A cover memorandum from Carlucci to Brzezinski reads, “1) We received a report this morning [less than 1 line not declassified] on the reasons behind President Lopez-Portillo’s decision to break off gas negotiations with the U.S. We are attaching a copy of the report which contains comments critical of the U.S. Administration. In the report as received the critical comments referred specifically to President Carter but were altered in the disseminated version to refer to the U.S. Administration. We regret that the report was disseminated in this manner rather than in the more sensitive memorandum format. 2) We will not carry the information in any of our publications, including the President’s Daily Brief. You may therefore wish to discuss the report personally with the President.” An August 17 handwritten note by Denend on Carlucci’s memorandum reads, “Paul Henze only has seen this letter from Carlucci before forwarding it to you.”
