2. Re urtel 1086.1 Inform Foreign Office in confidence US will vote for Zafrulla for Rau vacancy but cannot support him for one of five regular seats being vacated by judges from UK France Chile Brazil and El Salvador. Also state that soon as list nominations for Rau vacancy circulated by UN Secretary General, probably within few days, Department prepared inform others when asked that we intend vote for Zafrulla for this vacancy but we believe burden of campaign must be borne by Pakistan. Zafrulla already informed along these lines.
FYI Re paragraph 2 Deptel 983 Edmonds elected to ILC so this no longer presents problem re Zafrulla candidacy.
