DROP BY: UNGROUP LUNCHEON
PURPOSE:
Thank members of group for support for summit
Charge them with future work
Farewell to Reg Bartholomew and John Shalikashvili
SUGGESTED POINTS:
President asked me to thank you for all the hard work
leading up to a most successful summit.
Many trips, many miles, many meetings led to some remarkable
agreements.
Of seven agreements signed by the two presidents, you drove
home three of them (offense reductions, defenses, and weapon
dismantlement) and had a strong hand in two others
(Washington Charter and Space Cooperation).
Wish I could tell you to take a much deserved break, but
-
Follow up on defenses -- with the allies as well as the
Russians
-
Ratification of START and the new protocols
-
Complete the treaty to codify the new reductions
agreement
-
Complete Chemical Weapons Convention
-
Keep the pressure on "SSD" (safety, security, and
dismantlement of Russian weapons)
-
Bring CFE into force
-
Need to accelerate work on disposition of Russian
uranium and plutonium
-
Turn to non-proliferation in a big way
-
And nuclear testing is an issue that won't go away.
Want to thank Reg and Shali personally for their
contributions. These successes -- including the START
Treaty -- would not have happened if it were not for your
commitment, leadership, and just plain old hard work.

Meeting with Maurice Greenberg
By CAP
NARA, Date 9/27/10
Please pass to General Scowcroft for his 2:00 p.m. meeting today.
Maurice Greenberg, Chairman of American International Group, has asked to
see you about trade and investment with Russia. He will be accompanied by
Oakley Johnson, AIG Vice President for governmental affairs.
Greenberg wants to brief you about a recent meeting he and Gene Corrigan
of the New York FED had with Gaydar in Moscow.
He may also want to pursue with you an idea he communicated to the President
in a March letter--namely that the USG provide financial assistance, through
soft loans, to major U.S. firms to "adopt" Russian enterprises and help them
through the process of conversion to a free market basis. Greenberg's staff
say he never received an answer to his March 9 letter. We are now trying to
find out what happened to it in the White House system.
While we have no present mechanism to provide such loans to U.S. firms, you
can tell Greenberg what we have done to promote American trade and investment
in Russia:
-- The President will sign the Trade, BIT and Tax treaties with Yeltsin
next week. Together with new and expanded OPIC and EXIM programs in Russia,
we have laid the foundation for greater trade and investment.
-- The President has asked Sec. Franklin to lead our Business Development
Joint Committee whose focus is to lower Russian barriers to American
investment. Most of the members of the U.S. side will be from our private
sector.
-- We have also organized face-to-face meetings for senior American
business executives with Kravchuk and Nazarbaev. Sec. Franklin will host
a meeting with Yeltsin on June 17 (note: If he asks to participate in the
meeting, you might refer him to Sec. Franklin).

Stafford Meeting - Additional Information
FOR GENERAL SCOWCROFT
We have just received more insight into UNHCR views on Haiti.
Stafford is expected to propose that:
-- The US resume screening, but it can be a quick screening
(potential problem with our courts)
-- UNHCR in return would drop its objection to our returning
screened-out to Haiti and
-- UNHCR would agree to do some monitoring in Haiti and
would ask the government to guarantee safety for refurnees.
I recommend that discussion on this be done at State (and
decisions can be made later) but I think you can still usefully
press for monitoring.

SUBJECT:
Request for Meeting by UNHCR Deputy Stafford
FOR GENERAL SCOWCROFT
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has asked her deputy, Doug
Stafford (American), to visit Washington next week to discuss the
US policy toward Haitian boat people. UNHCR has criticized the
new executive order, saying it denies Haitians genuinely in need
of international protection the opportunity to present their
claims and exposes them to risk upon their return to Haiti.
Stafford wants to discuss whether there is a more active role
UNHCR could play. (Yes.)
Stafford has specifically requested an appointment with you. He
will be meeting with Arnie Kanter at State in Eagleburger's
absence. I recommend that you meet with him to help us make our
case on Haiti and also to reaffirm our commitment to working with
UNHCR on refugees around the world. We should be striving to
minimize damage to our overall refugee policies and international
standing.
Would you be willing to meet with him early next week, perhaps
Tuesday?
Yes
No
If you cannot do it, I recommend that Admiral Howe meet with him.
Wilma - We need to know as soon as possible, as Stafford wants to
make his travel plans. Thanks very much.

SUBJECT:
BS Meeting with Prince Alexander
Florence:
Bill Mc Manus called to facilitate a phone call from Leo Daly
requesting a visit with the General for Prince Alexander of
Yugoslavia for next Wednesday.
Prince Alexander will be coming from London (and a meeting
with Douglas Hurd) to the States for a couple of days. He
wrote to the President recently (you may recall) and we did a
reply for the President's signature.
The Prince is apparently a very nice, older gentleman who
continues to have ties to Serbia and was reportedly warmly
received by the 'masses' in Belgrade during a recent visit
there. He presents a reasonably balanced view of the
Yugoslav crisis.
If the General would like to meet briefly with him (because
of the McManus connection), can you arrange a time and let
Betty know (I will be on vacation next week) ? If he does not
want to see him, I'll recommend Gompert do so. I understand
too, that Tom Niles at State has an appointment with him for
Wednesday as well.

