sculpture ceremony
Wilma please pass to Florence and the General
The General agreed to accept a model of a Soviet sculpture on behalf of the
President. The sculpture was dedicated by Shevardnadze and Baker in New York in
September. (The sculptor is one of Shevardnadze's best friends apparently).
The sculptor wanted to come in September but with the President's UNGA schedule
we were unable to work it out. Ambassador Bessmertnykh called me today to say
that the sculptor is in the country again and wants to present the sculpture on
Wednesday. (Shevardnadze is meeting with the President that afternoon and
Bessmertnykh recommended a "ceremony" following the President's meeting.) They
are still more than willing to have Brent receive the statue on behalf of the
President.
The Soviets want to bring their own television cameras and press to this
"event". We could arrange a brief photo op (with their press) in the Roosevelt
room or even in Brent's office immediately after the Shevardnadze-President
meeting. The Ambassador does not know if Shevardnadze wants to attend, but it
would probably be better to discourage that and just have Brent receive the
sculpture on behalf of the President. If Shevy insists, he and Baker could
stand by.
Another alternative is to have the sculptor simply come into the Oval before or
after the Shevardnadze meeting and present the sculpture to the President himsel
In any case, I need guidance and should get back to Bessmertnykh as soon as
possible.
Thanks.

SUBJECT:
Points for Burney
By SS NARA, Date 3/5/24
Issues Derek Burney May Raise
U.S./Mexico/Canada FTA
Burney wrote Scowcroft Nov. 29 complaining that statements
made prior to and during President's visit to Mexico cast doubt
on our commitment to try to include Canada in the U.S./Mexico
FTA.
-- Burney is being too sensitive. Remarks were made to a
Mexican audience. Mexico has always been reluctant to turn a
bilateral accord into a trilateral one, although she is
reluctantly going along.
-- Our position has not changed from what the President told
Mulroney in September. We are commited to negotiating bilateral
FTA with Mexico by end 1991; we are willing to make it a
trilateral agreement if, and only if, Canada can meet this
schedule. Mexico agrees with this approach.
-- Burney implies in his letter that we are already committed
to a trilateral accord. Our commitment is to try to work out
arrangements for such an accord, if Canada can meet our timetable
with Mexico.
-- Hills, Serra and Crosbie have been talking about how best to
achieve trilateral approach. There is an informal end-Janaury 91
deadline for Canada to decide whether she wants to go all the way
with us on a trilateral approach.
-- Hills, Serra and Crosbie were supposed to meet this week in
Brussels to continue discussions. Do not know if meeting took
place.
Acid Rain
--
U.S. and Canada have had four rounds of negotiations on an
acid rain accord, the latest this week in Washington.
--
There is now an agreed text.
--
Before agreement can be signed, State needs to consult with
the Hill and other interested parties. It expects this could be
done by early January.
--
Canadians would prefer to have Bush/Mulroney sign agreement
this month.

General Brent Scowcroft
Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs
The White House
Room 1, West Wing
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Brent,
I am a bit puzzled by recent public remarks
attributed both to President Bush and un-named U.S.
officials regarding Canada's status in the trilateral trade
discussions. (Attached is an excerpt from written answers
prepared in the President's name prior to the Monterrey
meeting, a Washington Post reference to that interview, and
a news report of the meeting carried by the Wall Street
Journal). I understand incidentally that similarly
ambivalent views were expressed yesterday in Washington at
briefings given by officials to representatives of the U.S.
private sector.
Frankly, these comments inject a note of
hesitancy, if not doubt, about Canada's status. While the
sentiment reflected may have had some validity two months
ago I had thought that, as a result of agreement at the
level of Ministers and meetings involving senior trade
officials, a clearer consensus was firmly in place. We were
pleased that President Salinas reflected this consensus in
his public remarks at Monterrey.
If there continue to be doubts in the U.S.
Administration about Canada's role in trilateral
negotiations I would welcome an opportunity to respond
directly.
Yours sincerely,
Denr
D.H. Burney
Ambassador

