REF: SECSTATE 146857

Per reftel request, Poloff delivered talking points and Mr.
Walker's biographic information to Alexander Nalbandov,
Director of the International Organizations Department at the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Nalbandov said that Georgia
would likely support the U.S. candidate for the seat on the
UN's Independent Audit Advisory Committee (IAAC), but he
would first have to consult with the Georgian Mission in New
York to ensure that Georgia had not already pledged support
for either the Swiss or Spanish candidates before endorsing
Mr. Walker.
