accompanying diplomatic note to Ambassador for UN and OAS
Affairs Michelle Cohen, both requesting Dominican support for
the candidacy of Michael Matheson for the International Law
Commission (ILC). At the time, Cohen noted that the
Dominican government had only just begun studying the various

Matheson's candidature. (Ref C).

regarding the upcoming election.