President Bush:
Now, as you are probably aware, Canada has expressed an
interest in broadening our discussions with Mexico from
bilateral to trilateral. Mexico and the United States have
agreed to discuss this with Canada, to see if a trilateral
agreement is feasible. I want to reiterate one point,
however; we have made a commitment to Mexico to conclude a
free trade agreement. We want to do this as quickly as
possible. If we can broaden this agreement to include
Canada, that will be fine. If an attempt to broaden the
process turns out not to be workable, or would produce
unacceptable delays, then we will proceed bilaterally with
Mexico.
One final point -- the purpose of a free trade agreement
with Mexico (or a broader agreement including Canada) is not
to create trading "blocs" to compete with other trading
areas. The goal is to enhance world trade by expanding
regional trade and making it more effective and efficient.
We intend to lower barriers to trade, not to raise them.
Q:
The United States seems to be the only world Superpower left
in an age of regional powers, but there are growing doubts
that the U.S. will be able to maintain that role. Do you
think that the U.S. will have to adjust and become a
regional power?
A:
Rather than trying to make comparisons about who is a
"superpower" and who is a "regional power, ff I think it is
more productive to consider whether the United States is
using the power it has to enhance peace in the world.
On this score, I think that the record is clear. We stood
for democracy and decolonization following World War II. We
stood firm against post-war expansionism, supporting our
allies as they reconstructed and became strong again. We
promoted the integration of Europe. We have stood firm in
our support for democracy, economic development, and human
rights in the western hemisphere and throughout the world.
With the end of the Cold War, all countries, including the
United States, are looking for new ways to enhance democracy
and stability, promote prosperity, and create mechanisms for
resolving international disputes. I am just back from a
conference in Paris, where we have made another major
advance in our efforts to limit conventional forces in
Europe. We have worked on this for years, but our efforts
now hold out the promise to reduce significantly the
military forces in Central Europe.

SUBJECT:
EPC Meeting on the Uruguay Round
Please pass to General Scowcroft:
Supplementing Eric Melby's earlier message, we think it would be
highly useful if the EPC could discuss and decide on the elements
of a final U.S. position which, as you know, has been unclear to
date. We should confirm the acceptability of the Swedish
(30-30-30) proposal on agriculture and our willingness to accept
MFN in services. Once our position is settled, it will be much
easier to shape our negotiating strategy and tactics vis-a-vis
the EC.
We believe it would be a mistake for the EPC to leap-frog the
question of the substance of our position and try instead to
devise tactics. We need to discuss with you some significant
questions regarding how we would like to see agriculture dealt
with at the EC Summit on December 14, as well as what sort of
Presidential diplomacy makes sense. We have little confidence
that the EPC will be well suited to addressing such tactical
issues, which in any case should be informed by greater clarity
on the substance of an acceptable outcome of the negotiations.

SUBJECT:
EPC on Uruguay Round
Please pass the following to the General in lieu of a briefing
memo for this morning's 10 AM EPC on the Uruguay Round. There is
no paper for the EPC.
Carla Hills will report on the Brussels meeting. Yeutter,
Mosbacher and Porter, who were also there, will probably add
their views. We have learned nothing new to add to the memos
Tim Deal sent you last week. Carla Hills has been low-key in her
reaction to the failure of the Brussels talks.
At the EPC, it would be useful to have Hills identify clearly the
remaining differences in the other key sectors (e.g. services,
investment, intellectual property rights, textiles).
On next steps, there are two general approaches: (a) we sit low,
assess how other countries are reacting to the suspension of
talks and re-iterate our readiness to resume talks as soon as the
EC indicates a willingness to move on agriculture; or (b) take a
more interventionist tack, using, for example, the Dec. 14-15
Rome EC Summit to push the EC (probably through Major) to show
flexibility.
In either event, we need to consider what role, if any, we forsee
for the President. He has already invested much time and effort
in trying to move the process along, but to date Kohl,
Mitterrand, Delors and the others in the EC have not shown equal
interest in a significant Uruguay Round package.
Further intervention in the form of Presidential phone calls and
messages keeps us in the role of demandeur, implying we have more
at stake in a successful Round than either the Europeans or the
Japanese. Perhaps we ought to let the pressure on the Europeans
and Japanese build, respond to any messages received but not take
the initiative -- at least not yet.
Tim Deal and I lean toward a less activist approach until the air
clears and the pressure on our leading partners begins to mount.
Dave Gompert and Adrian Basora believe we should continue to push
our views and not give up opportunities such as the EC Summit.
Before the EPC was scheduled, we had arranged a meeting with you
at 11:30 am to discuss alternative strategies. We would still
like to meet with you to discuss next steps.
We have tubed over an editorial on the Round from today's
Financial Times.

