1. (SBU) Jamal Shamayleh, Director of Foreign Minister
Bashir's private office, told Polcouns June 3 that Bashir has
endorsed Jordan's joining the Global Initiative to Combat
Nuclear Terrorism (reftels). The MFA is seeking a final,
seemingly pro-forma approval from the Prime Ministry, which
it hopes to obtain this week.


2. (SBU) Based on this decision, Jordan intends to attend the
June 16-18 meeting in Madrid. The Jordanian delegation will
be led by the Jordanian Ambassador to Spain, and may also
include a technical expert from the Jordanian Nuclear Energy
Commission.
