Classified By: POLCOUNS ROBIN QUINVILLE.  REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D). 
 
1. (C) On June 6, DepPolcouns delivered non-paper on U.S. 
thinking on a final document for the Extraordinary CFE 
Conference (refs a, b) to Chronis Polychroniou, deputy chief 
of the MFA D2 Directorate for NATO Policy and Greek HLTF 
representative.  Polychroniou -- who was departing shortly 
for Brussels -- was grateful for the non-paper, as well as 
for the demarche materials we provided last week (refs c, d). 
 He said Greece generally agreed with the U.S. position on 
dealing with Russia and the CFE at the Conference.  He said 
he and his colleagues had been trying to devise a solution to 
the current problem that would address Russian concerns but 
not compromise fundamental Alliance positions.  He said they 
were unable thus far to discover what that solution would be. 
 It was crucial, however, to "keep the CFE Treaty alive."
