The scheduled November 1982 military exercise BRIGHT STAR may be expanded as required, with the proviso that all actions undertaken will be on a training basis. Accelerated military assistance for Sudan will be within the existing budget and will be reprogrammed within the FY 82 Security Assistance budget. Contingency planning in support of Egypt and/or Sudan should be undertaken on a priority basis, but discussion of such contingency planning with Egypt or Sudan must not create policy expectations which the United States cannot fulfill.
