SUBJECT: POST DOES NOT HAVE FUNDING FOR ICELANDIC WIREC DELEGATION

REF: STATE 5963

In response to reftel request regarding post funding for Icelandic
delegation to attend the Washington International Renewable Energy
Conference (WIREC), post has determined that no funding is available
for this purpose. Icelandic delegations have previously been able
to cover their own expenses and we believe that funding is not an
obstacle to Icelandic representation at WIREC.
