of the various facilities. If during the course of
negotiations it becomes necessary, because of limita-
tions on the quid pro quo which we can offer or
because of a Spanish desire for a reduced U.S. presence,
to release or to move certain facilities out of Spain
or to move to less visible locations in Spain, this
list will serve as the guide to our negotiators.
Quid Pro Quo:
As recently as February 27 the Spanish Ambassador
speaking on instruction said that Spain did not consider
money the primary quid pro quo in a new agreement, but
that Spain had "abandoned the idea of granting bases
for money.' He said, rather, that Spain wanted to
put principal emphasis on obtaining a defense guarantee
and protection with U.S. assistance through multilateral
arrangements. The GOS, in terms of quid pro quo in the
negotiations, he stated, is looking for "a multilateral
solution based on the Atlantic or Mediterranean, provided
a satisfactory agreement could be reached previous to
the expiration of the present Agreements."
1. 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);
