MEMO FOR CHIEF, POLICY 81 PLANS DIVISION

SLJIMIEC’I': Clear and Present Danger

I have reviewed again the attached subject

script. There are some minor changes which should
be made, such as NCO»soIdier relationships.

My real difficulty is the way our soldiers are

"shanghaicd" into a black —— superblack -— operation.
()11 :1 larger scale, I do not. see how we can support
unless DOT) -— with the concurrence of State. CIA.
Justice and the White House »~ agrees to support.
The Army portrayed is not unfavorable but the issues
are much larger than the Army. We must see
concurrence documentation as indicated above.

1. ‘Refcrence OASD/PA Memorandum of 27 May 1993, SAB: USSO¢OM has

rev1cwed Mr. Clancy's pro osed screenplay script to determine
appropriateness of military production supp“r .

2. The following comments are offered for OASD/PA consideration-

Thcrc was little Lo no mention or reference of Special Operations
FOICQS (SOE); SOE tactics, techniques or procedures were no
compromised; and references to SGF equipment were minimal and
accurate. However, in places the script does mock the President
in his role as the Commander in Chief, is decision processes on
the use of military forces, and the workings of the Nations
Security Council (NSC).

3. In the final analysis, USSOCOM would not recommend DOD

support to this project.

In response to your memo of 27 May 1993, the Marine Corps has

no interest in supporting the subject production. We d 0 not
think it is appropriate to be associated with a project with a
plot that centers around a Presidential conspiracy to launch an‘
unauthorized covert operation against the Columbian drug lords in
response to he murder of a friend of the President. Further,
the Marine support is relatively incidental to the story and does
nothing to enhance public appreciation for the Corps.

for the movie:

a. While recognizing that this production is fiction and

following operations which occur in the book, US—Latin
American relations and DOD programs could be damaged:

(1) US troops land in Bolivia (p.27) and conduct

operations in Colombia, in which they attack drug
processing plants (p.42). The activity escalates with
the launching of a lazer—guided bomb against a target
in Colombia (p.71), and the use of Cobra attack
helicopters to support and rescue the ground troops
(p.117). These are portrayed as unilateral US
actions, not coordinated with the governments of the
countries in which the actions take place. Latin
American countries are extremely sensitive to any
violations of their sovereignty.

(2) In a planned operation, a US F—lS shoots down a

c. As the repository of expertise within the Army for

unconvenLional warfare. special operations forces should not be
expected to participate in "cold—blooded turkey-shoot
operations". References to execution—styled ambushes must be
removed from the script. Search and destroy missions are more
appropriate than the ambush and withdraw operations currently

MEMO T0: Gan Bogle

SUBJECT: "Clear and Present Danger' Movie Script

SITUATION: Individual service representatives met recently with Don to discuss

support of the production ”clear and Present Danger." a movie based on Tom
ClEHCY'S book. Everyone agrees that this movie will enjoy the same level of
popularity seen in Clancy's "Hunt for Red October."

At present. DoD and the services have enough objections to basic elements a!
the script that some major rework will be required. It became clear in the
meeting that each of the services will support the movie -- provided changes
are made -- except for the Alt Force!

he basi ions of such of the services and how they tentatively

d s: a :

ARMY: objected to members of their light infantry divisions (with night scopes
and high-powered rifles) sniping a ‘ ‘ “ ‘ ‘ ‘ an ‘ r ‘
peasants. The peasants were engaged in growing and shipping illegal drugs.
The Army would like to see the peasants pictured as more heavily armed and more
aggressive. Participants agreed this could easily be written into the script.
NAVY Objected to having aircraft take of! from a carrier without the
knowledge of the CO. Navy proposes to have do know about_it. but some other
prominent officer does not. This seen as an easy fix.
EARINES: objected to wrong kind of aircraft attacking drug lords. wanted
Marine Harrier shown as an attacking aircraft. This seen as an easy fix.

COAST GUARD: Shown as playing some role in the original script. but minor, and
mostly nun-combative. Once the Coast Guard participants realized that the
other services seemed to be coming on board. they decided they wanted to play.
They propose to have themselves included in some heavier combat role against
drug shippers.

AIR FORCE: Only objection was that two P-159 shoot down "innocent' unarmed
civilian aircraft. Our Air Force representative has now moved further away
from 53; Air Force participation. suggesting instead that perhaps the only air
Force play should be an AWACS controlling other services' aircraft. There's n
LLQ problem with this approach: ’

The Air Force will be seen as the 'wimpy' service. While

the others are killing the bad guys. all the Air Force does
is help the Navy. Army. Marines and Coast Guard by flying
around in some fat radar plane. The Air Force stays well out
of harm's way.

