SUBJECT: POLAND PROBABLY NOT IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE AMMO
TO LEBANON
REF: STATE 93173
Classified By: Acting PolCouns David T. Morris for reasons 1.4(b) and (
d).
(C) Post forwarded reftel request for ammunition to the
Polish MOD and to the MFA Departments for Security Plicy and
Middle East Africa. However, according to DAO analysis
Poland lacks the requested 155mm ammunition and holds only
very limited quantities of the requested 105mm ammunition.
We therefore do not expect Poland will be able to assist in
this case.