Request for Meeting with UN High Commissioner for
Refugees Ogata, May 19 or 20
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Sadako Ogata has
requested a meeting with you when she visits Washington May 19
and 20. This would be an excellent opportunity to receive a
progress report on repatriation of Cambodian refugees and UNHCR
activities in areas of the former Yugoslavia. She also could
cover other repatriations, which are beginning in earnest during
this year that she has declared The Year of Repatriation.
Mrs. Ogata has substantial influence with the Japanese government
and in the international community. She has been and will remain
key to coaxing more Japanese funding for international programs,
such as Cambodia. A meeting with her would be of value.

Mr. Scowcroft said that in the past whenever he came to

Scowcroft will remember him.
In any event, he would appreciate a call as to whether something

Meeting Request
Clark McFadden called me to request a meeting with the General on
Thursday, April 30. He would like to bring several CEOs from the
U.S. lumber industry (e.g. International Paper, Georgia Pacific)
and representatives of the Fair Lumber Import Coalition to lobby
the General on the merits of maintaining high punative duties on
lumber imported from Canada. The group has a meeting with Clayton
Yeutter at 2:30 on April 30.
I recommend against such a meeting. A session with Yeutter is
enough. The lumber case is another sticky dispute in
U.S./Canadian relations, and the General may have to intervene in
the policy process at some point to keep the two sides negotiating
instead of hitting each other with two-by-fours. I think our
interests would be served best by keeping the General in the
background ready to offer his good offices to the governmental
negotiators rather than by being lobbied by all the private
parties on both sides of the border.
McFadden's number is 429-2333.

SUBJECT:
Meeting with Archbishop Iakovos
Please pass the following to the General for his meeting with
Archbishop Iakovos and Andy Athens:
1. They will mainly want to discuss Macedonia.
On May 1, the EC delcared that it was
"willing to recognize 'Macedonia' as a sovereign and
independent state, within its existing borders, and under a
name that can be accepted by all the parties concerned."
The EC apparently will not proceed, as we had once thought,
on an individual basis to recognize Macedonia by that name.
The Greeks are now looking for us to sign up publicly to this
same position and Archbishiop Iakovos and Andy Athens will
likely deliver this message to you when you meet.
Although we do want to maintain close alignment with the EC,
we may not want to adopt their Macedonian position publicly
yet.
You may want to tell the Archbishop that we are active on the
issue, but for the moment, we believe our greatest
contribution to help break the impasse is through quiet
diplomacy -- much as we have been pursuing since March when
Mitsotakis called the President to gain time to work the
problem out.
Late Note: We may be able to capitalize on the Greeks'
desire for our support, however. I will forward a memo
outlining the approach we think might help win a breakthrough
on the issue.
2. On the (now cancelled) visit of President Karamanlis, the
Greeks are not mad at us, but Karamanlis did not want to be
here if things were not going 'well' on the Macedonian issue.
But it is also true that Karamanlis has extensive health
problems, which the Greeks cite as the reason for cancelling
the visit.
3. Secretary Skinner may drop by, and I have notified
Secretary Derwinski's office of the time of your brief
meeting with the Archbishop.

Proposed Scowcroft-Eagleburger-Card meeting
Florence:
I passed on to Dona last night Tim's request that the General
schedule a meeting, preferably today, with Eagleburger and Andy
Card to discuss next steps in our aviation dispute with France.
The next crisis date is Monday, May 4 when the French may begin
restricting U.S. flights. With the weekend and Friday being a
holiday in France, we need to get back to the French asap.
Amb. Curley sent Scowcroft, Baker and Card a message yesterday
(Paris 12063). We have a memo in the works for Scowcroft. Please
let us know if a meeting is possible.
Thanks.

FROM:

SUBJECT:
Proposal that You Meet with Ambassador Perkins
With Congressional hearings today, Ed Perkins should become US
Permanent Representative to the United Nations very soon. I
recommend that you meet with him before he moves to New York to
cover generally US policy toward the UN and specifics as
appropriate. Perhaps this could be tied in with the expected
call on President Bush before Ambassador Perkins takes up his new
post.
RECOMMENDATION
That you agree to meet with Ambassador Perkins before he takes up
his new duties.

