223. Memorandum From Secretary of State Shultz to President Reagan1

Washington, March 1, 1984

[Omitted here is material unrelated to Morocco.]

4. Morocco: Official Visit of the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Karim-Lamrani and I met late this afternoon to summarize the results of his visit.2 We have signed a major agreement, for expansion of the existing Voice of America broadcast facility, and initialed another, a bilateral investment treaty. We have found additional funds for FY 84 PL–480 and have restored some FMS credits. I believe we have been successful in reassuring the Moroccans of our commitment to develop assistance programs in FY 85 and FY 86 which take Morocco’s great needs into account. (S)
