SUBJECT: UN SANCTIONS: DEMARCHE ON JORDANIAN REQUEST TO ADD
TO 1267 COMMITTEE LIST

REF: A. BERRY/SUTPHIN E-MAILS

B. SECSTATE 149439

Classified By: PolCouns Doug Silliman for reasons 1.5 (B) and (D)


1. (C) Following up on earlier Embassy approaches to the
GOJ (ref a),PolCouns on August 6 covered ref b points on
Jordan's request to add 9 names to the 1267 Committee List
with Ali al-Ayed, Personal Assistant to Foreign Minister
Muasher. PolCouns explained that the USG would like Jordan
to submit additional identifying information for each
individual on the list, as well as a summary of the reasons
why the GOJ believes they are members of al-Qaeda. He asked
that the Jordanian Mission ask that the 1267 Committee not
circulate the current list, then re-submit a more complete
list to the 1267 Committee after consulting with the USG.


2. (C) Ayed took the points and promised to pass them on to
the Jordanian Mission in New York. He also agreed that
informal GOJ-USG consultation on the appropriate information
to add to the 1267 request was a good idea.


3. (C) COMMENT: Post greatly appreciates the background
information provided in ref b.