DATE:
November 5, 1990
I remind you of our next meeting, scheduled for Saturday,
December 8th, at the usual time of 10:00 a.m., and at the usual
place, the Metropolitan Club (17th and H Streets, N.W., Washington,
D.C.).
I enclose a formal invitation from Johnnie Hanes, to conform
to Club rules, as well as our agenda.
With some hesitation, I also enclose our secret ballot to
bring with you (or send it, if you wish, if you are unable to
attend). In response to several suggestions, it has some minor
changes. I recognize that the institutions of this group have been
unchanging. However, in a world of unprecedented change, perhaps,
we, too, should make some gesture in that direction.
Sincerely

SUBJECT:
Watkins Request for Mtg.
Florence: Tim and I support Watkins' request for a meeting with
the General on the National Energy Strategy (NES) if his schedule
permits. Watkins wants to run through the points he plans to make
at the first EPC meeting. He has had similar meetings with other
EPC members.
Scowcroft need only listen. However, we would give him several
points where we believe the NES is weak or does not cover clearly,
viz:
--
what are our goals and objectives for the NES?
--
how do we mesh national security objective of reducing share
of oil in the economy with reliance on market forces?
--
what is role of our international strategy (IEA, etc.) in the
NES?
:
How do NES options track with existing Administration energy
strategies?
Should we not have more forceful position on nuclear power?
Watkins meeting would also be opportunity for Scowcroft to ask him
what he plans to accomplish on his proposed Dec. 1-4 trip to Saudi
Arabia and UAE.

SUBJECT:
Reply to Howard Baker's Request that the President
Meet with Ju Yung Chung
Senator Baker requested a meeting between you and the Honorary
Chairman of Hyundai, Ju Yung Chung, plus a drop-by with the
President. Given the schedule prior to the European and Middle
Eastern trip, I recommend that you reply that a meeting will not
be possible.
The Honorary Chairman is, as you probably know, an interesting
and very influential figure in South Korea and has engaged in
semi-official and semi-successful personal diplomacy in North
Korea and the USSR.
I have drafted two replies, depending on your sense of what is
required. One says that the President's schedule will not permit
a meeting (Tab I); the other that you would be willing to see Ju,
but the President must regret (Tab II).
RECOMMENDATION
That you sign the reply either at Tab I or Tab II.

Dear Howard:
Thank you for your note proposing a

Hyundai's founder and Honorary Chairman,
Ju Yung Chung. Due to our impending
travel to Europe and the Middle East, the
President's and my schedules are simply
too full to arrange a meeting on the dates
when Mr. Ju Yung Chung will be in
Washington.
I am sorry that we will not be able to
hear his views directly, but one of my
staff will be available to meet with him.
If you think that will be useful, please
call Douglas Paal at 395-5746.

Dear Brent:
During my periodic consultation with Hyundai, I have come
to know well and admire Hyundai's founder and Honorary
Chairman, Ju Yung Chung. Having established Hyundai as a
major multinational corporation, he has gone on to become a
true elder statesman and has been instrumental in the
development of relations between Korea and the Soviet Union
and in the beginnings of talks between South and North Korea.
He has asked to share his insights on those developments
with you and the President. I would be most grateful if you
could arrange to meet briefly with him, and also take him in
for a brief meeting with the President. The President has met
with the Chairman in the past, and I am confident that he will
find the renewal of their acquaintance valuable and worthwhile.
He will be in Washington on the 12th and 13th of November,
and, again, I would appreciate your assistance in scheduling a
meeting.
With very best wishes,
Sincerely,

