Free trade is fair trade, therefore we have pursued our rights under GATT to insure access for our producers in other markets and to counteract governmental interventions where they give foreign producers an unfair trading advantage. o Success of the Administration's efforts to keep our markets open depends in part upon the perception that other countries are also resisting protectionism. o A new round of multilateral negotiations in the GATT has special significance in this regard; the new round will demonstrate the commitment of all GATT members further to liberalize world trade. 2 h 0 UNCLASSIFIED Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP87M00539R003205330010-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP87M00539R003205330010-2 EXECUT ESE RETARIAT ROUTI1 SLIP TO: I I AC C/EUR/DO STAT EXDIR Compt D/OGI/DI 21 OCRII)i 1, -1 A ESaw,.. x SUSPENSE 19 NOV 85 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP87M00539R003205330010-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP87M00539R003205330010-2 8534157 thru 8534193 United States Department of State Wnshinntnn_ 1).1"- 20520 rE i LIMITED OFFICIAL USE WITH SECRET ATTACHMENT MEMORANDUM TO: November 15, 1985 Mr. Whitehead Mr. Armacost Mr. Wallis Mr. Schneider Mr. Spiers Mr. Derwinski Mr. Crocker Mr. Abrams Ms. Clark Mr Wolfowitz Mr. .

C. 2(152(i SAMPLE BRIEFING OUTLINE TO: The Secretary THROUGH: P - Mr. Armacost FROM: EUR - Richard Burt SUBJECT: Meeting with French Foreign Minister Dumas, Breakfast, Thursday, June 6, 7:30-8:30 1. US-FRENCH RELATIONS o Both we and French have been attempting to downplay disagreements from Bonn Summit. o Mitterrand's domestic difficulties and desire to represent collective European interests to US could lead to more French assertiveness. Point to Make: Essential we avoid surprises in our relations. Need for frequent and effective consultations. II. SDI/EUREKA o French reluctant on SDI NAC language. o May accept public expression of support for research, in exchange for private commitment to intensified consultations among key allies. o French misgivings about SDI pre-date summit; fear SDI will undermine nuclear deterrence and widen US-European technology gap. 0 French agree with US efforts to stay ahead of Soviets but do not accept participation at this time. rule out participation by individual firms. Do not 0 French EUREKA proposal remains vague. Described as European response to American technological challenge, not SDI per se. _ French maintain EUREKA complementary to SDI as it concentrates on civilian research. Gaining support from others: UK, FRG, Norway, etc. SECRET Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP87M00539R003205330010-2 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP87M00539R003205330010-2 SECRET Points to Make: US not pushing on participation; door remains open. French companies would participate on equal footing with US participants and not, as a policy, be restricted to subsidiary role. Communique is occasion to express Alliance solidarity, will strengthen hand at Geneva. Willing to consult more intensively. Deployment decision years away; when time comes, will consult allies and negotiate with Soviets. Meanwhile, will comply with treaty constraints. Appreciate your views on EUREKA. III. NEW TRADE ROUND o French downplaying Bonn Summit dispute on starting date for new trade round. Mitterrand told press France could participate in new round as early as 1986 if conditions were met. Foreign Trade Minister Cresson downplayed progress on monetary reform as a precondition during her May 13 call on the Deputy Secretary. French willing to discuss agriculture but conditioning on extensive preparation on more difficult issues, i.e. services, high technology. o Mitterrand's Bonn stance won wide domestic approval. French unlikely to cease vocal opposition soon. Points to Make: Disappointed you could not agree to fix date for new round in Bonn. It remains urgent to move ahead with planning for new round. Need to move quickly to stem protectionism. IV. EAST-WEST RELATIONS o France our stongest allied supporter on Poland policy. o Gorbachev visit to Paris later this year could produce initiatives to defrost French relations with Kremlin. Points to Make Although Soviets willing to talk, they unwilling to make tough decisions to improve relations.

What are prospects for Gorbachev Paris visit later this year? French support on INF helped bring Soviets to negotiate and could again play similar significant role in Geneva. Need to be patient at Geneva. Will not reward Soviet intransigence; cannot accede to one-sided impractical Soviet demands to ban SDI research. In round two, we do intend to elaborate our thinking on managing the transition to a defense-reliant environment. V. NICARAGUA o French disagreement with US policy on Nicaragua, particularly sanctions, now emerging more openly. o Ortega received by Mitterrand May 13. Increased French economic aid and stepped-up diplomatic support for Nicaragua possible. o French trying to coordinate EC response to sanctions. Points to Make: Sanctions in response to US judgement Managua's foreign and domestic policies are destabilizing and threaten regional and US security. Sanctions are a signal of US displeasure with Nicaraguan policy and our determination to resist subversion and protect our security interests and those of our friends. Sanctions will be removed once Nicaragua abandons its destabilizing actions in the region. We remain committed to the Contadora process. VI. LEBANON o Two French journalists disappeared May 23. Two other French hostages (Fontaine and Carolles) remain in terrorist hands. o French found Syrian Foreign Minister Shara instransigent toward internationalization of Lebanon issue during his May 21-23 Paris visit. o French calling for greater international role in Lebanon, neutralization of conflict and northern UNIFIL deployment.

GOL functioning only sporadically. Syria pressuring all factions. Syrian role represents long term risk to traditional Lebanese pro-western orientation and sovereignty. VII. SETTING With disappointing economic results in March and April, Mitterrand continues to be beset by domestic difficulties. The widespread domestic approval of his positions at Bonn may encourage him to seek to enhance his prestige at home through increased international assertiveness. While seeking ways to neutralize French resistance and advance our European agenda, we will need to avoid entanglement in the French domestic political debate. Two senior French opposition leaders, former president Giscard and neo-Gaullist leader Chirac, plan Washington visits this summer. Prime Minister Fabius may also seek a Washington visit in July. Dumas arrives in Lisbon fresh from his first visit to key African ally Senegal. He visited Tripoli in April where he met Qadhafi. Dumas recently became the first French foreign minister to visit Prague since the Soviet invasion in 1968. VII.

Ministers endorsed the U.S. approach to the Geneva talks. They also agreed that Western patience and realism remain the keys to improving relations with the Soviets. East-West Relations -- Ministers reviewed all major aspects of East-West relations as well as other important issues during the past two days. -- NATO remains thoroughly united behind the overall strategy for East-West relations we endorsed in Washington last May with its emphasis on defense and dialogue. We call upon the Soviets and their Allies to respond in an equally constructive spirit. Arms Control -- Ministers endorsed basic U.S. approach to Geneva talks. They support our emphasis on limiting offensive nuclear weapons. We agreed to continue our close consultations on arms control matters. Allies realize the Soviets will seek to create and exploit appearances of Allied differences. Allies generally agree with need for SDI research in light of Soviets' own vigorous R & D programs U.S. stressed that SDI research is aimed at enhancing deterrence and will comply with existing treaties. SDI-related deployment would be a matter for consultations and negotiation with the Soviets. Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP87M00539R003205330010-2
