areas.
2. After consulting again with Fernando Lyrio, Minister Sylvia's
Director for International Relations briefly last week about the
type of agreement be sought to cover the activities, Post was told

environmental agreement. Minister Silva believes she discussed this
concept with U/S Dobriansky last year during a meeting at the

other instruments could be developed to govern the collaborations
and group them together.
3. ESTH Counselor Norman would like to discuss next steps during
consultations in Washington July 24-26, 2006. Will contact Larry
