(SBU) Post submitted Ref diplomatic note to the Government of
Kazakhstan on August 17, and Poloff delivered Ref demarche to the
MFA Department of International Organizations and Security Issues on
August 22. Almabek Demessinov, the head of the United Nations

ultimately support the candidacy of Felice Gaer for the Committee
against Torture, but the MFA had not fully considered the issue yet,
and was not prepared to make a commitment at this time.
