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.

C O N F I D E N T I A L WELLINGTON 000527 SIPDIS FOR NP AND EAP/ANP E.O. 12958: DECL: 07/07/2015 TAGS: PARM, PREL, PGOV, MNUC, EFIN, ETTC SUBJECT: WMD PROLIFERATORS' E.O. REF: SECSTATE 120771 Classified By: POLITICAL ECONOMIC COUNSELOR KATHERINE HADDA, FOR REASONS 1.4 (B) and (D) 1. (C) Pol/Econ Couns shared reftel information with Deborah Panckhurst, Deputy Director of the Disarmament Division at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, stressing our desire that New Zealand adopt a similar policy. Panckhurst promised to review the E.O. closely and said that she would take our request on board. 2. (C) Panckhurst noted, however, that as New Zealand approaches general elections (expected to be called for mid-September) government bureaucrats are resisting putting forward any new initiatives for Ministers' consideration. This is standard practice in New Zealand, and is designed to prevent a Government close to the end of its term from putting forward new legislation or policies that an incoming Government might not favor.