Also. when it becomes apparent that we had a chance to

participate in this "combat" and chose to write ourselves out
 of it. . . _
We mustsgigiA Will Lake a maJor hit from AF leadership.

our way.
are are some alternatives:

InStead °f haVinS the F-15 shoot down an unarmed. ”innocent" drug-running

fViE1Bn airplane, the script could easily be adapted.
For example. th‘
LViria“ drug-running airplane could have sensors on-DOard, and the pilots
’uld be “Ctivatins a rear—firing rocket to shoot down our F-lSs. But in o
:ment of real drama, our F-lSs do the trick first. Also. our F-lSB could be
”ECkEd by some drug-runners on the ground with hand-held. IR. shoulder-fired
EMS» They could even fire one and have a near-miss explosion just moments
efore our F-lSs shoot the bad guys. Our P~1Ss ggglg be flying under lawful
rders because earlier in the script a scene would show the President giving
nat order to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs in a we: room. Also. the script
Duld have a brief exchange between F-ls pilots over the intercom before they
l--- ju5£.iu verify the lawful order. Also, the drug runners could be shown
a have some vague intelligence that our FalSa would be cruising in the area.
nd put them under some kind of surveillance. including the sen threat.
astly. there could be a preceding scene in which the President makes it clear
0 his cabinet or to the JCS that young Americana are dying in the streets
ecause of this illicit drug activity in South America. The audience will
learly understand that these 'gcod guys" flying in civilian aircraft (hauling
rugs) are indirectly murdering Americans. The drug runners will not be seen
a 'innocent." or 'unarmed.‘

think we need to make these points to Chuck Davis as he joins the other DoD
olks in negotiations with the producers. he won't like it. but he needs to
aka a broader view on this one or the Air Force is going to be the loser.

Ref: (a) DODINST 5410.16

I have reviewed the script [or "clear and Press

The lack of knowledge by Lhe Navy command structure

of the A—a mission to bomb the drug cartel hacienda is

In such positions of responsibility are cleared for nu
sensitive/covert missions, and to leave them out of the
”loop" says Lhat the Navy has no control over its pilots.

The screenplay for "Clear and Present Danger“

contains more than 0 instances of profanity. while
profanity is not unknown in the military, this script’s
gratuitous use of profanity conveys an incorrect and
negative stereotype of the military. in this day of Nav
horn values and awareness of human values in the workplace,
this is unacceptable.

* The character of "Robbie" is undefined in the

screenplay, leading to the impression that he is the
commanding officer of the USS KENNEDY. If so, his absence
from the deployed ship to travel back to Washington to visit
Jack Ryan is unrealistic to the point or being ludicrous.

Other negativn aspects of the screenplay, while not

Navy specific, include:

* lhe negatlve characterization of the President as an

* All of the Latin American characters portrayed in the
screenplay are negative, raising the issue of possible
negative stereotyping. "

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF THE JOINT STAFF

SUBJECT: Request for Authorization to Provide Technical

sistance to Producer of Motion Picture ”Clear and
Present Danger"

Several weeks ago a proposed script for the movie, "Clear

and Present Danger," was circulated within the Joint Staff for
comment to help determine whether DoD should provide production
assistance to Parmount Pictures. For a variety of reasons, it
was determined not to be in our interests to support production
of the film as it was scripte .

Mr. Phil Strub, OASD(PA) Special Assistant for Audiovisual

Matters conveyed that decision to the producer, who in turn
asked for technical assistance to “clean up" the script to make
it acceptable and enable our support of its production.

Strub solicited advice from SOCOM and LCOL Don Gersh,

' ' Both
parties suggested COL Kraus as the best person to prev
‘ ‘ is film. COL Kraus
, but indicates he will not do so
without your concurrence.

The film's producer will be in Washington, DC Wednesday,

August, and

would like to meet with COL Kraus at that time. If
you concur, CDR Dooley and LCOL Gersh will monitor.
meeting
‘
in no way commits us to further cooperation
if an
acceptable script is not forthcoming. But even if we do not
provide official DoD support, filming will
start in October,
and this may allow us to limit damage
that might otherwise come
from blatantly misleading portrayals of
special operations.

