US embassy cable - 03KUWAIT614

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.

1.  (C) MFA MinState Dr. Mohammed al-Sabah told Ambassador 
February 19 that he had recently informed Jordanian Foreign 
Minister Marwan al-Muasher that Kuwait is prepared to provide 
Jordan up to 20,000 bpd of oil in the event that war cuts off 
Iraqi oil to Jordan.  He understands the UAE will provide the 
same amount.  Muasher told him that Saudi Arabia will provide 
50,000 bpd on terms not specified.  Dr. Mohammed indicated 
Kuwait's oil would be provided at a "substantial discount," 
but not free.
