1. (SBU) DCM delivered points per reftel on the President's
speech on detainees to Monsignor Pietro Parolin, the Holy See's
deputy foreign minister, on September 8. DCM highlighted key
points verbally and left copies of those points and supporting
materials for Parolin's further reference. Parolin was broadly
familiar with the themes of the President's speech but asked to
be able to review the material further. He said he would be
interested to see the reaction to the speech in Europe and
elsewhere.



2. (SBU) Given the Holy See's deliberate approach to issues, we
will probably hear some feedback about this eventually, but not
in the next few days.
