MEMORANDUM FOR: The Honorable William P. Clark
Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs
In the past Secretary Shultz and I have talked
about the possibility that American officials have
made statements of intention to the Chinese that were
not subsequently fulfilled. The attached appendix,
entitled "US and Chinese Statements, 1977 to the
Present," is an accounting of these statements based
on a review of files in Atlanta, Plains, the NSC,
Defense, Commerce, Treasury, and State.
The accounting shows that statements made in 1979
and 1980 gave the Chinese reason to expect to receive
more US high technology than has been the case. Note
particularly pages 14 through 18 and pages 28 through
