Paul Bremer RE: Iranian Offer to Supply Electricity to Iraq <signed> UK Representative Representative to Iraq, Ambassador John Sawers, visited Tehran on July 30 for consultations. During the course of his discussions, Iranian MFA Director General for the Persian Gulf Sadeghi expressed an Iranian interest in helping supply Iraq with electricity. Sawers responded that if a practical proposal was put forward, the CPA might be interested in considering it. On August 10. the Iranian MFA confirmed to the United Kingdom Embassy in Tehran that Iran is ready to supply 200MW of electricity to Iraq. The British arc scheduled to mcct with Sadcghi later this week and have requested I provide instructions on how to respond. The UK believes we should accept this offer as a way to encourage responsible Iranian behavior in Iraq by giving Tehran a stake in the succcss of the Coalition's efforts. I would be interested to have your view s on these subjects. 'lassifi -(1 Bremer Administrator of ition Provision thont For reasons 1.5 (Wan
