for
reasons 1.4 (B) and (D).

1. (C) Pol Counselor delivered reftel demarche points to
Foreign Ministry UN Division Chief Glivania de Oliveira late
on 5 April. Pol Counselor emphasized that the authorities
outlined in OP3 of the French draft resolution are seen by
the USG and others as necessary for an effective
investigation and are not intended to impinge upon Lebanese
sovereignty. Indeed, Pol Counselor stressed a successful
investigation would reinforce Lebanese sovereignty.

that the GOB continues to support quick establishment and
deployment of an investigation commission. She indicated
that she would pass demarche points immediately to the
Brazilian delegation in New York. She had, however, no
further substantive reactions to offer.
