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.

SUBJECT: ROYG APPROACHED TO FREEZE IRAQI ASSETS
REF: A. STATE 75235
B. STATE 74249
During 3/24 meeting with Abdul-Salam Al-Awadi, Chief of MFA's
Americas Office, DCM solicited ROYG cooperation in
identifying, freezing, and ultimately transferring Iraqi
government funds for the benefit of the people of Iraq (ref
B). Awadi took note of the request and indicated he would
refer it to decision-making levels of the ROYG. He asked for
clarification on whether this action would affect Iraqi
government accounts, Iraqi civilian accounts, or both. DCM
reiterated that our request pertained solely to Iraqi
government accounts. Awadi had no information on the
accuracy of reftel's cited figure for Iraqi assets in Yemen
($23.45 million) per 6/91 declaration to the UN.
