Dear Mr. President:
I am enclosing for you the report of my trip to Mexico in
the format required by the NSC.
I went to Mexico City to participate with J. Carter Brown,
Director of our National Gallery of Art, in the opening of a
major exhibit of George Catlin's paintings at the Franz Mayer
Museum. While in Mexico I met with Foreign Minister Fernando
Solana Morales and Minister of Education Manuel Bartlett Diaz
and discussed ways of enhancing educational and cultural
exchanges.
Very sincerely,

REPORT ON DIRECTOR GELB'S TRIP TO MEXICO CITY
MAY 28-30, 1989
The Director's principal objectives on his May 28-30 trip to
Mexico City were to:
(a) Demonstrate USIA's interest in U.S. cultural and
educational relations with Mexico; and
(b) Encourage the development of a more cooperative
relationship between USIA and the National Gallery of
Art in making U.S. art exhibits available to
audiences abroad.
MEXICO CITY, (May 28-30, 1989)
Director Gelb's visit to Mexico served both as an orientation
to USIS activities in Mexico and an opportunity to further the
cooperative relationship between the National Gallery of Art
and USIA. On Monday, May 29, the Director met with Foreign
Minister Fernando Solana Morales and Minister of Education
Manuel Bartlett Diaz. Both meetings focused on ways in which
the U.S. and Mexico can cooperate to improve bilateral
understanding. Both Solana and Bartlett expressed their
willingness to work with USIA in furthering educational and
cultural exchanges that will enhance such understanding on both
sides of the border.
On the same day, at a luncheon hosted by Charge D'Affairs Roger
Gamble, the Director met representatives from Mexico's media
and cultural community. Among the topics discussed was the
USIA's role in the formulation and carrying out of public
diplomacy. The discussion then turned to the manner in which
Mexican and U.S. media portray their neighboring nations and
the participants discussed ways in which media distortions can
be avoided. A Mexican intellectual's suggestion of reviving a
project to examine mutually elementary and secondary history
textbooks, with an eye to eliminating distortions and
misperceptions, will be pursued.
During the whirlwind Monday schedule, the Director toured the
Museum of Anthropology, participated in a Memorial Day ceremony
at the U.S. National Cemetery in Mexico City and visited the
Benjamin Franklin Library, the largest in the USIA system. The
highlight of the Director's visit was the opening of the George
Catlin Exhibition Monday night, May 29.

Co-sponsored by USIA and the National Gallery of Art, the show
of Catlin's South American works also will travel from Mexico
to Buenos Aires and Santiago. The exhibit was formally opened
by the Director, National Gallery Director Brown, Charge
D' 'Affairs Gamble, Franz Mayer Museum Director Sisto and Franz
Mayer Museum Board Chairman Rogerio Casas Alatriste. More than
200 attended the opening; and the speakers' remarks focused on
the benefits of bilateral cultural endeavors. National Gallery
Director Brown told the assembled guests that he was especially
pleased to be working with USIA, since the Gallery, like the
Agency, is part of the U.S. Government. He pledged to work
|
with USIA on future art exhibitions.

SUBJECT:
Request for Presidential Proclamation to
Commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Panama
Canal
Fred McClure has sent you a memorandum asking for your guidance
on whether the President should issue a proclamation
commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Panama Canal (Tab II).
The proclamation was not approved by the Congress, but
Congressman Jack Fields called McClure to see what can be done.
Jim Cicconi's memorandum to McClure at Tab III advises against
going forward with this, noting that the President does not
normally issue proclamations without prior congressional approval
unless he has a personal interest or there is a compelling
national interest.
Although the text itself (Tab IV) is acceptable, we do not
believe there is a compelling national interest in issuing it
without congressional action.
Concurrence by: Virgin Lampley.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you sign the memorandum to Fred McClure at Tab I indicating
that you do not approve issuing a presidential proclamation.

Presidential Proclamation on Panama Canal
Commission
Several days ago I received a telephone call from Representative
Jack Fields (R-TX) regarding whether the President would issue a
proclamation commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Panama
Canal Commission. I do not know why the matter was not pursued
in Congress unless they just did not want to make the effort
getting the requisite number of cosponsors.
In any event, I passed it along to Jim Cicconi and he apprised me
that normally we do not issue proclamations except in response to
a congressional resolution unless the President has a personal
interest or there is a compelling national interest. Attached is
a copy of the draft resolution provided by Rep. Fields. I need
your guidance as to whether such a proclamation would advance the
Administration's policy goals in Panama. Assuming that you
believe it should be done, I will continue to pursue the effort
with any changes you might want to make in the proclamation.
Should you not want to have the proclamation issued, I will need
to get back to Rep. Fields.
Please advise.

Regarding your questions on a potential proclamation on the 75th
anniversary of the Panama Canal Commission:
1.
Normally we do not issue proclamations except in response to
passage of a congressional resolution unless the President
has a personal interest or there is a compelling national
interest.
2. The national interest on this subject would involve an NSC
determination that such a proclamation would assist our
policy goals in Panama.
The bottom line is that it is highly unusual to issue a
proclamation without passage of a resolution. I would advise
that we do so only if NSC feels this would somehow advance our
policy goals in Panama.

