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.

CLASSIFIED BY CHARGE D'AFFAIRES EARL M. IRVING FOR
REASONS: 1.5 (B) AND (D).
1. (C) ON FEBRUARY 28, POLOFF CONVEYED REFTEL TALKING
POINTS TO MAXWELL CHIKOROWONDO, THE ZIMBABWEAN MFA'S
PRINCIPAL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER (PAO) FOR THE DRC.
CHIKOROWONDO RESPONDED THAT THE GOZ IS FULLY COMMITTED
TO THE JOINT MILITARY COMMISSION (JMC) AND THE IDEA OF
RELOCATING ITS HEADQUARTERS TO KINSHASA, AND THINKS IT
SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED "YESTERDAY." THE PAO STATED THAT
RWANDA, UGANDA AND THEIR REBEL ALLIES WERE THE ONLY
OBSTACLES TO MOVING THE JMC. THEIR COMPLAINTS ABOUT
INADEQUATE SECURITY ARE UNJUSTIFIED BECAUSE THEY ALREADY
HAVE JUNIOR REGIONAL JMC REPRESENTATIVES STATIONED IN
THE COUNTRYSIDE, WHICH IS MUCH MORE INSECURE THAN
KINSHASA, CHIKOROWONDO ARGUED.
2. (C) CHIKOROWONDO ASKED IF THE U.S. WILL SUPPLY NEW
FUNDING TO THE JMC, TO WHICH POLOFF RESPONDED THAT
BEFORE THE USG CAN SUPPLY MORE FUNDS, FISCAL CONTROLS
FOR ACCOUNTABILITY MUST BE IN PLACE. THE MFA OFFICIAL
STATED HE BELIEVED JMC HEAD GENERAL MWANIKI WAS WORKING
ON A PLAN TO TRACK AND CONTROL JMC REPRESENTATIVES'
EXPENDITURES. THE GOZ IS ENCOURAGED BY THE NEW MOMENTUM
IN THE PEACE PROCESS, CHIKOROWONDO STATED. HE SAID A
JMC MEETING IN LUSAKA ON FEBRUARY 27 PROBABLY GAVE NEW
IMPETUS TO RESOLVING THE JMC'S PROBLEMS.
