(C) Poloff contacted IO Desk officer Benoit Guidee on October
25 about encouraging Benin's support for bringing Burma
before the UNSC. Guidee informed embassy October 28 that the
French mission in New York had broached the question with the
Beninois delegation, whose "very clear" response had been
"positive." Quai d'Orsay did not pursue the matter with the
Embassy of Benin in Paris, because any attempt to discuss
Asian matters with that Chancery "risked falling into a
vacuum."
