1. Poloff delivered ref A and B demarches to Foreign Ministry
Legal Advisor Bishar Khassawneh regarding the upcoming
International Labor Conference in Geneva. Khassawneh noted
that Jordan shares U.S. concerns over International Labor
Organization (ILO) budgetary increases. Poloff urged that the
Jordanian delegation at the conference support U.S. efforts
to further cut the proposed increases.
2. Poloff also asked for Jordan's support of Barbados's
candidacy to the ILO Governing Body, over that of Cuba.
Talking points, in the form of non-papers, were left for both
issues. Khassawneh promised to pass these to other concerned
parties in the Foreign Ministry, and to the Ministry of Labor
(whose leadership is currently out of the country) and to
advise the USG once Jordan's position is decided.
