He thinks the OGC review was well done, and that the point that non-U.S. firms would quickly move in to replace Gulf in Angola is on the mark. Although the changeover would not cost Angola much--if any--hard currency, it would add stress to an already troubled economic situation. D/ALA, concurred. The decision really hinges on what our objective is in pursuing this. It does present an opportunity to impress U.S. businessmen that the policy is real, but I doubt the move would have much effect on Cuba. Also, Gulf would probably sell its assets easily. Referring the issue to Treasury is a must, but is probably the kiss of death for the proposal--OGI doubts Treasury will ao along. / 674,- -~~ e4A_J 4) 1~- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP88GO1116R000700810002-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/04/05: CIA-RDP88G01116R000700810002-4 pce- o-3'07o-es- DL.
