8:50 - 10:22 a.m.
PLACE:
The Oval Office
The White House
President: This meeting is even more appropriate than when we spoke
last week, Ben. There have been some developments since then. There
is a glimmer of hope -- the Clerides/Denktash talks have gone on, even
though there has been no progress yet.
I met with Karamanlis and Demirel at Brussels. Both of them talked
tough and they both realize something needs to be done. They had a good
meeting together.
The Senate vote was close but it was good. Something needs to be
done. But before we get into a discussion, I would like Secretary Kissinger
to bring you up to date on the discussions and on the internal situation in
Turkey.
I see Karamanlis nominated Zatsos as President.

Kissinger: Let me explain where the situation is and what the Turkish
domestic situation is. Let me start in February, whatever our views
about what happened before.
I met Bitsios in February. He said he would accept a bizonal
solution if we could work out the territorial arrangements. Karamanlis
wanted a quick solution, to minimize the impact on the Greek domestic
situation. I then went on to Turkey, which had a caretaker government.
They said they had no power to do anything. But I met with every
Turkish leader, urging them to put forth specific proposals to resolve the
situation and prevent the development of complex international situation
making it more difficult to resolve. They all agreed that they wouldn't
discuss it while the embargo was on. They didn't promise to move after-
wards, but they certainly would not move before; it would look like they
were yielding to pressure. The Greek side has been very conciliatory
we couldn't ask for a better position than they are now willing to take.
Demirel then came in, which complicated the situation. Demirel
couldn't accept the deal we had been working on, for domestic reasons.
If Ecevit were in office, I am convinced we would now have a solution.
I went to the CENTO meeting in May not for CENTO but to talk to the
Turkish leaders. Ecevit won't take a position until the coalition does.
He basically wants new elections which he feels certain as do most of
the Parliament that he would win. He took Cyprus and he can blame the
coalition for giving it away. Demirel was Prime Minister when Turkey
didn't move in '67.
The President had good talks with Demirel. But Demirel is looking
for some way to manage it so he doesn't get beaten to death domestically.
[He read from the message from Demirel of June 9, at Tab A]
This was followed by an intelligence report we received that our
NATO bases would be closed Monday. It is the non-NATO ones that we are
most concerned about. They are of major importance to us. We called in
the Ambassador and we got a 30-day extension.
Demirel wants to be able to show he stood up to the U.S., or to get
the embargo lifted so he can show he got something back Ecevit had lost.
We expect Turkey to make progress in the Cyprus negotiation
regardless of the embargo. I think the negotiation is now mostly a matter
of Greek and Turkish domestic politics. The range of the issues is
reasonably clear. It is not clear whether either side can make the re-
quired movement.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFID ENTIAL
3.
The Turks spent the first 20 minutes with the President talking
about the arms embargo. I know there is a difference of opinion about
our strategy. But I assure you we had no other motive than to bring
Turkish concessions. Even if the embargo is lifted, progress on Cyprus
would be tough. But if the embargo is lifted, they would know the Presi-
dent's prestige is involved and they couldn't sit. There is still a gap,
but it is not unbridgeable. There are only two issues: the nature of the
central government and the territorial division. There is also the issue
of refugees. [He describes refugee issues. ] If they can break the logjam,
the issues aren't too difficult. But getting started is the problem. If
Greece made a move and it was turned down by Turkey, it would be
disastrous for them. If Demirel moves in a way which looks weak, the
coalition will break up.
Brent, will you discuss our installations.
General Scowcroft: [Described the bilateral installations.
]
Fascell: If we move, won't we have Greek riots, etc. ?
Kissinger: The Greeks asked the President in Brussels to warn against
military action, especially in connection with the Aegean. We did so.
We are preparing military assistance to Greece but we shouldn't link them.
Fascell: But you think there would be no eruption?
Kissinger: Papandreou and Mavros would complain bitterly. But we are
convinced Karamanlis wants to get this behind him. If the embargo was
lifted and there was no progress, there would be trouble.
