(C) In a March 26 meeting with Ambassador Khalid Abdul
Mohsen Al-Babtain, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Americas
Department Director, the DCM delivered reftel demarches and
left copies of the non-papers. Al-Babtain responded that he
would pass the information to Foreign Minister Shaykh Dr.
Mohammad Al-Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah. Noting the greater
importance Shi'as give to their clerical leaders, Al-Babtain
commented that Al-Sadr has an ability to "move the street,"
but needs a more experienced partner to have any political
influence.
