1.4 B AND D
1. (SBU) Embassy provided reftel points to the offices of
Foreign Ministry Political Director Stansilas de Laboulaye
and Ministry of Finance Director General of the Treasury and
Economic Policy Xavier Musca to update them after their
recent meetings with Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Robert
Kimmitt and State Department Counselor Philip Zelikow.
Laboulaye's office confirmed that France has already named a
"Compact Coordinator," Ambassador Jean-Pierre Guinhut.
2. (C) Poloff discussed the possibility of a French
statement of support with MFA Iraq desk officer Bernard
Cappedelaine, who said France was unlikely to make any
statement until there was further clarification about how the
Compact will proceed, and in particular the calendar for
future meetings. He took the occasion to express the French
sentiment that the Compact should give greater weight to
security issues, and to repeat the French desire to see wider
participation in the Compact, including Russia and
neighboring states in the region.