Whalen: Let's get right down to cases. We are concerned and want to do
something. Our way is the Hamilton Amendment which passed the Senate
41 - 40. Let's face it. You have won some victories which have made the
freshmen bitter. We need to resolve it in a way to try to avoid a bitter
confrontation. Maybe you have some ideas.
The President: What do you all think?
Brademas: I want to thank you for inviting us, Mr. President. One idea
I would like to put forth we have mentioned it earlier, but maybe we
could modify it some. This idea is to employ the waiver authority. We
have checked the legality with the GAO. We would want some private
assurance that some action was forthcoming acceptable to both sides; then
CONFIDENTIAL

the President could waive the $50 million without Turkey publicly having
to say anything. To be sure that there is no reneging on the agreement,
you could assure them there would be another $50 million coming
using both FY 75 and 76 -- that is more than the grant we are now giving.
If you announced a reassessment of US-Turkish relations at the
same time, it would be a gentle reminder that we don't like ultimatums
thrown at us. Another idea is to get NATO more involved to soften the
US-Turkish aspects of it. As you know, we here are NATO supporters.
We voted against NATO cuts. And I tell the Turks I want aid to Turkey.
I have 450 voting Greeks. I don't need it politically.
We know there will be no settlement as good as the Greeks had
before the crisis.
President: We discussed the waiver policy before. The lawyers can
argue whether the waiver is legal. I think the GAO argument is question-
able and I as a lawyer think it is probably not right. Suppose I waive and
we either don't get a settlement or it isn't satisfactory. Then I am out on
a limb. I don't think that is a satisfactory situation. I talked with Demirel
for an hour. He pointed out that there are arms paid for that he can't get
shipped and is even having to pay for storage. They just don't understand
this and the waiver won't answer it.
Brademas: We are trying to find a way out. I agree, let's forget last
August. But it is virtually impossible for Congress to turn around without
something happening. We must save face and I think it is fundamentally
wrong. Sure it causes you some problems. But we have the national
interest to consider. I am offended by the Turkish ultimatums. I disagree
with your waiver interpretation. I agree with Kissinger that the sides
aren't that far apart. If we could get them $50 million, get some move-
ment, another $50 million, more movement and we can end the whole thing
in 8 - 12 weeks. In the face of the Turkish ultimatum, even if we tried to
just lift the embargo, we would be hung in effigy.
President: I have spoken with some of the leaders -- Tip, for example.
Kissinger has talked to Burton. You know the Democratic freshman better
than I. I have gotten to know some of them, including Hubbard he
seems to want to help. It might be worth a try for Kissinger and me to
talk to them. I am not sure they understand the nature of the problem.
Whalen: I understand what you both are saying. I see you out on a limb
where you could have a problem. What if we applauded your use of the
waiver. That might help.

Sarbanes: I think a starting premise has to be an understanding of some
accommodation by the Turks. If we can get that, we can orchestrate
to save their face. I don't think we can approach the problem from the
view of just getting the decision changed. I think it was correct. If we
just change, we would be in the position of sustaining aggression. If
we know certain things will be done, there are arrangements which can
be made commercial sales, military sales, grants, etc.
President: Let me follow up on that point. There are differences in
the kinds of military deliveries and they can be legally treated differently
-- especially when they have bought and paid for things.
Let me throw this out. Is there a possibility of exempting sales?
Sarbanes: There is a fundamental premise though, and that is that
movement by us without moves by them.
Kissinger: What bugs the Turks is not grant aid - that is within our
sovereign rights. It is the sales, where they can't get things they have
bought. So the waiver gets at what bothers them most.
On the negotiations, there isn't any minor movement on which we
could report. It will be done all together, or not at all. If the Turks
decide to move, it will be done in six weeks -- but I can't say when they
will decide to move.
If Ecevit were in office, we could get a settlement quickly.
Brademas: That is not Clerides' view. He thinks turning the arms on
lose us all our leverage. He thinks that sticking fast will put such a bite
on Turkish military that they will force a movement.
There is another group in the House which feels more strongly from
a different view -- Rangel.
