1. (C) POLOFF on November 25 formally delivered REF demarche
on the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT)
to Carlos Torres, Counselor for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and
Disarmament within the MFA's DG for Strategic Affairs and
Terrorism. Dr. Eliot Kang, DAS for Nuclear Nonproliferation
Policy and Negotiations, had briefly mentioned the Reftel
demarche to Torres' supervisor during a November 18 bilateral
meeting at the MFA. Torres replied that if the revised Terms
of Reference might involve the creation of a kind of Steering
Committee with a more central role for partner nations other
than the USG and Russia, then Madrid would be interested in
being included. Although informed that the revised Terms of
Reference document has not been finalized, he requested any
kind of documentation that could be shared with Spain on this
subject to build the case within the MFA and the GOS.


2. (U) DAS Kang has cleared this cable.
