1. (U) This message is sensitive but unclassified. Please
protect accordingly.
2. (SBU) In response to reftel, the Department provides USUN
the following guidance to respond to Honduran PermRep Reina
Idiaquez's recent inquiry regarding Honduran President
Zelaya's upcoming travel to New York. Reina had requested
that the United States "host" Zelaya during participation in
the 64th UN General Assembly (UNGA). USUN may draw from the
following points in conveying a response:
-- The United States remains committed to restoring democracy
in Honduras with President Zelaya's return as President to
finish out his term.
-- We firmly believe that a negotiated solution is the
appropriate way forward and support Costa Rican President
Oscar Arrias' proposed San Jose Accord for resolving this
crisis. We have urged President Zelaya and the de facto
regime to sign the Accord promptly.
-- While the United States views President Zelaya as the
rightful President of Honduras, it is unable to host his
visit to New York for the UN General Assembly.
-- Because of the unique role of the United States as UN host
country, it would not be appropriate for the U.S. to cover
the costs of some UN Member State delegations visiting the UN
and not others.
3. (SBU) The Secretary met President Zelaya on September 3 in
Washington. Given the many demands on the Secretary's
limited time at UNGA, the Department does not think having
her host a lunch in honor of Zelaya would be appopriate.
