MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence

FROM: Executive Director
SIJBJI:CT: Assessments of Third World Countries
REFERENCES: A. Your Memorandum dated 29 March 1982, Subject:
Assessment of Strategically Situated Third World Countries
B. My Memorandum dated 25 March 1982, Subject: Jamaica
1. We have two efforts underway to follow-up on the referenced memoranda. I
have asked the DDI, in coordination with the DDO, to prepare a paper identifying
countries in the Caribbean tl+nt are favorably oriented toward the United States and that
could profit from U.S. aid (i.e., Jamaica). This will include the amount of U.S. aid these
countries have received the last few years, what is projected for this year, end what they
would receive from the President's Caribbean Basin Initiatives. Promises made at
Cancun will also be included. This paper should he completed before 19 April-the NSC
is planning a meeting sometime that week on Caribbean and Central American policy. (I
understand the working level expects this session to focus on military/security policy for
Central America, but this paper will provide you a much broader focus.)
2. The DDI has also developed a concept paper and terms of reference for the
broader assessment you requested on Third World countries. Thin paper will focus on the
status of about 30 countries end their implications for U.S. policy. It should be
completed the first week of June.