LYDY
SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
PANAMA CANAL
PANAMA CANAL DAY
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclumation
Winsteen hundred and eighty-nine marks the seventy-fifth
year of service to world commerce at the Panama Canal. On
August 15. 1914. this great engineering sarvel opened its
doors to the international shipping community. In uniting
the planet's two largest oceans, the Panama Canal had truly
created a path between the seas for waterborne commerce,
communication and cooperation throughout the world.
Three quarters of a century later, the Canal continues to
serve the maritime industry as a vital link in major
shipping routes. Nearly five billion long tons of
oceangoing cargo have been transited during those 75 years.
The Canal today remains a shining tribute to the visionaries
who conceived it and to the labor force representing many
nations who gave of their energies, skills, even their
lives, to make the dream of an interocesnic passage a
reality. The longevity of this magnificent enterprise is
due to the brilliance of its original design, to the
aggressive modernization and maintenance programs carried
out by each successive generation, and to the skill and
dedication of those who have labored at the Canal during its
construction and subsequent operation.
Many nations contributed to the dream of a waterway linking
the oceans, and their citizens assisted in the actual
construction, but the building of the Paname Canal was,
ultimately, an American success story. The entire country
was behind the project-from President Theodore Roosevelt,
who defied critics and used the full power of his office to
assure its successful completion, to the families of the
actual builders who carefully followed progress on the
Isthmus and prayed fervently that their loved ones would be
spared the fate of the many who succusbed to malaria and
yellow fever. This nation was proud indeed when, on
August 15. 1914, the S/S ANCON made the first commercial
transit of the Panama Canal. More than 700,000 vessels have
now made that passage, and when it is remembered that
approximately 70 percent of the cargo moving through the
Canal either originates on, or is destined for, our shores,
we realize just how important this magnificent facility
still is to us as a nation.
2
While the Canal of 1989 continues under the stewardship of
the United States, our Government is now charged by Treaty
Extended Page
2.1
with the responsibility for employing and training
Panamanians in increasing numbers and at all levels of the
Canal work force in order that the entire enterprise may be
turned over to Panama at the conclusion of this century.
That process is proceeding apace and without any diminution
in the high-quality service which traditionally has been
afforded to the waterway's many customers. This is true
despite significant hardships for Canal employees which have
been engendered by recent political turmoil in the Republic
of Panama: that dedicated and faithful contingent--citizens
of the United States, Panama and a handful of other
countries--continues to work as a team to keep the Panama
Canal open and operating safely and efficiently for the
benefit of the shipping community and all nations of the
world.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United
States of America, do hereby proclain August 15, 1989 as
"Panama Canal Day" and, as we recall the achievements of the
builders and operators of the Canal, I call upon all
Americans, as well as our friends the world over who use the
waterway, to join with me in honoring the past by building
the future in the celebration of its 75th anniversary.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
day
of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and
eighty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of
America the two hundred and thirteenth.

MEMORANDUM FOR G. PHILIP HUGHES
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL
FROM:
EMILY L. WALKER Efwalker
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
SUBJECT:
Enforcement of Panama Sanctions
The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control
("FAC") is responsible for implementation and enforcement of
the Panamanian Transactions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 565,
(the "Regulations"), promulgated pursuant to Executive Order
12635 of April 8, 1988. FAC is prepared to send out cease and
desist orders to six U.S.-owned Panamanian firms, based on
information received from them indicating probable violations
of the prohibition against payments and transfers to the
Noriega/Solis regime (the "Regime"). Such action entails a
significant likelihood of litigation, loss of which could
undermine the viability of the Panama sanctions program. For
that reason, we request that you circulate among interested
agencies the attached white paper discussing various options
for enforcement of the Regulations.
We must receive any agency comment by June 9, so that we can
take expeditious action. If we do not hear objection from the
concerned agencies by this time, we shall assume concurrence
with Option 1 and proceed to take action. If further back-
ground is required, or for agency comment, please contact
R. Richard Newcomb, Director, Office of Foreign Assets Control,
at 376-0395.

