The meeting will also be attended by Tamrad Samuel, special envoy of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, according to Florentino Sarmento, the commission's official spokesman. "Since the establishment of the KPS on April 21, 1999, the Falintil has never appointed a representative to sit in the commission. Only the East Timor National Resistance Council (CNRT) has two representatives in the KPS. They are Leandro Isaak and David Dias Ximenes. The latter, however, has never been prepared to attend KPS meetings," Sarmento said. The schedule of preparations for the Aug 8 ballot was very tight and a serious discussion on the disarmament issue with the CNRT top leader Xanana Gusmao was necessary to help ensure the success of the ballot, Sarmento said. "If disarmament is only applied to the prointegration militia, there will be an unfavorable situation for the entire process involving the ballot, in the runup to the ballot, during the ballot itself and thereafter," he said. The main points of the meeting's agenda would thus be disarmament, Falintil representation in the KPS and efforts to put and end to hostilities among East Timorese themselves, he said. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 21 Jun 1999 jam 12:42:07 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
