MEMORANDUM FOR: The Honorable William P. Clark
Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs
1. The CIA will undertake the study on economic sanctions
that you requested on 7 August. We plan on completing this
project by early November.
2. As currently envisioned, the study will consist of two
parts. The first will be a broad analytic overview designed to
assess the effectiveness of economic sanctions and evaluate the
factors that influence their impact. The overview will draw from
the second part -- a series of case studies that we will
undertake on specific instances where economic sanctions were
applied. We would expect to do a dozen or so such case
studies. They will look at objectives of the sanctions, their
economic impact, political effect the lessons to be drawn
from their specific application.
3. I have assigned responsibility for this project to
Office of Global Issues in the Directorate of Intelligence
John N. McMahon
Acting Director of Central Intelligence