Enforcement of the Panamanian Transactions
Regulations Against U.S. Companies in Panama
Six major U.S. companies with operations in Panama have stated
to the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control
("FAC") that their Panamanian branches or subsidiaries have
ceased payroll tax withholding for their Panamanian employees
so that the employees have the funds to pay income and
educational taxes directly to the Noriega/Solis Regime (the
"Regime"). FAC stands ready to take appropriate enforcement
action. However, Treasury's lawyers recently have advised that
notwithstanding the prohibition in the Panamanian Transac-
tions Regulations (the "Regulations") on direct or indirect
payments to the Regime by U.S. firms, the six companies have
defenses that could pose a risk that enforcement action against
them may not succeed.
The six companies, Chase Manhattan Bank, Eastman Kodak, Eastern
Air Lines, IBM, Schering-Plough and Texaco, assert that they
have merely complied with tax decrees of the Regime by. changing
their tax withholding procedures. They argue that these taxes
are obligations of the employees, not the corporation, so that
employee payments cannot be considered indirect payments by the
U.S.-owned firms. They also assert that the doctrine of
foreign state compulsion is an effective legal defense to any
non-compliance with the Regulations. Counsel advises that,
depending on the specific facts of a case, a U.S. court might
accept some or all of their arguments. The six companies'
payment practice is in direct violation of FAC's longstanding
interpretation of the Regulations and is contrary to advice
currently being given to all U.S. firms in Panama, many of whom
have successfully refused to make such payments.
From its inception, the Panama sanctions program has attempted
to achieve two competing policy objectives -- denying cash to
Noriega while not forcing U.S. companies to cease operations in
Panama. To date, much has been accomplished toward achieving
both goals -- Noriega has been denied over $250 million in cash
from U.S. sources; only a few U.S. companies have left Panama.
But Noriega remains in power notwithstanding the sanctions
program.
Now, however, we are confronted with the problems of having to
reconcile these competing goals. In the face of growing
payments to Noriega by U.S. firms' Panamanian employees, who
are not subject to the Regulations; possible violations by U.S.
branches and subsidiaries forced into making payments to the
Regime; and the potential inability to take meaningful
enforcement action because of the legal risks, we must decide
what direction our enforcement program should take until
Noriega is removed from power.

PER DOS WAIVER, November 6, 2015

By MC NARA, Date 7/17/24
Treasury waiver 8.22.06
Confidential
- 2 -
This urgent enforcement policy matter presents not only
significant U.S. foreign policy and business investment issues,
but also critical ethical questions. We cannot continue to
advise U.S. firms not to make gross salary payments to their
Panamanian employees while we know that six large U.S.
companies are making such payments and enforcement action has
not been taken because of the legal risk that it may not
succeed.
The current situation is untenable for FAC and the
Administration. A decision on this matter is needed urgently.
The impact of this decision potentially goes to the enforcement
and success of the entire sanctions program in Panama. The
following alternative courses of action are available to us at
this time:
OPTION 1: NOTWITHSTANDING THE LEGAL RISKS INVOLVED, FAC
SHOULD PROCEED WITH ENFORCEMENT ACTION BY FIRST ISSUING CEASE
AND DESIST ORDERS AND THEN PROCEEDING WITH OTHER MEASURES AS
NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE.
PRO: Would send a strong message to Noriega and
U.S. companies that we are serious about the sanctions
program and that violations will not be tolerated; such
action is a necessary first step to additional sanctions
initiatives or other stronger measures; supports the
Administration's program by denying cash to Noriega.
CON: A legal risk exists that enforcement action may not
succeed and thus may potentially jeopardize the sanctions
program in Panama; successful enforcement action may force
U.S. companies to leave.
OPTION 2: REINTERPRET OR AMEND THE REGULATIONS TO PERMIT
PAYMENTS BY U.S. COMPANIES IN PANAMA WHERE THE REGIME HAS
ISSUED A DEMAND THAT PAYMENTS BE MADE.
PRO: Would relieve the current situation where the
existing language of the Regulations may be unenforceable.
CON: Would be a substantive victory for Noriega
over the U.S.; could substantially reduce the funds now
being denied to the Regime and effectively permit any
payment to the Regime by U.S. persons in Panama.
OPTION 3: DIRECT U.S. COMPANIES EITHER TO DENY PAYMENT
TO THE REGIME OR TO LEAVE PANAMA WHEN THE REGIME DEMANDS
PAYMENT OF THEIR TAX OBLIGATIONS.
PRO: Would be viewed as a strong U.S. statement of
opposition to the Regime and its actions; could cause the
Regime to forego collection of tax obligations from U.S
companies in order to keep them in Panama.
-Confidential
Confidential
- 3 -
CON: Could destroy long-term U.S. business presence and
economic power in Panama by forcing many companies to
cease operations.
OPTION 4: FORCE ALL U.S. COMPANIES TO LEAVE PANAMA.
PRO: Would demonstrate U.S. resolve not to deal with
Panama unless Noriega is removed from power.
CON: Would remove U.S. economic presence in Panama
entirely; would raise the issue of equal treatment if
Southcom and the Panama Canal Commission were exempted.
OPTION 5: TAKE NO ACTION; MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO.
PRO: Avoids legal risks and having to make difficult
decisions with potential long-range impact on U.S.
business presence in Panama.
CON: Will subject the Administration to Congressional
and press criticism for failure to use best efforts to
implement programs effectively; inconsistent with the
Administration's program; money will continue to flow to
the Regime.
Having reviewed these options, the Treasury Department believes
that the preferred course of action is to adopt Option 1.
However, in light of the legal risks and the foreign policy
issues involved, FAC will defer taking action until June 9
pending interagency review.

