You have my very best\nwishes as you take on your second election\nmonitoring effort in three months. The\nsuccessful monitoring effort in Nicaragua was\ncertainly instrumental in making the transition\nto democracy in that country possible.\nI have had my people review for me the pre-\nelection situation in the Dominican Republic.\nThey tell me that this has been a hard-fought\ncontest, but we have seen no solid reports that\nthe integrity of the electoral process will be\ncompromised. Moreover, our Embassy and senior\nState Department officials have gone on record\nrepeatedly in private meetings with Dominican\nofficials of all parties stressing the\nimportance of a free electoral process and the\nneed to respect the results. We believe this\nmessage is clearly understood, and that the\nDominicans realize the dramatically negative\nimplications that a fraudulent election would\nhave for our relations. For these reasons, I\nbelieve that any personal and public involvement\nby me on the very eve of the elections would not\nbe productive.\nI have no favorites in the Dominican\npresidential race, and I think all sides realize\nthat we are prepared to work cooperatively with\nwhomever is chosen by the Dominican people as\ntheir next leader.\nAgain, my very best wishes for your important\nmission. You are involved in a labor of love\nfor democracy.\nSincerely,\nCol\nThe Honorable Jimmy Carter\n1 Copehill Avenue, N.E.\nAtlanta, GA 30307\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\nTHE PRESIDENT HAS33EEN\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nMay 11, 1990\n17 IIJ 11 INH CSCI\nACTION\nMEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT\nFROM:\nBRENT SCOWCROFT\nD\nSUBJECT:\nProposed Reply to President Carter on Dominican\nElections\nPurpose\nTo reply to a May 4 letter from President Carter asking you to\nsend a private message to President Balaguer and issue a public\nstatement in advance of the May 16 presidential election in the\nDominican Republic.\nBackground\nPresident Carter's letter recalls that twelve years ago he\nfollowed a similar course to the one he is asking you to take\nnow. He says presidential candidate Juan Bosch has phoned him\nexpressing concerns that the election might not be free.\nWe recommend against the action suggested by President Carter.\nComing at this late date, it would be seen as a clumsy effort on\nour part to interfere in the election. We have no indication\nthat Balaguer is about to steal the election. Juan Bosch is\nhardly a disinterested observer.\nThe draft reply at Tab A wishes Carter well in his monitoring\nrole in the elections, but declines the suggestion to become\ndirectly involved at this juncture.\nRECOMMENDATION\nThat you sign the proposed reply to President Carter at Tab A.\nCC: Vice President\nAttachments\nChief of Staff\nTab A\nProposed Reply to President Carter\nTab B\nPresident Carter's letter to you\nDECLASSIFIED\nPER NSC WAIVER, 1500 2021-02\nBy SS NARA, Date 3/4/24\nCONF IDENTIAL\nDeclassify on: OADR\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\n3710\nNATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL\nWASHINGTON. D.C. 20506\nMay 10, 1990\nACTION\nMEMORANDUM FOR BRENT SCOWCROFT\nTHROUGH:\nWILLIAM T. PRYCE\nwto\nFROM:\nDONALD C. JOHNSON Do\nSUBJECT:\nReply to Former President Carter on Dominican\nRepublic Elections\nFormer President Jimmy Carter has written the President asking\nhim to make a public statement and send a private message to\nPresident Balaguer of the Dominican Republic. He recalls that\ntwelve years ago he did the same thing to thwart Balaguer from\nstealing the election. He suggests that Balaguer is considering\ntampering with the election to assure his victory.\nWe do not believe that the President should follow Carter's\nsuggestion in this case. The Embassy has repeatedly delivered\nour message about respecting the integrity of the electoral\nprocess. A public statement by us at this time would be a clumsy\ninterference in the process on the eve of the elections, which\nwill take place next Wednesday, May 16.

DEAL\nL\nFROM:\nERIC MELBY M.\nSUBJECT:\nThematic Paper for Houston Economic Summit\nAt Tab I is the Houston Summit thematic paper which will be\ndiscussed by the Sherpas at their meeting in Paris May 17-19.\nThe paper's purpose is to begin the process of finding common\nground among the G-7 on the substantive economic issues. This\nwill lead eventually to a draft communique (at which point the\nthematic paper will disappear).\nThe paper was drafted by Dick McCormack's staff, based on\ncontributions from the relevant agencies (State, Treasury, USTR,\nUSDA, Commerce, DOE, CEA, etc.) It was then substantially re-\nwritten by us, with help from David Mulford's staff and relevant\nparts of the White House. Roger Porter's staff coordinated White\nHouse clearance of the environment section with OMB, White House\nCounsel and Andy Card.\nJim Cicconi has emphasized the need for formal clearance within\nthe White House complex of all future substantive documents\nrelating to the Summit. This again relates to last year's\nexperience where he thought the President and his key advisors\nwere brought into the picture much too late. We will work\nclosely with him through Bill Sittmann to ensure that all White\nHouse offices are informed about and comfortable with Summit\ndocumentation and procedures.\nAttachment\nTab I\nThematic Paper\n5/10/90\nHOUSTON ECONOMIC SUMMIT\nTHEMATIC PAPER\nI.\nINTRODUCTION\n1.\nSince the Heads of State and Government last met together at\nthe Arch Summit in July 1989, unprecedented political and\neconomic change has taken place in Eastern Europe, Central and\nSouth America, South Africa and the Soviet Union. Democratic\npluralism and market economies are replacing one-party regimes\nand command economies, although the progress varies by region and\ncountry. However, the concept of democracy and free markets as\nthe twin pillars of individual liberty and freedom is finding\nrenewed favor around the world.\n2.\nSummit leaders will need to address this remarkable change\nand the resulting unparalleled opportunities for a stable,\npeaceful and prosperous world. The Heads will need to\ndemonstrate leadership in ensuring that the political and\neconomic reforms take firm root and flourish. Where such a\ncommitment is lacking, as in many developing countries, Summit\nleaders will need to encourage, in firm and practical ways,\ngreater progress towards political and economic reform.\n3.\nThe Houston Economic Summit, therefore, offers Heads a\nunique opportunity to further the process of peaceful change and\ndemocratic institution-building and set a course for the world\neconomy for the 1990s and beyond.