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.

UNCLAS COLOMBO 001172 SIPDIS SENSITIVE OFFICIAL INFORMAL FOR SA/INS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: AMGT, CE, MV, External Relations SUBJECT: OFFICIAL INFORMAL NUMBER 093 (07/14/04) Sensitive But Unclassified - protect accordingly. Contents: Colombo Plan Double Cross (SBU) We have discovered that at the Colombo Plan Consultative Committee Meeting in Teheran in June, the CCM approved the amendment which we have been arguing about for so long! Of course the US was not represented at the meeting because it was in Iran. We are sending in a separate cable on this which you should see today. The big question, of course, is what we do about it. Our cable lays out several options. We feel it would be fruitless to try to re-open this. We could make a statement at the Plan Council meeting here in Colombo next week that we feel this was a blatant abuse of procedure and that since it was done without our participation or concurrence, it cannot be seen as setting a precedent. That would help to meet one of IO's concerns. Just wanted to forewarn you since this could get IO really steamed. I was pretty steamed myself and told the Plan SecGen yesterday. LUNSTEAD