WILLIAM T. PRYCE
EVERETT ELLIS BRIGGS will
SUBJECT:
Your Meeting with General Maxwell Thurman New
Commander in Chief of the U.S. Southern Command
You have agreed to meet with General Thurman who will be
replacing General Woerner as CINCSOUTH October 1, 1989. General
Thurman was Vice Chief of Staff of the Army from June of 1983 to
June of 1987 and was slated to retire after serving as Commander
of the Army's Training and Doctrine command when he was asked to
take CINCSOUTH position. He impresses us as a person who will be
very much in Command in Panama. In a conversation with us
several weeks ago, he said he recognized his lack of experience
in Latin America, but that he had confidence in his ability to do
a good job.
General Thurman has called on Congressman William Broomfield,
George Crockett, Dante Fascell, Robert Lagomonarsino and will
have seen Secretary Cheney before calling on you. We are not
aware of any specific issues he wishes to discuss with you. You
may want to use the talking points at Tab A in your meeting.
Ambassador Briggs will sit in.

POINTS TO BE MADE FOR MEETING WITH
GENERAL MAXWELL THURMAN
:
You will be taking over a very difficult command at a time
when Presidential interest in Panama and Central America is
very high.
Our immediate objective in Panama is to achieve Noriega's
departure and a transfer of power to a democratic
government.
General Noriega may try to establish contact with you. The
consensus is that this is not a good idea.
:
There is a good system for coordination of our policies in
Panama in place-The Panama Review Committee where
Ambassador or the Charge is the chairman.
There has been friction in the past between CINCSOUTH and
some Ambassadors in the region. This has often happened
when a CINC has not appreciated the Ambassador's role as the
President's representative in a given country. Close
coordination ahead of time can avoid problems.
Panama is a special place. Washington agencies understand
the separate chains of command but also the special need for
coordination.

SUBJECT:
Implementation Steps for Panama Treaties Between
Now and the Year 2000
The following is in response to your query to Ted Briggs.
There are only two specific implementation steps required of the
U.S. by the Panama Canal Treaties between now and the year 2000
beyond those already taken and in addition to those of a
continuing nature:
1.
Appoint a Panamanian Administrator of the Canal to be
nominated by the Government of Panama on January 1, 1990.
2. Turn over everything and get out by December 31, 1999.
We have a continuing obligation for Panama to "participate
increasingly in the management and protection and defense of the
Canal." We also have obligations to increase Panamanian
participation in the work force (nearing 85%), and to turn over
Panama Canal Commission housing we are not using. We are more
than meeting our obligations on both these counts. Our sharing
of participation in the defense and protection of the Canal has,
for obvious reasons, slipped a little.

National Security Classified Marking
A Long Range Foreign Policy:-
By MB (NLGB) on 11/20/14
Political Incorporation of Nexico
I recognize that there are quite a lot of problematic
issues in our contemporay R foreign policy. However I perceive
that our situation will be more troublesome in the long run.
The main threat to our security will be how we will counteract
the possibility that Russia will successfully develop Siberia
in the coming future.
We can not afford to live in the illusion any longer that
Siberia is a desert land. Given the scientific and technological
progress of today, Russia is surely able to develop Siberia
sooner or later. Siberia would be a desert land in terms of
agricultural progress but, I believe, it will not be a desert
land in terms of industrial development and as a provider of
mineral resources.
The gross national product of Russia is about half as
much as ours. But its territory is twice as big as ours. If
W
everything is left alone; Russia, I believe, $111 surpass us
in economic prosperity in the future. Do we have any practical
plan to prevent this tendency? How will Russian economic
supremacy influence the balance of power in world politics?
These are the problems I am going to explore.
Some scholars will advocate international trade as a means
to overcome this Russian threat. But I doubt how significant
it will be. the can pretty sure kto say that Western Europe,
Canada and Australia will remain our dependable trade partners
in the future. But what about Middle East, Africa, Asia, and
Latin America? After Russia is fully developed it can offer
(1)
beteter economic terms to this contested areas for international
trade. We can not fox afford to see that one nation after another
in these contested areas fall into the Russian economic sphere.
Besides, international trade is mutually benefitted. We
caN not reap all the profit from it. How can we appropriate
a huge expenditure for armament development then? I am sure
if Russia successfully surpasses us in economic development,
it will intensify its threat in the areas of political and
military matters.
The policy I propose is to politically incorporate Mexico.
The thing I stress is politics. We have to review the policies
of all our great administrations to design a workable plan for
this end. Both the policies of our expansionist presidents,
like Jefferson, Monroe, and Polk, and the policies of our
humanitarian liberal presidents, like Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
and Kennedy should be re-examined so that we can incorporate
the features of both in order to plan for the future.
To expand is the goal of my proposal. But I emphatically
point out: da to do it by the 18th century or 19th century method
will surely lead our policy to blunder. Our continental expansion
only led us to expand to the sparsely populated empty space.
Our former problem was to migrate enough people to the newly
acquired territory. But Mexdco today is densely populated.
So a humanitarian policy has to be formulated for / this objective.
Besides military action was the rule rather than the exception
in the world of those days, but the world trend of today will
surely condemn military action for expansion.
K
My plan is to offer something beneficial to the Mexicans.
I want to achieve our goal by persuasion. I would like to
tell them that by accepting my plan of incorporation they will
(2)
lose their identity as Mexicans but they will gain the citizenship
of the most powerful and the wealthiest nation. I will promise
them, within the shortest possible time, say not longer than
30 years, they will have at living standard equally high as
any place in the United States. I would like to ask them a
hypothetical question: Do most of the Mexicans want to come
to the United States, if immigration law permits, and stay
here for 5 years and get naturalized? The answer is surely
a yes in nine cases out of ten. The possible way to do this
is to persuade them to accept my plan of incorporation. Most
Mexicans have their ancesters came there from Spain and Europe.
What difference does it make whether they will be United States
citizens or remain to be Mexican citizens?
On the other hand I want to inform the Mexicans the existing
threat that Russia might surpass the United States. What
situation the world might be in, once the balance of power
is & tipped to the favor of Russia? It won't do any good to
Mexico in the long run. Felor the United States and for Mexico,
it will be beneficial for Mexicans to accept my plan of
political incorporation.
X
Since the general policy is outlined, I will specify the
detailed conditions to be offered to the Mexicans.
First--legal procedure- We might advocate this plan in
the public and inform the Mexicans tinough news media. Upon
a favorable public trend in Mexci co, we propose diplomatic
negotiation. Cr we can secretly propose diplomatic negotiation
with Mexican officials and ask them to influence the Mexican
public opinion. Or it would be better to propose such a
program in the Organization of American States. If a treaty
(3)
of political incorporation is signed, it will go through the
normal procedure of ratification. Furthermore I advise to
have the Mexican public to Confirm such a treaty in a general
election with specific procedure, that is, to place the ratified
treaty continuously in every Mexican general election until
it gains the majority support. (The purpose here is to get
the understanding and the consent of the Mexican public in
addition to the understanding and consent of the Mexican officials
and legislators. We might not succeed in the first general
election but we surely will succeed in successive elections
upon our repeated explanation of the ratified treaty to the
Mexicans.)
Second--economic development--we promise to appropriate

