SUBJECT: 57TH UNFC: DEMARCHE ON IRAQ'S DEPLETED URANIUM
RESOLUTION DELIVERED TO JORDAN
REF: STATE 209797
(SBU) On October 24, PolCouns and Poloff delivered reftel
demarche on Iraq's DU resolution to Ayman Aamiri, Deputy
Director of the MFA's IO Department. Aamiri noted that in
2001 Jordan had voted for the resolution in the First
Committee, but then abstained in the final UNGA vote.
PolCouns underlined that, this year as last year, the U.S.
viewed the Iraqi resolution as a transparent propaganda ploy,
that the scientific evidence on the subject has already been
clearly established, and that we want to see the matter
settled in the UNFC vote. To that end, we hoped Jordan could
oppose the resolution in the UNFC. Aamiri promised to convey
our points to Jordan's Mission in New York.
