1. (C) POLOFF outlined reftel objectives for the April 13
meeting of the Border Security Working Group (BSWG) in
Damascus with Nawaf Tell, the MFA's Negotiations Bureau
Director. According to Tell, the GOJ delegation will be
headed by Ministry of Interior Secretary General Mukhaimer
Abu Jammous and the Public Security Directorate's (Jordan's
national police) Director of Preventive Security Muntassar
Nuweissi. Tell expressed appreciation for sharing the
objectives in advance of the meeting, remarked that they
sounded similar to previous BSWG statements, and said he did
not sense anything among U.S. objectives which the GOJ would
have difficulty supporting.
2. (C) The GOJ statement at the working group (which Tell
drafted) will reiterate the GOJ's commitment to combating
terrorism and upholding previously announced BSWG measures;
state that there can be no compromise with terrorism; welcome
security improvements in Iraq; and encourage Iraqi national
reconciliation. Tell also said the MFA hopes for, but does
not expect, better cooperation between the Iraqi, Iranian and
Syrian delegations. He noted that the organizers recently
added an extra day to the program, which he suspected would
be needed for those delegations to work out their differences.