power.
Third--migration of people--we should encourage the Mexicans
to come to the fifty states, but we whould limit the number
of people going to Mexico, not more *** than the Mexicans coming
out excluding people travel to and fro. (The purpose here
is to prevent a rush of the unemployed to go to Mexico to
take over the Mexicans' jots.)
Fourth--Americanisation--we will Americanize the Mexicans
in the shortest possible time. ::e should use be-lingual for
one generation to educate them. XX We will incorporate Mexican

history into United States history. We should teach Nexican
history as a high school subject like California history is
taught now. We should encourage the Mexicans to preserve
Mexican culture freely as Ithey wish.
Fifth--military draft--for a definite period of time, we
will not draft Mexicans for any war effort outside athe defence
of Mexico. For those Mexicans who volunteer we will make
selection according to military qualifications.
W
I Sixth--territorial government--we $111 divide Mexico into
territories, say 3 territories. We might preserve Mexican
government as a regional government for a transitional period.
The territorial governors and the regional governor-general
will be popularly elected by Mexicans. Federal liaison should
be appointed for advisory purpose. Territorial governments
will retain authority in civilian affairs unless certain X practice
is ruled unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.
Seventy--Congressional delegation--the territorial
government will send a delegation to the Congress to represent
the local interests.
Eighth--statehood--the three territories will be given
opportunities to become states at the earliest possible time
according to the wished of the Mexicans and the consent of
the Congress.
the
Ninth-no secession--once the Mexican public confirms
dhe treaty of incorporation, Mexdico will become an integral
part of the United States, There will be no right to secede.
And foreign affairs and defense affairs will be the demanin of
the United States federal government.
Without an appropriate speculation of Russian reaction,
(5)
my plan would not be complete and here is where all the troubles
begin. To expect Russia to do nothing is a wishful thinking.
But I don't think Russia will launch a nuclear war because it
will do Russians no good although we certainly will not relax
our detection on surprise attack.
This is a political maneuver. Would Russia retaliate in
kind? If it does it might annex Poland. This is what I anticipate
Russia to do. It is a calculated response. Our counter move
would be to propose political incorporation of Brazil. And
I expect Russia to take steps to annex the rest of Eastern
Europe. It will be O.K. if it excludes East Germany. The
ratio of these expanded territories will be 5 to 2 roughly.
We still have a better bargain.
HoweveIr, if Russia will annex the entire Eastern Europe
at the time we politically incorporate Mexico, it will give
us a terrible headache.
Another possibility will be equally troublesome. What
will we do if Russians feel Eastern Europe is safely theirs
and annex Iran? If Russia do it politically we can only
launch diplomatic maneuver in the Middle East. If Russia
annexes it militarily we can declare war situation exists in
Middle East (I don't mean declare war to Russia.) and help
to defend Iran if the Iranians want to defend themselves.
If Iranians don't want to defend themselves we can only send
troops to other Arabian nations to provent further Mussian
military ventures.
If major land war breacout between the United States
and Russia in Middle East, we have to sonsider the long
supply line between our home base and Middle East. besides
(6)
if Russia uses terror policy to bomb Arabian civilian centers
to weaken the XX Arabians' morale to resist, it will be a terrible
strategic problem to us.
This is a policy that we have to carry out. We must get
it done before it is too late. If it means war with Russia
it is a war of survival. If Russians can stop us from doing
it now they can dictate us to any terms when they assume
economic supremacy.
If the federal government is going to consider my plan,
it has to & review many of its policies. We have to pay attention
to the foreign criticism. While they criticize Russian policy
of political domination, they complain our practice of economic
exploitation and social abuse by our businessman and oversea
a
residents, though not our declared pl policy. We also hve to
^
improve our racial policy of minority equality at home.
I propose this plan to perpetuate our leadership. In
the world history, leadership comes and goes but we proclaim
leadership because we believe we have a higher moral. We
proclaim leadership because we believe we have made more
positive constribution to the world in the areas of science,
technology, medicine, and political integrity. I appeal to
the Higher Law to preserve our leadership. I do not propose
a scramble for power and territory. I propose this plan in
order to preserve justice and peace. I propose this plan
in order to further the development of civilization.
I am a pacifist at heart simply because I don't want to
sacrifice myself and I don't want anybody to sacrifice. I
am an ardent advocate of anti-imperialism simply because I
can't endure exploitation. I propose this plan because I feel
(7)
it is right and necessary. I expect the federal government
to deliberate on ± my plan and then let the public discuss it.
Apublic discussion on this plan now will hinder rather than
help this plan. I hope we will find the means to enact this
plan.

