THE PRESIDENT SAID IT PAINED HIM TO HAVE TO MAKE THIS DEMARCHE BUT IF HIS ANALYSIS PROVED CORRECT IT WAS THE ONLY WAY HE COULD THINK OF TO NEUTRALIZE FURTHER EXPLOITATION OF OUR REPORT BY THOSE COLOMBIAN POLITICAL ELEMENTS WHO WERE INTENT ON INFLUENCING THE ELECTORAL PROCESS HE SAID THAT THE AIDE MEMOIRE TO WHICH ONLY HE AND HIS SECRETARY HAD BEEN PRIVY HE HAD INFORMED THE FOREIGN MINISTER BUY HAD NOT SHOWN HIM THE DOCUMENT WOULD ONLY BE USED IN THE EVENT THAT IT BECAME POLITICALLY NECESSARY IT WAS ALSO CLEAR THAT HE SAW THE AIDE MEMOIRE AS POLITICALLY EMBARRASSING TO PRESIDENT CARTER PERSONALLY AND IS BANKING ON THIS THESIS TO SWING US AROUND IN SUPPORT OF HIS EFFORTS TO BUTTRESS THE CANDIDACY OF TURBAY AYALA I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS MORE A REFLECTION OF THE PRESIDENT'S EGOCENTRICITY THAN OF REALITY SINCE EVEN IN A WORST-CASE SCENARIO THE PRESENTATION OF THE ORIGINAL REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT IS DEFENSIBLE IN ANY POLITICAL CONTEXT 6 WE THEN PROCEEDED TO HAVE A ROUSING BUT GENIAL DISCUSSION OF THIS COURSE OF ACTION AFTER DEBATING THE PROS AND CONS OF THE AIDE MEMOIRE AND ITS POTENTIAL EFFECT ON THE NARCOTICS PROGRAM WE DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF ASSISTING THE

AFTER SUCH A MEETING AND IN ANSWER TO DIRECT QUESTIONS SAY THAT I HAD NO INFORMATION THAT THE MINISTER WAS A TRAFFICKER I AM NOT PERSONALLY INCLINED TO CONFER SAINTHOOD ON THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE AT THIS POINT UNLESS INSTRUCTED OTHERWISE BY THE DEPARTMENT HE IS PROBABLY NOT A TRAFFICKER BUT FROM ALL INDICATIONS HE IS PROBABLY ALSO NO BETTER THAN HE HAS TO BE IN CONSIDERING THIS POINT HOWEVER WASHINGTON AGENCIES SHOULD BE AWARE THAT SUCH A COURSE MAY PROBABLY BE THE ONLY ONE WHICH HAS A CHANCE OF KEEPING THE PRESIDENT FROM PUBLISHING THE AIDE MEMOIRE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN IS THAT IF

SHORT TERM WE WOULD RISK THE CURRENT NARCOTICS PROGRAM WHICH IS NOW BEGINNING TO SHOW PROMISE AFTER A SOMETIMES DIFFICULT GESTATION PERIOD THE PRESENT COOPERATIVE FRAMEWORK WITH THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT WOULD PROBABLY DISAPPEAR WE WOULD ABANDON OUR OBJECTIVE OF BUILDING A VIABLE NARCOTICS UNIT NOW WITH POTENTIAL TO SURVIVE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS WE WOULD START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH THE NEW ADMINISTRATION IT CAN BE ARGUED THAT REGARDLESS OF THE WINNER NO NEW PRESIDENT COULD AFFORT TO NEGLECT THE DRUG PROBLEM I FIND THIS COURSE OF ACTION PERSONALLY DISTASTEFUL IN ITS PASSIVE ROLE
