US embassy cable - 05PARIS4457

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.

Mission would like guidance on the following two questions: 
 
a. Should the United States present its candidacy for the 
group I seat as Executive Board vice chair? 
 
b.  Should the United States respond to a request from the 
Chair of the Executive Board requesting letters of 
nomination for the Director General position?  This would be 
the opportunity for the USG to officially go on the record 
with its support of DG Matsuura.  Any letter must be 
submitted by late July.
