1. (S) Ambassador briefed MinState Al Sha'ali on the
contents of the National Intelligence Estimate non-paper on
December 3 evening. He promised to share this inforamtion
with Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed, who is in Doha.


2. (S) On December 4, DCM reviewed talking points with MFA
Director of Organizations and International Conferences Yacub
al Hosani. Al Hosani appreciated receiving the non-paper
and conveyed his conviction that Iran typically operates in a
duplicitous manner regarding its nuclear program and other
issues, maintaining one position publicly while secretly
pursuing another course of action.


3. (S) Ambassador also met with Yousef al Otaiba, Director
of International Affairs for the Crown Prince's Office in Abu
Dhabi, on December 4 and passed a copy of the non-paper.
