A serious agreement with Franco's Spain had never been submitted to the US Senate for its consent. This one was not a "secret" yet seemed to escape press coverage.

In 1953 the US began to pay Spain for US bases there. The Kennedy administration had extended the agreement to include a Polaris submarine base. The 1963 extension had words to the effect that a threat to either country would be a matter of dual concern. Apparently, the new agreement had been placed in the hands of the Spanish Ambassador in Washington DC to reword to cover the new submarine base.

It became known that the Ambassador cleverly used the exact words in the SEATO treaty to make it a mutually agreed upon "deal". The new extension was also not ratified by the US Senate. The matter stood until 1970, when it was finally addressed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
