THE under SECRETARY OF STATE
WASHINGTON
March 7, 1970
3530
NSC UNDER SECRETARIES COMMITTEE
SECRET
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Spanish Base Negotiations
Objective:
You requested that the Under Secretaries
Committee prepare recommendations on agreed quid
pro quo that can be offered to the Spanish in the
forthcoming base negotiations. The Spanish Foreign
Minister, Gregorio Lopez Bravo, plans to be in
Washington on March 17 and 18. We request your
approval of this memorandum as guidance for the
Secretary of State in his exploratory discussions
with the Spanish Foreign Minister. We will make
further recommendations to you with regard to quid
pro quo and consultations with Congressional leaders
following Lopez Bravo's visit.
We have reviewed the continued requirements for
our present facilities in Spain. It is our view that
we would not want to abandon or dispense with any
of these facilities and rights, even taking into
account the projected stringencies of the Defense
budget in the FY 72-76 period. We note, however,
that the re-examination of U.S. strategy and forces
for NATO directed by NSSM 84 could, depending on
your future decisions, alter our requirements for
facilities in Spain.
We recognize that while retention of all of these
facilities is desirable to support our current strategy,
some are more important than others. Accordingly, a
listing of priorities is being forwarded through the
DPRC. This listing will indicate the relative importance