\nII. THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC SITUATION\n4.\nIn recent years, substantial progress has been achieved in\npromoting a stronger world economy. The robust economic\nexpansion in our countries, now in its eighth consecutive year,\nhas contributed to notable growth in per capita incomes and\nemployment. It has been supported by rapid growth of\ninternational trade, to the benefit of developing countries as\nwell. Inflation, although a matter of concern in some countries,\nhas remained generally moderate. Considerable reduction of\nexternal imbalances has occurred, particularly those of the\nUnited States and Japan. Nonetheless, additional adjustment\nprogress remains a priority.\n5.\nIn the developing world, the experience of the late 1980s\nvaried widely. Some economies, particularly in East Asia,\ncontinued to experience impressive domestic growth rates. The\neconomies of a number of other developing countries have been\nstagnant or declined for a number of reasons: poor domestic\neconomic policies, insufficient investment, capital flight,\ncommodity price developments and large external transfers.\nNonetheless, average growth in Africa and the Middle East has\nimproved since the mid 1980s, although African economic gains\ncontinued to lag behind population increases. Growth in several\nLatin American debtor countries has improved in the late 1980s.\nNew leadership with the courage to implement economic adjustment\nand free market policies in many of these countries should\nimprove the prospects for economic growth.\n3\n6.\nThe summit countries have developed a process of economic\npolicy coordination. It has contributed importantly to the\nrecord of success in the industrial countries. This process,\nthrough its indicator-based approach to multilateral\nsurveillance, represents the most effective means of improving\nthe functioning of the international monetary system. The Summit\ncountries, in refining this mechanism over the past five years,\nhave succeeded in enhancing understanding of the linkages among\neconomies. This has allowed the group to exercise effective\nmultilateral surveillance over economic performance and policies\nand has helped put in place the consistent and compatible\neconomic policies needed to achieve our shared objectives.\n7.\nThe summit nations should reaffirm their commitment to the\nprocess of international economic policy coordination as a key\nmeans of addressing global economic challenges in the period\nahead. Surplus and deficit countries alike have a shared\nresponsibility to contribute to sustained world growth, low\ninflation, and effective balance of payments adjustment.\nFulfillment of these shared responsibilities is a critical\nelement in addressing the present slowdown in the adjustment of\nexternal imbalances.\n8.\nTo sustain the present economic expansion to the benefit of\nall countries, each nation must pursue policies that will\ncontribute to global economic growth. Balanced expansion of\n4\ndemand with increasing productive capacity is key, while external\nimbalances and structural rigidities require correction. Price\npressures warrant continued vigilance.\n9.\nIn countries with large external surpluses, macroeconomic\npolicies should be set to ensure strong growth of domestic demand\nover the medium-term, with structural reforms to improve the\nunderlying conditions for growth and adjustment. Countries with\nsizeable fiscal and current account deficits should contribute to\nthe adjustment process by fiscal restraint and by increased\nprivate saving.\n10. Other countries have a clear and complementary role to play\nin the adjustment of global external imbalances and should pursue\nappropriate macroeconomic and structural policies. The Asian\nnewly industrializing economies should continue to assume greater\nresponsibilities in this area, in particular by increasing the\nopenness of their economies to goods, services, and capital.\n11. The restructuring of Eastern European economies should\nstimulate market-oriented growth and increase their integration\ninto the global economy. We should support these changes and\nseek to assure that the transformation will contribute to global\ngrowth and stability. In this regard, German monetary and\neconomic union, if properly managed, would contribute to improved\nnon-inflationary global growth and to a reduction of external\n5\nimbalances. This process would also promote positive economic\ndevelopments in Eastern Europe.\n12. Developments in financial markets should be kept under\nreview. Although the Japanese yen has stabilized recently, the\npresent level may well have undesirable consequences for the\nglobal adjustment process.\n13. The summit countries should support the agreement by the IMF\nBoard of Governors to increase IMF quotas by 50 percent under the\nNinth General Review of Quotas. The measures agreed during the\nquota review to strengthen the IMF arrears strategy should also\nbe endorsed.\n14. Structural Issues: Achieving the shared international\neconomic objectives requires that traditional macroeconomic\npolicies be complemented by structural reforms to increase\neconomic efficiency. Considerable progress has been made over\nthe past few years, especially in the areas of tax reform and\nfinancial market liberalization. Nevertheless, there is\nsubstantial scope and need for additional policy steps to address\npersistent structural deficiencies.\n15. In some of our countries, regulatory reform to promote\ncompetition is needed in key sectors such as retail trade,\ntelecommunications, and transportation. Similarly, ensuring\nhealthy financial market development and unimpeded foreign access\n6\nto domestic financial markets will require financial market\nreforms in some countries. Additional tax reform could\nstrengthen innovation and work incentives while reducing\ndistortions in savings and investment in all our countries.\nAlso, reducing public subsidies while increasing their\ntransparency will improve resource allocation and add flexibility\nto fiscal policy formulation. Finally, addressing inflexibility\nin labor markets would promote mobility and job creation, thus\nameliorating long-term unemployment.\n16. Further progress in implementing such reforms should be a\npriority. In this connection, the major contributions of the\nOECD in identifying structural policy challenges and options\nshould be welcomed. The OECD should build upon its past work,\nwith more frequent and comprehensive peer review of policies and\nprogress in OECD members.