CITE FBIS/ATHENS 67527
TO: FBIS0 FBIS/NICOSIA, FBIS/LONDON.
1. I ISCUSSED THE PLACEMENT OF
IN NICOSIA AS A P-5 AND MUTUALLY AGREED THIS WAS APPROPRIATE.
WE THEN TALKED EXTENSIVELY WITH THE ADMIN OFFICER/ACTING DCM
ABOUT THIS ITEM AND THE SAVED RATE PROCEDURE EXPECTED TO BE
FOLLOWED AFTER THE CLASSIFICATION SURVEY. HE HAD NO OBJECTION
TO PLACEMENT IN VIEW OF THE REDUCTION IN HIS JOB
RE , AND I HAVE TOLD OHE WILL BE A P-5.
ONCE THE ADMIN OFFICER FOUND OUT THAT SAVED RATE WAS STATE'S
SYSTEM UN SCALE CONVERSION, HE NO LONGER OBJECTED TO THAT.
HAS FORWARDED A COPY OF THE CYPRIOT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE
LIVING AND IT IS NOT A BINDING EDICT ON THE EMBASSY,
AS SUSPECTED, THE EMBASSY ADOPTS THE COL INCREASES TO MAINTAIN
ITS "PROGRESSIVE EMPLOYER" STATUS.
2. THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS NOW WITH THE NICOSIA EMBASSY AND
WE CAN ACCEPT FULL COL WITH SAVED'RATE AT SURVEY TIME. HAS
D/PPPM MADE THIS PROPOSAL YET? PMCD INDICATED BEFORE I LEFT THAT
THIS WOULD BE THEIR RECOMMENDATION AND BOTH ATHENS AND NICOSIA
EMPLOYEES PRIMED ALONG THESE LINES.
3. BELIEVE, EVEN IF FINAL DECISION NOT YET REACHED, STATUS
REPORT SHOULD BE FORWARDED. AS YOU OBSERVED THE COL SITUATION
IS ON THEIR FRONT BURNER. RVW 13 NOV 009