To CHAIN THE Doc OF WAR: THE WAR POWERS OF CONGRESS IN
HISTORY AND LAW. By Francis D. Wormuth & Edwin B. Firmage.
Dallas, Tex.: Southern Methodist University Press, 1986. pp.
347.
Reviewed by Ronald vonLembke*
I. INTRODUCTION
Professors Wormuth and Firmage begin their analysis of ex-
ecutive war-making powers with an "original intent" premise
that is at first glance very attractive to a conservative under-
standing of the Constitution. They contend that the intent of
the Framers was to give Congress sole power over both the ini-
tiation and conduct of war, thus reducing the executive to a
subordinate branch in military planning and policy. To support
this thesis, they examine the war-making power as envisioned
by the Continental Congress, the nature of acts of war, and the
ways in which Congress has delegated, or (according to the au-
thors) the executive has usurped, the power of initiating and
conducting war.
A more precise title for this book would have been: To Chain
the Dog of War: A Plan for the Emasculation of the Executive Branch.
Even if one grants the authors' attractive argument that the
Framers intended to give the power to initiate and control the
conduct of war solely to the legislative branch, the history of
the republic is replete with examples in which the executive has
by necessity engaged in, and Congress, whether for political or
institutional reasons, has tacitly approved of, acts of war to pro-
tect American lives and interests. As a result, a disproportion-
ate amount of the book is devoted to attempts to apologize for
congressional inaction or distinguish "unauthorized" acts of
war engaged in by almost every President from George Wash-
ington to Ronald Reagan. In the end, the authors are left with
an amorphous definition of congressional war powers and a
wistful plea for a return to an Eighteenth Century understand-
ing of the separation of powers and the reality of war.

benefit of any apparent background in psychology or medicine,
the authors attempt to postulate the "ideal" presidency. Their
investigation of contemporary statesmen leads them to charac-
terize most "leading politicians" as men in their fifties and six-
ties who suffer from "permanent maladies of one sort or
another" and who, because of the strain of office, suffer "not
merely physical but psychological consequences as well. "53 The
authors then casually note that "where there is illness, there is
medication. Following this already unsupported preface ap-
pears a most incredible statement:
It appears that the administration of tranquilizers, not only
to chiefs of state, but also to other political figures, has now
become standard medical practice. But the official must meet
people, he must make decisions; for these purposes he is
roused and sharpened with stimulants. In times of great trial
he bounces back and forth like a ping-pong ball. We find
ourselves governed by a "chemical man". And some medica-
tions have side effects. In many cases, for example, cortisone
produces a false euphoria and unfounded optimism, and
abuse of cortisone can cause messianic delusions. 55
The authors offer no psychological, medical, or other support
for their position.
As noted above, one would hope that these two unfortunate
chapters are the result of an overzealous editor's effort to ap-
peal to a popular audience, and not the ultimate conclusion of
two legal scholars concerning the future of American politics.

Appointment Request by French Ambassador
Ambassador Andreani called today personally to request an
appointment with you for later this week. Per your guidance,
when Andreani requested a meeting with you a couple of weeks ago
to discuss the Persian Gulf we asked him to see Richard Haass in
your stead. We made it clear, however, that you would in
principle be available if there were truly critical issues that
Andreani needed to discuss with you personally.
Andreani says that he now believes it important to talk to you
personally because a number of annoying bilateral issues have
begun to pile up, both regarding the Persian Gulf and the Middle
East and on European security issues. Given the sensitivity of
these issues and the touchiness of the French, I would recommend
that you accord Ambassador Andreani a brief meeting. We have
tentatively blocked out 30 minutes on Thursday, October 25 at

SUBJECT: Meeting with Ambassador Jack Matlock
Ambassador Jack Matlock will be in Washington for consultations
between October 22-26. He has requested a meeting with you and
Bob Gates. He has no particular requests to raise but would like
the opportunity to review developments in U.S. -Soviet relations.
We think a meeting would be worthwhile.
Ambassador Matlock is also available to call on the President for
a similar discussion but does not want to make a formal request
to see him. He would rather leave that decision to you and will
understand if a meeting is not possible.
The President has not met with Matlock for over a year. A short
discussion of events in the USSR, focusing on the economic reform
debate and the federation talks, could be useful for the
President, should his DDC schedule permit such a meeting.

