1. (S) Ambassador April 17 covered ref points on fleeing
Iraqi officials with Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher. The
Ambassador asked that Jordan not permit fleeing Iraqi
officials entry into Jordan, and asked that the GOJ inform
the USG if Jordan received any information about the travel
of former Iraqi officials.


2. (S) Muasher responded "we don't intend to take them in,"
and had his assistant write down the names of the five senior
Iraqi officials mentioned in reftel. He asked why the names
of Saddam Hussein and Qusay Saddam Hussein did not appear on
that list. Did the USG know something more about their fate?
If so, he asked that we inform the GOJ.
