MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Emergency Requests for Foreign Assistance
NIC #03663-84
22 June 1984
I attended an interagency meeting in the White House Situation Room
chaired by Bud McFarlane to discuss the establishment of a new IG on
Emergency Requests for Foreign Assistance. The IG would probably be
chaired by Assistant Secretary of State for Security Asssitance Schneider
and CIA would be represented. It would try to coordinate the USG's
response to special emegency requests for aid which were not anticipated
in the normal planning process. Treasury would like the IG to be under
the SIG-IEP. Most other agencies would prefer an independent IG. The
chances are that the SIG-IEP will review at least some of the IG's
recommendations in any case.

SUBJECT:
Procedures for Handling Special Requests
for Changes in Foreign Assistance
This memorandum describes the process for handling special
requests which arise during the year for adjustments in
established levels or terms of foreign assistance to a country.
These requests quite often occur in the course of state visits
and sometimes through high-level American visits overseas, but
they also result from significant changes in country conditions.
These requests for adjustments include:
- commitment of resources which would call for an increase in
current or future budgets;
- major reallocation of existing resources; and
- changing terms of assistance.
Such requests shall be reviewed by an ad hoc group, chaired by
the Under Secretary of State for Security Assistance, Science and
Technology (T), with the Administrator of AID as vice-chairman.
This group will be composed of representatives from OMB, NSC,
Treasury, DOD, USDA, CIA, and others, as appropriate depending
upon the nature of the request.
In conjunction with AID, T will issue instructions to relevant
offices within State and AID and to other departments defining
the process for review. This process will make provision for
obtaining final positions from relevant agency heads.
Recommendations on issues that cannot be resolved by the ad hoc
group, as well as recommendations to seek additional resources,
shall be sent to the President through the National Security
Advisor and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
