(C) ESTHOFF passed reftel points March 2 to MFA Disarmament
Affairs Deputy Director General Ignacio Sanchez, urging Spain
to instruct its representative at the March Oslo MTCR
Technical Experts Meeting (TEM) to support the revised U.S.
UAV/Cruise Missile proposal. Sanchez told ESTHOFF that at a
recent meeting in Brussels, the EU's Nonproliferation
Committee (CONOP) had agreed to support the revised U.S.
UAV/Cruise Missile proposal. As a result, the Spanish
representative at the Oslo TEM (mostly likely Ambassador
Manuel Viturro de la Torre),will be instructed to support
the U.S. proposal.
