SUBSTANTIVE REACTION

REF: A. STATE 151189

B. STATE 150777

1. (U) Post shared refs A and B points September 13 with
new MFA Deputy Chief for CFSP Emmanuel Cohet, Lebanon points
with desk officer for Lebanon Remy Bouallegue,
Israel-Palestinian points with DAS-equivalent Herve
Besancenot, Iraq points with desk officer for Iraq Bernard
Chappedelaine, and Iran points with Political Director
Laboulaye's office and FM Douste-Blazy's Cabinet.

2. (SBU) Our contacts uniformly welcomed the points, which
they said were useful and would be studied with great
interest. They told us September 14 that were not in a
position to offer substantive comments, however, given the
press of business in preparing for the meetings that would
commence that same day.
