REF: STATE 18280
Poloff presented reftel to Georg Diwald, MFA Deputy Director
for International Organizations, on February 24 and followed
up on February 27. Diwald told Poloff Austria was inclined
to support a U.S. candidate, though they were disappointed
the other candidate had withdrawn. However, Diwald felt that
a U.S. representation on the Appeals Tribunal was important,
and said he would consult with Austria's UN delegation on the
vote.
