Central Intelligence Agency
8 January 1986
MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
The Vice President
Secretary of State
Secretary of Defense
Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs
Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
SUBJECT: Libya-US: Repercussions of the President's
Special Measures
The attached analysis assesses Libya's potential reactions to the measures
the President announced last night. While it suggests that there are obviously
risks, it states that in the military arena there is a greater risk of air
clashes in the Gulf of Sidra than of attacks on US ships, but notes that Qadhafi
is still very concerned about the possibility of a US military strike. On the
economic side, it notes that the economic sanctions will have some real short-
term effect but no significant long-term impact without support from the Europeans.
