1. We discussed reftel candidacy of Steve Carr for the ICRC
Standing Committee with Harry Purwanto, Director for North
American Affairs at the Indonesian Department of Foreign

candidacy and provided a nonpaper with relevant information.
Purwanto said he was not aware that Indonesia had taken a
position yet on any Standing Committee candidacies but would
convey the U.S. request to appropriate offices and agencies
in the Indonesian government for consideration.
