SUBJECT: 62ND UNGA FIRST COMMITTEE: GREECE ON PROPOSED
RESOLUTION ON DE-ALERTING OF NUCLEAR FORCES
REF: STATE 140048
Classified By: Political Counselor Robin Quinville for 1.4 (b) and (d)
(C) Pol-Mil Chief raised reftel points with Photis
Bourlogiannis, the action officer at the MFA for UN First
Committee issues. His boss, MFA Counselor Dionyssios
Kyvetos, is in New York for the First Committee.
Bourlogiannis said that the Greek MFA was unaware of the
issue, but that he would convey the U.S. concern with the
proposed resolution on de-alerting of nuclear forces to
Kyvetos in New York. He also opined that Greece would likely
follow whatever lines the UK and French propose. We
recommend USUN/U.S. First Committee Delegation follow-up
directly with Kyvetos, should there be any need to consult
with the Greeks on this issue.
