Braizat, director, International Organizations Department,
Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Mr. Nayef al-Zaidan,
assistant and consultant to the director; and, Mr. Ayman
al-Ameri, second assistant and consultant to the director.


2. After discussing U.S. initiatives for the 58th UN General
Assembly (reported septel),A/PolCouns delivered ref talking
points requesting GOJ support for the Costa Rican resolution
on human cloning. Braizat suggested that GOJ decisions
regarding a cloning convention would likely be made in New
York and would likely involve the input of several GOJ
actors. All three officials emphasized the complexity of the
issue.


3. It is worth noting that Jordan served as rapporteur for
the UN,s Ad Hoc Committee on an International Convention
against the Reproductive Cloning of Human Beings in early

2002. Given this role, GOJ,s UN Mission should be well
informed on this issue.
