REF: STATE 27055 
 
Classified By: Ambassador William A. Eaton for reasons 1.4 (B) and (D) 
 
(C) Ambassador Eaton presented Reftel demarche on Defeating 
Venezuela in the 2006 Election for Non-Permanent Seat on the 
UN Security Counsel to Foreign Minister Samuel Lewis on 
February 24. Lewis told Ambassador Eaton "I hear you loud 
and clear" on defeating Venezuela in the 2006 UNSC election. 
Lewis, however, did not commit to supporting the U.S. on this 
issue and wants to continue talking with us about it. 
Ambassador Eaton told Lewis he wants to continue the 
discussion to ensure Panama doesn't support Venezuela.