MEMORANDUM FOR BRENT SCOWCROFT
ROBERT L. HUTCHINGS RID
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Appointment Request for Oskar Lafontaine,
Minister-President of the Saarland
Lafontaine is visiting Washington privately and has requested a
meeting with you. Although not of highest priority, we recommend
that you agree if your schedule permits.
Although he has lost out to Schleswig-Holstein Minister-President
Bjorn Engholm as the presumptive SPD chancellor candidate in
1994, Lafontaine remains SPD Vice Chairman. He will remain a
force to be reckoned with in the SPD, owing to his youth, the
security of his position in the Saarland, and a certain following
among the Social Democratic Euro-yuppy Left (to coin a phrase).
Lafontaine created a ruckus a few months ago in calling for the
extension of NATO security guarantees to all the new states of
the east -- a typically ill-considered idea that has nonetheless
touched off a useful debate in the SPD about NATO's future role.
Lafontaine is here all day April 27 and the morning of April 28.
He will be seeing Secretary Baker at 11:15 on the 27th.
RECOMMENDATION
That you agree to meet with Lafontaine for 20-30 minutes, April
27 or 28.

This will take no more than 5 minutes; we would like to come to
your office at your convenience and get a minute or two of tape.
No set up is required, no remarks are required, no sound will be
used.
We would like to do this on Thursday morning of this week.
Please let Lucy in our office (x7565) know what a convenient time

NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS
The Causes for Concern
The period of US economic hegemony has ended
There is an emerging consensus that the US must act to assure its economic
prosperity; the issues are how, and relative to what
Europe United may be an economic power greater than the US and Japan's
predatory economic growth continues
The US is losing ground in many key industries
There is no indication that a service-oriented economy can remain a world power
The US still has some clear advantages (such as its large domestic market, abundant
natural resources, and leading higher education system) and can recover lost ground
Industrial strength provides high-value-added employment and the technology base
to assure fully competitive service industries
Actions are required from both the private sector and the public sector
NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS
Public Policy Issues - Suggested Government Actions
Some of the actions that could improve the impact of public policy issues on
competitiveness:
Have a competitiveness policy: establish a vision and a procedure to review
proposed actions for their effect on competitiveness
Provide an educational system that creates the world's best-prepared workers and
world citizens: continue the President's education initiatives; establish tax incentives
for retraining - both individual and corporate
Assure competitive health care delivery systems that maintain high health-care
standards, at world-class cost levels, with funding that maintains competitiveness of
the industrial and service base: develop plans that reduce present cost-shifting
Provide fully competitive after-tax cost of capital for commerce and industry: use a
major portion of the peace dividend to reduce the cost of capital (through reduced
deficits, investment tax credits, revision of the alternative minimum tax, or other
changes identified later)
NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS
Public Policy Issues - Suggested Government Actions
Link fiscal, monetary, and trade policies to assure competitiveness of US industry in
the world market
- Fiscal responsibility at all levels of government
- Coordinated monetary policies that maintain exchange rates at appropriate
levels
- Fair trade as the principal trade policy: target trade policy negotiations to reduce
the large persistent imbalances that presently exist and to assure reciprocal
access to the markets of our competitors
- Utilize the crucial linkages among fiscal, monetary, and trade policies
Renewed investment in public infrastructure, to assure rapid and efficient
transportation and communications are available to US producers: accelerate the
rebuilding of America's roads and bridges and improve our air, rail, and
communications systems
NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS
Public Policy Issues - Suggested Government Actions
Measured progress, at an efficient and affordable pace, in regulations and social
programs that affect world competitiveness: initiate a review of the entire regulatory
approach, to assure consistency with world competitiveness, cost-effectiveness, and
coherency
Timely and secure access to core technologies, such as processing tools, materials,
computers, and electronics
Closer cooperation among government, industry, and labor to enhance productivity
and overall efficiency: include more private-sector executives in the next
Administration to enhance cooperation among government and industry and
establish more forums to allow the exchange of viewpoints
Above all, make national competitiveness a national goal.

Illustrative List of Possible Future Military-Military
Cooperation Between US and CIS/Russia
1. Transition to a Much Smaller, Professional Armed Forces.
The CIS Supreme Command is planning to cut its armed forces to
about 1.2 million or less, to rely on a primarily volunteer system,
and to institute a more competitive salary and incentive structure.
Technical assistance from the US military could help ease this
transition and reduce the likelihood, at least at the margin, that
this transition collapses into anarchy and violence.
2. Humanitarian Assistance. The US military has been
instrumental in several humanitarian operations of late. Russian
politicians foresee the same role for their politicians, but thus
far the Supreme Command has not been enthusiastic. US technical
assistance and training in this regard could help facilitate this
role for the CIS and thus push it into some clearly benign
activities.
3. Military Drug Interdiction. This is an increasing, if
extremely sensitive problem, for the Supreme Command because of the
CIS long southern borders. Advice from the US military would be a
valuable asset for the General staff as it tries to deal with this
matter.
4. Exchanges on UN Peacekeeping Policies. This may become an
increasing mission for US and CIS/Russian forces.
5. Cooperative activities in Russia Between the Corps of
Engineers and CIS Construction Units. Perhaps personnel from the
Corps of Engineers could help build model officer housing in or
around Moscow, or assist in repairing roads/rail that bring food to
market. Symbolic, of course, but a vivid demonstration of
cooperation between the two militaries.
6. Inservice Training.
7. Inservice Transition to Separation and Retirement.
6092587588
P03
8. Creating a Professional Non-Commissioned Corps in the CIS
Military. Recognized by the General Staff as absolutely crucial in
building a competent and responsible professional army. US
technical assistance could make an important contribution.
9. The Interaction Between Civilians and Military in the
Pentagon. The Supreme Command awaits the imposition of civilian
authority with apprehension, even anger. The JCS can to an extent
reduce at least some of these anxieties by explaining the day to
day milltary-civilian partnership in the DOD.
10. Dealing with Racial and Ethnic Tensions Within a
Professional Armed Force.

