DRAFT PROPOSAL ON UN REFORM


1. (U) This is an action request. Please see para 3.


2. (SBU) In a June 6 meeting, MFA International Organizations
Director Yacoub Al-Hosani asked Econchief if the Embassy
could provide him with any information on the U.S. position
with regard to the draft G-4 resolution on UN reform.
Al-Hosani said that he had seen the positions of other "key
players" in UN reform, but was piecing together the U.S.
position from news reports and Department of State press
events. Al-Hosani added that he had read that the U.S. said
that it planned to come out with its position shortly. He
said that the UAE would be attending the G-77 ministerial and
summit in Qatar from June 12-16 and it would be useful for
the UAE to know the U.S. position in order to see where it
could find common ground. He added that the information
would also help the GCC formulate its position on the G-4
draft. According to Al-Hosani, his colleagues and superiors
have been expressing a high level of interest in the U.S.
position.


3. (U) Action request: Please provide us any information
that we can share with the UAEG on this subject. The
delegation will be leaving for Doha on Saturday, June 11.
Al-Hosani asked that, if at all possible, we provide the
information before the Thursday-Friday local weekend.
