Classified By: AMBASSADOR EDUARDO AGUIRRE FOR REASONS 1.4 (B), (C) & (D

)

1. (S//NF) Ambassador raised reftel demarche during a

November 17 meeting with Spanish FM Moratinos. (Note: Other

meeting topics are covered septel. End Note.) Moratinos

stated he was completely unaware of any such deal, but noted

that Iberia was a private commercial enterprise with no

government interest. He and the Ambassador then went through

the reftel talking points carefully. The Ambassador stated

that this was potentially very serious for Iberia and that he

intended to raise the issue with Iberia senior management.

Moratinos acknowledged the potential seriousness of the

issue, but asked the Ambassador to let him (Moratinos) look

into the matter first. The Ambassador said he would welcome

any information Moratinos obtained and that he would wait to

hear from Moratinos before contacting Iberia directly.

Fernandez de la Vega at a scheduled lunch on November 20.

Post will report further as we have more information.
