US embassy cable - 02AMMAN2609

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.

E.O. 12958: DECL: 05/22/2012 
TAGS: AORC, JO, UN 
SUBJECT: DEMARCHE TO JORDAN ON MCLURG CANDIDACY FOR ACABQ 
 
REF: SECSTATE 94548 
 
Classified By: PolCouns Doug Silliman for reasons 1.5 (B) and (D) 
 
1.  (C)  Ambassador covered ref points on the candidacy of 
Susan McLurg for the UN Advisory Committee for Administrative 
and Budgetary Questions (ACABQ) May 20 with Foreign Minister 
Marwan Muasher, emphasizing the importance of continued U.S. 
participation on the ACABQ to ensure Congressional support 
for payment of UN assessments.  PolCouns separately presented 
FonMin Muasher's personal assistant Ali al-Ayed with copies 
of ref talking points and Ms. McLurg's CV.  Both Muasher and 
Ayed indicated that Jordan will not make a final decision on 
its vote until much closer to the UNGA, but said McLurg is 
obviously a strong candidate for reelection.
