1. (C) PolOff delivered Ref A points to MFA Multilateral
Affairs Director General Lourdes Puma on April 6. Puma said
that the GOE had its own candidate, Ambassador Luis Moreno,
for another OAS body, the Juridical Committee and that the
GOE was seeking an exchange of votes. There are four
candidates for the Juridical Committee -- Ecuador, El
Salvador, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela -- and only
three seats available. Puma stated that the GOE,s priority
is to support those who support the GOE. PolOff responded
that USG practice is not to trade votes, but would transmit
the information regarding the GOE's candidate.
2. (C) In a follow up conversation on April 13, PolOff told
Puma per Ref B that Ecuador had presented a very qualified
candidate to the Juridical Committee and that we would be
interested in discussing the merits of our respective
candidates through our Missions to the OAS. Puma responded
that she thought there was a good possibility that Ecuador
would support Shelton's candidacy.
