1. (SBU) On February 8 we conveyed Ref A request to
Alejandro Solano-Ortiz, the Alternate Director General of the
Foreign Policy Office of the MFA.


2. (SBU) After reviewing the request with FM Stagno,
Solano-Ortiz informed us that Costa Rica did not have the
facilities nor the resources to honoQsuch commiQent.


3. (SBU) COMMENT: Although Solano was willing to listen to
us, the GOCR's negative response was expected. The GOCR also
declined our last request for possible medevac assistance
from Guantanamo (Ref b).