Courtesy Call by GCC Secretary General
Diane, could you please pass the note below to the General?
thanks!
Brent,
Abdullah Bishara, the GCC Secretary General, will be in
Washington this week and had asked to meet with Bob G. on
Wed. He met with Bob last year and also received a
personal note from the President in response to his letter
to the President on the Gulf crisis. I believe he and the
President know each other from UN days. Bob will be out of
town Wednesday.
If you have a few minutes, it would be worthwhile for you
to see Abdullah. He is very articulate, a Kuwaiti, and
will have a lot to say on the Gulf crisis. Please advise.

SUBJECT:
Request for Meeting with Stanislav Shatalin
Stanislav Shatalin, one of Gorbachev's closest economic advisors,
and primary author of the 500-Day plan for economic reform, will
be in Washington October 1-3 and has requested an appointment
with the President and you.
We do not believe the President should see him, but think a 45-
minute meeting with you would be appropriate and useful. At a
minimum, it would give us a chance to hear how Gorbachev plans to
proceed once the Supreme Soviet approves an economic reform plan.
We think a meeting would also provide us a useful opportunity to
review with a senior Soviet official our own thoughts about the
future of our economic relationship.
Shatalin will also see Secretaries Baker and Brady, CEA Chairman
Burkin and FED Chairman Greenspan.
RECOMMENDATION
That you agree to a meeting with Shatalin at a time to be
decided.

SUBJECT:
4PM, October 2 Meeting with Scowcroft
U
The Aerospace Industrial Association (AIA) requested a session
with General Scowcroft for the purpose of discussing ways to
preserve the industrial base. It now turns out that the specific
issues are more related to your portfolio than mine, and I
appreciate you taking the action and preparing the meeting memo.
Participants:
Dennis Picard, CEO of Raytheon
Renso Caporelli, acting CEO of Grumman
Don Fuqua, President of AIA
POCs:
Joel Johnson, AIA, 371-8420
Richard Bergwin, UTC, 785-7464
The theme the AIA is advocating is maintenance of the preeminence
of the U.S. aerospace industry. They have concluded that the way
to do this is to remove impediments to export sales in order to
sustain their base (in view of the reduced defense budgets
expected for the next several years) They will ask General
Scowcroft for:
-- White House support in developing a positive statement
on defense exports which says that exports are encouraged when in
the national interest -- bit fuzzy here on the specifics but
apparently they are looking for a document to be a mirror image
of the negative export statement in Carter's PD-13.
-- Support for development of a comprehensive defense export
finance policy.
Joel Johnson is the person to get further details from. Thanks.

Appointment
We have been contacted by an AIA representative who requests that
you consider meeting with three members of the AIA Board of
Governors on the afternoon of August 29. The three members are
Mr. Renso Caporelli, the acting CEO of Grumman Aerospace;
Mr. Dennis Picard, the CEO of Raytheon; and Mr. Bill Paul, Vice-
President for United Technologies. They want to discuss the
areas of concern and a proposed plan of action developed in a
recent AIA study of the defense industrial base and prospects for
foreign military sales. Specifically, they would like to discuss
AIA views on financing defense exports, reductions to impediments
in sales of dual use items, licensing, and offsets. The AIA has
been a responsible and reliable organization on defense issues
and we recommend that you meet with them.

