1. (S) Charge delivered reftel points to Foreign Minister
al-Mulki on January 26. Mulki expressed Jordanian
appreciation for the cooperative spirit of the message and
agreed fully on the need to close any gaps that terrorists
might exploit at Arab Bank. He intended to call Arab Bank
Chairman Shoman immediately and urge him to convey to OCC
directly his willingness to pay fines, close the New York
wire office, and begin a discussion on timing and publicity.


2. (S/NF) RMAS will be delivering a parallel message to GID
Chief Saad Khayr later on January 26, and Charge will review
with Royal Court Minister al-Rifai as well.