Future System Exercise
Determined NOT to be
Super-Giant Nations System
National Security Classified Marking
By MB (NLGB) on 11/20/14
The present loose bipolar system won't exist forever. Assuming
we are constantly under this system of "oold pease" and a detente
is established between the United States and Soveit Russia. We
will hear less of amilitary confrontation but the political and
economical competition will continue forever. The changing nature
of the Cold War is equally critical to the United States. Russia
is at the advantageous situation because it has the large Siberia
territory to develop. Russia boasts that all kinds of mineral exist
in Siberia. Once Siberia is successfully developed, Russia will
surpass the United States and assume economic supremacy. If unchecked
Russia will peacefully take over the leadership among all nations
and nobody knows what Russia will do with its newly acquired economic
power.
On the other hand, the United States will not sit there idly
and let Russia assume the leadership. However the United States
needs not to fight a preventive war. The united States should
politically incorporate Mexico.
Since we want Mexico to merge with us, we offer something
beneficial to the Mexicans. The following points should be presented.
First--legal procedure--we might advocate this plan in the
public and inform the Mexicans through news media. Upon a favorable
public trend in Mexico, we propose diplomatic negotiation. Or we
can secretly propose diplomatic negotiation w th Mexicanofficials
and ask them to influence the Mexican public opinion. Or it would
be better to propose such a program in the Organisation of American
(1)
States. If a treaty of political incorporation is signed, it would
go through the normal procedure of ratification. Furthermore I
advise to have the Mexican public to confirm such a treaty in a
general election with specific procedure, that 1s, to place the
ratified treaty continuously in every Mexican general election until
it gains the majority support.
Second--economic development--we promise to appropriate 3 to 5
billion dollars each year for 10 consecutive years for public
welfare/spending in education, sanitary facilities and health programs,
irrigation and power projects, highway construction and transportation,
ruban construction and rural development, etc, We will also encourage
the United States citizens to invest privately in agriculture, *
industry, and commerce.
Third--migration of people--we should encourage the Mexicans
to come to the fifty states, but we should limit the number of
people going to Mexico, not more than the Mexicans coming out, E
excluding people travel to and fro. (The purpose here is to prevent
a rush of the unemployed to go to Mexico to take over the Mexic ans'
jobs.) If the region of Mexico has a lower un employer ent rate
this writing will be related to the atat appropriate to
Fourth--Americanization--we will Americanize the Mexicans in the
the shortest possible time. We should use bi-lingual for one
situation
generation to educate them. We will incorporate Mexican history
into United States history. We should teach Mexican history as
a
high school subject like California history is taught now. We
should encourage the Mexicans to preserve Mexican culture freely
as they wish.
Fifth--military draft--for a definite period of time, we will
not draft Mexicans for any war effort outside the defense of Mexico.
(2)
For those Mexicans who volunteer we will make selection according
to military qualifications.
total well is declared.
This condition will be suspended if
Sixth--territorial government--we will divide Mexico into %
territories, say 3 territories. We might preserve Mexican government
as a regional government for a transitional period. The territorial
governors and the regional governor-general will be popularly
elected by the Mexicans, Federal liaison should be appointed for
advisory purpose. Territorial governments will retain authority
in civilian affairs unless certain practice is ruled unconstitutional
by the United States Supreme Court.
Seventh--Congressional delegation--the territorial government
will send a delegation to the Congress to represent the local interests.
Eighth--statehood--the three territories will be given opportunitied
to become states at the earliest possible time according to the
wishes of the Mexicansend the consent of the Congress.
Ninth--no secession-once the Mexicans public confirms the
treaty of incorporation, Mexico will become an integral part of
the United States. There will be no right to secede. And foreign
affairs and defense affairs will be the domain of the United States
federal government.
If the United States successfully incorporates Mexico, Soviet
Russia will respond in kind. It probably will annex Poland or Iran.
Communist China might follow the trend to annex Korea or Vietnam.
This process might cause the Western Europe to unite as one nation.
If the United States can successfully incorporate Mexico, it
will be able to incorporate Brasil, Argentina and other Latin American
nations; provi ded that Russia and Communist China will play the game
(3)
in the same way. They will annex their neighboring nations respectively.
Western Europe night ask Australia and New Zeland to join the United
Western Europe as associate members. African nations will united
together. Japan might organise an oceanic nation of Japan, Philippine,
and Indonisa, So & world of super-giant nations will emerge. Ne must
pay special attention to Arabian oil absources.
The super-giant nations system will keep the "Cold Peace" as
it is today, There are still the difference of developed and developing
nations. Wether each super-giant nation will become more slef-
sufficient economically or there will be more international special-
isation would depend on the future development of this system. The
psycho milieu of the national policy-makers and the operational
milieu of the reality will continue to be differentiated since
no-one can dictate the future development. The national policy-
makers must make policy in accord will the daily development.
Different ideologies will still exist. Individual populace
will choose their own form of government. The concept of freedom,
equality, individual dignity, property, religion, etc. will be inter-
preted and executed in accord with the desire of each nation.
There will be just a few actor in the system. However, the
super-super-giants, that is, the United States and Russia will
still be the dominate powers and greatly influence the international
politics; although the lesser-super-giant, that is, the other nations
can co-operate togMether to exert their ml shes,
Each nation will be independent and severeign. Each nation
might develop its own muclear weapons and missils. The nuclear
stalemate will deter any aggression. The nations will keep to
United Nations and other international institutions as they see
(4)
fit. Assuming there will be no war and the nations cultivate
mutual understanding and agree upon an appropriate political and
economical system; then, they can develop a world government.
The major problem for this system to emerge is the mutual fear
of nations. The means to get this plan started peacefully has to
be found. Besides after this super-giant nations are established,
there will be not so much fear of explicit aggression but subversion
which is a difficult situation to be handled.