SUBJECT:
GENERAL'S MET W/ARGIES
By CAP NARA, Date 9/16/10
Flo: Background info. Bill Pryce has cleared.
You already have the bio on Gonzalez. The Minister, age 55, has known
Menem since the two were teenagers. He has served as adviser, business partner,
and trouble-shooter for Menem. Menem turned to Gonzalez early this year to
take over the Central Bank at a time when inflation looked like it was spinning
out of control again. He helped stabilize the situation.
Naturally, we believe that Gonzalez' agenda with you will be mostly
economic. For example, the Commerce Department just announced a 15%
countervailing duty on Argentine leather products, affecting some $200 million
in Argentine exports. The Argentine Embassy tried to set up a phone call from
Menem to the President on this one, but we successfully steered them away from
this. Nevertheless, Gonzalez may want to sensitize you to this. It's mentioned
in the President's briefing papers.
Another important issue for the Argentines is wheat, and our Export
Enhancement Program. Menem may want to bring this up with the President,
claiming that it is a subsidy which hurts Argentina. Gonzalez could be giving
you a heads-up on this. You can tell Gonzalez that we see the EEP as a counter
to European Economic Community wheat exports subsidies. Menem has a confirmed
meeting with Secretary Yeutter, however, and you can suggest that this issue be
discussed in more depth with USDA.
Debt may also be on Gonzalez' agenda. It looks like Argentina will not
meet third quarter fiscal targets under its IMF standby agreement. The IMF
appears willing to modify targets somewhat. Menem is still holding to his
economic reform and privatization (the airline and the telephone company have
already been sold), although these policies are very unpopular within his own
party.
Given Gonzalez' closeness to Menem, Gonzalez may ask for another messag
of support from the President for Menem's decision to send a small force to the
Persian Gulf, consisting of two destroyers, an aircraft, and about 450 military
personnel. The force set sail last weekend. Menem's decision, which is a majo
break with Argentina's past disengagement from the world scene, has been
extremely controversial. The President sent Menem a message of support on
September 19, and the White House Press Office praised Menem's strong and
courageous action, but Menem may feel he needs more cover.
We doubt that the sensitive non-proliferation and Condor issues will be
raised by Gonzalez.

General --
Re: Argentine President Menem and Economic Minister
Gonzales
I checked with Don Johnson about Menem's request to see you.
After the Argentines found out you would be at the UN and in the
meeting with President Bush they said President Menem did not
need to meet with you separately -- as we thought!
Mr. Yeo said the Economic Minister "Horse" Gonzales asked
specifically to meet with you. Again Mr. Yeo stressed he would
not be asking you for anything! He is in Washington today and
tomorrow (Thursday and Friday) and will then go up to New York.
He will be back in town part of Monday and the morning of
Tuesday, October 2. Mr. Yeo was not exactly sure of his schedule
or whether he might be tied up with Menem on those two days. Mr.
Yeo thinks it would be good if you could see him for a short
meeting today or tomorrow if that were convenient for you.
Go ahead and set it up for today or tomorrow
Invite staff
Can't do this week, try early next week
Maybe next time he is in town

SUBJECT:
Saudi Tanks
Pls pass the following info to Brent as I think the President
raised it this am. Tanks alot as they say.
The Saudis currently have 540 tanks in their inventory, 150 of
which are M60A1, 100 M60A3, and 290 AMX-30, a French main battle
tank. The M60-A1s are being upgraded into A3s (better
electronics and guidance), and the AMX-30s are being retired.
Before this crisis even began, the Saudis had asked for and
Congress had not objected to their buying 315 M-1A2 (Abrams)
tanks. In the emergency package we okd the other week, we
included 150 M60A3s. And in the new package still under
consideration and that we hope to have on the President's desk by
next week, there are an additional 385 M-1A2s.
To summarize, and assuming the retirement of the French tanks and
the passage of the coming second arms package, the Saudis will in
several years have a total of about 1100 tanks, 700 of which
would be our most modern. The Saudis have long talked of a 1000
tank army, so I would expect that beyond this they would probably
want to replace aging M60A3s with M-1A2s on a slightly less than
1:1 basis.

POINTS TO BE MADE FOR MEETING WITH
AMBASSADOR MURATA
--
The President has sought three forms of help from Japan ---
all of them are defensive in nature and do not violate the
strictures of Japan's constitution.
-- new economic assistance to Jordan, Turkey, and
Egypt;
-- a Japanese presence in the Gulf, e.g. minesweepers,
lift capacity, or international transportation;
-- increased host nation support allowing us to shift
expenditures from Japan to the Gulf crisis.
--
I would like to underline the urgency of this request. The
crisis is now, and Japan will receive far more credit among
opinion makers for taking bold decisions early than it will
for identical decisions made a month from now.

