2. (S) The Arab Parliamentary Union is scheduled to meet in
Erbil, Iraq, on March 11-13. During the Secretary's January
15 visit, ISCI CoR bloc leader Hummam Hammoudi asked for the
USG's assistance in persuading the governments of Jordan,
Egypt and Saudi Arabia to allow delegations from each country
to attend. (Hammoudi claims that the parliaments are willing
to send delegations, but that their respective governments
are skittish about the optics of participating.) ACTION

instructions to Embassy Amman, Cairo and Riyadh encouraging
their respective host governments to send delegations to the
Erbil meeting.