\nIII. THE MULTILATERAL TRADING SYSTEM\n17. Increasing economic prosperity since 1945 has depended on\nprogressive liberalization of the international trading system by\nopening markets and following agreed rules of conduct. The\nhighest trade priority of Summit countries is the successful\nconclusion this year of an ambitious, balanced and comprehensive\nagreement in the Uruguay Round. A failure of the Uruguay Round\ncould: (a) reinforce current tendencies toward regional blocs,\nmanaged trade, and discriminatory bilateral trade agreements; (b)\n7\nescalate trade tensions; and (c) undermine the nascent efforts of\ndeveloping countries to make the difficult transition to market\neconomies.\n18. Consequently, Heads must give clear instructions to their\nnegotiators to achieve substantial results in all areas: market\naccess, GATT rules, agriculture, trade-related investment, trade-\nrelated intellectual property protection and services. They\nshould direct their negotiators to produce provisional agreements\nin all areas of the negotiations at the July meeting of the Trade\nNegotiating Committee. To achieve this success, Heads must be\nwilling to devote the necessary effort and political will to\nensure their instructions are carried out expeditiously. Heads\nmay also wish to discuss institutional arrangements for managing\nour trading system after a successful conclusion of the Uruguay\nRound.\n19. Three issues merit particular attention: agriculture,\nindustrial subsidies and the integration of developing countries.\nA.\nAgriculture\n20. Achieving the long-term objective of fundamental reform in\nagriculture is the linchpin to the success of the Uruguay Round.\nFor some countries it is the only issue in the negotiations.\nWithout such reform, developed and developing countries for whom\nagricultural exports are an important source of export earnings\n8\nwill not participate in the new rules and disciplines negotiated\nin the Uruguay Round. For others, multilateral reform is\nnecessary for its own sake as well as garnering the necessary\nsupport to address other more difficult negotiating issues.\n21. Achieving fundamental agricultural reform, as agreed to by\nMinisters at the Uruguay Round's Mid-Term Review, will require\ncountries to commit to substantial progressive reductions in each\narea of the negotiations -- (i) internal support, (ii) export\nsubsidies, (iii) barriers to market access, and (iv) to develop\nnew rules governing sanitary and phytosanitary measures.\n22. Success will require reform at the national level. Current\npolicies, which tie support of farm income to the level of\nproduction, inevitably create huge surpluses that bloat national\nbudget expenditures, restrict market access, necessitate the use\nof export subsidies and create trade frictions. The level of\ntrade-distorting agricultural support and protection must be\nreduced and disciplined. Similarly, the role of market forces\nmust be enhanced to foster economic growth and welfare.\n23. Negotiations on how far and how fast support and production\nare to be reduced in each area must begin immediately if\nfundamental reform is to be secured by December. The results of\nthe negotiations must be translated into binding country programs\nthat yield quantifiable market liberalization. Such programs\nshould encompass substantial annual reductions in internal\n9\nsupports, the progressive elimination of export subsidies,\nincreased market access through annual reductions in trade\nbarriers and rules governing sanitary and phytosanitary measures.\n24. A successful outcome also must recognize the distinctive\nneeds of developing countries and deal with arguments based on\nfood security concerns.\nB.\nIndustrial Subsidies\n25. Greater liberalization of trade has increased the\ninternational distortions resulting from domestic industrial\nsubsidies. Current GATT rules do not adequately control such\nsubsidies, nor have they prevented competitive subsidization.\nIndustries should compete on the basis of comparative advantage\nand market forces, not government largesse.\n26. The Uruguay Round must produce new enforceable rules that\ndiscipline all trade-distorting subsidies. The new rules must\nstrengthen the current prohibition on export subsidies as well as\nextend that prohibition to domestic industrial subsidies that\ndistort trade. The new regime must define clearly the limited\ncircumstances in which government support might be permitted.\nThe improved discipline also must include effective remedies\nthat do not become barriers to legitimate trade.\n10\nC.\nThe Integration of Developing Countries\n27. The negotiations should ensure that developing countries\nreap the full trade-liberalizing benefits of the world trading\nsystem. Progressive trade liberalization and adherence to\nmarket-oriented rules have proven to be an effective path to\ngrowth and development. More specifically, benefits from the\nUruguay Round would include: the predictability brought about by\nstricter adherence to one set of rules by all parties; the\nexpansion of market opportunities in developed and other\ndeveloping country markets; and the attraction of investment and\ntechnology resulting from adherence to rules governing the new\nareas.\n28. The Uruguay Round should increase the overall level of\nrights and obligations in the trading system for all participants\nthrough: (a) a substantial reduction in tariffs and increase in\nthe percentage of tariffs that are bound; (b) balanced and\neffective restraints on all forms of exceptions, including\nmeasures imposed for balance-of-payments difficulties; and (c)\nmeaningful participation by all countries in agreements\nnegotiated on services, trade-related intellectual property\nissues, and trade-related investment measures. The end result\nshould be a single set of multilateral rules applicable to all\nGATT contracting parties, although developing countries may need\n11\nlonger transition periods or other transitional arrangements on a\ncase-by-case basis.\nIV. DIRECT INVESTMENT\n29. Foreign direct investment plays a vital role in promoting\nworld prosperity. By redirecting saving among countries, it\nhelps to move resources to their most productive use. Foreign\ninvestment provides jobs and helps transmit technology and\nproductive techniques. The financial, trade and technology links\nof foreign investment forge a global market place.\n30. Foreign direct investment can play an important role in\nmaintaining and improving the competitiveness of countries. An\nincreasing number of developing and East European countries are\nrecognizing the significant benefits that foreign direct\ninvestment can bring to help restructure their economies and\nraise their living standards.