SUBJECT: UN SANCTIONS: DEMARCHE ON JORDANIAN REQUEST TO ADD 
TO 1267 COMMITTEE LIST 
 
REF: A. BERRY/SUTPHIN E-MAILS 
     B. SECSTATE 149439 
 
Classified By: PolCouns Doug Silliman for reasons 1.5 (B) and (D) 
 
1.  (C)  Following up on earlier Embassy approaches to the 
GOJ (ref a), PolCouns on August 6 covered ref b points on 
Jordan's request to add 9 names to the 1267 Committee List 
with Ali al-Ayed, Personal Assistant to Foreign Minister 
Muasher.  PolCouns explained that the USG would like Jordan 
to submit additional identifying information for each 
individual on the list, as well as a summary of the reasons 
why the GOJ believes they are members of al-Qaeda.  He asked 
that the Jordanian Mission ask that the 1267 Committee not 
circulate the current list, then re-submit a more complete 
list to the 1267 Committee after consulting with the USG. 
 
2.  (C)  Ayed took the points and promised to pass them on to 
the Jordanian Mission in New York.  He also agreed that 
informal GOJ-USG consultation on the appropriate information 
to add to the 1267 request was a good idea. 
 
3.  (C)  COMMENT:  Post greatly appreciates the background 
information provided in ref b.
