Classified By: A/DCM Martin Hohe for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
1. (S) Poloff February 22 delivered reftel demarche on WEOG
mention of "next generation agents" to MFA UN and
Nonproliferation Director Jan Kara (Note: Reftel reported the
Czech Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) had
made several inappropriate comments at the February 8 WEOG
meeting about the history of such agents and their possible
addition to the CWC schedules. End note). Kara responded he
was unfamiliar with the incident but promised to investigate
the matter and report back. He said he fully understood USG
concerns in relation to discussion of next generation agents
and their possible addition to the CWC Schedules of
Chemicals. Kara said the SAB Chairman's comments did not
conform to the guidance given to the Czech delegation. He
wondered whether the Chairman had been speaking on the basis
of reading material he had gained in his capacity as a member
of the SAB. Embassy Prague will report Kara's findings and
the MFA's planned remedial action as soon as the information
becomes available.