\n31. Protectionist pressures and policies which discourage\nforeign investment must be resisted. The OECD and the GATT have\nimportant roles to play in this regard. Governments should\nreview anti-trust policies, practices restricting shareholder\nvoting rights, tax laws and treaties, practices regarding access\nto financial markets, and other practices which restrict\nopportunities for foreign investment.\n12\nV.\nTIED AID\n32. Important negotiations are underway in the OECD on a\nbalanced package of measures to strengthen multilateral\ndisciplines on trade- and aid-distorting export credit subsidies.\nThis package should improve substantially discipline and\ntransparency over tied aid credits and eliminate remaining\nsubsidies in officially supported export credits. It is also\nimportant to avoid trade-distorting ties when offering aid to the\nnations of Eastern Europe.\nVI. EAST-WEST ECONOMIC RELATIONS\n33. Political reform in Eastern Europe has begun the process of\ndismantling of antiquated command economies and their replacement\nby market-oriented systems. At the recent CSCE Conference in\nBonn, the reforming countries of the region accepted most of the\nkey principles underpinning market economies. However, the\ndegree of commitment to economic reform varies widely by country.\n34. There are no historic precedents for a transition of this\nnature which will require, among other things, the establishment\nof efficient, functioning price systems, open markets, and the\nbreak-up of public monopolies to ensure that prices reflect true\ncosts and relative scarcities. But institutional changes\ninvolving property rights, judicial systems, and measures to\n13\npromote investor confidence also are essential to create the\nconditions for a successful transition to a market economy.\n35. OECD countries should assist those countries which are\nimplementing economic reform programs and instituting pluralistic\npolitical systems. Financial assistance to Eastern Europe should\nhelp lay the foundation for self-sustaining economic growth based\non free market principles. International financial and economic\ninstitutions including the IMF, IBRD, GATT, OECD, and the new\nEBRD should also help build that foundation. The Center for\nCooperation with European Economies in Transition at the OECD\nwill encourage reforms that may eventually make these nations\neligible for membership in the OECD. The G-24 coordination\nprocess has already made a significant contribution to Hungary\nand Poland, and the G-24 will perform similar functions in other\nemerging Eastern European democracies.\n36. Market-oriented economic systems are essential for the\nEastern European countries to participate in and fully benefit\nfrom the multilateral trading system. Those countries already in\nthe GATT can demonstrate their commitment to reform by supporting\nan ambitious set of agreements in the Uruguay Round.\n37. East and Central European countries that have adopted\nmeaningful economic reform programs should be eligible for\nmembership in the IMF and IBRD. Membership in these institutions\nwill reinforce the process of economic reform and help these\n14\ncountries integrate their economies more closely into the\nadvanced industrialized world.\n38. The private sector must play the major role in the\ndevelopment of these economies. Private direct investment and\nother capital will flow to those reforming countries with open\nmarkets and hospitable investment climates. Western governments\ncan support this process through negotiation of trade and\ninvestment agreements with interested countries.\nVII. THE DEVELOPING NATIONS\n39. A number of developing economies have achieved major\nsuccesses. In South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore,\nreal product rose at an average annual rate of 7.6 percent during\nthe decade of the 1980s. In a number of countries, major changes\nin both macroeconomic and microeconomic policies are\nstrengthening the growth process. Some countries, such as Mexico\nand Chile, have been restructuring their economies with\nencouraging results. Solid, though less impressive, growth\noccurred in other countries, including Indonesia and Colombia.\nFor the developing world as a whole, however, the 1980s cannot be\nconsidered a successful decade. In a number of nations, real per\ncapita output declined.\n40. There is no single cause for the disappointing economic\nperformance of some nations. Weak macroeconomic policies,\n15\nprotectionism, political instability, and inefficient statist\neconomic systems were among the factors leading to lack of new\ninvestment funds, capital flight, high levels of debt, and\neconomic stagnation.\n41. Countries with large government deficits, extensive\nparastatal sectors, rapid monetary growth, import barriers and\nunrealistic exchange and interest rates are unlikely to achieve\nstability and growth, or to gain the full benefits of\ninternational trade. They not only have difficulty attracting\nforeign capital, domestic capital may flee. Important\ncontributions to a hospitable investment climate can be made by\nthe protection of intellectual property, transparent and\nequitable investment rules, and equality of treatment for foreign\nand domestic investors.\n42. The advanced industrial economies can make a number of major\ncontributions to the long-run development of the developing\ncountries. By sustaining economic growth and price stability, we\ncan offer stable, growing markets and sources of capital for the\ndeveloping world. By providing adequate financial and technical\nsupport, both bilaterally and multilaterally, to those developing\ncountries undertaking genuine political and economic reform, we\ncan reinforce their ongoing liberalization. A successful Uruguay\nRound is essential for industrialized and developing countries\nalike.\n16\n43. The poorest of the developing nations must remain the focus\nof special attention. The IDA replenishment of SDR11. 6 billion,\nagreed to last December, will provide needed resources for these\ncountries, and marks the incorporation of environmental concerns\ninto development lending.\nVIII.