SECRET - 6 - - We must identify - A sustainable price we can pay to keep them in terms of what we can realistically expect from Congress, and the effect on our posture toward Spain. (State has provided an assessment of what quid pro quo Spain may demand). (At Tab - State Issues Paper) - If Spain's price for what we want to keep (and they are willing to let us keep) exceeds the sustainable price we can pay we must then be in a position to sit down with them and have a rational discussion of what we can do. C. We should have these agreed assessments of priorities and sustainable price next week in order that negotiations can begin as soon as possible (DOD wants negotiations to begin Immediately; State does not think they need to begin in February). 5. The Second Immediate Issue Is: What posture should the US adopt with respect to forthcoming Spain-European Community (EC) negotiations? - By remaining silent (Option 1) or raising pro-forma objections (Option 2) we are in effect acquiescing in the agreement and in like EC agreements with other countries, since the Spanish case represents an important precedent. - These deals would have serious effects on our trade and would undermine the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
