Background Paper and talking points on LET pre-

Ministry's new UN Security Council Office. Mr.
Njiku's deputy, Mr. Justin Seruele, took notes. The
Tanzanian Foreign Ministry Officials asked if the US

or investments in Tanzania. When he was told that the

activity in East Africa, Mr. Njiku said that he would
keep both embassies informed of any Tanzanian
consultations or actions regarding LET.
