1. (s) DCM met Jordanian Energy Minister Mohammed Bataineh
July 7 to deliver reftel demarche points. Bataineh was
clearly disappointed, but noted that the GOJ would look to
other methods to solve their summer refining problems. For
the current year this would mean continuing to import
gasoline for local consumption from Iraq under the
long-standing oil and trade protocols. For the future,
Bataineh said the GOJ would look again at increasing storage
capacity for fuel oil and gas oil, a project he estimated
would take one year and $45-50 million to complete.
