North "i'"a-b-~ - Advance Copy of Public Report (see information folder) Tab B - Vice President's Remarks Tab C - Admiral Holloway's Introductory Press Statement cc Vice President Don Regan TAB B DRAFT STATEMENT BY THE VICE PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT'S TASK FORCE ON COMBATTING TERRORISM Na~s BRIEFING WHITE HOUSE PRESS ROOM MARCH 6, 1986 TODAY I AM PROUD TO DELIVER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE RESULT OF THE SIX MONTH EFFORT TO REVIEW OUR POLICIES AND CAPABILITIES TO DEAL WITH TERRORISM. I JUST LEFT THE OVAL OFFICE WHERE PRESIDENT REAGAN RECEIVED THE PUBLIC REPORT OF THE VICE PRESIDENT'S TASK FORCE ON COMBATTING TERRORISM. I CHAIRED THE CABINET-LEVEL STUDY OF HOW WE ARE DOING AGAINST TERRORISM. WE LOOKED AT ALL ASPECTS OF OUR POLICIES, RESOURCES, ORGANIZATION, DIPLOMATIC INITIATIVES, AND LEGAL PROCEDURES. WITH ME TODAY IS THE FORMER CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS, ADMIRAL JIM HOLLOWAY WHO SERVED AS THE EXECUTIVE DI RECTOR OF THE TASK FORCE. LET ME SAY PUBLICLY ~JHAT I TOLD THE PRESIDENT. JIM DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN BUILDING THE COOPERATIVE ATMOSPHERE THAT LEAD THE VARIOUS WORKING GROUPS TO FORMULATE THE SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS. A CLASSIFIED VERSION OF THE REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE PRESIDENT IN DECEMBER. THE PRESIDENT AND I BOTH FELT IT WAS IMPERATIVE THAT ALL OF OUR CITIZENS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT WE ARE DOING TO COME TO GRIPS WITH THE INSIDIOUS THREAT OF TERRORISM. DRAFT DRAFT I KNOW ADMIRAL HOLLOWAY IS PREPARED TO BRIEF YOU MORE COMPLETELY ON THE REPORT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE DEDICATION AND ABILITIES OF ALL PARTS OF THE GOVERNMENT DEALING WITH TERRORISM ON A DAILY BASIS. LET ME REITERATE WHAT THE TASK FORCE AND THE PRESIDENT HAVE STATED CONCERNING OUR POLICY. OUR POLICY IS CLEAR AND REFLECTS THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES AND VALUES UPON WHICH OUR NATION WAS . BUILT. IN OPPOSING TERRORISM WE WILL USE ALL LEGAL MEANS TO PREVENT THESE INCIDENTS OR TO BRING THOSE RESPONSIBLE TO JUSTICE. WE WILL OFFER NO CONCESSIONS TO TERRORISTS BECAUSE THAT ONLY LEADS TO MORE TERRORISM. STATES THAT PRACTICE TERRORISM OR ACTIVELY SUPPORT IT. WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO SO WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE. THIS REPORT DOES NOT PURPORT TO GUARANTEE THE ELIMINATION OF THE T1-1 RE AT • Ho WEVER , I DO BE LIE VE THAT WE HAVE TAKEN THE NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT STEPS TO IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS AND PROPERTY. INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM IS COMPLEX AND DANGEROUS. As NATIONS l~ORK TOGETHER TO RESOLVE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL CONFLICTS IN VOLATILE PARTS OF THE GLOBE, A DECLINE IN TERRORISM CAN BE EXPECTED. UNTIL THAT TIME WE WILL NOT STAND IDLY BY WHILE THESE OUTLAWS INDISCRIMINATELY ATTACK OUR CITIZENS. LET ME TURN YOU OVER TO ADMIRAL HOLLOWAY. THANK YOU. TAB C -~DRAFT STATEMENT BY JAMES L. HOLLOWAY, III EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR VICE PRESIDENT'S TASK FORCE ON COMBATTING TERRORISM NEWS BRIEFING WHITE HOUSE PRESS ROOM MARCH 6, 1986 IN LATE JULY THE PRESIDENT DIRECTED THE FORMATION OF A GOVERNMENT-WIDE TERRORISM TASK FORCE, CHAIRED BY VICE PRESIDENT BUSH. ITS PU RPOSE \~AS TO REVIEW THE NATIONAL PRIORITIES, POLICIES AND PROGRAMS TO COMBAT TERRORISM. THE PRESIDENT REQUESTED THAT A REPO RT WITH APP ROPRIATE RECOMMENDATIONS BE FORWARDED TO HIM BY THE END OF 1985. ON DECEMBER 20TH A CLASSIFIED REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE PRESIDENT. PRESIDENT REAGAN APPROVED THE TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS ON JANUARY 20TH AND DIRECTED THEIR IMPLEMENTATION. ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDED A REPORT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE PUBLIC REPO~T OF THE VICE P~ESIDENT'S TASK FORCE ON COMBATTING TER RORISM WAS PRESENTED TO THE PRESIDENT THIS MORNING. I WOULD LIKE TO OUTLINE BRIEFLY THE TASK fORCE COMPOSitION AND METHODOLOGY, DISCUSS SOME OF THE MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEN I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSUE~ YOU~ QUESTIONS. DRAFT -2- THE TASK FORCE WAS MADE UP OF 14 SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS. As A RESULT, THE REPORT REFLECTS THE CONSIDERED POSITION OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. DURING OUR DELIBERATIONS WE REVIEWED THE SIGNIFICANT LITERATURE ON THE SUBJECT, CONSUL TED WITH MORE THAN IOO EXPERTS ON TERRORISM, TOU RED APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT FACILITIES, AND RECEIVED BRIEFINGS FROM ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES CONCERNED WITH TE RRORISM. ADDITIONALiY, THE VICE PRESIDENT MET PERSONALLY WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AI RLINE AND MEDIA EXECUTIVES, DISTINGUISHED DIPLOMATS, AND FORMER CABINET OFFICIALS. REPRESENTATIVES OF THE TASK FORCE TRAVELED TO I2 FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND CONFERRED WITH OFFICIALS FROM MANY OTHERS. THE FACTS SHOW THAT MOST INTERNATIONAL TERRO RISM OCCURS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND WESTERN EUROPE. HOWEVER, MORE TERRORIST ACTS WERE DIRECTED AT U.S. CITIZENS IN LATIN AMERICA LAST YEAR THAN IN ANY OTHER REGION. BOTH NICARAGUA AND CUBA HAVE BEEN IMPLICATED IN TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN LATIN AMERICA. THE TASK FORCE FOUND THAT TERRORISM HAS A SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC IMPACT FAR DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE NUMBERS OF AMERICANS KILLED OR WOUNDED BY TERRORISTS. FOR EXAMPLE, LAST YEAR THERE WERE 23 AMERICANS KILLED IN TERRORIST INCIDENTS OVERSEAS, AND TWO AMERICANS KILLED BY TERRORISTS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. THIS CONTRASTS TO APPROXIMATELY 40,000 HIGHWAY DEATHS AND 18,000 HOMICIDES NATIONWIDE IN AN AVERAGE -3- YEAR. YET, TERRORISM EMERGES AS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MOST DEEPLY BOTHERS AMERICANS. TERRORISM, ACCORDING TO PUBLIC OPINION SURVEYS, RA NKS NE A R TH E TOP OF TH E I R CO NC ER N S , AL O NG ~JI TH ST RAT EG I C AHM S CONTROL, THE FEDERAL DEFICIT, AND UNEMPLOYMENT. THE PRINCIPAL CONCLUSION OF THE TASK FORCE IS THAT U.S. POLICIES AND PRIORITIES FOR COMBATTING TERRORISM ARE SOUND, WELL-CONCEIVED, AND PROPERLY ORGANIZED. WE DID, HOWEVER, MAKE A SE RIES OF RECOMMENDATIONS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE OUR EFFORTS TO COMBAT THE TERRORIST THREAT. · THESE RECOMMENDATIONS DO NOT PURPO RT TO BE A CURE-All, BUT DO REPRESENT SOME PRAGMATIC AND PRUDENT MEASURES THAT WE BELIEVE WILL IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR ORGANIZATION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR EFFORTS. I WI LL SUM MA RI ZE SOME OF OU I{ PRI NC IP AL REC OM ME ND AT IONS • IN THE AREA OF NATIONAL POLICY AND PROGRAMS, WE PROPOSE: A NATIONAL PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT, DESIGNED TO COLLECT THE MANY ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM INTO AN INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. - A REALISTIC POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR SENIOR DECISION- MAKERS, DESIGNED TO PROVIDE CONSISTENCY WHEN DEALING .WITH TERRORIST INCIDENTS. A FULL-TIME NSC POSITION AND SUPPORT STAFF TO STRENGTHEN COO RDINATION OF THE NATIONAL PROGRAM. -4- IN THE AREA OF INIERNATIONAL COOPERATION, WE CONCLUDED THAT AGREEMENTS WITH LIKE-MINDED GOVERNMENTS ARE CRITICAL TO LONG-TERM SUCCESS AND CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH MULTILATERAL AND BILATERAL COOPERATION. WE RECOMMENDED THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT CONTINUE TO SEEK THIS COORDINATION THROUGH: GE NE RA L RE SOL UT IONS FROM THE UNI TED NAT IONS AND OTHER SPECIALIZED ORGANIZATIONS. BINDING CONVENTIONS ON SUBJECTS SUCH AS HIJACKING AND HOSTAGE-TAKING. REVISION OF EXTRADITION TREATIES TO CLOSE EXISTING LOOPHOLES AND ENSURE THAT TERRORISTS ARE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. IN THE AREA OF INTELLIGENCE, WE RECOGNIZED FROM THE OUTSET OF THE TASK