June 10, 1988.
Miss Amy Carter,
& c/o the Honorable Jimmy Carter,
Habitat for Humanity,
Habitat and Church Streets,
Americus, GA 31709.
Dear Amy,
How are you? I hope you are doing fine.
I caN't concentrate. I came across another distraction. Recently I
thought that my knowledge about the European system was limited. I should
learn more about it. I started from the foundation. I began with English history.
I wanted to find a book on English history for the period from 1900 to the present.
I found a library book called Britain in Transition by Alfred F. Havighurst. I
finished reading the first two chapters. My reading inspires me to think of
great events. I wanted to share my thought with you..
The 1st chapter told the background for the duration of investigation. It
started with the death of Queen Victoria. It said this event signified the end
of the Victorian Era. It cited the unpopular war-the Boer War in South Africa.
It continued to tell the relative decline of British economy, and the Beginning
of the Labor Party. These events ushered in the struggle of party politics and
the search for reality..
The 2nd chapter described Edwardian England--England during the king Edward VII.
I xerox the first three pages of this chapter for you to read. The heading of these
pages was "The Great Debate."
My thought was that I worry the events in England from then on would be the
(1)
future parallel of the events in the United States. However, after much thinking
of the United States future, I come to the conclusion and hope since I have faith
in God, I have faithe in the American people, I believe God Almighty will continue
CC
to bless us and lead us to rise up to the odcasion and change the world for the
better.
Here is why I thought SO. At the present time, I found the parallel in
events. We went through an unpopular war-the Vietnam War. Our economy is in the
process of relative decline. Our political leaders do not unite in a consensus.
As "The Great Debate" in the book described that the Victorian Era was the
golden age of England. The British people was confident of the future. However,
the debate revealed that the British people during the Edwardian England were
best described that they were in a period of disenchantment. That is a suitable
word to say about the American peoplen now. Our golden age--post WWII--was gone.
The future events of the British people then were the two world wars, the
collapse of the British empire, and the decline, after that, of political and
military power for the British people in world affairs.
The reasoning I don't succumb to the historical parallel as the future for
the United States and conclude that we have 2 bright future lying ahead is that
we have the best government in the world ever since there is recorded history.
Our domestic policy and foreign policy have been much better comparatively.
However, the thing we have to watch for is that we should not be complacent.
We got to think in this way that "All people are God's children," and President
Kennedy concluded his inaugural address that "God's work on earth is truly our
own." I have a simple statement to interpret "What is God law?" God law is our
conscience. We have to think that whenever we do something to others, we have to
imagine what would we do in return if we are done the same thing by others.
X
We should always put our feet into others' shoes. This, I believe, is God law.
I don't agree with those that if there is any problem, domestic or foreign,
(2)
they would way that is because there is Communist agitation. We have to reckon
that there are the real causes of the problem besides Communist agitation, such
as hunger, disease, and ignorance. We have to work on the real causes and get
involved. I don't believe that we have to be altruistic. I only suggest that
we should consider our anght enlightened self-interest instead of exploitative
self-interest. We should get into an enlightened involvement.
As I ahad hinted in my previous writing long ago, God might say to us that
comparatively better would enable1 us to preserve the leadership in the world
comparatively longer than England in the 18-19th century and Spain in the 15-16th
century. If we want to perpetuate our leadership, we have to do the appropriate
thing. We can't afford to be complacent. I would like to express my view on
some specific issues below.
Amy, what would X you saY about the Ethiopians who walked miles after miles
to get some food on relief. It was immoral for us to stand-by idly in the eyes
of God. However, we shouldn't assume the full responsibility for what they are
suffering. The Ethiopian government adopted policy for the ecological condition
to deteriorate that adversely affected its agriculture. It is partly true to
say that the famine was man-made. Besides, the food from world relief was left
rotten in seaports and transportation points. Furthermore, the personal fortune
of the local elite was fatten as reported by journalists. Anyhow, the gap of
living standars between the economically advanced nations and the 3rd world must
be narrowed. I don't advocate zero growth for Ithe United States and the dother
advanced developed nations. I believe, we should aim at a growth rate of post-
WWII annual average. At the same time, we should also help the 3rd weler world
