(C) 1. Acting ECON/C March 15 delivered reftel demarche to
Manar Dabbas in the personal office of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs. Dabbas expressed gratitude for receiving
pre-notification of the proposed list of names being added to
the 661/1518 sanctions committee listing and agreed to keep
them confidential until made publicly available. He took
note of the wording in UNSCR 1483, paragraph 23 (b),and
stated that he would share the information with the Minister
immediately. He noted the two daughters of Saddam residing
in Amman, but gave no indication he knew anything about their
living or financial arrangements. He replied in the negative
when asked if he recognized any other names on the list as
potentially having accounts in Jordan. Dabbas said that the
MFA would inform the Embassy if there were a response later
in the week but, subject to further study and review, foresaw
no problem with the GOJ in general supporting such a listing.
Post will send parallel messages to other interested
Jordanian agencies.
