or to move to less visible locations in Spain, this
list should serve as the guide to our negotiations.

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
