MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION
PARTICIPANTS:
President Ford
Ambassador Robert Anderson, Ambassador to Morocco
Brent Scowcroft, Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs
DATE AND TIME:
Monday, February 23, 1976
12:00 noon
PLACE:
The Oval Office
Anderson: It was great of you to see me, Mr. President.
President: When are you leaving?
Anderson: Wednesday. I want to go through New York and talk to the
bankers. We want to get investment in there.
President: You are moving into a potential hot spot. Would you please
tell King Hassan for me that we support him and we are prepared to
accelerate sending equipment there, and we will facilitate help from
Iran and Jordan. But we hope the Sahara situation can be resolved in a
reasonable way. It has been quiet the past few days.
Anderson: Yes. I don't think anything will come of the Iran/Jordan F-5

bit. There is a big price differential and I hope we can stay out of it.
President: Who is supporting Algeria?
DECLASSIFIED
Anderson: Of the Arabs, only Khaddafi, who is pouring money and equip-
ment in. All of the other Arabs are supporting Morocco. It is a
ticklish problem but I think it will not get to the point of real fighting
between Algeria and Morocco.

President: Well, I am pleased you are going there and I'm sure you
will do an outstanding job. Don't they have good golf courses there?
Anderson: Yes. And skiing too. And you can do them at the same
time. Keep it in mind, Mr. President.
President: [Laughs] Be sure to give the King my very best wishes.
Anderson: Again, Mr. President, thank you for your confidence in me.
