Polchief conveyed reftel points to Oussama Khacchab, Americas
desk officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Khacchab,
whose duties lately have included regional security issues,
reported that the GOL would not send representatives to the
March 10 Prepcon. He confirmed though that the GOL supports
USG and regional participation in the conference. The GOL
views the conference as a positive step that has the
potential to build confidence and communication among parties
in a position to help solve other regional issues, including
Lebanon's political crisis.
