THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON SECRET MEMORANDUM FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: Spanish Opposition to US Oceans Policy/Straits Proposal Continuing Spanish opposition to the US proposal for freedom of transit through international straits has given me cause for deep concern. In the letter accompanying this memorandum, I have written General Franco to express that concern, to review the security considerations underlying our straits proposal, and to emphasize the great importance we attach to international accep- tance of that proposal. Please deliver this letter personally, reemphasizing the importance we attach to our straits proposal and our hope that Spain will join us in safeguarding the vital interests involved. I have instructed Ambassador Hill and the Department of State Legal Advisor to accompany you on this call. SECRET