Dear Brent:
Last week the Committee on International Security and Arms Control
(CISAC) of the National Academy of Sciences held its nineteenth meeting with
its now Russian counterpart group, the Committee of Scientists for Global
Security. Yevgeniy Velikhov and Andrey Kokoshin served as chairs for the
Russian side. We also had several meetings after our regular sessions,
including a hour-long discussion with Marshal Shaposhnikov.
The topics covered in our meetings and discussions included ballistic
missile defense, options for the storage and use of weapons-grade materials,
particularly plutonium, the future of nuclear forces, and new Russian and
American military doctrines. A summary of the meetings, including a list of
participants, is enclosed.
The discussions of ballistic missile defense were particularly
illuminating because they clarified hitherhto ambivalent Russian and U.S.
statements on potential collaboration with U.S. programs. Kokoshin had
convened senior designers of Russian BMD systems who identified the limits of
their interest in pursuing such programs; the subject was also discussed with
Marshal Shaposhnikov.
Russian reposnses on the future of nuclear weapons in the non-Russian
republics varied in their expectations of a favorable outcome and provoked
comments on past and future U.S. leverage to achieve that end.
We would like to offer you the opportunity of a briefing on our meetings
at your earliest convenience. Our director, Dr. Jo Husbands, will call your
office shortly to discuss the possibility. We hope that we will be able to
arrange a convenient time to share the results of our work with you.
Sincerely,

