(U) Following up on reftel A & B points on Burma, POLOFF 
contacted Dutch MFA Burma desk officer Maaike van der Werf to 
share related statements on Burma by President Bush. After 
the April 29 EU GAERC conclusions on Burma, and the May 
cyclone disaster, Dutch Development Minister announced one 
million euros in disaster aid to Burma. During a May 6 
television interview, FM Verhagen stated that the Burmese 
authorities' refusal to admit aid organizations is 
"scandalous." He further indicated that the Dutch cabinet is 
putting as much pressure as possible on the regime to allow 
foreign aid workers in.
