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.

David Hale, for reasons 1.4 b and d 1. ( C ) Charge July 21 urged Foreign Minister Qasrawi not to support the G-4 UNSC expansion proposal.

He said this meant that, barring an unexpected change in Japanese strategy, Jordan would support the expansion proposal if it comes to a vote. Charge reiterated post's earlier demarches setting out the U.S.'s strong opposition to the proposal, pointed out that a Jordanian vote for it would be noted in Washington, and urged that the Jordanian government reconsider. 2. ( C ) Comment: The Jordanian government is in the midst of a fiscal crisis, and is seeking forgiveness of most of its $1.6 billion official debt to Japan. HALE
