2. Purwanto said he would need to study the text of the
resolution before being able to comment on its substance, but
noted that the creation of a peacekeeping force would give
Indonesia an opportunity to contribute the battalion-sized
force it had been preparing since announcing this intention
on July 21. (Note: Previously the size of the force was
around 700 persons. In a conversation with us last week,
Indonesian MOD Juwono Sudarsono put the size of the projected
force at 850 persons.)
