Timerman has been designated the GoA Sherpa for the upcoming
November 14-15 G-20 Financial Crisis Summit in Washington.
¶2. (U) While no Sous-Sherpa has yet been named, Embassy of
Argentina Washington DCM Perez Gabilondo confirmed to

Summit logistics and Minister Gustavo Torres will cover
press. DCM Gabilondo is eager to receive early information
on the Summit declaration drafting/clearance process.