Hamilton: I think there is a trend in the House that the ban should come off.
Many who voted for the ban are looking for reasons to change and the trick
is to come up with something to help them to change. Can't we explore
something other than full restoral? One quirk of the law is that cutoffs
are in perpetuity. Maybe we could put on a time limit. Maybe we could
permit enough aid to let Turkey fulfill its NATO commitment. I don't
think right now you would get the votes to lift the ban.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
6.
President: Have you got some language?
Hamilton: We have been working on some ideas.
President: Why don't we have our people work with you. I can see the
need for a parliamentary maneuver to avoid a head-on collision. The
situation is bound to deteriorate otherwise -- and it is not only Cyprus.
Demirel did mention the Aegean and the Greek buildup on the islands.
They are just off the Turkish coast. He didn't threaten, but it obviously
is a concern. If this continues to unravel, with the Middle East situation
nearby, we could have a holocaust. I can't sit here and do nothing.
Brademas: But we can't just turn the arms back on without some actions
by the Turks. That leaves us in an indefensible legal and moral situation.
That would put the aid bill in jeopardy if we turned any part of it on without
any progress from Turkey. We would in that case have to modify our
position on the aid bill.
President: We have to be realistic about the situation in Greece and
Turkey. For either to take a public position would create an impossible
situation.
Brademas: We agree. That is why we want to do it privately -- to let
them save face.
Sarbanes: I would like to broaden the discussion to the nature of U.S.
foreign policy and providing arms and for what purpose. Aggression
has been committed and we can't back off that principle. People may
differ on that principle, and the Secretary and I part company on it.
But just as we can divide categories of aid, we can divide categories
of Turkish response.
The other concern is Greece. Kissinger seems to assume Greece
will always be there.
Kissinger: No.
Sarbanes: I don't think so and if we move without any justification, I think
there would be an explosion. I know it could even be involved with
Yugoslavia, with Tito's departure and a possible crisis involving Greece.
So I think we must move in a way which does not antagonize Greece.
President: Can you differentiate between sales and grants?
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
7.
Sarbanes: Yes, but I can't turn around on any part of it without anything
on which to rest it. Because of the critical nature of our relationship
to Greece. We want to restore relations with both Greece and Turkey.
I think Turkey has more than it needs. I think it is in Turkey's interests
to resolve this.
Kissinger: I think most of them want a resolution -- maybe even Makarios.
We can't get Turkish progress by 15 July. We also can't get it if there is
a linkage with aid. But the President told Demirel that if the President
sticks his neck out and they don't act, they are then up against the
President also.
Brademas: Then what?
Hamilton: There is another aid bill.
Brademas: We have kept quiet. But it hasn't helped getting Turkish
movement when the Executive keeps making statements trying to get
Congress to turn around.
Whalen: The language is "substantial progress. 11 I think there has been
some.
Kissinger: We can't in good conscience say there has been.
Whalen: Would you rule out John's suggestion on the waiver?
President: It is such a marginal question legally. It puts me out on a
limb. I am not saying you would cut it off, but let's be realistic.
Statements by you on the floor would be helpful.
Taking Lee's idea of making it affirmative action in support of
NATO and sales versus grants, let's see what we can do.
Rosenthal: Findley has a proposal to give NATO $100 million and let
them do it. But the bases problems aren't NATO, but a bilateral problem.
Brademas: Would this proposal.
you are discussing be something
different from a waiver?
President: Right.
Brademas: But the key part of a waiver was a private assurance from
Turkey. If that would be included, I would look at it with an open mind.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
8.
President: I haven't explored this with Caramanlis and Demirel.
Brademas: I think that would be crucial.
Sarbanes: Could we keep a couple of tracks open -- the waiver for
example? We could also phase down what progress there is in line
with what kinds of arms are released. We have tended to look at all
this in total packages. Maybe we need to separate things out.
