SECRET - 9 - in Schedule C (developed countries) of the Foreign Direct Investment Program has reduced American investment in Spain to the detriment of the Spanish economy. They argue that they should have been put into Schedule A (less developed countries). They would undoubtedly be satisfied with a reclassification into Schedule B (countries heavily dependent on U.S. investment, such as the U.K.).

It would give the Spanish Government a concrete concession in the economic field which it could publicize. We therefore propose to offer the Spanish reclassification from Schedule C to Schedule B. g.

In accordance with NSDM 45, we will oppose the Spanish-EC agreement as presently proposed, but will indicate our acceptance of any arrangement consistent with the GATT rules which Spain and the EC might work out, such as one which provides a definite SECRET
