2. I TOOK THE OCCASION OF A DECEMBER 17 MEETING ON OTHER
SUBJECTS WITH MINISTER OF INTERIOR DRISS BASRI TO
EMPHASIZE USG CONCERN OVER ACTIVITIES OF THE ABU NIDAL
TERRORIST GROUP AND TO PROVIDE HIM WITH A COPY OF THE
EXCELLENT ANALYSIS OF THE ABU NIDAL GROUP AND CHRONOLOGY
(REF C). I EMPHASIZED OUR DESIRE TO COOPERATE WITH THE
GOM AND WORK TOWARD A COMMON INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TO
COMBAT TERRORISM. BASRI, AS IN EARLIER CONVERSATIONS,
RESPONDED THAT HE WAS EAGER TO COOPERATE WITH THE USG.
HE SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE HIS STAFF PREPARE AN ANALYSIS
