ACTION
June 19, 1969
MEMORANDUM FOR MR. KISSINGER
FROM:
Helmut Sonnenfeldt
SUBJECT: Presidential Letter to Franco
During the preparations for renewal of the Defense Agreement with
Spain, the Spanish let it be known that they would be very grateful if
the message to General Franco from the President, passed orally
on June 8, could be sent in written form. The message, as you recall,
expressed satisfaction at the conclusion of the renewal negotiations,
and indicated the President's strong interest in the maintenance of
good relations with Spain.
Alex Johnson has proposed that the letter be given to Castiella by
Secretary Rogers at the time of the signing of the renewal on June 20
(Tab B). I agree that this would probably help soothe Spanish feelings,
and would be a desirable step.
There is a memorandum for the President at Tab A.
RECOMMENDATION:
That you sign the memorandum at Tab A.
