REF: SECSTATE 343170
Embassy is prepared to raise reftel request with the GOG
after the inaugural of President Berger on January 14. We
have no indication from our pre-election contacts with
Berger's foreign policy advisors that pursuing a shipboarding
agreement, as suggested in reftel, would be
counterproductive. The MFA advised us in December that the
outgoing Portillo government had not taken a position on the
Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI),and in the absence
of guidance, lower officials at the MFA were unable to
discuss a PSI shipboarding agreement. We will present reftel
proposal to the MFA after President Berger's new Foreign
Minister is in office.
