Delga 710. In conv after SC balloting Dec 13 Jamali told member USDel Arab States possible exception Egypt had supported Greece after initial ballot. Altho we have had some difficulty in reconciling statement without voting analysis, we have no reason to assume it did not reflect the Arab position which was corroborated today by unofficial source close to Arab dels. In circumstances, we question advisability approach along lines suggested Gadel 471 but will remind Al-Jamali our mutual interest in supporting Greek candidacy. Divergent opinion allegedly developed Egyptian del today on vote for Greece. Their position this respect undecided as of this moment.