FORCE DELIBERATIONS THE CRITICAL ROLE PLAYED BY INTELLIGENCE IN THE NATIONAL EFFORT TO COMBAT TERRORISM. WE CONCLUDED THAT THE CURRENT INTELLIGENCE PRODUCED ON TERRORISM SHOULD BE MORE PREDICTIV~, WITH . G~EATER EMPHASIS ON THE TYPE OF INFORMATION NEEDED BY SENIOR' DECISIONMAKERS. WE HAVE THEREFORE RECOMMENDED: FORMATION OF A CONSOLIDATED INTELLIGENCE CENTER SPECIALIZING IN TERRORISM, WHERE A CADRE OF EXPERTS FROM VARIOUS GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES WOULD ROUTINELY AND CONTINUOUSLY ANALYZE AND PROCESS INTELLIGENCE RELATED TO THE TERRORIST THREAT. -5- EXPANSION OF OU 1( EFFORT IN THE AREA OF HUMAN INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL IF WE ARE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN PENETRATING TERRORIST GROUPS AND THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEMS. - ENHANCEMENT OF INTELLIGENCE EXCHANGES WITH LIKE-MINDED FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS, WITH INTERNATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND NATIONAL POLICE ORGANIZATIONS. IN THE AREA OF LEGISLATION, THE TASK FORCE OBSERVED THAT TER RORISM IS A BIPA RTISAN ISSUE AND AS THE THREAT HAS INCREASED, SO HAS THE RESOLVE OF CONGRESS AND THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT OF TERRORIS1S. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS CONCENTRATED ON CLOSING EXISTING STATUTORY LOOPHOLES IN OU R ABILITY TO PROSECUTE TERRORISTS AND REDUCE THEIR SOUHCES OF SUPPORT. SOME OF OUR SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDED~ EXPAND FEDERAL CRIMINAL JURISDICTION TO ALLOW PROSECUTION OF TERRORISTS INVOLVED IN ASSAULTS UPON U.S. CITIZENS OVERSEAS. - PURSUE LEGISLATION MAKING TERRORISTS FOUND GUILTY OF MU RDERING AN AMERICAN DURING A HOSTAGE-TAKING SITUATION, SUBJECT TO THE DEATH PENALTY. LIMIT THE SCOPE OF THE POLITICAL OFFENSE EXCEPTION TO OUR EXTRADITION TREATIES, BEGINNING WITH THE U.S. /UK AGREEMENT CU~RENTLY PENDING IN THE SENATE. -6- SUPPORT THE FORMATION OF A CONGRESSIONAL JOINT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE TO STREAMLINE NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES IN TIME-SENSITIVE TERrtORIST SITUATIONS AND REDUCE ACCESS TO HIGHLY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. IN THE AREA OF COMMUNICATION, WE FOUND THAT TERRORISM DEEPLY TROUBLES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AMERICANS BELIEVE TERRORISM AFFECTS CREDIBILITY OF THE UNITED STATES AS A POWERFUL COUNTRY AND WORLD LEADEH. AMERICANS WANT THEIR GOVERNMENT TO DO MORE TO COMBAT TERRORISM. TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE: INCREASE THE EXISTING EFFORTS TO INFORM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT TERRORISM, EMPHASIZING CONSTRAINTS IMPOSEJ BY THE SOVEREIGNTY OF FOREIGN NATIONS AND OUR O~JN CONCERN FOR HUMAN LIVES AND THE ROLE OF LAW. WE THINK IT IMPORTANT TO CAREFULLY EXPLAIN THAT THE UNITED STATES IS PREPARED TO RESPOND TO TERRORISTS OR SPONSORS OF TEHRORISM WITH FORCE IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH OUR DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. COOP EKATE MORE CLO SE LY WITH THE MEDI A DU RI NG TERRORIST INCIDENTS. FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT THE VERY NATURE OF TERRORISM MAKES PRECISE ASSESSMENT DIFFICULT. WHILE TERRORISM POSES NO SERIOUS CHALLENGE TO THE NATIONAL WILL OR NATIONAL SURVIVAL, IT -7- REMAINS A COMPLEX, DANGEROUS THREAT FOR WHICH THERE IS NO QUICK OR EASY SOLUTION. As VICE PRESIDENT BUSH STATED IN THE INTRODUCTION TO THE REPORT: " ... I BELIEVE THAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR TASK FORCE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE AMERICA'S CAPABILITY FOR COMBATTING TERRORISM. As LONG AS VICIOUS ATTACKS CONTINUE, TERRORISM WILL REMAIN A TOP PRIORITY OF THIS ADMINISTRATION." B THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEETING WITH HOUSE REPUBLICAN WHIP ORGANIZATION DATE: Thursday, March 6, 1986 LOCATION: Cabinet Room TIME: 2:30 p.m. (45 minutes) FROM: William L. Ball, III~ I. PURPOSE To provide the President an opportunity to meet with the House Republican Whip Organization and