UNITED STATES `POLICY TOWARD YUGOSLAVIA (8)
As pointed out in the interagency report on United States Policy
toward Yugoslavia, an independent, economically viable, stable
and militarily capable Yugoslavia serves Western and'U.S.
interests. Yugoslavia is an.important obstacle to Soviet
expansionism and hegemony in southern Europe. Yugoslavia also
serves as a useful reminder to countries in Eastern Europe of the
advantages of'independence from Moscow and of the benefits of
friendly relations with the West. (S)
The severe financial situation facing Yugoslavia could pose a
s.rious threat to Yugoslavia's ability to maintain those policies
which best serve our interests. We must work closely with our
A:11.i:es and the other major. industrial democracies in supporting
Yugoslavia's determination to remain an independent and viable
force on the Warsaw Pact's southern flank. It is in L.S.
interests that Yugoslavia be able to resist pressures from the
Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. We will also continue to
encourage Yugoslavia's long-term internal liberalization. (5)
I have determined that, in pursuing our long-established policy
of support for the independence, territorial integrity and
national unity of Yugoslavia, the following measures will be
taken:
77. The U.S. will continue its close cooperation with other
friendly countries to support`Yugoslavia's efforts to overcome
its financial difficulties. We will seek to expand U.S. economic
relations with Yugoslavia in ways which benefit both countries
and which strengthen Yugoslavia's ties with the industrialized
democracies. U.S. policy .will be to promote the trend toward an
effective, market-oriented Yugoslav economic structure. (S)
The U.S. will pursue the well-established dialogue with
Yugoslav leaders on issues of mutual interest and concern. We
will take the opportunity provided by high-level official visits
to reiterate U.S. support for Yugoslav
iindependcnce territorial
integrity and national unity. Our policy will encourage Yugoslavia to play a moderating role within the
Nonaligned Movement and to counter Cuban and Soviet influence in
that organization. (S)

-- The U.S. will strive, in accordance with our established
arms transfer policy toward Yugoslavia and consistent with the
policies established in NSDD-5, to facilitate military cooperation
with that country. We will foster sales to Yugoslavia of arms
and equipment required for their legitimate defense needs on a
case-by-case basis, subject to appropriate technology safeguards
and financial arrangements. The U.S. will encourage Western
European Allies to follow similar policies. (S)
? GSMIA. The U.S. Government will negotiate a General
Security of Military Information Agreement between the U.S.
Government and the Government of Yugoslavia. (S)
o MOU? The U.S. Government will review the existing Memoranda
of Understanding with Yugoslavia regarding transfer of
technology in light of current standards, which are more
stringent than those of the late 1970s. In this regard, the
U...S. Government will conduct an interagency review of the
adequacy of the MOUs with Yugoslavia and, specifically, will
compare them to the Swedish and Austrian MOUs. The U.S.
Government will then inform the Government of Yugoslavia
whether the existing.MOUs require modification or are
adequate. (S)
