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.

TAGS: PREL, PGOV, PARM, KU, KLEG
SUBJECT: ARTICLE 98 UPDATE
REF: A. STATE 268185
B. KUWAIT 4199
Classified By: Ambassador Richard LeBaron for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d)
1. (S) Ambassador LeBaron raised on December 18 the status of
the Article 98 Agreement with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Shaykh
Dr. Mohammed Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, noting that Bahrain is
re-examining the idea of finalizing the Agreement through an
exchange of notes. The Ambassador suggested that Kuwait
might also want to take another look at this method (ref A).
The FM said the GOK lawyers had determined that the Agreement
required National Assembly approval. He declared the
Assembly would ratify the Agreement and added that he
"doesn't expect it to be a problem."
2. (S) In a December 20 conversation, an assistant to
National Assembly Committee on Foreign Affairs Chairman MP
Mohammed Jassem Al-Sager informed Pol Chief the committee
would discuss the Article 98 agreement on Wednesday, December
22. He anticipated the committee would approve the Agreement
and send it to the floor for consideration by the full
Parliament. He added that while Parliament could decide on
the Agreement as early as January 4, because of January
holidays and MP travel plans, it is more like that the full
Assembly would not consider the Agreement until February 2.
