(C) Per Ref A para 2, Post believes the GOC is not likely to react positively at this late stage to additional requests regarding the Third Additional Protocol. GOC officials have consistently responded positively to our requests for support (Refs B-D). The Foreign Ministry also sent the Swiss Embassy here a diplomatic note to this effect. The Swiss Embassy has told us privately it appreciates Chile's support and has cautioned us against pressing the Chileans too hard. Given the GOC's commitment to the Protocol, Post does not believe it would be productive to approach the Chilean government again. KELLY
