FROM: SA/DCI/IA
SUBJECT: Meeting with Vice President Bush,
23 December 1982
1. Yesterday you ticked off a series of items that
you wish to raise with Secretary Shultz and added that you
would also mention them to the Vice President. In addition,
I called Bush's office and obtained from one of his staffers,
Phillip Hughes, some additional topics which Bush would be
interested in discussing. The following, therefore, includes
all of the above inputs:
-- Central America. Included is the set of Talking
Points prepared yesterday for Bob Gates to use
at the Crisis Pre-Planning Group, which met
yesterday and is meeting again today on Suriname.
You will have seen these notes in your Clark book.
In addition, you have the memo from 25X1
outlining his concerns regarding Suriname,
Nicaragua, Argentina, and the overall review of
US policy including public diplomacy.

region as a result of his recent trip to Africa.

to figure out where Iran is going. He apparently

in what the new Soviet leadership may do. I have

power. Bush may not have seen this latter study.
Europe/INF. According to Bush's staff, in addition
to his concern about the political wisdom of

Talking Points together for you to use. Bush's
precise itinerary has not yet been firmed up.

-- Leaks. You mentioned that you would like to raise
this subject. Included is a recent memo from
to McMahon forwarding a memo from 25X1
who has suggested some actions 25X1
that mig t be taken independent of the Willard
Report. supports Bob's ideas, but 25X1
asked him to tack e the analytical project
without help from an outside contractor. McMahon
did not pass this memo on to you because he was
concerned that it would be inappropriate to
end-run the White House. Sporkin reports that
Baker and others are reviewing the draft NSDD.
In addition, I have included the Executive
Summary of the Willard Report for your reference.
2. This is a rather lengthy agenda but I have tried to
anticipate a wide range of topics which are likely to come up.
Please let me know if there is anything else that would be
useful for your discussion.