Whalen: I have concerns of time. It will take time. Second, what would
we do about private assurances? If we start to debate on the floor
Sarbanes: There have been peripheral ones -- to Waldheim - - for
example. Straightening out some lines, maybe. Can we put together
enough peripheral items to justify sales? Maybe. If we can work
together
Congress is helping Greece as against the Turks and the
Executive is helping Turkey as against Greece.
President: I will reexamine the waiver, although I have grace reservations.
If you could look at Lee's ideas
Kissinger: I don't exclude that we could put something together like Paul
says. The best place to do it is at the Greek-Turkish talks at the end of
July.
Rosenthal: We also can't appear to give in to Turkish threats. That would
be a sign to others like Portugal.
Sarbanes: Rather than crumble, maybe we should say we should reevaluate
our policy.
President: But if I use a waiver, doesn't that look like buckling?
Whalen: That is right. We would have to help the President.
Rosenthal: We are all in this together. Let's explore it again.
Sarbanes: The other should be looked at, too. That puts us in the same
boat.
President: We have not only the deadline of the Karamanlis-Demirel talks.
There is also the August recess, the end of the fiscal year, etc. There are
lots of deadlines.

Brademas: If we would put this together I can't think of anything better
for the country right now.
Fascell: I want to table something here about delivering the material
already paid for. There is nothing more basic than the sanctity of a
contract. We have got to consider resolving that.

Kissinger, Secretary of State and\nAssistant to the President for National Security\nAffairs\nCongressman Benjamin S. Rosenthal (D-N.Y.)\nCongressman Lee H. Hamilton (R-Indiana)\nCongressman Charles W. Whalen, Jr. (R-Ohio)\nCongressman Dante B. Fascell (D-Florida)\nCongressman John Brademas (D-Indiana)\nCongressman Paul S. Sarbanes (D-Maryland)\nLt. General Brent Scowcroft, Deputy Assistant\nto the President for National Security Affairs\nDATE AND TIME:\nThursday, June 19, 1975\n8:50 - 10:22 a.m.\nPLACE:\nThe Oval Office\nThe White House\nPresident: This meeting is even more appropriate than when we spoke\nlast week, Ben. There have been some developments since then. There\nis a glimmer of hope -- the Clerides/Denktash talks have gone on, even\nthough there has been no progress yet.\nI met with Karamanlis and Demirel at Brussels. Both of them talked\ntough and they both realize something needs to be done. They had a good\nmeeting together.\nThe Senate vote was close but it was good. Something needs to be\ndone. But before we get into a discussion, I would like Secretary Kissinger\nto bring you up to date on the discussions and on the internal situation in\nTurkey.\nI see Karamanlis nominated Zatsos as President.\nBERALDA\nCONFIDENTIAL\nFOR SECRET XGDS (3)\nCLASSIFIED BY HENRY A. KISSINGER\nDownysted 5/20/04 Lab\nFile scanned from the National Security Adviser's Memoranda of Conversation Collection at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library\nCONFIDENTIAL\n2.\nKissinger: Let me explain where the situation is and what the Turkish\ndomestic situation is. Let me start in February, whatever our views\nabout what happened before.\nI met Bitsios in February. He said he would accept a bizonal\nsolution if we could work out the territorial arrangements. Karamanlis\nwanted a quick solution, to minimize the impact on the Greek domestic\nsituation. I then went on to Turkey, which had a caretaker government.\nThey said they had no power to do anything. But I met with every\nTurkish leader, urging them to put forth specific proposals to resolve the\nsituation and prevent the development of complex international situation\nmaking it more difficult to resolve. They all agreed that they wouldn't\ndiscuss it while the embargo was on. They didn't promise to move after-\nwards, but they certainly would not move before; it would look like they\nwere yielding to pressure. The Greek side has been very conciliatory\nwe couldn't ask for a better position than they are now willing to take.\nDemirel then came in, which complicated the situation. Demirel\ncouldn't accept the deal we had been working on, for domestic reasons.\nIf Ecevit were in office, I am convinced we would now have a solution.\nI went to the CENTO meeting in May not for CENTO but to talk to the\nTurkish leaders. Ecevit won't take a position until the coalition does.