PolOff discussed reftel request with Carla Rodriguez,
Director General for Multilateral Affairs, at the Foreign
Ministry on March 11. Rodriguez said the current fiscal
crisis facing the Guatemalan government (President Beger has
ordered an austerity plan with most Ministries facing 30%
budget cuts) prevents Guatemala from contributing funds to
either the UN or International Committee of the Red Cross at
this point.
