The Honorable Elizabeth Schick 
Consul General
Australian Consulate General, Chicago 

Dear Consul General Schick,

On behalf of the American Jewish Committee, we write to thank you for Australia’s continued support of democratic principles in the United Nations and staunch support for the state of Israel.  Thank you once again for your actions implementing new restrictions against Iranian banks Melli and Saderat and individuals involved in Iran's nuclear program. 

We look forward to working with you and your colleagues at the United Nations and around the world.   We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss this and many other issues of mutual concern.

 Respectfully,

 s/

Daniel Elbaum, Director