\nHe basically wants new elections which he feels certain as do most of\nthe Parliament that he would win. He took Cyprus and he can blame the\ncoalition for giving it away. Demirel was Prime Minister when Turkey\ndidn't move in '67.\nThe President had good talks with Demirel. But Demirel is looking\nfor some way to manage it so he doesn't get beaten to death domestically.\n[He read from the message from Demirel of June 9, at Tab A]\nThis was followed by an intelligence report we received that our\nNATO bases would be closed Monday. It is the non-NATO ones that we are\nmost concerned about. They are of major importance to us. We called in\nthe Ambassador and we got a 30-day extension.\nDemirel wants to be able to show he stood up to the U.S., or to get\nthe embargo lifted so he can show he got something back Ecevit had lost.\nWe expect Turkey to make progress in the Cyprus negotiation\nregardless of the embargo. I think the negotiation is now mostly a matter\nof Greek and Turkish domestic politics. The range of the issues is\nreasonably clear. It is not clear whether either side can make the re-\nquired movement.\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFID ENTIAL\n3.\nThe Turks spent the first 20 minutes with the President talking\nabout the arms embargo. I know there is a difference of opinion about\nour strategy. But I assure you we had no other motive than to bring\nTurkish concessions. Even if the embargo is lifted, progress on Cyprus\nwould be tough. But if the embargo is lifted, they would know the Presi-\ndent's prestige is involved and they couldn't sit. There is still a gap,\nbut it is not unbridgeable. There are only two issues: the nature of the\ncentral government and the territorial division. There is also the issue\nof refugees. [He describes refugee issues. ] If they can break the logjam,\nthe issues aren't too difficult. But getting started is the problem. If\nGreece made a move and it was turned down by Turkey, it would be\ndisastrous for them. If Demirel moves in a way which looks weak, the\ncoalition will break up.\nBrent, will you discuss our installations.\nGeneral Scowcroft: [Described the bilateral installations.\n]\nFascell: If we move, won't we have Greek riots, etc. ?\nKissinger: The Greeks asked the President in Brussels to warn against\nmilitary action, especially in connection with the Aegean. We did so.\nWe are preparing military assistance to Greece but we shouldn't link them.\nFascell: But you think there would be no eruption?\nKissinger: Papandreou and Mavros would complain bitterly. But we are\nconvinced Karamanlis wants to get this behind him. If the embargo was\nlifted and there was no progress, there would be trouble.\nWhalen: Let's get right down to cases. We are concerned and want to do\nsomething. Our way is the Hamilton Amendment which passed the Senate\n41 - 40. Let's face it. You have won some victories which have made the\nfreshmen bitter. We need to resolve it in a way to try to avoid a bitter\nconfrontation. Maybe you have some ideas.\nThe President: What do you all think?\nBrademas: I want to thank you for inviting us, Mr. President. One idea\nI would like to put forth we have mentioned it earlier, but maybe we\ncould modify it some. This idea is to employ the waiver authority. We\nhave checked the legality with the GAO. We would want some private\nassurance that some action was forthcoming acceptable to both sides; then\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\n4.\nthe President could waive the $50 million without Turkey publicly having\nto say anything. To be sure that there is no reneging on the agreement,\nyou could assure them there would be another $50 million coming\nusing both FY 75 and 76 -- that is more than the grant we are now giving.\nIf you announced a reassessment of US-Turkish relations at the\nsame time, it would be a gentle reminder that we don't like ultimatums\nthrown at us. Another idea is to get NATO more involved to soften the\nUS-Turkish aspects of it. As you know, we here are NATO supporters.\nWe voted against NATO cuts. And I tell the Turks I want aid to Turkey.\nI have 450 voting Greeks. I don't need it politically.\nWe know there will be no settlement as good as the Greeks had\nbefore the crisis.\nPresident: We discussed the waiver policy before. The lawyers can\nargue whether the waiver is legal. I think the GAO argument is question-\nable and I as a lawyer think it is probably not right. Suppose I waive and\nwe either don't get a settlement or it isn't satisfactory. Then I am out on\na limb. I don't think that is a satisfactory situation. I talked with Demirel\nfor an hour. He pointed out that there are arms paid for that he can't get\nshipped and is even having to pay for storage. They just don't understand\nthis and the waiver won't answer it.