1. This is an action request. Please see paragraph 3.


2. Embassy Madrid received the following note verbale from
the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs June 3 (the note is
dated May 27). Informal embassy translation of the main
points is as follows:

The Government of Spain has decided to present a candidate
for the World Heritage Committee and notes that elections for
this committee will take place next October in the General
Assembly of the World Heritage Convention. The Foreign
Ministry has learned that the U.S. government will also be
presenting a candidate for this committee. The GOS proposes
that the USG consider the possibility of mutually supporting
each others' candidates for this committee. The GOS hopes
that the USG gives strong consideration to its proposal.

End translation.


3. Post requests Department guidance on the appropriate
response to this proposal.
