reftel points related to the extension of the mandates of the
Multinational Force-Iraq (MNF-I),the Development Fund-Iraq
(DFI),and the International Advisory and Monitoring Board
with Department of Foreign Affairs (DEPLU) contacts. Pol/C
noted that the Iraqi government had concluded that it needed
the support of the current multilateral framework for an
additional year. Pol/C emphasized that the proposed text of
the draft UNSCR was straightforward. It addressed elements
of UNSCR 1723 that were due to expire on December 31,

positive relationship in the Council on Iraq. Pol/C provided
a copy of the UNSCR draft and the two letters.

discussions would begin shortly.