\nTHIRD WORLD DEBT\n44. Significant progress has been made during the past year\nunder the strengthened debt strategy, which has renewed the\nresolve in a number of debtor countries to continue economic\nreforms essential to future growth. In particular, the recent\ncommercial bank agreements with Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico,\nMorocco, the Philippines, and Venezuela involve significant debt\nand debt service reduction. Important financial support for debt\nand debt service reduction is being provided by the IMF and the\nWorld Bank, as well as by Japan and a few other countries. The\nParis Club has agreed to provide multiyear reschedulings, as\nappropriate, to support medium term reform and financing\nprograms. The combination of debtor reform efforts and\ncommercial bank debt reduction has had a notable impact on\nconfidence in debtor economies, as clearly demonstrated through\nflows of both new investment and the return of flight capital in\nMexico, in particular.\n45. These measures represent major innovations in the\ninternational debt strategy designed to encourage stronger growth\n17\nand improved management of commercial bank debt servicing\nproblems over the medium term. They are potentially available to\nall debtor nations with serious debt servicing problems.\n46. The Heads should reaffirm their strong support for the\nstrengthened strategy and encourage debtor countries, the\ninternational financial institutions, and commercial banks to\ncontinue to implement the strategy on a case-by-case basis.\n47. The adoption by debtor nations of strong economic reform\nprograms with the IMF and World Bank remains at the heart of the\ndebt strategy, and a prerequisite for debt and debt service\nreduction within commercial bank financing packages. As\ncommercial banks move to restructure and reduce their outstanding\nclaims, it is vital that debtor countries adopt measures to\nmobilize savings and to encourage new investment flows and the\nrepatriation of flight capital to help sustain their recovery.\nLiberalization of investment regimes is a key element for success\nof this effort.\n48. Commercial banks should take realistic and constructive\napproaches in their negotiations with debtor countries and move\npromptly to conclude agreements on financial packages including\ndebt reduction, debt service reduction, and new money.\n49. Creditor nations should continue to play an important role\nin this process through ongoing contributions to the\n18\ninternational financial institutions, multiyear rescheduling of\nofficial debt in the Paris Club, and new export finance.\n50. Several Summit governments have also moved during the past\nyear to clarify or modify elements of tax, accounting, and\nregulatory regimes to facilitate commercial bank debt and debt\nservice reduction. Creditor governments have also provided\nspecial support for the poorest countries through the\nimplementation of Toronto terms in Paris Club reschedulings and\nthrough direct cancellations of debt in several instances, and\nwill continue to do so.\nIX. THE ENVIRONMENT\n51. Heads should discuss principles for environmental\nprotection, including environmental stewardship, sustainable\ndevelopment (i.e., assuring that economic growth can be\nmaintained over the long term, consistent with environmental\nprotection), and market-oriented approaches.\n52. Heads should also address the international nature of\nenvironmental issues. A framework for this discussion could\ninvolve the role of existing international organizations and\nstate to state channels as well as the importance of\ninternational environmental law, including efforts to conclude\nthe Siena Forum on International Law of the Environment. The\nindustrialized nations may also want to discuss their potential\n19\nroles in assisting with environmental protection efforts in\nEastern Europe and in the developing nations through development\nassistance and the transfer of environmentally sound\ntechnologies. The role of the private sector and of multilateral\ndevelopment banks (MDBs) in assisting in environmentally sound\ndevelopment could also be discussed. Programs to protect\ntropical forests and promote energy efficiency and provisions for\nenvironmental impact assessments and environmental action plans\nshould be part of this discussion.\n53. We should promote cooperative environmental scientific\nresearch and analysis efforts. Heading the agenda could be\npriority setting for environmental research programs, including\nglobal climate change research, the coordination of data from\nEarth observation satellites in conjunction with the\nInternational Space Year 1992, and the guaranteeing of free and\nopen exchanges of monitoring and other scientific data related to\nthe global environment.\n54. Heads will wish to discuss as well economic research and\nanalysis on the potential impact of global climate change on\ndeveloped and developing countries. The ongoing efforts of the\nIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and of the OECD to\ndevelop and provide environmental indicators and to assess on a\nworldwide basis the economic costs, benefits and other human\nimplications of alternative net greenhouse gas response\nstrategies could be useful examples for this discussion.\n20\n55. Heads may want to discuss an environmental action agenda on\nprograms and policies to improve the quality of the Earth's air,\nland and water. A number of response strategies could be\ndiscussed to combat atmospheric pollution. They include:\nefforts by individual governments to set realistic pollution\nemissions goals; energy conservation and market-based incentive\napproaches; efforts to adopt a sound framework convention on\nclimate change; the Noordwijk Declaration's recognition of the\nneed to stabilize emissions of green house gases, while ensuring\nstable development of the world economy; and the Montreal\nProtocol negotiations to phase-out the use of all\nchloroflourocarbons by the year 2000.\n56. Concerning efforts to preserve the precious resources of the\nland, Heads may wish to discuss a number of proactive measures.\nThey include: strengthening and improving the Tropical Forestry\nAction Plan; continuing development and implementation of the\naction plan of the International Tropical Timber Organization to\nhelp emphasize sustainable forest management and improve market\noperations; initiating and expanding projects to preserve\nbiological diversity, establish and maintain protected areas, and\nimplement more effective resource management systems outside\nprotected areas; and implementing wetlands preservation standards\nand programs consistent with the Ramsar Convention.\n21\n57. Efforts to protect the environment do not stop at water's\nedge. In recognition of the importance that the industrial\nnations ascribe to the planet's oceans, Heads may want to focus\non proposals for protecting the unique environment of the seas.