Resistance activities since the imposition of martial law generally have involved the young. Rebellious acts v by high school students have included the printing and distribution of leaflets and the formation of small and corrupt system created and tolerated by their elders. Top Secret Martial law hit hardest at Poland's younger genera- tion. The drive for reform by Solidarity and its allies in student and agricultural circles was a revolt led primarily by this generation against the inefficient end University students are more of a problem, and the authorities have moved cautiously to remove some popular and liberal rectors and professors. The regime's appre- hension was demonstrated earlier this week when the military authorities had to threaten se Warsaw University to prevent a strike. Comment: Although students have seemed increasingly willing to test the limits of martial law, most realize the futility of protest and fear the brutality of the security services and the loss of jobs. In the event of a clash, they probably could not count on help from the workers. The party, which has little to offer young people and cannot meet either their economic or political as- pirations, will continue to rely on the threat of force. The Central Committee plenum probably will produce nothing more than platitudes. 29 April 1982 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Airbase Naval base 0 i00 T.Mor6n Madrid* rrej6n de Ardoz S p a i n `ti Gibraltar (U.K.) Algeria 631706 4-82 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210 -2 4.Zaragoza Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 0SPAIN-US: Tougher Negotiating Position The Spanish Government, backed by the military, is taking an increasingly hard Line in its,neaotiations toward a new bilateral bases agreement with the US. Chief Spanish negotiator Manueco was unusually blunt late last week in rejecting US proposals that Madrid believes would permit the US to use bases for out-of-NATO activities without Spanish approval. He said the proposed changes in the basic text would make the entire draft un- acceptable. agreement. Civilian politicians, generally held in low esteem by the military, feel under considerable pressure to produce an agreement demonstrably better than the one / in force, which was negotiated in the last days of the Franco regime. Many officials, moreover, seem to believe that entry into NATO this spring will make Spain less dependent on the US for military support, thereby reduc- ing the need to find acceptable compromises on the bases f any language changes. Comment: Madrid's tough stance is to some degree a bargaining tactic. It also reflects, however, genuine (concern about the conservative military's reaction to 29 April 1982 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Iq Next 4 Page(s) In Document Denied Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 EC: Budget Dispute Continues tain the facade of EC unity. Comment: Despite the UK's desire to maintain fragile EC unity on sanctions against Argentina, London refuses to acknowledge any link between sanctions and British positions on internal EC problems. The Danes and the Irish believe that London should moderate its rebate demands in return for EC support on the Falklands crisis, but most members appear willing to separate the issues. The French and West Germans even suggested the budget problem be dropped from the agenda in an attempt to main- Argentina. At the EC Foreign Ministers' meeting in Luxembourg on Tuesday, London continued to block progress on set- tling the budget and farm price issues. Although the other nine members reportedly agreed to offer the UK a three-year rebate on its budget contribution of about $800 million annually, London is holding out for a five-year, $1.4 billion annual rebate. Foreign Secre- tary Pym again refused to lift the UK's block on setting farm prices in 1982 until the budget problem is resolved. Pym did not seek additional EC economic measures against 29 April 1982 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 FRANCE: Review of Arms Control Policy arms control. The Mitterrand government is reviewing its policy toward NATO consultations on strategic nuclear arms control, hoping to strengthen its hand in resisting pressure to accept restraints on French nuclear systems. Specifically, Paris is reconsidering its decision of 1979 not to participate in NATO's Special Consultative Group on INF nego- tiations. A decision to join the group would tend to reinforce NATO's stand on INF deployment and to strengthen sentiment among the West European Allies for a greater say in matters of strategic v Paris also is against including French forces in any ceiling on US systems. The French argue that their wea- pons are under strict national control and would be used to pursue unilateral rather than Alliance objectives. 2/ and modernized. The reassessment stems from concern that France's nuclear deterrent would be weakened if it were included, even indirectly, in an INF or START agreement. The / French insist that if their comparatively small systems are to be credible deterrents. they have to be maintained France is increasingly aware, however, that tolerance for its position is wearing thin. The French apparently 1 worry that the USSR will become more insistent on limiting French and UK nuclear deterrents as part of an arms con- trol agreement with the US. Paris almost certainly is aware that its growing nuclear arsenal will complicate the task of Soviet strategic planners after the mid-1980s. Despite assurances from the US that it will reject J Soviet efforts to introduce Allied systems into INF nego- tiations, Paris probably sees an erosion of Allied sup- port for its position. West Germany believes French and 29 April 1982 Top Secret Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 UK systems must eventually be included in INF or START, a position reflected in the security resolution passed j at the Social Democratic Party congress last week. Bonn probably could line up support for its position among talks. Moreover, the Mitterrand government may anticipate problems at home with its "no negotiation" stance. Although the Socialist Party has supported Mitterrand's / opposition to including French forces in strategic arms ,/negotiations, some party officials recently have sug- gested that France cannot indefinitely advocate arms control while barring French systems from international INF negotiations. Advantages of a Policy Change These considerations have prompted Paris to rethink tactics for gaining maximum influence over nuclear arms control developments. Membership in the SCG is increas- ingly attractive because it would give Paris a better J forum to defend its interests in the INF negotiations. /For example, Paris could argue against premature modifi- 3 cations of the US negotiating posture and resist pressure in the Alliance to include nuclear-capable aircraft in the 5J covered by the INF talks. France, in return for joining the SCG, also might attempt to win US support for changing the SCG mandate / to include START as well as INF, or for creating a new NATO mechanism for START consultations. The Mitterrand government favors a closer link between INF and START, arguing that it is artificial and undesirable to separate the European nuclear balance from the overall strategic 7 relationship between the superpowers. In addition, the I~ French might see the SCG as a vehicle to express their concern that the US zero option proposal would leave Western Europe vulnerable to Soviet nuclear weapons not 3 toward full reintegration with NATO. If it joined the SCG, the Mitterrand government would continue to oppose including French forces in the current round of INF negotiations. It also would take pains to refute domestic criticism that it was moving 29 April 1982 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Implications of French Policy Shift A decision to join the SCG probably would reinforce 3 Allied cohesion on INF deployment by offsetting the antinuclear bias of some of the smaller Allies. It also might increase French willingness to consult on strategic of US and Soviet systems. If the French insisted on expanding the NATO con- sultative process to START, however, their membership in the SCG could complicate US efforts to limit Allied influence over US negotiating positions on strategic 3 arms control. Moreover, French participation in NATO consultations on START would strengthen West European support for the current ABM treaty. A revised ABM treaty permitting the expansion of ABM systems would threaten the credibility of the French deterrent mere than that Top Secret 29 April 1982 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 r Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2 Top SC\-1 UL Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/03/16: CIA-RDP84T00301 R000200010210-2
