prenotification of the USG's intention to designate Jama'at

Dutch MFA's Department of External Policy.  Econoff also 
delivered ref A points the same day to Margreet Wenting, 
Senior Policy Advisor in the Department of Financial

Netherlands.  Post will forward any substantive responses 
received.  On October 5, Econoff conveyed to Dorhout and 
Wenting the message in ref B on the anticipated delay in 
designating JTJ.
