1. (U) PolOff delivered reftel points to MFA Multilateral
Affairs Director Sylvia Corrado on June 8. Corrado asserted
that GOG wished to respect its obligations to Article VII of
the Chemical Weapons Convention, but that she was not aware
of any current legislation. Corrado will bring up the CWC
Article VII obligations at an July GOG seminar on
implementation of international agreements and treaties
ratified in Guatemala.