nations to achieve a high rate of growth.
The best nt policy I like for the Reagan administration is his Afghanistan
policy. It forced the USSR to retreat. It exposed to the world that USSR bogged
down in Afghanistan as we had bogged down in Vietnam. However, we have a dilemma
{ (3)
now. What would we do as Afghanistan people face post-war reconstruction now?
I am learning; I am watching. Afghanistan is far from us. It is land-locked.
It does not have seaports. It had been a Buffer state between British India
and USSR before WWII. had been neutral and leaned on USSR since the end of
WWII. What should be our afghanistan policy? I certainly have this question.
When I talk about Reagan policy, I can't let go without a few words about
his most controversial policy--the SDI, nicknamed Star War. I believe, we and
the Soviet people should have a well-controlled and well-planned development of
Star War, jointly if possible, independently if necessary. As its name, it
should be for star war, for plenatary defense. During the Kennedy administration
in the early 60's, I had kkm been a strong advocate of space exploration. My
reasoning is that/ I learned from Chinese history that China had been unified
3-4 thousand years ago. Then, it became divided and unified again. Division
and unification alternated. 2 thousand years ago, it was divided for 2-3 hundred
years--the longest period of division. It was then unified again. The monarch
disarmed the people. The monarch failed to begin sea exploration. That dynasty
was overthrown soon afterwards. Later China went through the same process--
unification and division. The worst thing is that no menarch favored sea exploration..
Even though, about thousand years ago, the Chinese sailors sailed to the Philippines
and Indonesia. It was just one-time phenomeanon. No one continued the effdorts
in an organized manner. The other bad thing was disarmament. The monarchs of
various dynasties thought of their own fortune, weakening the Chinese people and
fooling the people for the suppression of them, neglecting national defense, to
exaggerate a little. Then the European came, the Opium War in 1850's, China
suffered humiliation after humiliation for more thaw100 years. So, I concluded
if the people in the world do not explore space and do not go there, people
from outer space would come to us and humiliate us.
I assume that God is almighty, and I don't want to limit the progress of
(4)
future generations. One hundred years ago or earlier, I believe, no one in the
world would think of super-sonic speed transportation vehicle, Now, we did have
that. So, thousand years form now or later, could we say for sure that super-
electronic speed transportation vehicle would not be a possibility? By this way
of thinking, I favor space exploration and imagine the way I do for Star War.
As I wrote previously in the the essay, "MY Psychic Experience," I said that
God's inspiration, psychic's co-operation and human efforts developed all the
civilizations. The world future is a gamble. We should not suckkz succumb to
the thinking of the pessimists that the world is going to doom. There are four
ways the world is going to doom. (1) A mad, and world of arm race, and finally
fight a total thermonuclear war. (2) Total depletion of resources. (3) Population
with
explosion to the point that the world is packed of human being shoulder to shoulder
&
on the land surface of the world. And/ (4) the Invironmentalists would add the
total ecological imbalance. (This category I know little about.)
My remedies for these are (1) to control armament to prevent war especially
nuclear war. (2) I assume God is almighty. If God can create the world and the
universe, He certainly can create more resources for us. However, we must preserve
what we have got. We have to abide by what the church saying is, "What we got
is a trust from God. We should use it for a good purpose." (3) We have developed
some means to control population growth. We shoudl continue the efforts and control
population. (4) As I said I know little about this category.
However, I am a dreamer. Ultimately the world is going to be unified.
Ultimately we will have the super-electronic speed transportation vehicle for
space travel. As reported, the Western Europe is going to be economically integrated
in 1992. We should Zencourage this trend. We should consider the Aprocess for
the integration of Western Europe to serve as the blueprint for the integration
of the United States and Canada. And our X new policy for 2 united Western
Europe should be interdependence and close consultation.
(5)
As some journalists speculated that the USSR seems willing to accept a
2nd place in the world. This trend would help to preserve the status quo. If
this is going to happen, we can hope that the tension of the Cold War can be
relaxed and changed to peaceful competition.
To conclude my letter, I have this to say to the people of the United States
and the people of the world. "The ideal, the high standard I will subscribe to
is what I demand you to abide by. Equality is applied to all who strive for it.
You cannot enjoy the fruit of equality by expecting the others to do the and
hard work and you would stand-by leisurely. I wish let us is all work for the
common good of all."
Best wishes.
Yours
