DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON
2310
February 12, 1970
SECRET
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: Determination and Authorization under
Section 614 (a) of the Foreign Assistance
Act of 1961, as Amended, Permitting the
Furnishing of Defense Articles and
Services to Spain on a Grant Basis
We propose to furnish an amount not to exceed
$50 million in defense articles and services to Spain
as part of the quid pro quò for the bilateral agreement
signed on June 20, 1969, for continued U.S. military
rights and facilities in Spain.
Discussion
On June 20, 1969, the United States and Spain
signed an agreement extending the Defense Agreements
of 1953 from September 26, 1968 (the actual date of
their expiration) to September 26, 1970, with an
additional one year grace period. These agreements
provide the basis for United States military rights
and facilities in Spain.
In connection with the Extension Agreement, the
Secretary of State, in letters to the Spanish Foreign
Minister, agreed that the United States Government
would "continue to provide at an appropriate level
during the period of this extension military assistance
to contribute to the modernization of the Spanish
armed forces and defense industries' and expressed
the "intention" of the U.S. Government that "subject
to the existence of authorizing legislation and to
the provision of the necessary funds by Congress,
the United States Government will provide up to a
maximum of $50 million of military assistance during
the period of this extension.
