REF: STATE 70829
Charge d'Affaires George Colvin delivered reftel demarche on
July 3, 2008, to Terry Toomata, Acting CEO of the Ministry of
Public Affairs and Trade of the Government of Samoa. Toomata
received the message favorably and said that he did not expect
any problem in Samoa's joining with the United States in
sponsoring the event. He asked what Samoa would have to do to
join in cosponsorship, and Charge said that affirming a
cosponsorship to the Embassy would be sufficient as a first
step. (Embassy would appreciate guidance if any further action
is required.) Toomata said he would confirm Samoa's position
and respond to the message.
