SUBJECT: KAZAKHSTAN: DEMARCHE DELIVERED ON CANDIDACY OF DAVID WALKER 
FOR UN INDEPENDENT AUDIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE 
 
REF: (A) State 146857, (B)State 149678 
 
Poloff delivered reftel demarches and talking points/biography to 
Amanbek Demesinov, director of the international organizations 
section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on October 30. Demesinov 
was unaware of the forthcoming election for the Independent Audit 
Advisory Committee, though he thought it was logical that the United 
States government should have a representative on the committee, 
given our significant financial contributions to the United Nations. 
 Nonetheless, he was unable to offer any commitment on behalf of the 
Government of Kazakhstan.  He reported that he would consult with 
the Kazakhstani delegation in New York on the issue.
