All,
As you've likely heard by now, the Agency is mounting a surge
particularly directed at the UN Security Council (UNSC) members (minus US
and GBR of course) for insights as to how to membership is reacting to
the on-going debate RE: Iraq, plans to vote on any related resolutions,
what related policies/ negotiating positions they may be considering,
alliances/ dependencies, etc - the whole gamut of information that could
give US policymakers an edge in obtaining results favorable to US goals
or to head off surprises. In RT, that means a QRC surge effort to revive/
create efforts against UNSC members Angola, Cameroon, Chile, Bulgaria and
Guinea, as well as extra focus on Pakistan UN matters.
We've also asked ALL RT topi's to emphasize and make sure they pay
attention to existing non-UNSC member UN-related and domestic comms for
anything useful related to the UNSC deliberations/ debates/ votes. We
have a lot of special UN-related diplomatic coverage (various UN
delegations) from countries not sitting on the UNSC right now that could
contribute related perspectives/ insights/ whatever. We recognize that we
can't afford to ignore this possible source.
We'd appreciate your support in getting the word to your analysts who
might have similar, more in-direct access to valuable information from
accesses in your product lines. I suspect that you'll be hearing more
along these lines in formal channels - especially as this effort will
probably peak (at least for this specific focus) in the middle of next
week, following the SecState's presentation to the UNSC.
Thanks for your help
