1. (C) On November 14, CDA delivered ref A points to Deputy
Foreign Minister Mohiedeen Al-Dhabi on seeking an exchange of
diplomatic notes between the USG and the ROYG to ensure that
Yemeni detainees eligible for transfer will not pose a
continuing threat to the interests of either government. CDA
also stressed the importance of receiving written assurances
that transferees will be treated humanely in accordance with
the ROYG's international obligations. Al-Dhabi did not
anticipate any difficulties with providing written
assurances, which would emphasize Saleh's previous verbal
agreement to accept transfers (ref B). As requested, post
will report any ROYG request for modification to these
assurances.