\nBrademas: We are trying to find a way out. I agree, let's forget last\nAugust. But it is virtually impossible for Congress to turn around without\nsomething happening. We must save face and I think it is fundamentally\nwrong. Sure it causes you some problems. But we have the national\ninterest to consider. I am offended by the Turkish ultimatums. I disagree\nwith your waiver interpretation. I agree with Kissinger that the sides\naren't that far apart. If we could get them $50 million, get some move-\nment, another $50 million, more movement and we can end the whole thing\nin 8 - 12 weeks. In the face of the Turkish ultimatum, even if we tried to\njust lift the embargo, we would be hung in effigy.\nPresident: I have spoken with some of the leaders -- Tip, for example.\nKissinger has talked to Burton. You know the Democratic freshman better\nthan I. I have gotten to know some of them, including Hubbard he\nseems to want to help. It might be worth a try for Kissinger and me to\ntalk to them. I am not sure they understand the nature of the problem.\nWhalen: I understand what you both are saying. I see you out on a limb\nwhere you could have a problem. What if we applauded your use of the\nwaiver. That might help.\nCONFIDENTIAL\nBERALD\nCONFIDENTIAL\n5.\nSarbanes: I think a starting premise has to be an understanding of some\naccommodation by the Turks. If we can get that, we can orchestrate\nto save their face. I don't think we can approach the problem from the\nview of just getting the decision changed. I think it was correct. If we\njust change, we would be in the position of sustaining aggression. If\nwe know certain things will be done, there are arrangements which can\nbe made commercial sales, military sales, grants, etc.\nPresident: Let me follow up on that point. There are differences in\nthe kinds of military deliveries and they can be legally treated differently\n-- especially when they have bought and paid for things.\nLet me throw this out. Is there a possibility of exempting sales?\nSarbanes: There is a fundamental premise though, and that is that\nmovement by us without moves by them.\nKissinger: What bugs the Turks is not grant aid - that is within our\nsovereign rights. It is the sales, where they can't get things they have\nbought. So the waiver gets at what bothers them most.\nOn the negotiations, there isn't any minor movement on which we\ncould report. It will be done all together, or not at all. If the Turks\ndecide to move, it will be done in six weeks -- but I can't say when they\nwill decide to move.\nIf Ecevit were in office, we could get a settlement quickly.\nBrademas: That is not Clerides' view. He thinks turning the arms on\nlose us all our leverage. He thinks that sticking fast will put such a bite\non Turkish military that they will force a movement.\nThere is another group in the House which feels more strongly from\na different view -- Rangel.\nHamilton: I think there is a trend in the House that the ban should come off.\nMany who voted for the ban are looking for reasons to change and the trick\nis to come up with something to help them to change. Can't we explore\nsomething other than full restoral? One quirk of the law is that cutoffs\nare in perpetuity. Maybe we could put on a time limit. Maybe we could\npermit enough aid to let Turkey fulfill its NATO commitment. I don't\nthink right now you would get the votes to lift the ban.\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\n6.\nPresident: Have you got some language?\nHamilton: We have been working on some ideas.\nPresident: Why don't we have our people work with you. I can see the\nneed for a parliamentary maneuver to avoid a head-on collision. The\nsituation is bound to deteriorate otherwise -- and it is not only Cyprus.\nDemirel did mention the Aegean and the Greek buildup on the islands.\nThey are just off the Turkish coast. He didn't threaten, but it obviously\nis a concern. If this continues to unravel, with the Middle East situation\nnearby, we could have a holocaust. I can't sit here and do nothing.\nBrademas: But we can't just turn the arms back on without some actions\nby the Turks. That leaves us in an indefensible legal and moral situation.