The 1985 NPT review conference: implications of consensus

The attached memorandum offers an intelligence perspective on developments at last fall's NPT Review Conference. It is intended primarily as a record transpired of how issues and how key delegations approached and reacted to the interplay of issues. Overall, we believe the conference outcome represented a significant revalidation of the NPT but that the treaty nonetheless remains vulnerable to pressures arising from disarmament concerns and he intrusion of largely tangential political issues.