SUBJECT:
Polish Ambassador Dziewanowski
Please pass to the General for his meeting with Ambassador
Dziewanowski at 2:00 p.m. today, August 14. We have tubed over a
biography.
Dziewanowski, a close confidant of Mazowiecki, is paying an
introductory courtesy call. He will want to stress, as he did
with the President during his presentation of credentials last
week, his hope that U.S. -Polish relations can now enter an
entirely new era of close cooperation.
Beyond that, he is likely to stress that Poland is particularly
hard hit by its participation in sanctions against Iraq, in that
Poland is now losing Iraqi oil already paid for as well as $500
million owed to Poland by Iraq. We have already had three
separate demarches from the Poles, the last somewhat less shrill
that the first two. You can assure Dziewanowski that we are
looking urgently into the problem: Larry Eagleburger raised the
matter at a luncheon last Friday, an interagency group met on
Sunday and will meet again today, and we hope to have very soon a
specific response to Poland's appeal for help.

SUBJECT:
Appointment Request by Portuguese Ambassador
The Portuguese Ambassador would like to see the General "this
week if possible", regarding the talk that the General had in
London last week with Cavaco Silva's Diplomatic Adviser Martins
Da Cruz.
Since this week is not possible, one option would be for me to
offer to speak to him instead if the General would prefer to
avoid an office call. Since I don't know what was discussed in
London, I cannot make a recommendation.
If the General does wish to see the Ambassador, please give me a
time that I can offer him for next week. I will be on leave
then, but Bob Hutchings would be available to sit in if desired.

Dear Brent:
This is to ask your assistance with respect to a potentially serious
difficulty facing Santa Fe International Corporation and it's subsidiaries
arising from the President's Executive Order "blocking" all Kuwaiti
assets.
Although, obviously, the Treasury Department has not completed the
task of defining the scope of the order and issuing regulations covering
the possibility of licenses pursuant to the order, it is our understanding
and belief that it is the intent of the President's Order to be of
assistance to the Government of Kuwait and not to penalize Kuwait owned
companies like Santa Fe, its employees, investors and creditors.
Regrettably, several of Santa Fe's banks have advised that Santa Fe cannot
have access to any of its assets in order to pay it's bills and payrolls
as they come due. Also certain lenders have advised they are considering
perfecting certain security interests, including effectively garnishing
revenues from certain drilling rigs.
We have submitted an application for a license to the attention of
Richard Newcomb (copy attached), but are advised that the Treasury
Department is unlikely to be able to respond in a timely matter without
immediate interagency consensus. We are concerned that any delay, which
leads to our inability to pay our bills and payrolls (a major payroll is
due tomorrow), may lead to a serious disruption of our business and
potentially serious long term harm. Therefore, in essence, we are asking
for any assistance you can provide, or your suggestions as to how we can
facilitate the approval of our application as soon as possible.
I understand from Wilma that you are expected home tonight and I will
try to contact you there tonight to discuss our predicament with you
further.
Regards,
E. Lr Shannon, Jr.

Meeting with Ambassador Curley
Florence/Wilma: Could you pass the following brief message in to the
General before his 11:00 meeting with Ambassador Curley?
In meeting with Ambassador Curley, he may well comment on the state of
bruised feelings in the French bureaucracy about the London NATO
Summit. If he does not touch on this point, you may wish to draw him
out on it -- to get a sense of whether France now wants to find a
constructive role in the NATO strategy review.
One other point: the Germans, Italians, and others are helpfully
working on a US-EC declaration to further strengthen our ties to the
Community. This would be worked during the current Italian presidency
and possibly concluded when the Italian Prime Minister comes to
Washington (probably in November). It is not yet clear whether France
will let this happen without a fight. You might want to warn Curley
that this issue is heading his way, and we may need his help.

