(C) In response to Ref A, poloff followed up September 28 on 
our previous demarche (Ref B) on the Committee Against 
Torture election with MFA UN Affairs Desk Officer Gabriela 
Biondi. Biondi proposed a vote trade, and followed up 
October 3 with a diplomatic note requesting U.S. support for 
Renata Archivi, Italy's candidate for the UN Advisory 
Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions. Poloff 
reminded Biondi of the long-standing U.S. policy against 
trading votes, but thanked her for the information on Italy's 
ACABQ candidate.
