1. (S) The Ambassador delivered reftel demarche to Foreign
Minister Shaykh Dr. Mohammed Al-Sabah during their July 28
meeting (other topics septel). The FM said Kuwait had
already agreed in principle to supporting Polish forces, as
long as the burden was also shared by other nations. He
added that Prime Minster Shaykh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah had
already verbalized the GOK's intent to do so to Secretary
Rumsfeld.


2. (S) Dr. Mohammed said Kuwait was in the process of
conceptualizing how it could make in-kind contributions to

transportation services to the Polish forces. He also
acknowledged that GOK contributions would go beyond such
assistance in kind.
