Post Geneva Thoughts for Activities II. Geneva/Brussels Update III. Items that Should be Referred to Regan/McFarlane I r draft of November 13, 1985 Public Diplomacy Strategy Post Geneva The immediate followup to the Geneva meeting will be as important as the preparations in shaping public perceptions of the event. Despite the inevitable decline in press and media interest following weeks of intensive coverage, we should maintain the momentum of our public diplomacy effort to ensure that our interpretation of the results is understood and accepted. Whatever our explanations about the purpose of the meeting, the media will focus on outcomes, and on whether there is demonstrable progress in key areas of the US-Soviet relationship, particularly arms control. The Soviets have attempted to focus attention exclusively on the threat of nuclear war in order to make the case that progress in arms control is the only progress that matters. They have been preparing to lay the hlame for lack of results at the US door, citing SDI as the main obstacle to arms reductions, dismissing the President's regional initiative, and muting criticism of their human rights practices by minimal getures and hints of further movement. Our approach therefore should be to focus on all four areas of the relationship, repeat the positive proposals we have made, discuss the importance of the process of reducing mistrust and narrowing differences -- which the Geneva meeting gave momentum to, and continue to stress that results of the meeting will be measured by what happens in the montQs and years to come.
