present Defense Agreement, i,e., September 1970. We
may not, in fact, be able to make aly of them materialize
within that period. We must, therefore, get the Spanish
Government to accept our earnest and sincere efforts
as quid pro quo in itself.
2. General Cooperation Treaty
Spain has expressed an interest in a General
Cooperation Treaty which, in addition to endorsing a
continued base agreement, would largely affirm existing
cooperative accords in the educational, scientific,
space, atomic energy, and other fields. We are
presently drafting such a treaty, which would be
submitted for the advice and consent of the Senate.
From the Spanish standpoint, the treaty would serve
to dignify our bilateral relationship by dramatizing
the broad scope of cooperative arrangements. It
should, therefore, be helpful in reducing the amount
of funds needed for quid pro quo. Care will have
to be taken in the drafting of such a treaty to avoid
language which might be construed by the Senate as
involving additional defense commitments. For their
part, the Spanish will be anxious to avoid prolonged
and hostile Congressional debate.
3. Education Assistance
This is a most promising area for exploration.
An important objective should be to strengthen the
basic U.S. relationship with Spain through a major
program of cooperative assistance to Spain's radical
and comprehensive educational reform program. Spain
has shown strong interest in U.S. support for its
educational reform plan, which is expected to be
approved by the Spanish Parliament in early April.
The teacher training aspects of the plan would
enable us to influence the shaping of Spanish youth
for years to come. The Department of State is now
spending about $180,000 on academic exchanges with
Spain. This existing program could be expanded to
