1. (SBU) Pol Unit Chief delivered ref (a) points on March 10
to Dorothea Auer, Office Director for Biological and Chemical
Weapons in MFA's Bureau for Nonproliferation and Arms
Control. Auer said that Austrian representatives (including
herself) would certainly attend these meetings. Austria
probably would not have a presentation of its own, however.


2. (SBU) Further to ref (b),Auer thought that Austria could
support the U.S. proposals, with the caveat that experts had
yet to look at the individual pathogens and toxins. She
pointed out that Austria has no production of the relevant
pumps and other equipment.
