(S) ESTHOFF passed reftel points January 12 to MFA Deputy
Director General for Disarmament Affairs Ignacio Sanchez,
urging Spain to use all available export control authorities
to prevent Iran from procuring from Spanish firms two types
of specialty steel that could be used in efforts to construct
a new Medium Range Ballistic Missile. Sanchez said he would
pass our information to the appropriate Spanish export
control agencies at the next meeting of the Spanish
inter-ministeral export control working group (which will
next meet either January 18 or 19).
