TO. The Secretary of State
The Secretary of Defense
The Secretary of the Treasury
The Administrator, Agency for international
Development
~- --The Director of Central Intelligence
1. The deficit in our balance of payments and the
problems associated with it continue to be major problems
which influence national security policy along a broad front.
The prospects that they will cease to do so in the immediate
future are not bright. I think we must, therefore, make sure
that financial elements in our relations with other countries
are given a proper weight in any transactions we have with
them. Conversely, we must be sure that any financial trans-
actions and arrangements we make with other countries tie
in with our broader foreign policy needs.
2. I therefore request that the Secretary of State, in
exercising his coordinating responsibilities for all our dealings
with other countries, give special attention to this point. He
should see that the Secretary of the Treasury is informed in a
timely way of significant forthcoming; negotiations or renegoti-
ations on any topic involving those foreign countries with which
our financial relations are particularly i ziportant. I request
the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of AID and, in
those cases in which he is concerned, the Director of Central
Intelligence, to review the arrangements for keeping the Secre-
tary of State informed on those negotiations on which they have
the primary action responsibility so that he can peri'orm this
task effectively. The Secretary of the Treasury, in turn, will
provide the Secretary of State, and others concerned, his
estimate of our financial interests and financial possibilities
in any such negotiations.
