Memorandum for the President from Henry A. Kissenger

This document, marked as Top Secret, is a memorandum from Henry A. Kissinger to the President. It states that the Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), Jim Schlesinger, has requested a meeting with the President to discuss several topics. The first topic is the cleanup of plutonium through centrifugation, which could potentially provide a low-cost solution to supply weapons-grade material but also has implications for nuclear proliferation. The second topic relates to recent developments in weapon technology, specifically the possibility of increasing yields of reentry vehicles (RVs) without changing their weight or configuration. The third topic concerns overseas sales of nuclear equipment and fuel and their implications for foreign exchange. The memorandum recommends that the President meet with Chairman Schlesinger to address these topics, with the meeting planned for after November 9. The final section of the document includes options for the President to approve or disapprove the meeting.