SUMMARY
Meeting and Related Briefings
Committee on International Security and Arms Control
and
Committee of Scientists for Global Security
March 23-26, 1992
Moscow
Introduction. The Committee on International Security and Arms Control
of the National Academy of Sciences held its nineteenth meeting with its
Russian counterpart group in Moscow, March 23-26, 1992. Three days of
discussions were followed by briefings from a number of senior Russian and
Commonwealth officials, including Marshal Shaposhnikov. The first part of the
summary covers the regular meetings by topic, followed by a summary of the
briefings beginning on page 5. These summaries emphasize the Russian inputs.
A list of participants and an agenda are attached.
Ballistic Missile Defense. It appeared that Kokoshin had brought
together a number of senior technical designers from the Russian strategic
defense program to meet with CISAC, apparently in hopes of finding common
ground to use in arguments to redefine the proposals for Russian-American
cooperation on "global joint strategic defense." The discussion showed broad
interest in a number of joint activities in early warning, a common interest
in local area defense against tactical ballistic missiles, and very little
prospect of any affordable collaboration on global strategic defenses.
1) There was considerable interest in cooperation on joint warning,
both strategic and tactical, including exchanges of data and military
personnel and perhaps creation of one or more joint centers. Vinogradov
suggested immediately making such activities international, open to all
major states. Menshikov presented a detailed series of proposals for
joint activities, including sharing information on missile
proliferation. Wertheim and others suggested starting to move rapidly
but in stages, beginning with Russian and American joint activities.
2) Most participants agreed that ballistic missile defense encompasses
a range of problems that can be better addressed separately on their
individual merits. Accidental or unauthorized launch, for example, may
be best addressed with improved command and control procedures. Belous
expressed concern that other CIS states would see Russian-American
cooperation on defenses as threatening but identified this area for
further discussion. Some Russian speakers opposed any ABM systems that
would have ASAT potential.
3) The Russians agreed with American arguments that terrorist attacks
would be far more likely to use relatively unsophisticated and
clandestine transportation and delivery systems that could not be
detected or prevented by ballistic missile warning and defenses.
1
4) There was considerable interest in potential joint activities on
antitactical ballistic missile defenses. All Russian speakers
emphasized the need, for economic reasons, to upgrade existing SAM
systems rather than to develop or deploy dedicated ATBM systems. The
Persian Gulf war and the apparent performance of the Patriot had excited
considerable interest in Russia; Menshikov noted that the Russian S-300
offered comparable capabilities.
5) Given the likely threats to be faced and the high priority placed on
further reductions in strategic forces, all participants generally
agreed that jointly or separately acquiring space-based ABM or ATBM
systems made little sense at this time. Menshikov and Basistov both
suggested a series of technical problems, primarily the relative ease of
developing means to overcome or elude space-based interceptor systems
such as Brilliant Pebbles. Going forward with space-based systems, even
jointly, might also increase uncertainty and make it more difficult to
achieve further reductions in strategic forces, Menshikov and others
suggested. Both Russian and American speakers noted that global ABM
defenses might be seen as threatening by China and perhaps by France and
the U.K.
6) When asked to summarize "the Russian position," Kokoshin said that
there was no final Russian position but that he had met with key
decision makers and believed there was growing consensus that: (1) the
ABM Treaty should not be abrogated; (2) Russia was prepared to
collaborate on early warning and to expand the activities of the Nuclear
Risk Reduction Center; (3) Russia and the U.S. should talk to clarify
their ideas; but (4) Russia was not prepared to go farther at this time.
In his judgment, there was no chance of "anything very fancy" in BMD
since there was simply no money available. He said furthermore that the
Russian parliament would reject any expensive new programs in the
unlikely event that the government were to endorse one.
Emerging Military Doctrines of Russia and the United States.
Considerable convergence emerged from presentations by Andrey Kokoshin and
Catherine Kelleher on primary issues involved in creating new military
doctrines for Russia and the U.S. in the aftermath of the Cold War. Doctrines
of both countries have to be responsive to uncertainties from many sources.
Kokoshin said that doctrine is still being developed; a paper by
Kokoshin and others has been on President Yeltsin's desk since January. In
particular, he reported:
1) The nature of future wars and the threats to Russian security are
the source of heated debate. Many believe that the threats to Russian
security will come from the South, not the West, and that medium and low
intensity conflicts including the infiltration of guerrillas into
Russia will be the most likely. The uncertain nature of many of
those threats will require a "defense on all azimuths." Yet Russian
2
forces, like American, are structured and equipped primarily for a major
conflict in Europe.
2) Kokoshin advocated force projection capabilities by Russia similar
to those of the U.S. but he acknowledged the current technological
inferiority of Russia for supporting such force projection and the
severe budget constraints that would hamper future choices. He said
emphasis should therefore be placed on medium and low intensity
conflicts and the prevention of escalation. The principal task should
thus be flexible rapid response to emerging threats to Russia and its
allies. Russia should also be prepared to participate in international
peacekeeping, either in cooperation with the U.S. or international
organizations.
3) Issues related to force size and structure are being debated. For
example, Kokoshin said that there is no need to maintain the huge former
Soviet navy, that conventional forces should be structured for mobility
and rapid response, that Russian armed forces were expected to shrink to
1-1 1/2 million men by the mid-1990s, and that preserving and protecting
strategic command and control was a high priority. He said that
military professionals increasingly accept asymmetries in strategic
forces. Ensuring strategic stability now requires changes in nuclear
requirements. Inflicting unacceptable damage on others has less
priority; prevention of accidental launch has more.
4) The Commonwealth states, at least on conventional forces, appear to
be moving toward independent military forces.
5) Severe budget constraints and the maldistribution of equipment and
facilities among the former Soviet states mean that Russia faces
formidable obstacles in implementing new doctrine. Kokoshin noted that
Ukraine and Belarus cannot use much of the military equipment that they
may keep. Its greatest value lies in selling it quickly, which would be
a much greater threat than any Russian sales.
6) Kokoshin expressed hope for future unified CIS forces, but said that
Ukraine was very unlikely to be a member. Nevertheless he emphasized
that Russian-Ukrainian relations would be critical in determining future
Russian military doctrine. He believes that Russia will have to
participate in the settlement of the various ethnic and other conflicts
within the CIS, including the Nagorno-Karabakh and Moldovan conflicts.
Relations among the Commonwealth states and problems in implementing
START and CFE.
1) Sergei Rogov, just returned from the Commonwealth summit in Kiev on
March 20th, stressed the uncertain future of CIS joint forces.
Beginning with agreements at the earlier Minsk summit, these were to be
united forces, with strategic forces that would belong to the
Commonwealth, some conventional forces devoted to the CIS, and some
national forces that would be subordinate to CIS command. He said that
3
Ukraine had refused to sign any agreements, and that no one was in fact
certain how many republics had signed the agreement on the creation of
these forces or on any other issue. He said that many now doubt that
any basis for cooperation among CIS forces can be sustained. Rogov
emphasized that, while extended deterrence had not been officially
abandoned, in practice nuclear forces are restricted to deterring
nuclear conflict.
2) Both Russian and American participants stressed the threats posed by
the apparent retreat by Ukraine and Kazakhstan from adhering to earlier
pledges to implement START and to become nonnuclear states. Several
stressed the peril to the entire nonproliferation regime if these
republics tried to insist on nuclear status. Russian participants took
current Ukrainian and Kazakh interest in nuclear weapons seriously, not
simply as obvious bargaining chips in the current political struggles.
(Note
that
Shaposhnikov
see
below
took the opposite view.)
3) Rogov stated that by the end of the year there could be four nuclear
weapons states in the CIS. He considered this a potential catastrophe
for the nonproliferation regime. While Russia would be to blame for
such an outcome, he said that the West had contributed, for example by
giving premature diplomatic recognition to the new states. Kazakhstan,
Ukraine, and Belarus would like to ratify START separately, so that they
could claim to be de jure and not just de facto nuclear weapons states.
Rogov said that the U.S. position on this issue must be made absolutely
clear. Unilateral U.S. actions, such as a condition on ratification or
a congressional resolution requiring signature of the NPT by the three
republics as nonnuclear weapons states, should make it clear that
independent nuclear status is unacceptable. Several Russians
acknowledged, however, that only Russia could reassure the other
republics about their perceptions of threats and expansionist ambitions
