1. EconChief Delivered Reftel demarche to MFA Director For
International Cooperation Yacoub Al-Hosani on August 25
urging support for the U.S. candidacy to the Universal
Postal Union' Postal Operations Council (POC) and for the
election of James Wade as POC Chair. Al-Hosani stated that
the UAEG would give serious consideration to the U.S.
candidate. He added that he thought that the UAE was also
applying for membership, but that he would need to check.
EconChief said that we would give the UAE's candidacy
serious consideration if this were the case.
2. Subsequently, EconChief received a note from the MFA
stating that the UAE was applying to join the POC and
offering its support for the U.S. candidacy in exchange for
USG support for the UAE's candidacy. EconChief contacted Al-
Hosani to reiterate that the USG would give the UAE's
candidacy serious consideration, and to clarify that our
policy was not to engage in vote trading. Al-Hosani said
that he understood and that the UAE would still consider the
USG's candidacy seriously.
