1. (C) Poloff attempted to persuade Moroccan Ministry of
Foreign Affairs Head of the United Nations Division Azzedine
Farhane to support Afghanistan as the candidate of choice to
fill the vacancy in the IAEA Board of Governors. Farhane
stated that Morocco has not yet taken an official position on
whom it will support.


2. (C) Farhane said that Morocco's position will depend upon
upcoming discussions at the UNGA and in Vienna. He agreed to
forward U.S. concerns to his superiors, discuss the issue
with the Moroccan Ambassador in Vienna, and provide any
feedback received.
