DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON
2310
February 12, 1970
SECRET
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: Waiver Determination to Permit Grant
Military Assistance Program to Spain
The enclosed memorandum recommends that under
Section 614 (a) of the Foreign Assistance Act you
determine that the authorization of $50 million to
provide military assistance to Spain is important to
the security of the U.S. and that you authorize the
use of such sum for that purpose. Without such a
determination and authorization assistance to Spain
would be prohibited by Section 620 (m) of the Foreign
Assistance Act which provides that "No assistance
shall be furnished on a grant basis under this Act to
any economically developed nation capable of sustain-
ing its own defense burden and economic growth
"
This is the first Section 614 (a) waiver determination
requested in the case of Spain.
Your determination will permit fulfillment of
intentions expressed by the United States Government
in connection with the Agreement signed on June 20,
1969, to extend the Defense Agreements of 1953 from
September 26, 1968, until September 26, 1970. This
agreement provides for continued military rights and
use of facilities in Spain. As part of the quid pro
quo for the extension, the United States Government
indicated its intention, subject to the existence of
authorizing legislation and to the provision of the
necessary funds by Congress, to provide up to a
maximum of $50 million of military assistance during
the period of the extension.
In considering this determination, we believe you
should be aware of the following points:
