US embassy cable - 03AMMAN7293

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (U)  On November 5, Consul and Political Counselor met 
with Mr. Ali al-Ayed, Director of Foreign Minister Muasher's 
Private Office, and Basheer al-Zoubi, MFA Private Office 
action officer on Iraq, to present Ref A talking points and 
non-paper on Iraqi Interim Travel Documents (ITD).  Both 
officials affirmed that Jordan is already accepting the ITD 
as a valid travel document. 
 
2. (U)  Emboffs also inquired if the Government of Jordan 
(GOJ) had reached a decision on recognition of new Iraqi 
diplomatic and official passports (refs B, C).  Mr. al-Ayed 
responded that while the GOJ has been permitting persons 
bearing these passports to enter or transit Jordan on a case- 
by-case basis, the GOJ had not reached a final decision 
affirming blanket recognition per the USG request.
