(SBU) In response to reftel demarche, the Finnish MFA
informed PolChief July 20 that it had forwarded to the
Ministry of Defense our request for assistance to help fund
the purchase of fully armored vehicles (FAVs) for the MFO.
MFA officials did not expect a response before mid- or
late-August, but indicated that the GOF was receptive to our
request and would see what it could do. We welcomed the fact
that Finland is considering support for this request, and
will follow up in early August.