\nAmong the topics that could be discussed include: updating and\nexpanding the UNEP Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of\nMarine Pollution report on the health of the oceans; working to\nprevent maritime oil spills and to contain and alleviate the\nconsequences of spills when they occur; and assisting developing\ncountries in preparing for and responding to catastrophic oil\nspills.\nX. ENERGY\n58. Reliable supplies of safe, competitively priced energy are\nessential to non-inflationary growth in all countries. Energy\nmarkets continue to adjust in response to economic and energy\ndevelopments of both OECD and non-OECD markets. However, renewed\ngrowth in the global demand for oil may result in a tighter oil\nsupply/demand balance in coming years. Consequently, existing\nOECD policies to improve our energy security, including emergency\npreparedness, strategic oil stocks, improved energy efficiency,\ndiversification of energy supply and enhanced energy R&D, must be\nmaintained.\n59. Nuclear energy is, and will continue to be, an important\ncontributor to OECD energy supply and can play a significant role\n22\nin reducing the growth of greenhouse gas emissions. Summit\ncountries should continue efforts to ensure highest performance\nstandards, both within the OECD and among developing countries,\nfor nuclear and other energy technologies in order to protect\nhealth, safety and the environment.\nXI. NARCOTICS\n60. Following a series of meetings over the last year and the\nwork of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), three areas merit\ncontinuing attention: general, cocaine and heroin issues.\n61. From a general perspective, ratification of the UN\nConvention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and\nPsychotropic Substances (the Vienna Convention) should be\nexpedited. The Convention represents a significant step toward\ndealing with the drug trade around the world. Summit countries\nshould pledge to complete ratification this year, setting an\nexample for others. We urge all governments to amend domestic\nlegislation, if necessary, and to apply provisionally the terms\nof the Convention.\n62. We support the declaration adopted at the Ministerial\nmeeting on drugs convened by the United Kingdom that drug demand\nreduction should be accorded the same importance in policy and\naction as the reduction of illicit supply. Developed countries\nshould adopt stronger prevention efforts, not only in their\n23\nmaterial support for drug awareness and other prevention-oriented\ninitiatives, but also to assist demand reduction initiatives in\nother countries, especially producer and transit countries.\n63. The Heads should endorse the report of the FATF and urge\nprompt implementation by all the participants and call all\nnations to consider adopting and implementing the 40\nrecommendations of this report. The Heads should reconvene the\ngroup for another year and invite the French to continue to chair\nthe Task Force. The reconvened group would further share\nmembers' experiences with money laundering methods and\ninvestigatory techniques. It could report to the next Summit on\n(1) the status of implementation of the recommendations, (2) how\nbest to expand the application to other countries, including\nwhether to expand the Task Force to include other countries,\nparticularly other financial centers, and (3) what mechanisms are\nneeded for continuing review and action against money laundering.\n64. In order to curb the production of cocaine, heroin, and\nother illicit drugs and psychotropic substances, a more\naggressive campaign should be adopted to ensure that the\nprecursor chemicals are not diverted to manufacture these\nsubstances. A Summit task force similar to the FATF should\naddress this problem and report to next year's Summit. The task\nforce would work toward an international consensus on regulations\nand controls on the trade in essential and precursor chemicals.\nBoth our efforts in this area and with regard to money laundering\n24\nsupport the Vienna Convention and would place our governments in\nan important leadership role.\n65. Summit Heads should take note of the Declaration of\nCartagena which lays out a viable strategy for attacking the\ncocaine trade. It would be helpful if the Summit could endorse\nthe Declaration and support Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia with\neconomic, law enforcement and other assistance and advice.\nSummit partners and other members of the Financial Action Task\nForce should, as requested in Cartagena, consider sharing seized\ndrug assets with Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru in conjunction with\nseizures based on information provided by those countries.\n66. Regarding heroin, the situation is becoming much worse as\ncountries such as Myanmar and Afghanistan continue to expand\nopium production. While cocaine may be the principal drug\nproblem in the U.S., heroin represents a more serious threat in\nEurope. We should consider measures for dealing with heroin,\nincluding expanded information sharing, expanded support for\ninternational institutions, and possibly a Summit task force on\nthe heroin trade.\n67. Finally, we should consider whether to form an informal\nnarcotics consultative arrangement with developed countries\nactive in international narcotics control. Such a group could\nstrengthen cooperation in efforts to reduce supply and demand and\ncould seek to improve the international flow of information.\nCONFIDENTIAL\nRECORD ID: 9003916\nNSC/S PROFILE\nRECEIVED: 16 MAY 90 13\nTO: SCOWCROFT\nCHRON FILE\nFROM: SITTMANN\nDOC DATE: 16 MAY 90\nVAN ERON\nSOURCE REF:\nKEYWORDS: HS\nCHINA P R\nof\nGREAT BRITAIN\nGERMANY FR\nHUNGARY\nURUGUAY\nPERSONS: YANG SHANGKUN\nTHATCHER, MARGARET\nKOHL, HELMUT\nNEMETH, MIKLOS\nSUBJECT: HEADS OF STATE CORRESPONDENCE SUMMARY FOR MAY 16\nACTION: NOTED BY PRES W/ COMMENTS\nDUE DATE: 19 MAY 90\nSTATUS: C\nSTAFF OFFICER: VAN ERON\nLOGREF: 9003789 9003791\nFILES: WH\nNSCP:\nCODES:\nDOCUMENT DISTRIBUTION\nFOR ACTION\nFOR CONCURRENCE\nFOR INFO\nCLARK\nDECLASSIFIED\nWhite House Guidelines\nE.O. 12958, SEC 3.4 (B) September 11, 2006\nBy CAP NARA, Date 7/13/09\nCOMMENTS:\nDISPATCHED BY\nDATE\nBY HAND W/ATTCH\nOPENED BY: NSMDC\nCLOSED BY: NSMDC\nDOC 1 OF 1\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\nRECORD ID: 9003916\nACTION DATA SUMMARY REPORT\nDOC ACTION OFFICER\nCAO ASSIGNED ACTION REQUIRED\n001 SCOWCROFT\nZ 90051619 FWD TO PRES FOR INFORMATION\n001\nX 90052220 NOTED BY PRES W/ COMMENTS\nDECLASSIFIED\nWhite House Guidelines\nE.O. 12958, SEC 3.4 (B) September 11, 2006\nBy CAP NARA, Date 7/13/09\nCONF IDENTIAL\nWithdrawal/Redaction Sheet\n(George Bush Library)\nDocument No.\nSubject/Title of Document\nDate\nRestriction\nClass.\nand Type\n04a.

