On February 1, E/P Chief conveyed reftel points to Deputy
Director for Multilateral Affairs Gansukh. Gansukh expressed
appreciation for the U.S. interest in Mongolia as a
candidate, but said that Mongolia had decided some time ago
not to run for a seat. Asked if Mongolia might reconsider
its position, Gansukh responded that this is unlikely.

decision not to run, and will report any developments.
