1. This is an action request. See paras 3 and 4.


2. The Iranian Foreign Ministry requested assistance to
facilitate a G-2 visa for Alireza Salari Sharifabadi to
attend the Conference on the World Financial and Economic
Crisis and Its Impact on Development at UN Headquarters in
New York.

3. USUN should advise IMUN that a visa cannot be issued to
Salari-Sharifabadi. If the IMUN asks why, they should be
advised that there is clear and convincing evidence of grave
security concerns which would make the presence of
Sharifabadi in the United States intolerable.


4. USUN may also wish to convey the same information to the
UN Legal Advisor's Office.