from Moscow. Arbatov emphasized that the West still has major leverage
to apply to Ukraine and Kazakhstan economic, scientific, and through
international action since these new states are very anxious to gain
acceptance in the international community.
4) Several participants also noted the threat posed by the dilemma that
the CFE treaty, although ratified, cannot be implemented given the
current state of relations among CIS states. Others said that, even if
implemented, the distribution of equipment will leave Russia at a
significant disadvantage.
Problems of Fissile Material and Potential Uses of Weapons-grade
Plutonium and Uranium. Most of the discussion concentrated on the potential
uses for the large quantities of weapons-grade plutonium that will be left
from dismantling and disposing of the former Soviet nuclear arsenal under
START and the various unilateral initiatives of Presidents Bush, Gorbachev,
and Yeltsin. The U.S., it was noted, will face similar problems. This
discussion revealed substantial Russian interest in finding economic uses for
the material, but also revealed the lack of immediate answers.
4
1) Ponomarev-Stepnoy described the various ways in which Russia might
use the weapons-grade material that became available, and acknowledged
that at present the economics of nuclear power worked against finding
any profitable uses. He agreed that Russian HEU production exceeds
nuclear power needs. He also agreed that Pu could be used in light
water reactors but stated that the two suitable Russian fuel fabrication
facilities (with a design capacity of 5 tons/year of Pu) were only 25%
completed. Construction had stopped and an additional capital investment
of at least $150 million would be necessary to complete them.
2) Exploring means to sell enriched uranium and plutonium is a major
goal, but he said that market conditions and licensing were serious
obstacles and that to date there had been no offers to purchase
plutonium. He stated that the Russian plutonium breeder program was
stagnating as a consequence of the stagnation in nuclear power.
3) Panofsky concluded, based on a review of options and an analysis of
the capacity to produce mixed oxide fuels, that both Russia and the U.S.
had to provide safe, at least intermediate-term, storage for the
material. All longer term solutions required capital investment
justified by arms control, not economics. He and Keeny suggested that,
although right now the most important task was to get all nuclear
warheads brought into Russia for centralized storage, in the future it
would be important to provide verification for the stockpile of fissile
material from warheads and others sources. Rogov pointed out that in
the Bush withdrawal initiative and subsequent discussions the U.S. had
avoided any proposals for mutual verification of storage and
dismantlement. Both sides found reciprocal declarations of total
inventory a useful idea.
Meeting with Evgeniy Armbatsumov, Acting Chair, Committee for Foreign
Relations and International Economic Relations, Supreme Soviet of the Russian
Federation, Evgeniy Kozhokin, Chair of the Subcommittee for International
Relations, and Mr. Shrykov (sp.), Secretary, Defense and Security Committee.
A common concern among the participants in the meeting was relations between
Russia and Ukraine and the problems of the future of nuclear weapons.
1) Armbatsumov discussed the recent Kiev summit and expressed great
concern for the security of the Commonwealth, both its nuclear and
conventional forces. He said that he believed Ukraine now wanted to
become an independent nuclear state. He also mentioned problems with
the Caucasus and expressed concern with the spread of Islamic
fundamentalism from Iran or Turkey. He also suggested that American
persuasion would be more effective than Russian in getting Ukraine to
adhere to its original pledges. Armbatsumov noted the border problems
between Russia and Ukraine in areas such as the Crimea, which
complicated Russian relations with Ukraine on nuclear matters.
2) Kozhokin expressed concern for the gap between Ukrainian statements
and actions vis-a-vis nuclear weapons; by contrast, he said that he
5
believed Kazakhstan had always desired nuclear status. He said that
Kravchuk faced a real threat from his right, which he was apparently
trying to defuse by his stance on nuclear weapons. He said that the
future of the former Soviet nuclear arsenal was a global problem
threatening the nonproliferation regime, not a Russian-American or CIS-
American question.
3) Kozhokin also commented on Russia's lack of information about events
in the other republics, criticizing the Foreign Ministry for the slow
pace of establishing embassies in the new states. (He also said that
Russia had no intelligence services operating in the republics.)
Meeting with Marshal Shaposhnikov, CIS Minister of Defense, and staff
(see note). The delegation spent over an hour with Shaposhnikov, discussing
the issues that had been addressed in the three days of meetings. Throughout
the discussion Shaposhnikov emphasized his position with the CIS rather than
Russia.
1) Shaposhnikov listened with apparent approval to the ideas put
forward for cooperation on early warning and intelligence, including
establishing direct links between Russian/CIS and American command
centers such as NORAD. After hearing Panofsky's summary of the
convergence of views on BMD, Shaposhnikov raised the counterargument
that this was an opportunity to bring U.S. experience and Russian
technical capability together. He agreed that the first step was to
concentrate on ATBMs, but did not close the option of at least limited
space-based assets.
2) He said that all tactical nuclear weapons should be scrapped, as
proposed by Presidents Bush, Gorbachev, and Yeltsin. He said that
Russia had enough experience to perform good disposal and storage, and
cited the experience of successfully withdrawing the tactical weapons
from Eastern Europe, the Baltics, the Transcaucasus, and Kazakhstan. He
said that he believed the timetable for withdrawals of tactical nuclear
weapons from Ukraine and Belarus would be met, that the withdrawal of
strategic weapons from Ukraine would be accomplished by 1994, and that
withdrawal from Kazakhstan would be accomplished "within this century."
3) Shaposhnikov said that he and the Russian government were doing
everything possible to prevent Ukraine and Kazakhstan from continuing
their determination to become independent nuclear states. He said that
he had spoken that day to the Ukrainian minister of defense and hoped
that greater cooperation would be forthcoming. Unlike the political
* Also present at the meeting were Lt. Generals V.L. Manilov (Head,
Directorate of Public Affairs), S.A. Bogdanov (Head, Central Institute
for Strategic Problems), F.I. Ladigan (Head, Directorate for Legal and
Treaty Affairs), and V.M. Barenken (position not given).
6
figures CISAC talked with, Shaposhnikov said he believed that both
Ukraine and Kazakhstan were not interested in nuclear weapons for
security reasons, but saw them as valuable political assets.
4) He said that the republics do not have the "technical systems" to
keep nuclear weapons operational, and that the personnel working with
nuclear weapons reported to him as CIS minister of defense, not to the
republics. In answer to a question about the security of the command
and control system, he said that no republic could use the nuclear
weapons on its territory.
5) Shaposhnikov acknowledged that some states had made efforts to
recruit Russian nuclear scientists, but that it was not true that
Russian nuclear weapons had found their way to Iran.
6) He said that verification of reductions, disposal, and stockpiles
would be acceptable as long as it was mutual; unilateral verification
applying only to Russia was unacceptable.
7) When asked about future force structures and military doctrine,
Shaposhnikov said that Russia will create its own armed forces, which
will be smaller and approximately the same size as those the U.S. is
planning. He noted that, unlike the U.S., Russia's long borders
included a number of potential adversaries. In the future there may be
defense collaboration among the CIS republics, perhaps working as a
coalition as in the Warsaw Pact or NATO. At present he thought most
states were primarily concerned with establishing their own independent
forces and that this might be the ultimate outcome. He said he was
working with the Russians and that cooperation would become regularized
after Russia had established its ministry of defense.
Meeting with Dmitri Ryurikov, Assistant to President Yeltsin in the
Department of International Affairs for Defense. Ryurikov discussed the
evolving processes for coordination among defense, economic, and diplomatic
affairs in the new Russian government. He emphasized that he dealt with
procedural questions, not the substance of policy. In response to a question
about current priorities for Yeltsin, he estimated that 80% of Yeltsin's time
is devoted to domestic issues and 20% to international issues, of which about
half concerns the CIS. He faulted the Foreign Ministry for being slow to move
to establish relations and policy toward the new republics.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
Florence E. Gantt
( GANTT )
FROM:
Jane E. Holl
(HOLL)
SUBJECT:
Norwegian Mtg w/BS
Florence:
The leader of the Norwegian opposition (conservative Party),
Mrs. Kaci Kullmann Five will be in Washington for a series of
discussions with the administration and Congress and to give
a speech at the European Institute.
If the current government of Gro Harlem Brundtland falls as a
result of the internal debate over EC membership, as many
expect it could, Kullmann Five will become the new Prime
Minister. She is active in international affairs and is
intimately involved in the GATT negotiations as Minister of
Trade.
The Norwegians are also requesting a meeting with the Vice
President, since Kullmann Five is a prominent member of the
International Democratic Union (with Bildt of Sweden, Kohl of
Germany, and others).
She would like to meet with the General sometime between 8-10
April, Twenty minutes should be enough.
Can you let me know? Thanks
Jane

