(U) MFA DVBR officer Alexander Deyneko told us September 12
that Russia would support the U.S. version of the letter from
the UNSCR 1540 Committee requesting permission to make public
the matrices identifying gaps in individual member states'
fulfillment of their UNSCR 1540 obligations. He said
instructions to support the U.S. version had been forwarded
to the Russian mission in New York.