Discussions focused on\nfive issues: the Houston theme, the environment, trade, Eastern\nEurope and developing countries.\n1.\nHouston Theme\nAll G-7 countries agree that Houston should stress democracy and\nfree markets and that the communique should have strong language\nsupporting this. Along those lines, NSC staff are working on a\nproposed Charter for Democracy and Growth, which would set forth\ngeneral principles to promote market-based growth\ninternationally.\n2.\nEnvironment\nThe environment, which Kohl, Thatcher, Mitterrand and Mulroney\nall wish to highlight at Houston, risks being divisive unless we\ncan bridge serious differences, particularly on steps to deal-\nwith global climate change (CO2 and ozone) and assistance to\ndeveloping countries. The other Sherpa teams sharply criticized\nthe approach outlined in our thematic paper as inadequate and\nunresponsive to growing political pressure in their countries for\nstrong action on the environment. The Europeans and Canada want\na commitment for a framework climate change convention by 1992,\nalong with a CO2 protocol. They also support an environmental\nfund in the World Bank, as well as an action plan to deal with\ntropical deforestation. As next month's London conference on\namending the Montreal Protocol to the Vienna Convention\napproaches, we will be under increasing pressure to reverse our\ndecision not to contribute financially to a fund to transfer\nCFC-reducing technology to developing countries. The British and\nGerman Sherpas indicated that Thatcher and Kohl will be writing\nyou to stress the importance of a strong environmental statement\nat Houston.\nDECLASSIFIED\nPER E.O. 13526\n2010-077-142\nEs 3/4/15\nCC:\nVice President\nCONFIDENTIAL\nChief of Staff\nDeclassify on: OADR\nCONFIDENTIAL\n2\n3.\nTrade\nWe stressed that the Uruguay Round will be a key issue at Houston\nand that success of the round depends on agriculture. The\nEuropeans (except the British) would be content with bland,\nhortatory language which does not commit their governments to an\nambitious outcome. Canada shares our view that Summit leaders\nmust give clear instructions to the negotiators and provide the\npolitical muscle to ensure that they are carried out\nexpeditiously and completely. Agriculture, industrial subsidies\nand integrating the developing countries into the GATT are the\nkey issues. You will be pressed to give up our unilateral\nmeasures (Section 301 and certain provisions of the 1988 Trade\nAct) in return for improved multilateral dispute settlement\nprocedures.\n4.\nEastern Europe\nAll countries agree that the G-7 should continue to work closely\nwith Eastern Europe to ensure that democracy and market forces\ntake root. The Europeans were preoccupied at this meeting with\nthe economic situation in the Soviet Union and took almost every\nopportunity to turn the discussion back to that question. They\nwant the Houston Summit to send an economic message to Gorbachev,\nbut are uncertain yet about the content. Some believe Gorbachev\nwill send you a message and others suggested that, as host, the\nV.S. should offer to brief Gorbachev on the outcome. Our\ndelegation demurred on the latter point, but indicated that we\nwould expect to reply to any message from Gorbachev as Mitterrand\ndid at Paris. The Japanese remain skeptical of Soviet intentions\nin East Asia and consequently remain wary about doing anything\nthat appears to \"help\" Gorbachev.\n5.\nDeveloping Countries\nThe G-7 will be under pressure to reassure the non-Eastern Europe\ndeveloping countries that we have not forgotten them. In\ngeneral, aid to Eastern Europe has not come at the expense of\ndeveloping countries, but that fact is not understood. All the\nSherpas agreed that Houston should send the message that similar\nsupport would be available to other developing countries, if\nthey, too, undertake genuine political and economic reforms. On\ndebt, there was an animated, sophisticated discussion about the\neventual need for donor governments to provide some relief on\noutstanding official debt. The Brady plan's success in reducing\nthe burden of commercial debt had highlighted the importance of\nsimilar action on the official side. However, any action here\nwould have important budgetary implications. In all discussions\nabout debt, the Europeans referred repeatedly to the situation in\nEast Europe, particularly Poland, another indication of Western\nEuropean preoccupation with events closer to home.\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\n4172\nNATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL\nWASHINGTON, D.C. 20506\nMay 29, 1990\nOur staff\nACTION\nsays we\nMEMORANDUM FOR BRENT SCOWCROFT\nshould\nTHROUGH:\nTIMOTHY E.

We are\nisolated from our Summit colleagues on the environment. Nigel\nWicks (UK) and Horst Kohler (Germany) said Thatcher and Kohl\nwould probably write the President, urging that we be more\nforthcoming on this issue. We will need the President's active\ninvolvement to get something substantive on trade at Houston.\nEuropean interest in East-West issues, particularly the\ndeteriorating economic situation in the Soviet Union and Poland's\nindebtedness, was intense.\nWe will now revise the thematic paper in light of the Paris\nmeeting.

