(SBU) Poloff delivered reftel demarche on November 8 to Ihab
Soliman, MFA Office of International Organizations, who
promised to promptly discuss the request with Egyptian
officials in London. Soliman was confident that Egypt would
be able to support U.S. candidacy, given that U.S. candidacy
is essentially uncontested because only the incumbent
candidates in category "A" were seeking re-election.
