218. Memorandum for the Record1
SUBJECT
- DCI and DDCI Meeting with Secretary of State, 15 July 1983
1. The following topics were discussed:
[Omitted here is material unrelated to Morocco.]
— Morocco: Relations with the US. The DCI cited the King of Morocco’s need for moral support in dealing with the IMF and regarding the reprogram to El Salvador of $52 million originally slated for Morocco.2 Eagleburger said that they had some measures they could undertake to fix the situation. The DDCI suggested that the Secretary visit Morocco to assure him of continued US support. Shultz said he was not eager to travel, but said that he is going to Algeria in September. The DDCI said that if he were to visit Algeria it would be imperative that he visit Morocco first. Shultz said he would visit Spain at the end of this month. The DCI said that he suggests that it would just be a hop [Page 467] over to Morocco and that he ought to do it. The Secretary seemed to be persuaded.
Action: Per the DDCI’s request, I notified the DDI/NESA, DDI/CPAS, and DDI/EURA, as well as DDO/NESA and DDO/EUR to be sure to provide the Secretary with appropriate intelligence support.
