MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
Deputy Director for Operations
John Helgerson, ADDI
Dave Gries, D/OLL-designate
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: GOP Leadership Meeting, 21 January 1986
1. The leadership meeting received good presentations and they seemed
very supportive of new initiatives in Angola and Nicaragua. Michel said it
will be tough in the House, but he could pass it out. It is important that
we give good, solid briefings on where we are and what we face, particularly
in Nicaragua, and to some degree in Angola.
2. I had od words with Durenberger and Stump. It seems to me they
should get thlelgerson/Vickers briefing or some combination thereof.
Michel said he is going to see Savimbi and wants a briefing on both Angola
and Nicaragua. I told him he would hear from on that.
Bob Dole should also get a briefing and I will call to arrange it if that is
necessary. Cheney was not at the meeting so I was not able to talk to him
about the visit of the Pastora people. I think that can handle
3. I told Durenberger that I had a conflict between his SSCI briefing
and the Worldwide briefing of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He seemed
to readily defer and suggested I would probably need a little more time when
I return from my trip to prepare for the SSCI in any event, so he appeared
amenable to putting that off. Dave Gries should begin orchestrating all
this and the DDCI and I will give whatever support is necessary.
4. In my discussion with the President, he is supportive of our plans
as are Shultz, Poindexter and Weinberger
le Resolution in support of Savimbi is acted
upon, and at the leadership meeting Dole committed to moving on that.
