Today the President signed the National Security Decision
Directive on Public Diplomacy. At the sass time, he has
reiterated the high priority which he attaches to the issues
of peace and security, with particular focus on the twin
matterQ of arms control. and deployment in Europe. He has
asked me, in my capacity a" Chairman of the Special Planning
Group (SPG), to designate a point man to be responsible for
the development of a. public diplomacy strategy on European
security and arms control while the International Political
Committee (IPC) -is being formed. (6)
After consultations with Secretary Shultz, I have asked
Ambassador Peter Dailey to assume this responsibility and
chair an interagency committee on European Security and Arms Control Public Diplomacy. This matter is of immediate impor-
tance. His appointment will be temporary and in addition to
his appointment as our Ambassador to Ireland. For this assign-
ment, he will function as the President's Personal
Representative. (S)
Ambassador Daily and his+ committee will carry 'out their
responsibilitie in the context of the IPC, with substantive
policy guidance to be provided by established policymaking
bodies in his f eid, particularly the INF Interdepartmental
Group. The Pub is Affairs and International Information" Commit-
tees will also lay roles in this overall effort. (S)
As chairman of his European subgroup of the IPC, Ambassador
Dailey will need staff support, to include officers detailed
from appropriate agencies and.departments. - His office will
be established in the Department of State. I request the
Department of State provide Ambassador Dailey with appropriate
office space, logistic support operating budget, and clerical
support. .
