1. On November 4, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Director
General of the Americas Desk Bika Bisso told poloff that
Gabon may decide to abstain from voting on the Goldstone
Report. Bika Bisso said that he could not give a definitive
answer, but that Gabon had abstained in the past on similar
measures and that Gabon does not have the same "anti-Israel
agenda" other members of the Organization of the Islamic
Conference hold. Poloff urged Bika Bisso to express the
U.S.'s desire for at least an abstention to the rest of the
Gabonese Government.
