(SBU) Econoff delivered reftel demarche and non-paper to Dr.
Hossam Aly, Director of the Disarmament Office at the MFA on
November 20. Dr. Aly was aware of U.S. concerns regarding
Arak, but said Egypt takes the position that the TC should
not be "politicized" with this issue. He added that the
Egyptians believe more focus should be placed on the
activities of non-NPT countries. Dr. Aly referenced a
statement made by the Egyptian delegation in the meetings
although post has not yet obtained the text.
