in full until it clears through the account of the Treasurer of the United States.
Until I have paid my loan in full, I and all listed U.S. citizen family members will only be eligible for a limited validity U.S. passport.
If my loan is in default, I and all listed U.S. citizen family members will not be eligible for a limited validity U.S. passports.
My loan will be subject to interest, penalties, and other charges for late payment as directed by law and regulation.
I will be liable to pay any costs for collection.

Uruguay probably has a fraction of the number of people that we have in Israel.

Before boarding the ship, you will be asked to sign a promissory note - agreement to repay the U.S.