\nThat would put the aid bill in jeopardy if we turned any part of it on without\nany progress from Turkey. We would in that case have to modify our\nposition on the aid bill.\nPresident: We have to be realistic about the situation in Greece and\nTurkey. For either to take a public position would create an impossible\nsituation.\nBrademas: We agree. That is why we want to do it privately -- to let\nthem save face.\nSarbanes: I would like to broaden the discussion to the nature of U.S.\nforeign policy and providing arms and for what purpose. Aggression\nhas been committed and we can't back off that principle. People may\ndiffer on that principle, and the Secretary and I part company on it.\nBut just as we can divide categories of aid, we can divide categories\nof Turkish response.\nThe other concern is Greece. Kissinger seems to assume Greece\nwill always be there.\nKissinger: No.\nSarbanes: I don't think so and if we move without any justification, I think\nthere would be an explosion. I know it could even be involved with\nYugoslavia, with Tito's departure and a possible crisis involving Greece.\nSo I think we must move in a way which does not antagonize Greece.\nPresident: Can you differentiate between sales and grants?\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\n7.\nSarbanes: Yes, but I can't turn around on any part of it without anything\non which to rest it. Because of the critical nature of our relationship\nto Greece. We want to restore relations with both Greece and Turkey.\nI think Turkey has more than it needs. I think it is in Turkey's interests\nto resolve this.\nKissinger: I think most of them want a resolution -- maybe even Makarios.\nWe can't get Turkish progress by 15 July. We also can't get it if there is\na linkage with aid. But the President told Demirel that if the President\nsticks his neck out and they don't act, they are then up against the\nPresident also.\nBrademas: Then what?\nHamilton: There is another aid bill.\nBrademas: We have kept quiet. But it hasn't helped getting Turkish\nmovement when the Executive keeps making statements trying to get\nCongress to turn around.\nWhalen: The language is \"substantial progress. 11 I think there has been\nsome.\nKissinger: We can't in good conscience say there has been.\nWhalen: Would you rule out John's suggestion on the waiver?\nPresident: It is such a marginal question legally. It puts me out on a\nlimb. I am not saying you would cut it off, but let's be realistic.\nStatements by you on the floor would be helpful.\nTaking Lee's idea of making it affirmative action in support of\nNATO and sales versus grants, let's see what we can do.\nRosenthal: Findley has a proposal to give NATO $100 million and let\nthem do it. But the bases problems aren't NATO, but a bilateral problem.\nBrademas: Would this proposal.\nyou are discussing be something\ndifferent from a waiver?\nPresident: Right.\nBrademas: But the key part of a waiver was a private assurance from\nTurkey. If that would be included, I would look at it with an open mind.\nCONFIDENTIAL\nCONFIDENTIAL\n8.\nPresident: I haven't explored this with Caramanlis and Demirel.\nBrademas: I think that would be crucial.\nSarbanes: Could we keep a couple of tracks open -- the waiver for\nexample? We could also phase down what progress there is in line\nwith what kinds of arms are released. We have tended to look at all\nthis in total packages. Maybe we need to separate things out.\nWhalen: I have concerns of time. It will take time. Second, what would\nwe do about private assurances? If we start to debate on the floor\nSarbanes: There have been peripheral ones -- to Waldheim - - for\nexample. Straightening out some lines, maybe. Can we put together\nenough peripheral items to justify sales? Maybe. If we can work\ntogether\nCongress is helping Greece as against the Turks and the\nExecutive is helping Turkey as against Greece.\nPresident: I will reexamine the waiver, although I have grace reservations.\nIf you could look at Lee's ideas\nKissinger: I don't exclude that we could put something together like Paul\nsays. The best place to do it is at the Greek-Turkish talks at the end of\nJuly.\nRosenthal: We also can't appear to give in to Turkish threats. That would\nbe a sign to others like Portugal.\nSarbanes: Rather than crumble, maybe we should say we should reevaluate\nour policy.\nPresident: But if I use a waiver, doesn't that look like buckling?\nWhalen: That is right. We would have to help the President.\nRosenthal: We are all in this together. Let's explore it again.\nSarbanes: The other should be looked at, too.
