Libya Working Group Meeting, 24 February 1982
1. The Libya Working Group met on 24 February to set in train
preparations to implement the decisions expected to be made at the.-NSC meeting
on Libya on 25 February. It.vis clear that any new steps against Libya will
involve a major effort by numerous departments and agencies and the more
extreme possiblities will be a nightmare so far as implementing regulations,
congressional relations, and relations with allies and other Arab countries
are concerned.
2. The following tasks have been laid on, for completion by 26 February
unless otherwise specified:
-- State is to prepare two sets of cables for use in consultations with
other governments. One will cover the specifics of USG plans and the
reasons therefore in general terms. The other will be an intelligence
"bill of particulars." I offered to provide the material we have
recently pulled together as the basis for this. We will be in touch
with the DO to obtain the necessary clearances.
-- Commerce and Treasury will give State some inputs on what is not being
done -- financial sanctions, third country measures, etc. -- for use
in consultations.
State will do a strategy paper for congressional consultations, laying
out the committees and individuals to be contacted and by whom.
State will develop questions that may be asked on the Hill and other
Agencies will be tasked to prepare answers.
State will begin work on press guidance to be used once the decisions
are formally announced or become known through leaks. In the short
run, however, the guidance is, "We do not discuss the details of NSC
deliberations."
-- Commerce will begin developing procedures for implementing any
boycotts or embargoes that are decided upon (completion in two weeks).