Brent,
For your April 9 lunch with Senator Lugar, Ginny asked me to
summarize and add my thoughts on Senator Lugar's recent article
in Foreign Policy magazine, which he sent to you (Tab I). The
article, entitled "The Republican Course," opens with the
all-important statement: "The role of the United States should be
to lead the world." The article is a case for engagement and
Presidential leadership, and he makes the case that the
Republicans can do it best.
Senator Lugar outlines four phases in the debate on the American
global role that "make the 1992 Presidential campaign climactic."
He portrays the Democrats as protectionist and isolationist as
they
-- 1) argued against large defense spending during the years
when President Reagan's (then) "startling" foreign policy goals
were to roll back communism, negotiate destruction of INF in
Europe, and tear down the Berlin Wall;
-- 2) intensified pronouncements against overseas
involvement and sought a peace dividend beginning in late 1989;
-- 3) initially praised then damned President Bush's
leadership in the Gulf crisis, voting against use of military
force and predicting a national disaster;
-- 4) were joined by others in arguing for "America Come
Home" and "Peace Dividend Now" with the collapse of the GATT
talks, the battle over NAFTA, and the Wofford win (time to "take
care of our own") and subsequent defeat of the foreign aid bill.
In describing the phases, Senator Lugar cites several
Presidential actions that stand out as American leadership and, I
would add, as some of the key building blocks for future
leadership:
-- Flawless performance in the Gulf crisis that "answered
the question of America's role in the world - the question of the
need for and extent of American leadership - with remarkably
eloquent reasoning and bold action." (clear plan, communication,
and action)
-- Realized the possibilities for diplomacy with the USSR
and PRC that produced successful votes in the UNSC and breathed
new life into the UN. (collective engagement).
2
-- Organized an international response to Saddam Hussein
and financed it through a "United Way"-style campaign. (shared
responsibility).
-- Promoted free trade.
-- Promoted and nurtured democratic principles.
He also mentions the Nunn-Lugar amendment which provides $400
million to help destroy nuclear weapons in the old USSR.
Senator Lugar argues eloquently against the "long-running
isolationist myth, " pointing out that framing the debate as a
choice between national security and domestic spending is wrong
and dangerous, it is not a zero-sum game, the world is not benign
if left alone, and domestic well-being is inextricably tied to
international well-being. But, he is concerned about democratic
isolationists who will remain in Congress and disrupt American
foreign policy.
He advocates that the U.S. demonstrate staying power and the
ability to master and prolong the peace, and he recommends these
elements:
-- Manage reduction of US military forces in a sufficiently
orderly way to prepare us for new dangers.
-- Retain military credibility and presence (Europe, Japan,
rapid reaction forces, safety of sea lanes and airways, access to
markets, stable climate in which democratic traditions can root).
-- Promote free trade and market economics (negotiate and
ratify NAFTA, link it with Central American Common Market and
Mercosur free-trade agreement in South America; GATT; include US
in Pacific Rim trade agreements; seek domestic tax policies that
encourage research, product innovation, risk-taking; promote US
ideas and products; retain ability to retaliate when markets are
closed; bilateral free-trade agreements and Enterprise Funds for
the new democracies and some CIS states).
-- Ensure safety and control of nuclear weapons.
-- UN reform
-- Necessity of UN peacekeeping, which combines cooperative
efforts of many nations and undergirded by US military and
diplomatic strength.
-- Defense shield as glue holding peace together and as
leverage to advance our ideals and insist Europe, Japan and
others address fundamental american interests.

