Viewing cable 07MADRID1756, SPAIN WOULD LIKE MORE INFO ON STANDING COMMISSION

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: SPAIN WOULD LIKE MORE INFO ON STANDING COMMISSION 
CANDIDATE 
 
REF: STATE 102873 
 
Poloff spoke with Spanish Ambassador for Humanitarian Affairs 
Maria Bassols on September 10 regarding the candidacy of 
Steve Carr for the Standing Commission of the International 
Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.  Bassols said that she 
was familiar with Carr's candidacy and was impressed by his 
credentials, but she said that Spain had not yet made a 
decision regarding its support.  She expressed surprise that 
more candidates had not yet emerged for the position. 
Bassols asked Poloff whether Mr. Carr had issued or planned 
to issue a paper on his views of the future of the 
International Red Cross, and Poloff promised to seek more 
information and follow up.
