SUBJECT: EGYPT: DEMARCHE DELIVERED - DISCUSSIONS OF FUEL 
BANK AT UPCOMING IAEA BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEETING 
 
REF: STATE 57598 
 
(SBU) On June 10, Poloff urged MFA Disarmament Affairs 
official Heba Negm to support a positive discussion of 
"Assurance of Supply" at the upcoming IAEA Board of Governors 
meeting (reftel).  Negm replied that Egypt is interested in 
discussions of fuel supply assurances and hopes that the 
Secretariat and other Board Members will clarify each 
proposal's technical, legal, and financial issues involved. 
Negm mentioned that the GOE is analyzing the proposals from 
Russia, Germany, the IAEA, and the Nuclear Threat Initiative 
(NTI).  Negm said that while Egypt at this time does not 
prefer one of proposal over the other, the proposals from 
Russia and the NTI were the two of the better proposals, and 
specifically noted that the Russian proposal seemed to be the 
most "realistic."  Negm also recalled Egypt's firm belief 
that any such "fuel bank" proposal must not deny the Member 
States their rights to enrichment and reprocessing.  Negm 
also believed that the G-77 countries are now starting to 
realize that a fuel bank could be in their interests, and 
therefore the G-77 may be more helpful in reaching consensus 
on this issue, assuming that their concerns are addressed.
