1.  On June 30, Poloff delivered reftel points by telephone 
and fax to Angella Brown, Deputy Director, International 
Organizations Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 
Foreign Trade (MFAFT).  On August 1, Poloff called Brown for 
a response.  Brown thanked Poloff for providing the USG 
position on UN Security Council reform, information which she 
had explicitly requested at a previous meeting on May 6. 
Brown added that the timing of the U.S. message was good, 
because the GOJ had now received position papers from 
"everyone," including China and the G-4 countries, whose 
ambassadors had met earlier in the day with Foreign Minister 
K.D. Knight.  Brown said that the points had been used to 
prepare the delegation traveling to St. Lucia on July 3, and 
that the delegation would be briefed over the weekend. 
 
2.  Brown added that Post would receive a readout of the July 
3-6 CARICOM Heads of Government conference when Minister 
Knight meets with Charge.  MFAFT informed Charge on July 5 
that FM Knight had agreed to see him on July 7.
