SEGRET

Western nations over the recent increase in Soviet naval
strength in the Mediterranean. It is to counter this poten-
tial threat by maintaining the maximum strategic flexi-
bility for our own forces and those of our allies that we
have proposed a right of free transit through and over
international straits. We have concluded that an interna-
tional agreement recognizing this right would benefit all
countries interested in maintaining the political and mili-
tary balance on which world stability is presently based.
We have discussed these issues with officials of your
Government and will continue to do so, but I wanted you to
know of my deep personal concern. This is why I have
asked the Vice President personally to deliver this letter
to you. I will welcome your views on this subject and I
know that the Vice President will also be pleased to dis-
cuss the matter further with you.
With warm regards,
Sincerely,
Richard Nifer
His Excellency
General Francisco Franco Bahamonde
Chief of the Spanish State
Madrid