solicit their support for the upcoming legislative battle on assistance to the freedom fighters in Nicaragua. II. BACKGROUND The Whip Organization, led by Republican Whip Trent Lott {R-Mississippi), is the principal Republican vote-getting team in the House. Regional Whips and Assistant Regional Whips are assigned specific Members to contact on any key vote. The members of the Republican Whip Organization have been among the President's most loyal supporters. They will be a major factor in the upcoming votes on Nicaragua, and, indeed, other major issues of importance to the President. While the vast majority of the Whip Organization is already firmly in support of our new package to provide $100 million to the freedom fighters, many have questions on various aspects of the proposal and will be seeking answers to specific questions, so that they can increase their effectiveness in securing affirmative votes on the House Floor. The President met with the Republican Whip Organization in the 97th and 98th Congresses and again in January, 1985, at the start of the 99th Congress. III. PARTICIPANTS See Attachment A. IV.

Kranowitz, Ron Sable~ Lyn Withey, Rick Prendergast, Ed Fox, Dave Bockorny Attachment B TALKING POINTS Trent, it's good to have you and your Whip organization back for a visit. I think we ought to do this more often. Clearly, our biggest challenge for the next two weeks will be to secure adoption of our package of assistance to the freedom fighters in Nicaragua. As I understand it, the four committees (Armed Services, House Foreign Affairs, Intelligence, Appropriations) to which the Michel-Murtha Resolution has been referred will complete action today. It will then go to Rules and then to the floor on the 19th. Does that square with your information, Trent? I know that most of you in this room supported covert, military aid to the freedom fighters last year. Unfortunately, our effort did not prevail. With that in mind, it becomes even more important to have your full support again this year. In fact, I hope the entire Whip organization will be working to help pass Michel-Murtha in the House. 2 Let me now call on George Shultz to describe the package, give us a brief report on the current status of negotiations and other diplomatic efforts in the region, and share his views with us on the importance of passing Michel-Murtha. (SHULTZ COMMENTS) Thank you, George. Since all of you will be in the forefront of the Floor fight, I thought it might be useful in your forthcoming efforts if I share with you a few of the questions I have received in recent weeks and my answers to them: Are our efforts in Nicaragua directly related to the national security of the United States? ANSWER: You bet they are, particularly if we want to preserve the democratic gains we've made in the region and thwart Cuban/Soviet efforts to build a stronghold on the mainland. What are our goals and objectives in Nicaragua? 3 ANSWER: The right of self-determination for the Nicaraguan people, with the appropriate reforms and freedoms that democracy entails leading to the necessary diplomatic settlement. Is there really a connection between the Soviets, the Cubans, and the Sandinista Communists? ANSWER: That connection was in place while our government was providing aid to Nicaragua. They have been getting military equipment and adviser support from Cuba and the USSR since 1979. Further, they are getting assistance from Libya and the PLO. Are the Sandinista Communists really exporting revolution and subversion to their neighbors? ANSWER: The best answer I can give to that is to turn the question around. Where do the five guerrilla groups in El Salvador have their headquarters? -- In Nicaragua, of course. Can the Contras win? 4 ANSWER: Yes, I believe they can. But more importantly, if we don't help, they will lose and we will lose because Cuba and the Soviet Union will have a new foothold on the American continent. And let us never forget -- Managua is only a two-day drive from Harlingen, Texas. I have talked long enough. Let's open up the meeting for general discussion. Trent, why don't you lead off.
