1. Charge d'Affaires, a.i. Richard Pruett demarched the
Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Department of Foreign
Affairs on the subject of reftels. In the absence of higher
interlocutors he spoke with Henry Shrew, Deputy Assistant
Secretary in the Bureau of American and European Affairs.

2. DAS Shrew seemed to have little background on the issue and
was noncommittal but promised to relay our position to the
highest levels of the department.


3. Comment: The FSM voting record has a high coincidence with
the United States in the United Nation. Moreover, FSM citizens
serve at high enlistment levels in the U.S. military. Because
of shared values and interests, and because the United States
carries the burden of its defense, the FSM generally follows the
U.S. lead on issues related to international security.
