1. (SBU) On August 17, Rudra Nepal, Under Secretary for UN
and International Organizations at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, told Emboff that his government would wait until
"closer to the election" on September 17 for the UNESCO
Director General before deciding on a candidate. Emboff
conveyed the U.S. preferences for candidates as per reftel
request. The Under Secretary was amused that the United
States lobbied on the behalf of five out of the nine
candidates.
