the expiration of the present Agreements."
a. NATO Link
Our ability to persuade our allies to accept a NATO-
Spanish relationship will be an important element in the
negotiations.
While we believe full Spanish membership in NATO
will be strongly resisted for political reasons as long
as Franco lives, an arrangement short of full membership
may be palatable to our allies, if we are prepared to
exert strong pressure on the grounds of the importance
to NATO defense of our continued access to Spanish bases.
Depending upon Spanish wishes, we could explore several
kinds of arrangements:
- military liaison arrangements between Spain
and those NATO commands in the Eastern Atlantic
and Mediterranean, i.e. IBERLANT, and AFSOUTH
(MARAIRMED and/or AIRSOUTH) ;
- regular consultations between SACEUR and the
Government of Spain on military matters of
mutual interest;
- establishment of, and full Spanish participation
in a "NATO-Iberian Training Complex", enabling
NATO forces to meet weapons training requirements
at Spanish and Portuguese facilities, and which
might involve the participation of the UK, FRG,