Dear Mace:

This is in response to the 12/13/93 revised pages for

"clear
and Present Danger," The following reguirements
enc osure are suggestions for how they might be Pertain‘ In Fhe
incorporated into
the script.

. . Scenes 63C — 65: Soldiers cannot shoot down the

aircraft, or destroy it by any other means if in doing so, they
kill people.

2. Scene 268:

a. Johns cannot take Clark and Ryan back to Colombia.

He wouldn't undertake a foo hardy, unauthorized rescue mission.
Whether or not he uses a military helicopter or is on leave is
irrelevant;

b. Johns can receive orders at this point only from

his military chain of comm , not directly from the National
Security Advisor or anyone else outside of his Chain of command;

c. The Colombian government must be made aware of the

rescue mission and showing its approval by providing some support
[must establish in dialogue and by having Colombia soldier in
rescue helicopter);

d. Johns cannot be out of radio communications with

Ryan and Clark.

3 Scene 293A: John cannot be preparing to leave and then

be alerted to the whereabouts of the team simply by seeing smoke.
Must either establish that they've been in radio communicat ions,
(particularly while in near proximity to each other), or have the
helicopters suddenly appear and we assume that they've been in
radio communications.

4. Scenes 297 — 315A: The rescue must involve two MH—GO'S,

one flying in support of the one piloted by CWO Johns.

5. Cutter must be a civilian, not former military (general

or admiral).

attached latest revision of the script, nearly all of these have
been revised to ameliorate the negative and inaccurate
consultation with the Joint Staff, the military
ve been substantially revised and made reasonab y
accurate and positive. Additionally:

l. The military is depicted as participating in what we

believe to be an authorized, legal, clandestine (vice covert}
operation. It has been established that a military chain of
. command has authorized the mission.

2. The negative portrayals of Colombians and U.S. diplomats

have been deleted.

3. The script reflects rules of engagement; the military

does not assassinate guards or shoot down unarmed aircraft.

, Navy A—G is not launched without the knowledge of the

ship's commanding officer or battle group commander.

The production company has scaled down their request for

military assistance. T e

abo They also want to

use two MH—EO helicopters for two or three days in the vicinity
of Xalapa, Mexico.
The film is already in production on scenes that don't
involve the mi itary. We've been providing technical advice to
enhance military accuracy and foster p051tive depictions.

Sum-J. “CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER"
- Department ot Dctonsc Assistance Agreement

As we discussed this morning last Thursday the base commander at Los Alamiios
in‘crrnao the production
that he IrlSiStttd on hnvlnc a signed copy oi the Department ol Delense‘s
Production Assistance Agreement. :1
copy ul winch you aunt (in Andrea Sonnenbarg's and my absence) to Scott Martin tor
hi3 review. This
morning, Scott and i checked our tiles to confirm that the Assistance Agreement
Is comparable to the
agreements that have been entered into by Paramount with the Department oi Defense
and branches at
military on previous productions.

In iight of the excellent working relationship that Paramount and the Department or Defense have enjoyed
over the years. motor-ting on ”The Hunt lor lied October” and “Flight ol the Intruder", we believe that the
Assistance Agreerrtent can be signed as Is. provided that it is niarllled that the purpose at Major Georgi's
participation In and review ol the lootage ol the scones that trtvolva or depict military is to be sure that the
motion pint-no as produced stay: true to the essential elements oi the script that the Department of Delnnsn
has approved t include a copy of the letter that Mace received train the Deputy Assistant Secretary or
[intense in connection wrilt "l light at the intruder", which sets out this point at sterilisation.

i understand from my discussions will) Ralph and Us that Major Georgi has boon actively and heiplully
involved with the production from day one. and i should remind you at what you already know. that we need
to continue to involve Major Georgi. to the extent that he ls available. through post-production. it will be
hutptut to you to re -read Paragraph to. or the Assistance Agreement. which otters a guide to the tone oi
participation that the Department oi Delense is looking tor (which Is. basically, the kind oi participation that
we enjoyed on both “War and 'Flighl‘).

It you have any questions about now to proceed. please do not hesitate to call me. Otherwise. the
Aeqlsiance Agreement can be signed and accompanist! by a clarifying transmittal letter that says (as noted
above} that the purpona at Major Goorgi's review ol production and postproductinn materials [including the
Department oi Delense's screening at the picture prior to public exhibition) is to allow them to gently that the
picture stays true to tho essential elements at the script For convenience, I enclose such a transmittal letter.
