Ministry of Foreign Affairs Department of the Americas on

working its way through the local legal system and cautioned
against any attempts at political interference. In fact,

back-fire and would not/not be helpful to Mr. Weiss. Econoff
reiterated USG position per reftel that we expect any

and expeditious manner, in accordance with due process of

continue to monitor the case.