General Brent Scowcroft
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear General Scowcroft,
President David P. Gardner has asked me to enquire about your
availability for an early lunch on Thursday, June 21. Ideally, he
would like to have you and Dr. Roger Porter join him for lunch
together on that day. I suggest an early lunch because he must
catch a flight at National which departs at 1:55.
His interest in having you and Dr. Porter join him is to
discuss a policy initiative in the area of graduate student
fellowships. Dr. Gardner believes there is a pressing national
need to invest in graduate fellowships to prepare the next
generation of leaders in the nation. He can provide more details
when he meets with you, but would like to suggest a major White
House program.
If lunch that day is not possible, could you suggest another
time that morning for an appointment?
Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward
to hearing from you soon at our Washington office.
100 Sincerely, Evert
Paul Sweet
Director, Federal

SUBJECT:
Meeting with Amb. Green
Please pass to the General for his 10:00 a.m. meeting, with an
info copy to Bob Gates.
The situation in Bucharest is calm but tense, with Iliescu having
crossed a threshhold of violent repression against his own
population. Only a dramatic effort toward conciliation -- firing
most of his Government and make a real opening to the students and
opposition leaders -- can retrieve his ability to govern. It
remains to be seen whether Iliescu has the political imagination
or courage to take such steps. In addition to our very tough
official condemnation of the Romanian Government's action, we have
instructed our Embassy to withhold the President's formal message
of congratulations on Iliescu's election (a very curt one, which
we had prepositioned), downgraded attendance at the inauguration
ceremony, and cancelled a planned National War College visit. We
will continue to hold this Government at arm's length until its
conduct improves markedly.
Embassy reporting has improved somewhat since Ambassador Green's
recall last month, when State's European Bureau spoke plainly to
him about a pattern of pro-Iliescu and pro-Front sentiment that
damaged the credibility of its reports. In covering this week's
violence, Embassy reporting started off with a very charitable
assessment of Iliescu's repressive measures but has now become
quite (and properly) critical.
When he saw the President last month, Ambassador Green raised his
concerns over the number of outstanding Romanian refugee/parole
cases. We have looked into these cases, which run up against our
overall ceilings for East European refugees, and I will give the
Ambassador an update when I see him separately on Monday.

Appointment Request -- Amb. Green
Please pass to the General and to Bob Gates.
Alan "Punch" Green, U.S. Ambassador to Romania, is here through
the rest of the week (June 13-15) and has requested meetings with
the President and with you, Brent. You will remember that he saw
both of you last month, when he was recalled for consultations
just before the May 20 Romanian elections.
Although he will have updated impressions of the Romanian scene
after the flawed elections that returned Iliescu and company to
power, we see no compelling reason for the President to see him
again. We suggest that Bob Gates see him this time. If you
agree, we will work with Diane to get him on the calendar.

SUBJECT:
Houston Economic Summit
Florence: Last week before I left for Paris for a Summit
preparatory meeting, I met with the General and discussed with him
a possible initiative for the Houston Economic Summit. He
suggested that I send him a paper on the subject which he might
share with Baker, Brady et al.
We sent over such a paper this afternoon (package #4125). I
wanted to draw it to your attention because if we are to advance
this initiative, we will have to start cracking now. I know that
with the Gorbachev meetings coming up and other activities it will
be hard to focus on what is a longer-range effort.
I would appreciate if you could schedule a meeting for Eric and me
with the General to discuss this idea and also to review other
Summit-related items. The General wrote on an earlier memo on the
Houston Summit (3586) "see me", and we would like to take him up
on his suggestion.

Genscher Visit on May 25
By 45 NARA, Date 3/6/24
Please pass to the General and Bob Gates.
Genscher will be back in Washington to give the commencement
address at Georgetown on Saturday, May 26, and will meet with
Secretary Baker at 10:45 on Friday (immediately after Genscher's
arrival at 10:00). The FRG Embassy has inquired, but not
strenuously, about a meeting with the President. State's view is
that a meeting would be useful but not essential. We agree.
Given the extended discussions the President had with Kohl,
Genscher, and Stoltenberg last week, we see no reason for him to
delay his departure for Kennebunkport. Whatever news Genscher
brings from his May 23 meeting with Shevardnadze can be conveyed
to Secretary Baker. We have explained to the FRG Embassy that the
President will be out of the city.
