NATIONAL SECURITY DECISION
DIRECTIVE NUMBER 34
U.S. ACTIONS IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC CRISIS
Pursuant to the decisions reached at the meeting of the
National Security Council of April 30, 1982, we are taking,
effective immediately, the following actions in connection
with the dispute between the United Kingdom and Argentina
over the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic:
Issuance of an NSC-approved press statement which
summarizes the U.S. position in the South Atlantic
crisis, is supportive of the UK position and includes
the announcement of concrete steps underscoring U.S.
determination not to condone the use of unlawful
force to resolve disputes.
The suspension of all military exports to Argentina.
This action covers deliveries of all items remaining
in the FMS pipeline, primarily affecting spare parts
in the amount of $3.9 million; it also covers the
suspension of existing licenses for export of Munitions
List items to Argentina and the withholding of further
export licenses for such items. This suspension will
affect non-government as well as government end-uses
in Argentina, thereby reaching a category not covered
by the Humphrey-Kennedy Amendment or the subsequent
legislation.
The withholding of certification of Argentine eligibility
for military sales and export licenses under section
725(b) of the International Security and Development
Cooperation Act of 1981.
The withholding of non-Munitions List export license
requests for dual-use and related COCOM-type items.
The withholding of new Export-Import Bank credits,
insurance and guarantees.
The withholding of new Commodity Credit Corporation
guarantees (which affects agricultural products worth
approximately $2 million).

sanctions which the U.S. has at its disposal and which
could be applied depending on circumstances.
The withholding of any required U.S. consent for
third-country transfers of U.S. origin items the export
of which from the U.S. would not be approved under the
above decisions. (Note: Withholding of consent for
transfer of FMS origin items sold to third countries
is compelled by existing law).
