Abstract
This chapter examines the so-called Red Line Agreement, an unwritten, informal understanding that Syria and Israel allegedly reached to define the scope of the Syrian intervention in Lebanon. The Red Line Agreement was believed to be the result of a series of secret negotiations conducted via third parties between March and June 1976. This chapter begins with a discussion of the so-called Constitutional Document, which proposed a set of seventeen changes to the Lebanese Constitution. It then considers the “negotiations” between Syrian and U.S. officials in Damascus that allegedly led to the Red Line Agreement authorizing a limited Syrian intervention in Lebanon. It also looks at L. Dean Brown's mission to Lebanon and the issue of possible cooperation between the United States and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Finally, it analyzes the Lebanese presidential election, won by Elias Sarkis, and the overt Syrian military intervention in Lebanon.
