1. (C) DCM discussed reftel demarche March 3 with Spanish
President Aznar's National Security Advisor Alberto Carnero.
Carnero undertook to draw President Aznar's attention

counterpart, whom he will meet Friday, March 5 along with
other Central American Prime Ministers, to table a Cuba
resolution at the UN Human Rights Commission. Carnero said
