SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
June =25, 1982
The SIG convened to discuss agency views and recommendations
on the issues presented in the Report to the President on Law of
the Sea. Chairman Buckley introduced a draft summary. The paper
was discussed line by line. A number of clarifications were
agreed to, particularly with regard to Issue 5. It was the chair-
man's view, supported by USUN and others, that both courtesy and
tactics require some acknowledgement of the urgings of other gov-
ernments, notwithstanding the SIG's negative assessment of their eventual use-
fulness to U.S. objectives. Interior and others expressed reser-
vations that in case such offers yielded only partial results when
measured against the President's six objectives, the U.S. would
suffer in meeting its objectives through an alternative seabed
arrangement. All participating agencies agreed the U.S. should
strengthen high-level efforts to persuade key allies to remain
outside the-LOS convention and to participate with us in alterna-
tive seabed mining arrangements.
Responsibility for revising the paper was assigned to Mr.
Guhin of the NSC and Mr. Salmon of State, with others invited to
participate as well. Mr. Guhin announced that an NSC meeting on
Law of the Sea was being considered for Tuesday, June 29.
ACTION REQUIREMENTS
1. A drafting group was assigned to revise the paper accord-
ing to the guidance developed in the SIG meeting.
2. The SIG undertook to circulate the revised paper for final
interagency clearance. This was to be done the day of the SIG,
with agency clearances requested the following day in time for the
final paper to be conveyed to. the White House by COB Friday,
June 25.
