1. (U) On August 30, Econoff shared reftel points on U.S.
assistance to Lebanon with Maaike van Koldam, Deputy Head,
Humanitarian Aid Division, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs
(MFA). Van Koldam confirmed that Dutch assistance to date
totaled 4.8 million euros committed and pledged.
2. (C) Van Koldam said that the Dutch were considering
additional commitments, and that the delegation would likely
pledge an additional 2 million euros -- to be channeled
through UNICEF and the WFP -- at the conference in Stockholm.
She added that the Dutch "may" provide up to an additional 4
million euros for the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS). She
asked that this information be considered "close-hold" and
asked that it not be shared outside the USG.
3. (SBU) Van Koldam said represenatives from the MFA's Middle
East Department would attend the conference in Stockholm.
Econoff requested additional details. Post will report any