The meeting was originally set up for the 5th but Mr. Gorbatchev\nhad asked me to postpone it. Our discussions went on for around five\nhours.\nThe majority of this time was devoted to the problems which will\narise as a result of German unification, a matter which is clearly of\ngreat concern to him.\nHis hostility to the participation of an unified Germany into\nNATO does not appear to me as being either fake or tactical. On this\nsubject, he is both firm and determined. He even gives an indication that\nshould he have to face a ' fait accompli', he would be compelled to\nalter his behavior on many issues, particularly on disarmament in\nEurope. His commentary aims at rejecting beforehand on the Western\npowers the responsibility of the imbalance of forces which would\nensue, and as a result of tensions to come.\nI have argued that it was not reasonable to think of another solution\nthan the one of Germany 's participation in the Atlantic Alliance, and\nI indicated that, on the Western side, we would certainly not refuse\nto detail the guarantees that he would have a right to expect for\nhis country's security. I then mentioned some of the possible guarantees\nthat I deem important after the conclusion of a peace settlement in\nInternational law. Mr. Gorbatchev was paying a great deal of attention\nto my presentation.\nI think that we must try to dispel Mr. Gorbatchev's worries. I\nwill present to you and to our partners a number of proposals when\nwe meet.\nMr. Gorbatchev and I also talked about Lithuania.\nMr. Gorbatchev is open to a dialogue, but is not ready to give up on\nfundamentals. He keeps on insisting that the Lithuanians renounce\ntheir vote of independence. It seems to me that he does not rule out\na negotiation, but it would have to take place after a certain delay.\nIn brief, my impression is that Mikhail Gorbatchev does not\nhave much of a margin of maneuver left when it comes to the question\nof nationalities ( Baltic states) or of the consequences of German\nunity. Regarding this last point the calendar contemplated by Helmut Kohl\nwill encounter, in my opinion, serious obstacles. I assume that your\nconversation with the Soviet president will be essentially on this\nsubject. The usual course of diplomacy will not prevent a difficult\nclimate in the summer and in the fall.\n-2-\nMr. Gorbatchev appeared however to be well aware of the difficulties\nof all kinds that he will have to expect, particularly in terms of economy,\nbut at the same time confident in his approach. I believe that he is truly\nhoping for an agreement, but within the limit of his power.\nI look forward, My Dear President, to the prospect of seeing you\nsoon in Great Britain, and later in Houston. In the meantime, you will have\nmet with Mr. Gorbatchev. We will have the opportunity to talk about it.\nI dont't forget either the extreme interest and the pleasure I had\nin meeting you in Key Largo, and I thank you for your hospitality.\nFrançois Mitterrand\nCHER GEORGE,\n4308\nCOMME VOUS LE SAVEZ J'AI RENCONTRE MIKHAIL GORBATCHEV A\nMOSCOU LE 25 MAI DERNIER, RENDEZ-VOUS FIXE POUR LE 5 ET QUE\nM.

Since\ncuestions related to Afghanistan will be discussed in your meeting,\nI would like to bring to the notice of Your Excellency some conside-\nnations on the part of the government of the Republic of Afghansitan.\nIt seems that a full agreement of views on searching a peaceful\nsolution to the Afghan problems and on achieving a nation peace\nthrough universal, equal, free, secret, and direct elections has\nbeen reached. To this end, the start of negotiation and dialogue\namomg all the Afghan sides, who sincerely advocate peace, under\nthe condition of a ceasefire and by the cooperation of the United\nNations is in dispensable.\nNegotiation would pave the way for convening a national peace\nconference with the assistance of the United Nations and with the\nparticipation of all Afghan parties concerned. The conference will\nagree on the principle of preservation and consolidation of the\nindependence, territorial integrity, national sovereignity and unity,\nIslamic and non-aligned characters of Afghanistan, and on guaranteeing\nthe human rights and freedoms of the entire Afghans. The conference\nwill also set up a coordinating committee to make preparations for\nthe convocation of the Loya Jirgah and the General Elections. The\ncommittee, in turn, will create commissions to draft the constitution\nand the electoral law, and will act on the basis of consensus.\nIn that juncture, it would be reasonable that a meeting is\ncalled with the participation of the signatories to and co-guarantors\nof the Geneva Accords, and turn to discuss the feasible and effective\nmethods of compliance with the Accords through an international super-\nvision over the Afghan borders, and assess provision of international\n/ 2\n- 2 -\nassistance to Afghanistan. The Afghan delegation to the meeting\nwill be appointed by the coordinating committee. The meeting will\n3 SO pave the way for convening a broader international conference\n: reassert the legal status of Afghanistan's permanent neutrality\n$ 0 its demilitarization through a complete and overall termination\nof arms delivery, accumulation of the existing weapons in the country,\nand an effective international supervision over the Afghan frothier.\nThe results of the conference must, of course, be ratified by the\nLoya Jirgah of Afghanistan and incorporated in the new consitution.\nThe elective Loya Jirgah will be convened in conformity with\nthe Afghan tradition, and among other things will elect the President\ny the Republic and ratify the new constitution and the electoral\nlaw, according to which general elections will be held and a new\ngovernment will be formed. An international supervision over the\nwhole process of elections will be maintained and proper securities\nand freedoms guaranteed for all Afghans in all corners of the country.\nThe elections will begin in the peaceful regions and the domain of\npeace zones will be widened with the help of the United Nations.\nIn order to assert the genuine will of the Afghan people, it\nis necessary that Afghan refugees return home before the elections\nreld. The mechanism for ceasefire should be adjusted in such\na way that it would contribute to the repatriation of Afghan refugees\non the one hand, and rule out the possibility of any use of force\nduring the elections, on the other.\nI should stress that a transition period shall begin when the\nprocess of negotiation is set out, and shall end when the results\nof the elections and the formation of a new government which must\nbe respected by all sides are announced.\nExcellency, I sincerely believe that having such a peace stra-\ntegy, one can overcome the atmosphere of mistrust, and remove with\npatience, concession and cooperation all the barriers in the way\nof ensuring a lasting and just peace. We expect you as the leader\nof the most powerful country in the world to make any efforts to\nput an end to the calamities and griefs of the suffering people of\nAfghanistan. You eill not allow, I am confident, the opportunity\nprovided by your forthcoming meeting with the Soviet leader to be\nwasted.\nPlease accept, Your Excellency, my best wishes for your good\nhealth and further success.\nNAJIBULLAH\nPresident of the Republiv\nof Afghanistan\nHis Excellency George BUSH\nPresident of the United States\nWashington, D.C.\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\n6-1-90\nDATE:\nPatty\nBill,\nPrice\nFROM THE PRESIDENT\nTo:\nNeed to send\nGuillenmo\nEndara a\nwedding present t\n(cable)\nJune 10 the\nMarrying\nAna Mae Diaz Chen\nsee tab D\nMFR: THE ORIGINAL PRES NOTE ALONG WITH COPY OF CABLE WAS SENT TO\nBILL PRYCE FOR APPROPRIATE ACTION. 6/4/90.
