NOTES LTA: Further details regarding possible bi- lateral assistance from a number of NATO countries have been added to the UK-NATO cash and aid package offer of almost $24 million annually. The latest British communication to Prime Minister Mintoff states that West Germany, Italy, Canada, and Norway are prepared to enter bilateral discussions with Malta and that other allied governments are still considering the matter. Mintoff reportedly hopes for some $14 million in bilateral aid from NATO coun- tries apparently because he realizes that the UK-NATO offer is unlikely to go any higher. Mintoff recently commented to the German ambassador in Valletta that he is willing to "negotiate bilaterally for up to six months," a considerably longer time than he has been prepared to allow for an acceptable UK-NATO package I 15 Sep 71 Central Intelligence Bulletin 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 Approved For Red Approved For ReI1e 2003/08/08 : CIA-RDP79T00975A0$00060002-1 25X1 Top Secret Top Secret Approved For Release 2003/08/08 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO20000060002-1