THOUGHTS
The article was probably written before the primaries and
certainly before Clinton's foreign policy speech in which he set
forth essentially the same principles that the President
expresses. We now know that probably less than 30% of voters
voted for isolationism and I would think it is not likely to be a
major campaign issue between the parties. This provides the
opportunity for the President to leave behind the isolationism
debate and focus on describing, as I think Senator Lugar does do
well, the ways in which U.S. leadership can prolong the peace and
promote prosperity.
We are in a post-war period as important as after the two World
Wars. It is turning out to be complex and dangerous, but with
many opportunities. New ground is being broken in international
response to unstable situations. We have been the leader and
other nations continue to look to us as the leader. To really do
so, we must move past arguments about isolationism and set forth
vigorously the shape of the world we want now and in the future
and how we will get there through our engagement. Even if
Americans are more focused on domestic needs now, they expect the
President to lead. If he articulates where we are going and why
it is important and proposes/takes the necessary actions, they
will follow. He can have a different history then Woodrow Wilson
who had the vision and leadership but lacked the mass
communications tools. And if a bipartisan foreign policy can be
developed through this leadership, perhaps Senator Lugar's
well-placed worries about isolationist obstructionists in the
Congress will be overcome.
In talking with Senator Lugar, it could be useful to seek his
views on how big an issue he thinks isolationism still is, how to
seize on the theme of US leadership and engagement, how to
develop a bipartisan foreign policy, how to order and fund
foreign policy priorities.
