1. (U) This cable contains an action request; see para 3.


2. (SBU) On September 22, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(MFA) Disarmament-Director, Imran Haider, called in Poloff to
pass diplomatic note Dismnt-1/9/06 dated September 22, 2006.
The Government of Pakistan (GOP) is requesting the
Department's help to facilitate coordinating frequencies
between USG satellites and Pakistan's satellite, Paksat-1, at
the 38 degree east longitude orbit. Haider said the GOP is
prepared to send a team to the United States to work out the
issues or it could host a U.S. team in Pakistan. (Note: Post
has e-mailed a scanned copy of the diplomatic note and
attached documents to SCA. End note.)


3. (SBU) Post requests SCA/PB assistance forwarding the GOP
request to the relevant FCC office.
