Subject Follow-up to NSDD-96 in the IG-IEP
The IG-IEP has been tasked with developing information and
policy options for consideration by the SIG-IEP in implementing
NSDD-96 on the management of the international debt problem. One
working group has already been formed to examine the role of U.S.
Government guarantee programs in managing the international debt
problem. k
Marc Leland will chair a meeting of the International Debt
IG-IEP next Tuesday, August 2, to examine the ways in which pro-
tectionist practices of developed and developing countries relate
to the handling of the international debt problem. The meeting
will be held at 11:00 a.m., in Room 4121 of the Main Treasury
Building. Attendance will be principal, plus one.

National Intelligence Council
MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Maurice C. Ernst
NIO for Economics
SUBJECT: Policy on the LDC Debt Problem
REFERENCE: NSDD #96, 9 June 1983
1. During the preparation of the NSDD on the international debt
problem, a split developed between Treasury and the NSC Staff on how to
handle strategic planning of policy options that might require substantial
modification of the current ad hoc approach. In order to accommodate
Treasury's legitimate concern that information on formal contingency
planning would leak, and consequently would scare financial markets, it was
agreed that a small group with representatives from the most concerned
agencies would be established under the general sponsorship of the SIG-IEP,
but without formal status or agenda. After a good deal of foot-dragging on
Treasury's part, the group is finally going to meet next Monday,
1 August. Representation apparently will be at about the Assistant
Secretary level. Harry Rowen will receive the invitation as your
representative. No formal memoranda apparently will be circulated.
2. My impression is that the group is to examine the debt problem in
a broad, relatively long-term framework so that the Administration can
consider how various programs (financing, trade, etc.) may need to be
modified, or if necessary new programs created, to deal with major
contingencies as they arise. Specific policy recommendations will continue
to develop through the IG and SIG-IEP.
3. CIA clearly has an important role to play in support of this
effort. The NIE on the medium term political implications of the debt
crisis, which is now in train, will address some of the most critical
issues which have so far been untreated in the interagency work on the debt
problem. DDI monthly assessments on the debt problem and building block
analysis of major trends affecting the debt problem, such as the response
of LDC exports to OECD economic recovery, also will be useful.
