SUBJECT:
Letter from General Franco; Spanish Base Negotiations
Spanish Foreign Minister Lopez Bravo was in Washington April 13-14
to continue discussions with Secretary Rogers and Under Secretary
Johnson on our military facilities in Spain and the proposed general
agreement for cooperation. Lopez Bravo stated that the Spanish
Government is willing for the U.S. to maintain all our facilities in
Spain, though he made plain that Spain would in return need material
assistance to ensure its security. Differences in the draft texts of
the general agreement of cooperation have been narrowed. There is
still a hope on both sides that full agreement will be reached in order
to enable Secretary Rogers to sign an agreement during his May 29
visit to Madrid.
Lopez Bravo gave the Secretary a letter from General Franco to you
(the text is at Tab A) in reply to your letter of March 18 (Tab B).
Franco's letter is very warm, and makes the following points:
-- he wishes to continue Spanish-US cooperation in order
to contribute to our mutual security and the defense of the West;
-- Spain places great hopes in cooperation with us, and
trusts that the negotiations will soon lead to positive results;
-- Franco has most pleasant memories of your visit to
him in 1963, and would be very happy if, at a convenient time, you would
accept his invitation to visit Spain as President.
Since Franco's letter is in response to your letter, I do not think any
reply is necessary.
