I HAVE THE HONOR TO REFER TO THE MANY CONVERSATIONS
BETWEEN HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF
LEBANON AND MEMBERS OF THE LEBANESE GOVERNMENT ON THE
ONE HAND, AND AMBASSADOR PHILIP C. HABIB, SPECIAL
EMISSARY OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, ON THE OTHER HAND, AS WELL AS TO THE
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS PASSED ON
AUGUST 1982. I HAVE THE HONOR TO REFER TO THE
SCHEDULE SET UP BY THE GOVERNMENT OF LEBANON, AFTER
CONSULTATIONS WITH INTERESTED PARTIES, IN ORDER TO
ASSURE THE WITHDRAWAL FROM LEBANESE TERRITORY OF THE
PALESTINIAN LEADERS, OFFICES AND COMBATANTS RELATED TO
ANY ORGANIZATION NOW IN THE BEIRUT AREA, IN A MANNER
WHICH WILL:
(1) ASSURE THE SAFETY OF SUCH DEPARTING PERSONNEL;
(2) ASSURE THE SAFETY OF OTHER PERSONS IN THE AREA; AND
(3) FURTHER THE RESTORATION OF THE SOVEREIGNTY AND
AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF LEBANON OVER THE
BEIRUT AREA.
IN THIS CONTEXT, THE GOVERNMENT OF LEBANON IS PROPOSING
TO SEVERAL NATIONS THAT THEY CONTRIBUTE FORCES TO SERVE
AS A TEMPORARY MULTINATIONAL FORCE (MNF) IN BEIRUT.
THE MANDATE OF THE MNF WILL BE TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE
ASSISTANCE TO THE LEBANESE ARMED FORCES (LAF) AS THEY
CARRY OUT THE FOREGOING RESPONSIBILITIES, IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE ANNEXED SCHEDULE. THE MNF MAY UNDERTAKE OTHER
FUNCTIONS ONLY BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT. IT IS UNDERSTOOD
THAT, IN THE EVENT THAT THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE
PALESTINIAN PERSONNEL REFERRED TO ABOVE DOES NOT TAKE
PLACE IN ACCORD WITH THE PREDETERMINED SCHEDULE, THE
MANDATE OF THE MNF WILL TERMINATE IMMEDIATELY AND ALL
MNF PERSONNEL WOULD LEAVE LEBANON FORTHWITH.
IN THE FOREGOING CONTEXT, I HAVE THE HONOR TO PROPOSE
THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPLOY A FORCE OF
APPROXIMATELY 800 PERSONNEL TO BEIRUT, SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
-- THE AMERICAN MILITARY FORCE SHALL CARRY OUT APPRO-
PRIATE ACTIVITIES CONSISTENT WITH THE MANDATE OF THE
MNF.
-- COMMAND AUTHORITY OVER THE AMERICAN FORCE WILL BE
EXERCISED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
THROUGH EXISTING AMERICAN MILITARY CHANNELS.
-- THE AMERICAN FORCE WILL OPERATE IN CLOSE COORDINA-
TION WITH THE LAF. TO ASSURE EFFECTIVE COORDINATION
WITH THE LAF, THE AMERICAN FORCE WILL ASSIGN LIAISON
OFFICERS TO THE LAF AND THE GOVERNMENT OF LEBANON WILL
ASSIGN LIAISON OFFICERS TO THE AMERICAN FORCE. THE LAF
LIAISON OFFICERS TO THE AMERICAN FORCE WILL, INTER
ALIA, PERFORM LIAISON WITH THE CIVILIAN POPULATION AND
MANIFEST THE AUTHORITY OF THE LEBANESE GOVERNMENT IN
ALL APPROPRIATE SITUATIONS.
-- IN CARRYING OUT ITS MISSION, THE AMERICAN FORCE WILL
NOT ENGAGE IN COMBAT. IT MAY, HOWEVER, EXERCISE THE
RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE.
-- THE AMERICAN FORCE WILL DEPART LEBANON NOT LATER
THAN THIRTY DAYS AFTER ITS ARRIVAL, OR SOONER AT THE
REQUEST OF THE PRESIDENT OF LEBANON OR AT THE DIREC-

TION OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, OR ACCORDING TO
THE TERMINATION OF THE MANDATE PROVIDED FOR ABOVE.
-- THE GOVERNMENT OF LEBANON AND THE LAF WILL TAKE ALL
MEASURES NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE PROTECTION OF THE
AMERICAN FORCE'S PERSONNEL, TO INCLUDE SECURING AS-
SURANCES FROM ALL ARMED ELEMENTS NOT NOW UNDER THE
AUTHORITY OF THE LEBANESE GOVERNMENT THAT THEY WILL
COMPLY WITH THE CEASE-FIRE AND CESSATION OF HOSTILI-
TIES.
-- THE AMERICAN FORCE WILL ENJOY BOTH THE DEGREE OF
FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AND THE RIGHT TO UNDERTAKE THOSE
ACTIVITIES DEEMED NECESSARY FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS
MISSION OR FOR THE SUPPORT OF ITS PERSONNEL. AC-
CORDINGLY, IT SHALL ENJOY ALL FACILITIES NECESSARY FOR
THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THESE PURPOSES. PERSONNEL IN THE
AMERICAN FORCE SHALL ENJOY THE PRIVILEGES AND IM-
MUNITIES ACCORDED THE ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL
STAFF OF THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN BEIRUT, AND SHALL BE
EXEMPT FROM IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS, AND
RESTRICTIONS ON ENTERING OR DEPARTING LEBANON.
PERSONNEL, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT OF THE AMERICAN FORCE
INTRODUCED INTO LEBANON SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM ANY FORM
OF TAX, DUTY, CHARGE OR LEVY.
I HAVE THE FURTHER HONOR TO PROPOSE, IF THE FOREGOING
IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOUR EXCELLENCY'S GOVERNMENT, THAT
YOUR EXCELLENCY'S REPLY TO THAT EFFECT, TOGETHER WITH
THIS NOTE, SHALL CONSTITUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN OUR
TWO GOVERNMENTS, TO ENTER INTO FORCE ON THE DATE OF
