(SBU) Econoff delivered reftel demarche to Nadia Al-Saeed,
Secretary-General of the Ministry of Information and

SIPDIS
Communications Technology. Saeed expressed pleasure with the
U.S. positions on terminal fees, but requested that a formal
letter be sent from the Embassy to the ministry outlining the
USG positions on issues likely to be dealt with by the UPU
Postal Operations Council, so that the letter could be
compared to other letters that the ministry has received from
other countries petitioning GOJ support in their respective
bids for positions in the UPU. She indicated, however, that
even with the delivery of such a letter, Jordan is unlikely
to inform the United States of the way in which it will vote
until the day of the election.
